Truck. Robot. 30-foot tall transforming badass - Roll out.
There are two types of autonomous robotic organisms out there - those who lead, and those who follow (we're looking at you, Ultra Magnus).
To be a leader on a battlefield where your opponents can change from cassette tapes to Laserbeaks, from space shuttles into tanks and back again, you need to be made of the "sterner stuff". With two parts courage, one part bravery, and over 3000 moving parts of a lil' thing called moxie, Optimus Prime was forged to lead.
With Tuesday's DVD release of Transformers, IGN salutes the John Wayne of transforming semis with a breakdown of his top cinematic triumphs, with some Prime wisdom for good measure.
"One shall stand. One shall fall".
Prime spoke these words at the Battle for Autobot City. There, he came to his fellow Autobots' aid and fought his ultimate nemesis, the power-tripping, arm-blaster wielding Megatron.
In a fierce, hand-to-hand fight, Prime and Megs duked it out, finding new ways to inflict robot-on-robot pain. At one point in the fight, Prime, Captain Kirk-style, resorted to the tried-and-true Piledriver, clasping both fists to deliver a finishing blow - sending the Decepticon airborne, over a steep drop off, and into a broken, recyclable mess below.
But Prime's victory came at the ultimate cost - his own life. On Perceptor's slab, Prime gave his last breath, passing on the Matrix of Leadership in the hope it would light the Autobots' darkest hour.
And even though he wasn't there in person to send Unicron's horned-melon into orbit, he was definitely there in spirit, as his Matrix, backed by the soul-thundering power-chords of Stan Bush's 'The Touch', helped new Autobot leader Rodimus Prime save the day.


We did several video clips while our ladybugs grew up the past few weeks! They went from larva to pupa and then to adult ladybugs and they are orange. Katie loved it so much and she is sad to let them go outside this week. I was going to keep them over the winter but then I read that a female ladybug lays 50 eggs in one day and 1,000 in its lifetime and well.....I don't want a ladybug farm folks lol! =0 So we are letting them free when we get a warm day since they can't fly when it is below 55 degrees.
Sorry for the bad videoing on my part - I moved the camera a a lot and my camera is 7 years old.
Lift the Lid on Mummies Fun!


Is Being Middle Class No Longer Enough?
We often think about “being middle class” as living with enough. If you’re middle class, you might not be “rich,” but you usually have enough to cover your needs and some of your wants. We often think of being middle class as being able to handle what you need, as well as maybe take a vacation every couple of years, or enjoy some small luxuries in life.
Vacations: In order to afford a vacation, many in the middle class have been cutting back on TV purchases, trips to the restaurant, and even new clothes.
New cars: According to the USA Today article, a new car’s sticker price is likely to be a little more than $32,000. That means that most middle class families have to make due with used cars — or keep driving their cars until they no longer work.
Pay off debt: Even more disturbing than the inability to go on vacation or buy a new car, is the idea that a middle class income might not be enough to pay off debt. The USA Today article says that debt is growing faster than income. It’s not just credit cars. Mortgages, student loans (which some think will be the next crisis), and even medical debts.
Emergency fund: We consider emergency funds the cornerstone of good finances. They allow us to prepare for rainy days, and avoid debt. However, many families don’t have enough extra each month to set aside money in an emergency fund.
Retirement savings: According to the article, many in the middle class are so burdened with debt and other rising life expenses that they can’t set aside adequate money for retirement savings. Retirement planning is vital for the future, but many in the middle class aren’t able to.
Medical care: Companies increasingly expect employees to take on health care costs. Health care costs have been rising for decades. The yearly rise has increased at a slower rate recently, but there is no getting rid of the increase, and more middle class families have a harder time meeting their medical cost obligations.
Dental work: Dental insurance can be expensive, and it often doesn’t cover what you need it to cover. As a result, it can be difficult to pay for what you need. A number of middle class families, according to the USA Today article, just decide to avoid expensive dental procedures to save on costs.
One of the interesting things about medical care and dental work is that many offices now offer access to lines of credit to help you pay for your work. Even they know that co-pays and meeting deductibles can be difficult to afford without help. Of course, this adds to debt, and makes it harder to set aside money for retirement and emergency funds. It kind of turns into a cycle for many middle class families.
Can You Still Get Ahead?
The real question, of course, is whether or not the USA Today article represents a hopeless situation. It’s true that the current climate offers a number of hurdles to middle class families. However, it also doesn’t mean that things are hopeless.
Many families need to start getting creative with how they manage their money. Some families eschew the trappings of today’s middle class lifestyle. They decide that they don’t need a lot of stuff, and that big TVs and expensive cable packages are unnecessary. Some of them also refuse to buy new cars, or even get multiple cars. There are a number of creative ways to reduce materialism and costs, while still enjoying life and making memories as a family.
Others look for ways to earn extra money. Technology makes it possible to do more from home than ever before. And, with traditional jobs less stable than before, it can make sense to start a home business in order to get the money needed to pay down debt, save for retirement, and/or build an emergency fund.
What do you think? Is it harder for the middle class to get by today? Are there ways to overcome these problems?

It is very satisfying to report that the ArchiTeam inaugural conference was a great success, very well supported with an almost full venue and lots of invaluable information and insights shared in a collegial atmosphere.
The one-day event held on Saturday 26 August at Museum Victoria explored the concept of Small Practice in Community through a diverse program of presentations and one panel discussion.
Speakers traveled from as far afield as the United Kingdom and Malaysia to participate. They included two high-profile, maverick architects with a social conscience – Jeremy McLeod (Breathe Architecture) and Kevin Mark Low (Small Projects) – and creative business facilitator, Caroline Cole (Colander).
First up we heard how Jeremy’s then-small firm took on Australia’s developer- and profit-driven housing market with The Commons and Nightingale projects; then Kevin discussed stepping out of corporate architecture to become a one-man band committed to what he considers our professional raison d’être: making peoples’ lives better, rather than just producing alluring forms and patterns. To this end, the pair shared motivations, war stories, strategies and – sometimes, liquid-papered – drawings (Kevin).
While Jeremy and Kevin challenged and inspired us in philosophical and ethical ways, Caroline ran us through the nuts, bolts and imperatives of setting up good business practices, arguing that we need to treat this as seriously as any fee-paying work.
In very different ways, each speaker encouraged us to resist contemporary pressures to overly focus on ‘pattern-making’ and ‘styling’ – suggesting that content (a design’s ability to solve real problems) and the work of running and growing a business should be viewed as having, at least, equal value.
The panel discussion explored what innovation can look like, in big and small ways, and how it differs and overlaps with invention. Each panel member has made particular innovative contributions in the architectural community, be they establishing a support network for new architects (New Architects Melbourne), an alternative housing development model (The Commons and Nightingale), or a fresh philosophy and approach to working as an architect (Small Projects).
In all, the day was another wonderful opportunity for new and veteran members to share experiences, resources and stimulating ideas true to the ArchiTeam mission.
And we’re already looking forward to the next conference!
Susanne has profiled design, architecture and performing arts projects and themes since the year 2000. She recently returned to Australia after two years working in Central America, and is currently studying a Masters in Cultural Heritage.

