Record Videos of Apps in Windows 10 with the Built-In Xbox App
Walter Glenn
Filed to: windows 10Filed to: windows 10
If you ever need to record a video of an app on your screen in Windows 10, the built-in Xbox app has a recording tool that may fit the bill.
The Xbox app comes already installed in Windows 10. One of its features is a video recorder tool intended to let you capture in game videos. It turns out the tool will work with just about any app. It won't capture your entire desktop, so if that's what you're looking for you'll need to turn to a more powerful screen casting app. But if you just need to record a specific app, give it a try.
If you haven't already, you'll need to run the Xbox app for the first time. After that, you can press Windows+G to open the Game Bar overlay, which includes tools for capturing an image or video of an app window. The first time you launch game bar for each app, you'll get a message asking whether it's a game. Just tell it yes and start recording. Captured videos are saved in the MP4 format in Videos/Captures.

Richard W. Reading (February 7, 1882 – December 9, 1952) was a Republican mayor of Detroit, Michigan from 1938 to 1940.

Biography
Richard William Reading was born in Detroit on February 7, 1882, the son of Richard W. and Louise M. Reading.  He was educated in the Detroit Public Schools and attended the University of Detroit.

Reading married Blanche White in 1901.  The couple had four children.

Reading was for a time a semi-pro wrestler.  He later worked variously as a printer, a newspaper executive, and a real estate dealer before entering public life in 1921.

Reading was appointed City Assessor in 1921, moved to City Controller in 1924, and was elected City Clerk in 1926.  He stayed in the office of clerk until 1939, when he ran for mayor, ultimately defeating Patrick H. O'Brien by nearly two-to-one.  However, once in the office, Reading engaged in graft, selling protection to  numbers racketeers and promotions to police officers.  This corruption was exposed as the campaign for the next mayoral election was gearing up, and Reading was crushed by Edward Jeffries.

Shortly after leaving office, Reading was indicted on charges of accepting bribes and conspiring to protect Detroit's gambling rackets.  He was sentenced to four to five years in prison, of which he served three.

Richard W. Reading died on December 9, 1952, in Brighton, Michigan.

Countertrade (International) - Explained
What is a Countertrade?
Updated at July 22nd, 2021
What is a Countertrade?Academic Research for Countertrade
Countertrade is a system of trade where buyers import machinery, equipment, technology, and raw materials from foreign manufacturers on a credit basis and agree to pay back the debt with other products or labor in a given time frame.
Also, countertrade is an international trading system in which governments decrease the trade deficits between two or more countries.
Back to: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS, LAW, & RELATIONS
Academic Research for Countertrade
A note on countertrade: contractual uncertainty and transaction governance in emerging economies, Choi, C. J., Lee, S. H., & Kim, J. B. (1999). Journal of International Business Studies, 30(1), 189-201. The paper establishes a conceptual framework for evaluating organisational impacts on contractual risks in regards to developing economies. Regardless of the ancient explanation by inadequacies of foreign exchange, Arguments of continued international countertrade demonstrates organisational cures to institutional governance transactions deficit
The economics and politics of countertrade, Banks, G. (1983). World Economy, 6(2), 159-182. The paper concludes that countertrade is of minimal benefits in world trade. Systematic forces in Eastern bloc countries increase the probability of continuous in the countertrade to increase significantly to external trade. In countertrade, powerful domestic interests are significant only in the non-market economies where it is of inflexible source
Economic incentives for countertrade, Mirus, R., & Yeung, B. (1986). Journal of International Business Studies, 17(3), 27-39. The paper undertakes an examination of countertrade using standard economic theory. The theory demonstrates circumstances under which countertrade is a reasonable response transactional cost, information disproportionateness, ethical hazard-agency challenges and other market defectiveness. The paper also develops an introduction proposition that is capable of experiential examination after improvement.
Countertrade: Forms, motives, pitfalls, and negotiation requisites, Khoury, S. J. (1984). Journal of Business Research, 12(2), 257-270. This paper observes countertrade from the viewpoint of policy makers and businesses and outlines the definition of countertrade and the types that include barter, counter-purchase, buy-back arrangements and switch trades. Reasons backing the countertrade are discussed from the perception of East Europeans, developing countries and Western organizations. The conclusion states that countertrade is a developing strategy of trade and the need of American businesses adjusting to it to sustain and develop their attractiveness in the global markets.
Tying trade flows a theory of countertrade with evidence, Marin, D., & Schnitzer, M. (1995). The American Economic Review, 1047-1064. A countertrade contract bonds export to an import. In most cases, countertrade is condemned to be a form of bilateralism and mutuality hence an ineffective form of international trade. In this paper, the authors discuss the situations in which combining of two technologically dissimilar trade movements is probable for efficiency improvements. The authors illustrate that there is a possibility of countertrade being efficient in international trade that provides the solution to moral-hazard problems and reinstates solvency of very obligated countries.
The transaction-cost rationale for countertrade, Hennart, J. F. (1989). Journal of Law, Economics, & Organization, 5(1), 127-153. The paper defines countertrade as an agreement between the buyer and a seller in which the major transaction is accompanied by extra terms. The major counter trade forms are barter trade, switch trade and clearing arrangements. Most literature is concentrated on the macro-economic and legal factors while no attention is devoted to managerial functions which may not be significant in some types of countertrade like barter is more necessary for complex agreements.
Countertrade, offsets and barter in international political economy, Hammond, G. T. (1990). The paper refers to countertrade as a set of commercial arrangements between a buyer and a seller in which the main transaction is complemented by numerous conditions. The paper aims at the development of initial grouping of compensatory requests applied in offset deliberations which form part of the highly significant, multifaceted and least documented countertrade forms. The paper is also aimed at the identification of some unexplained challenges to be examined in the coming studies.
Achieving an advantage with countertrade, Reisman, A., Fuh, D. C., & Li, G. (1988). Industrial Marketing Management, 17(1), 55-63. The paper examines the numerous layouts of countertrade which is the current development of traditional goods exchange trade. The format provides the nomenclature of grouping the ways of the conduct of countertrade which includes; allocates the benefits for the trading partners based on the respective degree of economic development in their home countries, and argues on the process of countertrade generally sufficient to set into every format. The paper also describes product bundling and principles of setting countertrade regulations. Even though the above discussed being universal, some specific example illustrating countertrade is with the Peoples Republic of China.
Some empirical dimensions of countertrade, Hennart, J. F. (1990). Journal of International Business Studies, 21(2), 243-270. The paper studies some of the current theories of reasons for the implementing countertrade barriers and undertakes the comparison of the impacts of these theories with the information from an all-inclusive database of countertrade activities.
The management of countertrade: Factors influencing success, Lecraw, D. J. (1989). Journal of International Business Studies, 20(1), 41-59. Countertrade victory was found to be higher for firms that had experience in exporting and in countertrade activities, large, were able to withstand countertrade take-backs and valued upright incorporation, high visibility, complex products, had the low reputation for quality and high volumes. Attainments were also higher provided the importer treated quality with utmost considerations, with low technical proficiency inexperienced ion exporting, encountered obligations in export markets, highly expensive forward contracts foreign exchange limitation and challenged low exchange rate.

