What happens if the obligor doesn't pay child support?
The court cannot enforce child support without an enforceable court order.
However, if there is a properly drafted court order that contains a child support obligation, then that child support obligation can be enforced. (It is imperative that the obligee seek competent legal counsel to ensure a proper child support obligation is established in the court order.) Basically, the obligee files a motion with the court to enforce the child support obligation, and enforcement proceedings against the obligor commences.
If there is no court order in place, the proposed obligee should consult with an attorney or contact the Office of the Attorney General with assistance in obtaining a court order to establish child support.
What if I'm the obligor but I can't pay my child support?

Weekend of Horrors Day 3
The final day of the Los Angeles Weekend of Horrors was a bit of a non-event for myself and Jasper, but there were a couple of panels we didn't want to miss. We got in the car and braved the dangerously slick streets of Burbank, CA to see John Carl Buechler (FX artist / Director) and the Heroes and Heroines panel featuring Fred Williamson, John Saxon, Jim Kelly and others. We swooped into the auditorium as an auction of various memorabilia pieces was going on. All throughout the weekend, each panelist would stride over to these huge banners flanking the stage and scrawl a little something on it. Apparently, people want these things! A Bruce Campbell banner went for around $400, a full hundred more than a Schechter guitar signed by virtually every attendant of the previous Weekend of Horrors event (Dario Argento, Robert Englund, etc.) The auction was exciting and intense, as the event coordinator called out for bids and the prices jumped up.
"Reptilians" head and Skeleton head from cut end scene of Friday the 13th Part VII.
This led directly into John Carl Buechler's panel as the auction had run over about ten minutes. John came onstage with a big plastic tub full of random appliances and sculptures from his varied film career, including a full-size Troll, the Gingerdead Man and a sculpture of Jason's head and shoulders from his entry into the series, Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood. It was great to see some examples of the work and added a lot to the experience. They even let us all run up to the stage and take pictures, paparazzi-style after it was all said and done. John talked about his influences, citing King Kong as his first inspiration when he saw it at the age of three, and his frustrating experiences at the hands of the MPAA who decided to cut the gore out of almost every scene he shot in Friday the 13th VII: The New Blood. He also described a conflict with one of the producers on the film, who objected to showing Jason's face, and in turn axed an entire sequence at the end of the film featuring an animatronic skeleton, of which the head was on display and looked great. It all served as a reminder that sometimes we might lump the blame for a lack of gore or shitty editing on the directors of the film, but it's really the suits behind them that are doing the castration.
Jason with Mushroom creature from Troll
He also talked about a new TV project that I believe was called Reptilians, produced by Roger Corman. In order to make the series though, Corman roped John into making Tyrannosaurus Wrecks AKA The Eden Formula, a movie John described as "Die Hard meets Carnosaur." Corman wanted it to be made in a way that would allow for generous use of stock Carnosaur footage and Buechler obliged. Apparently the results are awful and played as a total comedy, so Jasper and I are both very excited to check out this trashy cash-in. After the panel, I couldn't contain my fanboy urges and I talked to John Carl Buechler for a few minutes. I think I was coherent for most of it, and tried to communicate my genuine love for his work. It was fun and I hope I didn't come off as too much of a gushing nerd.
We then waited patiently for the final panel we were going to attend, the Heroes and Heroines of Exploitation Cinema. There were about seven chairs on stage, so while I hadn't seen a number of the panelists around that day, I was sure that they were simply waiting in the wings. As the minutes ticked away so did the chairs, and we ended up with only three panelists. Joe Pilato from Day of the Dead, Adrienne King from Friday the 13th and Sybil Danning from Howling II. It was very disappointing from our standpoint, but the resulting talk was enjoyable enough even in its shrunken nature. All during the weekend in quiet moments of the panels, the Puppet Master theme blared into the room from the Full Moon booth across from the door. It was amusing as well as a bit disrespectful, but you do what you gotta do to sell some DVDs. The disrespect of the Full Moon booth was immensely outshadowed during the Heroes and Heroines panel, as Creation Entertainment thought it was a good idea to hold the True Blood autograph event behind a curtain at stage left in the middle of the panel. An employee signaled the first row, who made a mass exodus right in the middle of the talk. The panelists didn't know what was going on and looked genuinely hurt by it. This continued throughout the panel. The queued assholes even had the balls to be loud while they were in line to get their bullshit TV-vampire signatures and Joe Bob Briggs at one point told them all to hold it down. They should be glad that Fred Williamson, John Saxon and Jim Kelly weren't there to really bring down the heat.
All in all, Weekend of Horrors was a fun event with some good panels from many Horror icons and unsung heroes. I'm looking forward to next year!

The Jusoor Hardship Fund is helping Syrian students pursue their dreams of higher education
The Jusoor Hardship Fund is helping Syrian students like Fawaz pursue their dreams of higher education.
For Fawaz, the routine of academic life was the only sense of normality after the conflict began in Syria. "University kept me going. We still had normal work, labs, reports, classes." Fawaz recalls the daily reality of electricity cuts, food shortages, and being separated from family members scattered across continents in search of refuge and work. "I think I blocked most of the small details from that time. Everything was in total chaos," he said.
Fawaz dreamed of going to university in the U.S. to study biology and music, and although he was able to secure a scholarship, he wasn't able to afford the financial costs. Instead, Fawaz accepted a one-year exchange scholarship to a German university which covered his living expenses.
Fawaz faced many obstacles studying in Germany, including prejudice and the uncertainty of whether he would obtain his degree. Fawaz said, "I got the degree, but I was in Germany with 500 euros left on me and no job. I had to start building from there."
Determined to build a new life, Fawaz found part-time work in a research centre in Bonn and set his sights on his next endeavour: a master degrees in bioinformatics. Fawaz managed to secure an unpaid internship in bioinformatics in Cologne and was eventually accepted into a masters program. Fawaz continued to pursue his dream of higher education despite the heavy workload and financial burden.
Fawaz received Jusoor's Hardship Fund scholarship to help him continue his studies. "I saw the Hardship Fund scholarship on the website and I applied. I got an interest-free $5,000 loan, which I used to live off of for more than one semester until I finished my classes," he said.
Fawaz is hoping to start a PhD this autumn and earn a regular income so that he can begin repaying the loan. He said,
"I was struggling and then I got the Jusoor Hardship loan; it was a huge validation for me. This encouragement is like saying to someone, what you're doing is right, you're going on the right path, you are good enough. Even a small prize or small scholarship gives a huge push to someone trying to pursue their dreams."
Fawaz continued, "It is a struggle, but there is support for us. Organizations like Jusoor do help when they see someone who is good enough and is willing to take the help and do something with it."
Fawaz believes others should pursue their dreams despite the challenges. He said, "It is a long, tough road you have to take, but you get through. It's never the end. It's never too late. You have to try."
Click here to find out more about the Jusoor Hardship Fund. Applications open on 1st November 2019. To date, the scholarship has been awarded to 27 outstanding Syrian scholars around the world pursuing their bachelor and master degrees.

