The Chinese are very superstitious when it comes to numbers, they choose telephone numbers, house number, business numbers, car number plates and anything that has numbers in very carefully.
Every month we get to visit many homes and businesses on consultations and it amazes us how far our clients take Feng Shui almost to paranoia, which is not good. If you have bad numbers do not worry about it, as I will show you how to eliminate the inauspicious effects.
A little story, to begin with, last Friday night I was parked outside the cinema waiting to pick up my two boys and as much as I hate to admit it I was listening to BBC Radio 4. I know you always think of the Archers or such like and this is what my Grandma used to listen too, they have some great debates on some nights.
Anyway, this program was about superstition, and one of the interviewers was saying how she was not superstitious but had spent the last 30 years saluting magpies or never walking under ladders or the cracks of pavements. Well, numbers and Feng Shui, are more superstitious Chinese folklore than anything else, do I take it seriously? Yes and no, if I found the perfect Feng Shui house with a good facing direction and it was good for my family but the house number was number 4, I would still buy it although I have to admit I would use the countermeasures listed below.
The main reason these numbers are considered unlucky is that the way the numbers sounds when spoken specially to the Cantonese. An example in western numbers would be the #11 could sound like heaven or #8 sounds like weight or #1 sounds like son, do you see what I mean? So if you have an unlucky #4 and you are from a country other than China. Think of #4 as sounding like “more” which is great.
Let’s say your house number is 2391; you would need to add all of the numbers up until they equal to a single number which in this case would equal to 6.
Let’s say your house number is 395; you would need to add all of the numbers up until they equal to a single number which in this case would equal to 8.
Let’s say your house number is 85 you would need to add all of the numbers up until they equal to a single number which in this case would equal to 4.
If your house number has a 4 in it, I would still suggest putting a circle around the number when it is displayed to weaken the effect.
Here is a general guide for each number and if it is good or bad.
If you own a home or business with a 4 or 13 is to draw a circle around the number, seriously it is that simple. The circle is extremely powerful and encloses the inauspicious effects of a negative number. So if you have a house number 4, a cheap way of curing is to go outside and draw a circle around your number or if you have time and money pop down to your local hardware store and find one of those ceramic door numbers that you can customise with a circle around the number, all this time you were worrying about nothing.
How seriously do we take numbers? I would be over the moon if we found the perfect house with great flying stars and it was #8 or 88, but I would not be put off buying it if it were #4 or 13, I would use the cure as above though or change it to a house name like “rose cottage” etc.
Michael has a car number plate with #88 in it; our fax number has three #8’s our telephone # has double nine, so yes we are superstitious a little but not paranoid about it and using the countermeasures above negate the problem, so please do not waste any energy worrying if your house number is 4 or 13, remember in many European countries #13 is very lucky and in Xuan Kong flying star #4 is a romance star. Also remember how far do you take it, both Michael and I were born in the forth month April, could this be bad? If you divide 8 by 2 it equals 4, you can play with numbers all you like and make them work good or bad.

Hi my house number is 7545 and unit 141 do i add all of these up?
You would add the numbers up separately.
What would be your 1st and 2nd choice?
I would go with either 906, 1806 or 2006.
In case if we go for apartment number 1706 (my partner prefers the layout) is there any way to transform it in to a better/good vibration?

My friend’s house number is 4344. according to the expression. it seems that 4 is unlucky numbers. How can she fix this issue? a circle above the address? any other token to be added to the house?

I calculated six numbers based on your Gua and they are 13-29-6-26-42 and 29.
I’m looking to buy a house, the number is 45. Is this an auspicious number? What does it mean?
The number 45 equals up to 9 which is a good number although the number 4 in your address is not an auspicious number so I would recommend displaying the number in an oval or round sign as shown on this page.
My house is lot 4 blk 14 is this bad?
I would display the number in an oval sign as shown above to neutralise the effects of this number.
Hi, my unit number is 04-08 how to cure it?

We’re thinking of purchasing a pre-owned house that is Blk.10 Lot13 (house #13). We really like the house. Should we go on buying it? Thank you.
It is very hard to advise on a house just by the number. I would display the house number in an oval sign as shown in this page as the two numbers equal up to 4.
For my inquiry. We are planning to purchase a condo unit with num 224 of Tower 3. Is this auspicious to us? My husbands bday is 9/20/74 with Kua num 8. Mine is 01/14/71.
I would recommend displaying the house number in an oval sign similar to the one on this page. Good luck in your new home!
Thank you for your reply, Daniel.
If I may ask for your help with another condo unit num 543. Will this be auspicious for us? We are as well considering this unit.
It is very hard to advise just on the number of the condo although the number 4 is in the number so I would display the unit number in an oval sign as shown on the page.
I’ve been seeing the numbers 8 88 and 888. What can this mean. I’ve been seeing this for 2 years now.
This could be a coincidence or. I find if I am looking at a certain car to buy, I tend to see them everywhere. On the plus side, it could mean good things!
If you are able to, I would display the lot number in an oval sign as shown on this page.
The lot number only? how about the blk?
The block number is not a problem.
I’m afraid I could not find your question; could you please resend it and I’ll get back to you.
I’ve copied the numbers below and if they are good or bad to help you decide your new house block and lot number.
I’m afraid it would require a great deal of work to find the perfect place. It involves looking through all of the floorplans, mapping out the flying stars and much more.
I would recommend going with the one that feels best to you; try to spend some time in each one and see how they feel.
May I ask what is my lucky direction and number to buy a condominium? I’am born on November 20,1966 morning. Thank you.

These would be two separate numbers and would not be anything to worry about.
Hi Daniel, I have a question. I know my sister was talking about th e number 4.my roommates boyfriend just bought a home with the number 34, and offered my roommate and I to rent. I know the 4 usually applies to buying a home, does it apply to renting a room since I don’t own the house. I really would like to save money and can’t necessary not consider it since I can’t afford to buy another place.She also brought up 3-4 like three deaths. It’s been on my mind on occasion.what do you think, is it really bad luck? If, I stay, anyways to prevent it the negativity? Since I’m renting, not too much I can do in the home.
I would not let it worry you too much; if you do move there, I would request that you can place an oval door number sign as shown on this page.
With situations like this, it is always good to weigh up the pros and cons.
Thanks for the reply. I can ask but if they say no..is it really bad?
It’s certainly not the end of the world but I would recommend placing it if you can.
I intend to change my mobile phone number the last one I have adds up to 31 which is 4 and it hasn’t been good for me at all.

I’ve copied the numbers below and if they are good or bad to help you decide your next number.
Buying a house we have a choice number 20 and 21 can you let me know which is a better number for fortune and health.

We are planning to get a home :#12-169. It adds up to a 19 which is karmic number? So a little worried. I am born on 31st and my husband is the 25th. Will it be ok?
This would add up to 1 as you add it up to a single number. The number 1 is a good number in numerology so I would not worry about this.

I would recommend displaying the house number in an oval or round sign, yes. You can usually buy them premade at hardware stores.

Hi! Is 22nd September 2018 lucky or unlucky day to get married? I`m born on 22nd June (life path no 8). Thank you!
If you can tell me your gender and year, I can check the date on the Tong Shu Almanac.
Yes, thank you! Here are more details: 1978, woman. He is February 9, 1974. Thank you very much!
Saturday 22nd September 2018 is not a good date for marriage, unfortunately.
The best thing you can do is try to start the ceremony between these dates as these are your auspicious times of day to help counteract the Almanac – 03:00 – 04:59, 11:00 – 12:59, 13:00 – 14:59, 15:00 – 20:59, 21:00 – 22:59.

Hi, is lot #17 house #9518 a good number?. Also, another question is you can see the fireplace from the maindoor, is it good or bad?. Thank you!.
The lot number adds to 8 which is good and house number adds to 5 which is fine.
I would try and break up the flow of energy by placing something between the door and fireplace if you can. If the fireplace is very close to the front door, this may not be a problem.
Hello.I take my personalised car number is 1260..is it good?
Your red number equals 9 which is very good in numerology.
Hello Daniel. Thk u.I want to ask you another question. I have another personalised car number is 603..perhaps later will take another number..between the 1603 and 1680.which is the best for abandance and everything?
I would go with 1603 as this equals to 1 which is a good number.
1680 equals up to 4 which is the most inauspicious number in numerology.
either of these two address have good numbers.
I would not personally pay attention to the letters.
You should do what feels right to you as you need to be comfortable although the letters do not fall into numerology in my opinion.
I would recommend block 7, lot 6 as the number 6 is good for numerology.
I hope this helps and good luck in your house search!

The best number plates out of this last are VBV 1611 or VBW 3268; if I had to pick one, I would go with VBV1611.
Good luck with your new car!
Thanks for your advise and guidance Daniel!!
My office unit number is 214, how can I make it nicer to bring more luck?

I am very much interested in a house and the number is 258. My mom said it means no fortune. But if we add the digits, it equals to 6. Please advise. Thank you so much for your time.
You always equal the number up to a single digit in numerology and 6 is a good number.
Your auspicious numbers for your date of birth are 10, 12, 23, 24, 35, 47. I would try and avoid 24 and 47 as 4 is an auspicious number. The best number would be 35 for you.
Hi I’m hoping you can help me please. I am thinking of moving into a number 35/8 house and I really like the energy of the place however I read that number 8 houses are not suitable for people born on the 13th and I’m born on the 13th of October. This has really threw me off and I’m paranoid now. Should I invest in a different property?
The number 8 is very good in Feng Shui so I would not worry about this. If you have a good feeling about the house, this is also very important.
Good luck in your new home if you decide to go for it!
Hi Daniel can you help me please I found a property that I really love and the energy of this house is perfect for me or so I thought until I read on a website that number 8 houses are not suitable for people born on the 13th which is my birthdate and the house is a number 35 can you give me any more insight into why it’s unlucky and can I change this?
Hi, Good day! We are planning to buy a new house. Please I need your advice, which is good? Block 4 Lot 13 or Block 4 Lot 15 or Block 4 Lot 5 or Block 4 Lot 6? Thank you..
I would go for any apart from block 4 lot 13.
That will be fine; just be sure to put a circle around the block number if it is on display.
Hi there we have recently brought a block of land its number is 22 and street name is palais- which adds up to 22 using the pythagorean numerology chart. Is this good or bad?

Hello, We bought a house august 27, 2016 and the house number is block 4 lot 2? Is this a lucky house? Thank you.
The number 4 is inauspicious in Feng Shui so I would recommend putting a circle around the number if it is displayed to neutralise the number. The number 2 is a good number.
We just bought a house on lot #49 and the street address is 194, i believe facing West. Please advise.
How to cure the lot # since it is not visible.
Thank you so much. I’d greatly appreciate it.
If the lot number is not visible and displayed on your home, I would not worry about it personally. If you wanted to, you could put a red circle around the deed to the home although this is down to personal preference.
Good luck in your new home, Mel!
In numerology, these numbers are fine and nothing to worry about.
I am so glad I found your website.
We are buying a brand new home. The lot # is 49 and the street address is 194. I believe is facing West. Is this bad? And how do I cure the lot # and the street address? I appreciate your help on this.

Hi! Is is okay to buy a house with numbers Block 13 Lot 9 (Facing east)?
It is fine to buy a house with these numbers although I would display the block number in an oval or round sign.
I would not worry about the house number. The number 8 is very good in numerology. I would make sure the new home is clear and free of clutter once you are settled in to attract fresh Qi. If you live in a country with good weather, be sure to keep the windows open as long as security will allow when your first move in.
My house number is 404, which sums up to 8 but has two 4s in it, should i make a red circle around it as well?
Also, I have stuck number 4 at the back of my door, as my life path number is 3, so that 404 + 4=12 and 12 will sum up to 3. Am I doing it the correct eay or need to change something here?
Could you please help me as well?
Of course, what can I help with?
Sorry, I’ve just seen this.
I would still display the house number in an oval sign to avoid problems.
If you are able to, you could draw a circle around the number plate or do it on the back of the plate.
My car number is ,GJ23 H 9310, as per numerology, I am adding only 9310which sums up to 13, ever since i bought it, I have faced lot of problem with it, like major accidents and car break up. I am suppose to follow the number plate rule of my govt. So It’s not possible for me to make a customised name plate with a ring around it. Can you help me provide a solution in this case? I would also want to Thank you fir helping out people so humbly.
I would take the plate off and draw a circle around the back.
Thank you so much for guiding me. But a bit confused, draw a red oval sign behind the plate, in the center , which will not be visible when I hang it back, is that okie?
It is a tricky one but I would try to remove the plate and draw a circle around the back.
I just signed a contract for a house at 107 Continental Dr. Is it good, bad or ugly? Thanks.
The number 107 equals to 8 which is an auspicious number in numerology.
The lot number equals to 4 so I would display this in an oval sign if possible.

I would put a circle around the lot number as the number 4 is inauspicious in numerology.

Hello, is the number 4148 lucky or unlucky, how do I determine it, Many thanks!!! You provide great information!
The number has 4 in there two which is inauspicious in numerology so I would recommend displaying the number in an oval sign as shown above.
We are looking at an appartment 323 and a half. I automatically wanted to make it a 323.5 = 4 bit it was advertised as 323 1/2 = 2. How would I add these or would I disregard the half 323 = 8?
I would personally class this is 323 which would equal to 8 which is an auspicious number in numerology. If you are in doubt, you could display the apartment number in an oval sign for safe measure.
Thank you so much. You have been so helpful! That was what I was hoping to hear.
I have been made an offer to purchase a flat.House 35 Flat-3B.Please suggest.
The number 35 equals to 8 which is an auspicious number in numerology. The number 3 is also a good number.

The number 2 is a good number in numerology so I would not worry about the number.
Good luck in your venture!
Your house number adds up to 3 which is not a problem in numerology. To add the numbers, you add all three until the get to a single digit although if you have a four in your number, it is best to display the number with a red ring around it.
Just got my license plate number 256. How is that number and should I be adding up the letters to it as well or calculated separately from the numbers? How to calculate the letters? Sorry for many questions.
256 would add up to 4 wouldn’t it?
My answer would be exactly what you said, Mila!
September 10th is a good date for starting a new business. Good luck in your new venture, I hope it all goes well for you!
House number 13 and business 419 is it a bad number?
the number 13 adds up to 4 which is an inauspicious number in numerology and the business number has a 4 in it so I would display both numbers in an oval sign.
Our apartment number is 407, do we just enclose 4 in a circle or entire apartment number? Also I read somewhere about circle being red?
I would display the apartment number in a circular door sign with red around the edge. You can get nice metal ones from most hardware stores.

I love the positive names of these roads like Joy MT and mountain view, this is actually important too, 1/9 Sky look and Joy MT are best but the other two are not that bad as road names are good.
I’m thinking about opening a small Korean restaurant. My birthday 06/09/1983 and husband 03/07/1985. My name will be on papers and husband will mainly help in kitchen.
It there a business name numerology that I should considered?
The number 310 adds to 4 which is an inauspicious number so I would display this in a round sign with read around the edge.
Good luck with your restaurant, Amy!
hi! We will be renting a House with address BLOCK 1 LOT 3 . is this ok? or it’s considered as #13 and 1+3=4?
I would not worry about this as these are two separate numbers and 1 is a good number and 3 is ok.
Dear Mr Frank, I bought a condominium unit 5th floor room number 43. I’m an aries and year of the dragon. Thank you.
My apology Mr Michael Hanna for addressing you a wrong name.
The floor number is fine and the room number equals up to 7 which is also fine. If you wanted to, i would display the room number in an oval sign as you have a 4 in the room number although this is not crucial.
We own a house with address B13 L24 P2. We dont have any numbers posted in our gate. Is this a bad address? Thanks.
I can see nothing negative about this address at all.
Hi..just want to ask if nov.24,2017 or nov.25,2017 lucky numbers for ooening a business?
I purchased a home with number 652, lot 175. Do I need a round door sign for it? Thanks.
I would have it with a round door sign.
on feng shui based on floor and it says to avoid the 6th floor for monkey. I am not sure if its best to take it or look for another floor number.
The problem with Feng Shui is that there are so many layers to it and applying all of them when looking for homes to rent or buy is impossible, you will always find a negative.
Personally, this would not worry me at all being on the 6th floor and the apartment number is fine.
I am so sorry to hear about your mum. The combination of numbers is not good at although I doubt it caused this problem. I would place the number in a round display.
301 equals to 4 which is an inauspicious number in Feng Shui so I would recommend displaying the door sign in an oval or round plaque.
Hi we are selling a newly built house number 44, front door is north facing. Can we do anything to improve the number? It adds up to 8, is that any good? Do we need to display the number in a round shape? In what colour please? Any date this year for the sale to go trough that is particularly lucky? 18/11/17? Or 08/01/18? Thank you.
Hi, I would place the number on a round display and as you say look on the positive side that it equals 8. Out of the two dates, the most auspicious day is the 8th January.
Hi my onlineshop total letters is 13 is badluck? & my car plate is oy1666 is it bad luck too? what to do?

Hello. We found a house we love but I am concerned about the address 45455 before we make an offer. What do you think?
The address equals to 6 which is an auspicious number although there are two fours in the address so I would recommend displaying the number in an oval door sign.
isnt it 23 which is 5 not 33 which u thought was 6?
Hi can you please tell me is no the 10 good for a shop or not if not what do I have to do .
The number one is an auspicious number so I would not worry about this.
I would display the address in an oval or round door sign to avoid problems with this number.
Hi I’m thinking of setting up a business and the building is number 20.
I’m drawn to the number 7 but believe 8 would be good in business.What would you suggest?
The number 20 is an auspicious number.
& is good but 8 is more auspicious so I would suggest going with your personal choice.
4 is not a good number where Feng Shui numerology is concerned, I’m afraid. The number 474 adds up to 6 which is good so it depends which you look at it. I would decide on personal preference on the car as you can always change the number plate to a personalised one.
I would purchase a round door sign similar to the one displayed on the page as this will fit in well and look good. The presence of the circle is what helps protect rather than it looking aesthetically good.
I’m planning to buy a new house; it is located in Blk 14, lot 24. What is the vibes with the number?
I would display the numbers in a round or oval house sign as shown on the page. The lot number equals up to 6 which is very good although it does also contain 4 which is an inauspicious number so it would be best to display in the rounded sign.
Good luck with your new house, Ron.
My parents just bought a new house number is 22 it is bad or bad.
22 does equal up to 4 which is an inauspicious Feng Shui number. I would recommend displaying the house number in an oval or round door sign as shown on the page.