We keep hearing of the 'wait-and-watch' or 'fence-sitting' syndrome on the residential property market, which basically means that a significant number of people who want to buy a home are not doing so.
Property buyers tend to wait and watch rather than buy for two or three reasons. One would be that they are waiting for a 'price correction' – a meaningful reduction in the prices developers quote for their properties. Regardless of whether their hopes are realistic or not, this fence-sitting' dynamic is a definitely a fact.
It is also frequently said that buyers may also be waiting for lower interest rates on home loans. This is only partly true.
While they certainly play a role in overall buyer sentiment, especially in the affordable housing segment, lower interest rates alone are not a sufficiently compelling rationale for aspiring mid-range housing buyers to abandon their 'wait-and-watch' mode.
Buyers may also 'sit on the fence' if the city they want to buy a home in is experiencing some kind of political unrest or another kind of turmoil.
A hesitation to invest in a property, for this reason, is obviously beyond the powers of the property market to address, and will usually change only when the core problem is resolved.
A buyer may have been receiving inputs from many different sources, some of which predict that property prices will come down soon.
If they do, the buyer would have incurred a loss by buying too soon. If they don't, the buyer would have missed the optimal 'entry point', and certain flats which were shortlisted earlier may suddenly be off the market.
The question is whether one should attempt time the market. The answer depends on who is asking the question.
Property in a growing economy always appreciates over the long term – this is an immutable fact of the market.
Property prices in a more or less healthy economy never do a complete about-turn and start marching in the opposite direction, though they will occasionally deviate from 'learned' market predictions.
Today, many freshly-launched and under-construction projects in the early stages of completion are being sold at lower rates than comparable projects in similar locations in earlier times.
All this boils down to an ongoing correction of sorts. However, it is not possible to predict when developers will officially come down on their rates. It is a function of the market. As long as unofficial discounts to serious buyers serve the purpose, it is unlikely that there will be an official correction of prices.
In other words, it is unwise to wait for a formal price correction, since prices may not reduce and could even increase in certain locations and projects. Also, the best options may be snapped up.
The best course of action for 'fence-sitting' buyers today is to short-list the properties they are interested in, ensure that they are RERA-compliant (and, in the case of under-construction projects, have a reasonable completion timeline), negotiate the best possible deal with the developer and go in for purchase.
This may not be the best advice to investors, who have sufficient reason and also a sufficiently large horizon with which to try and time the market. For buyers intent on purchasing a home for personal use, however, waiting and watching in the current market environment would be counter-productive.
There has never been such a generous spread of ready-to-move-in options across markets, and prices have bottomed out. Simultaneously, interest rates have dropped from 10.75% in 2008 to as low as 8.75% today. To top it off, most developers have unleashed lucrative offers which result in further savings on the bottom line.
The highly buyer-favouring market environment prevailing today has certainly not been lost on fence-sitting buyers. We have seen an increase of 20 to 25%% in firmly-decided buyers in the last six months alone.
For others, however, waiting and watching has become something of a chronic habit that is hard to abandon. The next 12 to 18 months will be a vital period for the Indian residential property sector as it waits for a larger chunk of buyers to hit the market and finally buy the homes they have been longing for.

Ice Climbing Season is Ending— But Not for the Reasons You Might Think
Holly Graham March 10, 2017 Lifestyle + Culture

For the adventurous Coloradan, ice climbing is a unique winter sport worth trying. But you better act quick, because this year's season is on its way out.
With Colorado's encroaching spring, there might be only a week or two left in the ice climbing season. That's because the season may end earlier than normal due to warm weather. But it's not just because the ice is melting. Climbing on hotter days can actually create lasting damage.
"Ice climbing is not like rock. With rock climbing, the rock stays pretty much the same. Ice changes quite a bit— it could flow here one day, it could flow there the next. So keeping an eye on the conditions and only climbing when the conditions are good is very important. For example, if you climb when it's too warm or something like that, you could change that ice climb for the rest of the season just by one time going up it. Really preserving the climbs we have is very important," said Brian Shelton, owner of Front Range Climbing Company in Colorado Springs.
As a result one of the most difficult parts of ice climbing is finding the best weather conditions to climb. You might think a really cold day would be perfect for climbing ice— think again. On frigid days, the ice is brittle and can shatter more easily. This makes it difficult to safely brace the hand and foot-holds in the ice. Warmer days make the ice more malleable and it's easier to plunge the holds deep into the ice for maximum stability. If it's too warm it can actually make it difficult to maintain the longevity of the flow.
During the winter, some of FRCC's favorite spots to take customers include Clear Creek Canyon outside of Denver, North Cheyenne Cañon's Silver Cascade in Colorado Springs near Helen Hunt Falls and their own private, man-made ice climbing wall near Eleven Mile Reservoir.
"We have a contract with the Pikes Peak Council of the Boy Scouts. They have a property up near Eleven Mile Canyon, which is about 45 minutes west of Colorado Springs. Up there we have anywhere from a 40 to a 60-foot northeast facing wall that is in the shade all the time. We pump water to the top of it and spray it down in different locations— we call it 'ice farming'— to create our own climbing wall," Shelton said.
The ice flows in Clear Creek Canyon have some Colorado-esque names including "Beer Garden," "Coors Light" and "Coors Ultra Light" among others.
Other than the obvious, ice climbing is different than rock climbing in that it takes different equipment to be able to scale an ice flow. Some say ice climbing is easier because you can make your own foot and hand holds wherever it works for you— there's no stretching to reach that tiny ledge four feet above your head.
Ice climbing entails warm clothes, crampons, unusually stiff plastic or leather boots, harnesses, helmets, ropes and more. If you're new to climbing— or just don't own all of that expensive equipment— climbing companies like FRCC offer guided ice and rock climbing packages for all experience levels.
Many of the ice climbing companies and flows have already shut down for the season including ones near Ouray, Colorado. Shelton explained, "we must be doing something right because we still have ice" and if we get another freeze, the flows near Denver and Colorado Springs might be ready to climb again.

Trinity Church has been a fixture on Market Street in Bethlehem since the late 1860s, when clergy from the Cathedral Church of the Nativity, located on the South Side, established a Sunday school in response to the need for an increased Episcopal presence on the North Side of the city. The new church, built on donated land for $4000 and furnished for $2000, was completed by Christmas of 1871, the day on which the Sunday School presented its first Christmas pageant. The building was formally consecrated on January 16, 1872. The Rt. Rev. Mark Anthony De Wolfe Howe, the Bishop of Central Pennsylvania, proclaimed the building to be, "a model of durability, convenience, cheapness and taste." The church duplicated the floor plan of the Cathedral, thus showing the connection between the two churches. Although the Nativity Vestry had earlier resolved to separate the two parishes, formal separation did not occur until November 22. and several members of the Nativity Vestry continued to serve both churches.
1928-1968 were also years of change around Trinity. While they were marked by the service of Trinity's longest-tenured rector, the Rev. Dr. Merrill Miles Moore, they saw extensive renovation to the physical plant. The most notable addition was the current three-story office wing, complete with Sunday school classrooms, offices, choir room, chapel, and sexton's apartment. It was during Dr. Moore's tenure that the music program at Trinity was also firmly established. Moore called Marvin Beinema to serve as organist and choirmaster for the newly established Choir of Men and Boys, a position Mr. Beinema held for 35 years. Trinity's magnificent Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ was installed in 1955, following alterations to the chancel and choir area to accommodate the new instrument and its supporting equipment.
As it was across the Episcopal Church as a whole during the 1970s, changes in leadership swept through Trinity during that time as well. The rector who followed Dr. Moore, the Rev. Alexander C. Zabriskie, instituted the current system of electing term-limited vestry members from the congregation at large. Lay-led initiatives in social service programs and ministries grew especially strong and were zealously supported by the Rector. Trinity began monthly Sunday dinners for those without families, sponsored Vietnamese refugees, and started a ministry in Bethlehem's Northeast public housing area. In the winter of 1982, Trinity opened a soup kitchen on the streets of Bethlehem, serving hot soup and bread to the needy from the back of a station wagon. Notably, women were no longer relegated to supporting roles. They began to take on increasing responsibility for the Christian formation and outreach programs. Some of the first women ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Bethlehem, including the Rev. Joan Shelton and Canon Jane Teter, were raised up by Trinity as well.
Trinty's role in community outreach increased exponentially during the 1980s and 1990s. The Soup Kitchen expanded to take up residence in the parish hall five days a week. Under the leadership of its coordinator, Deacon Liz Miller, it currently serves an average of 150 hot meals every day and provides limited social-services support to guests. The parish has also played a leading role in establishing ministries throughout Bethlehem to serve the underprivileged members of the community. Most recently these efforts have centered on helping to establish an emergency sheltering system for homeless residents during the winter months. In the past, they have also included a number of programs to assist single mothers and children. Many of these initiatives have become independent, self-sustaining entities, though it is not unusual to find Trinity parishioners still involved in some capacity.
The first several years of the 21st century have likewise seen some degree of change at Trinity. While the parish's involvement in the wider community has continued to be a hallmark of its common life, how it does business is vastly different from earlier times. Electronic communications and several "high church" liturgical practices were adopted by the Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely, the current Bishop of Rhode Island, during his tenure as rector. The role of women in the parish has continued to grow, culminating in the calling of the Rev. Laura Howell as rector in 2007. Major alterations to the buildings and grounds in the past few years have included the installation of air conditioning in the nave, repairs to the foundation of the building, and the addition of a memorial garden in the front of the church. The organ was also extensively repaired in 2011, restoring the instrument to its full capacity to, "make a joyful noise unto the Lord." Trinity's music department and children's programs have also enjoyed a period of rejuvenation, with multiple additions to the staff and programming in both areas.
Mother Laura retired at the end of 2017 and the search committee is currently working to find and call a new rector for the parish.