IP MAN KICKS IN THE FACE
So to all my movie fanatics who love all things movies, if you've seen the IP Man movies then you know where I'm going with this. Just recently I've finished the series with the epic finale movie IP MAN 4 The final.
This movie starts out with IP man (Donnie Yen) just trying to find a better life for him and his rebellious son, IP Man travels to America to find a suitable school for his son to start a new life but as things turn out things are not always greener on the other side.
Along his travels he meets up with one of his former students Bruce Lee played by ( Danny Chan Kwok -Kwan) and gets to witness Bruce lee's Chinese martial arts (Spoiler Alert) as he fights a karate instructor and wins, from there he continues to search out for a school for his son but still continues to deal with immigration during that time period.
Was solid, it just dragged a little to start out as we find out that Ip Man has been diagnosed with throat cancer and now has to deal with the complications of that and finding his son a suitable school, with all the immigration and separation of people to fit in america it was very difficult as you have people who think the Chinese have no right to be apart of america should just go back to where they come from, and think that Chinese martial arts has no right to be a part of the armies military combat but is proven wrong at the end when IP man defeats the crazed Sargent who thinks Chinese martial arts is a joke.
In this movie the hand to hand combat was top of the line with IP Man displaying his wing chun technique and also fighting with one hand had me on the edge of my seat like wow and seeing how IP Man's Technique is on pare with any fight.
Only thing that keeps me from giving this a perfect 10 is that it was slow starting but it's still great to watch.
My opinion this was a great solid movie, I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. Go check it out.

Besides his regular appearances in Finland's leading underground clubs, Ender travels constantly to play venues around the world. It's mostly house, funk, jazz and latin stuff that he collects, but as Ender admits he seems to have a soft spot for tracks with a deeper feel, maybe due to his techno background. "I'd like to see myself as a DJ who plays music - not genres", he points out.
Ender started DJ'ing in the late eighties when the first wave of Acid House hit Finland. In a classic DIY spirit he quickly took to organizing warehouse-parties with his friend JA-Jazz (Pepe Deluxé). "Those were 100 percent chaotic experiences. We lacked proper equipment and knowledge of what this new electronic music was really all about. Nevertheless we managed to pull things off somehow, mostly due to our enthusiasm rather than skill, I must say." Few years later legendary Club Deep followed, setting standards for the evolving club scene. Ever since his name has stood for quality among the groove aficionados in Finland.
Although Ender primarily considers himself a DJ he has managed to come a long way as a producer as well. Teaming up with Marko L. he founded Function Recordings in 1995 that would serve as an alternative forum for Finnish instrumental electronic music. In 1998 Nuspirit Helsinki, an unorthodox collective of musicians and DJs, masterminded by Ender and Thomas K, was formed. Since it's first release on Guidance-label it has successfully sought new musical frontiers in the forefront of the nu-jazz scene.
Besides his remixes with JA Jazz for labels such as Perfect Toy and Nuevo Ritmo, Ender has found time to experiment with new material as well. On this project, titled "hannulelauri" he is teaming-up with his dj colleague, Lauri Soini and has had major success releasing disco infected music on labels such as Eskimo, Relish, I'm a Cliche and his very own Seahorse and Castle.


Boarding airplanes with lithium-ion batteries has been a hot topic for a while now. Even more so since rules changed again end of last year. It has resulted in various companies going out of business this month. The main reason for their issues was the fact that the rules hold that the batteries should be removable; something that wasn't the case for their smart luggage products.
Linky's battery is removable and has the right paperwork, and therefore you will face no issues when flying with your board. Just make sure that you know what to do!
The most important thing is that both the battery and the remote are kept in hand luggage. If you want to put the board itself in hold luggage, this means that you will have to remove the battery before packing. No worries, this is an easy procedure, which you can review in this video.
In addition to keeping the battery and the remote in your hand luggage, also make sure that you bring the battery's certificates. These were shipped in the box, but can be requested again by sending us a direct message via Facebook or an email to sales@linkyinnovation.com.
Looking for a good bag to travel with? Of course the backpack that came with your order is great, but if you need more space, why not get the big Voyage Bag! You can order it via Indiegogo.
Enjoy your weekend and have fun on all your trips!

A reminder to ALWAYS listen to your patients.
Nurses Nursing
VizslaMom
Last night, one of our patients told a nurse (early on in the shift), "I'm crapping out on you tonight.".
Okay - PuhLease don't say that in an ICU!!
Gives me the heebee-geebees when a pt. says something like that to me.
He coded and passed away between 0430 and 0500 this morning.
Moral of the story: ALWAYS listen to your patients.
Why is it that these patients usually know when "IT" is going to happen? :stone
VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN
Specializes in LTC, assisted living, med-surg, psych. Has 20 years experience.
I agree with you........whenever a patient tells me "something's wrong", I jump right on it, because otherwise it's likely to bite both of us in the butt at some point, usually sooner rather than later!
I also pay close attention when someone says they're going to die soon....9 times out of 10, they're right.
abundantjoy07, RN
Specializes in ER, Medicine.
Has any patient ever explained how he or she felt before they die? Is it a malaise type feeling or something else? As a nurse, can you just look at them and tell (not reading labs)?
I hate that. I had a guy a couple of years ago (I work ED) who told me, "please don't let me die." Well, he had a AAA, it dissected and out the door he went. I always believe patients.
Audreyfay
Specializes in Everything but psych!. Has 31 years experience.
I had a patient who started saying "I'm going, I'm going" as a coworker and I were inserting a feeding tube. Yup. He died. He was a no code.
I had a guy in his 70's who asked me after I took his blood pressure if he was going to live. He was joking around, appearing very chipper. He was in the hospital for some elective surgery. 'Nothing wrong with you!" I joked back. About 30 minutes later he coded. He did make it, but now I never tell anyone stuff like that.
I had another guy in his late 30's who came in for diabetes education. His lipids were through the ceiling and his blood sugars were a close second. I told him that I was real concerned that he could have a heart attack. We need to work toward getting him back into better health. He came back to see me about 2 months later. He told me that the day after he saw me, he had a heart attack and had undergone emergency bypass surgery. He was doing quite well. I decided I'd never say that again either.
Am I superstitious, or what?
proudmommielpn
Here is one, this is when I was working as a CNA, I went in and told this resident I would be back in to help her get ready for a shower, I left towels and washcloths and she said "Do I really have to take one today?" I told her it was her shower day and I would be back in about 30 minutes to help her. She told me, I am not taking one today, I left the room and another CNA came into the room I was in about 10 minutes later and said the lady in 148 just died. This isn't really funny but I often wonder if one of the last things that she thought about was, "I told her I wasn't showering today" That was weird.
Roy Fokker, BSN, RN
Specializes in ER/Trauma.
I can't comprehend that feeling... knowing that you are at the edge.
obeyacts2
I believe that pts do know when they are going, especially the hospice pts. I had one lady with CA, not (supposedly) near checkout time,, who did this. The CNA leaving said something like "Well, I wont be back to Monday, so take care and Laura will be in my place" The pt said (hugging the CNA) "Thank you for all you've done, but I wont be needing you by then. Im leaving 8:00 Saturday night". We were all shocked. as she was still ambulatory and beating me at Scrabble (former English teacher, LOL). Two days later, it was Saturday and the on-call scheduling coordinator called me as I was getting ready to go to work. I said "Mrs B just passed, didnt she?" She did, within a few minutes of 8:00.
Wow! I'm getting "Thin Red Line" refferences all day today!
I wondered what it'd be like when I died, to know that this was the last breath you was ever going to draw. I just hoped I could meet it with the same calm she (Mother) did. Cause that's where it's hidden. The immortality I hadn't seen.
Marie_LPN, RN, LPN, RN
Specializes in 5 yrs OR, ASU Pre-Op 2 yr. ER.
It gives me the creeps when a pt. told me that. I always believed them. And when i was an aide, i would tell the nurse if a res. told me that, and they would laugh at me. Unfortunately they would be proven wrong.
And every single time the code blue alarm goes off at work, i get goosebumps.