My family just bought a new house the home number is 22. It is good or bad if we sum 2+2=4.
I want to buy a house with number 15 and another house is with number 34, which one is a good one to buy regarding the number.
The number 15 is good with regards to Feng Shui.
The number 34 is not good and I would advise displaying the number in a round door plaque.
Hi, Just wondering, is house number 15 and 34 good to buy according to Feng Shui?. Please reply asap as I don’t want to miss it. Thanks.
Hi Michael. I hope you can help. We are currently living in Europe and will be moving into our rented house No.3511E in USA this November. Will this be a good number for us?
The house number equals up to 1 which is an auspicious number in Feng Shui.
Good luck with your move, Sik.
We are currently choosing a good wedding day for next year 2018.
1. Which day is lucky? March 18 (318), June 18 (618), or Aug 18 (818) ?
2. Also if 8 is a lucky number why is August considered bad luck/ghost month even if its the 8th month?
When selecting a wedding date, you should use the Tong Shu Almanac. If you send me both dates of birth and gender, I will be able to tell you the best date to get married.
We just bought a lot #31 and a house #3217 facing east direction and it’s #4 Can you please give me some advices ? Thank you!
I would use a round or oval door sing in red or black.
Please help me to choose my future car number plates; 299, 300, 302, 311 or 312.
I need an answer in the next 14 hours.
Sorry, I have only just seen your comment.
The best number plates would be 299 and 312 although 299 is the best out of the two.
Your address equals up to 1 when you add them all together which is a good number in numerology.
Hello Michael, my house address is block 20 lot 13, is this good or bad number?
Your lot number adds up to 4 which is an inauspicious number and I would recommend displaying the lot number in a round plaque on your home to negate this.
Yes, I would recommend drawing a round circle around the door number.
Front door of my house has the house number 103 written in red on a white rectangular sticker inside a rectangular border in red..can you please let me know drawing a circle around 103 would help…thank you for helping us out..good bless u..
Hello. My house number is 31B. Is it a good number? Please advise.
Your house number equals to 4 which is an inauspicious number so I would recommend displaying the number in an oval door sign.
Hi is no 54 a good house no.
The house number has a 4 in it which is inauspicious so I would recommend displaying the door number in an oval door plaque to avoid problems.
My house no. is 44. What should I do to counter the bad luck of the no.? Can I add a letter of the alphabet to balance the bad feng shui?
I would recommend displaying the house number in a round door plaque.
Im planning to buy a house.. im choosing between block 4 lot 4 or block 4 lot 6. Which one is better? My husbands birthday is march 1. Do i need to put circle on it? I hope you can help me.
I would say that block 4 lot 6 is the better out of the two based on numerology.
Iam buying a house that is block 13 lot 13 is this a good number?
Your block and lot number equals to 4 which is an inauspicious Feng Shui number. I would recommend display the block and lot number in a round door sign.
I am planning to buy a house with number 7420 which adds up to 4. House seems decent and my family liked it most over other houses we saw. Kindly advise should I buy this house?
One more point house is built on lot 121 which again adds up to 4.
It is hard to advise on a property without seeing it although with regards to the house number, I would display it in a round door sign.
Is a new house number 4448 or 4446 good? Do I need to buy a circle around each number 4 in the sign.
the two numbers are not the best and I would recommend using a round door number sign for the whole number; you do not need to place a circle around each number 4.
Is 138/2 good number in my house.
Your house number equals to 5 which is not the greatest number in numerology although I would recommend using a round door plaque for your home to negate this.
The number 1900 is fine with regards to numerology.
I have just been allocated with a house number 24… much to my distress I have called the local council to see if this can be changed but to no avail. Our house was lot 106.
What do I do? What type of plaque should i use? Can I use the words “twenty four” on the plaque? Our house is North facing.
I would recommend using a round or oval plaque for the door sign to avoid any problems. I would not worry too much about this.
Thank you!!! Also would it be okay to put the round plaque on the letterbox or does it have to be on the door? In red or in black.
Thank you! May I also ask if the plaque can be placed on the letterbox or does it have to be on the door? Further, do the circle and/or numbers have to be in red or black colour?
Just one more question what color should the number and the circle be – red or black?
The sign will be fine in either red or black so this is just down to personal preference.
We saw this house that we really like and the house number is #16. Is this a good number? Thanks so much in advance!
This is a good number in numerology. Good luck with your new home.
The number 16 adds up to 7 which is fine in numerology; it’s not the best number but it won’t cause problems.
hi! I am thinking of buying a lot number 1313. Is it a good number? Thanks!
Your lot number adds up to 8 which is an auspicious number in numerology.
My home number is 28646. Is it ok?
Your home number equals to 8 which is an auspicious number.
I live on the 4th floor of apartment building and my unit number is 425 which adds up to 11, which is auspicious as mentioned above.
Should I put a circle around it bc we are on the 4th floor? Or is there another way to resolve this 4th floor issue? If it is not bad luck pls let me know because I became concerned after reading about the number 4… Thx!!
I would not worry about living on the 4th floor personally. The number four is an inauspicious number but this does not relate to your personal address. I would just put up a circular door number sign for your apartment.
Hi I am picking between 4414 and 4412 for an address. Which is better? Can anything be done about the two fours in the beginning? I am worried about all of the 4’s. Thank you in advance.
Out of the two, 4412 is the better number for the address as this equals up to 2.
The home is a number 26 which equals 8, however it’s front door is NorthEast facing.
I have read that 8 is good, and the number 26(and reversed 62) is not. Would this number need energy correcting?
Would a red or orange door help this direction?
The number 8 is auspicious in numerology and I would say you do not need to correct the energy.
I’m thinking about a restaurant in a shopping plaza, the address is 4790 S Hagadorn Rd Suite #144, good idea or find a different space?
Here is another space 300 Frandor Avenue Suite #444, good idea or find a different space?
4790 equals up to two 20 which is a good complete number in terms of numerology.
Good luck with the restaurant, Amy.
Does the round/oval house sign need to be just plain black/red? The ones that i saw at Home Depot have gold outline to them. Thanks!
The gold outline will be fine to use.
How about if my house address is 434? Is this ok?
I would recommend purchasing a round or oval door sign for your address as this will disipate the effects of having two number 4’s in your address.
Hi Amanda, The sign can be oval shaped as well.
Hi. Would like to ask if 3380 is good number for car plate? Tq.
Looks like a good combination for a number plate.
How about an address with a unit or apt to it?
My address would be 280 Unit #4 – do I need to put a circle around it or should I just avoid at all costs?
I would recommend purchasing a round door sign for your unit to have the number 4 on display.
I am looking a new house with the nomber 45. Is it good or not. Pl suggest me. thank you.
I am looking for a new house with the nomber D -45 or A -10.Is it good or not. Pl suggest me. thank you.
The A-10 is probably the better number.
I brought a house with the number of 23A – 7 where the actual number is 24. Is this a bad number?
i dont know what number to use, i live in a townhouse. my unit numer is 153. but my street house number is 548.
I am staying in the house no is B-177.Is it good or bad. Pl give me the suggestion.
Your house number equals to 6 which is a good number in numerology.
If it (D-45) is not good then what is the remedies. Pl suggest me .
I would just have a circle made around the number, in the UK we have house numbers in circle shapes which are perfect.
Hi Michael. I am considering buying a home with the house # 13440. Is that bad since it has #13 and two #4?
31 is not the best number in numerology as it adds up to 4 which is inauspicious. To resolve this, I would purchase a round door sign for your new home.
Apologies for the late reply. the number adds up to 11 which is considered auspicious in Feng Shui and also good for relationships as it symbolises two people side by side.
Sorry for the late reply, I would place the number is round display, if you read the article here you will find more details and hope it helps you.
I would display the lot number in a round or oval house sign as shown on the page. The lot number adds to 6 which is a very auspicious number although it does also contain 4 which is an inauspicious number so it would be best to display in the rounded sign.
Good luck in your new home, Mae.
Im looking at a house that is numbered 23. Is that fortunate?
The number 23 is not the best number for a house although this can be resolved by using a round door sign on the front of the home to display the number.
The #18 is a great number and would not use a circle.
Hi is 8819 good number?
Yes, this is a good number. There are two eights in the number which is very fortunate.
I am choosing between the two addresses for my dream home.
I would go with Blk 12 lot 9 although you also need to make sure you are happy with the location.
Good luck with your new home, Myaida.
This would be 8 energy and very good.
Either name will be good as you have eight in the name which is very fortunate.
My friend maria referred me here. we bought the same place of apartment but I was given 2 option only.
we are basing only through the main house number.
I would say the first option is the best as the number is good. Also, you should not base an apartment just on the number, you need to feel happy in it yourself. Good luck in your new apartment, Joahnna.
Block 8 lot 141, block 8 lot 137 , block 14 lot 329, block 7 lot 4, block 16 lot 237.
Going by the numbers only, block 8 – lot 137 looks the best but this is only from a numerology point of view.
Wow what a quick reply. Thank you so much. One of the best and concern person.
YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL TO EVERYONE FOR AN IDEA.
Sir Michael, Block 8 lot 137 is the apartment number but as ive checked its on 4th door from the entrance u think it will affect coz its 4th door or no problem because were basing on house number..
Hi sorry to disturb I know I keep emailing you my apology. I Called my agent to check and give me different house number available he message me a new house number just now..
2. BLOCK 7 is not updated on the system there is chance it might not be availble when i go there tom. Can you give me the best number for lot number 8 only.
Our family will appreciate your advice..
I would go for BLOCK 8 LOT 138 first or BLOCK 8 LOT 141 second.
I would go for BLOCK 8 LOT 138.
Most SE Asian would avoid this combination of numbers but mostly due to superstition but it is good to have the 8 in the lot number.
Thank you sir Daniel for your advice.
Should I also use the round door sign for the number 4?
Yes, i would use a round door sign on the #4.
I am thinking of leasing a space for business with a suite # 220. Please let me know if it’s bad.
The number 220 in Feng Shui is fine and i know you may think 2+2 = 4, it does not work like that all is good with this number.
I would probably choose 8899 as this represents today’s and future wealth, enjoy your new car.
We’re trying to buy a house #774. I’ve learned #4 isn’t good, but the sum makes 18. Would You please advice if it’s good or not.
774 is not bad at all and as you say 18 is a positive number and it would be a number i would choose.
Your reply is so much appreceated!!
Hi, not it is not that bad although i would frame the number in a circle.
If you read the article you will see that if you are not sure about a number you should draw a circle around the number. The article gives you some ideas.
We are looking at purchasing a house with an address of 50 or 48. Which number is better?
I have a new house with the number 44. What can I do? My wife is half Chinese.
We like a house, number 41?
Shall we buy or leave?
4 is not good in a house number although the solution is to purchase a round door sign and make sure the number is inside the sign as shown in the picture on this page.
We like a house number 41. Is this a good number?
The number 4 is not a good number although I would not let it put me off my dream home. The remedy to this is to make sure that the house number is presented in a round house sign; this is an easy fix and can be bought at most DIY shops. Good luck with the new home.
We\’re trying to purchase a home that has a block # 6150. Can you please advise if it\’s good.
I truly appreciate you response! Thank You!
I would say that the block number is ok and should not cause problems.
I am looking at a condo 1404. Is it a good number ?
Its not a great number but you can weaken this by placing a circle round the condo number such as a plaque.
Putting a circle round the number tends to neutralise the ill effects and should avoid problems rather than weaken.
Are they good or bad? Appreciate your response.Thank you.
Hi, 88 is considered the most auspicious and 1601 second best, the other two numbers are not great.
I am moving to a flat # 86 is it good or bad ? I am a fire Monkey.
Thank u Michael. Just signed for it today. It felt good going up the elevator and the digitized voice saying 8 when door opens. This will be everytime I reach my floor and double flying stars 8 wait for me at my door facing South 🙂 Happy :).
Or should I say Thank u Daniel ?
Can you please tell me if the number 58, which makes it a 4 number is bad and can we rectify it by putting a circle around it.
Hi Lillian, the number 58 is good, anything with an 8 is good so no remedy is needed.
I would not make any changed with the number, #6 is good.
The number 14 equals up to 5 which is not bad and should not cause any problems. If you are concerned about the 4 in the number, you could buy a door number sign and use a circular sign for each number.
Good luck with the property.
If possible, I would put a circle around the number 4 on your company logo as you suggested. 3429 is considered a good number as it adds up to 9 and I would not worry about this number.
Planning to get house with number 4525 . Is it a good number?
the number 4525 equals to 7 which should not cause problems.
I\’m planning to get a new car and just checking on which car plate is the best (877, 978, 2868, 6828, 6882)?
All numbers work well except for 877.
Just bought a house #669.
Is it a good number?
669 will add up to 3 which is not a bad number although I would purchase a circle door plaque for the front of the home.
We are shopping for a house.
Here are the adress we will visit this week-end.
Please can you tell me the best number?
Now I\’m living in a number 74 and my life is a nightmare and I need to know before to buy a new house.
The best number out of that list is 6391 although this will also come down to the actual home and how it feels for you.
I live in house 4A can you suggest what can I do thanks.
I would purchase a round door number sign for your home and have the number 4 inside the circle plate.
32 is a great number.
Hi can you give details in what respect is 2208 good number .
They are quite good although 28 is slightly better. Personally i would choose the right home rather than worry about the number.
My house number is 2208. Please suggest if it is good or bad?
2208 is a good number and you do not need to make changes at all.
This number is absolutely fine.
I have a house sign # 4 (light gold colour) as small metal (on top of silver metal letter box) plate glued to the left side of s brick fence. What colour (eg, blue, red, etc….) should I circle the sign # 4? Please advise, thanks, Dan.
You should circle the number in either red or black if possible.
Is it best to sell our lot blk.13 lot 4 or placing a number with circle on it will be ok as cure? Planning to build our house by next yr.pls help.thanks.
I would place a the block and lot number in a circle as this remedies any ill effects.
Your home address equals to 8 which is a very auspicious Feng shui number.
Your business license equals to 3 which is not great although it is not one of the worst. When displaying your license number, you can play a circle around it e.g. on invoices etc.
Hi, My wife wrote you about our house number 2474 which you said to put in a circle. Do you mean the entire number goes in one circle or do you mean each of the 4 numbers has its own circle? Thank you!
My house number is 346. Please let me know if it is unlucky since it has number 4.
As you said, the number equals to 4 which is not auspicious; I would place the house number in a round sign outside your home to avoid problems.
The best thing to do is purchase a round door sign for the door number.
Me & my wife are buying a property lot.
We want to know if the number is ok.
Both the block and lot number are good. Good luck with your purchase.

The number 18 is an auspicious number in Feng Shui.
4903 when added together equals to sixteen which is an auspicious number. Good luck with the house purchase!
Thank you so much. I feel so much better. Thank you !!
Hi, I just found out our house has a terrible number. It is 2474. We have lived here for 30 years. Is there a way to cure the bad number?
When you add 2474 together, it equals to seventeen which is an inauspicious number so I would suggest having house number signs made up for your home with a round plaque as shown below as this will weaken the influence of the numbers.
When you add 2474 together, it equals to seventeen which is an inauspicious number so I would suggest having house number sign made up for your home with a round plaque as shown below as this will weaken the influence of the numbers.
well my parents house is 33, my appartment in the number 13 and my office 44.
What do you suggets? I would apreciate your advice.
I would suggest having house number signs made up for the two homes and office with a round plaque as shown below as this will weaken the influence of the numbers.
Hello I am planning to buy and shop; the shop has everything positive besides it\’s number which is number 13. Should I buy this shop?
I\’m afraid that I cannot advise on the shop just on a number alone although when dealing with inauspicious numbers, you should display the number for the shop in a round plaque to weaken the influence of the number.
We are looking a townhome and its really beautiful but what i am worried about is the street number where the townhouse is located is in 4\’th street… The house number though is #125. Do i need to be worried about this street number and what is the cure for it? I cannot out a circle to the street sign….
The house number equals to eight which is very auspicious. I would not worry too much about the street number as the effect will be spread across a lot of homes.
the number two is an auspicious number although the number 4 is inauspicious as it translates roughly to death. with the number 4, if you have a door sign for the lot 4, I would have the number displayed in a circle plaque.
Congratulations on your new home. 2567 will equal to 20 which is auspicious as it is an even number. I hope you have a great life in your new home and make many happy memories with your daughter.
We moved into a house number 160, things feel a bit out of sync professionally. We lived happily in a house adding to 14 previously. Please advise what to do?
We recently moved into a house number 160, things feel a bit out of sync professionally. We lived happily in a house adding to 14 previously. Please advise what to do?
I did a Life Answers Report Numerology reading for the Month of September.
44/8 whats the cure for this? and how to minimise anger?
The fact that this equals to 4 is not a problem, it is more if there is a 4 in the actual number so I would not worry about it Rinku.
I am a Realtor listing a house in an area with a lot of Asian buyers. My clients want to list their property at $484,900. Is the negative effect of the 4s negated by the 8 and 9? Would it be considered a luckier number to list at $484,888?
I would recommend listing the property at £484,888 if possible as like you said, the 8\’s will help negate the effect of the 4\’s.
Thank you for the article above.
I am moving to a new property and the adress is the following: Flat 1, building 705. Would you be able to help me understand the vibration of this number?
the 7 and 5 in your building number add up to 12 which is a good number. 1 is also a good number which means you have a good address.
That\’s great, thank you so much 🙂 I was just worried as all the numbers together (1, 705) added to a four.
Thank you so much for clarifying!
My business number is 157,..which sums 13 = 4…I put the number inside an oval Red color (not a circle). Is it going to work too? The fact that it is an oval line instead of a circle makes any difference?
Apologies but I have only just come across this as it was in the spam folder.
I would try to buy a sign that is a circle for a door number sign if possible as this will be much more effective.
We have recently moved into a appt 404 and a new office A102, things are not working out too well since then, both professionally and personally, worried!
It is impossible to give you detailed advice without seeing the buildings but the best thing you can do is put a circle around the building numbers and you will be amazed at the difference that this will make.
My wife and I are planning to buy an apartment unit 404. We are worried about the number as its double 4. Just want to ask if it is bad luck?
The positve way to look at it is that 4+4=8 which is the most auspicious number to the Chinese. Personally, I wouldn\’t let it put me off.