History Diagnosis And Treatment Of Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis HISTORY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF EQUINE PROTOZOAL MYELOENCEPHALITIS. Equine Protozoal Myeloencepalitis is a serious neurological disease in horses caused by a parasite protozoa thought to be sarcosystis neurona. The disease was first identified in the 1960's when lesions and inflammation were seen in the brain and spinal cords of horses that had died of severe neurologic disease. Protozoa were discovered on the lesions in 1974, however the vector was unknown and the disease considered rare. Recently the opossum has been isolated as the probable vector and the likely parasite organism identified as Sarcosystis falcatula. (Fenger, 1996) The Sarcosystis protozoan parasites have a complicated life cycle. They exist in two distinct forms.
One in the definitive host (a carnivore like the opossum) and one in a secondary or intermediate host (wild birds that the opossum feeds on). It reproduces in the digestive tract of the definitive host and passes infective sporocysts in the feces, which are then taken in by the secondary host. There the sporocysts migrate to the muscles and can persist for years until the secondary host is eaten by the definitive host. The protozoa are usually very host specific (requiring a specific carnivore to reproduce), and most likely neither host show any clinical signs of disease. (U.
Missouri .. 1999) The horse is an unfortunate casualty in this cycle; it is infected when feces of the opossum are ingested with their food material. The horse is a dead-end host, meaning it is not required in the parasite's life cycle and therefore the disease cannot be transmitted from horse to horse. Several interesting facts put forth by the University of Missouri: EPM is seen only in parts of the world that are inhabited by opossum specifically the Americas. It has been estimated that seroprevalence (indicating exposure) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Kentucky is as high as 50%, however only a small percentage (2-3%) of those exposed will become ill with symptoms. Native wild birds infected are not likely to show any symptoms, however non-native birds become acutely ill and die from S. falcatula exposure. (U.
Missouri .. 1999) Primary clinical signs of EPM occur from swelling and nerve death in the central nervous system as a result of the replicating protozoa. Neurologic signs can be directly referable to the site or sites of infection. The spinal cord is most often affected resulting in the "three A" symptoms of asymmetric ataxia and focal muscle atrophy. (Fenger, 1996) Ataxia affects the horse's sense of position in space.
When the nerves in the inner ear are damaged the horse loses unconscious proprioception which is the directional sense of up and down. When the conscious proprioception tracts from the joints and muscles of the legs are damaged the animal loses its sense of limb position in space. (Fenger, 1995) Ataxia is associated with the staggering "drunken sailor" gait used to describe animals with neurological dysfunction, and can be rated on a scale of one to five. Five being a horse which cannot stand up and one being a horse which is unlikely to fall and looks normal walking strait but can be made to show deficit when turning, or going up and down an incline. Horses with EPM can exhibit any level of ataxia from mild to severe however often horses' symptoms will be asymmetric (more severe on one side) and be combined with focal muscle atrophy (wasting and weakness) especially in the hindquarters. (Fenger, 1995) It is important to note that often the only signs of EPM may be a slight gait asymmetry or apparent lameness that fails to block out in a comprehensive lameness exam. Therefore the disease may not be apparent to the lay person in its early stages.
(Fenger, 1996) EPM is often overlooked in the ten percent of horses that experience airway problems as a result of cranial nerve dysfunction. Because most horses that have airway problems do not have EPM it is often missed in its early stages, the astute observer may notice signs of 'quidding' (food material in the nostrils) and atrophy of the temporalis and/or masseter muscles. (Fenger, 1996) Secondary clinical signs are the result of injury to other structures such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments due to ataxia and nerve dysfunction. Upward fixation of the patella is common, probably because of quadriceps weakness. Other problems such as bucked shins, splints and bowed tendons can occur due to the tendency for these animals to travel very heavily on the forehand. Another common side effect is back soreness-often severe-resulting from the asymmetric use of the limbs. (Fenger, 1996) EPM can often be seen by observing horses during training however, it may easily be overlooked or attributed to a number of other ailments.
Early signs may include evident discomfort and weakness in the rear limbs. Frequent bucking, head tossing or excessively high head carriage. Minimal forward extension at the gallop and difficulty maintaining a specific lead, and negotiating turns are all symptoms; the horse may cross-canter or frequently change leads. The front limbs may seem to "float" at the trot, or the horse may drag one or all of its feet. Racehorses frequently have trouble breaking from the starting gate, and/or maintaining position in the turns.
An important sign of EPM that is probably most often overlooked is many horses with the disease develop a bad attitude towards training, due to a lack of confidence, or pain associated with secondary problems. (Fenger, 1996) Horses that exhibit these problems should be evaluated by a vet for other neurological abnormalities. EPM can mimic any other neurological disease and therefore can be very difficult to diagnose effectively. The clinical signs can range from very mild to severe and the progression of the disease slow or sometimes not at all. Meaning that many horses with mild cases will never be diagnosed at all.
A Western blot test can be used to test blood serum for anti-bodies indicating exposure, however a positive serum result does not mean that the horse is infected with the disease. Because EPM can present itself like a number of other diseases it is necessary to use further tests to definitively diagnose. For most animals this means an analysis of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) which when abnormal will show in increased level of proteins and inflammation. (Fenger, 1996) The CSF can be extracted either from the Allanto-occipital space (where the head meets the neck) or from the Lumbo-sacral space (above the hindquarters.) However since the CSF flows in a caudal (towards the back) direction the Lumbo-sacral space is preferred as it will be more likely to show inflammation. Also important to consider is that testing the Allanto-occipital space requires that the horse be anesthetized and laid down, which can be dangerous in a horse that has neurological problems.
(Levine, 1999) The University of Missouri-Columbia's current recommendations for treatment include a course of oral anti-protozoal drugs combined with sulfa drugs for a minimum of 12-16 weeks, and the horse should remain on the medication for 4 weeks after neurological symptoms disappear. The relapse rate after treatment is about 40%, however the majority of those cases occur because treatment was discontinued after less than three months. (Fenger, 1996) The current medicine of choice is Sulfadiazine and Pyremethamine used together, they should be administered once a day orally on an empty stomach to achieve peak drug levels. (U. Missouri .. 1999) About 10% of horses experience a 'treatment crisis' where the symptoms actually worsen while on the medication, this may be caused by the dying parasites and the resulting inflammation.
Usually these horses respond to anti-inflammatory drugs such as Banamine. (Levine, 1999) About one third of horses will respond to treatment in the first 10-14 days, however sometimes permanent damage has occurred to the Central Nervous System and the horse may not fully recover. If improvement is not noted within 4-6 weeks then the prognosis for recovery is relatively poor. (U. Missouri .. 1999) Pyremethamine and Sulfdiazine may cause folic acid deficiency in treated animals and previously supplementation was recommended.
New research indicates that oral folic acid supplements can actually interfere with folic acid absorption making the situation worse, especially in pregnant mares and foals. Supplementation with Folinic acid appears to be safer and is routinely administered to human patients with CNS Toxoplasmosis to prevent anemia during treatment. It should be noted that Pyremethamine cause birth defects in humans and therefore foals born to treated mares may be abnormal and often die. (U. Missouri .. 1999) Vitamin E supplements have also been recommended due to its antioxidant and mild anti-inflammatory properties. There is no vaccine for EPM and treatment does not always result in success therefore prevention is the only method of management for this disease.
Currently the only way to prevent EPM is to be vigilant about keeping opossums and wild birds out of the barn. Big dogs will deter the animals and barn cats are useful in keeping birds away, however dog and cat food must be minimized because that will attract the opossum. Trapping and removal of opossum is possible however the best method of prevention is to eliminate food sources. Grain should be stored in a sealed airtight container, any spills should be cleaned up immediately and excess should not accumulate in the stalls. If possible horses should not be permitted to drink from stagnant ponds or slow moving streams that may be contaminated.
Mice and rats should also be minimized in the barn because they may play a role in dispersing the opossum's feces. (U. Missouri .. 1999) Animal Science.

