· The US Bond market bubble will pop.
Bond Market Bubble: The US Bond market bubble popping will be the real t rigger for a sovereign US debt crisis. You see, when international investors demand 8% instead of 4% for bonds because of their risk, the US will not be able to pay the interest on its debts. Printing money won't help anymore because the international investment community will have lost its interest in the dollar as the reserve currency. As the dollar value declines, US interest rates skyrocket and inflation takes off well above 10% per annum, the Fed will be scared to raise rates quickly and high because so many people would be bankrupted. But of course, this will be the wrong thing to do again, and inflation will then accelerate further. As more money is printed, wage inflation will need to kick-in, oil prices will rise further and a vicious period of stagflation in the USA and UK start in earnest. Then silver and gold prices will skyrocket as everyone starts to panic.
Implosion of Western Debt: This process will take some years – anything from one to five years. But it will happen. You don't have to believe us of course. But let's just say we are feeling self assured that our very early retirement and full financial freedom will be achieved in the next few years as the whole global economy implodes. We regret government are printing so much money, it's totally the wrong thing to do. But they will do it. And we are not going to sit there and watch this happen, only for governments to destroy our pension pots, savings and tax us to death.
We have a very focussed strategy – and are now convinced everything is in place for a massive silver and gold bull run.
Silver Shortages: Some very smart metals investors actually believe silver prices should be higher than gold – we don't quite agree with this ourselves, but there is an logic to their arguments. The bottom line is, we see very little risk of silver dropping below say $20/ounce and a massive – a gigantic – upside to $50, $100, or even $1000/ounce in the next 1-5 years. We just would not be surprised if the price skyrocketed to $300/ounce – a tenfold increase. If this happens – even half was to $150/ounce, we will be early retired. It's very exciting.
Possible Silver Market Manipulation: The have also been stories swirling around that governments (and possibly some large private investors) have tried to keep silver prices suppressed to reduce the metals attraction and/or so these entities can capture as much cheap silver as possible – before it becomes very obvious that there is far less silver supply available than originally thought. We have not researched this in any detail – but our intuition suggests some form of manipulation has taken place over time – and it's more to the "keeping prices low" than the "driving prices higher". Hence this increases the upside and reduces the downside.
More Printing = High Silver: So every time the governments are stupid and print more money – almost a 100% certainty – then we will be fully hedged and making serious returns as silver and gold prices sour. Lets face it, the dollar is a currency, not money. Its paper backed by nothing but a promise from a politician.
Stocks Better Than Bonds, Silver/Gold/Oil Better than Stock s: Another key insight is that stocks are actually safer than bonds and treasuries. Why? Because sovereign debt default will happen – almost for certain. Then you will be given a haircut of at least 50%, possible 90% or 100%. That's a very poor return. If you hold a stock in a company, a good solid company like Shell, it may drop by 20%, but you'll get a 4% dividend, they won't default and Shell has been going for 110 years – without default. But take the German government. They defaulted and had hyperinflation in 1931, had a war in 1918, another war in 1945 – three haircuts. Meanwhile if you own part of a company, the government cannot confiscate this unless you live in a place like Venezuela.
Gold and Silver Is Real Saving and Real Investment: Meanwhile although gold does not pay a dividend, has not return and costs money to store, it should increase in value at the same pace or possibly higher than the money supply. So your savings will not be destroyed by inflation. Remember gold is a saving – and it is real money – not a fiat printed piece of paper that can default. That's why all sensible governments hold large gold reserves. It's a real asset, not a fiat currency that can be abused by politicians and central bankers who are working in cohorts to try short-term fixes to long term debt problems.
Don't Be The Last At The Party: Instead of being the last people to inv est in gold and silver, you need to be one of the first – or relatively early. We don't think it's too late. Gold and silver prices will gyrate dramatically – and will likely end one day in a parabolic final bull market blow-up, at which time you will need to get out before the top of course. But we have not seen any parabolic moves and think this is more likely to be at some point between end 2012 and 2019 – at the very least a year away. If gold and silver dips, you should buy on a dip. If it goes up rapidly, sell a bit on a high, then buy on the dips again. But get out when you see a parabolic rise and you find out your neighbour and every man and his dog is being gold and silver.
Safe Haven Long Term: When people are saying "this time it's different" and "this bull market will keep rising because the whole lots melted down" then it's time to get out. But we are far off this point at present. We haven't even had our first sovereign debt default. And inflation is only 4-8%. God it's early. And we don't thing $30/ounce will ever be seen again for silver!
Gold To $3800 or More: According to our conservative research, gold should rise to range $3800/ounce at the end of this commodities bull run, most likely around 2018. This is when the ratio of Dow Jones to Gold drops about three fold from its current level of 7 to around 3. This would therefore imply the Dow would be at 11000 by 2018 – a further drop of say 50% in inflation adjusted terms by then. It's quite possible gold could go a lot higher if there is very high inflation and bankruptcy in the USA, but conservatively it should double from hereon with a mid case of an almost tripling from its current $1600 ounce level over a 7 year period to the end of the secular commodities bull run in 2018. Let's face it, if inflation starts in earnest like we expect it to in 2012, this will depress the Dow, inflation commodities prices and with it drive gold far higher as a safe haven against the declining dollar value. As the USA dollar loses it's reserve currency status as gigantic quantities of fiat money is printed, gold will go higher. It's quite simple. Only austerity, the stopping of printed money, severe US deficit reduction and return to normal capitalist growth trends all together could de-rail the gold bull run. We think this chance of this happening is almost zero percent.
Crisis: When a crisis comes, gold and silver are always the places that weal thy people run to, to protect their wealth. This has been the same for centuries. It has not changed. The crisis has only just begun, the first stage was the financial crash in mid 2008. This collapse of the western economies has probably got another 7 years left according to our analysis. This will be the end of the stock market bear run, end of the commodities bull run and end of inflationary period some time around 2018, as described in our previous special reports.
A House For 500 ounces of Silver Costing $12000: In the USA, it took 1980 1000 ounces of silver to buy a house. Its likely at the end of this silver bull run, because silver is also in short supply, it might take even less silver to buy a US property in 2018. This would imply silver sky-rocketting from $30/ounce to $150/ounce, a five fold increase in 7 years. Yes, we are serious. Silver is so cheap today in inflation adjusted terms, it's an absolute bargain. We see a downside to $15/ounce and an upside to well over $500/ounce if the US dollar crashes and inflation takes off to over 15% per annum.
Dollar Collapse: The inflation adjusted value of the dollar has decline 95% sinc e the year 1900. It is now worth a paltry 5 cents. Meanwhile, it's no surprise that gold value in dollar terms rose 900% in that time. Cash looses value at a rate of 5-10% a year, and this is likely to worsen in the next 7 years. As inflation takes off, gold will rise sharply as will silver and oil.
Money Supply Explosion: The monetary base in the USA expanded from $0.85 Trillion to $3 Trillion from 2007 to mid 2011. That's a fourfold increase in three years, compared with its base that took hundreds of years to build up as the economy expanded.
Fed Is Private Entity and Has No Reserves: The US Fed does not have reserves. It is not a bank. It's a private organisation. It does not even need to print money. It just creates money out of thin air – by adding zeros. The Fed has stock holders – that are paid a dividend. They are a private organisation. They make promises. They claim to pay people back. But one day they will go bankrupt. The only way they are not bankrupt at this time is because they have free reign to print money. But this cannot continue forever. The only money being loaned out now is not from savers. The US banks have $41 Billion of reserves. But they lend of Trillions. What the Fed does is print some money, stick it into their deposit, then they can lend out 90% of this, then this is then lend onwards, maybe ten times – so there might eventually by $10 circulation for every $1 printed. The Fed continues to dilute everyone else's dollars.
Every year the US deficit increases. The gigantic 2011 mortgage re-sets were bailed out this year by the Fed simple printing money. The borrowing is rising so sharply that the only way to continue is to hyper-inflate. And that is probably the key reason we are shifting rapidly into gold and silver. It's like being in 1973 – and this commodities bull run will end in 1980 – or 2018 in today's timescale. It's inflation all the way.
Property Investing And Inflation: The good news for property investors in the USA at the moment is US government has started buy mortgage debt through the back door. They has QE1 and QE2. Then everyone seemed to be hoping f or another fix with QE3. They got disappointed after the Jackson Hole speech – nothing. Then came "Operation Twist" – a back door silence QE3 – buying bad mortgage debt to prop up the real estate market and reduce the mortgage rates. Sure enough, they have dropped from 5% to 4%, a historic low and we believe US real estate prices could start shifting higher in the next few months as more cheap mortgages are available. Of course the Fed is directly intervening to create another little real estate bubble just before the next end 2012 election to try and get Obama back into power – it's the only way Helicopter Ben will keep his job of course. So if you jump onto this bandwagon, make sure you get off before the election, because after the election, when the Republicans get in, we are pretty sure real estate prices will go into depression again. By that time, there may be such high general inflation at 15%, real estate prices might actually be rising by 10%, but not enough to keep pace with inflation. We have almost zero confidence in the current US administrations ability to control the debt problem, deficit and inflation. The USA deficit is running at $1 Trillion a year – then Tim what's his name had the cheek to visit Europe last month and express his deep concern about the European debt situation and the Europeans handling of it. Well, he probably has a point of course but coming from the US Fed is enough to make anyone either laugh or cry. Its just a question of a toss of as coin whether the US or Europe will be the first to default.
The dollar and all currencies that were converted into dollars – were up until 1971 pegged to the price of gold. In 1971, Nixon took the USA off the gold standard. Which meant the Fed could then print as much money as it deemed appropriate. The money supply has risen so sharply that inflation is certain now – and with it – gold prices should rise sharply.
Gold Standard: If the USA wanted to get back onto the gold standard, gold would need to be worth $15000/ounce. This is the implies price to cover all the printed money. It's still conceivable that gold will rise to these levels – because every time hyper-inflation has started, gold normally catches up with the currency value as people need gold to make purchases and buy food. The silver and gold prices going up will be when people finally wake up to the fact that the dollar is a an almost worthless inflating currency which has fallen into disrepute.
Transfer of Wealth From Middle Class Dollar Owner To Silver-Gold Investors: There will be a huge transfer of wealth. At no other time in history have all currencies been fiat currencies, meanwhile gold is freely available to be purchased by a private individual. This is an amazing opportun ity to secure your future by buying as much silver as possible.
Silver supply has dropped: How many months supply are available? In the 1960s and 1970s, there was about 10-20 years of supply above ground. In 2006 this went down to a meagre 3 month.
Silver is rarer than gold: There is more gold available to buy now than silver at this time. The total amount of gold in the world would fit into a 20m x 20m cube. But the entire amount of silver would fit into a 12m x 12m cube. Far less.
Silver is consumed: It is the most reflective, most electrically conductive and most thermally conductive element on earth. It is needed in electronic manufacturing. In most cases there is no replacement. It is a single element. It cannot be re-constituted. Years ago in 1975, there were probably 200 million people that were able to buy silver. Now about 5 billion people have access to silver investment.
Internet Accessibility: The internet, smart phones and banking connectivity means most people can now buy silver and gold using a smart phone in an instant. It also needs very little financial education to buy silver and gold. One day – we believe the Chinese, Indians and every man and his dog will be piling into silver and gold – in the final blow-off period some years away. Obviously one should get out when the hyperbolic blow-off commences – but we think this is years away. But when it happens, it could be very quickly and the last people in will get slaughtered of course.
Quiet Life: Gold and silver is also an excellent investment if you want a quiet life. No tenants. No currency issues. You don't even need to keep accounts. You just need to make sure yo u know how many coins you have. Or ounces you own. It's a real asset class. No mirage or fiat. You can even drop by your safe deposit box and check on it. And pull it out if you need to. Or store in a safe vault with a secure company. Don't buy any ETFs though – they are run by governments and banks and you might find one day that gold was some form of legal mirage. It never existed – and was just another promise of gold.
Yes – Another Bubble: Stocks has a bubble in 2000. Real Estate had a bubble in 2006. There was a few oil bubbles and might be more. The Bond bubble is now. And the final bubble will be gold and silver – it will skyrocket, then crash. It's time to get into this bubble early.
Shift to Silver and Gold: Also, don't listen to those clowns that say you should only put in 10% of your investments in gold and silver. No – that's rubbish. One needs to seize this opportunity and shift into a focussed strategy if one can identify a good investment opportunity. Silver and gold in our view is even better than oil and property at this time – so we have starting a gigantic shift into silver and gold and plan to continue to aggressively accumulate for the next few years.
Silver Ratios Look Compelling: There are some smart investors that think, because of silvers rarity, it should be trading at a ratio of 1:10 against gold. So if gold is $1600/ounce then silver should be $160/ounce (not $30/ounce). But if and/or when gold caught up with the fiat dollar, as seems logical eventually, gold would be $15,000/ounce. And if silver was at a ratio of 1:10, then silver price should be $1,500 ounce. That would be a 50 times increase from current levels. That means if you put £100,000 into silver today, by 2018 it could be worth £5 million. Yes, this is the logical size of the upside in silver. That's why we're are piling into silver. Silver at $30/ounce is a screaming bargain. It was $50/ounce in 1980, 31 years ago. After 31 years of inflation, it is still only 60% of the value of its 1980's peak despite the dollar money supply rising about 20 fold.
Money Supply: Another example is in Australia. Since 1960, the amount of Australian dollars has risen 180 times. That's gigantic. Meanwhile silver prices have hardly moved. Surely silver prices should be at least 10, possibly up to 100 times current levels.
Investor Numbers and Liquidity: Compared with the last gold peak in 1980, we now have ten times more people, with ten times more investors and ten times more currency. When this gigantic investing populating finally wake up to the fact that money is getting worthless, they will pile into silver and gold – then the price will sky-rocket into a final blow-off phase – most likely sometime between 2015 and 2020. It's a very exciting prospect for all precious metal investors. The fundamentals are so compelling – its difficult to see any downside risk and the upside is just gigantic. We have already de-risked our early retirement!
Tax: One of the only downsides is having to pay VAT in the initial purchase in the UK - of 20%. That said, we think the upside is so huge globally, that the 20% tax is worth this risk - even though we cannot understand how a government can put VAT on a coin (silver coins should be treated like gold coins).
Reckless Money Printing = High Gold Price: The more reckless the governments get with printing money, the higher silver and gold prices will rise. The more stupid they get borrowing money and proceeding with social policies – the more gold and silver prices will catch up with the fiat printed money. Eventually there will be a gigantic rapid transfer of wealth as people dump the fiat money and pile into the only thing in history that has ever kept its value – silver and gold. They have never gone to nothing – unlike currencies (remember in Weimer Germany in 1931, people used the German Mark for fuel because it was so worthless).
1 Do you think inflation will fall in the next few years?
2 Do you think governments will stop printing money in the next few years?
3 Are you confident that the Euro and US debt issues will go away?
4 Do you think savings rates will rise above inflation again?
5 Do you trust politicians with your savings?
6 Do you think taxes will fall shortly?
7 Do you see a nice bull run in the stock market?
8 Do you see oil prices falling a lot?
9 Do you think it is safe to put spare cash into a banks?
10 Do you think nervous markets will quieten down?
11 Do you think a financial collapse would be ring-fenced into a few small locations?
If you answer no to all these questions, then you clearly need to get into gold and silver investment rapidly. The reason being you think inflation will rise, believe politicians will continue to print money and your savings will be eroded – the only safe investment is gold and silver. As money printing accelerates, so will the price of gold and silver.
Silver, Gold and Inflation All The Way: Anyway, after six years of research, we have convinced ourselves that silver and gold investment is the way forward – along with oil, farmland and selective property investment. Its time to get heavily into silver and gold – for the next five years. And we look forward to an early retirement in 2018.