I have been living in a rented flat 1228 facing NW for the past 2years. We have had severe relationship problems and finance and health have been erratic. We have to renew in June . If I dont get a better one would drawing a circle around the flat no suffice?
Hello, a co-worker of mine just purchased a home with the address \”144\”. He and his wife are having a house-warming party in a week. What feng shui cure/gift can I give or suggest to help diminish the inauspicious effects?
Will my question be answered? Does this message system work?
i am planning to buy a house… is 4453 or 4463 house no. ok? what should i do? can I put rectangle or oblong in it?
hi we are buying a house number 22 as a rental holiday property near the water can you help with any suggestions?
If it is the number 22 you are worried about, this is not bad at all and nothing is needed.
Since I have moved into this particular apartment 13/4 an inconceivable amount of crisies have occurred in my life and the life of those I am accountable for. I never considered my apt # until i just recently did the math and read about 13/4 house numbers. I was shocked to see descriptions of the horrendous roller coaster ride I am on.
Please I need to know how to get out of this apt. This was to be a temporary residence and yet we have not been able to get our selves out and now feel uncertain of our future. I am worried what will go wrong next. And to note I was NOT superstitious and did not know anything about this 13/4 number until just this past week.
I have a house number 5, street number 9.
I think is by itself is very good [ 5 elements etc], and we know that 9 is good also. Together, im not sure?
What does a house number 1465 mean? I understand 14 isn\’t good, please advice what to do. Thanks.
We are moving in to a house number 62. please advise if it is a good or bad number?
6 and 2 adds to 8 which in Feng Shui, is a fantastic number and with regard to the Five Elements, the number 6 represents metal and the number 2 represents earth which is fortunate as metal enhances earth in the productive cycle.
To put it simply, this is a good number for a home and you should look at this as a positive number. If you wanted to get a number plaque for the home, I would recommend using a good quality slate in rectangular or square shape to compliment this.
my house number is 1589. Kindly advise what to do.
Thinking if buying one of two houses in North Texas one address is 2455 which is a 7 and the other is 553 which is a four worried about my family we have 4 children and these are the best if what if what we can afford will simply putting either address in a circle or maybe an oval help? Thank you for your help!
My house number is 31. Is this a good or bad number. Drawing a circle in this number can help if its not a good number. Thank you.
You may have learnt that 31 is an inauspicious number as the two numbers equal to 4 although you have the elements wood and water from the 3 and 1 which can be very good.
Is the numbers 444 in the prefix of you phone number bad? Please let me know so that I can decide what to do.
I\’m sorry to say but my personal view and the majority of south east Asia would say that this is bad and is not considered a good number. | 2019-04-19T04:21:15 | https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/numerology.htm |

To ensure optimum performance, our engineering team worked with BERMA engineers to "beef up" their basic beater designs to better suit harsh North American conditions.
Paddle configurations are a combination of blades to slice through tough materials and cups to fling finer materials and semi-solids. Even corn and bean stalks are shredded to an indistinguishable fineness. Beaters can be customized with any combination of cups and knives. For even more durability in high-usage applications or abrasive materials we offer forged and hardened components. We've even created custom components for specific applications. What can we do for you? | 2019-04-19T02:51:36 | http://hydra-spread.com/extravert/ |
Our creative directors, Dan and Chris, and our scribe, Lauren, spent the week of Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity running between venues, iPads in hands, digitally scribing a whole host of thought-provoking debates and talks.
The BBC New Gen storytelling debate with Reggie Yates, Benjamin Zand, Dominique Delport and Richard Pattinson was a highlight, exploring new rules of content creation, from virtual reality to brand consistency. And Christine Lagarde's talk went down a storm on social media, too, as she spoke about empowering women and changing the world through creativity.
To find out more about what we were up to at Cannes, check out our journal post. | 2019-04-23T02:14:48 | http://www.scriberia.co.uk/projects/digital-scribing-cannes |
The task for this project was to take an existing festival and rebrand it. The Texas Sandfest in Port Aransas is North America's biggest sand-sculpting festival, currently entering it's 21st year. Since it's beginning, the festival has been entirely volunteer-run. All money raised throughout the festival is put towards scholarships and bursaries for local students. For this reason, the festival does not allocate much budget towards design.
The challenge with this specific festival was coming up with an identity system that communicated the extent of this festival. The Texas Sandfest is not just a sand sculpting tournament — it is a beach festival with live music, hundreds of food and drink vendors and games and activities for all ages. My main goal was to communicate this through the visual identity to attract a larger audience.
My final solution was based on the concept of using a set of icons that represent the many different aspects of the festival. To keep true to the sculpting nature of this festival, I sculpted each of the icons out of plasticine. These icons gave me a strong foundation for very dynamic branding.
My process began with research; both factual and visual. Upon learning about the festival, I knew that the approach needed to be fun, colourful, and somehow communicate the various aspects of the festival that are not directly implied. I attempted a variety of approaches before deciding to create my own icons, then played with various layouts and uses of these icons before finding an arrangement that worked. | 2019-04-26T02:13:31 | https://parisadale.com/texassandfest/ |

I’ve had a lot of patients throughout the years with knee pain (I know, earth shattering beginning to a blog post). The biggest thing that we do as Physical Therapists is figure out what is the cause of your pain. I feel like I’ve had a group of patients recently, that have knee pain and their MRI shows they have a meniscus tear…and arthritis. The problem with having both is it makes it hard to discern where the pain is coming from because they are so closely related. The other problem with having both is that surgeons are usually shy about performing a meniscectomy (remove the torn meniscus) because it may not relieve your pain symptoms. That being said, let’s talk about the differences between the two so you can make an educated decision if this is what you are dealing with.
The meniscus is the shock absorber of your knee. You have one on the inside (medial) and outside (lateral) of your knee. If you were looking down from the top of your knee they look like two lima beans. If you look at them from a straight on view they look like a race car track meaning the peripheral portions are thicker and it slopes down towards the middle of the knee from there.
Typically a torn meniscus will hurt right over the joint line and will be sore at end ranges of knee movement. It will also usually hurt with activity, especially loading and twisting. Remember, its your shock absorber, so the more bumps you take the more strain you are putting on it. Think of it like driving a car. If you go over a lot of bumps you will feel it more.
When you have a torn meniscus the surgeon will usually just cut out the torn portion, which is usually on the inner portion. That way they can take the torn tissue, while still leaving a lot of meniscus for you to play with.
Recovery is usually quick (if you have a good PT) and you are usually back to your normal activities in a couple months time.
Arthritis is a loss of cartilage. Cartilage is like the shiny end of a chicken bone. When cartilage slides on cartilage, no problem, when it starts to wear down is when bone gets exposed and can lead to inflammation and pain.
Arthritis is usually worse in the morning and at night. During the day, if you keep your knee moving without much impact, it usually makes the joint feel better. Activities like biking, swimming, non-impact weight lifting are good.
Arthritic pain is usually more global, meaning it’s hard to pinpoint with your finger. Sometimes it hurts in one area. The next day it could hurt in a completely different area. It depends on how much arthritis you have and what types of activities you are doing.
The surgical solution for arthritis is a knee replacement which isn’t as easy to recover from as a meniscectomy obviously. Recovery from a knee replacement is 3-6 months (back to activity with some pain) with full recovery usually by a year.
So what do you do if you go see a doctor only to find out that you have a meniscus tear AND knee arthritis? The best thing to do is start to write down where you have pain in your knee and when. If you start to see that it is more over the joint line, and more with jumping/twisting activities, it’s probably coming from your meniscus. If you find that it is more painful in the morning, but gets better as the day goes along, and not in a consistent spot, it’s probably arthritis.
I would always recommend trying a course of PT first. In both cases there have been plenty of studies that show that PT can be effective without requiring surgical intervention. If PT doesn’t help and it appears to be more meniscus, if it were my knee, I would have the surgery. If PT doesn’t help and it appears to be more arthritis, it depends on what I would recommend. A knee replacement is a much bigger surgery, but is also really effective for relieving knee pain. It is really age related but I will say this … most patients that I have, that have had knee replacement surgery, say they wish they had done it sooner.
I hope this helps to give you an idea of why your knee hurts and what you can do about it. If you have any questions please comment below. If you would like to schedule an evaluation to see what might be causing your knee pain, please contact us at OrthoCore Physical Therapy 401-667-0131 to make an appointment at our Westerly or North Kingstown locations. | 2019-04-24T10:32:27 | https://www.orthocorept.com/blog/tag/knee+pain |
Minor Footballers Advance In County Championship With Win Over Carrigtwohill.
The Brian Dillons Minor Footballers surmounted the first hurdle in the Rebel Og County Minor (A) Football Championship when they defeated Carrigtwohill, 0-13 to 0-6, at Carrigtwohill,on Wednesday evening ,18th July, 2012.
Although Brian Dillons had seven points to spare at the finish, the final scoreline did not really reflect the correct story of the game. Brian Dillons could and should have won much more comfortably but, for some wayward shooting and were unlucky to strike the woodwork on at least three occasions when the ball seemed destined to finish up in the Carrigtwohill net.
Brian Dillons dominated the proceedings during the opening twenty minutes of the game but,managed to score only four points with Darren McGrath and Michael Peters unlucky to see their goal attempts come back off the crossbar. Encouraged by these let-offs,Carrigtwohill came more into the game in the final ten minutes of the first-half and found themselves only two points behind, 0-4 to 0-2, at the interval.
The opening twelve minutes of the second -half saw Brian Dillons in total control and, with their markmanship much, improved they slotted over six unanswered points to lead by 0-10 to 0-2 before Carrigtwohill got their first score of the half when they put over a pointed free at the end of the third quarter of the game. This score signalled another period of the dominance for the East Cork side and they added another three points ,which left them five points behind as the game entered the ciosing five minutes. However, Brian Dillons finished in style with points from full-forward,Shane Corcoran and a pair from impressive substitute Kieran Delaney which saw their side emerge comfortable winners by a seven point margin. | 2019-04-19T20:59:19 | http://www.briandillons.gaa.ie/match-reports/minorfootballersadvanceincountychampionshipwithwinovercarrigtwohill |

In a victory for all camera-phone ninjas everywhere, young and old, a Federal circuit court in the state of MA has ruled that filiming the coppers is an unambiguously constitutionally protected right. For most of us, that’s mere common sense, for the police department, however, the news couldn’t be worse.
Undeterred, in February 2010, Glik filed suit in federal court against the officers and the City of Boston under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the MassachusettsCivil Rights Act. Glik alleged that the police officers violated his First Amendment right to record police activity in public and that the officers violated his Fourth Amendment rights by arresting him without probable cause to believe a crime had occurred.
Complete with greenface and all.
Shortly before his death, Marlon Brando was working on a series of instructional videos about acting, to be called "Lying for a Living". On the surviving footage, Brando can be seen dispensing gnomic advice on his craft to a group of enthusiastic, if somewhat bemused, Hollywood stars, including Leonardo Di Caprio and Sean Penn. Brando also recruited random people from the Los Angeles street and persuaded them to improvise (the footage is said to include a memorable scene featuring two dwarves and a giant Samoan). "If you can lie, you can act," Brando told Jod Kaftan, a writer for Rolling Stone and one of the few people to have viewed the footage. "Are you good at lying?" asked Kaftan. "Jesus," said Brando, "I’m fabulous at it."

Beyoncé – what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Queen Bee, Lemonade, Jay-Z, Crazy In Love, Destiny’s Child, Flawless? All of the above. How about female empowerment.
On Thursday night I was in Hampden, singing my heart away to all her hits, from Formation to Baby Boy, Me, Myself and I and Who Run the World. (Answer – girls). Beyoncé was incredible, I’ve never been to a stadium concert before so didn’t know what to expect. I spent the whole time in awe, from how pitch perfect she was to how much she encouraged the audience to believe in themselves and know that they’ve made it through a breakup, or a tough time, or a hardship and that as females we can do it. Working in a male dominated industry, it was a breathe of fresh air.
Now Beyoncé can dance in a way that I never could, she just has the hips for it. But she has hips and thighs and strong legs. As a girl who runs and goes to the gym a lot, I feel big a lot and can go from loving my strong legs, to hating my lack of thigh gap. Reality check, Beyoncé does not have a thigh gap and has big strong legs too. All of her costumes accentuated her tiny waist and long legs, think leotards and thigh high boots.
So it begs the question, why do I let myself obsess over not having skinny legs, when many others don’t. Strong is the new skinny and I need to recognise that. Body Dysmorphia affects many girls, myself included. I can obsessive over how big I look in a photo, which oddly leads to a downward spiral of eating too much, then overexercising, aka not healthy. From now on, I am going to remember Queen Bee and how amazing she looked. Maybe come winter I’ll use Beyoncé as a fashion idol, and buy some thigh high boots and embrace my legs. | 2019-04-22T21:55:44 | https://coffeeandconfetti.me/life/beyonce-and-body-confidence/ |
at 64 on the thermometer, which is higher than Jews, Atheists, Evangelical Christians, Mainline Protestants, Muslims and Mormons. Jews gave Hindus a thermometer rating of 70, which is highest given to Hindus by any religious group. Hindus were rated at 70 by those who had personal connections with someone in the Hindu community, as compared to 54 given by those who had no such connection. But only 22% of Americans say they personally know a Hindu.
These were among the findings of a new Pew Research Center survey of 4,248 adults conducted between January nine to 23 on the Center’s nationally representative American Trends Panel. | 2019-04-23T08:33:57 | http://www.indiajournal.com/religion/hindus-rated-fairly-warmly-in-the-us-survey-reveals |

Everlasting Charm towards Individual Houses Amidst the growing culture of many people preferring apartments, there are still people who are crazy about individual homes. This is for the freedom and privacy which they get from such houses. There are people who prefer living in a calm atmosphere without being disturbed by their neighbors. Such people prefer buying individual houses, said in the forum page of Amarprakash builders reviews. People who prefer constructing unique style of houses also prefer independent houses. There are custom builders who construct houses of unique style of architecture in order to assist people in making their dreams of living in unique style individual home have come true. Benefits in Individual Home: • Thesehouses can be built in varied sizes and varies in different bedroom units as per the requirement of the family members and the budget of their families. • People can also try to enhance or modify the house as and when they feel like. • Independent houses will fetch more value compared to other type of houses as the individual houses are likely to rise in value steadily and the individual houses constructed in prime areas will always be in demand among various classes of society even after many years of construction. • Individual houses give way for private garden for the garden lovers. • They also offer way for interiors in order to beautify the homes in a more unique way in order to add uniqueness and beauty to the homes. Emerging trends Nowadays, there is a changing trend of people looking for individual houses in the city that are within the townships. These villa houses constructed within the townships are mainly preferred by the upper and upper middle class people as they feel that these villas are far better than living in bungalows which are not secured. In order to live a secured life, people prefer living in luxurious villas within the townships thereby they are at liberty to enjoy all the amenities provided within the townships consisting of apartments and row houses or villas. People living in the villas of the townships can very well spend their weekends peacefully within the townships by dining in the restaurants, relaxing in the beauty salons and spas, spending the leisure time in the shopping malls and entertainment areas within the communities. With all these entities and amenities being gifted in the townships along with good water supply, elevator facilities, and security facilities, many people who are in bungalows also sell the bungalows in the outskirts which lack security and other facilities and prefer buying such assets within the townships. If you are so far living in rental houses facing so many difficulties, it is the right time, as many builders are providing opportunities to buy luxury homes for sale at nominal price. | 2019-04-24T08:02:35 | https://individualhouses.cabanova.com/ |