A Novel of Good and Evil, Love and Hope
By Jude Deveraux
From A Knight in Shining Armor to The Mulberry Tree, Jude Deveraux's bestsellers sparkle with stunning originality, heartfelt wit, and adventurous passion. Now, this superb storyteller mixes the flavor of a classic fairy tale with a very modern love story -- set in a town locked in the shadows of an abiding evil -- in this imaginative new novel.
Darci Monroe overcame a childhood of neglect with an ebullient spirit, a positive attitude...and extraordinary determination. Now the resourceful young woman, hired as Adam Montgomery's personal assistant, devotes more than just professional attention to this devastatingly handsome millionaire. But one thing bars Adam from accepting Darci's love: he is intent on discovering the secret of his parents' disappearance, for she possesses the otherworldly abilities needed to help him fight a terrifying mistress of the dark arts. What Darci ends up offering is a gift greater than Adam ever hoped for, for Darci loves with all her heart, and all her soul, forever...
Darci looked over the job application again, checking that she'd been absolutely truthful on every line, with no "imagination" added. Her mother said that Darci's "imagination" was like a family curse. "Must have come from your father's side of the family," Jerlene Monroe would say whenever her daughter did something she didn't understand. "Whoever he may be," Uncle Vern could be counted on to add under his breath -- then there'd be a fight. When it got to the part where Uncle Vern was shouting that his niece wasn't "full of imagination" but was just a plain ol' garden variety blankety-blank liar, Darci would silently leave the room and open a book.
But now Darci was in beautiful New York City, she had a fabulous college education under her belt, and she was applying for what had to be the best job that anyone had ever seen. And I'm going to get it! she said to herself, closing her eyes for a moment as she clutched the folded newspaper to her chest. I'll apply my True Persuasion to this and I'll be sure to get the job, she thought.
"You okay?" asked the young woman in front of her in what Darci recognized as some type of Yankee accent.
"Wonderful," Darci said, smiling. "And you?"
"Feeling like an idiot, actually. I mean, can you really believe this thing?" she asked, holding up the same newspaper that Darci was clutching. She was a tall young woman, much taller than Darci, and, compared to Darci, she was downright fat. But then people were always describing Darci as scrawny. "She's 'fashionably thin,'" her mother would say. "Jerlene!" her sister, Thelma, would snap, "you ain't never fed that girl nothin' but Jell-O and sugar cereal. She's probably starvin' to death." This statement would produce a lot of anger from Darci's mother, then a torrent of words about how hard it was to raise a daughter single-handedly. "You ain't raised her; the neighbors has," Uncle Vern would say; then the fight would escalate.
Now Darci smiled at the woman in front of her. "I think it's a miracle," she said. Darci was pretty in a fragile sort of way, with wide-set blue eyes, a tiny nose, and a little rosebud mouth. She was only five-feet-two and weighed so little that her clothes always hung loosely on her. Right now, her little black skirt with the shiny seat was fastened at the waist with a big safety pin.
"You don't think you're really going to get this job, do you?" the woman in front asked.
"Oh, yes," Darci said, taking a deep breath. "I believe in thinking positively. If you think it, you can achieve it, is what I truly believe."
The woman opened her mouth to say something; then she gave a sly smile. "Okay, so what do you think the job is, exactly? It can't be sex because it pays too much money. I can't imagine it's for running drugs or that they need a hit man, because the announcement is too public, so what do you think they really want?"
Darci blinked at the woman. Her aunt Thelma had washed Darci's only suit in soap powder that she'd bought on sale, then had taken it out of the washer before the rinse cycle began. "Saves money that way," Aunt Thelma had said. Maybe it was cheaper, but now the dried soap in the fabric was itching Darci's bare arms inside the unlined sleeves of the suit, as her pink, ruffled blouse was sleeveless.
"I think someone wants a personal assistant," Darci said, not understanding the woman's question.
At that the woman laughed. "You really think that someone is willing to pay a hundred grand a year for a PA and that you are going to get the job because you....What? Because you believe you're going to get it?"
Before Darci could reply, the woman standing in line behind her said, "Give her a break, will you? And if you don't think you're going to get the job, then why the hell are you standing in line?"
Darci didn't approve of cursing, not in any way, and she meant to say something, but the woman three down in the line spoke up. "Does anybody here have any idea what this job is about? I've been waiting for four hours and I can't find out anything."
"Four!" a woman several people ahead said loudly. "I've been here for six hours!"
"I spent the night on the sidewalk," a woman standing half a block ahead yelled.
After that, all the women began to talk to each other, and since the line was nearly four blocks long, that made quite a noise.
But Darci didn't participate in speculating on what the job was really for, because she knew in her heart, in its deepest part, that the job was for her. It was the answer to her prayers. For the last four years, all through college, she'd prayed every night for God to help her with the situation she was in with Putnam. And last night, when she'd seen this ad, she'd known it was the answer to her prayers.
"Sure has your qualifications," Uncle Vern had said when Darci showed him the ad. His face was twisted into the little smirk Darci had come to know too well.
"I'll never understand why your mother let you choose that highfalutin fancy school," Aunt Thelma said yet again. "You coulda gone to a secretarial school so you could
get yourself a real job -- not that you'll need one after the weddin'."
"I..." Darci began, but then she'd trailed off. She'd long ago learned that trying to explain was useless. Instead, she just let Uncle Vern and Aunt Thelma run down; then she went to the converted closet in their apartment that was now her bedroom and read. She liked to read nonfiction because she liked to learn things.
But Uncle Vern had been right: The ad was written with Darci's qualifications in mind.
No computer skills necessary. Must be willing to travel, so no family attachments. Must be young, healthy, interested. Starting salary $100,000 a year, plus medical, dental. Apply in person, 8:00 A.M. 211 West 17 Street, Suite 1A.
"What d'you mean that she's right for this job?" Aunt Thelma had said last night. "It says 'no family attachments.' If it's one thing Darci's got, it's family."
"On her mother's side," Uncle Vern had said, smirking. Aunt Thelma wasn't a fighter as her sister, Darci's mother, was, so she just tightened her lips and picked up the remote control on the TV and switched from the Discovery Channel program that Darci had been watching to QVC. Aunt Thelma knew the life stories of all the presenters on all the shopping channels. She said that the shopping channels made her feel at home even in a place as big and busy as New York. She'd often told Darci in private that she should never have left Putnam, should never have married an ambitious man and moved all the way to Indianapolis ten years ago. And when, three years ago, Vern's boss had asked him to go to New York to supervise a crew of lazy welders, Thelma said she should have refused to go with him. But she had gone and she'd suffered through every minute in the city she detested.
Now, waiting in line, Darci tried not to listen to the angry words that were floating around her. Instead, she closed her eyes and concentrated on the image of her being told that she had this perfect job.
As the day wore on, information trickled down the line. Once they entered the building, they were allowed into a waiting room, and, finally, they were allowed into the interview room. There was a heavy wooden door leading into the interview room, and it became known as "the door." As for what went on inside that room, they heard little, probably because no woman wanted to jeopardize her chance at such a great job.
It was nearly four P.M. when Darci was at last allowed inside the building. There was a woman standing in front of the doorway into the waiting room, and she only allowed into the room exactly as many women as there were chairs. Hours ago everyone in the line had seen that men weren't really being considered for the job. The men would go up the stairs, but they'd go back down just minutes later.
"Told you," a woman near Darci said. "Sex. This is for sex."
"And what do you have that's worth a hundred grand a year?" a woman asked, holding her shoe and rubbing her foot.
"It's not what I have so much as what I can do with it."
"Done with it, more likely," someone else said loudly, and for a moment Darci thought there was going to be a fistfight. There would have been had those words been said in her hometown of Putnam, Kentucky, but she'd learned that Northern women fought with words rather than fists. "Be a lot kinder to punch 'em in the nose," her mother had said after she'd heard a couple of Yankee girls arguing.
"Next!" the woman said sharply as the wooden door opened and out came the young woman who had first spoken to Darci while they were in line. Darci looked up at her in question, but the young woman just shrugged, as though to say that she didn't know if she'd done well in the interview or not.
When Darci stood up, she suddenly felt light-headed. She hadn't eaten since she'd left Uncle Vern's apartment early that morning. "I want you to have a good, solid breakfast," Aunt Thelma had said as she handed Darci a Pop-Tart and a plastic cup full of warm Pepsi. "Fruit's better for you than those cereals your mother gives you. And you need caffeine and sugar and somethin' warm inside you when you go job huntin'," she'd said kindly.
But now, when Darci stood up too quickly, the breakfast seemed a long time ago. She took a couple of deep breaths, put her shoulders back, and, controlling the urge to reach inside her jacket and claw the itchy place on her shoulder, she walked through the open doorway.
One side of the room was lined with windows so dirty she could barely see the building across the street. On the floor under the windows was a messy heap of metal folding chairs, most of them broken.
In the center of the room was a big oak desk, the kind that all used-furniture stores seemed to have an unlimited supply of. A man was sitting behind the desk on one of the metal chairs, and to his left, off to one side, sat a woman. She was in her fifties, dressed in a pretty twinset and a long cotton skirt, and around her neck and on her hands sparkled gold and diamonds. She had a perfectly ordinary face, one that no one would notice in a crowd, except that she had the most intense eyes that Darci had ever seen. Now, as she watched Darci enter the room, those huge brown eyes didn't blink.
But after only one glance at the woman, Darci looked away, because the man behind the desk was the most gorgeous person she'd ever seen in her life. Oh, maybe he wasn't movie-star beautiful, but he was the kind of man that Darci had always liked. For one thing, he was older, at least in his midthirties. "You can't get a father by marryin' one," her mother had said more than once, but that didn't stop Darci from being attracted to men past thirty. "Past thirty and they may as well be past seventy" was her mother's philosophy, but then Jerlene's boyfriends seemed to get younger every year.
"Please have a seat," the man said, and Darci thought he had a lovely voice, deep and rich.
He was a tall man, at least he looked as though he would be tall if he stood up, and he had beautiful black hair, lots of it, with wings of gray above his ears. Like a lion's mane, she thought, staring at the man with her eyes so wide open they were beginning to tear. But she didn't want to blink in case he was a product of her imagination and didn't really exist.
Besides his beautiful hair, he had a strong jaw with a lovely square chin with a little cleft in it (just like Cary Grant, she thought), small flat ears (she always noticed men's ears) and deep-set blue eyes. Unfortunately, they were the eyes of someone who seemed to be carrying the weight of the world. But then, maybe he was just tired from asking so many women so many questions.
"May I see your application?" he asked, holding out his hand to her across the desk.
May I? Darci thought. Not "Can I?" but a proper "may," as in asking permission. With a smile, she handed the paper to him, and he began to read it as she sat down. While she was waiting, Darci tucked her hands under her knees and began to swing her legs as she glanced about the room, but when she looked at the woman to the man's left, she stopped swinging and sat still. There was something about the woman's eyes that were a bit unnerving. "Nice day," Darci said to the woman, but her face gave no indication that she'd heard Darci, even though the woman was staring at her hard.
"You're twenty-three?" the man asked, drawing Darci's attention back to him.
"Yes," she answered.