All the dolls were scared. They sat rather quietly and kept staring at me expecting me to come up with a way to save them. Nellie was the exception. She wasn't scared. She kept saying this looked like the beginning of a horror movie…and we were probably going to run out of gas…or hit an animal…or drive off a cliff by accident…..Samantha told her if she couldn't think of anything positive or happy to say…… BE QUIET!
I finally managed to turn around and head back out of there…then I got a better signal, and I was able to use the GPS on my cell phone. After another 20 minutes, we got to the camp site, Cheaha State Park in Alabama. Whew!! As the driver and only full-sized person in the car, I was rather stressed. The next morning….
"Emily is still sleeping." whispered Samantha.
"What if we make breakfast ourselves. That way we won't wake her up?" Ruthie asked softly.
The others thought this was an excellent idea, so they all got busy.
"Ruthie, can you find the eggs?" Samantha called over her shoulder.
"I see them, but there is something sitting on top of them so I can't reach it. Give me a second." Ruthie's muffled voice replied from inside the cooking supply box.
"Do you see a skillet? I just see pots out here." Samantha continued as she made a mental list of the things needed for cooking breakfast.
"The skillet is right here next to me and here are the eggs!" Ruthie said triumphantly as she emerged with the egg carton.
Soon they were sitting down to a lovely camp breakfast.
"The sausage looks lovely! I'm sorry everyone. I'm not sure there will be enough for everyone." Ruthie announced with a grin.
"How about some extra flavorful bacon instead?" asked Lea.
"Are you sure you don't mean burned?" teased Nellie as she was serving the juice.
Samantha inspected the bacon and said, "No, it was definitely just flavorful".
They passed out the jam for the toast, then they were ready to eat.
Eeek!! The bees were ready too!
Ruthie had to keep shooing the bees away from her plate. She said that was just a "benefit" of camping. In spite of the chilly weather and the bees, they enjoyed breakfast.
After breakfast, like any good campers, they cleaned up. Nellie and Samantha worked together to clean up the tablecloth from any stickiness that may have gotten on it.
Lea gathered up the cups and dishes.
They had been outside for some time now and were getting quite cold. Ruthie commandeered a nearby warm coffee cup to hold like a personal heater. She offered to share with Samantha. Samantha, however, said she was fine with her warm cozy sweater.
Lea wanted more warmth than that. She headed for the camper and the heater.
"What is the password?" asked Nellie blocking Lea from going in the camper.
"The password is let me in before my nose freezes off!" replied Lea.
"Right! How did you guess?" grinned Nellie stepping aside.
Soon after that I got up, and ate breakfast while the dolls played on the rocks nearby.
After I ate, we all went hiking. The dolls were very excited about this trail. They said more parks should have trails like this since this trail was so doll friendly.
"Whoohoo!!! Fall leaves!!!!" yelled Ruthie, as she dived into a pile of leaves throwing them in the air.
They played in the leaves for a bit then took off walking down the trail. It was a nice easy trail but it was looong (for little doll legs 😉 ). Samantha was getting tired.
"Can you guys carry me out if I collapse?" she asked, teasing them by being over dramatic as she leaned hard against the railing.
They kept going until they got to the end of the trail and the overlook.
Samantha noticed the older gentleman sitting on the bench next to them was wearing a veteran's hat. She thanked him for his service.
At first he seemed a little scary, but then they had a nice chat.
After that, they climbed down on the rocks to get a different view. Ruthie and Nellie scared Samantha and Lea by pretending Ruthie got squished between two rocks.
They wanted a picture with the sign to show the dolls at home…guess who wouldn't sit in front of the sign like any normal doll but had to make it more "exciting"?
We tried to get a group picture with the view behind them….but Lea didn't hear and was turned the wrong way.
Later that day we went to another place in the park. This is Alabama's highest point.
After a long day hiking we watching the sun set….
It was VERY cold and windy, and I had a terrible sneezing cold. Out of concern for my comfort, the dolls voted to leave a little earlier so we could get back to the camper and warmth.
Camping is as comfortable as a hotel room, but you see so much more.. Hiking tralls , animals, etc. I enjoy it unless I'm too hot or too cold or too rainy. Actually most of my camping has been without those problems. Fall and Spring are my favorites = fewer crowds.
I am an indoor camper…a regular Princess and the pea type of girl. However I did enjoy camping with my family years ago in a camp ground in Gulf Shores AL. It was on the beach…..