Like all of the Utah State Parks, Dead Horse Point is dog friendly! You may bring your furry friends on all hiking trails in the park, and into the campground. While doing so, we ask that you respect the following guidelines….
In addition to protecting wildlife and sensitive biological soil crust, this also keeps your pet safe. Sadly, many dogs have been lost over the years while chasing objects or small rodents over the cliff side.
Dogs and fast moving bikes often don’t mix well, and leashes have the potential to act as trip wires. Please stay on the hiking trails if you’re bringing your pet along.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are unable to accommodate pets in these structures. This is due to the small number of yurts available, and the unexpected danger that pet hair can pose to those suffering from severe allergies. Due to extreme heat danger (see below), we also cannot allow guests to leave their pets in vehicles while they are staying in the yurts.
Please keep in mind that on even a moderately warm, sunny day, the temperature inside your vehicle can quickly exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 Celsius). Neither cracking the windows nor leaving water will allow your pet to survive under these conditions.
For your convenience, dog waste bag dispensers are located throughout the park. Help us keep Dead Horse Point clean!
If you have any questions about these policies, feel free to ask a park ranger for guidance. We hope you and your animal companions have fun out there! | 2019-04-21T00:46:18 | https://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/dead-horse/traveling-with-pets/ |
Valmet DNA Machine Monitoring provides condition monitoring information for process operators and maintenance personnel through one common user interface.
The easy to interpret user displays provide operators with critical information essential to maintaining process performance and provides instant alert to problems that might otherwise go unnoticed until catastrophic failure. The same displays can be viewed in the maintenance office with tools to help maintenance specialists analyze complex problems and isolate specific faults before they cause a breakdown.
Process control and condition monitoring can be fully integrated in Valmet DNA to easily combine process data and machinery condition information for efficient analysis and problem solving. With process data easily linked to condition monitoring measurements, cause and effect relationships are more easily identified, the right support staff can be notified and immediate corrective action can be taken if necessary.
Building data links between separate systems is no longer needed as the same operator stations, history data bases and system network can be used by both applications. Utilizing shared system resources for control and condition monitoring applications also simplifies system maintenance because only one engineering environment is needed.
Valmet condition monitoring and vibration analysis systems were formerly developed by Valmet as Sensodec. | 2019-04-21T06:15:40 | https://www.valmet.com/board-and-paper/automation-for-board-and-paper/condition-monitoring/online-condition-monitoring/ |
Bloomberg: The Big Hack; Is it True?
(Bloomberg) The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies, is refuted by (Reuters) DHS says no reason to doubt firms’ China hack denials, and further by Apple tells Congress it found no signs of hacking attack.
Which story is true? This offers another exercise for predictors, in the weighing of evidence and comparing the veracity of sources. But let’s first consider the art world. Up until about 1870, genres of art were arranged by the French Academies in a rigid hierarchy. In reporting by U.S. based media, a hierarchy also exists, which determines priorities, depth, and accuracy.
Just by living, most people have some understanding of politics, law, and economics. The stories they read are put together mostly by people with general liberal arts educations, with competence that varies from reasonable to remarkable. Technology is at the opposite pole of incomprehension. There is no such thing as native understanding of how it works, and few care if the facts are murdered. Yet in the Bloomberg story and the Reuters response, tech has leaped all the way to the top, square in the arena of geopolitics.
This is compounded by the apparent, self-enforced differences of regular journalism and investigative journalism. In regular journalism, diligence is satisfied by consulting “sources”, who are either people in government or people with impressive job titles and credentials. But the liberal arts education of a typical reporter provides insufficient guidance for discrimination. Lacking a fund of technical knowledge that would identify the relevant credential, Reuters reporters relied exclusively on nontechnical sources. Bloomberg, with in-house competence in computer technology, did the opposite.
The errors resulting from lack of in-house competence can be subtle or egregious. But while mistakes about the latest “tech” widget or phone are usually harmless, harm does come when tech leaps to the top and collides with politics. This was so in the case of CNN, Shame! Raise Your Standards! “Russia unveils ‘Satan 2 Missile”, where inaccurate reporting risked instigating an arms-race, and for which no correction was issued.
The statutory obligation of government authorities to protect national security investigations and foreign intelligence.
The obligation of Apple to protect shareholder value. If Apple had supported the Bloomberg claims, it could have provoked retaliation by China against Apple’s China operations, possibly including seizure of assets, so severe as to materially impact the company.
Lacking Bloomberg’s technical resources (Bloomberg is also a hardware company), it is difficult for Reuters to interpret technical sources. Hence an unconscious bias — excessive reliance on “authorities”, typically drawn from government and finance.
The denial is what anybody with a shred of fiduciary responsibility would have said. Even in retirement, it’s not Sewell’s job to wreck Apple, nor can we expect the FBI general counsel to blow a national security investigation.
The above asserts the absence of outbound traffic, not the absence inbound traffic, or of implanted chips. Apple could have neutralized the implants by laser drilling, or by modifying the IPMI (read down) firmware.
Given the gravity of the stakes for Apple, and other U.S. interests in China, Stathakopoulos may have been given a waiver by the executive branch, with disclosure to Congress in some future closed proceeding.
The first Reuters article, relying heavily on credentials that virtually assure bias, elevates the credibility of Sewell, who is anything but a disinterested person. Here the needs of the open source intelligence, and the media are at odds. A media outlet wants an article to be taken as informative, even when it isn’t. If it were not for that need, Reuters might have mentioned the statutory secrecy requirements of a national security investigation, which reduces to null the content value.
So for open source intelligence, we have to sift and toss the drek, of which the first Reuters article mostly consists.
Silicon Valley has a grapevine. Bloomberg found 17 voices. But without a big, shiny credentials badge, how will you know someone is sufficiently knowledgeable to be useful? I’m going to tell you now.
The alleged Chinese implant chips are very small, consume little energy, have low clock speeds, and have few terminals (pins). Most of a motherboard operates at extreme speeds, requiring lots of energy. This incompatibility limits the points of attachment on a Supermicro motherboard to one particular feature: the baseboard management controller chip, which implements the IPMI interface.
IPMI is old. Silicon Valley is awash with greybeards who know it well. If you aspire to technical excellence in your open source endeavors, you should add some numbers to your book. Boards are routinely x-rayed, providing interesting graphic material above and beyond the drekky clip-art typically used with such articles.
The grapevine awaits you. Give it Credence, Clearwater, Revival.
Or just stick with Marvin Gaye. | 2019-04-18T18:31:13 | http://www.intel9.us/2018/10/07/bloomberg-the-big-hack-is-it-true/ |
Washington DC Metroplex Hub for Cybersecurity Startups?
This is rapidly changing, however, and the development is worth watching. Seed stage investments, in particular, have gotten bigger and more numerous, in part because more of them are focusing on developing cybersecurity and data science products for the commercial sector, wherein lies the real growth potential. Servicing the federal government is not a recipe for impressive growth.
Over the past three years, commercially-focused cybersecurity and data science startups have exploded in the greater Washington D.C. region, which includes parts of Maryland and Virginia. This is a noteworthy transition – one representing a budding cybersecurity and data science startup ecosystem. It is entrepreneurs who create most of the jobs in America. And technology companies overall grow faster and pay employees better than many other industries. If the Washington D.C. metroplex shows the way, it could become a guidepost for other areas and help catalyze the successful creation of additional cybersecurity and data science startup centers elsewhere.
According to PitchBook, 145 cyber startups in Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia were financed in 2017, an increase of 15% over 126 in 2016 – and, most striking, an increase of 53% over 95 deals in 2013. The average investment per deal was $2.13 million – a respectable amount for seed-stage deals — and this figure is up from $1.5 million in 2016 and only $1 million in 2013.
A growing number of startup employees today come from the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland, which has roughly 130,000 employees who also work for entities such as the U.S. Cyber Command and the Defense Information Systems Agency. More of them are being tempted by the opportunity to start a cybersecurity business or join one on the ground floor with equity participation.
As a group, they also bring a substantial advantage to cybersecurity and data science startups: Unlike the case in Silicon Valley, many of these pros have experience in “offensive,” as well as “defensive” cybersecurity, and at the highest nation-state level. This reflects the reality that defensive measures alone are inadequate.
The region already has bragging rights as the home of successful cybersecurity startups. In 2013, Cisco bought Maryland-based Sourcefire for $2.7 billion. The same year, FireEye acquired Virginia-based Mandiant for $1 billion. Promising and mature startups in the area today include Tenable, Sonatype, Dragos, TaaSera, Cofense, Lookingglass Cyber Solutions, Enveil, Distil Networks, ThreatConnect and ReFirm Labs.
The Washington D.C. metroplex is hardly the first region to try to become a startup job creation machine, epitomized by Silicon Valley and, to a lesser extent, Boston. Other cities that have pursued this goal include Austin, Chicago, New York, Seattle and Pittsburgh.
In addition, as cybersecurity has stepped to the forefront as one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, state governments and pro-business groups in Texas, Florida and elsewhere are positioning themselves to try to attract venture capital investment. Some are even commissioning impact studies, developing tax incentives to attract companies to their regions and in select cases investing in cyber startups with money from state coffers. They are also crafting academic programs for public universities in hopes of generating the next crop of skilled cyber pros poised to make a good living and stay local.
So far, however, only one city has truly developed a new technology-oriented startup ecosystem – Austin, where more than 200 technology startups last year attracted $1.2 billion in venture capital. The other cities have made some progress, but nothing like this, because it is a daunting task requiring the creation of a strong and multi-faceted startup ecosystem, mostly from scratch.
What Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia have going for them — and other regions do not — is an unusually large bank of cyber talent The area has more than three times as many cyber-related engineers as the rest of the country combined, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Increasingly, more young talent is leaving the government to help startups solely focused on the commercial market.
To be sure, ingredients are missing from the area’s cybersecurity ecosystem, including operating talent and what is known as “relevant capital.” Operating talent refers to entrepreneurs who have demonstrated expertise and leadership skills in the commercial cybersecurity and data science industry. Relevant capital refers to venture capital firms and other investors with experience in building cybersecurity startups focused on the commercial sector and the resources to do so again.
Nonetheless, the area has the tools to continue increasing its cybersecurity startup growth trajectory, at least for a while.
One bright spot is the University of Maryland, which boasts one of the best cybersecurity programs in the country.
In other recent developments, startup BlueVoyant – a provider of advanced threat intelligence and managed security services – has announced the establishment of a global cyber analytics center in College Park, Maryland, which will initially employ 25 analysts and data scientists. In addition, Washington. D.C.-based Lavrock Ventures has just announced the closing of its first $25 million fund to invest in early-stage startups at the intersection of enterprise software, cybersecurity and national security.
To develop a serious and self-sustaining cybersecurity ecosystem, the Washington D.C. metroplex needs more help from the government of Maryland and more capital. It needs more prominent cybersecurity startup winners as well. But things are moving in the right direction, and success begets success.
In addition, no small plus is that the global demand for cybersecurity goods and services keeps growing at a rapid pace in an industry in which change is the only constant. There is plenty of room for additional, high-value cyber startups, and metropolitan Washington D.C. hopes to be among the nation’s major contributors. | 2019-04-21T06:24:04 | https://www.lookingglasscyber.com/news/washington-dc-major-hub-for-cybersecurity-startups/ |
What do the other "creditor" states think of debt-pooling? It seems unlikely that Finland, Austria, and the Netherlands would go for it.
The Dutch PM has stated publicly that he will veto it even if Germany does a 180. The Finns will demand collateral for the risk they take. So summarised you can take that as a no.
What the media largely miss is that this is about paying and everyone has to agree with it. No majorities, even qualified ones, simply unanimity. It is hardly important seen from that angle what Italy and Spain as biggies think as they are de facto not payers (but receivers).
Another point is that Merkel has simply no room. Highly likely it is simply unconstitutional in Germany.
She also will not risk a referendum on it. Seen the polls that would most likely simply kill Merkel politically as well as the complete Euro rescue. With 80% against and only 10-20% pro it is hard to see how Merkel could survive that and how any German government could credibly still go for bail outs.
This all was simply a complete failed strategy. Totally unlikely to have any effect only a waist time. Sp, Fr simply didnot have a clue about the priorities of the people on the other side of the table (while reading a German newspaper could have given them that). Simply sloppy negotiating/preperation.
Another point: come together only with the biggies before the meeting and expect Holland, Finland, Austria to come up with several Billions is also unbelievably stupid to say it friendly (Sarko made that mistake earlier as well but saw it lateron and changed it and paid much more attention to the small AAAs). The new French guy is simply repeating this early mistake (so looks more like a blunder now).
Your message (the last two paragraphs in particular) leaves me kind of speechless.
To me it seems that the people in charge are a bunch of morons if they expect the smaller AAA countries (and Slovakia) to foot the bill without even talking to them BEFORE the summits and without any sense about was is going on in these countries when it comes to the Euro.
ps: Is Open Europe going to cover the upcoming elections in the Netherlands?
This debt pooling is a joke. For a start, Germany already has a national debt similar to ours in proportion, but much bigger: 2 Trillion. But all these efsf and esm 'funds' do not exist. All the indebted nations promise to chip in, to reduce other undebted nations with lower interest rates, but have to borrow to do so at higher rates. Go to your bank and ask for a loan: when they ask for security, ask them for a further loan to secure it, Hahaha.
b) the real money has to come from the smaller AAAs.
My mother always says you catch flies better with honey than with vinegar. You should simply give them the impression that they are important and their ideas count.
Merkel/Germany have frequent pre-summit meetings with the smaller AAAs, and especially Holland. Last Wednesday for instance), when it was made clear that Merkel's definition of political union was a completely different one from the one most Anglo-Saxon /International media are giving of it.
Dutch election (I think Open Europe will cover it especially when it could become interesting) Open Europe usually covers the main events. And much better than nearly all other media give a lot of attention where attention should be paid. A lot of other media give a new idea of Barroso a lot of coverage (while it is likely to be dumped) while developments with the real decisionmakes are neglected (mainly because they are not in English). Look at Rompuy's plans all over the papers, while Merkel's remarks and the German parliamentary discussion had hardly coverage although considerably more important. It is at the end simply:'Who pays the piper...'.
In Holland anti-Euro (and very Euro-sceptic)parties are now at roughly 40% in the polls and the trend is rising.
Also the main government party (VVD) has to move more to the anti-Euro block, because the party that is likely to pick a lot of its usual votes is simply anti-Europe and campaigning on it, (Wilders).
Same story but in a lighter form on the left.
The middle block however is stil pro bail out. And likely to win the majority. However it consists out of 6 parties I believe , from the right liberals on one side to the Greens and rather old fashioned socialists on the other. No natural coalition-partners.
In my idea the next bunch of measures likely will be approved by a new Dutch government. But it is difficult to see something like Eurobonds or massive bankguarantees being approved a considerable majority is against and spread over all major mainstream parties but 1 or 2 (and Holland has probably more than 10 in parliament).
Rik, thanks a lot for your answer.
I totally agree, that mainstream mediae even here in Germany have been doing a pretty bad job since the debt crisis hit center stage. To me this seems to be pretty symbolic for the lack of an european public society.
Thanks again and I'm looking forward on your take on the results (or the lack of) of the EU summit. | 2019-04-24T16:36:48 | http://openeuropeblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/merkel-comes-out-swinging-against-debt.html |
Our Climate is a grassroots organization dedicated to empowering the generations most affected by climate change to advocate for strong and equitable climate policy. We believe putting a price on carbon is a critical step to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and we are educating and organizing young advocates across the country in support of the policy. Our Climate co-leads the national Put A Price On It campaign, with the National Geographic series Years of Living Dangerously.
States often serve as laboratories of democracy, and state-level wins have historically paved the way for groundbreaking federal legislation. Massachusetts is one of several states currently considering carbon pricing policy, which provides an opportunity to demonstrate the potential for effective, bipartisan climate action. In collaboration with state and national partners, we are empowering the next generation of leaders in Massachusetts to energize grassroots efforts and get the policy over the finish line.

Image of flag. Source is not given.
It's not clear to me which flag is being identified here - it could be the green flag with a blue map of Tibet on the front of the podium, or the Tibetan flag with the yellow stripe along the bottom, or the elaborate banner behind the speaker. Follow-up from previous message - a subsequent message shows only this flag, and in different lighting it is green on a yellow field.
I think the said flag must be the yellow with green Greater Tibet map. The flags on the right wall and on the staff are just the usual Tibetan flags. And the banner on the background is a thangka, a religious painting.
Concerning the green map, it shows the areas inhabitated by Tibetans, and which are therefore claimed by the Tibetan administration in exile. This cultural Tibet is bigger than both the actual Tibetan Autonomous Region and the former Dalai lama-ruled Tibetan territory. Some small territories in the East may have been lost to the Sichuan or Qinghai province, but for the most part these two areas were identical.
The correct name is Tibetan Youth Congress. | 2019-04-23T03:09:49 | https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/xt_tyc.html |

