Statement from Nama on US Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act
NAMA logo
ARLINGTON, Va., US – The National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) has released the following statement from Mike Goscinski, senior director, external affairs, regarding the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act, which would provide $60 billion in relief for small businesses.
"While we appreciate the relief extension for businesses that were unable to access grants before funds were exhausted, vending operators have been restricted from eligibility, despite the critical role they play in getting consumers access to food and beverages.
NAMA worked closely with the Small Business Administration (SBA) to ensure clarity for NAICS code restrictions that would allow operators with blended business lines to access the grants. But traditional vending businesses are still not eligible for RRF grants.
NAMA research shows 50,000 jobs in the convenience services industry (28.74% of the industry) have been lost as of September 2020, and that number is likely significantly higher today. RRF eligibility is critical for these small businesses in their efforts to return to a sustainable level and continue to serve Americans where they work, play and go to school.
Now is the time to rectify the mistake of excluding hundreds of small businesses that are still reeling from the effects of the pandemic. We urge Congress to rectify exclusions and allow eligibility for traditional vending operators in the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act."
Founded in 1936, NAMA is the association representing the $31 billion US convenience services industry. With nearly 1,000-member companies — including many of the world's most recognized brands — NAMA provides advocacy, education and research for its membership.

The bank lobby is spreading a host of silly myths about the foreclosure fraud outbreak in an effort to downplay the scandal and minimize concerns over potential bank losses that have emerged in the blogosphere. Housing Wire's Paul Jackson spouts most of them in his post today. Jackson does acknowledge a host of major problems for banks that have been recently highlighted by the blogosphere, but he's still spreading serious misinformation on foreclosure fraud and its potential effects. Banks routinely rip-off borrowers in the foreclosure process, and the blogosphere's uproar over foreclosure fraud is more than justified.
First, the agreement. Jackson agrees that there is enormous potential for investors to bring fraud cases against banks and win them. He calls them "real concerns, many hundreds of billions of dollars worth of concerns." The blogosphere has done a terrific job highlighting this, with Felix Salmon shouldering most of the burden.
Take a look at some of Porter's other findings: More than 18 percent of the time, servicers don't even bother to file proofs of claim documenting the mortgage debt owed or the fees charged. Of the proofs-of-claim filed, 41 percent of the time, servicers don't even supply the note, while 16 percent of the time, they don't bother to itemize the fees they charge, much less justify the amount. Of the itemized fees, 43 percent were assigned to categories that didn't fit the servicing industry's own standards.
In many cases, these fees are so high that borrowers lose their homes thanks to the fees, not trouble meeting the monthly payment.
Let me emphasize that Porter's study applies to foreclosure costs reviewed by a judge in bankruptcy—the most vigilant legal arena available for troubled borrowers. The robo-signing scandal is not playing out in bankruptcy court, it's playing out in ordinary courts with much less rigorous standards. Banks simply try to prove that they have the necessary documentation to foreclose and are charge appropriate fees. They don't have the actual document laying out this information, so banks are robo-signing fraudulent affidavits swearing that they really do have the right to foreclose and charge every fee they're levying.
Given Porter's findings in bankruptcy courts, this activity is very likely covering up widespread abuses in ordinary court. Note Jackson's bizarre commitment to a majoritarian threshold for scandal. If 15 percent of foreclosures in the United States since the housing bubble burst have been unnecessary and fraudulent rip-offs, that is a scandal of monstrous proportions. We've already witnessed more than 6 million foreclosures this cycle—a 15 percent scam rate is nearly 1 million defrauded borrowers. That should be an outrage.
Nope. Commenators have used the robo-signing outbreak to highlight other documentation problems that banks have created for themselves. Servicer misconduct has indeed been well-covered, as is the outbreak of fraud in the sale of mortgages to borrowers. Even the staggeringly dishonest due diligence operations that banks deployed to rip-off investors has been public for months. We know that banks have used robo-signers to cover their tracks in some arenas, there's a natural interest in investigating other areas of documentation trouble (especially Felix Salmon's mortgage bond fraud story).
Jackson does the best job of defusing these related scandals with his argument that the fate of the Mortgage Electronic Registration System (MERS) has already been decided in court. In effect, banks have been using the electronic MERS system to show their right to foreclose instead of paper documents, and several courts have upheld their right to do so (though others have not). But it's hard to understand Jackson's out-0f-hand dismissal of MERS trouble when the legal standing of MERS was raised on a Citigroup conference call with investors last week. This is not yet resolved.
"Remittance reporting" means "profits that mortgage servicers detail and forward to investors." Shoddy documentation in the foreclosure end have been the focus of much of the commentary thus far. In that element of the scandal, banks are trying to minimize potential losses from shoddy documentation. But Jackson makes a very good point: documentation problems are so bad that servicers aren't forwarding the right profits either, or documenting them.
Why this is indicative of some blogosphere-wide over-reaction is beyond me. Jackson is effectively saying that the problem is much broader than the blogosphere has so far reported, and made an excellent point regarding the scope of potential problems.
Jackson also makes a good point about investor lawsuits. There are indeed significant technical hurdles that make it difficult for investors to sue banks over fraud in the mortgage-backed securities process, and this has been underreported. But that is far from the end of the story. When hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake, investors usually try to get their hands on it. And what's more, it's an appeal to a technicality on an issue where banks (and Jackson's parroting of banks) are pretending to take the substantive high-road. Don't worry, robo-signing is just a 'procedural' issue! Investor lawsuits are probably going to gut us on the merits, but technicalities will make it difficult for the cases to be heard!