Hair Down – Mollie King – Review
It was a real tragedy when Girls Aloud split, wasn't it? The best girl band since the Spice Girls, their inventive, off-kilter style of pop was an absolute delight, earning the band a record breaking run of top 10 hits. The wind in Girls Aloud's sails was undoubtedly Xenomania, the songwriting machine that manufactured hit after hit, each one innovative and unique. But since the group disbanded, Xenomania haven't quite found the right act in which to channel their genius.
Enter Mollie King. Former member of middling girl band The Saturdays (very much the Tesco Value to Girls Aloud's Tesco's Finest), she's no stranger to Xenomania, having worked with the songwriting/production team during her girl group days. Knowing which side her bread is buttered, she's teamed up with the hit-makers again, this time on her own for solo single 'Hair Down'.
What a Girls Aloud song this would be. You can picture the choreography, the girls in unison, hands on hips, heads bobbing. There are echoes of 'Sexy! No No No' to be heard here, though the track's focal point is certainly the blaring brass that gives the song an impossible-not-to-love bounce. If Girls Aloud were still around, this is the kind of single they'd be releasing.
But enough about Girls Aloud (only joking, you can never have too much GA). King is a fitting collaborator for Xenomania, her voice malleable and easily engineered. But though her name is on the record, this is a Xenomania affair through and through. The swaggering 'na-na-na' hook, the no-room-for-nuance brassy arrangement, the clumsy lyrics (imagine Kimberley singing "Pleased to meet your barber shop quartet, but that means you obviously aren't getting any sex"!!). It's Xenomania's genius condensed into a gaudy and incredibly fun blast of no-nonsense pop, their best since the heady days when GA were ruling the roost.
King has done a cracking job on her latest single, snagging the best pop pioneers in the business and concocting a fantastically camp, flashy and addictive track. Only time will tell whether the notoriously bland tastes of the music buying public will allow such a colourful track to become a hit – but then, these are the people who sent Ed Sheeran to number one for a hundred years. So who really cares what they think, right?