As you may have noticed, I posted several looks by Salvatore Ferragamo and Zegna, who I think have done the best job for this years fall fashion edition in Milan. I love the vivid colours, the choice of materials and obviously the cuts. Those Ferragamo jackets are simply amazing. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed Roberto Cavalli''s and Dolce & Gabbana's collection, who - in my opinion - embodyed the "Italian Gentleman" in a perfect way. On the contrary, some of my favorite labels, e.g. Prada's collection have completely disappointed me. Apart from that one look I posted, I personally think that Prada hasn't been able to transmit any warmth, class or excitement throughout most parts of their collection. You can check out Prada's entire collection here.
All in all, I haven't been excessively overwhelmed by the fall collections of our favorite Italian labels. But I can see that there is a strong trend back to oversized trousers and bright colours, which I gratefully welcome. Considering Ferragamo's and most of the other label's collections, I can see it's going back to masculinity and away from metrosexuality. Thank god. So please, dear readers, tell me what you think. | 2019-04-25T02:41:38 | http://www.pipesandsneakers.com/2011/01/mens-fall-fashion-2011-milan-fashion.html |
The internet is saturated with articles about why you should be “creative” when it comes to marketing. You’re told over and over again to think “outside the box.” However, very few of these articles actually give you concrete ideas with practical instructions to work from. This is like telling someone to go fishing to feed their family but not teaching them how to fish!
By the time you are done reading this article, you will have several unconventional marketing tactics that will enable you to quickly create a plan of action and start implementing this plan within one week! Best yet, these unconventional marketing tactics will not cost you any money! Yes, they are free!! That’s the beauty of creative gorilla marketing! On the other hand, these free unconventional marketing tactics have been tested in the real world and they can definitely increase your sales and help you garner new loyal clients.
Have you ever wondered where the expression, “think outside the box,” comes from? The history is very interesting and serves as another good example of a very useful tip we gave you in our “Reinvent Your Marketing With Innovative Subtlety” article.
For marketing ideas and inspiration, scan the titles and abstracts of psychology journals! You can check out the new ones as they come out and spend time perusing the archives that go back for decades.
The popular expression, “think outside the box,” originates from a classic psychology experiment performed in the early 1970s that was based on an old puzzle originating in the 1800s. The experiment proved how hard most people find it to break away from established thinking to find solutions that should seem obvious. It also shows how the mind can have mental fences as strong as any physical fences.
The participants were presented with a puzzle called the nine dots puzzle. It was simply three rows of three dots arranged like the squares inside a tick tack toe puzzle. The participants were then told to connect all nine dots using only four straight lines and without lifting their pencils from the paper. These were the only instructions given.
All of the participants began trying to solve the puzzle by drawing four lines within the imaginary square box containing the dots. Only after a long time did twenty percent of the participants realise that they would have to draw OUTSIDE THE BOX in order to solve the puzzle. Most of the participants, the other eighty percent, never solved the puzzle. This is how the expression was coined, you have to “think outside the box” to solve the puzzle. The term was popularised by Mike Vance, a well known motivational speaker.
Of course, after the participants were shown the solution, it seemed obvious to them. In fact, they thought that they SHOULD have thought of it and wondered how they could have missed something so obvious. This type of thinking is what led to follow up experiments in the 1980s that revealed something even more interesting.
In the new experiments, two groups of participants were shown the same nine dot puzzle. One group was given the same instructions as the original experiment. The participants in the second group, however, were also told that the solution to the puzzle would require them to “think outside the box.” Still, however, only twenty-five percent of the second group was able to figure out they needed to draw the lines outside the box to solve the puzzle. This was only a five percent increase from the original experiment!
What have psychologists drawn from this?
Just telling people to “think outside the box” doesn’t mean that most of them can break away from established thinking and actually do so. It doesn’t mean they can come up with unconventional solutions just because they are asked to do so, even when those solutions may seem obvious in retrospect!
That’s why just telling people to “think outside the box” and be creative when devising their marketing strategies doesn’t work for most people.
Most people need more direction than that. They need practical examples and detailed instructions to help them follow through.
Below you will find THREE unconventional marketing tactics that anyone can do… and do for free! Furthermore, these unconventional marketing tactics are almost guaranteed to either increase your sales or steer you to new clients.
Please note, even though you are not being asked to come up with your own “out of the box” ideas, you CAN and SHOULD put your own spin on the three ideas below so you make them your own and tailor fit them to work for your specific business.
We’re going to tell you a “secret” that people who organise community events get let in on as they work in the trenches and attempt to spread the word about the work they are doing.
Most newspapers, and many other print publications, are grossly understaffed and simply do not have enough staff time to write enough articles to fill their papers and publications with engaging material for their readers!
When someone submits a story to them, already written and ready to go, they will very often publish it word for word or with only slight editing!
Yes, it is possible for you to write a story, submit it to newspapers and other print publications, and have a reasonable expectation that it will indeed get printed just as you write it or very close to it!!! In fact, you often end up with a very grateful editor who will be more than happy to accept and print more stories from you in the future!
WOW… sit back, take a deep breath, and let that sink in for a moment!
Think about how this could potentially be used to market your business.
Are your wheels turning now?
Before you get crazy excited and start thinking you can submit press releases containing blatantly hype about your business and expect to get these printed, this is NOT what we are talking about here! You will need to be much more finessed in your approach for this unconventional marketing tactic to work… and work well. However, once you fully understand how to do this, and you try it once or twice, this can be a source of very effective free marketing you can go back to over and over again!
This well never runs dry!
And… it does not cost a cent!
Okay, let’s look at the details on how to make this work.
First, before you do anything else, you need to put yourself in the mindset of the editor. What is he or she looking for in terms of a news story? To answer this, what types of articles are you drawn to in newspapers and other publications? What articles are other people you know drawn to? What type of articles are really memorable? What type of articles make you smile and give you that “feel good” kind of feeling? What titles grab your attention?
The articles you submit need to be of high perceived value to the editor and to the readers of the newspaper. They need to have a good headline, a good hook, a good story, and some interesting details without including so many details they make the reader’s eyes glaze over. Keep in mind that newspaper articles are often read before people finish that first cup of coffee!
The write-up you submit CANNOT be an advertorial masquerading as a story!!
In other words, it cannot be something that a reader would view as thinly disguised advertising. It cannot hype your business in an obvious way.
The article you submit MUST be written in THIRD person, not first person. This is very important so let’s look at an example so you know for certain what we mean.
Let’s suppose that you and some of your staff have volunteered to serve as chaperones for the high school debate team as they compete in an out of town regional debate contest. Suppose the team would not have been able to go without a certain number of chaperones accompanying them due to a school policy and they were having trouble finding enough chaperones. You could write up a short story about trip and how the students did in the debate contest. You could also perhaps add a bit about an extracurricular activity they participated in or other interesting details. You could also include a small bit about how at the last minute, staff from your company, the XYZ Company, filled in as chaperones so the students wouldn’t have to cancel their trip. If you run a business that includes business mentoring, inspirational speaking, or some other related field, you can write a brief blurb about this as well but take care not to make it a blatant ad for your business.
Okay, now that we have a specific example to work with, let’s talk about the difference between first person and third person… and why you should NEVER use first person and ALWAYS use third person in the articles you submit to editors.
You would NOT want to say something like, “We decided to fill in as chaperones when we found out last minute through Facebook the students were going to have to cancel their trip if they couldn’t find three more chaperones. We also felt it was a good match for us because we coach business owners on how to improve their public presentations.” The sample above is written in first person and it would never be accepted by an editor. Words like “we” and “I” are first person and it shows the reader that someone from XYZ Company is writing the article. This makes it SOUND LIKE an advertorial masquerading as a story and no self-respecting editor is going to accept this as written because their readers would not appreciate reading a story that sounds like an ad. Moreover, the vast majority of newspapers simply don’t have enough staff time to devote to revamping your article written in first person into an article written in third person.
Remember… the fact that newspapers don’t have enough staff time is your KEY advantage and the reason this unconventional marketing method works… newspapers and other print publications are notoriously understaffed, and with the limited staff they have, there just isn’t enough hours in the day to fill their newspapers with really good material for their readers. If you serve pre-written engaging material on a silver platter to the editor (and it doesn’t sound like an ad for you business), they can very quickly scan it, approve it, and run with it… and they’ll be grateful for it!
And… you’ll get FREE advertising from it!
Do you see the difference? Do you see how we snuck in a nice plug for your business?
The second version sounds like a third party person wrote the article, not someone trying to hype their own business, but you STILL get free advertising out of it. This is how you should always write articles submitted to newspapers and other publications. Never use the words “we” or “I” unless they are inside a direct quote from someone who is not affiliated with your business.
Remember, if an editor sees immediate value in what you submit, they will often print it verbatim or close to it IF AND ONLY IF IT REQUIRES LITTLE TO NO EDITING.
TIME! There are only so many hours in the day. If they are understaffed, as most newspapers are, they simply don’t have the staff hours to do much more than scan your write-up, approve it (if they see it as valuable to their readers), and print it.
On the other hand, if you save them time by providing something well written, in third person, that only subtly mentions your business in a positive way, you’ll probably make a friend who will print more write-ups for you in the future.
Now, what about other publications?
We’re not talking about national publications. They are a totally different animal with a completely different set of rules. We’re talking about the “freebie papers” and “freebie publications” that you see in the communities your business serves. If you look in the front or back of these, you’ll find the editor’s name and usually an email. If you don’t see an email, call the papers and get one.
Now, let’s talk a bit more about how to finesse this tactic to make it more successful. The approach you take with the editor is key.
You should approach the editors very casually. Do not be formal.
You do NOT want to say you are submitting a story you hope they will publish. This is too formal and sets the wrong tone.
You do NOT want to say you are a writer submitting a story for their consideration. This is also too formal and sounds like you are asking them for something rather than giving them something.
You do NOT want to say you represent XYZ company and you are submitting a story about blah blah. Again, this way too formal and they may even suggest you pay them for an advertorial!!!
I think your readers may find this interesting. Below is a little write-up and I’ve attached a great photo.
Then paste in your write-up in PLAIN TEXT (no bolding, underlining, fancy fonts, no html, etc). It’s important to use plain text so they can simply forward it to the right person who can do a simple copy/paste into their program.
Don’t send the write-up as an attachment because that would take extra steps and time on the editor’s part. You want to get them reading it as soon as they open the email.
If you use a word processor like Word to write your article, save it as PLAIN TEXT before you paste it into the email. This will ensure it doesn’t show up with strange formatting or funny characters in whatever email program the editor is using.
Notice that we didn’t try to “sell” the story in the introduction. You do not need to do this, and in fact, may be a turn off to the editor if you try. Let the write-up speak for itself. Even if it is sensational news, you do not need to say so in your short introduction. The editor will figure this out when he or she scans the write-up…. and it’s very important that THEY reach this conclusion rather than you tell them so.
Be sure to include a captivating but straightforward headline at the top of your write-up.
Do not put the name of the writer or ask for a byline. It will likely be printed with no name or simply “staff.” If you ask for a byline or put a name, your chances of having them actually print it will go way down. Getting published is not the goal here.
Note too that you should keep the introduction very brief, as we did above, so you ensure they can read it in only a few seconds. You don’t need to give them any details in the introduction because the write-up will do that.
If you don’t have a great photo, that’s okay. You can submit a story without one. Don’t just submit a photo for the sake of submitting a photo. In the example given above, a picture of the kids smiling after winning their debate contest or one taken during their debate contest would be great. Local papers LOVE to publish pictures of local kids succeeding because there’s always good sentiment in the community for this and it draws readers in and generates some buzz for the paper too. Pictures of animals and seniors are also very popular.
As tempting as it may be sometimes, you should NOT submit multiple photos. Keep it simple for the editor and submit only one. Remember, you are trying to make this easy peazy for the editor!
If you are not a great writer, get someone else to help you. A poorly written story is not going to get printed. However, that being said, you don’t have to be the world’s best writer to write a newspaper article. Also, even if you are a very good writer, try to get someone else to read your article before you submit it and ask for their honest feedback. A subordinate worker may not be the best choice for this because they may hesitate to tell you the full truth about what they think. Pick someone who has no qualms about being brutally honest. If you have never approached a particular editor before, you may want to get multiple opinions before you submit to them the first time. First impressions really matter here.
Do you sell homemade dog sweaters, raincoats, etc? Why not put together a doggie fashion show with a menagerie of pooches and invite some of your favorite customers, friends, and family. You could also do this in a public space like a park where you’d draw random people in as they pass by. Then you could submit a write-up about doggie fashion show written in first person and simply mention that all the sweaters and raincoats were made by XYZ company! You should be able to get quite a photo out of this one! You might also want to put something in the background with your URL on it so it will show in the photo but be subtle about it or it will look like an ad.
Do you run a vintage clothing shop? You could do a small fashion show featuring different time periods and have the attendees vote on the best costume.
Do you own a plumbing business? Volunteer to give a demonstration on how to fix a running toilet to one of the local civic clubs. Bring a (clean) toilet in and have someone take a great photo from the back showing the crowd and you in the front with the toilet. Now there’s an image people will remember! You could also use a bit of humor in your write-up too for added interest but don’t go overboard.
Do you sell solar panels? Arrange a free solar tour for one of the local PTA groups (parent teacher associations) of some of the homes and or businesses you’ve set up. Get parents and kids alike on the tour. Ask for quotes as people see the solar panels and talk with your customers and then include a couple of the best ones when you do your write-up. Make the write-up more about the advantages of solar and about the tour and just mention your company name as the organiser of the tour and the supplier of the solar panels. You could potentially quote yourself to demonstrate your expertise but don’t make it sound like an ad.
The possibilities are literally endless when it comes to creating your own stories that you can then write-up yourself, get a great photo, and then submit these to the editors of newspapers and other print publications.
This is an unconventional marketing tactic that never stops giving.
This unconventional marketing technique will work great for many service oriented businesses such as accountants, website designers, graphic artists, photographers, musicians for special events, landscapers, seamstresses, or people who provides transportation or runs errands.
Here’s the basic idea. You offer your services for free to one or more of your favorite non-profits with the stipulation that they have to find a certain number of PAID clients for you. The number can vary of course, depending on how much time and work you give them.
The volunteers who serve non-profits tend to be tight knit group. They all know each other, each other’s spouses, each other’s kids, and each other’s friends. They also tend to be well networked into the community and passionate about helping their non-profit succeed. If you can offer one or more non-profits a free service that will help them succeed and fulfill their valuable mission, their volunteers will automatically become a loyal supporter of you, especially if they sense you truly care about their mission. They will also be willing to tap into their EXTENSIVE network to help you if the request is reasonable.
If is perfectly acceptable for you to approach the director or another key person at a non-profit and propose a barter arrangement where you provide a valuable service for them at no charge in exchange for them finding you a certain number of paying clients. So, for example, if you are a musician and they host public fundraising events, you could offer to provide free music at three of their events if they would help you find six paying gigs. If you are a website designer, and they need a new website, or an old website redesigned, you could offer to do this for them at no charge in exchange for them helping you to find three new website clients plus a small “designed and maintained by” link to your homepage at the bottom of their pages.
This is a completely underutilised method of unconventional marketing in part because people are simply afraid to ask for such an arrangement. However, once you do it for the first time, even if you are rejected (they might not need the services you offer), you’ll subsequently find it much easier to do. Further, most non-profits are grateful to get free services because they usually operate on such a tight budget and it means they can put what limited money they have into other much needed places.
This unconventional marketing method is also underutilised because people simply don’t think about doing it. We have gotten so far removed from the interdependent barter based society we once enjoyed in the 1800s. It was a time when people really knew how to help each other out. If a farmer broke his arm, neighboring farmers might plow his field for him and chop wood for his family. People might not have money to pay the doctor but they could make him a nice home cooked meal or fix his wagon wheel for him. There was something really genuine and personal in how a barter society worked and we have definitely lost something special in the largely capitalistic world we now live in. Bartering with non-profits is one way to get some of this back so you may actually get much more than marketing for your business out of the arrangement.
It is important that you pick the non-profit(s) you approach based on an admiration and respect for what they do. Don’t just approach a non-profit with this idea because you think they have the largest network or it’s the closest one to your office or home! You need to be PASSIONATE about their cause. You need to care about the people, animals, or places they serve and genuinely like the approach they take. Bartering is not like exchanging money for services. It happens on a very personal human level. It happens at the level of your heart and soul and their heart and soul you really need to approach it this way.
Let’s look at another specific example on how this could work. Suppose you love animals and there is a “no kill” shelter in your community where you and your family adopted a dog. Your kids always beg to stop by and see the animals when you pass this place. You help out when you can. Your spouse is pestering you about adopting another dog, or maybe a cat. Maybe you have several friends who have also adopted animals from this shelter and you are really impressed with how well they treat the animals with the limited resources they have. They take the dogs on walks. They play with the cats. You’re all in heart and soul! You like them and they like you.
You see they’re having a really hard time adopting out their older dogs and cats and you want to help them improve their adoption rate. You are a photographer, a web designer, and you know a good writer who can write fun and interesting bios for each animal. You offer to design special webpages for their older pets to help them get adopted faster and then maintain these pages. In exchange, you propose that they ask their volunteers to help you find some paying clients. Explain that you’d love to help because you truly support what they do but you also need to support your family with paying clients.
Finally, after years of neglect, left-handed eaters will no longer need to conform to a right-handed eating method when enjoying America’s favorite burger.
The ad then showed a huge graphic of a left-handed Whopper with arrows pointing out all the purported changes they were making to accommodate the left-handed eater. The lower bun was being modified to redistribute the weight so it would balance better in left hand. The sesame seeds were being redistributed in such a way as to reduce how many fell off during eating it left-handed. And… everything was rotated 180 degrees to give a better grip to a left-handed person.
The response was overwhelming! Burger King was stampeded by thousands of left-handed individuals who wanted to try the new burger made just for them and even more right-handed people who wanted to see for themselves what the difference was! Many of them specifically clarified that they wanted a right-handed burger.
Of course it was humorous ad but many people were totally convinced until the next day when burger King announced it had all been a big hoax to celebrate April Fool’s Day. As people laughed about it, Burger King made millions off this unconventional humerous marketing ploy and people are still joking about it today.
You can sell almost anything if you use the right blend of humor.
Do you remember Pet Rocks from the 1970s? People went ape crazy over them for about a year and they were one of the most popular holiday gifs ever.
In case you missed that eye-blinding psychedelic decade, or you were too stoned to remember, we’ll give you the 4-1-1 on Pet Rocks.
Pet rocks were the genius of a Gary Dahl who was the creative director of an advertising agency. He got the idea after hearing people in a bar complaining about their pets. He began to muse that pet rocks don’t need food or water. You don’t have to walk them or pick up their poop! And.. they never die on you! They can be your friend for life.
Pet Rocks sold like hotcakes. In fact, about 1.5 million were sold at around $4.00 a piece, making Gary Dahl a millionaire in less than a year. The rocks only cost him a penny a piece and the packaging and straw was dirt cheap as well so most of the $4.00 was pure profit.
Humor sells — case closed!!
Look for unconventional ways to use humor to market your products and or services. If you are not the type of person that is a natural born humorist, that’s okay. You can be the note taker. Put together a brainstorming group of your friends and family. Tell them they are your “humor consultants” and give them full authority to razz on your products and or services and give you the zaniest ideas they can think of. Bring in samples of your products or lists of your services for inspiration. If you have brochures or other literature, bring those along too. Show your humor consultants your website too.
Just like Gary Dahl had his inspiration while sitting in a bar hanging out with a bunch of people joking about their pets and feeding off each other, the social dynamics of your brainstorming group will generate plenty of humorous ideas for you. We are after all the funniest of the primates with the ability to crack each other up once the group gets going. The key to success is to keep your group happy with plenty of fun delicious food (make your pizza with traditional and weird toppings?), and maybe even make them a bit giddy with some special cocktails. Then let the ideas run wild!
We’d love to get some feedback and hear success stories on how these ideas work out for you! | 2019-04-25T00:48:39 | https://www.chancehoggan.com/reinvent-your-marketing-with-unconventional-tactics/ |

The PBS News Hour reported that Social Security beneficiaries will get no increase in their monthly benefits for 2016. This is because inflation was pretty much non-existent for 2015. Per PBS, the main cause of low inflation is gas prices. This is a bit ironic, given that the disabled and retired probably drive less than other Americans. So, while low gas prices are a boon they don't particularly benefit from, SSA recipients see a stagnant monthly check as a result of said low prices. All things considered, I am sure it is better to have no inflation and no benefit increase than to have run away inflation. But that provides only so much comfort. While overall inflation is low, some items have seen dramatic price increases. Think medical care. Which is precisely what the disabled and retired need more than most. To that point: the Medicare premiums for 2016 are going to go up. For most retirees, this will not be a big issue. Federal law prohibit a decrease in SSA benefits to cover increased Medicare premiums. But this leaves about 30% of SSA beneficiaries exposed to the higher Medicare premiums. For those unlucky folks, there will be an actual decrease in their monthly benefits. And all beneficiaries are going to feel the effects of the increased Medicare deductibles. If you add it all up, it sounds like almost all SSA beneficiaries are going to see less money in 2016. But, at least gas is cheap, right? | 2019-04-25T04:50:50 | https://www.ssdaz.net/looks-like-no-increase-in-benefits-for-2016 |