(And Some Thoughts on the Current Art Market)
July 15, 2014 to September 26, 2014
"I want to start investing in contemporary art, but I can't afford a good art advisor, so I don't know what to buy." -- "Millennial" talking to her friends at the Frieze Art Fair
The art critic and philosopher Arthur C. Danto, who died last year, was instrumental in describing and reifying the concept of the "art world": an amalgamation of collectors, dealers, artists, curators, critics and art historians who have the power, collectively, to determine what is, or is not, art. A urinal ceases to be a plumbing fixture when the art world recognizes it as a vessel filled with artistic meaning. Removed from the bathroom and installed in a museum, the urinal becomes a work of art through the simple magic of re-contextualization. Danto's art world is hermetic and tautological; a coven of self-anointed insiders. Whereas the early modernists (including the urinal's "creator," Marcel Duchamp) reviled the art establishment, the contemporary art world institutionalizes the avant-garde.
Danto's other big theory involved the "end of art." Conceived in the late 1980s, around the time that Francis Fukuyama was writing about the "end of history," Danto's idea was that art had reached the end of a progressive linear trajectory which began around 1400. Just as Fukuyama did not really believe historic events would cease to occur, Danto did not think people would stop making art. Both men, rather, sensed that the old unifying meta-narratives of history and art history were losing traction. Centuries of ideological squabbling had been superseded by the unopposed triumph of global capitalism. Similarly, modernism's dogmatic manifesti, stylistic affiliations and sequential "isms" had been replaced by a tasting menu of disparate aesthetic options. These centrifugal forces, augmented by the decentralization intrinsic to globalization, chafe against the art world's superstructure. Nonetheless the need for order and hierarchical values remains. In the absence of any overriding aesthetic consensus, judgments of relative importance are now increasingly made on the basis of financial worth. The art world still rules, but it is largely ruled by money.
Although art has always been associated with wealth, collectors were traditionally motivated primarily by aesthetic pleasure. The art world's obsession with investment as an end unto itself is a comparatively new development, traceable in part to the inflation of the 1970s. While inflation causes all prices to rise, art values tend to lag, increasing more slowly than those of more frequently traded goods. Thus the illusion of windfall profits was created when, in the early 1980s, art prices finally caught up with everything else. As more sellers and buyers were drawn into the market by this illusion, it became a reality, at least for some. At the same time, art sales were becoming more public than ever before. In 1983 the shopping mall magnate Alfred Taubman bought Sotheby's and began courting a retail clientele, turning what had heretofore been largely a wholesale marketplace for dealers into an arena for conspicuous consumption. The press was delighted to support the auction houses' publicity machines, breathlessly touting each record price. Only the usually mild-mannered New York Times art critic John Russell demurred, remarking that the glamorous evening auctions had all the appeal of public executions.
The euphoric run-up in prices came to a temporary halt with the market downturn of the early 1990s. Sidelined by deep systemic economic woes, the Japanese were blamed for creating a bubble by buying indiscriminately in the 1980s. The rising tide of that decade had lifted all boats more or less equally, and people were now quick to point out that not everything created by a master is a masterpiece. Henceforth, "selectivity" became the mantra of dealers, collectors and auctioneers. However, even assuming that the marketplace is in every instance capable of discerning the nuances that distinguish a masterpiece from the average work, the market cannot always be relied upon to accurately calculate the price differential between the two. Is a masterpiece worth twice as much as an average picture? Ten times as much? More? With the rise of the so-called 1%, the differential has grown ever greater, as the auction houses focus more attention on the very top of the market. Along with the middle class, the middle market has atrophied. Auctions today are dominated by a small group of billionaires who literally make the market. If a work sells for an enormous sum, then it is, by definition, a masterpiece.
Through much of the last century, investment returns accrued relatively slowly. Just as it took time for new businesses to develop market share and become profitable, the art world reached a consensus regarding an artist's importance gradually. In the interim, dealers nurtured the artist's art-world credentials and raised prices incrementally, in sync with rising demand. Twenty-first-century investors crave faster returns, speculating on startups regardless of whether they are profitable and in the process causing stocks to rise in defiance of conventional price/earnings ratios. Similarly, those who view art as an investment asset are not in it for the long term. They are looking for a speedy turnaround, and the art world has, to some extent, learned to accommodate them.
Dealers and auction houses offer their best clients special deals that essentially make it possible for them to game the system. Roughly 50% of the lots in this spring's Contemporary Art auctions were guaranteed. What this means is that in each such case a collector/investor was allowed to lock in a presale bid and to participate in the upside (including the auction house's commission) if bidding rose above that amount. Guarantors receive inside information about the seller's supposedly secret reserve price and a chance to profit regardless of whether the lot sells high or low. Deep-pocketed investors, such as the Muhgrabi and Nahmad families, have accumulated vast inventories by taking advantage of vagaries in the auction process to buy works at less than what they perceive to be full retail value. The Nahmads (whose scion, Helly, was recently sentenced to a year prison for his participation in an international gambling ring) have at times reportedly bid on up to one third of the lots in the Impressionist and Modern sales.
Those with lesser resources try to cash in on rising new talent. "People talk about flipping an artwork in a year or two," writes contemporary dealer Kenny Schachter, "but I've admittedly done so within a matter of months, even weeks.…This practice is fueled by the recent phenomenon of historic prices being achieved for very young artists with little or no market or exhibition history." Olyvia Kwok, founder of an art fund predicated on reselling works within three months to a year, notes that, "If you see art purely as a commercial investment, it is important to create or follow a trend, which in art changes every two to three years." Schachter ascribes this frothy action in part to newly rich buyers from Russia, China and the Middle East. "With low interest rates and volatile stock and commodities markets, where else can you attain such high returns in no time at all?" he asks. "The wealth of new buyers is growing exponentially, but they only want the obvious things by obvious artists, which is why you read of so many artists' markets snowballing into self-fulfilling prophecies." "Especially for pieces by younger artists," notes a critic in The Guardian, "the value of a work of art inheres primarily in the faith that a few very rich people believe it matters."
The meta-narratives alluded to by Fukuyama and Danto were resoundingly Eurocentric, crafted by philosophers like Georg Hegel and art historians like Alfred Barr. Today's money narrative is global. Beyond its investment potential, art is a way for the citizens of volatile non-Western countries to shelter income abroad, perhaps in the process evading the scrutiny of domestic tax authorities. Like real estate in global capitals such as New York or London, art offers a safe haven should things turn nasty at home. But in order for art to serve this purpose it must be recognized as an international commodity. Thus Western dealers and auctioneers are battling to establish credibility with non-Western collectors. Art Basel has expanded to Hong Kong, and Christie's was proud to announce that half the top buyers in its evening auction of contemporary art were Asian. So far Western art still dominates the international marketplace, but that may change. America's nineteenth-century industrial titans collected European masterpieces; the "American century" was half over before New York was internationally recognized as a center of artistic production. Art follows the money, and the money is heading East.
One of the dangers of the current obsession with quick profits is that it belies the traditional connection between supply and demand. Prices get pushed up before an artist has acquired a meaningful collector base. Even with all those guarantees and Asian bidders, there were not enough buyers to sustain three nights of successful Contemporary sales in New York this year. After two buoyant evenings at Christie's, Sotheby's Contemporary auction failed to meet its low estimate and ended with 12 unsold lots. The Impressionist and Modern sales the week before were lackluster for both houses. As classical modern material becomes harder to find, the buzz has moved on to the contemporary arena, creating a paradoxical situation in which rarity can actually cause prices to drop by weakening demand. Much like Old Masters, the Impressionist/Modern sales category may one day revert to pre-Taubman conditions, becoming a quiet backwater visited mainly by dealers. Difficulty summoning enough bidders to make auctions viable at a retail level has pushed Sotheby's and Christie's to beef up their private-treaty sales operations. Yet it is debatable whether the auction houses, whose "experts" are of necessity generalists, are as effective as specialist dealers in serving niche markets.
The winner-take-all dynamic that permeates both the art world and the larger economy has had a devastating effect on America's smaller museums, many of which are struggling to stay afloat. The outrage that greeted the Museum of Modern Art's recent decision to tear down the American Folk Art Museum's former home had less to do with the destruction of an architectural gem than with the seemingly unjust triumph of a veritable Goliath over a smaller, less solvent competitor. The Folk Art Museum was able to regroup without selling any of its collection, but other institutions, including the National Academy of Design and the Delaware Art Museum, have not been so fortunate. Detroit's creditors are ogling the bankrupt city's Institute of Arts, and with offers of up to $2 billion on the table, there is a possibility that the museum's treasures will be sold to the highest bidder. When art is viewed merely as an asset, the intangible benefits provided by museums—as sources of community pride, educational centers, bastions of collective cultural heritage and inspirations for future generations—fall by the wayside.
Another byproduct of the investment mentality has been a sometimes vindictive or opportunistic backlash against the art world. The rising value of art, combined with the bitterness produced by income inequality, has led to a marked increase in art-related litigation. Authenticators are imperiled equally by suits from disgruntled collectors and by the deceptive allure of skillful forgeries. Even as people try to come to terms with the fact that the esteemed Knoedler Gallery sold a raft of fakes, there are those who think finding a "Pollock" or a "Rothko" at a flea market is like winning the lottery, and that authenticators who withhold approval are part of a conspiracy to defraud them. Copying—an age-old staple of art-school training and the métier of certain contemporary artists—is under threat from infringement suits both by mega corporations and by lesser-known creators of source images who have failed to reap the financial rewards of appropriators like Richard Prince and Jeff Koons. The mere threat of litigation—over a deal gone wrong, a work sold for too little or bought for too much—is frequently used to extract financial retribution from potential defendants unwilling to endure the strains of a trial. Sadly, this form of extortion has also infected the realm of Holocaust restitution, where art works can be rendered virtually unsalable by unsubstantiated claims that would never stand up in court. While there are clearly instances of malfeasance that justify legal action, the art world is often targeted simply because it is perceived as a repository of illicit wealth.
Perhaps the most pernicious aspect of the investment game is that it is, on many levels, wrongheaded. Art is inherently resistant to the objective metrics that underpin rational investment strategies. "A business needs to be profitable to exist," writes Melanie Gerlis, author of Art as an Investment? A Survey of Comparative Assets. "It therefore makes sense that people should want to invest in its possible growth through shares. A painting can exist perfectly easily without generating any profit at all." Unlike real estate, art does not produce rental income. On the contrary, it costs money to insure, store and conserve. Art's relative illiquidity and the uniqueness of each individual object distinguish it from commodities like gold. Uniqueness also distinguishes art objects from commercially manufactured luxury products, although the two realms increasingly share a fixation on branding, status and celebrity. "Even when there are several items that are seemingly identical, such as editions of the same photograph or sculpture," Gerlis writes, "each has a history of ownership, trading or exhibition that separates one ascribed value from another." "Art," she concludes, "is probably the least commoditized asset in the investment universe, offering the potential for great returns but also subject to enormous risk."
For a time, speculative markets are self-perpetuating, but eventually they collapse due to poor underlying fundamentals. The art market today is weakened not just by inequities between demand and supply, but by the superficial goals of the investment community. Vast segments of the art world have come to resemble the fashion and entertainment industries, with their focus on fleeting trends and ephemeral spectacle. The judgment required to ascertain long-term value is sorely lacking.
In retrospect, the narratives that shaped twentieth-century aesthetic judgments were never wholly accurate, and they grew less so when critics and art historians forced the disparate strains of European modernism into a cohesive theoretical package designed to justify America's cultural ascendancy. The linear trajectory of which Danto wrote was an illusion. Today's art world is potentially far more egalitarian, open to the work of all nations and all cultural traditions. But the lack of any overriding structure poses unprecedented challenges to connoisseurship. In its misguided attempt to commoditize art, the art world has forgotten that art's greatest achievements lie in its ability to transcend material values, to embody such ineffable qualities as empathic humanism, spiritual uplift and beauty. The art world needs to redirect its focus and start doing its job.
Those of us who share an interest in what is euphemistically known as "outsider" art have long spent time poking around in areas that were underserved by the modernist narrative. "The Encyclopedic Palace," a focal point of last year's Venice Biennale, proposed various alternative narratives that presented "outsider" and "insider" material on a level playing field. However these pairings, mostly reliant on superficial visual or typological similarities, did not pay sufficient attention to each individual artist's developmental framework, context or viewpoint. The Galerie St. Etienne has always believed that the work of self-taught artists can best be studied by using the same methodology applied to their trained colleagues. We try, first of all, to understand the artist's intentions, as shaped by his or her individual surroundings and idiosyncrasies, and then we evaluate the artist's success in visualizing those intentions. We have found that, contrary to popular myth, the best self-taught artists are influenced by outside sources and refine their aesthetic approaches over time, just as schooled artists do.
The Galerie St. Etienne's spring exhibition paired the work of Ilija Basicevic, a Serbian peasant who had four years of elementary schooling, with that of his son Dmitrije (known as Mangelos), a trained art historian lately recognized as one of the forerunners of international conceptualism. Father and son experienced persecution during World War II, struggled under the Communist regime that followed, and were as a result artistically preoccupied by images of destruction and renewal. Despite these underlying similarities, however, the two artists are perceived very differently by the art world due to the differences in their iconography and educational backgrounds. Following up on the precedent set in Venice, the gallery's exhibition endeavored to jettison the outmoded "outsider" and "insider" labels by presenting each artist on his own terms. Our summer exhibition includes a concise version of the Ilija/Mangelos installation, as well as works by noteworthy self-taught artists such as James Castle, Madge Gill, Frank Jones, Augustin Lesage, Grandma Moses, Michel Nedjar and Adolf Wölfli.
As is customary, the Galerie St. Etienne's summer show not only surveys recent acquisitions, but also recaps the past season's projects. In the autumn of 2013, we presented the complete print cycles of Käthe Kollwitz, and we opened the New Year by commemorating the 100th anniversary of World War I. Male artists--such as Max Beckmann, Otto Dix and George Grosz--who fought in that war are known for their graphic depictions of the brutal conflict, but Kollwitz's depictions of the privations at home are equally shocking. Our summer exhibition contains key works on this theme by all four artists.
Perhaps our most spectacular new acquisition this year is a group of three major paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker, from the largest such collection in America. Important works by the artist, who died following childbirth at the age of 31, seldom appear on the market. We have also managed to obtain a life-sized oil portrait by Otto Dix from his Neue Sachlichkeit period, and Egon Schiele's beautiful watercolor of Elisabeth Lederer, daughter of the prominent Klimt patrons August and Serena Lederer. Another highlight of the show is a pair of studies for Klimt's final, uncompleted painting The Bride: one showing the bride in a state of virginal innocence, and the second depicting her in the throes of erotic ecstasy after the wedding. Our exhibition is rounded out by a selection of rare (in some cases unique) lithographs and etchings by the pioneering Brücke artists Erich Heckel, E.L. Kirchner, Max Pechstein and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.