Q: Python/PHP SQLite querying Polish letter Ł/ł in FTS4/FTS5 Since SQLite FTS4/FTS5 tokenizer=unicode61 gives us:
a=A=ą=Ą=ä=Ä ...
z=ż=ź=Z=Ż=Ź=Ž=ž ...
etc...

Why not l=ł=L=Ł ??? Isn't it a bug?
How to query SQLite on keybord not having Polish chars ł/Ł? For example querying for name Żabczyński like "zabczynski" - got result, but for name Włast like "wlast" - 0 result (should be like hundreds...)
I have my walkaround in PHP, but it does not working with words with l and ł in it, like 'opłacalny'.
<?
$q = $_POST["q"];
//
$pat = '/(\b\w*[lł]\w*\b)/iu';
    $q = preg_replace_callback($pat,function($macz){
        return "(" . str_replace("ł","l",$macz[1]) . "* OR " . str_replace("l","ł",$macz[1]) . "*)";
    },$q);
// so query 'andrzej wlast' looks 'andrzej (wlast* OR włast*)'
...
    $sql = "SELECT ...";
    $pdo = $db->prepare($sql);
    //
    $pdo->execute([":q" => "$q*"]);
    //
    $odp = $pdo->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
?>

Any idea? You can't set encoding in sqlite like utf8_general_ci, utf8_polish_ci, utf8_unicode_ci... Or yes, it's possible?
Is there a way to solve it in Python? No ICU on platform (shared server).

A: Unfortunately, no, SQLite doesn't have the collating tables like MySQL, because it would bloat what is supposed to be a very small and portable library.
You can transform your queries into something like this:
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE word REGEXP '^[ZŻ]abczy[nń]ski$';
SELECT * FROM foo WHERE word REGEXP '^W[lł]ast$';

It is quite easy in Python:
def collatify(string, equivalents):
    for original, replacement in equivalents.items():
        string = string.replace(original, '[%s%s]' % (original, replacement))
    return string

collatify('Żabczyński', { "Ż": "Z", "ń": "n" })

Again unfortunately, this will make it impossible to use indices for search on these fields.
A better approach is to do the opposite operation, "asciify" your strings, and enter them into the database as an additional column (with its own index!); then "asciify" your query, and watch it work. Even better, see if your "asciified" query is the same as the original; if it is, use the "asciified" column (as the user entered ASCII characters only); if they differ, then the user entered Polish-specific characters, and would presumably enter them all correctly, so use the original column. This way, if the user enters "Żabczyński", you search for "Żabczyński" in the original column and find it there. If the user enters "Zabczynski", assume it might be asciified, and search in the asciified column; it would find "Żabczyński", "Zabczyński", "Żabczynski" and "Zabczynski" if they were there. If the user enters "Zabczyński" or "Żabczynski", presumably they should know Polish, so search in the original column and return no results. All this win comes at the expense of only storing one more copy of your column.

A: Move to MySQL or Postgres. SQLite has its limits.

I sit and write this from my hotel lobby in Singapore, fresh from a BBQ with my wonderful family, suitably hydrated thanks to a few chilled glasses of Cloudy Bay and looking footloose and fancy free in my favourite LBD.
It's hard to imagine already that just 24 hours ago, I was in the midst of running the Sundowner 100km Ultramarathon, a tough race on unforgiving tarmac, undulating for 50km or so, through the night and in the harsh summer humidity here. Unlike it's namesake, the cocktail to sip at sunset, the idea is to begin running at 6pm and try to complete the distance by sunrise.
From an event point of view, you can read all the facts and figures on the website ….and from an organisational point of view, I have to say, it was second to none.
But from a Tori point of view? You'd have to visit www.fitchicksandfastwomen.com for that!
Over a 12+ hour race, so much goes through your mind and I won't bore you with the minutiae detail. Some things stick though … some things leak over into your every day life … and some things act as a realisation of the things you rate as great.
My top three from this event?
Prior to the race starting, I spent an hour or so playing and laughing in the sunshine with my family, drinking champagne and chatting over each other (somethings will never change!!). Everyone wished me so much luck and love and this would have been the case whether I was running 5k or 100k.
The point? It's so easy sometimes to get wound up by the dramas of family lives, the politics and the differences … but forget them … forget them all. Family is family and I would die for every single member in mine. It's times like this, when we reach out to new challenges, that we realise their importance and their unconditional support that can't ever be replaced or duplicated.
At 85k, I was tired and sore. The humidity and slight rain had all but washed off the thick layer of Vaseline placed to protect my body from chaffing. My bra lines and underarms are still bleeding as I tap. But what kept me going, (other than deciding in perfect detail what to have for breakfast and dreaming over the cool cotton bed sheets that awaited me) was the thought that my mum might be there at the end … and as it so happens, she had no idea when I might finish and wasn't there at the end but this didn't matter when I actually got to the finish line because I knew she was rooting for me from start to finish (amongst so many others) and she pulled me through my darkest hours.
The point? Whatever our age, whatever our stage, mums are mums and no one can ever replace that feeling of being utterly cared for. Age five, I would run home to have her clean up my battered knees, post scrapes, falls and urban adventure. Thirty years later, I ran 'home' with her fixed firmly in my mind for exactly the same reason.
And as I was running, I listed on audio to 'The Gospel according to Coco Chanel.' Coco was a fascinating woman albeit complex and difficult. She had a take on style that every women has drawn lessons from and for that alone, she is a legend.
She was strong-headed, elegant, opinionated and passionate …. she had amazing individuality, confidence and determination and most importantly, she knew how to stay true to herself and how to problem-solve in any given situation.
And really, all these characteristics are needed, in varying degrees to get through an ultra marathon … so this post, I title for you Coco …. and for this same reason, I put on your iconic creation, the LBD tonight!
Great performance! Stellar performance! Your posting is about the thoughts but you do not mention your 2nd position in the female open. I think your readers are entitled to know that too!
thanks my lovely! hope you had a great time in madagascar and yes – look forward to catch up.