My grandfather was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the hospital, given 3 months, and discharged home on a Sunday. He was bed bound because he was weak but otherwise doing okay. On Tuesday he asked when the grandkids were coming to visit. When my grandmother and mother told him we would be there that very weekend he said, "No, that will be too late." My grandmother and mother totally disregarded what he said because the doctor said 3 months and he seemed to be doing so well. He passed away the next day.
My father was also diagnosed with terminal cancer and I travelled to visit him every weekend for months. He asked a nurse on a Friday how long she thought he had and she said he was doing fine and it could be months yet (according to the doctor's orignial estimation it was still about 8). He was doing so well that weekend, same as always it seemed like. On Sunday I'd hugged him good bye and was turning to leave when he grabbed my hand hard, and said, "Take care sweetie, you have a good life, okay?" On Tuesday he made my mom bring him the phone so he could call his family and friends and say good-bye. Then he slipped deep into that morphine induced stupor and was uncommunicable except for a few words a few more times. The last words I heard before he slipped into a final coma were, "I'm almost dead now," and then "I'll miss you.
They know, they definitely know.

I'm always amazed at the ability of some patients to hang on to wait for that last family member they want to see fly in from the east coast. It seems once they've seen everyone they want to see, then they go. People do know but I've never had anyone be able to describe the feeling to me.

In my facility they really don't seem to know as much, but on occasion one pops up with a I am going to die and it takes about a week after that.
The interesting thing I have noticed is that as long as their is family in the room they don't go...but send them out for lunch or a good nights sleep and yep..there they go. It is like they are holding out till they aren't in the room! I had one patient who's family wouldn't leave her side..and the poor woman needed to go (hospice and in a lot of pain and respiratory difficulty at the end)...well it happed that there was a time where only her daughter was in the room, and she went downstairs to stretch her legs and get a coffee...yep, enough time and the lady died fast before she returned. It is really wierd!

over here we say that terminally ill patients have a 'look and smell' about them. You usually know when someone is going to die. They just have a look about them. I really cant explain it more than that.

Some know and express it, and accept it...some fight to the end and will not outwardly acknowledge or accept death. We learn to treat people as individuals...their responses will be as individual as they are, in my experience.

When I worked LTC I had a lol with CHF who had just been admitted to hospice and who was doing so much better, (I thought) this lady ALWAYS walked to the dining room for every meal and one evening when I was doing her CBG she said "I think I will just eat in my room tonight" I asked her if she was feeling bad and she said "I didn't get much sleep last night and I am very tired, so I'll just eat in here and then turn in early if it is ok" I assured her that that would be fine and told her to get a good rest and she would feel better in the morning. The aide took her her tray to her as I was leaving the room and when she went back about 20 minutes later to get it the lady was dead. She had ate almost 100% of her dinner she had her dessert bowl in her left hand and her spoon in her right and was sitting up dead as could be. Was the first time I ever lost a pt. After that if a res. c/o being tired it gave me the creeps, I was like a first time mom going in every few minutes to make sure they were still breathing.
I remember a sweet little old lady in failing health, AMI in my ICU who had Alzheimers. Suddenly she started reaching upward and smiling, conversing with someone we could not see. Her family members became very upset when she told them they were angels...and tried to argue with her and 'bring her back' to reality. She hung on for quite a long time..at odds with loved ones.... for their sake.

Auburn's offense moved the ball a little better with Franklin orchestrating two extended drives into the red zone.
Franklin was 4 of 8 for 37 yards and ran the ball nine times for 59 yards.
Malzahn defended White's performance when asked if the quarterback failed to make adjustments after going 6 for 6 to start the game. The sophomore ended up 18 for 27 with 126 yards.
According to multiple offensive players, the first thing White did after Malzahn delivered the news was seek out Franklin to help the backup get ready.
Kozan also backed up Malzahn's assessment that White shouldn't take all the blame for Auburn's offensive woes.
Franklin has appeared in all three of Auburn's games this season. He was part of a since abandoned three-man rotation at quarterback in week one then got into a 51-14 win over Arkansas St. last week with the game well in held.
The loss dropped White's record as a starter to 4-5.
Neither of Auburn's quarterback was made available to talk to the media after the game.