Mélanie has Down syndrome. Last night her dream came true: to be a weather girl on TV

PARIS, France, March 16, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — At 21, Mélanie Ségard is a not only a charming young lady, she’s also a happy one: a girl with a dream come true.

More than 5 million French viewers – that’s a 20 percent share of the total audience – watched her present the national weather forecast on Tuesday evening on the main public station, France 2. No big deal? Wait! Mélanie has Down syndrome. And the public loved it.

Mélanie has dreams and ambitions like the rest of us. When she told the National Union of Parents of Mentally Handicapped Children (UNAPEI) of her dearest wish, they liked the idea. One of their objectives is to promote a positive image of the mentally handicapped.

Mélanie had the makings of a perfect messenger for the 65,000 people suffering from the anomaly related to a triple chromosome 21. But they didn’t hand it to her on a platter. They helped, but the success was hers.

At the beginning of the month, Mélanie Ségard posted a video message on a special Facebook page promising that if she got 100,000 “likes” she would present the weather bulletin on television. “Mélanie can do it,” it said.

She obtained more than 200,000 “likes” in 10 days. Meanwhile, several broadcasters contacted UNAPEI to say they were interested. France 2 was chosen as the most symbolic network on which to promote the handicapped rights: state-funded and widely watched.

On the big night, after having been coached by her “godmother” for the occasion, French actress and TV presenter Catherine Laborde – Mélanie can’t read – the young girl came on the set, radiant with happiness. Kindly helped along by the program’s usual presenter, Anaïs Baydémir, she forecast clouds, rain and sunshine for the following four days, reminding viewers to congratulate their friends named “Louise” on that saint’s feast day.

Baydémir then folded her young colleague in a warm embrace. Viewers were treated to a few images of Mélanie getting professional makeup for the recording and her joyful smiles when her job was done. The clip attracted several million views on Facebook and is still going strong.

The touching adventure of Mélanie Ségard was made possible by many friends and found sympathetic ears in the most unexpected places. Television magazines were full with stories of her presentation. At the shopping center last Saturday near Paris, there were video advertisements prompting shoppers to watch her weather forecast on France 2. Suddenly, France was discovering the beauty of human life, however fragile. Mélanie’s communicative enthusiasm has certainly changed the way many French people regard “trisomy,” as it’s called here.

In France, the “medical abortion” of babies with Down syndrome is legal beyond the normal deadline for elective abortion – 12 weeks’ gestation – right up to term. Screening for Down syndrome is all but compulsory. That includes routine sonograms, and 100 percent refunded blood screens for all women, followed by amniocentesis (a dangerous procedure for the child that involves an invasive procedure to obtain liquid from the amniotic sac with a large needle, with between one and two miscarriages for every 100 tests) when the blood screen reads positive.

Of every unborn baby diagnosed with Down syndrome, 96 percent are aborted. Their mothers being put under tremendous pressure to do so by the medical profession, not least because lawsuits have been won by parents angry to have given birth to a handicapped child whose illness had not been diagnosed.

And things are about to get worse. A new, cheaper and non-invasive prenatal test is set to be approved by the social security scheme, with full public funding: a simple blood test that allows the diagnosis of many genetic abnormalities in the fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation. Once that is integrated into the public health insurance system, it is “hoped” 100 percent of all Down syndrome babies will be identified before birth and aborted at an early stage.

This gives Mélanie’s initiative, and the very positive reactions to it, a sour-sweet taste.

Strangely enough, the event was welcomed by a member of the government media watchdog, the Conseil supérieur de l’audiovisuel (CSA), Mémona Hintermann.

“These iconic, off-the-chart events, allow opinions to change. Melanie Ségard has opened a door. She has the courage to say: I’m not like you – so what?” she commented.

That same CSA barred a video co-produced by the French Fondation Jérôme-Lejeune showing children and young people with Down’s syndrome under a positive light. Dear Future Mom was censured for French television on the grounds that it could “disturb” women who might have decided or wanted to decide not to keep their unborn child with because it had that condition. Last November, the supreme administrative court, the Conseil d’Etat, judged that the CSA had acted correctly in forbidding the film to be broadcast.

People with Down’s syndrome are mentally handicapped. But those who think they’re better off dead have neither rhyme nor reason.

In the house removals and clearance business, the service provider should be able to provide quality services to the satisfaction of its clients. Satisfying clients involves going the extra mile to do even the unexpected to satisfy personalized client needs. A removal firm as a service provider should be able to deliver professional and satisfactory services that it has been contracted for.
Would you like to see what we're up to remotely?
The removal firm however operates in a unique service industry that requires a certain level of trust, because the delivery of their services necessitate that they handle personal and household items of their various customers. Some clients would like to keep an eye and supervise what is being done in their houses or apartments especially if they cannot be physically present. When the movers are left alone we wanted to give our clients a little peace of mind and that is the reason behind the proposed introduction of our house removal web cams.
Why do we offer this facility?
When fully operational, our house removal web cams will allow clients to see what takes place at their homes or offices in real time. This affords busy people who cannot be around when removal personnel are at work an opportunity to still be able to keep an eye on the firms progress. This innovative introduction is intended to assuage worried clients and show the service provider’s transparency and commitment to please the clients.
We undertake our 8-in-1-service in all areas within Manchester, Yorkshire and Humberside.
How not to get ripped of?
Our house removal web cams will be fitted on vans and in places where the client will be able to see us in action; you will get an insight into just what goes on with a house move or clearance! You can keep an eye on us. This idea is also great for clients who prefer to be billed by the hour as they will be able to always ascertain that the hours they pay for are used as intended.
The planned introduction of these high tech house removal web cams is an initiative of Phoenix in their bid to continue to set the standard in professional removal services. Phoenix is a professional firm that offers a wide range of comprehensive removals, clearance and cleaning services. With its impressive list of happy clients (including some interesting personalities) and its wide reach of operations, Phoenix has carved a niche for itself as the number one choice for removals, house clearances, cleaning and related services.