Yesterday we rented a Mini from Zipcar and went on a day trip across the water to Sequim. Zipcar names all their vehicles, and it just so happens we rode The Mothership, which added a bit more kick to the adventure.
I love vacations in bite sized chunks or in extended stay stretches, like day trips and long weekends, or 3-4 week stints. Anything in the middle feels like a cruel joke, because just as I begin to unwind it's time to pack up and leave.
The only thing that makes me feel even remotely connected to the idea of homeschooling is the ability to travel whenever we want for as long as we want. Like the time we went to California for three weeks and was later scolded by the school district for not asking permission.
We decided to explore the Dungeness Spit, which is a peninsula of land created by sediment from the nearby eroding bluffs. There are trails to walk above the beach on the bluff, a view point of the entire spit, and beach access ($3 cash for your entire group).
You can also hike out to the lighthouse, which is eleven miles round trip and takes about 4-6 hours. But since some members of my family experienced the gorgeous ocean views like the Griswolds at the Grand Canyon, we did not bother with the hike.
…which is all I really wanted anyway.

"I'd put it in line with one of my best years in F1"
Driver performance analysis: Daniil Kvyat
28th January 2020, 12:12 28th January 2020, 13:21 | Written by Keith Collantine
Is there any path for Daniil Kvyat which leads back to the Red Bull seat he lost almost four years ago?
Last year was a clear opportunity. At mid-season Red Bull again dispensed with one of its drivers – this time Pierre Gasly, but Kvyat was passed over for the drive in favour of his team mate Alexander Albon.
This was notwithstanding the fact Kvyat had recently scored third place for Toro Rosso in the German Grand Prix, which was only the team's second podium finish in its history.
The way he tells it, Kvyat isn't too bothered about being overlooked by Red Bull. Asked in Singapore whether he was disappointed to have missed out on a possible promotion he said "not really."
"I do my work," Kvyat continued. "Whatever work they give me, I do. They give me work at Toro Rosso I will do my job at Toro Rosso as good as possible. They give me a job somewhere else I'll try to do my job as good as possible somewhere else."
But he did take satisfaction from his 2019 campaign, which he described as one of his best to date.
Qualifying: Lap time
The lower the lines, the better the driver performed
Kvyat's qualifying performances fluctuated rather too much for someone whose first team mate was a total newcomer to F1, who was then replaced at mid-season by someone who hadn't driven the Toro Rosso all year. He also found it hard to pull his best sector times together on his flying lap – something he only managed twice all year.
Race: Start versus finish
Kvyat scored an unexpected third place in Germany
Although Kvyat mustered 10 points finishes over the course of the year, most of these came in the lower reaches of the points. The conspicuous exception was Hockenheim.
There Kvyat spent much of the rain-hit race running behind team mate Albon. However when the track finally began to dry in the latter stages he spied his opportunity and switched to slicks, jumping ahead of those who were more conservatively-minded. He then took second off Lance Stroll, another driver who'd made the same gamble, but couldn't stop Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari taking it from him. He nearly got the place back on the final lap, however.
There were a handful of missed opportunities which were out of his control. Notably at Monza, where a fine effort went unrewarded when he suffered a power unit problem, and his home race at Sochi, which was ruined by more Honda trouble.
"I think the team has always performed very well," Kvyat reflected. "Since the beginning of the year it was quite consistently in the points and always taking the opportunities quite well. With strategy, taking the points which weren't even there, to still get them was very crucial sometimes."
Kvyat's departure from Red Bull followed a few unfortunate high-profile incidents. He caused a few too many collisions last season as well, leading to a series of penalties in China, Mexico and the USA, which he invariably disagreed with. Two of those cost him further points finishes.
Race: Share of points
Race: Results versus other drivers
Tenth place to Gasly's second in Brazil was a disappointment
Taken as a whole, Kvyat was out-scored over the course of 2019 by the two different drivers who occupied the second Toro Rosso. He finds himself in a kind of awkward middle ground: a Red Bull promotion passed him by, but he has become the longest-serving driver of their "kindergarten" squad.
This can partly be put down to hope on Red Bull's part that Albon might turn out to be another Max Verstappen, partly down to there being no F1-grade youngsters in the Junior Team ready to take Kvyat's place, and partly down to Kvyat continuing to show just enough potential to keep them interested.
"I feel very satisfied, to be honest," he said during a press conference late last year. "I would put it in line with one of my best years in F1 so I'm pretty happy."
Late in the season another opportunity to break free of the midfield and score a big result passed him by. But about this, too, Kvyat was quite phlegmatic.
"Some races go your way, some races don't go your way, but this is how our midfield works. It's very tight and some small mistake can cost you some opportunities like myself in Brazil for example. I definitely lost a very big opportunity there which luckily Pierre, for the team, managed to take.
"But these are the parts of our sport that we all know. I think this year I have been a lot more better driver than my last years in F1."

It is sad, when people don't see (or refuse to see) their true level of performance.
Mario Karts (which is now officially re-branded from Formula E) is waiting for him with open arms!
Kvyat 2019 – your average midfield drivers wo is decent, but no superstar without dropping into "uhg, please drop him" territory
Funily, he still has more podiums than Hulkenberg (and one of them was in a midgrid team)

But the Hulk has Pole positions in a midfield team…
NewVerstappenFan (@jureo)
Hard to judge F1 drivers. Kvyat is a fine example, at times he was faster than DR, then was dropped in favor of generational talent Verstappen.
Hierarchies start to develop from there. You have old guard Hamilton, conquerer of east, west, north and south, then there are disruptors – aiming for his throne: Verstappen and Leclerc. Then there is old champion Vettel, fallen from grace but still holding some silver of old speed.
Where do you put midfield drivers like Kvyat? All of them are really good drivers, in their early 20's who dedicated their life to the sport and are now growing up fixing up their life.
Hamilton was not this good 10 years ago, well that's where those boys are at, they are not this good, but competition is this good.
Kvyat now, having found out he is not a pure #1 in the world, is taking his day one race at a time, doing his job to the best of his ability, not overdoing his talent, yet achieving what is possible.
Something Riciardo also has to deal with, as does Perez, and many before them. Being excellent but not quite Hamilton level.
And some like Vettel have an even tougher mountain to climb. Having fallen from WDC level down to just being excellent, that is a tough mental battle, that he is loosing currently.
Kvyat seems to have put the worst behind him and can now achieve his potential and improve forward.

Kvyat was never faster than Riccardo
sethje (@seth-space)
He beat Ricciardo in 2015 with a lot less experience.
For a complete story look here:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2615700-formula-1-2016-head-to-head-daniil-kvyat-vs-daniel-ricciardo-at-red-bull
So all in all he really did not bad and more points in 2015 was a good result.
TrickyMario7654
Kvyat only beat Ricciardo in 2015 because he had better luck in terms of reliability:
https://f1metrics.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/2015-model-based-driver-rankings/
Look how many points Riccardo lost due to DNFs!
Mashiat (@mashiat)
@seth-space From the very article you linked:
The final points table did not accurately reflect on reality. Kvyat was not the best or the quickest driver of the two over the course of the year—Ricciardo was.
Which sums it up really. Kvyat was lucky to have beaten Ricciardo on points that year, and was never really at his level. And he didn't really improve in the first four races of 2016 in that regard.
Good to see Kvyatt is a real teamplayer it seems.
No quite performing as his talent promised in his starting year. But nevertheless a driver with still some untapped potential and some rookie mistakes.
In Monza it was an oil leak not a Power Unit Problem..
Aleš Norský (@gpfacts)
I like him and he could be pretty good, but he has not done enough last year. Sure, 37 points and a podium looks like great season for STR driver, but the other side of the garage scored 48 points and equaled the podium. Kvyat is an intelligent guy and I don't really understand why he still sees his future with Red Bull. There is little doubt that if anybody else (younger) comes into Dr. Marko's peripheral vision, Daniil is out of that seat in a snap…even in a middle of season. He should look elsewhere if he wants to be in F1 long time.
Wellbalanced
Kvyat only has a seat in F1 (Torro Rosso/Alpha whatever it is) unless and until Marko decides he doesn't- which is surely not going beyond 1-2 more years.
I'm not sure how being outscored by drivers with less combined years in F1 than you have is good going forward.
Facetious (@peartree)
Really? We're still doing this..dreaming.
Cristiano Ferreira
This guy needs to leave Red Bull territory ASAP if he still wants to be part of the grid in the future. He will be the first one to get the axe once the next Vettel or Verstappen appears under Marko's radar.
Maybe Haas, Renault (if RIC decides to leave) or Sauber (if Kimi decides to leave) are good places for him.