They didn't build Rome in a day, and we certainly can't educate our kids in a day. But all too often our systems limit professional development for teachers to a single intensive day on a new program, initiative, or framework. An intensive PD day shouldn't be a single event, it should be part of a longer learning journey.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has taught us time and time again that it is not our students who are disabled – it is our curriculum, our assessments, and our systems that are disabling to our students. When we remove barriers to engagement, representation, and action & expression, we see that all students are capable of learning and being successful.
Multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) allow us to provide the same level of support to our educators as our students. MTSS reminds us that if we hold the belief that all teachers are capable of educating all students, and we provide them with the necessary resources to support and challenge them, we can see true transformation in our schools.
A single, intensive, professional development day can be a great way to get all staff members on the same page and build excitement and community around a new initiative. But we need to go further to help our teachers be successful. Just as we do for our students, we need to remove barriers for teachers, offer continuous support, and promote lifelong, expert learning.
Expert learners are purposeful and motivated, resourceful and knowledgable, and strategic & goal-directed. Expert learners know their limitations and how to use resources and supports to build understanding and execute plans.
So, how can you create better professional development for your educators? We've put together a list of 5 steps to help you with this process. Remember, they didn't build Rome in a day, and you can't completely change your PD plan overnight, but when you try, try, and try again, you'll find that one day you'll look back and you won't recognize what's in your rearview mirror.
Your teachers need to have a voice in your education community. Every frustration, complaint, or issue is valid. Let your educators tell you what they want for professional development. Provide your teachers with a forum for sharing. In the spirit of UDL, allow them to choose the way they best communicate with you. For example, host a teachers town meeting, but also give teachers the option to complete an online form, send you an email, or have a conversation over the phone.
When we plan a PD session, we need to keep in mind what our goals are. Are you looking to build engagement, knowledge, or inspire your teachers into action? Are you launching a new initiative or building upon existing knowledge? Use SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) to help you with the process and be sure to have a clear plan in place for communicating those goals.
During step one, you let your teachers define the barriers they face when teaching inclusive classrooms. Now, it's your turn to think of other barriers that may interfere with your teachers' abilities to be successful. Come up with a plan (even if it is a long-term one) for addressing those barriers. Make sure to set aside the appropriate resources (time/scheduling and funding), to alleviate some of the barriers. Let your educators know their concerns have been heard and what you plan to do. Even taking small steps can help show teachers that you value their opinions and are working in their best interest.
Our teachers should have options, just as their students, in how they learn. When providing professional development, remember to provide multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression. By doing this, you will automatically eliminate many barriers (see step 3 above!).
Listening isn't just a way to start a conversation about professional development. Listening should be a regular part of the learning process. When done frequently, you can learn what is working, what is not, and make course corrections. You can continue to remove barriers that you hadn't foreseen. Create a community for your educators where feedback and open communication are welcomed and considered.
If you need assistance with developing a professional development plan that works for your educators, we can help. Our consultants can provide professional development sessions, instructional coaching, webinars, online courses, and more. Learn about all of our professional development offerings here.