AIESEC places students in international internships
Students with wanderlust should go to the mezzanine of the Hall Building today, and look at a display called The Global Village.
Robert Kim, a member of the sponsoring group, AIESEC, explains that the title is an acronym for Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales. However, the full title is no longer used, because the membership, academic disciplines and activities have broadened.
The tables on the mezzanine are intended to display the cultures of the four main regions of the world, Europe, Africa and South America, and to promote AIESEC’s International Internship Exchange Program.
“Each booth will have information pertaining to AIESEC’s international network and opportunities, i.e. traineeships in other countries, demanding positions to build up professional skills,” Kim said.
AIESEC claims to place 5,000 young people every year in positions lasting up to 18 months in business, public service or civil society. Kim added, “To enrich that experience further we create opportunities for them to interact with their local environment and its challenges, supported by the members of each of our local offices.”
If you missed the Global Village display and want to know more, contact the AIESEC office at Concordia, at 848-2424, ext. 7435.

76 Cal.App.3d 286 (1977)
142 Cal. Rptr. 789
ALLAN C. REES, Plaintiff and Appellant,
v.
DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE, Defendant and Respondent.
Docket No. 39546.
Court of Appeals of California, First District, Division One.
December 29, 1977.
*289 COUNSEL
Frederick W. Bray for Plaintiff and Appellant.
Evelle J. Younger, Attorney General, and Robert E. Murphy, Deputy Attorney General, for Defendant and Respondent.
OPINION
RACANELLI, P.J.
Appellant appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying his petition for a writ of mandate directing respondent to set aside and vacate its order that appellant desist and refrain from performing certain activities[1] without first obtaining a real estate license. The issues framed by the pleadings were tried below upon the administrative record and the briefs filed by the parties. Following the hearing the trial court rendered its findings of fact and conclusions of law, reproduced in pertinent part in the margin.[2] Appellant neither objected to the proposed findings nor submitted counterfindings.
*290 Appellant's contentions present questions concerning (1) the sufficiency and propriety of the findings; and (2) whether the real estate licensing statutes and regulations may be validly applied to appellant's business activities.

I
(1a) Appellant initially complains that the trial court failed to exercise its independent judgment in making necessary findings and conclusions on the material issues presented. In essence, he contends that the similarity between the findings of the court and those upon which respondent based its administrative decision suggests an absence of *291 independent exercise of judicial discretion. Such complaint is groundless.
As previously stated, the record does not indicate that appellant either objected to the findings, proposed counterfindings and conclusions, or otherwise manifested that an "omission, ambiguity or conflict [in the findings] was brought to the attention of the trial court...." (Code Civ. Proc., § 634.) Under such circumstances, a reviewing court must assume the existence of any findings and conclusions favorable to respondent in support of the judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., § 634; In re Marriage of Dawley (1976) 17 Cal.3d 342, 354 [131 Cal. Rptr. 3, 551 P.2d 323]; Banville v. Schmidt (1974) 37 Cal. App.3d 92, 102 [112 Cal. Rptr. 126]; Associated Creditors' Agency v. Dunning Floor Covering, Inc. (1968) 265 Cal. App.2d 558, 559 [71 Cal. Rptr. 494]; Meacham v. Meacham (1968) 262 Cal. App.2d 248, 253 [68 Cal. Rptr. 746].)
(2) In interpreting the language of Code of Civil Procedure section 634, it has been held that a failure to file objections or counterfindings, or to request special findings as therein provided, constitutes a waiver of any claim that such findings are not sufficiently specific. (Shanahan v. Macco Constr. Co. (1964) 224 Cal. App.2d 327, 333 [36 Cal. Rptr. 584].) Appellant's companion claim of error in the court's failure to specifically find whether respondent exceeded its jurisdiction in not proceeding in the manner required by law, and whether the administrative decision was supported by the findings and evidence, actually relate to conclusions of law rather than factual determinations. (3) The conclusions of law, in and of themselves, are of no legal consequence and "despite their mention in C.C.P. 632, ... are a relatively useless appendage. The important conclusion of law is the judgment. If the findings support the judgment [as here] it will be affirmed, regardless of whether the findings support the conclusions, or whether the conclusions of law are consistent or properly stated, or even if the conclusions are omitted entirely." (4 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (2d ed. 1971) Trial, § 304, p. 3113; see also Estate of Grimble (1974) 42 Cal. App.3d 741, 750 [117 Cal. Rptr. 125], citing the text.)
(1b) Assuming, arguendo, that the proper standard of review of the evidence required the application of the independent judgment test (see Bixby v. Pierno (1971) 4 Cal.3d 130 [93 Cal. Rptr. 234, 481 P.2d 242]; *292 Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5, subd. (c)), the record clearly demonstrates that the trial court "exercised its independent judgment on the evidence" in reaching its decision. Appellant's implied assertion, without supporting authority, that the superficial similarity between the judicial and administrative findings somehow casts doubt upon the validity of the former is specious and without merit.
Appellant's remaining claim of insufficiency of the evidence regarding application of the licensing statutes and regulations to his activities is discussed hereafter.

II
Appellant argues that respondent has no jurisdiction to regulate the business activities in question. This argument is broadly premised on three theories: (1) that the provisions of the California Real Estate Law[3] are inapplicable in the absence of substantial evidence supporting a factual determination of the requisite licensee status; (2) his acts fall within the "finder's" exception to the licensing requirements; (3) the licensing statutes, as applied, are unconstitutionally overbroad.