Q: Swagger schema properties ignored when using $ref - why? I'm trying to build a Swagger model for a time interval, using a simple string to store the time (I know that there is also datetime):
definitions:
  Time:
    type: string
    description: Time in 24 hour format "hh:mm".
  TimeInterval:
    type: object
    properties:
      lowerBound:
        $ref: "#/definitions/Time"
        description: Lower bound on the time interval.
        default: "00:00"
      upperBound:
        $ref: "#/definitions/Time"
        description: Upper bound on the time interval.
        default: "24:00"

For some reason the generated HTML does not show the lowerBound and upperBound "description", but only the original Time "description". This makes me think I'm not doing this correctly.
So the question is if using a model as a type can in fact be done as I'm trying to do.

A: TL;DR: $ref siblings are supported (to an extent) in OpenAPI 3.1. In previous OpenAPI versions, any keywords alongside $ref are ignored.
OpenAPI 3.1
Your definition will work as expected when migrated to OpenAPI 3.1. This new version is fully compatible with JSON Schema 2020-12, which allows $ref siblings in schemas.
openapi: 3.1.0
...

components:
  schemas:
    Time:
      type: string
      description: Time in 24 hour format "hh:mm".

    TimeInterval:
      type: object
      properties:
        lowerBound:
          # ------- This will work in OAS 3.1 ------- #
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/Time"
          description: Lower bound on the time interval.
          default: "00:00"
        upperBound:
          # ------- This will work in OAS 3.1 ------- #
          $ref: "#/components/schemas/Time"
          description: Upper bound on the time interval.
          default: "24:00"

Outside of schemas - for example, in responses or parameters - $refs only allow sibling summary and description keywords. Any other keywords alongside these $refs will be ignored.
# openapi: 3.1.0

# This is supported
parameters:
  - $ref: '#/components/parameters/id'
    description: Entity ID

# This is NOT supported
parameters:
  - $ref: '#/components/parameters/id'
    required: true

Here're some OpenAPI feature requests about non-schema $ref siblings that you can track/upvote:

*

*Allow sibling elements with $ref that overrides the references definition

*Allow required as sibling of $ref (like summary/description)

*Extend/override properties of a parameter
OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0.x
In these versions, $ref works by replacing itself and all of its sibling elements with the definition it is pointing at. That is why
      lowerBound:
        $ref: "#/definitions/Time"
        description: Lower bound on the time interval.
        default: "00:00"

becomes
      lowerBound:
        type: string
        description: Time in 24 hour format "hh:mm".

A possible workaround is to wrap $ref into allOf - this can be used to "add" attributes to a $ref but not override existing attributes.
      lowerBound:
        allOf:
          - $ref: "#/definitions/Time"
        description: Lower bound on the time interval.
        default: "00:00"

Another way is to use replace the $ref with an inline definition.
definitions:
  TimeInterval:
    type: object
    properties:
      lowerBound:
        type: string  # <------
        description: Lower bound on the time interval, using 24 hour format "hh:mm".
        default: "00:00"
      upperBound:
        type: string  # <------
        description: Upper bound on the time interval, using 24 hour format "hh:mm".
        default: "24:00"


DarioHealth, an Israli-based global digital health company with mobile healthand big data solutions, announced today that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Pre-market Notification (510(k)) clearance for the Company's Lightning®-enabled version of the acclaimed Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System which enables the use of the Dario app on iPhone 7, 8 and X smart mobile devices (SMD). Consumers in the U.S. market will be able to receive the same quality user experience with DarioHealth on the latest Apple devices, including the iPhone X.
DarioHealth has been marketing the product in the U.S. exclusively for Apple iOS 6.1 platform and higher since the FDA first granted clearance for the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System in December 2015, and certain leading Android SMD's.
This news opens a significant U.S. market opportunity for DarioHealth, as it enables DarioHealth to provide its diabetes management platform and expand the sales of the Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System to iPhone 7, 8 and X SMDs. The Dario Blood Glucose Monitoring System combines an all-in-one compact glucose meter that connects directly to your smartphone via the Dario app to provide people with diabetes a simple and accurate way to improve their diabetes management.
The launch of Apple's smartphones with only a Lightning connector posed a unique challenge to the entire mobile ecosystem. With today's announcement, DarioHealth can now successfully offer to U.S. consumers its proprietary meter with either a 3.5mm headphone jack or Lightning connector. With the FDA clearance, DarioHealth plans to expand U.S. sales in the coming weeks.
"We've been working tirelessly to bring forth a solution that would meet the rigorous standards required to achieve the FDA clearance. We are proud that our organization worked with agility to ensure connectivity to the latest Apple devices. This is a big breakthrough to receive the FDA's marketing clearance for the Dario product on iPhone 7, 8 and X, and allows many of our past users who upgraded to these new iPhones to renew their Dario experience. This continues DarioHealth's U.S. market progress, and truly opens the door for wide-scale expansion in this pivotal market. Of course, this milestone is a testament to our superb teamwork, and I am proud of the hard work and success that our talented team has achieved," said Erez Raphael, Chairman and CEO of DarioHealth.

* Script overhaul; now only uses one script to control the entire set.
* Modify enabled; you may rez and fine tune your pips!


The children left a sunny Chatburn to begin their journey to Liverpool to catch the ferry over to the Isle of Man. There was much excitement amongst the children as they set off on their big adventure!
The children arrived safely and have enjoyed getting acquainted with their new surroundings at the Venture Centre.
Today, the children have woken after what could be loosely described as 'sleep' and headed out onto the lake.
They have enjoyed kayaking, raft building and are 'having a ball' according to Mrs Hall. The sun is shining and everyone is happy!
raced them on the Lake!
Just a small selection of all the wonderful activities and experiences we had.