COVID-19 Lockdown: In lieu of help, cybercriminals trying to loot people in Kashmir
Many people in Valley complain of messages from people, masquerading as politicians and journalists, asking for help on social media platforms.
As the fear of COVID-19 was beginning to scare people to stay indoors, cybercriminals saw this as an opportunity to trick the gullible internet users in the Valley. Many people complain of messages from people, masquerading as politicians and journalists, asking for help on social media platforms.
"On March 24, I received a message from a Facebook profile. When I saw the message, it was sent by one person who was pretending to be 'Abdul Gani Kohli' — a former minister of Jammu and Kashmir," Ashiq Hamid, a resident of Pulwama says.
He says, "He asked me to transfer Rs. 15000 in his bank account. He said it was an emergency. Sensing that this was someone else pretending to be the former minister, I asked him to send me his bank account number. As he sent the details, it was some "Naresh Rao". When I insisted for his personal bank account number, he denied by saying there was some problem with his account."
Unknown Person Pretending Abdul Gani Kohli (Former Minister of Jammu & Kashmir)
Understanding the trap, Ashiq asked him to at least call him once so that he can transfer the money with peace of mind. In response, the person operating the fake Facebook account deactivated his profile.
Although, Ashiq dealt with the criminal with ease but not everyone is so well-acquainted. Vulnerable lot of people like Gulzar Patigaroo from Chadoora Budgam have not been so smart.
Gulzar recently lost some three thousand rupees on few Virtual Private Network (VPN) applications which, according to him, promised instant increase in mobile internet speed. "A friend sent a link over WhatsApp for getting the subscription of a premium VPN app named 'Wonder VPN Pro'. Without thinking much, I registered and paid Rs. 1250 on the website but after installing the app, there was no increase in internet speed."
"As I thought of complaining to the VPN company, I opened the link again. It was shocking! The page was no more online as it displayed "no such file or directory" error," he said, in a sad tone as it was the third time that he lost the money to a fake VPN company.
Khursheed Dar, one more victim of online fraud, lives in a hamlet of Pulwama. He lost two thousand rupees on face masks and sanitizers that he ordered but never received. "I ordered the items in bulk as there was shortage of such items here. It was on JustDial.Com that I got the contact details of a dealer in Delhi. As I called him, he asked me to pay two thousand rupees in advance. When I did, he never picked my phone," Khursheed laments.
Many other cases of cybercrimes go unreported in the Kashmir Valley due to the lockdown in place to check the spread of COVID-19. People need to be more vigilant than before as the cybercriminals are putting in all their efforts to loot vulnerable netizens during the pandemic times.