"And college educated?" At that he looked her up and down, and his eyes said that he didn't believe her. Darci was used to that. She didn't quite understand it, but it often happened that people looked at her machine-washed suit and her fine, flyaway hair and thought that she didn't look like a college girl.
"Mann's Developmental College for Young Ladies," Darci said. "It's a very old school."
"I don't think I've ever heard of it. Where is it?"
"It's anywhere, actually," she said. "It's a correspondence school."
"Ah, I see," the man said, then put down her application. "So tell me about yourself, Darci."
"I'm from Putnam, Kentucky, and I've lived there all my life. I'd never been more than fifty miles out of Putnam until two weeks ago when I came here to New York. I'm staying with my aunt, my mother's sister, and her husband, until I can find a job."
"And what do you want to become when -- " He stopped himself, but she knew he'd been about to say, When you grow up? The smallness of her often made people mistake her for a child. "And what did you study to be?"
"Nothing," Darci said cheerfully. "I studied a little bit of everything. I like to learn about different things." When neither the man nor the woman responded to this, Darci said meekly, "I know nothing about computers."
"That's fine," the man said. "So tell me, Darci, do you have a boyfriend?"
Alarm bells started ringing in Darci's head. Had she given herself away already? Had this beautiful man seen that Darci was attracted to him? Was he thinking that he wasn't going to get a worker but some love-struck girl mooning over him all day?
"Oh, yes," Darci said brightly. "I'm engaged to be married. To Putnam. He's -- "
"The same name as your town?"
"Yes. Putnam owns the town." She tried to laugh in what she hoped was a sophisticated, big-city way. "Although Putnam's not much to own, what there is, belongs to Putnam. Or to his family, anyway. All of them own it, the town, I mean. And the factories, of course."
"Factories? How many factories?"
"Eleven, twelve," she said, then thought. "No, I think there're fifteen of them now. Putnam's father builds them at a prodigious rate."
"'Prodigious,'" the man said, then bent his head down, and Darci wasn't sure, but she thought he smiled a bit. But when he looked back up, his face was once again solemn. "If you're to marry a rich man, then you don't need a job, do you?"
"Oh, but I do!" Darci said fiercely. "You see -- " she began, but then she broke off and caught her lower lip between her teeth. Her mother was constantly warning her not to tell everybody everything there was to know about her. "Leave some mystery," her mother said. If there was ever such a time, Darci was sure that now was the time to leave a bit of mystery. And maybe it wouldn't hurt to add a little "imagination." "Putnam won't inherit for years, so we have to make it on our own. I came here to New York to earn as much as I can so I can return to my beloved home and marry the man I love." She said all this in one breath, while behind her back, the fingers on her right hand were crossed.
For a while the man looked at her hard, and she stared back at him just as hard. As for the woman, she had neither spoken nor even blinked as far as Darci could tell.
"If you're in love with a man, you won't be able to travel. And if you have relatives here in New York, you'd miss them if you were away for weeks at a time."
"No, I wouldn't!" Darci said too quickly. But she didn't want the man to think that she was an ungrateful person, certainly not after all her aunt and uncle had done for her. "They, uh..." she began. "They have their own lives, and as much as I love them, I think they'd do quite well without me. And my mother has...." What could she say? That her mother had a new boyfriend twelve years her junior and she probably wouldn't notice if Darci fell into a hole? "My mother also has her own life. Clubs, charities, that sort of thing." Could Putnam's Spuds and Suds be considered a "club"?
"And your young man?"
She had to think for a moment to know whom he meant. "Oh. Putnam. Well, he has lots of interests, and he, uh....He wants me to have a whole year of -- " She almost said "freedom," which would have been close to the truth. "He wants me to have a year to myself before we begin on our lifelong journey of love together."
Darci thought this last was a rather nice turn of phrase, but she noticed there was a teeny tiny curl of the man's upper lip that made him look as though he were going to be ill. She wasn't sure what she was doing wrong, but she knew that she was blowing this interview. She took a deep breath. "I really do need this job," she said softly. "And I'll work very hard for you." She knew that her voice was pleading, almost begging, but she couldn't help herself.
The man turned to the woman who was sitting slightly behind him. "Do you have what you need?" he asked, and the woman gave a tiny nod. As the man turned back to Darci, he picked up her application and put it on top of a pile of others. "All right, Miss, uh -- "
"Monroe," Darci said. "No relation." When the man looked blank, she said, "To the other one."
"Oh, I see," he said. "The actress." He didn't pretend to think the joke was funny but kept his solemn expression. "As you have seen, we have many applicants, so if we'd like to interview you again, we'll call you. You wrote your telephone number on here?"
"Oh, yes, but don't call between eight and ten. That's when my uncle Vern watches TV, and he...." Her voice trailed off. Slowly, she stood up, then paused as she looked at the man. "I do need this job," she said again.
"So do they all, Miss Monroe," the man said, then looked back at the older woman, and Darci knew that she'd been dismissed.
It took all her willpower to keep her shoulders erect as she left the office and looked into the hopeful eyes of the women sitting in the little waiting room. Like all the others she'd seen leave the office, she shrugged in answer to their silent inquiries. She had no idea how she'd done in the interview. Once she was on the street again, she opened her handbag and checked her wallet. How much food could she get for seventy-five cents? Sometimes the greengrocers would charge her very little for bruised bananas that they couldn't sell.
With her head up, her shoulders back, Darci started walking. Maybe she was going to get the job. Why not? She had all the qualifications, didn't she? They wanted someone who had few skills, and that certainly fit her. The spring returned to her step, and, smiling, she began to walk faster, occupying her mind with planning what she'd say when the man called and told her she had the job. "That's how I'll act: gracious," she said aloud. "Gracious and surprised." Smiling more broadly, she picked up her step. She needed to get home so she could apply her True Persuasion to this problem.
Adam signaled to the woman at the door to hold the applicants for a while. He needed to stretch and to move around. Walking to the windows, he clasped his hands behind his back. "This isn't working," he said to the woman behind him. "We haven't found one woman who's even close to being right. What do I have to do, canvass the elementary schools?"
"The last one was lying," the woman behind him said softly.
Adam turned to look at her. "That one? The little Kentucky hillbilly? Poor thing. That suit she had on looked as though it'd been washed in a creek. And, besides, she has a boyfriend, a rich one. Is that what she was lying about? Those factories she says his family owns? He probably has a twenty-year-old pickup with a gun rack in the back."
"She was lying about everything," the woman said, staring up at Adam.
He started to speak, but he'd learned long ago that Helen used her mind and abhorred normal human ways of communication -- which meant that she hated to talk. Many times she'd said to him, "I told you that." Afterward, he'd racked his brain until he'd finally remembered that she had indeed said one short sentence that had told him everything.
But now Helen had repeated this one sentence, so he knew it was very important. Tired as he was, he nearly leaped across the room to grab the girl's application off the top of the stack and handed it to the woman. Staring into space, she took the paper and ran her hands over it, not reading it, just touching it. After a while, she smiled; then the smile grew broader.
She looked up at Adam. "She's lying about everything there is to lie about," she said happily.
"She doesn't have a boyfriend, no aunt and uncle? Doesn't need the job? Exactly what is she lying about?"
Helen waved her hand in dismissal, as these questions weren't important to her. "She's not what she seems, not what she thinks she is, not what you see her as."
Adam had to work to keep his mouth shut. He hated the convoluted, cryptic talk of clairvoyants. Why couldn't the woman just say what she meant?
Helen, as always, read Adam's thoughts, and, as always, they amused her. What she liked about him was that he wasn't in awe of her abilities. Most people were terrified that clairvoyants could read their innermost secrets, but Adam was trying to find out his own secrets and those of others, so she held no fear for him.
"You want to tell me what you're really saying?" he asked, glaring down at her.
"She's the one."
"That undernourished waif? The Mansfield girl?"
Puzzled, Helen glanced down at the paper. "'Darci T. Monroe,' it says. Not 'Mansfield.'"
"It was a joke," Adam said, knowing he'd not be able to explain. Helen could tell you what your dead grandfather was doing at any given moment, but he doubted if she'd ever watched a TV show or movie in her life.
Taking the application from Helen, he looked at it, trying to recall all that he could about the tiny girl who'd sat before him just minutes ago. Since he'd seen hundreds of women today, they were all blending together in his mind.
Small, delicate, with an air of poverty hanging about her. But, still, she was a pretty little thing, like some tiny bird. A goldfinch, he thought, remembering her blonde hair that hung limply about the shoulders of her cheap suit. She'd had on sandals, no stockings, and he remembered thinking that she had feet the size of a child's.
"I'm not sure -- " he began as he looked up at Helen. But she had "that" look on her face, the one that meant that she was in a semitrance as she looked deep into something. "All right," he said with a sigh, "out with it. What're you seeing?"
"She will help you."
Adam waited for the woman to elaborate, but then he saw the smile play on her lips. Lord help him! It was clairvoyant humor. The woman was foreseeing something that amused her. From his experience this could mean something as good as winning the lottery or something as bad as being stranded in a snowdrift for three days. As long as everyone survived, Helen thought that such miserable experiences were amusing. In fact, any adventure that one survived delighted her. So who needed movies and TV when such things were running through a person's head?
"That's all you're going to say?" Adam asked, his mouth set in a firm line.
"Yes," Helen answered; then she gave one of her rare full smiles. "She's hungry. Feed her and she'll help you."
"Shall I name her Fido?" Adam asked, trying to be nasty, but his tone just made Helen smile more as she stood up.
"It's time for me to go to work," she said, for she spent the darkest hours of every night in a trance looking at the lives and futures of her clients.
For all that she annoyed him, Adam felt a sense of panic as she was about to leave. "Are you sure about her? She can do this? Will she do this?"
Helen paused at the door, and when she looked at him, her face was serious. "The future is to be made. As it stands now, you could fail or succeed at this. I won't be able to see the outcome until you're there with this Mansfield girl and -- "
"Monroe," Adam snapped.
Helen gave a bit of a smile. "Remember. You must not touch her."
"What?!" Adam said, aghast. "Touch her? Do I look desperate? That poor little girl? She probably grew up in a sharecropper's cabin. What was that school she went to? Mann's something or other? Touch her! Really. I'd rather -- "
He stopped talking, because Helen had left the room, closing the door behind her, but her laughter wafted about him. He'd never before heard her laugh.
"I hate clairvoyants!" Adam said when he was alone; then he looked down at the application again. Wonder what the T stands for? he thought, shaking his head in dismay. Today, every time some gorgeous, long-legged beauty from South Dakota or wherever had walked in, Adam's heart had nearly skipped a beat. If she was "the one," then he'd be spending day and night with her, sharing meals, sharing what might become an adventure, sharing....
But, each time, after the beauty had left the room, he'd looked at Helen, and with a mocking expression, for she'd seen every one of his lascivious fantasies, she'd shaken her head no. No, the beauty was not "the one."
But this one! Adam thought. This Darci T. Monroe -- no relation to the other one -- didn't look strong enough to help him accomplish anything. Maybe it was true that she was, well, physically qualified -- he could certainly believe that -- but how could she...?
"Oh, the hell with it," he said, then picked up the phone and called the number she'd written on the application. As the telephone was ringing, he thought, I still have two weeks. Maybe someone else who has the proper qualifications will show up, he told himself as a woman's voice answered.