I'm in for Blue Boxed Edition.
CIB Blue since the Reds are gone.
Hi i just wanted to ask any new updates on the release of (HUNGER SHARK?) and are payments being taken soon, i would like to know thanks.
The manual is being completed now and just waiting on the OK from Albert to have the cartridges put together.
I would like a blue boxed edition. Looks great!
I'd like a blue box as well. Looks fun!
Hi i just wanted to ask is this game coming out soon.
The boxes are in the mail to me from Marc. Just waiting on the final revision on the manual and an OK on the latest build of the BIN. Once that happens I will start taking payments and the game will ship 7-10 days later.
There can always be delays in the home stretch of a release that are unforeseen. This is why I quit taking pre-payments until I know everything is in final production. Some people, understandably, get worried when they have paid and then the game starts getting delayed. I work with the best people available to release these games and if they see a problem it gets corrected before things continue. I just want to make sure that the final product is the highest quality attainable.
Don't worry, HUNGER SHARK is almost ready to go.
Thanks. The art work is by a friend of mine, Michael Duron aka LocoDuck. He is also doing the label art for the re-branded SHARKNADO game TWIST'-SHARK.
This is the original art before it was scanned into a digital file.
Just putting in a second request to get on the blue boxed list. I think my last post from two or three weeks back was overlooked when the reservation list has been updated, so I wanna make sure I'm on the list!
Sorry about that. I have you reserved for a Normal (Blue) Boxed Edition.
I just received the HUNGER SHARK boxes and everything looks great!! I also got an O.K. on the final BIN on real hardware. The manual should be ready in a day or so. As soon as I get an update I will start taking payments.
All 50 of the HUNGER SHARK boxes. Unfolded. Anybody want to help folding them??
Cartridges are being produced and I am just waiting on that to finish before taking payments. Hopefully by the end of next week.
There are still some copies of the Normal (Blue) Boxed and the Cartridge and manual only versions. Once payments are being accepted the reserve is over and the prices go up $5 each.
You can put me down for a blue boxed!
You got it. List updated.
I'll take a blue boxed version please.
If a red opens up for some reason I'll take one of those too.
I'll take a NORMAL Boxed Edition (BLUE) please!
If anyone on the Red drops out, please switch mine over to red.

Q: Having a child call it's parent's version of their grandparent's virtual function Say we have a situation like this:
class Grampa() {
...
public:
    thing favoriteThing;
    virtual void sayFavoriteThing();
};
class Daddy: public Grampa() {
...
public:
    sayFavoriteThing() {
         cout << favoriteThing << " is my favorite thing!" << endl;

    }

};

class Son() : public Daddy {
    //How can I set the Son's sayFavoriteThing() to simply call the Daddy's sayFavoriteThing() ?
};

I want to set the lowermost child's function to be equivalent to his direct parent, without just copying and pasting the code. It seems like he doesn't inherit it by default as the original class has got it set to virtual.

A: If the code is not working for you, I think it's because you forgot to specify a return type for Daddy:sayFavoriteThing.  Change the first line of that function to:
void sayFavoriteThing() override {

Q: RegEx for parsing addresses in a required format I'm working on parsing Address fields using regex. How do I include certain patterns?
Case 1:
Address Format : (House_NMBR)(SPACE)(STREET)

For parsing House_Number in AddressLine field which starts with number. -/ symbols are allowed. Single letters are also allowed in the house nmbr.
Below are some of the acceptable data for House Number:
Expected Data:

11
11-11
11-11-11
11 A
11A
11/A
11/ A,

I have written the regex below,
Regex Pattern
(^[0-9]+[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[-]?[\/]?[0-9]?[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[-]?[\/]?[0-9]?[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[,]?)

It parses 1-1-1 or 11-11, but does not parse 111-111.
Case 2:
Address Format : (HouseNmbrExtension)(space)(HouseNumber)

There are list of words possibly could come such as Floor Numbers(1st FL,2nd FL) or  Suite, Level etc followed by number. The numberpattern after last space goes to housenumber part.
Expected Data:

LEVEL 12 333 >> Level 12 (HouseNmbrExtension), 333 (HouseNumber)
SUITE32 33/44 >> SUITE32 (HouseNmbrExtension), 33/44 (HouseNumber)
1st FLOOR 300 >> 1st FLOOR (HouseNmbrExtension), 300 (HouseNumber)
3rd FL 900 >> 3rd FL (HouseNmbrExtension), 900 (HouseNumber)
Unit 12 22A >> Unit 12 (HouseNmbrExtension), 22A (HouseNumber)

Regex Pattern:
(Level ?.*|Suite [0-9]+?[-]?[0-9]??.*|Unit [0-9]+?[-]?[0-9]?|Tower ?.*|.* Floor?.*|FL ?.*|.*?)
\s
(^[0-9]+[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[-]?[\/]?[0-9]?[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[-]?[\/]?[0-9]?[\s]?[A-Za-z]{0,1}[,]?)

But, result is not coming as expected.
How do I get the patterns correctly parsed?


Matt and I thought we were pretty smart, trying to save money by getting a Costco card. However, I think it is causing us to either waste money or make us fat. We bought potatoes in bulk and in case you are wondering, we wasted a bunch. Then, Matt had a brilliant idea! I LOVE hash-browns! Pretty sure it's genetic, because so does Momma Kim! Anyways, Jess gave us this sweet vegetable slicer and so we sliced up the rest of our potatoes before they went bad! Matt now has hash-browns ready anytime I want them, even at night time! Who doesn't love Breakfast for dinner?! Well they are lying to you, because literally everyone does.
Slice or shred about 6 cups of potatoes and rinse in cold water to remove starch until the water runs clear. Then put the the potatoes in a freezer ziploc bag with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Shake up the bag until the oil is spread evenly. Place in the freezer.
When you pull the potatoes out of the freezers, cook in a hot pan with 2 tablespoons water to defrosted the potatoes. Then season with butter and seasoning. Cook until crispy and golden brown!!

Talk about the Rock Stars of Public Speaking!
Sarah Palin and Barack Obama have taken this skill to a new level and shaken up the podium!
Their oratory skills brings to the front the discussion of Delivery vs. Content.
No one questions either of their skills as a speaker, but whether or not they have relevant content in their talks is the talk of pundits everywhere.
I won't address that, except to say that content should always be substantial, relevant, timely, and easily understood.
That stated, if great content can't be delivered in a manner that captures and keeps the attention and interest of the audience, the message won't be received and understood.
If the audience doesn't "Get it!", the speaker failed.

Why have an Open House? Do they work? What is the best time to have an Open House? How do I prepare for and Open House? Will I get feed back from my Open House? Will people come to my Open House? These are all questions you should ask the Realtor before you have an Open House.
To have a successful Open House, make sure the agent holding your home Open is familiar with the neighborhood. Not only the neighborhood but, this agent should be familiar with the local schools, churchs, bus lines, shopping, x-ways, recreation and the builders who developed and built the neighborhood along with recent sales and homes that currently are on the market in a similar price range. It is important that the agent is an information center.
The people who come to the Open House, come for a variety of reasons. Not everyone wants to buy today, some are just getting motivated to buy in the future. Some come for decorating ideas, and some are the neighbors, who are keeping up with prices and may know someone who may want to live in their neighborhood. The best buyers are the Transferees, and they are here for a variety of reasons. They might be in between jobs, have a job and are relocating from another state or city. Moving to be nearer to their family etc.
How does a buyer prepare for looking at Open Houses? I feel that most know ahead of time if they are going looking on their own on Sundays, Generally without a Realtor. They start by first scouring the internet if they have access to a computer. Next, get the local Sunday Paper and go thru the Open House section first thing in the morning while drinking their coffee. They make a list of potenial homes then drive around, look at neighborhoods that are appealing to them. Go to brunch or church or both, then get ready to tour. This is why I always have my Open Houses from 2 to 4. You get more qualifed leads that way.
Will I sell my home at the Open House? It depends on a few things. And yes, I have sold many homes at my Open Houses. To make that happen, some things must be just right, mainly, the price, neighborhood, condition, curb appeal etc.
When I have a new listing, there is a lot of excitement, I am proud of it, and want to show it off as soon as possible. So I try to have it Open immediately. I will create a flyer, send out a mailer, make calls, post on local bulletin boards and have a enough signs to cover two major intersections to create the most traffic. And contact other agents who might be familiar with the neighborhood and sell in that price range.
So, to sum it up, Open Houses work, but the Agent must prepare along with the Seller. The Agent and the Seller are a team,. There must be open lines of communication to have everything fall into place. I enjoy holding homes open and I enjoy meeting new people and giving them the right information. Timing is everything.