It's An Honor To Join Lamborghini
Dec 6, 2022 | FIA World Endurance Championship, IndyCar, News
Andretti Autosport's Romain Grosjean, driver of the No.28 DHL Dallara Honda in the NTT IndyCar Series says it is an honor to be joining Lamborghini in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023.
The French-Swiss driver who will continue his full-time career in the NTT IndyCar will also compete in the GT3 category in Endurance racing as well as being test driver for the team's LMDh car which debuts in 2024.
Speaking following the announcement, Grosjean said:
First of all, it's an honour to be joining Lamborghini, it's such an iconic brand for everyone who loves cars, including myself and my kids. On top of that, I am very excited about two things: the first is starting in Daytona with the GT3 which has been very successful in Daytona and a really good team like Iron Lynx and team-mates around me, so that is going to be a nice discovery for myself. And then, later in the year developing the new LMDh which is a beautiful car – I'm lucky to have seen it – and an incredible project in endurance. It's becoming a very exciting category with all the constructors coming. With Lamborghini being such a successful brand, I hope we can do well in the future."
Lamborghini Head of Motorsport Giorgio Sanna added:
"We are very proud to welcome Romain Grosjean to the Lamborghini family, for this new and exciting period in the history of Squadra Corse. He's a driver with a huge amount of experience in various categories over the years and will be able to add a great deal of value to both our GT3 programme but more importantly, the development of our LMDh car as well. I am looking forward to seeing Romain out on track in Daytona which will hopefully be the start of a very successful partnership going forward."