Originally Published: July 2, 2018 6:01 a.m.
PHOENIX — Key state lawmakers want to take advantage of a new U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which lets states collect online sales taxes.
But they don't want it to be a new burden on taxpayers here.
House Speaker J.D. Mesnard said he sees no reason why purchases made by Arizonans on the Internet should be exempt from the state's 5.6 percent sales tax while local brick-and-mortar retailers are forced to collect the levy.
"We haven't had the authority before now,'' the Chandler Republican said.
All that changed on June 21 when the nation's high court ruled that South Dakota could enforce its law requiring many out-of-state businesses to collect taxes on sales made to local residents.
Prior to that, courts had said sales taxes could apply only to businesses with a physical "nexus'' to a state, whether that meant having local retailers, offices or warehouses.
That's why Amazon in 2012 agreed to begin collecting sales taxes in Arizona after state revenue officials began proceedings against the company based on the fact it has "fulfillment centers'' in the state. That deal settled the $53 million assessment against it that had been made by the state Department of Revenue.
It's for the same reason that Arizonans purchasing from web sites run by companies like Walmart and Target end up paying the same state sales taxes as if they had bought the items in local stores.
Purchase from others with no clear links to the state, however, have gone untaxed because of that "nexus'' rule —the on the Supreme Court threw out.
How much is out there is unclear. In a report last year, before the court ruling, the federal Government Accountability Office estimated that state and local governments could pick up another $8 billion to $13 billion a year by taxing online sales.
The agency's predictions for Arizona, both at the state and local level, ranged from $190 million to $293 million a year, though some of that would go to cities and counties, both in the form of shared state revenues and their own local levies.
But if state-only dollars increase by just 2 percent — the lower end of the GAO prediction of untaxed sales — that still amounts to an additional $94 million a year into the state treasury.
The key, he said, is what Arizona would do with any new revenues.
"I have always been one to consider if we can lower taxes in one place and broaden the base is not (a) bad idea,'' Farnsworth said.
The trick, said Farnsworth, is figuring out how to do that — and do it in a fair way. His preference: Cut income taxes. But Farnsworth said he's divided as to whether that should reduce the corporate levy, which already has been cut by close to a third in the past decade, or trim individual income tax rates.
Mesnard shares that desire for a net neutral overall tax burden.
"I have never advocated from the perspective of taking more from taxpayers,'' he said. And Mesnard said that new, and unexpected, revenues provide opportunities to consider how to reform the overall tax structure.
But he's not sure whether that should involve cutting overall income tax rates, increasing deductions or perhaps lowering the sales tax rate.
"That's a level that hasn't been developed because, up until now, this really wasn't a reality,'' Mesnard said.
Several states already are on track to cut taxes to compensate for new revenues.
The Associated Press reports that a 2016 South Dakota law which raised the state sales tax half a percent, to 4.5 percent, requires that rate to be reduced by one-tenth of a percent for every additional $20 million the state collects from Internet sales. And Wisconsin has a 2013 law requiring a dollar-for-dollar cut in state income taxes if that state can collect revenues from online sales.
But Rep. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, said the question for lawmakers here is not limited to whether to tax Internet sales. She said the state needs to look at the larger question of digital goods that also are purchased online.
Earlier this year she shepherded a bill through the House to forbid the state from imposing its sales tax on everything from digital books and videos to cloud-based software, online storage and web-hosting services.
Ugenti-Rita, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, said the state needs clarity on what is -- and is not -- taxable, saying that both the state Department of Revenue as well a individual cities have been less than forthcoming in providing details. She said if lawmakers don't set down some clear rules, the courts will intercede.
The measure, however, failed to clear the Senate.
Daniel Scarpinato, press aide to Gov. Doug Ducey, said his boss has reached no conclusion on whether Arizona law should be altered to permit taxation of Internet sales, much less what the state should do with any additional revenues. The problem, he said, starts with the lack of information.
"It's very much a hypothetical,'' he said.
First is the question of whether the Republican-controlled Legislature would approve expanding the tax base to include online sales. And then there's the numbers game.
"Having seen numerous estimates on these kinds of things over the years, it's very difficult for us to know what kind of revenue we would actually see,'' Scarpinato said.
But he said that Ducey does have a some philosophical touchstones on the question.
"He doesn't want Arizonans to pay more taxes,'' Scarpinato said.
And if there are new revenues, Scarpinato said the governor would want to take a closer look at how to allocate those dollars.
"Any time we make a change, we want to do it through a prism of are we improving the overall tax code and making it simpler,'' he said.

MLS Returning To What Should Be An Exciting Season
By March 16, 2021
Major League Soccer is on the horizon again with the league's 27 franchises getting ready to battle in what will hopefully be a full season of play. MLS will welcome new faces in the shape of Austin FC and it will be fascinating to see how quickly this expansion team can get things going. Picking up as many points as possible will be Austin's aim, while at the other end of the spectrum, it could be a tight finish at the top.
Following an unscheduled break in the 2020 campaign, last season was eventually decided in mid-December with the Columbus Crew being crowned MLS Cup champs (Crew's second-ever title), amid overcoming defending champions (and favorites) the Seattle Sounders, in the final. The 3-0 win provided something of an upset, but it had been a positive overall campaign for coach Caleb Porter's men. Other teams to go deep into the playoffs included conference semifinalists Minnesota United FC and the New England Revolution. The above four franchises (minus Austin) will be aiming for big seasons once again, but according to the sportsbooks, we should be looking elsewhere for our 2021 MLS Cup winner.
The Verdict for 2021
Those US bookmakers linked to sbo.net list Los Angeles FC as the narrow favorites to claim the Cup, at the end of the season. In a tight chasing pack, Toronto FC, plus the 2020 finalists from Columbus and Seattle are close behind. In 2020, LAFC advanced to the playoffs, but were quickly bounced by the Sounders. Since their formation in 2018, the ''Black and Gold'' have yet to advance to the final round, so their position at the top of the betting market may come as a surprise. LA are the favorites for glory this season and they are looking strong. South American stars Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi provide their biggest threat and LAFC will not be short of goals in the upcoming campaign.
Those markets will continue to be updated as the season draws closer and sbo.net will also provide their readers with opinion articles and any significant MLS news developments. Offers and promotions are also in place for anyone who wants to consider taking their interest a little further.
David Beckham's Inter Miami made a steady, if unspectacular start to life in the MLS. The team known as The Herons finished in tenth place in the Eastern Conference, before exiting early in the postseason. Miami is not expected to claim MLS glory just yet; it is very much the early days in their development, but they could go deeper into the tournament than many suspect. Beckham has overseen a change on the sidelines, bringing in his former Manchester United teammate Phil Neville in as the new Inter Miami coach, replacing Diego Alonso.
There has been some changes to the playing roster too with Neville trading for the experienced English defender Ryan Shawcross. Two further high profile internationals - France's Blaise Matuidi and Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain - were part of the playing staff last season and, as the team gels, Miami could go much deeper this time.
Another team to attract interest is Toronto FC, who won the MLS Cup back in 2017. The Canadian club enjoyed a strong regular season, finishing second in the Eastern Conference, just three points behind the league leading Philadelphia Union. Toronto subsequently crashed out in the first playoff round, but they certainly have the quality to go much further in 2021. Toronto has an experienced squad and they will rely, once again, on the goals of Jozy Altidore. The USMNT international had a poor campaign in 2020, scoring just twice, but an improvement in that return could see the Canadians battling for the trophy once again.
A Successful Defense?
Last year's finalists, the Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders, are looking strong once again. With some subtle changes to each playing roster, both teams are fully expected to make it out of the regular season and compete strongly in the playoffs. When MLS does return, it will provide us with a fascinating few months of soccer and there are several teams with a shot at glory in 2021.