The Mediterranean Challenge Within a World of Humanitarian Crises
While the high number of migrants and refugees arriving in Europe in 2015 has increased pressures and tensions, this is not a crisis beyond the capability of Europe to manage together as a Union. We need bold, collective thinking and action to develop a truly comprehensive approach.
There are currently some 60 million people in the world who have been displaced by persecution, war, conflict or disaster – the most we have seen in the post-World War II era. However, whereas at that time weary and war-torn Europe was a place to turn away from and leave behind, it is now at the receiving end of displacement.
Europe's neighbours to the south and the east are experiencing unprecedented levels of instability, conflict, economic collapse and, increasingly, the effects of a changing climate. The war in Syria and attendant impacts on the region continue with no end in sight. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan are host to most of the four million Syrians who have fled their homelands. They deserve to be strongly commended for it but, with limited prospects in the region, inevitably many displaced people are now making their way to Europe through Turkey and Greece via the Eastern Mediterranean route. Political instability in Libya has not decreased, and so it continues to be both a source and a channel of irregular flows to Italy via the Central Mediterranean route.
According to IOM data, more than 900,000 migrants, refugees and asylum seekers arrived in the European Union through the Mediterranean in 2015, almost entirely via the Eastern and Central Mediterranean routes to Greece and Italy. The number of deaths – more than 3,500 in 2015 –exceeds 2014's record death toll. And it is not known how many additional deaths go unreported. Even when estimates of the missing are available following shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, bodies are often not found. We should also not forget that many migrants die en route to Europe in Africa and the Middle East. In mid-June, the bodies of 48 migrants were found decaying in the desert between Niger and Algeria.
A neglected dimension of the situation in the Mediterranean is the ramifications for the families of those who die, particularly when the body is never found or there is no identification of the dead. Not only do families experience what has been called 'ambiguous loss' but a person going missing can affect family dynamics and social relations, the family's economic situation, and processes like inheritance, remarriage and guardianship of children.
Policy challenges
While the numbers arriving in Europe increased in 2015 and pressures in some spots have ignited tensions and drawn media attention, this is not a crisis beyond the capability of Europe to manage together as a Union, provided it has a clear-eyed understanding of the policy challenges that must be tackled.
First, Europe owes it to itself to set aside the current migration narrative. It is toxic at present and it hints at a denial of both European history and European values. We need to get back to a more balanced dialogue. We need to refute misleading myths and stereotypes and recall that historically migration has been overwhelmingly positive. Through open dialogue and examination of evidence, we can re-discover that well-managed migration is consistent with development.
The second challenge is learning to manage diversity. Demographics indicate that most countries of the world will in future become more multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious. This is a recipe for social well-being and economic prosperity. But to achieve these goals we will need a lot of political courage and imagination, and investments in public information, awareness and dialogue. To begin with, we need to move the debate from its focus on identity to a focus on common values. We need to grasp the essential fact that others may not look like me or speak like me but can share common commitments and ideas.
Thirdly, it is integral to good migration governance that we marry sovereign rights and obligations with the rights, obligations and dreams of migrants, reconcile national security and human security, and balance sovereignty and individual freedom.
Priorities for action
The first priority is to save lives. In the short term, rescue at sea needs to remain robust and well resourced.
The second priority is to provide effective responses to the mass humanitarian flows reaching Europe. The broad lines of action have already been identified and they are consonant with the operational modalities that have been used to deal successfully with such emergency situations in the past.
Effective reception arrangements must be set up. The International Organization of Migration (IOM) welcomes the commitment to solidarity through increasing European Union (EU) support to front-line Member States which are receiving high numbers of migrant arrivals, and stands ready to contribute to the efforts of the involved EU agencies and Member States.
We also welcome and strongly support the European Commission's proposal for an expanded relocation scheme to better achieve the impact that is needed given significant pressures on frontline EU States as well as in neighbouring countries currently hosting millions of displaced people. Equitable sharing of relocation among EU Member States and increased resettlement within and beyond the EU must be part of the solution.
Experience has taught us that in order to protect the integrity of the international protection framework, status determination systems must be put into place to distinguish between people who have a genuine need for protection and those whose claims for asylum cannot be established. For the latter, voluntary return to their country of origin will be the most appropriate solution but careful planning and implementation are necessary for this to be successful and sustainable. Looking ahead, it will be necessary to invest in reintegration programmes that will enable returnees to rejoin their communities of origin.
Some interventions may be desirable before migrants reach Europe. IOM is planning a test in Niger of its Migration Response and Resource Mechanism (MRRM). Its aim is to provide operational support to government authorities to address complex migratory flows, as well as facilitating the identification and registration of migrants and supporting data collection to feed into evidence-based policy and programming. IOM is also planning to establish an MRRM pilot facility in Libya, stability permitting, and is exploring the feasibility of MRRMs in Turkey and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
Finally, a robust international response must rapidly be put into place to end trafficking and smuggling operations as well as measures aimed at undercutting their business on both shores of the Mediterranean, recognising that criminal networks operate across regions.
The third priority is nothing less than a paradigm shift in the governance of migration. However pressing the current humanitarian crisis, a response that focuses solely on immediate humanitarian and security needs without addressing the broader picture – the underlying drivers of irregular migration, the demand for labour migration at all skill levels and the impact of communication networks – will be neither effective nor sustainable in the longer term. Without a long-term vision to guide policy and practice and to respond to community apprehensions we will be trapped in a crisis-mode intervention time warp. The current humanitarian crisis should be for us all a reminder of the importance that mobility has acquired in today's world. We cannot wish this away. We can only accept it as part of our contemporary reality and manage it for the benefit of all.
We need bold, collective thinking and action to develop a truly comprehensive approach to the governance of migration. That will in turn ensure provision of the precious commodity of protection for refugees, and create channels for safe and regular migration for high- and low-skilled workers and those in need of family reunification. Such an approach would also need to offer community stabilisation and development programmes in countries of origin for migrants as well as countries of first refuge for refugees to reduce migratory pressures.
Regular dialogue with countries of origin and transit is critical to achieving consensus on these important matters, addressing the root causes and the immediate challenges that the migrant flows represent.