~ The last Sunday School before the school summer holidays will be on 9 July.
The Austin Allegro must be one of the most derided and mocked cars of all time, now consigned to the dustbin of history. Years ago I used to drive a bright yellow Allegro, and as it was my first car I was very fond of it and I can remember its registration number (LLU 191V). It was so unfashionable that I could safely leave it on the streets of central London without anyone wanting to touch it, let alone steal it. I drove it for years and it was approaching its 100,000 mile mark in 1990 when it was driven into by a youthful parishioner on a wet Saturday evening as it was parked outside my house where I was a curate, and written off. My then vicar felt that the young man had done me an enormous favour by putting it out of its misery.
I remember it still, as one does, and so to me it is charming that there are people who volunteer to run organisations like "The Austin Allegro Preservation Society" and "The Allegro Club International" to keep its modest memory alive, against one might say insuperable odds. I confess I am not joining them.
of the pillars upon which society rests. Indeed it may be worth just reading the Throstle, or local newspapers, for a while with an eye to seeing the scope and diversity of volunteering that there is in our community and county. It seems to me that these things are features of life for which we can all be thankful.
Sometimes volunteering in any sphere will feel a battle against insuperable odds, but the capacity of people to carry on carrying on (and keep calm while doing so) is very great. So don't get downhearted whatever you do.
Dreadful and sombre events recently in London rightly call for our prayers and support. But they also remind us that communities great and small are able to help each other in adversity and trial, and that the spirit of voluntary effort is in many ways alive and well. May it ever be so.

Q: Load stream into memory outside the program scoop I am debugging a program that depends on large file ~1GB. I am currently stuck in low performance PC without SSD. Each time I run the program after some edit. This 1GB has be loaded in memory which takes some time.
considering I need this 1GB file from the beginning and there is no way to load just what I need from it.
Is it possible in some way (does not have to be standard and portable) to load it just once in some place in the memory that is not destructed after exiting the program and then use it from the same place in memory each time (kind of pointer to memory chunk on the OS level) ?
I am using MSVC 2017 & Windows 10.

A: Yes, try setting up a RAMDisk and storing this file in the RAMDisk. It will persist until you shut down your machine or delete it.
This will effectively allow your system to read from/write to this 1GB file as if it was stored on RAM - which is what you want. But it will only require a single load and a single unload.
A normal 7200RPM hard drive - what you're probably seeing by loading from HDD -> RAM upon each execution

A very usual SSD. As you can see, speeds are increased approximately fourfold in this benchmark.

Using a RAMDisk, in this case set up using the AMD Radeon RAMDisk software

In other words, this isn't a programming solution really - it's just a workaround for your machine not having an SSD to store this large file on for read/write purposes. Your code can probably stay the same, it will just read in the file from a RAMDISK that you'll have to set up.
Hope this helps!

You'll also learn how to use IT skills in Japanese, including Japanese word processing and web searches.
Intermediate Japanese: in addition to thorough revision of elementary grammar, you'll learn more advanced grammar and vocabulary by reading a wide range of materials on various topics (including fairy tales, Japanese culture, letters and news), in addition to an intermediate textbook. You'll also practise giving short speeches and engaging in peer-learning activities with Japanese students, as well as learning IT skills in Japanese.

An historic picture - the 707 Prototype (Dash 80) in the foreground, then E1, and, in the rear E2, in the Boeing Flight Center hangar at Boeing Field, 1963.
There's something cool about the continuity of Boeing's original nose design. 737s manufactured today share parts of the nose design as the original 707, and the 727s shown there. That colour scheme was also something else.
I've never flown in a 727, or a 707 for that matter. It's likely stuff you and I have bought has arrived on a cargo version of those planes though.


One thing that YA literature does so well is romance! Whether it be a subplot, or from the romance genre itself, the relationships included in YA books are always exciting. Having said that, some are susceptible to insta-love, some are triangles or even squares, but overall, the good romances far outweigh the bad. So here are my top five that I want to share with you.
Even though Cinder is a Cinderella retelling, and so it would be obvious she ended up with the Prince, I was still rooting for Cinder and Kai from the moment they met at Cinder's repair shop. There was something so un-Prince like when Kai was introduced, and I love how he accepts her for who she is.
The one thing I love about The Fault in Our Stars is that there is no love triangle. The romance is totally focused on Hazel and Gus supporting each other through difficult times, spending time together and having fun. Of course, this story is heart-wrenching, but Gazel's love even transcends time, which makes it pretty epic to me!
If you're an avid watcher of the BBC series Sherlock, you might be aware of the intense Holmes/Watson shipping that has been born from the show. This intense relationship has definitely translated into Cavallaro's novel based on the detective duo! Once again, the on and off, friends or more relationship is just as fast paced as the story, and keeps you gunning for the couple, right up until the end. I'm sure we'll find out whether Charlotte and Jamie get together in The Case for Jamie, scheduled to be released in 2018.
Although there was no doubt in my mind that Gwen and Gideon would end up together, there was certainly lots of back and forth from the both of them throughout the trilogy, enriched by their witty banter and natural chemistry. There's something about this time traveling couple that has me begging for a sequel!
I saw the Vampire Academy film before I read the books (shock horror) and loved how Rose and Dimitri's chemistry leaped off of the screen. I was also happy to find the same for the book and was impressed about how Mead navigated the, always awkward, student-mentor relationship. This was one of the first ships that I wasn't sure how it was going to end, and really kept me on my toes right up until the last book!
So these are my top five ships from the YA Literature scene! Are these some of your favourite ships? Or do you have some you think I'll like? Let me know in the comments!