This famous roboticist doesn't think Elon Musk understands AI
Connie Loizos	@Cookie / 3 years
Earlier this week, at the campus of MIT, TechCrunch had the chance to sit down with famed roboticist Rodney Brooks, the founding director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the cofounder of both iRobot and Rethink Robotics.
Brooks had a lot to say about AI, including his overarching concern that many people — including renowned AI alarmist Elon Musk — get it very wrong, in his view.
Brooks also warned that despite investors' fascination with robotics right now, many VCs may underestimate how long these companies will take to build — a potential problem for founders down the road.
Our chat, edited for length, follows.
TC: You started iRobot when there was no venture funding, back in 1990. You started Rethink in 2008, when there was funding but not a lot of interest in robotics. Now, there are both, which seemingly makes it a better time to start a robotics company. Is it?
RB: A lot of Silicon Valley and Boston VCs sort of fall over themselves about how they're funding robotics [now], so you [as a founder] can get heard.
Despite [investors who say there is plenty of later-stage funding for robotics] , I think it's hard for VCs to understand how long these far-out robotics systems will really take to get to where they can get a return on their investment, and I think that'll be crunch time for some founders.
TC: There's also more competition and more patents that have been awarded, and a handful of companies have most of the world's data. Does that make them insurmountable?
RB: Someone starting a robotics company today should be thinking that maybe at some point, in order to grow, they're going to have to get bought by a large company that has the deep pockets to push it further. The ecosystem would still use the VC funding to prune out the good ideas from the bad ideas, but going all the way to an IPO may be hard.
Second thing: On this data, yes, machine learning is fantastic, it can do a lot, but there are a lot of things that need to be solved that are not just purely software; some of the big innovations [right now] have been new sorts of electric motors and controls systems and gear boxes.
TC: You're writing a book on AI, so I have to ask you: Elon Musk expressed again this past weekend that AI is an existential threat. Agree? Disagree?
RB: There are quite a few people out there who've said that AI is an existential threat: Stephen Hawking, astronomer Royal Martin Rees, who has written a book about it, and they share a common thread, in that: they don't work in AI themselves. For those who do work in AI, we know how hard it is to get anything to actually work through product level.
Here's the reason that people – including Elon – make this mistake. When we see a person performing a task very well, we understand the competence [involved]. And I think they apply the same model to machine learning. [But they shouldn't.] When people saw DeepMind's AlphaGo beat the Korean champion and then beat the Chinese Go champion, they thought, 'Oh my god, this machine is so smart, it can do just about anything!' But I was at DeepMind in London about three weeks ago and [they admitted that things could easily have gone very wrong].
TC: But Musk's point isn't that it's smart but that it's going to be smart, and we need to regulate it now.
RB: So you're going to regulate now. If you're going to have a regulation now, either it applies to something and changes something in the world, or it doesn't apply to anything. If it doesn't apply to anything, what the hell do you have the regulation for? Tell me, what behavior do you want to change, Elon? By the way, let's talk about regulation on self-driving Teslas, because that's a real issue.
TC: You've raised interesting points about this in your writings, noting that the biggest worry about autonomous cars – whether they'll have to choose between driving into a gaggle of baby strollers versus a group of elderly women – is absurd, considering how often that particular scenario happens today.
RB: There are some ethical questions that I think will slow down the adoption of cars. I live just a few blocks [from MIT]. And three times in the last three weeks, I have followed every sign and found myself at a point where I can either stop and wait for six hours, or drive the wrong way down a one-way street. Should autonomous cars be able to decide to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if they're stuck? What if a 14-year-old riding in an Uber tries to override it, telling it to go down that one-way street? Should a 14-year-old be allowed to 'drive' the car by voice? There will be a whole set of regulations that we're going to have to have, that people haven't even begun to think about, to address very practical issues.
TC: You obviously think robots are very complementary to humans, though there will be job displacement.
RB: Yes, there's no doubt and it will be difficult for the people who are being displaced. I think the role in factories, for instance, will shift from people doing manual work to people supervising. We have a tradition in manufacturing equipment that it has horrible user interfaces and it's hard and you have to take courses, whereas in consumer electronics [as with smart phones], we have made the machines we use teach the people how to use them. And I do think we need to change our attitude in industrial equipment and other sorts of equipment, to make the machines teach the people how to use them.
TC: But do we run the risk of not taking this displacement seriously enough? Isn't the reason we have our current administration because we aren't thinking enough about the people who will be impacted, particularly in the middle of the country?
RB: There's a sign that maybe I should have seen and didn't. When I started Rethink Robotics, it was called Heartland Robotics. I'd just come off six years of being an adviser to the CEO of John Deere; I'd visited every John Deere factory. I could see the aging population. I could see they couldn't get workers to replace the aging population. So I started Heartland Robotics to build robotics to help the heartland.
It's no longer called Heartland Robotics because I started to get comments like, "Why didn't you just come out and call it Bible Belt Robotics?" The people in the Midwest thought we were making fun of them. I should have now, in retrospect, thought of that a little deeper.
TC: If you hadn't started Rethink, what else would you want to be focused on right now?
RB: I'm a robotics guy, so every problem I think I can solve has a robotics solution. But what are the sorts of things that are important to humankind, which the current model of either large companies investing in or VCs investing in, aren't going to solve? For instance: plastics in the ocean. It's getting worse; it's contaminating our food chain. But it's the problem of the commons. Who is going to fund a startup company to get rid of plastics in the ocean? Who's going to fund that, because who's going to [provide a return for those investors] down the line?
So I'm more interested in finding places where robotics can help the world but there's no way currently of getting the research or the applications funded.
TC: You're thought as the father of modern robotics. Do you feel like you have to be out there, evangelizing on the part of robotics and roboticists, so people understand the benefits, rather than focus on potential dangers?
RB: It's why I'm right now writing a book on AI and robotics and the future — because people are getting too scared about the wrong things and not thinking enough about what the real implications will be.

CEH Standing for Children's Health at EPA
Feb 21, 2017Caroline Cox
With the Trump administration aiming at massive cuts to environmental regulations, and with Scott Pruitt confirmed as the new Chief Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is clear that we cannot count on federal protections from harmful chemicals. As noted by the Center for American Progress, Pruitt has regularly sided with corporate polluters over children's health, including suing EPA to end rules to protect children and families from mercury pollution, toxic air emissions, and other health standards.
CEH is standing up for environmental and health protections that matter to all Americans. I previously served as a member of the EPA's advisory committee on pesticide policies, and I am now pleased to be serving on the advisory committee to the agency's Office of Children's Health Protection. The Office will be an important front in standing up to the Trump administration's attacks on the agency.
The Office addresses the unique vulnerabilities of children, who are more at risk from dangerous chemicals because their bodies (and brains) are still developing, they eat, drink and breathe more in proportion to their body size, and their behaviors can expose them more to chemicals and organisms. As a member of the advisory committee, I feel strongly about the importance of the Office's mission to protect American children. After all, we must speak up for children who are too young to stand up and speak for themselves.
The Office is tiny, by government standards. Fifteen staff are outnumbered by the volunteers on the advisory committee. Since its founding in 1998, the Office has spoken up for children, mostly at the request of the EPA Administrator. For example, among other projects, the advisory committee has:
Prepared guidance on the special risks to children posed by blue-green algae, information used by health authorities to alert parents nationwide.
Pushed for adjusting air quality standards to protect children from lead exposures.
Provided research on climate change and increased threats to children's health.
Worked in support of the National Agenda to Protect Children's Health from Environmental Threats.
Currently, the advisory committee is working on guidance to the Administrator about the most effective policy changes to reduce lead hazards to children as well as priorities for protecting children in the implementation of the new amendments to TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act).
Many parts of EPA are in the crosshairs of the new administration. It's too soon to tell if this Office will live or die. But really, shouldn't there be some place in government's mammoth bureaucracy that's just looking out for kids? Shouldn't our kids' health transcend political ideology?
In the face of Trump's growing threats to our health and democracy, CEH will continue to push for strong protections for our children, at the local, state and federal levels. Our children's future depends on it.