Contracts for difference for Bitcoin and Litecoin became available in Libertex trading platform to the European traders starting from July 6th, 2017. Now one can stake on either buying or selling of the cryptocurrencies.
Libertex Business Development Manager Andew Nikolaev said: "Nowadays the interest in cryptocurrencies is very high, and the number of people intending to invest money into cryptocurrencies grows in geometric progression. Launch of the contracts for these instruments in Libertex will satisfy the demand from European traders".
On the back of the Bitcoin legalization in Japan, the cost of the mentioned cryptocurrencies increased significantly reaching the record value of USD 2,800. At the same time both the amount of people staking on their surge and the amount of people staking on the crash increased. Contracts for difference for Bitcoin and Litecoin, unlike physical buying of the cryptocurrencies, allow gaining profit not only from the assets appreciation but also from the assets depreciation. It makes the cryptocurrencies very attractive to traders.
The contracts for Bitcoin and Litecoin are available for trading both during business days and at weekends. This is why those people who trade during their spare time are interested in cryptocurrencies.

Fans Are Shocked By Woody's Massive Clothing Budget
Woody Randall and Amani Aliyya quickly emerged as a fan-favorite couple on Lifetime's Married at First Sight Season 11 in New Orleans. The ultra-romantic pair had chemistry right away – and, like the other favorite couple of the season, Bennett Kirschner and Amelia Fatsi, it's only seemed to get better.
On the September 30 episode of Married at First Sight, Amani and Woody shared a romantic one-month anniversary together, complete with foot massages, mimosas, breakfast in bed, and diamond earrings (Woody's gift to Amani). Just four weeks away from Decision Day, it seemed that the sky was the limit in terms of the couple's future.
But Woody and Amani did find one major potential area of contention: their budget. Woody's ideas about finances made many fans' jaws drop in surprise.