The XBR-65X930C from Sony is without a doubt one of the two or three best-non OLED 4K TVs on sale today. Along with its slightly larger cousin the XBR65X940C, it’s almost perfectly matched with Samsung’s JS9500 SUHD 4K TV model. What this means is that this is a 4K TV with virtually unmatchable 4K picture quality, exquisite contrast thanks to its HDR-enhancement technology and some of the best color rendering to be found today. In terms of color in particular, this TV may possibly be rivaled only by its cousin the Sony XBR75X9405C.
Coming with a 65 inch TV screen (as opposed to the 75 inch display of the XBR75X940C), the XBR-65X930C delivers a blend of intensely powerful high resolution magnetic fluid speakers, exquisite display technology and fully modern connectivity. Furthermore, as one of the two flagship TVs for the entire Sony 4K TV line, the XBR-65X930C, offers a pile of highly advanced and innovative new technologies like next-generation phosphor-enhanced Triluminos Color, HDR-compatibility, Full-array LED backlighting and some of the best 4K and HD image scaling and processing technology in current existence thanks to its X1 Processor engine.
In essence, except for LG’s 4K OLED TV models, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better 4K TV on the market if you look beyond the Sony XBR-65X930C (or its cousin the XBR75X940C).
Let’s begin with the heavily redesigned new smart TV platform of the XBR-65X930C. This comes to us courtesy of Android TV from Google and is something that this model shares in common with most of the other Sony 2015 TVs. Android TV offers a whole array of technologies that are aimed at maximal ease of use, interactivity and access to a massive range of apps and content features. This content could include 4K streaming video, HD and SD video and of course a pile of audio media that will sound incredible on this TVs massive speaker array (more on these later down). Furthermore, thanks to Android TV’s presence, users of the XBR-65X930C also get much easier access to the Google content network and its huge array of video, audio and app options.
Next up, the XBR-65X930C comes with a whole pile of image enhancement technologies that are what make it one of the finest 4K TVs on sale right now. These include Triluminos Display color enhancement, a beautifully powerful HD-to-4K upscaling engine and some of the best contrast on the market, contrast which is ready for HDR as of this summer’s firmware updates for this model –and the XBR75X940C. What also works in this TV to make these other technologies work even more intelligently for some superb precision is the XBR-65X930C’s X1 Processing engine, which is also used to power this TV’s amazingly good HD upscaling engine and to precision-tune brightness control in the TV’s full-array LED backlighting system.
And speaking of that LED backlight, it’s also an integral part of the XBR-65X930C’s brightness and nearly unbeatable contrast levels. The HDR-capability of this TV stems largely from the full-array LED backlight and also partly from some extremely sharp, precise contrast enhancing local dimming technology, which can reduce lighting almost down to the pixel level, creating a play of light and dark on the screen that looks nearly as good as what you’d find in an OLED TV. For an LCD/LED TV, this is one of the best compliments that can be given to it.
Finally, there is the sound system on the XBR-65X930C. The magnetic fluid speakers on this model are even better than the giant speakers on last year’s Sony Bravia 4K TVs and they have to be heard to be believed. This is one of very few 4K TVs on sale today that delivers a level of sound quality which almost eclipses that of its visual capabilities.
Bad is a word that an owner of the Sony XBR-65X930C would hardly know. This TV pretty much has it all and along with its nearly identical cousin the XBR75X940C sits at the very top of what Sony has come up with so far in 4K entertainment. With that in mind, the following minor deficiencies are nothing close to being deal breakers in a normal sense.
First of all, the TV is bulky. Sony has thrown the idea of minimalist ultra-thin design out the window and replaced it with robust power thanks to those giant side-mounted speakers. Thus, in exchange for some of the best TV sound in existence today, you get a design that’s several inches thick at the base and tapers up to a little over an inch of thickness at the top. Furthermore, in consequence, the XBR-65X930C is certainly heavy for a 4K TV of its size.
Another minor deficiency is the refinement of the Android TV smart TV platform. Android TV is definitely a winner but it still needs a bit more refinement to be as smooth and user-friendly as the webOS 2.0 and Tizen operating systems on the 2015 LG and Samsung models.
Aside from these two minor weaknesses, the XBR-65X930C is pretty much as ideal a 4K TV as you can get with today’s technology.
How can we not recommend the superb technology and design of the XBR65X930C from Sony. This 4K TV has the best of almost everything, works as well as or possibly slightly better than Samsung’s SUHD models and also costs almost $2000 less than its Samsung rival the 65 inch JS9500. Thought it is comparable to the JS8500. The XBR65X930C is an absolute winner for any serious home entertainment system.
As far as highlights go, we’ll start with the most visible and obvious of them all, the giant and incredibly powerful sound system that is the dominant physical characteristic of the XBR-65X930C and its cousins. Sony, at least for some of its best 4K TVs decided to completely break with the ultra-thin and minimalist lead taken by most of the other major manufacturers and simply take advantage of this liberation by giving buyers of this TV a sound system that’s virtually unrivaled. Even Sony’s own 2014 4K Bravia TV models with gigantic speakers don’t match the XBR-65X930C in terms of sound quality. This is because this year’s speakers are even better than what was available last year.
The new magnetic fluid sound system of the XBR-65X930C has been beefed right up to be better than ever before by offering four 12.5 watt speakers and two 20 watt versions all right inside the TV’s body. In comparison to the dual 10 to 20 watt setup most other 4K UHD models offer, Sony’s sound system is huge. Furthermore, this sound system is one of the few which has been rated so well that it’s actually good enough for compatibility with Hi-Res Audio playback, offering complete FLAC support and the capacity to play WAV files of as many as 96KHZ at 24-bit resolution. This is a level of sound quality you won’t find inside of almost any other non-Sony 4K TV.
Next up are the TV’s Android Smart features. These include a whole array of interactive capabilities like Google Cast support, compatibility with any networked Android device and access to the enormous Google content network, with its thousands of apps and other media resources. All of this is possible specifically because the XBR-65X930C comes with Google’s own Android TV technology.
On the other hand while the Android TV platform of the XBR-65X930C is a definite improvement over last year’s Sony smart TV platform technology, it’s also not quite as smooth as LG’s webOS 2.0 or Samsung’s Tizen operating system. As a whole it still needs a bit more fine tuning and streamlining to really be top-notch and we’ll be waiting for this in the next generations of Sony’s 4K TVs or maybe in updates to Android TV that come along down the line in this and other models.
Finally, moving into the strongest aspects of the XBR-65X930C, we hit the visual specs of this TV. We’ll cover these in greater detail down below but sufficed to say that they are highlights all by themselves. The core combination of Z-Tended Dynamic Range Pro, Triluminos Display color and the X-Reality Pro HD upscaling engine, all run with precision smoothness by Sony’s 4K Processor X1 chip technology, combine to produce levels of contrast, color richness and visual beauty that are so good, they almost look like 3D with native 4K content. Even HD content gets upscaled to spectacular new levels of clarity that beat even the incredibly impressive 4K upscaling of last year’s Sony Bravia TVs.
What we’d said about the XBR75X940C’s image quality also applies perfectly to the XBR-65X930C. It’s almost perfect. These two TVs take the bar for how good an LCD/LED display can be and raise it even higher than we would have thought possible previously. Even Samsung’s SUHD JS9500 flagship 4K TV just barely matches these two models in terms of overall quality and in some ways, the XBR-65X930C even beats its Samsung counterpart, particularly in color quality in our opinion. And as far as contrast precision and dynamic range go, the XBR-65X930C is, along with its X940C cousin, as close as LED/LCD can get to matching OLED technology so far.
The contrast levels and preciseness are something that have to be seen to be believed in this TV. Deep rich black level performance and response work spectacularly thanks to Sony’s fine-tuned manipulation of the full-array LED backlight panel and even very small, fine points of color and light can almost perfectly be outlined in a sea of deep dark tones in a way that’s only marginally inferior to what OLED can provide. LED/LCD TVs have a very difficult time of pulling this off and the fact that the XBR-65X930C can do that speaks extremely well of Sony’s engineering technology.
This model is, along with the X940C, one of only two Sony 4K TV’s with HDR capability thanks to its internal contrast enhancements and X-Tended Dynamic Range Pro technology.
Additionally, the XBR-65X930C manages to deliver a color gamut that is both very rich and also highly subtle when it needs to be. Triluminos Display is what’s mainly behind this massively augmented color range and Sony claims that their latest version of Triluminos color is 150 times better than it was in 2014’s Bravia 4K TV models. This is the case because Sony now uses phosphor technology to enhance the color spectrum provided by its LEDs and display instead of the quantum dot nanocrystal film technology used by Samsung. The effect created is arguably even better than that found even in Samsung’s SUHD 4K TVs, all of which come with quantum dot nanocrystal color.
In terms of connectivity, the XBR-65X930C comes with pretty much all of the usual characters for a brand new 4K UHD TV. You’ll get your standard four HDMI 2.0 ports, three USB ports and a number of audio and analog connectivity ports of varying usefulness. The HDMI connections on the TV are fully compatible with HEVC, VP9 and HDCP 2.2 Content copy protection, as is the TV itself for streaming content.
For internet connectivity, there is an Ethernet port and built-in Wifi, both of which will be crucial in delivering the full spectrum of web browsing and app-related smart TV features on the XBR-65X930C.
While nearly identical to its larger cousin the XBR75X940C in virtually every spec except for screen size, the XBR-65X930C costs much less for having shaved off those 10 inches of display space. Instead of retailing for $6,999, it’s going for $3,498.00 on Amazon.com right now. A comparable product that is about $1,000 less for the same size is the Sony x850C.
This TV comes with very, very little in the way of ugly baggage. Basically, it’s only real flaws are an Android TV platform that still needs to be refined further for truly serious smoothness and ease of use and a physical design that’s possibly a bit bulky and heavy for some users’ tastes.
Just as we said about the Sony XBR75X9405C, we can’t not recommend this virtually identical cousin of that latter model. The XBR-65X930C offers some of the best specs on the market as far as LED/LCD TVs are concerned and is easily a rival to Samsung’s JS9500 65 inch model, despite being a couple thousand dollars cheaper.
the x930c does not have fald like this review states. That is simply wrong. Only the 940c has it. Please get ur facts straight.
Seth is right, this is still an edge lit LED. Thought it has local dimming, it does not have full array local dimming. Only the 75″ version of the 940c does.
Only the 940C has fald. See above under “SPECS”.
Can anyone recommend a set of calibrated settings for the 55 x9305c. The colours out of the box look overly saturated. I had the x900c before and had to send it back as light bleed was awful on 3 models. The picture during the day was amazing though. This set just looks wrong with faces being too white, lacking definition and green red and blue renderings are just over the top. | 2019-04-21T12:28:52 | http://4k.com/tv/a-review-of-the-sony-x930c-4k-ultra-hd-120hz-3d-smart-led-tv-2015-model-xbr65x930c/?replytocom=4391 |

It is thought he was shot by himself or by an unknown enemy.
The 7mm Lefaucheux revolver was found 75 years later in a field near the village of Auvers-sur-Oise where the artist was staying - and investigators believe it was the weapon used to shoot him.
Drouot, the Paris auction house, are organising the sale in June and have estimated the rusting weapon's price at as up to around £50,000.
Forensics investigators have proved the gun dates back to the 1890s and have described it as the 'most infamous gun in the history of art' - because Van Gogh was only 37 at the time, and could have carried on painting for years.
It also explained in the statement that the gun was a 'low power' weapon, possibly explaining why Van Gogh did not die instantly.
The revolver going under the hammer in Paris was part of a 2016 exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam but this is the first time it's going under the hammer.
There were no witnesses to the tragedy, which took place in a wheat field or a barn in the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise, 20 miles north of Paris.
The single 7mm bullet did not hit any internal organs, and the artist was initially able to get back to his guest house, the Auberge Ravoux, where he smoked his pipe and chatted with his brother, Theo Van Gogh.
But doctors were unable to remove the bullet, and Van Gogh's last words were: 'The sadness will last forever'.
Van Gogh predicted he would have a longer life than he did despite his deteriorating mental health.
The weapon was found by a farmer in fields that Van Gogh loved to paint.
The fields were where he spent the last months of his life, and was displayed at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam up until 2016.
The farmer later gave the weapon to the owners of the Ravoux Inn in the village.
The family who own the inn are now offering it for sale.
It has belonged to the French family since its discovery.
Van Gogh's death remains a matter of historical debate, with some arguing that he shot himself.
Van Gogh, who severed his own ear with a razor in 1888, is buried in Auvers-sur-Oise, alongside his loyal brother, Theo.
Martin Bailey, a Van Gogh expert, said he though that the revolver is 'very likely' the gun used by Van Gogh, but says he 'cannot be certain'.
He added that he hopes it will be bought by somebody who is responsible and not be 'displayed as a gruesome relic'.
According from an accounts from Adeline Ravoux, whose parents owned the Inn, Van Gogh went to the inn for breakfast and dinner after working in the fields.
She said on the day that he was shot he returned to his room around 9pm clutching his stomach and told her father that 'he had tried to kill himself' when he asked him what was wrong. | 2019-04-26T14:31:56 | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6887737/Gun-Vincent-Van-Gogh-believed-used-kill-goes-hammer-50-000.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline |

When these kids found a wallet with over $700 in it, there was only one logical thing to do, return it to the owner!
Hayley, Ashley, and Regan were heading home from enjoying their summer in the park when they noticed something on the ground outside their neighbor’s house, and a surveillance camera captured the entire ordeal.
Without even hesitating, the Colorado kids went to return the lost item back to its rightful owner.
When they realized no one was home, the kids even left a message on the video doorbell for their neighbors to explain the situation.
Though doing the right thing is payment enough, the family hopes to get in contact with kind-hearted kids to thank them with a reward. "I have not met the kids, but I know my son is working on some kind of reward," Jamie Carlton, whose son lost the wallet, told Radio.com.
"I have talked to the parents and they are wonderful people, as you could imagine." | 2019-04-22T04:23:53 | https://kdkaradio.radio.com/articles/kids-caught-surveillance-returning-lost-wallet-more-700 |
Requirements elicitation process is important to guarantee the quality of software applications. In software engineering, requirements elicitation process has been taught by means of traditional methods. Games have been used to improve teaching of some issues in software engineering, but elicitation has not been the center of this way of teaching. As a way to deal with problems in requirements elicitation process teaching, we create in this paper "Communication and Traceability Game" and we summarize the results of applying this game to several groups of students.
Keywords:Requirements elicitation process, teaching by games, communication, traceability, active learning.
El proceso de educción de requisitos es importante para garantizar la calidad de las aplicaciones. Este proceso se suele enseñar, en ingeniería de software, empleando métodos tradicionales. Los juegos al interior de la ingeniería de software se vienen usando para mejorar la enseñanza de algunos temas particulares, pero el proceso de educción no se abordó hasta el momento. Como una manera de lidiar con los problemas en la enseñanza del proceso de educción de requisitos, en este artículo se propone el "juego de la comunicación y la trazabilidad" y se compendian los resultados de la aplicación de este juego a varios grupos de estudiantes.
Palabras clave:proceso de educción de requisitos, enseñanza mediante juegos, comunicación, trazabilidad, aprendizaje activo.
Software Engineering is a discipline that applies software development methods in order to improve the quality of the resulting software applications . One of the first stages of software engineering is the requirements elicitation process, which comprises requirements capture and transformation into software specs . Software Engineering teaching has been traditionally made by means of lectures and practical projects, as a way to practice the needed skills for this process . However, requirements elicitation process demands some skills of its practitioners, which are difficult to develop when is taught by traditional means . For example, "communication" issues are almost impossible to teach by means of lectures, due to the fact that they need big amounts of expertise in order to be used in an appropriated way in the requirements elicitation process. Something similar occurs to "traceability" issues, which are complicated even to the most experienced software analysts. Practical projects exhibit contradictions when used for teaching this kind of issues: they need analyst's experience to be properly conducted, but they are conducted in a simulated way by non-experienced students with learning purposes.
Some researchers in several fields of knowledge are proposing the use of games for improving the learning process. For example, in management, games like "beer game" and "beefeater" are proving to be effective tools to simulate the behavior of actors in some environment. In Software Engineering, games like "Problems and programmers" , "Requirements Game" , and "Consistency Game" have been used to teach some of the skills needed by the future software engineers, but they lack the communication and traceability component that is crucial for a good requirements elicitation process.
We create, in this paper, "Communication and Traceability Game", a special game that reinforces teaching of two of the most common problems in requirements elicitation process: requirements traceability and communication among stakeholders.
The structure of the rest of this paper is the following: in Section 2 we describe the notions of requirements elicitation process (focusing on communication, and traceability) and games for teaching, in Section 3 we present previous work in software engineering games, in Section 4 we define "Communication and Traceability Game", in Section 5 we summarize the results of playing the game in several groups of students. Finally, in Sections 6 and 7 we conclude and we present future work.
Software specs are the result of a carefully conducted process. In this process, called "requirements elicitation process", analysts interview stakeholders (people with some concern in the software development process) in order to gather information about the future software application . The gathered information is then translated into several diagrams, which reflect the needs and expectations of the stakeholder. Diagrams are intermediate products of the software development process, and they are representations of the required software application.
Requirements elicitation process exhibit problems like differences in the language of the actors of the process (stakeholders are domain experts while analysts are modeling experts), informal approaches to the information gathering process, and misconceptions of the stakeholder about the software to be constructed . These problems lead to a poor-quality requirements elicitation process, and they need to be solved if you want to build the software that stakeholders need.
According to Pressman (page 511) traceability is the "The ability to trace a design representation or actual programcomponent back to requirements". Traceability problems arise as a consequence of misunderstanding of information during requirements elicitation process and, consequently, can be related to communication issues of such process.
Huizinga showed some of the benefits of using games as a didactic method. Games are funny experiences, Huizinga says, and we can create complete simulated worlds by means of games. Some other researchers proposed games as a way to improve the teaching process. They explore the advantages of games for this process: the simulation of real experiences with safety and reality, with the purpose of reproducing the behavior of actors in the simulated environment, the reinforcement of knowledge by means of vivid experiences, and the power of funny activities to keep the attention of the players.
Traditionally, lectures and practical projects have been the preferred strategies for teaching software engineering . These strategies have proved to be useful to spread concepts and to practice technical skills, but the reinforcement of managerial and team work skills is difficult to achieve with such strategies. Games are non- traditional strategies, and they belong to an "active" way of practicing some skills .
Management is probably the most common source of games for teaching purposes. The "beer game" , for example, as described by Senge, recreates the world of inventory in order to permit simulation of the behavior of several actors belonging to this environment. In the same line of thought, the microworld "beefeater" permits to its practitioners to simulate the environment of rapid-food restaurants.
Related to software engineering, there are few game experiences. The first of such experiences is "Problems and programmers" , a card game for practicing software development issues. Other experiences are "Requirements game" and "Consistency game" , two in-class non- technological games for teaching the first phases of software development.
Despite the efforts ofthese games, communication and traceability are issues still untreated in teaching game experiences.
We try, with this game, to improve the teaching experiences related to requirements elicitation process and, more specifically, related to communication and traceability, two of the most important issues of such process. Next, we define the main features of the game.
The aim behind this game is to correctly finish (and within the lower possible time) a set of artifacts related to the development of a software application. In this case, the artifacts are three use case diagrams, one class diagram, and one graphical user interface. Also, the model behind these artifacts is the well-known youth card game Yu-gi-oh!®. We use this game because is easy to understand by young people, whom are the target practitioners of the game.
Game board: Is a spreadsheet of rows and columns labeled as we show in figure 1. The game board can be built in paper, carton, wood, or any other material.
•Use case diagrams: tokens can be actors, use cases, communication lines, and system boundary lines.
•Class diagram: tokens can be class names, sets of attributes, sets of operations, and association lines.
•Graphical user interface: tokens can be heading lines, monster zone cards, magic zone cards, hand cards, deck zone cards, and cemetery zone cards.
•Artifact specs: Are the finished drawings of the diagrams and the graphical user interface. These drawings are tailored to a board with similar cells to the figure 1. The five available artifacts for this game are shown in figure 2.
•Players are divided into 5-member teams. A captain and a leader must be identified. The rest of the members are recognized as co- workers.
•The physical location of the game must be organized as shown in figure 3. For every cycle of the game, the game director must place one of the artifact specs in the diagram zone. Tokens belonging to all of the diagrams are located into the store, in no particular order. Game board must be located into a desk between the captain and the leader of every team.
•At the beginning of the first cycle, game director puts the first artifact specs in the diagram zone and returns to their position in the game.
•The captains go to the diagram zone to see and memorize the artifact specs. Then, captains return to the desk and inform the leaders about the tokens needed to replicate artifact specs and their labeled positions in the game board. Note that, in the location of the captain, he/ she does not have visual contact with either the game board or the leader. Consequently, all of the instructions must be transmitted by voice. Captain can go to the diagram zone and return to give instructions to the leader whenever they need.
•Simultaneously, leaders give, also by voice, instructions to the co-workers, in order to gather all the needed tokens to finish the specs.
•Co-workers go to the store and take one token per trip. Then, they return to the location of the leader and give him/her the token. This process must be repeated until all of the needed tokens are completed.
•At their positions, captain and leader discuss the position of the tokens by using the labels of the game board cells. When the leader believes that the artifact specs in his/her game board are exactly the same than artifact specs in the diagram zone, he/she calls the game director to verify if this is true. If so, game director register the order of finishing the artifact specs. The cycle of the game ends with the order of all the teams ending this task.
•The game rules are repeated by four more cycles, changing the artifact specs in every cycle. The winner team will be that with the lowest average order to finish all of the artifact specs.
Results of playing "communication andtraceability game"
This game is a simulation of a real requirements elicitation process, because the way players drive the process of finishing the artifacts is similar to the interviews among analysts and stakeholders in order to specify software specs. Here, communication is represented by the information and the instructions that players say to each other. Traceability inside the game is represented by the capability of recognizing the same model on every artifact. As a consequence, the game is designed to reach two goals: prioritizing the importance of communication and understanding the main ideas behind the concept of traceability. The game has been played by two groups of people belonging to the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, as a part of the course "Requirements Engineering". Some of the features of the groups are summarized in table 1. The amount of players is still low (37 people) and the features of the two groups are still so similar, but we expect that this experience can be replicated in several environments to explore the differences with the current players.
(1) Please mention three aspects that you believe are fundamental on requirements elicitation process.
(2) What do you understand when we mention the word "traceability"?
The requests are related to every one of the mentioned goals of the game and they are intended to "measure" the features of the main concepts of the game. In this way, first request points at the importance of communication and the second one points at the understanding of the traceability concept. Answers to the first request are summarized in table 2. From this table, we can deduce the changes in the opinion of the players after the game. For example, the aspect "communication" mentioned as fundamental by 27% of the players before game increased its participation to 68% after the game. This change is probably due to the difficult situation that the players must affront during game, in which they could not freely communicate with their partners in the game and, consequently, they suffered delays in completing the diagrams. "Consistency", the second most mentioned aspect by players before game (30%), felt to 16% of the opinions after the game. This fact does not mean that this aspect has lower importance in requirements elicitation process, but it must be combined with other aspects like "communication". "Problem understanding" and "information clarity", the two most important aspects mentioned by players before game, after the game they were still important, but with a lower participation of the opinions. "Regarding" is a new opinion of the players after the game. This aspect seemed not to be important before the game, but the situations that players must go through the game were sufficiently convinced to suggest this new aspect as important to requirements elicitation process.
The answers to the second request were analyzed by a software engineering professor, in order to assign a grade mark from 1 to 5 depending on the quality of every answer of the players, perceived against the provided definition of traceability. In this context, the design representations are the use case and class diagrams, and the software component is the graphical user interface. Similarly, the requirements are the information and instructions provided by the players during the game. The results were an average grade mark of 1.6 before the game and an average grade mark of 2.7 after the game. This means an increment of 69% in the perceived grade mark assigned by a professor to the traceability definition. Note that grade mark average is still low compared to the upper value (5), but we must remember that the goal of the game is to improve the teaching experiences about requirements elicitation process, not to replace the traditional teaching of this issue.
Communication and traceability are two of the most important concepts of requirements elicitation process. These concepts have been traditionally taught by means of lectures and practical projects, which emphasize on technical skills rather than social and managerial skills. Following collaborative learning trends, common in several fields of knowledge like management, we created in this paper "communication and traceability game" and we applied it to two groups of Requirements Engineering students.
The results of the application of the game are promising because the practitioners of the game have reinforced the importance of communication among participants of the software elicitation process and they have clarified the definition of traceability. Despite of some difficulties experimented during the game application, we conclude that this game can be used as an alternative and "active" learning experience for complementing the traditional way of teaching software engineering.
Some work still has to be done in this area. For example, the way in what we select the main variables and elements of the game was completely subjective, linked to the experience of the author in requirements elicitation processes. Gaming is a good learning strategy to complement traditional teaching, but we need to create a more objective methodology to define the main features of the game, in order to improve the quality of the designed games.
Related to "communication and traceability game", we need to play the game with another type of players, for example people from the software industry, in order to compare the results with more skilled people in requirements elicitation process. It is important to note that this game is currently used in a special project with children called "science garden". The main goal of this project is showing several aspects of science research to children, and software engineering is one of the areas of interest of the project.
I wish to thank the work of three excellent students behind this game: Natalia Gil, Yudi Jiménez, and Hernán Soberón. Their support in conceptualizing and creating the game was crucial to the results of applying this game.