Ebyline Gives Power to Freelancers and Publishers
By Marisa Peacock | Sep 10, 2010
CHANNEL: Web Publishing
It's hard out there for a freelancer. But that's what you get for wearing your pajamas to work, right? Yesterday, we would have said yes. Today, we say show me the Ebyline.
Giving Freelancers an Ebyline
Ebyline, which launched this week, aims to give freelance writers a safe place from which to market their content to publishers, while making it easier to manage the logistics of payments and deadlines that come with it. Although freelance writers can revel in the freedom of writing what they want when they want, most of the time they find themselves spending too much time generating invoices and trying to follow up for subsequent payments.
Ebyline lets freelancers self-syndicate through an online platform, which allows them the freedom and ability to pitch ideas, sell finished work to news organizations and negotiate fees with publishers. The service provides access for professional journalists only, which Ebyline defines as freelancers with a track record in the business.
Giving Publishers More Opportunities
But enough about freelancers, it's publishers who really benefit. Ebyline affords them new opportunities to make money, save money, while giving them the ability to buy stories á la carte from freelance writers, and to buy and sell their news content directly with publishers.
So far, Variety Magazine, ProPublica, Minnpost.com and the Texas Observer have signed on to provide content, as well as a number of freelancers from places like The Journalism Shop and The Sports Media Exchange, which help accomplished journalists find freelance work.
Like publishers and freelancers alike, Ebyline also relies on funding to stay alive. First round funding has come from angel investors. As the marketplace grows, so does the hope that it can be self-sustained.
At present, there are no subscription fees or no upfront costs -- which makes it free for all who sign up. Buyers pay an 8 percent transaction fee only once an individual sale is final and partners are likely to price stories between $US$ 25 - $300.

A new Federal Reserve study shows that US economic activity is beginning to stabilize. The survey, released on September 9th, indicated that all but one of the Fed's 12 "regions" had begun to balance out. Most businesses in the regions were "cautiously positive" according to an AP press release. This survey aligned with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and other financial analysts' predictions that the economy has started to grow again.
Of the 12 regions, Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Richmond, and San Francisco reported "signs of improvement," and Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis and New York were, "stable or showing signs of stabilization." The Dallas region communicated that economic activity had "firmed". The only region to indicate a decline in economic activity was the St. Louis region. However, they did report that the decline had begun "moderating".
Most of the Fed regions were "cautiously positive" about the economy and analysts were forecasting growth in the current July-September quarter at an annual rate of around 3-4%. This growth was expected from businesses loosening their grip on spending.
While the Fed stopped short of declaring a victory, they did state that economic activity was evening out and that inflation would remain "subdued for some time". The central bank also cautioned that unemployment would remain high and that they would keep their interest rates near zero for the foreseeable future.
I have used Orion's services twice; once in October 2007 when I was hired as a Pace Technician for an oil & gas company; and the second time in the beginning of 2009. I was placed with Mafi-Trench Co. as a Field Service Engineer, and I started this new position in April 2009.
I now work in natural gas separation and geothermal energy as a Field Service Engineer for Mafi-Trench. A typical day for me when I am in Houston is me at home and on call, which is roughly six months out of the year. When I am out on a job, my day consists of driving to the job site and meeting up with a prearranged contact to discuss the problems that are occurring with the machine or plc, and then working with the facility personnel to fix the problem, which could be either electrical or mechanical. My day can also start with a site visit, where I go through a check list and make sure that all the ducks are in a row, so that when the facility wants to start they should encounter only minimal difficulties.
Since being out of the military, I have never had a doubt of whether or not I made the right choice to separate. Even with the recession, I was able to get a job offer through Orion. All in all, if I could do it all over again, I would not change a thing.

Confrontation in the workplace is almost entirely unavoidable. A vast mix of personalities with different interests and opinions make up the modern workplace and create differences on a regular basis. Whether you are on the factory floor, chatting with a co-worker, or in a management meeting, these tips can help you get through confrontational situations.
An article titled "Dealing with Confrontations in the Workplace" on www.businessknowledgesource.com suggests changing your perception of what confrontation is. First, start by realizing that conflict is not neccessarily a negative thing. It can actually be quite helpful if dealt with in an appropriate manner. Properly handling a confrontation should always make you a better employee, regardless of whether you are the confronter or confronted.
When confronting someone, start with the positives. Tell them the things that they do well, and let them know you respect them. Follow this initial conversation with your confrontational piece. When you let the person know what it is that is impeding their job performance, be sure to allow them a chance to speak. Sometimes you may not understand why a person does things a certain way and there may be a solution that meets both parties' interests. Many times misunderstandings are resolved by obtaining more information. It is largely a learning process.
It is also important to deliver the information gently. Speaking with an accusatory tone or words will only put the receiver in a defensive mode. Asking the receiver's opinion is also a valuable tactic to handle confrontation. If they were you, what would they do? How would they handle a particular situation? Perhaps they will begin to see your point of view and understand where you are coming from.
Matching communication style is also helpful in a confrontation. If you speak to someone using "big" words or saying things that don't make sense to the receiver, they will not understand and will only become more argumentative.
Finally, once the two parties have come to a resolve, be sure to reiterate what the solution is so that both of you are in agreement and know what needs to be done to move forward.

Consumer stress has some credit card companies more willing to negotiate. Americans are losing jobs at a record pace, which is making it difficult for them to pay their credit cards on time, if at all. Enter the consumer advantage; banks and credit issuing companies are more willing to forgive some debt and even modify terms/interest in the cardholders favor. This is a change from years past where credit companies were unwilling to negotiate interest rates or find a happy medium with the cardholder.
The credit card companies are beginning to realize they stand to lose a significant amount of customers (and money) if they don't ease their strict standards. That being said, don't expect the companies to issue any statement advertising their new found flexibility. The companies fear that they will see an influx of customers lining up to settle their debts. Generally speaking, the most common negotiations include lowering interest rates or minimum monthly payments (for a period of time), waiving fees, or settling the debt for less than was owed.
In the same article, Nessa Feddis, vice president and senior counsel at the American Bankers Association, explained, "I think the credit card companies have learned from the mortgage problems the value to them and their customers of trying to work something out where it's appropriate and feasible."
Borrowers need only contact their credit card companies to determine their eligibility. Sometimes if the first line of contact is unable to negotiate, ask to speak to a supervisor. Be wary that forgiven debt can be taxable and can negatively impact a borrower's credit for up to seven years. Credit scores can also be impacted when an account is asked or forced to close. It is important to weigh all options prior to making any decision.