Amani and Woody discussed their budget as a couple
On the most recent episode of Married at First Sight, Amani and Woody decided to come up with a budget for themselves as a married couple. Amani explained that it was important for the pair to make and stick to a budget so they could "merge their finances for the future."
But, over the course of the discussion, it became clear that the newlyweds had very different ideas of how their finances should be managed.
Woody suggested, for example, allotting $150 per date – each week, adding up to $600 a month.
But Amani protested, arguing that that was simply too much for a monthly date budget.
"I think we can do some nice dates that don't have to be $150," the Married at First Sight star told her husband uncertainly. She suggested that that they could just grab a few drinks sometimes – it didn't always have to be fine dining.
And while the couple agreed on rent prices of up to $1800 per month, Amani wasn't sure how her husband's transition to his new living situation might go. After all, he'd lived with his grandmother up until now.
"It's an interesting roommate situation," she mused.

The couple disagreed on their approach to money
As for the clothing budget, Amani and Woody's ideas of what constituted a reasonable monthly allotment were polar opposites. Woody suggested that they devote $500-1000 per month to his clothing budget alone.
"For the month?!" Amani exclaimed incredulously. Woody went even further, insisting that $500 per month was the bare minimum and didn't even include shoes.
The Married at First Sight star explained that he didn't view money as something to be managed, per se. In fact, he preferred to spend at will.
Of his "seize the day" approach to budgeting, Woody said, "When I do go shopping, I go on a spree. You work hard for your money, so you want to spend it. I can't die with it, so the sky's the limit. Whatever I want to buy, I'm gonna buy it."
But Amani didn't see things that way. While she wasn't ultra-thrifty or tight-fisted, she wanted to be more responsible and careful with the money they had. The differences in their perspectives on budgeting made Amani a bit concerned about their shared future.
"I understand that we both like nice things," the Married at First Sight star acknowledged. "But between the two of us, Woody definitely spends money more frivolously. So that kind of concerns me, like—how am I gonna work with this person for the rest of my life? I need to know that we can support each other financially."

Some YouTubers thought Woody's budget expectations were unrealistic
Several Married at First Sight YouTubers couldn't believe what they were hearing when it came to Woody and Amani's budget.
In a review of the Married at First Sight episode, comedian Jazmyn W said that Woody's expectations about weekly expensive date nights weren't realistic.
"Married people do not go on dates every weekend, I'm sorry," she pointed out. "We have hobbies, we have separate lives, live together, we have friends."
Jazmyn added that she thought some of Woody's free-spirited, even reckless approach to spending might be due to the fact that he hadn't had to worry about rent while living with his grandma.
"When you live with your grandmother, you can spend $1,000 a month on clothes because you don't have to pay bills!" she argued. "You don't have to pay rent, you don't have to pay a mortgage. Probably cooking for him and paying for his groceries."
The YouTuber also thought diamond earrings were a bit much for a one-month anniversary, suggesting that Woody had a problem with spending sprees in general.
"I'm sorry, diamonds are not a 30-day gift," she said in her review.

Tommy and Artieka of the YouTube channel August Love Story agreed with that assessment. In their review of the Married at First Sight episode, they both pushed back against the idea that anyone would need such a large clothing budget.
"Like, where am I going?" Artieka joked of Woody's commitment to pricey fashion. "My stuff already fits!"
The YouTubers also questioned Woody's ability to pay for all of these high-ticket items with his job as a teacher and coach.
"Isn't he a teacher?" Artieka wondered. "They're paying a lot more money for teachers in Louisiana than I thought they did."

'Married at First Sight' fans were surprised by Woody's spending habits
Many Married at First Sight fans took to Reddit after the latest episode to wonder how on earth Woody could afford such a lavish budget.
Several viewers argued that Woody was "spoiled." Others thought he might go through a rude awakening in terms of finances after moving out of his grandmother's house for good and hitching his wagon to another person – and their financial needs. Particularly because Woody wanted to have children as soon as possible, several Redditors wondered how he planned to budget for a baby.
One Reddit user wondered just how much Woody might be making in his role as an educator to be able to afford his lifestyle. "You need to make a lot of money to spend $1000/month," they wrote.
"I was shocked by the numbers they were throwing out," another Redditor agreed. "They must both be making $80k a year… to be comfortable splashing out $1600/month on extras!"
But others thought Woody might be "all talk" or "exaggerating for the cameras" when it came to his money. Perhaps, they speculated, he didn't feel comfortable sharing his real budget with the Married at First Sight audience.

Poker-tournaments maybe prohibited in Germany!
Rheinland-Pfalz is the first German council, who has prohibited poker-tournaments outside casinos. Ok, gambling was always prohibited in Germany. Let's see if other councils will do it the same way. Allow me the question: What about online-poker?! I think a person will not be addicted to gamble if he or she will appear at a tournament with a little buy-in from time to time! It's everyone's liabilty to estimate his risk about playing poker. Too bad for common-sense players, who maybe now will visit a casion and spend more money and are more leading in in temptation of compulsive gamling.
Fellow players, keep all your senses together!
... with our training sessions. We had another one yesterday and we can see a progress everytime. Uwe, Fabi and Michael H. appeared yesterday and we had a two-on-two match. Old (Michael and me) against the youngsters, but it's not decided yet. Lads, Michael and me will have a victory on you!!!
...yesterday! It was a pretty good training session after a stumbling beginning. There were some other (good) teams at the training ground. I think it's good to learn from them and even better to keep up with.
Our two teams are now on the list for the tournament - have a look at www.albstadt-open.de - two teams who are hard to beat!
In the meantime I will follow the suit of my role model Kenny Dalglish and look for some female players. If you have interest or any suggestions feel free to write in kommentarer.
Honestly it was a poor display of the defense yesterday. I hope it will be better at the Euro championship!
Pretty cool, huh?! If it's possible then it will be yellow on a red shirt.
The Bavarian rock-heroes will play a number of festivals this summer. A highlight is surely the concert at August 14th at the Summer-Breeze, when the boys will play together with Paradise Lost!!! Other concerts in the Swabian area will take place in Ulm at July 4th and in Horb aN at August 23rd.
We'd like to thank Jens for supporting us and giving us the oppoturnity to play under his flag. We are desperate to play a good tournament and having success there!
A few days to go - the Euro starts in early June and the squads has been named so far. Surprisingly, Henrik Larsson is back in the Swedish team and Raul won't fire for Spain this time! Sverige's EM-Truppen stands for experience if you wanna avoid the term "old". Jogi Löw also surprised with the German squad with Adler in and Hildebrand out in Germany's goal. It will be interesting to see how it turns out in the tournament.
All my best wishes goes out to the Anfield lads, who are participating with their national squads (a little bit more wishes with Spain than the Netherlands, ok)!
The weather forecast for this weekend doesn't allow a training, I'm afraid.
We will have a meeting next Monday at "Carlos" for talks about the team, training and our shirts.
Well, the season is over and ended with a victory at White Hart Lane. El Nino netted his 33rd goal and it was a pleasure to watch him this season. The gap to ManU is 11 points. Honestly, there were way to many draws this season and the team didn't claim the big points (defeats versus ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea). They should avoid that in the next season to close the gap and to be in the race for the title. United is too close to LFC's record of 18 titles!
For now I want to thank my mighty Reds for an entertaining season with more heights than lows - the fourth spot (one spot ahead Everton, hehe) and CL-semifinals aren't too bad.
...and me. Boys and girls - we're in it to win it!
It was very funny yesterday - call it a day, go to the restaurant, eat something good and have a couple of drinks - an evening after my fancy!
Kenny Dalglish, who managed LFC between 1985 and 1991, sets the right sight to next season. The current season will end next Sunday at the White Hart Lane with a fourth spot in the League table. This "soap opera" between the LFC heads must come to an end to have a clear focus on the next season. By the way - is this a cool tracktop or what?
It seems that Crouch, Kewell and Carson will be shown the exit door at Anfield, not really bad news though I feel a little bit sorry for Harry Kewell. Lucas and Javier Mascherano are intending to miss the start of next season while they are playing the Olympics. The new stadium is approved but there's no date when the work will begin. Maybe never, but this is not really a problem to me because I like Anfield!
The good news are: Gerrard wants another title with Liverpool and the reserves capped the season with a trophy at the Reserves League final last night.
The most beautiful décolleté in German poker-shows Kerstin Linnartz!
A tremendous CL-season ended on Wednesday with the better end for Chelsea this time. I think the lads couldn't ask for more, apart from the two referees in both legs. I think it is to grant Frank Lampard that he scored from the spot. He has to deal with a difficult situation these days and my opinion is that he deserves to enter the final at Moscow.
My Reds played well this season, apart from the group-phase where they had lots of luck. The matches versus Inter and Arsenal amazed me - great Euro-nights!