Jean-Pierre Filiu, historian and professor at Science Po (Paris), was asked by the Journal du Dimanche to comment the fall of Palmyra and Ramadi into the hands of Daesh.
How to explain this new thrust of the so-called Islamic State which we thought had been weakened?
In reality, Daech never stopped progressing. We do not understand, or feign not to understand, the dynamics at work. And, each time, one is overwhelmed, numb and shocked by what was absolutely predictable. As long as those who are supposed to fight Daech continue to play into the hands of Daesh we will go from bad to worse.
The idea that, in Syria, Bashar Assad can be considered as a bulwark against the Islamic state has just proved once again its absolute inanity. Not only Bashar did nothing to prevent the jihadists from crossing 200 km of desert routes, where there is not a blade of grass to hide, on their way to Palmyra, but it also seems clear that, precisely, he let do as the image of the fall of Palmyra serves his propaganda. To oppose Daech, we declined from providing support to those who could stand up to Daesh, that is to say the revolutionaries in Syria.
Yet, 500 Syrian soldiers died defending Palmyra …?
Yes, but during the Daech offensive against Palmyra, the regime’s air force made unprecedented bombing raids in the northwest of the country and not in the Palmyra region. For Bashar, the main enemy is not Daech, and for Daech, the main enemy is not Bashar. The clash of these two monsters has brought about this new tragedy.
How to prevent the Islamic state from seizing Damascus or Baghdad?
We reason in terms of a Maginot line against an enemy that is waging a war of this century. We believe in fixed positions while they think in terms of movement. Americans think in terms of stocks, they say “we have killed 1,392 jihadists”, while the jihadists think in terms of flows “in the meantime we have recruited 5,000 or 10,000 combatants.” And, we reason in terms of State, while Daech, and therein lies its main strength, broke completely out of the logic of the nation-state.
Is Bashar Assad really in trouble?
Today, he does not trust any of his compatriots, including Alawites. His close protection is ensured by Iranians. His only asset, except for the Iranian protection and for the unconditional support of the Russians, is the alawite existential angst.
What military forces remain at his disposal?
Out of 300,000 soldiers serving in Syria’s loyalist army, only remain 50,000 who make up the elite units. These units shall never fight in Palmyra or elsewhere because they were created to defend the regime. On the opposite side, Daech has no less than 30,000 heavily armed and experienced fighters. They also dispose of all types of Islamic Police auxiliaries. Most of the Europeans recruited bu Daesh swell the numbers of these auxiliary units which ensure the maintenance of order in Syria territory.
What about the so-called Army of Conquest, a coalition of rebels which includes the jihadists of Jabhat al- Nosra?
This is a new and real military coalition that is not intended to seize power. It is the result of an unprecedented collaboration since the beginning of this year between Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey. The big news is the great reconciliation between Qatar and the Saudi Arabia, which resulted in irreversible inroads into Idlib [Northwest], for example. In the background, their common enemy is Iran. | 2019-04-20T21:14:00 | https://middleeasttransparent.com/en/jean-pierre-filiu-daech-never-stopped-progressing/ |

More QUAKE Live news comes by way of the weekend’s rockin’ rocket powered fun. The theme is “Direct Rockets” and they’ll pack a hefty punch for a direct hit, and damn near squat for splash damage. The knockback has been boosted though, so things are going to get goofy out there. Check the following official blurb for details, and get on out there on those DevPick servers!
This weekend's DevPick is certainly a much simpler affair compared to last week. Based on FFA, everything still spawns as usual, but the Rocket Launcher has received one minor, critical change. Direct hits will do 300 damage, while splash damage will only do 1. Knockback on the weapon has been turned up, though, so you can really pop your opponent up into the air, or into a corner, before nailing him with a surely fatal direct hit.

Sometimes people build weird things.
Like this Moto Guzzi engined trike that caught my eye at Angela’s Picnic a few years ago.
I have to admit, it wasn’t the type of vehicle that would normally get my attention, but there was something appealing in it’s uniqueness. It wasn’t pretty either. As a matter of fact it was pretty ugly, yet it was one of those vehicles that would make most old petrol-heads do a double-take if you were into Morgan and other vintage British cars from yesteryear.
Now, I’m not really into Morgan cars, but I have a secret admiration for their racing accomplishments so I had a look at the car, snapped some pics and looked around to see if I could spot the owner.
So in a weird way this home-build jobby was a tribute to the Morgan cycle-cars of old. I take my hat off to the guy who built it. He must be a Morgan fan with passion for a marque that stood the test of time.
As a matter of interest, the Morgan Motor Company is unique in that it’s been building cars in England since 1909 and believe it or not, the company is still privately owned by the Morgan family and only three Morgans have headed the company since 1909, HFS, Peter and Charles.
Morgan started making four-wheeled cars in 1936 and has only built sports-cars since. These cars have always been very strong and light and have won numerous disciplines from hill-climbs, rallies and numerous class wins in LeMans over the years, but we’ll talk more about these Morgans with their wooden chassis and their pronominal racing achievements later. I’m actually a Porsche guy and I’m not feeling so good on the stomach right now. | 2019-04-23T17:51:40 | http://motoring-projects.blogspot.com/2009/06/moto-guzzi-morgan.html |

How your teeth look can affect your self confidence, and making the decision to straighten your teeth can be exciting and a little daunting. You may be excited about having a new, straight smile, but concerned about how you will look while your teeth are changing. At Haynes Dental & Implant Clinic we offer traditional fixed braces, but we also have options for near-invisible teeth straightening solutions. No-one will know you are wearing braces, so you can keep smiling even through treatment.
Here at Haynes Dental & Implant Clinic we offer the In-Line® invisible braces. In-Line® ‘invisible braces’ make it possible to correct teeth that are too far apart, misaligned or overcrowded. In-Line® braces are almost invisible, meaning teeth can be corrected without the need for unsightly metal braces.
Treatment is discreet too! At Haynes Dental & Implant Clinic we use a choice of clear ceramic brackets, to blend with your natural teeth, or near invisible removable aligners. These discreet options means your braces often go unnoticed. | 2019-04-22T10:36:31 | https://www.haynesdental.co.uk/treatments/teeth-straightening-treatment/clear-aligners |
Minding the Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a historical fiction novel set in 1662 Nantucket, examining the relationship between the whalemaster Captain Reynolds Macy and the likable, spirited protagonist, Daphne Coffin. Fisher’s writing is captivating, descriptive, and enjoyable to read.
I really liked the historical fiction aspect of the book, and I learned a lot about the culture of Nantucket Island in the seventeenth century. Daphne’s relationship with Captain Reynolds Macy is enjoyable to watch as it plays out, and their interactions are one of foundations that holds this great book together. Daphne Coffin is definitely a strong role model for girls, and Fisher wonderfully emphasizes the importance of faith and family. | 2019-04-19T02:27:03 | https://oaktreereviews.com/2018/07/27/minding-the-light/ |

Q: if a finally says "return", will the method return normally, leaving the uncaught exception covered up?
A: I think so. see earlier blogs. | 2019-04-22T16:23:52 | http://bigblog.tanbin.com/2007/05/rule-of-try-catch-finally-execution.html |

Deals don't get better than this but it will require you to do a little driving - probably.
Beginning Tuesday, December 4th, you can get Burger King's most famous menu item for one cent. This is not a drill. You can cash in on the deal by driving to a McDonald's restaurant first.
Yes, you heard that right. Burger King's "Whopper Detour" promotion requires you to head to their competition and pull up your BK app. Place your order from the parking lot and the penny whopper is yours.
You don't have to go through the McDonald's drive-thru and you certainly shouldn't try to order a Whopper while at a Mickey D's. You just have to be within 600 feet of one in order to cash in on the deal.
Once your order is placed, you will be routed to the nearest Burger King to pick up your meal. The promotion limits you to one Whopper per customer and continues through Wednesday, December 12th. | 2019-04-22T14:50:35 | https://b105country.com/burger-king-offering-one-cent-whoppers-for-a-limited-time/ |
I've spent the last couple of days at OpenDev. Here are some quick and dirty thoughts from the two days.
OpenDev is an annual event focused at the intersection of composable open infrastructure and modern applications. The 2017 gathering will focus on edge computing, bringing together practitioners along with the brightest minds in the industry to collaborate around use cases, reference architectures and gap analysis.
The gist of that is "get some people who may care about edge computing and edge cloud in the same room and see what happens".
As is often the case with this sort of thing: When talking about something relatively new there is very little agreement about what is even being talked about. People came to the event with their ideas on what "edge" means, ideas that didn't always match with everyone else. This can lead to a bit of friction but it is a productive friction; areas of commonality are revealed and presumed areas of overlap which are not are exposed.
Edge Cloud: A cloud (sometimes in single piece of hardware, sometimes not) that is closer (in terms of network latency or partitioning risk) to where the applications and/or data that could use that cloud is located. In this case a cloud is some compute, network, or storage infrastructure. VM or container agnostic. Orchestration of workloads on this thing happen on it.
Edge Compute: A piece or suite of hardware, often but not always small, which is closer to the consumer of the compute resources available on that hardware and where the applications on the hardware are managed in a composable fashion (for example a home networking device running its services as VMs). Orchestration of workloads on this thing happens from something else.
The locality of orchestration represents a sort of spectrum but there are also other dimensions. One example is the types of applications. One can imagine an edge service that is managing a bunch of virtualized network functions (VNF) for a customer of a large telco at the edge of the telco's network (between the customer and the telco). Or an edge service which does deep learning analysis of images with low latency for a mobile device doing augmented reality that does not have the compute capacity itself, but needs very low latency processing to provide a good experience.
The edge compute model is currently a poor match with Nova. High latency (or partitioning) between a nova-compute node and the rest of nova is not something that nova really does. It would be interesting to explore the idea of a remote-resilient (and maybe "mini") nova-compute.
In typical OpenStack fashion, the event resulted in a bunch of etherpads, a summary of which can be found.
My interest for the two days was to see to what extent the Placement service can help with these use cases or will need to be extended to cope with them. It's already quite well known that the NFV world is driving a lot of the work to make placement provide some of the pieces of the pie for what's called Enhanced Platform Awareness (aka give me NUMA, SR-IOV and huge pages). Until DPDK is able to provide a suitable alternative, VNFs at the edge will demand these sorts of things. Certain high performance edge applications (perhaps using GPUs) will have similar requirements.
Another concern for both styles of use case, but especially edge applications (cloudlets as Satya calls them) on limited hardware, may be scheduling needs related to the time dimension and to dynamic evaluation of the state of the hardware. Being able reserve capacity for a short time or use otherwise unreserved capacity during periods of intense activity will be important.
The Blazar project hopes to address some of the issues with time, something neither nova nor placement wish to address.
The nova scheduler has always had the capacity to represent dynamic aspects of host state ("Is my compute node on fire?") but it is perhaps not a consistently represented and available across deployments as it could be. Nor is it fully developed, so if it is something that people truly want there is an opportunity. The placement service made a design decision up front that it would not track data that may vary independent of individual workload requirements (e.g. temperature on a CPU) but scheduling has become a two step process: get some candidates from placement then further refine them in the nova-scheduler.
Edge looks like it is going to grow to become a major driver in the cloud environment. Hopefully continued events like OpenDev will ensure that people create interoperable implementations. | 2019-04-19T18:23:08 | https://anticdent.org/opendev-2017.html |

I've been meaning to do a tutorial for a while & this evening I thought I'd do a little colouring & share.
To begin with I like to use the darkest colour which is the Chestnut.
I have decided my light source is coming from the front so the middle of the bear is going to be catching the light.
Starting with his ears I have laid down chestnut in the areas I want the darkest.
Finally for his ears to get the cuddly look I have used very light circular movements over the whole ear with the blender pen.
Next I've gone over with terracotta. Can you see on this picture I've only gone over once so you can still see a vivid line of chestnut.
I carry on laying down terracotta along the edge of the chestnut until it has blended to my satisfaction, slowly bringing the terracotta to the middle of the face.
Again following the same principle for the face with chestnut, terracotta & the blender pen I have done the rest of the body.
For his mouth area I have used a little terracotta & apricot followed by the blender pen.
His nose is chestnut, his hands are just apricot with blender & his belly is blush with blender.
I hope this helps any newbies looking to get into colouring & anyone already using promarkers.
PS - Love to Blueberry.
Great tutorial, thank you for this. | 2019-04-18T16:19:43 | http://www.ellephantastic.co.uk/2012/07/promarkers-tutorial-cuddly-bear-with.html |
Natasha Gregson Wagner sat down with The New York Times for a rare interview about her late mother, Hollywood star Natalie Wood, who drowned off Catalina in 1981 while on a yacht with husband Robert Wagner and the couple's close friend, Christopher Walken.
Wagner, now 45 and the spitting image of her mom, is working with Wood's estate to release a signature fragrance in her honor called Natalie. It smells of gardenia, a scent Wagner said she has always associated with her mother.
"The smell is what I remember, the comfort of the smell," Wagner said. "I knew when she was home because I would smell her perfume. She would waft through the house."
In the story, she speaks of trying to deal with the loss of a parent for 30 years via therapy. One thing that hasn't helped is her aunt, Lana Wood's, theory that Natasha's stepfather Robert Wagner knows more about his wife's drowning than he has acknowledged.
Of whispers about Wood's death, Wagner asserted, "And even when I hear that stuff that my aunt creates and people call me and say, 'Oh, my God, I am so sorry,' I say, 'Don’t be sorry for me.' It’s literally like saying my dad has two heads or three heads. It’s so preposterous that I can’t even relate to it. It doesn’t even touch me."
The fragrance Natalie costs $95 for 1.7 oz. | 2019-04-22T16:49:09 | http://extratv.com/2016/03/20/natalie-woods-daughter-launches-fragrance-in-her-memory-rejects-aunts-claims/ |
The curtains - drawn wide open - see the rays?
With every sunset, the sun will rise again.
What a wreck made, plunging down to desolate.
What good would it be to abide in faithlessness?
And grant admission for the spirit of fear to enter.
How pathetic to allow misery a vicinity to inhabit?
Why succumb to what’s fallen short of splendor and light?
A sane soul, drunk by emotional woes….
A simple mind, complicated by doleful whines.
These shall never hurt- not now, not another time.