Licensee Status
(4) Appellant challenges the findings and conclusions of the court that his activities are circumscribed by the licensing statutes and regulations governing real estate licensees (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 10130-10132[4]) and "advance fee" rental agents (Cal. Admin. Code, tit. *293 10, art. 17, § 2850[5]). He argues that these provisions apply only to conduct of licensed brokers or salesmen (it was stipulated that appellant was not so licensed) and that there was no evidence he acted in the capacity of a licensee. Neither argument is supported in reason or the record.
The evidence considered below discloses that appellant owns and operates a property rental data service initially under the name of "Rental Data Systems" and thereafter as "Consumer Data Systems" (CDS) providing rental information to prospective tenants. The service consists of a printed pamphlet furnished to subscribers upon payment in advance of a $15 fee, containing descriptions and terms of available rentals; the "availability list" or pamphlet is produced in a typical classified-advertisement format and lists the address of the rental and telephone number of the advertiser. Appellant provides his advertising service to rental advertisers free of charge; his major source of advertisers consists of landlords or agents familiar with his "free advertising" service, and other listings obtained through direct solicitation of advertisers culled from the classified section of local newspapers of general circulation. Appellant solicits potential subscribers to his service by publishing many of his advertisers' rentals in such newspapers, generally describing the rental unit and cost but without identifying data. These "ads" are internally coded and provide appellant's business address and telephone number, e.g., finding number 1. (Fn. 2, ante.) Prospective tenants inquiring about advertised rentals are informed that the listed rentals are currently available and, upon advance payment of the subscription fee, are furnished a copy of a completed pamphlet containing the address and telephone number for each described rental. The subscription includes the privilege to "call-in" daily for a period of 30 days to receive up-dated matching rental information;[6] the call-in service was renewable for an additional 30 days at the rate of $5 per renewal. The subscription fee was not automatically refunded in the *294 event a rental was not obtained by the subscriber. While CDS did not directly participate in rental negotiations between an advertiser and prospective tenant, CDS would routinely solicit information relating to specific lease terms and conditions and would frequently inquire of both advertiser and subscriber whether they would negotiate certain terms (mainly allowance of pets and children); occasionally, it would offer opinions concerning average rental prices in a given area.
The record amply supports the court's findings that appellant, without being validly licensed, solicited listings of nonowned rentals and prospective tenants for "a compensation or in expectation of a compensation." (§ 10131.)
In a factually similar case interpreting an earlier version of section 10131, where the licensee urged a similar defense of being engaged solely in the sale of information (lists of names and descriptions of available rentals), it was held that such conduct constituted the placing of real estate for rent within the meaning of the licensing statute. (Dyer v. Watson (1953) 121 Cal. App.2d 84, 88-89 [262 P.2d 873].)
Additionally, the record demonstrates that appellant was regularly engaged in the business of furnishing rental information to prospective tenants for a $15 nonrefundable advance fee, conduct constituting regulable activities as an "Advance fee rental agent" within the meaning of section 2850 of the Administrative Code. The trial court's findings, supported by substantial evidence, as here, may not be disturbed on appeal. (Green Trees Enterprises, Inc. v. Palm Springs Alpine Estates, Inc. (1967) 66 Cal.2d 782, 784 [59 Cal. Rptr. 141, 427 P.2d 805].)
Appellant's claim that the subject licensing statutes and regulations cannot apply by reason of his nonlicensed status is illusory. A similar claim was made and rejected in People ex rel. Savage v. L.A. Trust Deed etc. Exchange (1961) 190 Cal. App.2d 66, 74 [12 Cal. Rptr. 144], where the court stated: "As to the status of appellant salesmen, it was contended below ... that by legal definition a real estate salesman is one who works for a licensed real estate broker (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 10132.1); therefore, since Exchange was not licensed, its salesmen could not be real estate salesmen. The point is a tenuous one and is answered by the equitable maxim, `That which ought to have been done is to be regarded as done ...' (Civ. Code, § 3529). Appellant salesmen were performing acts defined as duties of real estate salesmen [citation]; they were properly so regarded, and enjoined, by the trial court." Since the *295 business activities of appellant required a valid real estate license, his claim of immunity in having failed to be so licensed is hardly persuasive. Such unlicensed activities were in direct violation of section 10130 and subject to restraint by administrative action of respondent agency. (See § 10086.)