Manly Hospital Site Zoning confirmed
The future of the Manly Hospital site became clearer this week when Manly Council announced approval had now been given for the site to be zoned for health and environmental use following 2.5 years of negotiation with the Department of Planning.
This will ensure that the site can't be sold for residential, hotel or business-related activities once the hospital closes in 2018, following the opening of the new Northern Beaches Hospital in Frenchs Forest.
Suitable uses under the new zoning SP2 Health Services Facility include aged care, rehabilitation, mental health facility, and general medical services.
The land surrounding the built up site, has been zoned E2 Environmental Conservation. This is particularly important because it now means that the land below the cliff line at the rear of Collins Flat cannot be built on and is protected from any kind of development.
The staff at Manly Council are to be congratulated for achieving an excellent outcome for the community.
An advisory group reporting to Local Member and Premier, Mike Baird, is seeking input from locals on what they would like to happen to the site. You can complete their survey here.

How to Start Saving for Retirement on Any Budget
For a lot of us, retirement is a best-case scenario. Let's face it, you won't be able to work forever, and hopefully you'll keep living long after your last workday.
But what will that really look like? Can you afford that? If you're like most Americans, you suspect you're not saving enough for retirement.
No matter how much — or how little — you make, it's never too late to boost your savings. But you shouldn't put it off any longer.
Here are six steps you can take to make your retirement sweeter — no matter your budget:
1. Get All the Free Money You Can
If your employer offers a retirement plan like a 401(k), what are you waiting for? You definitely want to take full advantage of your employer's matching contribution to your 401(k) plan.
A 401(k) is a retirement account that's sponsored by your employer. It's tax-deferred. That means you invest part of your paycheck before you've paid taxes on it and then pay taxes when you withdraw money in retirement. What makes it especially attractive is that many employers will match your contributions — in whole or in part — up to a certain percentage of your earnings.
"Take advantage of your full company match," Jeff Dixson told us. He's a financial adviser in Vancouver, Washington, who hosts a radio show called the Retirement Coach. "If they match 3%, contribute 3%. If they match 6%, try to get to 6%. That's free money. There's nowhere else you're going to get free money."
2. Invest in Real Estate — You Only Need $500
In addition to your 401(k), letting your money work for you through investments is a great way to set yourself up for retirement. One of the most lucrative places to invest is in real estate — it's a strategy tons of wealthy people use. OK, so maybe you're not uber-wealthy, but that doesn't mean you can't prepare for retirement like the 1% does.
A company called DiversyFund will invest your money in commercial real estate — specifically, in apartment complexes that it owns — and you only need $500.
Real estate can potentially earn you more money than the stock market. Over the long term, investing in the stock market will earn you an average annual return of 7%, adjusted for inflation, according to a number of studies. Diversyfund can't guarantee how its investments will perform in the future — no one can — but historically, it has earned an annual return of 17% to 18%.
So you don't need a fortune to invest in real estate. All you need to get started is $500, and you can start investing for retirement like the wealthy do.
3. Start Small by Investing Your Digital Change
Maybe you're just getting started saving for retirement and you don't have a ton of money to invest. That's OK — you don't have to go big right away. Get in the habit of socking away a little money. Everything helps. In fact, that leftover change from your morning coffee and evening grocery hauls could turn into more than $1,000 before you know it.
That's what happened when Penny Hoarder reader Jeremy Kolodziej opened an investment account with Acorns. The app's round-up feature bumps each of your purchases up to the nearest dollar and puts the spare change into the stock market, which helped him mindlessly save $1,076 in about 20 months.
"It's a virtual coin jar," he says. "You don't even think about it."
Plus, Acorns invested the money for him, allowing him to grow his savings — without studying stock prices or managing trades. It's a great way to dip your toes in the investing world and start saving for retirement, even if you don't have a ton of money to work with.
The app is $1 a month for balances under $1 million, and you'll get a $5 bonus when you sign up.
Retirement is closer than you think, but saving for it doesn't have to be scary. Get great ideas delivered to your inbox in The Penny Hoarder Daily!
4. Launch Your Investing Portfolio with $5
Maybe you're ready to invest a little more proactively. There's a great way to do that without needing thousands of dollars. In fact, you can get started with just $5 with with an app called Stash.
Stash lets you choose from hundreds of stocks and funds to build your own investment portfolio, but they make it simple by breaking them down into categories based on your personal goals.
It takes just two minutes to download the app and sign up, and then it costs $1 per month for balances under $5,000.
And if you sign up now, you'll get a $5 sign-up bonus. Like any investing, the earlier you get started, the more you can earn.
5. Get the Most out of Your 401(k)
So we've established that you have a 401(k) — kudos for that, but is it doing what you need it to?
If you're like most people, you have no idea whether your 401(k) is on pace for your retirement or just sputtering along.
Chances are, your 401(k) could be doing a lot better. Take control with help from Blooom, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm that can optimize and monitor your 401(k) for you and keep it speeding toward retirement.
It just takes a few minutes to get a free 401(k) analysis that will show you whether your investments are allocated properly and whether you're losing money paying hidden investment fees. It'll even tell you just how much more money your account could earn by the time you want to retire.
After that, if you sign up, it's just $10 per month to have Blooom monitor and maximize your 401(k). Bonus: Penny Hoarders get a special rate of $99 per year with the code REEETIRE.
Think of Blooom like a mechanic constantly fine-tuning your car's engine so it gives you the best possible performance and gas mileage. Except it's your 401(k) — and your future.
6. Catch Up After 50
It's never too late to play a little catch-up.
If you're age 50 or over at the end of this calendar year, you can make annual catch-up contributions to your 401(k) account, bypassing the legal maximums.
In 2018, the federal government raised the personal 401(k) contribution max from $18,000 to $18,500 annually. People in their 50s and 60s can contribute an extra $6,000 per year — if they're able to.
The bottom line: It's never too late to start thinking about retirement, and it's never too early to start thinking about retirement — no matter what your budget looks like.

WorldNetDaily is for some strange reason one of the most popular right-wing sites and is frequently sited by Conservative pundits and their underlings. It has given space to a range of strange conspiracy theories and "discredited" ideas such as,
'9/11 was caused by the immorality of America, promoting the cause of radical Israeli settlers, KGB defector Alexo Litvinenko was a terrorist, Anglo-Saxon identity and White only immigration, Barack Obama is a secret Muslim and not really an American (the Birther hullabaloo), and on and on.