Have you ever tried such dainty as a waffle? Anyway, you have at least heard about such sweet and when the smell is somewhere around us then it's extremely tough not to try the flavor. But first, we should be grateful for the founder of the cooking appliance called waffle-iron. Today, you gonna learn about its holiday and let's find out what and when The Waffle Iron Day in 2017 is?
The Waffle Iron Day is observed annually on 29th of June and is held to emphasize the importance of such appliance together with the fame of wafers. Also, it's organized to let you head out and have a pastry-iron purchase this day as many discounts could be found everywhere.
So, before turning to the issue of what day Waffle Iron Day in 2017 is, let's plunge into the story of our topic.
The history of the waffles' creation has deep roots, it all began a long time ago and no one today will remind and say neither time nor place in which the wafers were first prepared — the greatest culinary work. History begins with the appearance of the first biscuit maker, it gave birth to a real wafer boom. The inventor of the first wafer maker is the American designer Cornelius Swarthout from the New York State.
On 24th of August 1869, Cornelius Swarthout showed an unusual griddle to broad masses, which was used to make wafers. It was performed in the form of two parts that joined together. Their heating was carried out on coals or even a fire, if necessary, the cookie iron was turned over on both sides. With this little discovery, the real wafer era in the USA began, it has been served as the beginning of a new holiday, nowadays the Americans celebrate it with the name The National Waffle Day.
Information is given that the pastry preparations were made even in ancient Greece, then in ancient Rome and Germany. There is a mentioning of wafers in the XIII century. And in the XV-XVI centuries, only rich people allowed themselves to taste waffles. Wafers were an expensive culinary product; its recipe was kept in a secret and was unavailable to ordinary people.
To America wafers came much earlier than the invention of the cookie iron, it was brought by Dutch settlers in XVII century.
The word "pastry maker" came to us from Germany, from the word "Waffel", it means cells or honeycombs. But it's true, the usual biscuits and wafers cooked in the wafer iron are very reminiscent of honeycomb boxes.
First, the word "wafers" was written as "wafles" with the writing of one letter f. And then the popularity of cookies grew up and a recipe appeared in culinary books. In the 18th century, in the culinary publications, the English word was seen, which has been preserved in our days' "cookies".
Knowing what does Waffle Iron Day mean will undoubtedly facilitate the importance and sense of the festival. Well, when National Waffle Iron Day in 2017 will be organized, the main task is to take out your cookie-iron and let it work at full power. Otherwise, this holiday is a good opportunity to pamper yourself purchasing a pastry cooking machine and squeeze out all the juices from it.
Moreover, in the era of digitalization, it's so easy to seize the moment and share it with your contacts. So, use a hashtag #WaferIronDay and post it out on social media.
What is the date of Waffle Iron Day 2017? The calendar has supervised us with this issue and we can step to another part.
All of us have once tasted this dainty but nobody knows some interesting facts about this delicate.
The cookies are a healthy product!
It would seem that dessert can only be harmful to the figure, however, there is a benefit in biscuits — it's all about the stuffing. So, there are vitaminized wafers, or low-calorie, for example, berry-stuffed. In general, ordinary wafers cope completely with satisfying hunger, and sugar stimulates mental activity, but it is not worth getting too involved in sweets. Well, if you cook wafers yourself, you can be sure of the naturalness of the products used and the absence of preservatives.
The history of wafers is full of mysteries: it's hard to say who first started cookie oven — whether the ancient Greeks, or the Chinese, or the Germans. In medieval Europe, these products were available only to kings and nobles. For the disclosure of the secret wafer recipe, the strictest penalties were imposed. However, later waffles were sold on the streets, including the entrance to the church, and the excitement around the new kind of dessert was so great that it came to cruel fights. So, the cookies are a real tea-taking decoration that gives it a special refinement.
Why do such pastry have a checkered surface?
Cage-mesh on the surface of wafers plates — this is by no means the caprice of confectioners. Just cells keep the filling, not allowing it to spread out to the plates. And the name of the dessert comes from the German word waffel — "honeycomb, cell" — later modified into a wafer. Giving thanks to these cells, you can accurately "glue" homemade tartan cookies with any stuffing: jam, sweet, chocolate, berry jam, condensed milk or whipped cream — and you will get a wonderful dessert.
Are there any traditions and observances of celebrating this bright holiday? Of course, there are.
A celebration is a great opportunity to get out on some kind of a picnic, taking you cookie-iron and favorite syrups with you. In addition, the festival is made for all pastry lovers so in a case of no appliance you can easily visit local sweet restaurants and try the dessert.
Also, you are available to find out some new recipes of wafer preparation by choosing many utilities provided by cookie-iron, which were not used before.
To sum up, whatever you decide to take part in, do not forget to take a snap of your time spending and share it by hashtag #WaffleIronDay.
For example, Belgian lines — between the layers of a hard dough a caramel is set. Norwegian krumkake — Christmas biscuit horns, often filled with sweet stuffing. Brussels air wafers, which consist of beer, are baked right on the street and served with powdered sugar, syrup or whipped cream. In many countries, unusual ingredients are used as fillings — cereals, cheese, even garlic, bacon or tuna fillets. There is something to experiment with!
The waffle is also an inspiration!
Wafers have become a real inspiration for inventions. In 1896, when the American ice cream vendor ran out of dishes, the wafer trader suggested putting the sweet balls into biscuit cones. And in the 1970s, the American track and field athletic coach Bill Bowerman, looking at the cookie iron cells, came up with a riffled sole for sneakers, whose weight had decreased, and the force of the push had increased.
So, there are many interesting facts around us and do not miss an opportunity to know them.