Finder's Exception
(5) Appellant next contends, relying upon Tyrone v. Kelley (1973) 9 Cal.3d 1 [106 Cal. Rptr. 761, 507 P.2d 65], that his activities fall within the long established "finder's" exception to the licensing laws. That doctrine, first announced in Shaffer v. Beinhorn (1923) 190 Cal. 569, 573-574 [213 P. 960], holds that where one simply acts as an intermediary or middleman in finding and introducing two parties to a real estate transaction, he merely acts as a finder and not as a broker within the meaning of the real estate licensing laws. (Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, at p. 12.) This contention is likewise unpersuasive.
Before the finder's exception may apply, it must appear that the "activity is limited to arranging an introduction [between the parties] ..." (Spielberg v. Granz (1960) 185 Cal. App.2d 283, 290-291 [8 Cal. Rptr. 190]), and the services performed in bringing the parties together cannot involve any role "`in negotiating the price or any of the other terms of the transaction....'" (Evans v. Riverside Internat. Raceway (1965) 237 Cal. App.2d 666, 676 [47 Cal. Rptr. 187].) If the broker takes any part in the negotiations, no matter how slight, he is not a middleman but a broker. (Rhode v. Bartholomew, 94 Cal. App.2d 272, 280 [210 P.2d 768].)
Appellant steadfastly maintains his activity is simply that of a publisher of a "specialized consumer information medium." But appellant's legal status is not to be determined by a mere labelling process. As explained in Batson v. Strehlow (1968) 68 Cal.2d 662, 670 [68 Cal. Rptr. 589, 441 P.2d 101]: "In scrutinizing the record, we assess his function in the transaction by the role he played as well as by his description in the cast; we consider what he did, as well as what he was called."
Clearly, CDS engaged in activity beyond merely introducing landlords and tenants. It actively solicited some of its advertising landlords and most of its subscriber-renters. The listings compiled in its pamphlet provided additional data concerning the date the rental was available, the nature and terms of the leasehold, description of eligible tenants, and whether certain terms were negotiable. For an additional fee, it provided *296 updated rental information suitable to the prospective tenant's requirements. In addition, CDS volunteered advice to landlord and prospective tenant alike concerning average rental prices each could reasonably expect to charge or pay. Manifestly, CDS routinely engaged in a number of related business activities beyond merely locating, finding and introducing the parties, and  at times  played a direct role in negotiations between the principals. (See Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, 9 Cal.3d 1, 12; see also 1 Witkin, Summary of Cal. Law (8th ed.) § 238, p. 824.) The record supports the implied finding that appellant's activities did not fall within the finder's exception.
Further respondent contends that the finder's exception cannot be invoked on the facts shown, having been effectively eliminated through legislative enactments (Stats. 1965, ch. 172, operative Jan. 2, 1966). By amending the statute defining real estate brokers to include solicitations for rentals or prospective tenants (see italicized part of § 10131, subd. (b), fn. 4, ante), it is argued, the Legislature expressly intended to regulate business activities involving compensable solicitations of prospective tenants as well as rental listings. Neither party has cited, nor have we found, any authority interpreting the added classification. (6) The legislative history,[7] while sparse, clarifies that the furnishing of lists of rental vacancies to prospective tenants for compensation is an act for which a real estate license is required. (See Review of Selected 1965 Code Legislation (Cont.Ed.Bar) p. 14.)
Appellant counters, citing Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, that the interpretation of the term "solicits" within the context of subdivision (d) of section 10131[8] as not being intended to eliminate the finder's exception applies with analogous force to the same term as used in subdivision (b). Appellant misconstrues the holding in Tyrone. In discussing the legislative purpose of the 1959 amendments, the Supreme Court stated: "In one sense of the quoted word all finders must solicit a prospective borrower or lender.... To hold that any act of solicitation of a borrower or lender would preclude a determination that a person was a finder would in effect eliminate the finder's exception to the licensing law. [¶] It *297 is clear that the Legislature did not intend by the 1959 amendment to section 10131 to eliminate entirely the finder's exception but rather intended to limit it in one respect not relevant here. The ... amendment ... was made by ... chapter 2117 of the 1959 statutes. Section 14 of that chapter makes clear that the purpose of the enactment ... was the licensing of `advance fee' operators who had `sought to shield their activities under the guise of operating as mere finders or locators....' The legislative statement of purpose in the section shows that the Legislature did not intend a departure from established principles relating to brokers and finders except as to the `advance fee' operators, and the reference in the section to `finders' reflects a legislative recognition that the finder's exception to the licensing law was recognized and continued with the exception of the `advance fee' operators." (Italics added.) (Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, 9 Cal.3d 1, 9; see also fn. 6, pp. 9-10.)
In concluding that the legislative purpose was directed to the then rampant abuses of the "advance fee" operator, the court expressly acknowledged the limitation placed upon the finder's exception in that particular activity. (See § 10026 defining "advance fee" transactions.) (7) However, the court was not concerned with nor did it consider the intent or effect of the 1965 amendments to subdivision (b). In enacting the several amendments, the Legislature plainly expressed its intent to specifically regulate certain activities including the active solicitation of rental listings or prospective tenants in expectation of compensation. By so providing, the Legislature specifically excluded those activities from nonlicensed status and to that extent effectively terminated the finder's exception. (See Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, 9 Cal.3d 1, 12.) To hold otherwise would frustrate the clear legislative purpose and "strip the statute of much of the protection of the public interest it was designed to provide." (Wickersham v. Harris (10th Cir.1963) 313 F.2d 468, 472; 5 U.C.Davis L.Rev. 154.)
(8) Moreover, as found by the court below, appellant's activities in furnishing rental information to a prospective tenant for a fee payable in advance of services, falls within the separate licensee classification of "advance fee rental agent" as defined in section 2850, subdivision (a),[9] title 10 of the California Administrative Code (fn. 6, ante). Given the *298 legislative history concerning past abuses associated with advance fee operators (Tyrone v. Kelley, supra, 9 Cal.3d 1, 9-10, fn. 6), it seems equally clear that the intendment of the regulation was to specifically supervise advance fee rental commerce in order to protect the public from similar reprehensible practices of unlicensed operators that once plagued the real estate lenders' and sellers' market.