Missouri man won't face 3rd trial in 1990 slaying
PUBLISHED: July 15, 2014 at 10:12 p.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 3:37 a.m.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A special prosecutor on Tuesday dismissed a first-degree murder charge against a northwest Missouri man facing a third trial in his neighbor's 1990 death — the latest and likely final legal victory in a nearly quarter-century effort to clear his name.Former Clay County prosecutor Don Norris determined that there was insufficient probable cause in the criminal case against Mark Woodworth, who was 16 when Cathy Robertson was shot and killed in her bed in the rural community of Chillicothe.A succession of court rulings had made it increasingly difficult for prosecutors to build a case with no witnesses, little physical evidence and a questionable motive. Norris acknowledged those hurdles Tuesday in an Associated Press interview."There was no evidence left for me to try the case," said Norris, a former associate circuit judge who also spent six years as Clay County's elected prosecutor.Woodworth, 39, was sentenced to life in prison before his first two convictions were overturned on appeal. He has been free on bail since January 2013, when the Missouri Supreme Court said prosecutors failed to share evidence that could have helped his defense.Defense attorney Bob Ramsey said Woodworth was "elated" when he spoke with his client by phone Tuesday."I could almost feel the 1,000-pound weight lifted off his shoulders," Ramsey said.A spokeswoman for Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster declined comment. A representative of the Robertson family said in a statement that "the criminal justice system has failed all of us who seek justice for our loved ones" and criticized Norris for not interviewing any witnesses, including Cathy Robertson's husband.Cathy Robertson was fatally shot on Nov. 13, 1990, at her home outside Chillicothe, about 90 miles northeast of Kansas City. Her husband, Lyndel Robertson, was a partner of Woodworth's father before a business dispute unraveled the relationship.He was shot that day, but survived and initially identified a suspect other than Woodworth from his hospital bed — his oldest daughter's abusive ex-boyfriend, who insisted he was asleep 90 miles away at the time and was never charged even though forensics tests revealed trace elements of gunpowder on his hands.Robertson later said he was only speculating, though according to court documents, the ex-boyfriend once told a California commodities investor during an argument that "he got away with murder and was not scared to do it again."Norris was appointed in February to replace Livingston County Prosecutor Adam Warren, who asked to be removed after Robertson family members told him they were concerned about his ability to be impartial in part because the killings happened in that county.Now a lawyer in private practice, Norris declared his belief in Woodworth's innocence without prompting."Based upon my review of the evidence, the wrong person was charged in the first place," he said Tuesday.Platte County Circuit Judge Owens Lee Hull Jr. had barred the Missouri Attorney General's Office from trying the case again due to previous prosecutorial missteps, ruling that it required an independent review "by a prosecutor unburdened by past participation."The judge also excluded key ballistics evidence used to convict Woodworth after finding that the suspected murder weapon and a bullet surgically removed from Lyndel Robertson may have been improperly handled by a private investigator. The investigator later teamed up with the Livingston County sheriff's deputy overseeing the investigation — a move the Missouri Supreme Court said led to "serious investigative misconduct."Hull's call for an independent review followed a similar conclusion in 2012 by Boone County Circuit Judge Gary Oxenhandler, who determined that state prosecutors failed to provide Woodworth's attorneys with copies of letters that cast doubt on Woodworth's guilt.The letters, first publicly disclosed by AP in 2009, were between a Livingston County judge, state and local prosecutors and Lyndel Robertson.One written by Doug Roberts, the local prosecutor at the time, described how Robertson "was adamant that we charge another young man." Roberts also said he didn't have solid evidence to charge Woodworth and asked to be removed from the case because of pressure from the judge and Robertson to file charges.The prosecutor at Woodworth's first trial was Kenny Hulshof, who went on to serve six terms in Congress but whose career as a special state prosecutor was marked by court rulings questioning his courtroom behavior. Two men he helped convict for murder have since been released.Woodworth's father, Claude, said his son wasn't immediately available to discuss the dismissal because he was busy mowing the lawn — committed to finishing the day's work despite his newfound freedom."I'm just overwhelmed," Claude Woodworth said. "The sun started shining a little brighter, and the sky got a little bluer."___Follow Alan Scher Zagier on Twitter at http://twitter.com/azagier

Q: PHPMailer is not working at all I'm trying to configure PHPMailer I've uploaded 1 file which is class.phpmailer.php and created another php file with this content:
<?php
require('class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "myemail@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "mypassword";
$mail->SetFrom("the same email address");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("the same email address");
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>

and i get nothing at all not a success message nor a failure message. http://www.mawk3y.net/mailtest/test.php

A: all answers are outdated now. Most current version (as of Feb 2018) does not have autoload anymore, and PHPMailer should be initialized as follows:
<?php

  include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php');
  include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php');
  include_once(FCPATH.'PHPMailer/src/Exception.php');

    $msj="My complete message";
    $mail = new PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer();
    $mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // debugging: 1 = errors and messages, 2 = messages only
    //authentication SMTP enabled
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for Gmail
    $mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    //indico el puerto que usa Gmail 465 or 587
    $mail->Port = 465;
    $mail->Username = "xxxxxx";
    $mail->Password = "xxxx";
    $mail->SetFrom("xxxxxx@xxxxx.com","Name");
    $mail->AddReplyTo("xxx@xxx.com","Name Replay");
    $mail->Subject = "Test";
    $mail->MsgHTML($msj);
    $mail->AddAddress("xxxxxx@xxxxx.com");

 if(!$mail->Send()) {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
 } else {
    echo "Message has been sent";
 }
?>

A: The problem is with the require method.
You first have to extract all file of phpMailer repository.
instead of writing
require('class.phpmailer.php');

you need to include path where your PHPMailerAutoload.php file extracted.so you can replace it with.
require('path-of-extracted-folder/PHPMailerAutoload.php');

for more reference you can visit it's GitHub link
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

A: I had same problem but I solved.This is the way I code
<?php

require 'PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php';

//Create a new PHPMailer instance
$mail = new PHPMailer;
// Set PHPMailer to use the sendmail transport
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';              // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'abc@gmail.com';                 // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'abc';                           // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587;                                    // TCP port to connect to

//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom('abc1@gmail.com', 'First Last');
//Set an alternative reply-to address

//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress('abc@gmail.com', 'Shehan');
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = 'Test Mail';

$mail->Body = 'This is Test Mail';

//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo "Message sent!";
}

?>