In today's post, I'll be counting down the top 10 paid social media hacks of all time, taken from my recent webinar with Hanapin Marketing's Matt Umbro. Let's get started!
Quality Score is a familiar metric to AdWords and Bing Ads advertisers, but it's just as important on Facebook and Twitter.
On Facebook, Quality Score is known as Relevance Score. Facebook calculates this score based on how engaging your ads are. The more engagement, the better the Relevance Score.
As you can see from the figure above, a high Relevance Score should be one of your primary goals as a Facebook advertiser. Higher Relevance Scores translate to greater impression shares and lower costs-per-engagement, making your ads more visible AND more cost-effective!
Relevance is determined by – you guessed it – how relevant your tweets are to the interests of your audience. Resonance is how engaging your tweets are, such as how many favorites, retweets, and replies they generate. Recency refers to the timeliness of your tweets, with more weight given to "fresher" tweets.
This means that highly relevant ads can cost as little as ONE PENNY PER RETWEET!
Just as you pay close attention to Quality Score in AdWords and Bing Ads, you should be equally focused (if not more so) on Quality Score on Facebook and Twitter!
Only promote your very best content. Not the "good" stuff, not even the "great" stuff – the very best. By "best," I mean the stuff that is performing the best, so not just what you want to perform well, but the content that is already getting a lot of attention and engagement from your audience.
The easiest way to identify high-engagement tweets is by exporting data from your Twitter Analytics dashboard.
This allows you to examine the data for engagement metrics such as retweets, favorites, and replies, making it easy to see which tweets are hitting the mark. Those top-performers are the ones you want to amplify.
Keyword targeting on Google often feels like you're marketing to robots – I call this "caveman English". The keywords are rigid, blunt, and direct. Social keywords on Twitter are much more conversational, informational, and use hashtags. This can actually make targeting them feel more "natural," as you can serve ads to users based on these conversational phrases that don't feel as salesy as ads on Google. Also, it's important to note that on Twitter, you're targeting people who have used certain keywords in their Tweets, in addition to keyword searches on Twitter.
This gives me a potential Facebook audience of 6.1 million people! You can see how Facebook has partnered with Epsilon to access this kind of purchasing data, as well as a description of the audience segment and the source of the data.
You can target custom audiences as broad or as narrow as you like. Remember, though, that the more specific you get, the smaller the audience is likely to be.
Segmenting your audiences like this is a great way to make sure your ads are appearing in front of potential customers. Sure, you could carpet-bomb everyone on social media with your ads, but it's better to be seen by the right people rather than all the people. This will help keep your engagement rates up and your cost per engagement down.
For social media remarketers, however, page position becomes irrelevant. There is no position one, position two etc., as people's timelines just keep scrolling on and on, making positioning far less of an issue – and viewability much higher, which is great news!
One of the coolest things about remarketing on Facebook is the ability to use product ads directly within Facebook. These are a lot like Google's Shopping ads, and allow you to target visitors based on the purchasing history and shopping habits. They look really great, too!
This ad format is also a great way to capture people who've abandoned their shopping carts, but might be receptive to converting while they're browsing social media in their downtime.
The fourth of our top 10 social media hacks of all time is custom audiences.
This is a relatively new thing on social. It's only been available to marketers for a little over a year at this point, but it's amazingly powerful and if you're not using custom audiences already, you really need to start. I'm not exaggerating when I say that custom audiences is one of the biggest evolutions in display ad targeting in the past five or six years.
Over time, we started to get more ad targeting options such as keywords and retargeting. Today, however, it's all about custom audiences – specific interests, demographics, and even personal identities.
What happens next is Facebook or Twitter takes the data you upload and matches information such as phone numbers to profiles in their system, allowing you to create matches between your sales or customer data and their social profiles. I've found that a match rate of between 20% and 50% is pretty typical, and using tools like Full Contact will help you find people's social media IDs based on email to further increase match rates.
This is, hands down, one of the most powerful ways you can attract new business through paid social. It offers all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks of email marketing, and can be extraordinarily cost effective. This doesn't mean you should turn your back on email – far from it – but instead think of it as another tool you can use to promote your content and increase your exposure.
We talk a lot about funnels in marketing.
The funnel is dead. Over. Finished. Forget about it. It's based on desktop usage, and using paid social media (which is overwhelmingly mobile), you can bypass the traditional marketing funnel entirely. How? By leveraging the new ad formats available on social media.
Firstly, a few people have asked me what a flywheel actually is whenever I've talked about this principle, so we'll start there.
A flywheel is a mechanical device that is used to power machinery. Flywheels are often pretty large (though most cars have them in one shape or form), and as such it takes a lot of energy to get the moving initially. Once they're spinning, however, they can keep going on and on, even in the absence of a power source.
That's why I call this paid social media hack the flywheel effect – put in the effort initially and then get ready to reap the rewards later with very little effort!
Whatever you do to grow your social media presence snowballs over time. After a while, your social profiles begin to gain momentum, achieving greater results with less effort. It took me almost six years to get my first 12,000 followers, but just one year later, I'd picked up more than 50,000 more! Engagement with your social presence snowballs, so by putting in more effort to begin with, you can achieve "critical mass" later on and see much more engagement and growth with far less effort.
Paid Social Media Hack #1: Free Clicks!
My all-time top paid social media hack has to do with free clicks. You want them, I want them, everybody wants them – and paid social delivers!
This hack is sort of a variation on the buy-one-get-one principle, except you buy one click/like/retweet and often get three or more for free.
So there you have it – my top 10 paid social media hacks. Hopefully you've learned some new techniques and ideas that you can try in your own campaigns.


The Housing Tax Credit (HTC) Program is one of the primary means of directing private capital toward the development and preservation of affordable rental housing for low-income households. The tax credits are awarded to eligible participants and provide a source of equity financing for the development of affordable housing. Investors in qualified affordable multifamily residential developments can use the HTCs as a dollar-for-dollar reduction of federal income tax liability. The value associated with the HTCs allows housing to be leased to qualified families at below market rate rents. The Non-Competitive (4%) Housing Tax Credit program is coupled with the Multifamily Bond Program when the bonds finance at least 50% of the cost of the land and buildings in the Development. There are a variety of bond issuers (PDF) in the State from which to select, with some limitations on the location of the development. For more information, visit the FAQs page. For bond issuer or bond information, visit the Multifamily Bonds page.
Visit the Apply for Funds page for the Uniform Multifamily Application and supplemental program materials needed to complete your application. Visit the NOFAs and Rules page for the Uniform Multifamily Rules and Qualified Allocation Plan detailing scoring, threshold, and other requirements.
Please refer to the 4% HTC Bond Status Log for active TDHCA#s.