Constitutionality
(9) Finally, chiefly in reliance on the early holding of Whitcomb v. Emerson (1941) 46 Cal. App.2d 263 [115 P.2d 892], appellant contends that the licensing statutes as applied to his activities are overbroad and violate the Fifth[10] and Fourteenth Amendments to the federal Constitution. While conceding the validity of the licensing statutes, he argues there is no reasonable relationship between the skills required in the conduct of his business and those subject to regulation under the real estate licensing laws. Focusing upon certain statutory qualifications[11] for a real estate license, he argues that to impose such irrelevant requirements upon him is arbitrary and unduly burdensome and tantamount to an unlawful taking of his property without due process and a denial of equal protection of the law. For reasons we explain, this claim is unsound.
Whitcomb (decided over three decades ago), in somewhat colorful prose found constitutional infirmity in a statute requiring a face masseuse to obtain a license in cosmetology. That holding was appropriately characterized in Varanelli v. Structural Pest Control Board (1969) 1 Cal. App.3d 217 [81 Cal. Rptr. 492], as a product of an "era less receptive to economic legislation." (Id. at p. 222.)
In Naismith Dental Corp. v. Board of Dental Examiners (1977) 68 Cal. App.3d 253 [137 Cal. Rptr. 133], involving a similar "due process" challenge, we pointed out that "In determining whether legislation is violative of due process, courts `exercise an extraordinary power over a coordinate branch of government and perform a correspondingly narrow *299 function: we simply determine whether the statute reasonably relates to a legitimate governmental purpose.' [Citation.] `The doctrine ...  that due process authorizes courts to hold laws unconstitutional when they believe the legislature has acted unwisely  has long since been discarded.' [Citation.] Before a court may declare an act of the Legislature invalid because of due process or other constitutional conflict, `such conflict must be clear, positive, and unquestionable.' [Citation.]" (At p. 259.)
Moreover, "The current doctrine of judicial review of the reasonableness of regulatory legislation is that judicial examination of a statute under economic due process attack is completed when any fact or facts appear, or may be hypothesized, which the Legislature might rationally have accepted as the basis for a finding of public interest." (Varanelli v. Structural Pest Control Board, supra, 1 Cal. App.3d 217, 222.)
Herein, we may logically infer a legitimate public purpose that those engaged in the business of soliciting the general public as prospective tenants in anticipation of a compensation be required to meet minimum licensing requirements in order to regulate such conduct. The subject licensing scheme may be rationally hypothesized as an effort to protect prospective renters of real property from the actions of unprincipled or unqualified individuals. Similarly, the legislative history concerning "advance fee" activities in general evidences a valid legislative purpose, as interpreted by the administrative agency charged with enforcement of the licensing statutes in adopting section 2850 of the California Administrative Code, to oversee and regulate conduct involving the furnishing of rental information to prospective tenants upon payment of a nonrefundable advance fee. Accordingly, we do not find any due process violation by reason of the legislative amendments or the administrative regulations adopted to implement such purposes. Appellant has failed to sustain his burden of establishing an absence of a valid public purpose in the questioned enactments. (See Naismith Dental Corp. v. Board of Dental Examiners, supra, 68 Cal. App.3d 253, 260.)
(10) Nor can it be successfully argued that the licensing statutes, as applied, deprive appellant of equal protection under the law. Although appellant argues, without benefit of authority, that "no compelling state interest" appears justifying application of the statutes to his business activities, it is settled that a "cognizable `fundamental interest' in the right to pursue employment ... is clearly limited in scope to `the common occupations of the community' and should not be applied to *300 professions whose technical complexity and intimate relationship to the public interest and welfare counsel greater deference to the legislative judgment." (D'Amico v. Board of Medical Examiners, 11 Cal.3d 1, 18 [112 Cal. Rptr. 786, 520 P.2d 10].)
In commenting upon the test of rational relationship applicable to economic legislation, the D'Amico court stated: "The first [test] is the basic and conventional standard for reviewing economic and social welfare legislation in which there is a `discrimination' or differentiation of treatment between classes or individuals. It manifests restraint by the judiciary in relation to the discretionary act of a co-equal branch of government; in so doing it invests legislation involving such differentiated treatment with a presumption of constitutionality and `requir[es] merely that distinctions drawn by a challenged statute bear some rational relationship to a conceivable legitimate state purpose.' (Westbrook v. Mihaly (1970) 2 Cal.3d 765, 784 [87 Cal. Rptr. 839, 471 P.2d 487].) `So long as such a classification "does not permit one to exercise the privilege while refusing it to another of like qualifications, under like conditions and circumstances, it is unobjectionable upon this ground." [Citations.]' (Whittaker v. Superior Court (1968) 68 Cal.2d 357, 367-368 [66 Cal. Rptr. 710, 438 P.2d 358].) Moreover, the burden of demonstrating the invalidity of a classification under this standard rests squarely upon the party who assails it. [Citations.]
".... .... .... .... ...
"The conventional `rational relationship' test is traditionally applied in cases involving occupational licensing, ..." (11 Cal.3d at pp. 16-17.)
Under the conceptualized standards of a legitimate state purpose previously discussed in the context of due process sufficiency, we conclude that the distinctions provided in the challenged statute and implementing regulations bear a rational relationship to that purpose. (D'Amico v. Board of Medical Examiners, supra, 11 Cal.3d 1, 18; Varanelli v. Structural Pest Control Board, supra, 1 Cal. App.3d 217, 222-224; Naismith Dental Corp. v. Board of Dental Examiners, supra, 68 Cal. App.3d 253, 262.)
Appellant's remaining assertion that his activities are protected under the First Amendment of the federal Constitution, is neither argued in his brief nor supported by citation of authority. Under such circumstances, we treat the matter as being waived. (6 Witkin, Cal. Procedure (2d ed. *301 1971) Appeal, § 425, p. 4391.) In any event, "Reasonable business regulations are valid even though elements of public expression are involved." (Varanelli v. Structural Pest Control Board, supra, 1 Cal. App.3d 217, 225.)
The judgment is affirmed.
Elkington, J., and Broussard, J.,[*] concurred.
NOTES
[1]  The order issued by respondent (under authority of Bus. & Prof. Code, § 10086) provides, in substance, that appellant desist and refrain from: (1) using, publishing, circulating or distributing any materials for the purpose of soliciting for prospective tenants; and (2) furnishing rental information to prospective tenants where they are obligated to pay a fee in advance of services whether or not a rental is obtained through such services, without first obtaining a real estate license from respondent.
[2]  OF FACT
"I
"Since on and before August 21, 1974, Respondent [Rees], his agents and his employees have engaged in the business of soliciting for prospective tenants of real property under the fictitious name and style, `Rental Data Systems' and `Consumer Data Systems'. On August 21, 1974, in said capacity of soliciting for prospective tenants of real property, Respondent caused to be published and printed in a newspaper known as El Cerrito Journal, El Cerrito, California, the following classified advertisements:
"(a) `Older 4-plex, 1 bedroom, $145, Garden 548-8999. $15. RENTAL DATA SYSTEM. 247'
"(b) `$300. 2-PLUS bedroom house, Rockridge. 548-8999. $15. RENTAL DATA SYSTEM. 462.'
"(c) `$200. 3-PLUS bedroom house, skylights. 548-8999. $15. RENTAL DATA SYSTEM'
"(d) `$275. 2-PLUS bedroom house, garage. 548-8999 $15. RENTAL DATA SYSTEM. 365'
"(e) `SPRUCE, $100, small studio, flat. 548-8999. $15. RENTAL DATA SYSTEM. 404' Respondent was not the owner of the real property described in said advertisements at the time said advertisements were caused to be published and printed in the aforementioned El Cerrito Journal. Respondent caused said advertisements to be published and printed in expectation of the receipt of compensation for furnishing said rental information concerning said real property to prospective tenants.
"II
"On October 9, 1974, Respondent's agents and employees entered into a written contract with Steven Thomas, hereinafter referred to as Thomas, a Deputy Real Estate Commissioner of the State of California, to furnish rental information to Thomas for a Fifteen Dollar ($15) fee, which sum Thomas was obligated to pay in advance of receiving said rental information. On October 9, 1974, Respondent's agents and employees collected said Fifteen Dollar ($15) fee from Thomas. Thereafter, Respondent's agents and employees furnished rental information to Thomas....
"CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
"Pursuant to the foregoing Findings of Fact the following Conclusions of Law are now made:
"I
"Respondent has engaged in the business and acted in the capacity of a real estate licensee within the State of California pursuant to sections 10131(b) and 10132 of the California Business and Professions Code and section 2850, Article 17, Title 10 of the California Administrative Code.
"II
"Respondent has been in violation of section 10130 of the California Business and Professions Code and accordingly grounds for issuance of a desist and refrain order thereby exists pursuant to section 10086 of the Business and Professions Code...."
[3]  Division 4, part 1, chapters 1-3 of the Business and Professions Code, section 10000 et seq.; title 10, California Administrative Code, article 17, sections 2850-2856.
[4]  All references to code sections are to the Business and Professions Code unless otherwise designated. The referenced sections provide in relevant part as follows: Section 10130, "It is unlawful for any person to engage in the business, act in the capacity of, advertise or assume to act as a real estate broker or a real estate salesman within this state without first obtaining a real estate license from the department...."