A small, landlocked country in West Africa’s Sahel region, Burkina Faso has a child population totaling over half of the nation’s 16 million people. Despite legislative and institutional efforts to protect children and to strengthen families in Burkina Faso, children are still vulnerable to violence, extreme poverty, and malnutrition, the last being a product of the region’s long dry season and cyclical droughts. A 2012 survey found that 1.25 million (or 37.8%) of children ages 5-14 in Burkina Faso are working to augment the incomes of their families. Each year, school attendance in some regions of the country tends to plummet after the dry season just before the new planting season begins. Although many international and national organizations work to support children and families, they often work in isolation; efforts to evaluate child-focused policy and program impacts remain limited.
The recently established Burkina Faso Program Learning Group (PLG) works to promote the professionalization and institutionalization of child protection and family welfare by facilitating linkages between policymakers, academics, and practitioners. Hosted at the NGO Terre des hommes, the PLG is affiliated with the country’s Child Protection Working Group, an inter-agency group overseen by the Ministry of Social Welfare and National Solidarity, and has established links with the Institut Supérieur des Sciences de la Population at the Université de Ouagadougou as well as to other research institutions. By creating the tools and evidence needed to measure success for children, the Burkina Faso PLG is raising the prominence of child protection and family welfare in the national development agenda.
At its launch workshop in October 2013, the members of Burkina Faso’s PLG established three learning priorities for a three-year period. First, the PLG is developing standardized child protection indicators for government and NGO service providers to integrate into national surveys and program design. Two other research priorities emerged: impact evaluations for child protection policies and programs and the exploration of endogenous child protection mechanisms. Two studies linked to the PLG launched in 2014: a multi-country assessment of social work training, undertaken at the request of the West and Central Regional Office of UNICEF, and a three-armed randomized control trial to evaluate the effectiveness of household economic strengthening on child violence and protection. That latter project is being undertaken as an initiative of the CPC Learning Network’s Livelihoods and Economic Strengthening Task Force, the NGO Trickle Up, and the University of Chicago. | 2019-04-22T18:06:54 | http://www.cpcnetwork.org/partners/countries/burkina-faso/ |

Most urban-dwelling aboriginal people believe their non-aboriginal counterparts see them in a negative light, a national study released Wednesday suggests.
The Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study, published by Toronto-based Environics Institute, was created from a survey of 2,614 face-to-face interviews with First Nations, Métis and Inuit adults from 11 different cities across Canada between March and October 2009.
A telephone survey of 2,501 non-aboriginal adults living in 10 of those cities was also conducted. | 2019-04-22T04:38:13 | https://uaps.ca/2011/02/16/negativity-mars-urban-aboriginal-life-study/ |

Given that today's 'baby status update' says, "baby is preparing to see the world after birth," I thought I'd post some photos of what baby actually will see...eventually.
The framed wall art is from Etsy.com - such a fun place to shop. For now, the bassinet is in this room, although it will end up in ours once the baby comes - it was a $35 find at the consignment shop yesterday. Between online merchants, craig.slist, and consignment shops, this nursery has been pretty inexpensive to put together.
Some days, I walk into this room and can hardly believe this is real. That a baby will come and live here. That I will end up in that glider some night practically crying with exhaustion but, I hope, also remembering the miracle it took to get me there. That someday, this baby will grow up and want me to take the cute alphabet off the wall because "it's for little kids."
Here I am, already resigning myself to my child growing up too quickly, while said child is still kicking me in the bladder. I blame the pregnancy hormones.
It's beautiful! I love the art work! It's so exciting and unbelievable all at the same time. And the word verification is sprog! Which in England means kid!
I think it's adorable that you can already envision what this little person is going to say about the room in the future. And I'm so glad to have someone else not finding out the gender! It did make it slightly more challenging to decorate since a lot of places are so specific!
It looks terrific! I've been following for a while (your updates are wonderful, btw), but wanted to congratulate you on the lovely nursery!
How beautiful! So many joyful moments you're going to have in there!
I laughed out loud about gliders being the minivan of chairs.
Mine are only a month old and I'm lamenting how fast they grow up, too. While wishing they'd hurry up and get to the sleeping-through-the-night stage already.
Thanks for sharing your room with us! I love it - love all the wall art and love that you got it all (almost?) second hand - not only inexpensive but great from a non-consumerist perspective. Yay!!
I love the "non-themed" baby room. It's perfect!! TFS the room with us.
Lovely room! I especially like the quilt on the crib, looks really cuddley and warm. | 2019-04-19T20:23:40 | http://babyinterrupted.blogspot.com/2010/08/nursery-update.html |

Clarke and Sons Butchers claims that the temperature of Preston Market led to the sudden closure of their stall.
The owners of the business also say they are not satisfied with how the new market has been built.
Preston City Council claim they were only notified of their sudden closure this morning (Monday, April 8) when they saw the stall was empty.
They say they were left "surprised and saddened" by the closure and "disappointed by the lack of communication."
Clarke and Sons Butchers are now in the process of relocating to another premises in Preston.
A spokesperson said: "As some people may have already seen we are no longer in Preston Market.
"We have decided to relocate. We should be open within the next couple of weeks PR1 area, [we] will confirm closer to the time the address.
"We have left due to temperature and we are not satisfied overall with how the new market has been built!
"Thank everyone who has shopped with us. We are still providing home deliveries [minimum] spend £20 - Preston area only."
Neil Fairhurst, Director of Customer Services and Interim Deputy Chief Executive at Preston City Council, has wished the business well in its future ventures.
Speaking of the sudden closure, Neil said: "We were surprised and saddened to discover upon opening the Market Hall this morning, Clarke & Sons had vacated their stall. | 2019-04-25T21:23:09 | https://www.lancs.live/whats-on/food-drink-news/clarke-sons-butchers-suddenly-close-16096272 |
I am a new owner of a 1975 TR-6 (carb and emmision). I owned a couple of MGB GT's back in the early 80s and managed to squeeze more out of them through simple breathing modifications. Of course I want more power and am pretty familiar on how to get there. My question to you is what are the top end revs on a bone stock engine. I find that 4k (on tach) is a push. Should I hook up another (coil fired) to check the acuracy of the mechanical or is this all this 6 has to offer in it's present configuration.
Alas, the good old pushrod six cylinder will not rev as high as a Honda 600 will be at idle!
With a bone stock engine, you'll probably find yourself out of the torque band and acceleration will start to diminish.
It will rev higher, but it won't go any faster.
Bob- No cracks @Honda 600s. I owned a cute yellow sedan.
You should be able to run it up past 5000 with no problem, but expect power to start falling around 5500. The redline on the tach is fairly realistic on these cars. With the long stroke they generate rather high piston speeds (~3500 ft/min @ 5600 rpm) at fairly low revs.
So the next question would be to determine if the tach is reading accurately or if your car has a problem. Hook up that coil fired tach, running the wires into the interior. Grab an assistant and go for a quick drive. Have the assitant compare the revs from the vehicle tach to temporary tach. If they match, then you need to start some diagnosis work on the car.
Thanks for the input. I will hook up a shop tach and compare. It may be a case of a little lube in the cable or something simple like that. Engine pulls well enough and sounds right although it does feel a little anemic. Oh well...which way to the slippery slope?
Don - I was actually refering to the Honda 600 motorcycle - those things scream.
Second owner Since 1977 of a Harley Davidson 1970 FX which does not rev very high but sounds great doing it..
but boy did that honda sceam.
I agree with SteveP about the power drop off - on the dyno, my output flattens out to level starting at 5500 and by 5800 is flat. It starts to drop slightly at 6000. My exhaust was built to be efficient at mid-range (for torque) and is noticeably better than stock between 3500 and 5000. I think the drop-off point at 5500 could be raised to 6000 (or more) with a set of tuned 6/1 headers and specialised flow work on the head, which is more of a true race setup.
A few guys here (apparently) run to 7000+ but these are not your average street engines.
At the risk of stating the obvious, the better balanced you are, the higher you can rev!!! particularly with our long strokers.
PS - I am a little more timid after recent events, but glad to say she still appears comfortable to 5750.
Footnote: I have also detected a noticeable improvement in my hearing!
I have spent quite a bit of time this weekend reading some of the related archives. It looks like I will start off stripping the emmisions equipment. I have a head on its way that I will modify and from what I have read....for the time being will keep the strombergs possibly rejetting them for the new head and and exhaust if needed. I am not looking for a dragster here. Just a little more performance as the car was intended. The car was performing to its capacity and the hung up tach was a bit decieving. I could here the engine working...Torque seems to drop of just after 4500 and the rest after that is noise.
Another thing, is with old Strombergs, the jets could be getting gummed up. If you remember, the mid-70's were the height of lack of performance due to emission restrictions, which usually meant that the engine was jetter real lean to begin with. If your six has been setting for long, gas residue could be leaning out your jets even more. Just a thought.
I must say, I'm not a racer, but I do enjoy going to Summit Point to watch others. And I like all cars, old and new. The new technology is amazing. It's great to see clean burning engines that have 300 to 400 horsepower, and IDLE smoothly.
Summit Point!!- Spent many a weekend there in the 70's Some I don't even remember! The best part was the winding approach road to the track. Don't know if it is still like that now. | 2019-04-25T23:54:13 | http://mg-cars.net/triumph-tr6-bbs/revs-on-stock-engine-2005032516373510541.htm |

Has anyone noticed the new speed restrictions that have been put in place along the Via Rapida in Madeira??
It seems the speeds have been brought down by 10kmph so the now maximum speed in some places on the expressway is 90kmph. You will need to watch the speeds as they vary along the expressway and fines will be given for anyone caught speeding, along with points I expect on your driving license.
If anyone notices the speed sign changes, or gets caught and fined for speeding and want to vent, then we are happy to hear from you.

Although Jesus had done no violence, and there was no deceit in His mouth yet it was the will of the LORD to crush Him (Is. 53:9-10). Why did the LORD do that? Why if Jesus was perfect, did God, as it says in 1 Corinthians 5:21, make Him who knew no sin, to be sin? Why would Jesus be on trial for trumped-up charges? It was “according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God” (Acts 2:23) so that all those who trust in Him might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21).
Isaiah tells us that Jesus’ soul will make an offering for guilt. And even though He dies, He shall see His offspring and His days shall be prolonged. The will of the LORD shall prosper in His hand (recall Acts 2:23). Out of the Jesus’ anguish, because He bares their iniquities, He makes many to be accounted righteous through faith in Him (see Is. 53:11).
And so, Jesus was silent before His oppressors, “He opened not His mouth” (Is. 53:7a; Matt. 26:63). He knew it was the LORD’s will that He bear the sins of many (Matt. 26:39). And so Jesus laid His life down willingly (Jn. 10:18).
so He opened not His mouth” (v. 7b).
In John Grisham’s book, The Innocent Man, he writes about a man who was falsely imprisoned for a number of years when later he was found to be not guilty. It is distressing for us to consider a situation like that. The system failed him. So how much more when we consider that the sinless Son of God, the truly innocent One, was sentenced to a tortuous death. And yet He did it to redeem us who are not.
Jesus’ death was “according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God” (Acts 2:23). Consider God’s premeditated love. God’s love for you in Christ is not an afterthought. If you are in Christ, you were not thought of at the last moment. Instead, God has had His affections on you since before the foundation of the world.
God, Your love and power and sovereignty are beyond what we can comprehend. We are amazed that You, in love, would send Your Son Jesus—the Innocent One—to die for us the unrighteous. We are amazed and we thank You. We thank You that You clothe us in Christ’s righteousness. Help us as those who have been declared innocent ones to live lives worthy of the calling to which we have been called. Amen.
Is. 53, for example, says that the Suffering Servant will be “stricken” (v. 4, 8), “afflicted” (v. 4), “wounded” (v. 5), “crushed” (v. 5, 10), “oppressed” (v. 7), “led to the slaughter” (v. 7), “cut off out of the land of the living” (v. 8), His grave will be made with the wicked (v. 9), and “poured out His soul to death.” So, it is clearly predicted that the Suffering Servant would died.
This seems to clearly foreshadow the resurrection. Notice too that in v. 12 He enjoys the spoils of what He accomplished through His sacrifice so He’s clearly not still dead. In fact, He lives and “makes intercession for the transgressors” (v. 12).
The legal system failed Jesus too. “The Jewish and Roman legal systems were not unusually bad—especially by ancient legal standards. These were two of the finest legal systems the world had ever known, and this is precisely the point. The hero of the Christian story was murdered by impressive legal systems, not transparently evil ones. Lest we think that it is simply an accident that one system of law failed, the Jesus story shows that even two legal systems working together and potentially correcting one another cannot ensure a just outcome” (David Skeel, True Paradox, 126). Ironically, the Just One was executed by two “just” Justices yet by His slaying justice shall soon reign (Is. 9:6-7). The religious and political leaders failed. Though, the Roman political leader, Pilate, was more just than the religious leaders. | 2019-04-21T06:18:04 | https://newcreationinx.com/2019/04/15/the-trial-and-mocking/?shared=email&msg=fail |

The jobs and occupations in the late 1930s to early 1940s reflect a time when ordinary citizens once again had to do the extraordinary to stabilize America. America was slowly digging ourselves out the Great Depression, women got a taste of life outside the home at their new careers, the military was doing their job to secure our freedom in the brutal World War II and the New Deal helped to lift many hardworking Americans from debilitating poverty. Propaganda was at its height, dictators were wielding their power to the greatest extent, marginalized populations suffered in containment or death camps which were used to suppress dissent and initiate mass murder. It was an interesting time indeed. Through it all, Americans sacrificed their well-being to work at jobs that were uncomfortable, grimy, mentally exhausting and physically taxing so that America could have a bright future. These photos, depicting the Great Depression and World War II, were generously provided by the Library of Congress. They wanted to spread awareness about the collection and educate the public about this time period, so there are no copyright restrictions. The collection was originally in black-and-white and produced by the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. But now the photos are digitized to reveal the actual color. As a result the pictures are definitely more realistic, detailed and striking. The overall collection that I obtained my photos featured the labor to support the war time effort, the lifestyle in rural America and the jobs in the farming/agricultural sector. You can check out the full collection, where I got these photos, at: Flickr-The Library of Congress and the 171,000 black-and-white photos at Library of Congress.

Now that we're living in a time where you need a degree in order to shuffle papers, it is pretty amazing to know that in the 1940s only 24.5% had a high school diploma. Many of the woman that became skilled technicians(positions and work that could help make or break the U.S.) were former housewives. I do value education, however these photos show that anyone can make a valuable contribution to society and I disagree with haphazardly blocking less educated people from opportunities. People with the right attitude, willingness to work and strong work ethic can prove that they are more than capable once given the chance. Just by putting people to work (yes even the unskilled because there is something called....training) America was able to rise out of the Great Depression and experience prosperity.

What great photos! Thank you for sharing these.
I'm glad you love them! I keep coming back to this post staring at them, lol.
@ Arlee Bird It is amazing what they've done with the photos!! That's so cool that you were there to witness and be a part of something so fun. I tried to choose a favorite...but I really can't. I do like the last photo a lot though.
Hi there, I believe your internet site may be acquiring browser compatibility troubles. When I search at your internet site in Safari, it appears good but when opening in Web Explorer, it's got some overlapping. I just needed to provide you with a speedy heads up! Other then that, great web site!
Thank you for the heads up! I guess the screens at my college must be huge because it looks fine to me on IE. I'll try to look at it on a smaller screen.
What amazing photos - each of them provoke a deep story that I cannot choose a favorite.
Isn't it amazing (and wonderful) that we have the technologies to bring old photos back to life.
What great photos--they reminded me of Margaret Bourke-White's photo essays!
Dianne great article and lovely photos. The thing that struck me most is: during those years less than 25% of population get a diploma. What can we do now that almost everybody in the young generation has one? Potential are enormous!
I agree, I'm glad that we can use technology to learn a bit more about history.

Preheat the oven to 450°. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the fat. Add the corn, chanterelles and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Sauvignon Blanc and thyme and cook until the wine is completely evaporated. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and simmer gently until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and bacon, cover and keep warm.
In another large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, add them to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5 minutes. Arrange the pork chops on a large plate, cover with foil and let stand for 5 minutes.
Reheat the corn if necessary, adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of water if it seems dry. Spoon the creamed corn onto plates, set a pork chop on top and serve.
A Pinot Noir from Oregon's Willamette Valley, like Cristom Vineyards' Mt. Jefferson Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, has elegant aromas and tastes of ripe black cherries, cinnamon, smoke and sweet vanilla that echo the sweet, earthy and smoky flavors of the pork chops, bacon and creamed corn. | 2019-04-26T08:46:49 | https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/pork-chops-with-creamed-corn-and-chanterelles |

CHEEKTOWAGA – The Cheektowaga Central School District announces that registration for the 2018-19 kindergarten term will commence for new students on March 1st.
Children who turn 5-years-old by December 1, 2018, and are residents of the district are eligible for kindergarten according to the district. Students currently enrolled in the district’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten program do not need to register.
“If you registered your child in the District to attend UPK, you will not need to re-register your child to attend kindergarten, as long as they are a current student,” said District Registrar Libby Maeder.
Some parents may need to provide additional information. The registrar will contact you directly in those cases. An informational mailing will be sent to all other parents in February outlining the UPK-to-kindergarten enrollment process.
The registration period will commence on March 1st and will be ongoing throughout the spring and summer. Registration is by appointment only. For a kindergarten registration packet or an appointment to register, parents and guardians are invited to call the registrar at 686-3665 or email Registration@ccsd-k12.org.

Where Does Healthcare Reform Stand?
Since the collapse of congressional efforts to “repeal and replace” the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), both President Trump and Congress have taken steps that could have a significant impact on the healthcare industry.
President Trump issued an Executive Order that directed several government agencies to begin rulemaking efforts that could facilitate the purchase of lower-cost health insurance plans that are exempt from many of the ACA’s regulations. He also cut off Cost Sharing Reductions, which are subsidies that help low-income individuals pay for healthcare expenses.
A bipartisan group of Senators released the “Bipartisan Health Care Stabilization Act of 2017.” If enacted, it would (i) restore Cost Sharing Reductions; (ii) facilitate the federal government’s approval of Section 1332 waiver applications that would allow states to modify some (but not all) of the ACA’s requirements; and (iii) enable anyone to purchase catastrophic plans which have low premiums but very high deductibles. | 2019-04-23T05:03:16 | https://www.debevoise.com/insights/publications/2017/10/where-does-healthcare-reform-stand |