John Derbyshire: Fence off Islam
Posted in Loon-at-large with tags Islamophobia, Jihad Watch, John Derbyshire, Media Matters, NRO, racism, Religion of peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't, Robert Frost, Robert Spencer, The Mending Wall, The National Review, The New English Review, William F. Buckley on July 22, 2009 by loonwatch
John Derbyshire, is a contributor to the National Review and the New English Review and has also penned several books, one fiction and the other two dealing with mathematics and politics. From all appearances Derbyshire seems like an intelligent man but that's when you realize that individuals who appear intelligent on the surface can believe and say utterly stupid things.
Derbyshire has stated, "I am a homophobe, though a mild and tolerant one, and a racist, though an even more mild and tolerant one." He can add that he is an Islamophobe and a not so tolerant one to the list as well. In an NRO column he explains why he takes issue with the term Islamophobia which he discussed previously in a review of Robert Spencer's book Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is and Islam Isn't. Amongst other denunciations of Islam and Muslims, Derbyshire writes that he would answer "yes" to the following question,
Would it be wise of Western countries, in the present state of affairs, to "fence off" Islam — that is, to deny entry to foreign Muslims, to expel — regretfully, politely, and humanely, but firmly — resident foreign Muslims, and to restrict the activities of Muslim citizens (preventing them, for example, from proselytizing in our jails, or working in defense establishments)?
Derbyshire's mantra seems to be "If you build it, they won't come." By building this figurative wall and excluding Muslims he is sending a message that Muslims aren't equal and we have to keep the barbarian hordes out, that the unfortunate fact that we have Muslims in this country means that we have to restrict their activities.
One wonders why The National Review which was founded by William Buckley to serve as a conduit for Conservative thought and dispel myths about Conservatism would traffic in such banalities? It is no surprise that someone such as Derbyshire, a self-admitted racist, would also be an Islamophobe but it is quite another thing for a publication which proclaims to be respectable and "the most widely read in America" to give him a platform.
In the end Derbyshire would do well to read Robert Frost's poem the Mending Wall where he wrote, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall," meaning there is something in our nature that is adverse to: barriers, fences, walls, artificial obstacles that are created to divide and isolate.

Solution was (Package Manager Console):
Uninstall-Package EntityFramework -Force
Install-Package EntityFramework -Version 6.1.2
Enable-Migrations

A: Uninstall EntityFramework from your project then restart your project and reinstall EntityFramework

A: For me this was fixed by upgrading all EF projects in the solution to the same EF version. I do not agree that MS products suck. I love the VS Ide environment. Nothing compares to it.

A: I was using EF version 6.4.4. Changing to 6.2.0 solved the problem.

A: I solved this problem by downgrading Entity Framework 6.1.3 to Entity Framework 6.1.2.Probably it is bug of last version.

A: You can get this error if you don't have the right "Default project" selected in the Package Manager Console.  Switch this to your main application project and it will work.
Alternatively you can use the -ProjectName option like this:
Add-Migration -Name "Some changes" -ProjectName MyWebProject

A: I was getting a similar error and solved by extracting all of the tools folder in the EntityFramework.6.1.3.nupkg.  You can find this package in this folder:
[your solution directory]\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3)

A: Based on the answer of @maksym-trubaiev i realized that you can simply delete the old EF Folder, then there won't be any mixups anymore
$ rm -r packages/EntityFramework.6.1.3/

(where in my case, 6.1.3 is the old version, as i upgrade to 6.4.4)

A: In my case change Dll from EF 6.4.4 to EF 6.0.0 fix it

A: For me, this happened when I created a .NetStand (2.1) project that referenced a NuGet package that has an EF (6.1) dependency.

A: Uninstall-Package EntityFramework -Force
Install-Package EntityFramework -Version 6.1.2

Hampton Inn planned for Paris, Ill.
City incentives, local business support credited for development
By Dave Taylor Tribune-Star
A town of 8,300 without an interstate highway may seem an unlikely spot for a Hampton Inn, but a developer says businesses — and city officials — in Paris, Illinois, have sold him on the need for such upscale lodging.
Steve Horve of Decatur-based Horve Builders plans to invest $7.5 million in a four-story, 72-room hotel to be built on Illinois 1 at the south edge of Paris. The City Council on Monday approved a package of incentives worth up to $920,000.
The 2.1-acre site is across the highway from the corporate headquarters of North American Lighting, an expanding business with 1,600 employees, was cited as one reason for the new hotel.
"They've got people coming in all the time and they put them up in Terre Haute … a 40-minute drive," Horve said Tuesday. "If they had a hotel there, they'd put them up there."
Horizon Health hospital, Dimond Brothers Insurance, Bloomfield Barn, a wedding and event venue in nearby Chrisman, and summer youth baseball leagues also pitched Horve on the need for a hotel.
"I'm awfully excited about it," said Jill Mattingly, co-owner of Bloomfield Barn. "This exceeds my wildest expectations. I've been seeing our guests go to Douglas County and Vermilion County and now we have an Edgar County solution and we're thrilled about that."
Horve said pledges from businesses to use his new hotel "all make it work but without that incentive package I wouldn't have done the deal," Horve said.
A development incentive agreement the council approved will use funds from the Jasper Street Tax Increment Financing Fund. The city plans to reimburse Horve Builders for costs of land acquisition, architectural and engineering services, water and sewer lines and four years' of interest expenses. Its location in the city's enterprise zone makes the development also eligible for an estimated $200,000 in sales tax breaks on construction materials.
"We've all got skin in the game," said Mayor Craig Smith. "We couldn't be happier. This is so much better than what we thought we were going to end up with … We were looking at entry line hotels."
City leaders and representatives of Paris Economic Development Corp. have been working for years to attract a hotel developer. The agreement with Horve came together in just the past few months, Smith said.
The Horve family has built more than 60 hotels for other operators and developed more than 20 of its own, Horve said. He credited the involvement of First Mid Bank and Trust, which has financed other hotels with him and recently acquired a branch in Paris, for helping the new Hampton Inn project come together.
Plans call for construction to begin as early as late May with completion in 10 to 12 months, he said.
While there are two budget motels across town, Paris does not now have a hotel.
Tiger Senior Apartments update
Concerning another project, Smith said Tuesday the Illinois Housing Development Authority last week approved final tax credits for an affordable housing project at the former Paris High School.
Tiger Senior Apartments, announced in October 2017, plans for 42 units with studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom options for residents 55 and older.
Developers have also applied for state historic tax credits to assist with redevelopment of the 1909 downtown building.
"We're looking at some time between now and September for closing and a start date for the apartments," Smith said.