Section 10131: "A real estate broker within the meaning of this part is a person who, for a compensation or in expectation of a compensation, does or negotiates to do one or more of the following acts for another or others: ... (b) Leases or rents or offers to lease or rent, or places for rent, or solicits listings of places for rent, or solicits for prospective tenants, ..." (Italics added.)
Section 10132 defines a real estate salesman as a "natural person who, for a compensation or in expectation of a compensation, is employed by a licensed real estate broker to do one or more of the acts set forth in Sections 10131 [and other sections not here involved]."
[5]  Section 2850 defines advance fee rental agents as follows: "An `advance fee rental agent' is: (a) a real estate licensee who negotiates rentals or furnishes rental information to prospective tenants whereby they are obligated to pay a fee in advance of services whether or not a rental is obtained through such services, (b) a real estate licensee who solicits or obtains rental listings from landlords or managers in expectation of compensation by including them in advance fee rental listings to be supplied prospective tenants."
[6]  Each subscriber received an identifying number at the time of subscription coded to his individual rental criteria; upon calling in and giving his identifying number, the subscriber was furnished with new or additional listings matching his criteria.
[7]  Senate Bill No. 269, the enabling legislation, also amended a number of code sections merging business opportunity licenses with real estate licenses for purposes of uniform regulation and enforcement (notably §§ 10026, 10027, 10131.2, 10176 and 10177). Section 10146 was added imposing trust fund deposit and accounting requirements for advance fee collections.
[8]  Subdivision (d), as amended in 1959, added to the definitions of real estate broker "a person who, for a compensation ... (d) Solicits borrowers or lenders...."
[9]  Sections 2850 through 2856 of the Administrative Code, pertaining to advance fee rental agents' transactions, were promulgated by the Commissioner of Real Estate under the authority of section 10080 as reasonably necessary for the enforcement of the provisions of the licensing statutes.
[10]  In his brief appellant refers interchangeably to constitutional "due process" and due process guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. Since the challenge is directed to discriminatory state action, we construe the argument within the context of the Fourteenth Amendment.
[11]  Section 10153 generally requires an applicant to demonstrate an understanding of real estate principles and conveyancing, familiarity with the nature of agency relationships, and have completed accredited course units in legal aspects of real estate and practice, economics or accounting or their equivalent.

A very personal account of one family and its links across two continents and three generations, despite political divides.
In Capitalist Drive, award-winning filmmaker Barbara Chobocky turns the camera on her own extended family to discover how ordinary people cope with social and personal upheaval. For 40 years, the conflict between capitalism and communism separated her parents and their children in Australia from relatives in Prague. Yet there are fascinating parallels between the challenges facing her enterprising cousins as they negotiate the first years of free-market democracy in the Czech Republic and the experiences of her father as a post-World War Two migrant to what he called “the wild west”.
Capitalist Drive looks at life in the aftermath of the historic changes that shook Europe in the 1940s and in 1989, and the struggles involved in starting afresh - no matter where you are. It uncovers stories of love and loss, dreams and disappointments, including a father’s drive to succeed and the impact it had on those around him. And as we get to know these characters and their pasts, we discover shared passions and ambitions, including a rather eccentric attachment to cars.

So, I'm deciding to start a blog. Everyone rejoice! Just kidding. Seriously though, I've been wanting to start a blog for a while Just never got around to it. I am starting it now because I am planning on releasing the results of The Media Machine's Most Popular Movie Survey in the near future. I thought it would be easier to do it on a blog than just posting them one by one on Facebook. This blog will not just be dealing with Media Machine news, but I will probably cover a lot of different things. Just read the description of the blog and you will get it. My first blog, though, will deal with Media Machine news and the survey we held. I am not going to release the results for which movies were picked yet. I will do that at a later date. However, I did want to release some tidbits of information from the survey. One of the things I have done is I have marked down the directors of each movie that has been chosen. So far there have been over 300 movies chosen by and there have been a number of directors. Here is the list of the top 20 directors that appear on this survey. This list shows the directors who have the most movies that have been selected by voters. By the way, it looks like it is safe to say that the director who is holding the top spot right now will probably stay at number one once the voting stops. So, I'm giving you some of the directors and I now I want to see if you can guess which films of theirs appear on the list. Some might be easy to guess.
In case you have not done our survey of the Most Popular Movie, then you should follow this link below and fill it out. Just give us your name and your top ten favorite movies of all time. If you cannot do that then just list ten movies you love.


At less than $11 per utility this bundled product with 5 TweakFS tools for FSX represents very good value if you are after the full suite.
FIRST-TIME BUYERS: Full product, no prior registration required.
EXISTING CUSTOMERS: Have you already purchased any FSX products before this bundle was released, but you wish to have the full set of 5 utilities? Please CONTACT US and simply quote your TweakFS Store Order No. or PayPal Payment Invoice ID. We will look you up in our database and calculate a special discount for you which credits you for your previous purchases.
PCPilot reviewed TweakFPS (included in this bundle) in issue No. 30, pages 26-27. If you have a fast connection click on the icon to the left to load the PDF file into your browser, otherwise right-click it and select "Save Taget As..." to download it.
In response to positive customer feedback TweakFS is making available yet another discounted purchase option with this bundled set of five TweakFS utilities by applying a 37% discount over the normal price of purchasing all the utilities separately.
As a group these five unique applications each have a different scope and purpose, but come with a consistent look and feel. Between them they can handle well over 1000 settings and variables in FSX. They make fine-tuning your fsx.CFG, Aircraft.CFG and FLT (saved flight) files a breeze, providing functionality, speed and ease of use that goes well beyond what can be done by manually editing the files.
All the tools are designed with one important principle in mind - a one-click “restore from backup” function. This means an adjustment can be applied with complete impunity and there is always the “bailout” option if there are any “funnies”, the one justifiable concern that holds many back from making changes to their FS setup.


I have been trying to determine how late into the War the Army Air Force used the SBD Dauntless. I recall reading somewhere that in early 1945 only Marine Aviation units were still using them, but I haven't been able to find that source again. That is why I am putting the question to you folks:

How late into WW2 did the various US military branches (AAF, Marines, Navy) use the Dauntless for combat missions? Keep in mind that I am interested in the PTO, not the ETO even though that would also be interesting to know.

Freedom is precious and many gave their lives for it. It is the duty of the future generation
to remember that sacrifice, and offer some sacrifice for themselves if Freedom is threatened.Cecil Earl Workman, WWII Veteran, "L" Co., 129th Inf. Regt., 37th Inf. Div.

I could be wrong but I believe the Army Air Force was not a big supporter of the dive bomber. If they possessed them, I have not read where they were used in the war. As the war progressed, they turned to the fighter bomber (P-47) but left the bombing to the level bombers.

The United States Army Air Forces sent 52 A-24 Banshees in crates to the Philippine Islands in fall 1941 to equip the 27th Bombardment Group, whose personnel arrived separately. However with the early December attack on Pearl Harbor, these aircraft were diverted to Australia and the 27th BG fought on Bataan as infantry. While in Australia, these aircraft were reassembled for flight to the Philippines, but missing parts including solenoids, trigger motors, and gun mounts delayed shipment. Plagued with mechanical problems the A-24s were diverted to the 91st Bombardment Squadron and designated for assignment to Java instead. Referring to themselves as "Blue Rock Clay Pigeons", the 91st attacked the enemy harbor and airbase at Bali and damaged or sank numerous ships around Java[citation needed]. After the Japanese shot down two A-24s and damaged three so badly they could no longer fly, the 91st received orders to evacuate Java in early March, ending a brief but valiant effort.The Banshees left in Australia were assigned to the 8th Bombardment Squadron of 3d Bombardment Group, to defend New Guinea. On 26 July 1942, seven A-24s attacked a convoy off Buna, but only one survived: the Japanese shot down five of them and damaged the sixth so badly that it did not make it back to base. Regarded by many pilots as too slow, too short-ranged and too poorly armed, the remaining A-24s were relegated to non-combat missions. In the U.S., the A-24s became training aircraft or towed targets for aerial gunnery training. The more powerful A-24B was used later against the Japanese forces in the Gilbert Islands.[2] (http://en.wikipedia....Army_Air_Forces)[/qoute]

Thanks for this posting - I wasn’t aware that any USAAF Aircraft, with US crews, were used in Java.The Army also took delivery of some Curtiss Helldivers, designated them A-25’s, but I don’t think any of them made it into combat.

And I finally remembered the reference I mentioned. Of course, it was on HyperWar:

Nevertheless, the dive bombers of the two Marine aircraft groups on Luzon performed creditably during the early phase of their employment on the island. The use of the Douglas Dauntless dive bombers by the Marines was unique in at least one respect, for the Marine squadrons were the only units still flying that type of aircraft during this phase of the war. The Army had discontinued use of dive bombers as early as 1942, and during the summer of 1944 the Navy had turned to more heavily armed and faster aircraft. Despite the valiant service the dive bomber had rendered for Marine aviation from Midway to Bougainville, due to the accuracy obtained with the aircraft in pinpointing targets, the SBD was rapidly becoming obsolete. This was due particularly to its limited combat radius of only 450 miles. The Luzon campaign was to become its swan song and the plane was scheduled for retirement at the end of the Philippines campaign. But Marine aviators in their outmoded aircraft were to have one more chance to show what they could do with the dive bombers in which they had so carefully trained in the Solomons. The opportunity was not long in coming.

An I-9 is an Employment Eligibility Verification form. Students will complete their portion of the I-9 form electronically; the link is emailed to students after the supervisor completes the electronic payroll authorization form (EPAF)Instruction Video: Completing an I-9

When international students receive their SSN, they will use this form to submit their social security number to the Registrar's Office. This must be done within 4 (four) weeks after applying for a social security card

Use to request that students work over the maximum for a limited period of time

Students holding F-1 or J-1 visas are permitted by law to work on campus a maximum of 20 hours per week while school is in session. Therefore, permission will not be granted to allow these students to work in excess of the maximum allowed by law.

This form is completed by supervisors when international students need a social security card, and in other special hiring circumstances.

The job offer letter is required by the Social Security Administration to apply for a SSN. Typically, this form is only used by departments when a student is NOT hired through the electronic payroll authorization form (EPAF) system, though there are a few exceptions (e.g.: TA/RA/GA students and ARC Supplemental Instructors).

Simple pull a piece of tape from the dispenser and stick it to the back the item you want to ‘magnetise’. The adhesive is re-useable so you can strip it back off and use it again. And the magnet can be stuck face to face - which means that you can stick a piece on the object you want to make into a fridge magnet - then put another length the same on a wall and place the product onto the magnetsic strip! So you can use it pretty much any where!
The magnetic tape dispenser contains 3 metres x 19mm wide magnetic tape with re-positionable adhesive on the back of the magnet.

What Is The Best Home Workout?
Home workouts can help you burn belly fat and increase lean muscle.
The best home workout is the one that gets you the best results. Whether you are trying to burn belly fat or increase lean muscle, the only way you can measure success is through what you see in the mirror.
Home workouts run the gamet between those that are self-designed, and proven programs such as the low cost Turbulence Training to the more sophisticated P90X Exercise Program.
The reason these two are so popular is because they are based mostly on body-weight exercises, and they have benefited 1000's of mean and women.
Truthfully, I cannot say what home workout is best.
The Internet is filled with a lot of programs that promise amazing results is almost no time, but they are nonsense.
The ones I recommend are ones I have used, and my friends have used (and still use) to get measurable results. You will burn belly fat and you will increase lean muscle mass.
Older (over 40) customers seem to gravitate toward Tom Venuto's Burn The Fat - Feed The Muscle.
It is good that you are taking your time in finding the one that is right for you.
