A funding quest is something every business owner goes on – be it one to start a new business or to infuse new capital into an already established business. With so many different funding options available to business owners wanting to raise capital, it is important to identify various sources, be ready with industry research, diligently work towards meeting the criteria, and of course an effective business plan.
When it comes to the real estate business, financing is a really big road block. To start with, you must have basic understanding of the real estate investment and lay your hands on a real estate deal that promises potential equity. Real estate business isn't child's play. Yes, it takes vision to get started, but business wouldn't move without capital. If you are thinking on how to raise capital for real estate, there are points to bear in mind before you get to acquiring finances for your business venture. You will need to have a real feel of the industry, an understanding about what's happening around you and a good idea about your numbers. For starters, do you know what's the ballpark amount you need? Or what is the cost to refurbish property? Got an idea what the fair market value is, great. But do you know the comparative values – let's say, both before and after the rehab? What about the loan to value and holding costs? Do you know if mortgage works anymore? Do you have any idea where the market is going? Ok, fine, let us assume you do have the answers to all those questions at your fingertips – here is the real deal breaking question: Are you really willing to step out of your comfort zone to take a calculated risk? And if your answer is in the affirmative, there is one more question you need to ask yourself – how to raise capital for real estate.
The starting point would be you – your personal funds like savings, stocks, mutual funds, etc. If you got it, you wouldn't have to bother thinking how to raise capital for real estate. Yes, having cash in hand is the most ideal thing, but having ready finances is easier said than done. So what next? Look for private investors like friends and family. No questions asked, trust exercised. It's the next best thing to personal funds.
If you are thinking how to raise capital for real estate through non-private sources, you can get hard cash loans by paying a rate of interest that's variable anywhere between 12 and 22%. If you have ownership of real property, you could easily get refinancing by cashing out the ownership with equity. In case you possess IRA though which investing in real estate is not allowed, you can always turn it on to a company that accepts it and get funds. Another way out when it is about how to raise capital for real estate is non-secure credit like credit cards – an option that most would consider rather adventurous and non-traditions, especially when it comes to real estate investment. However, if you're thinking on how to raise capital for real estate, though it does sound risky – credit cards are a really tempting option, especially with some cards offering the irresistible 0% or a really low APR for short-term. Who could resist that?
With the mortgage market for real estate investment being a bad scene these days, investors need to tap into other sources or be able to get into business. With real estate being a risky business to invest in for investors, bank and loans are out, so private money is the answer you are looking for.
Private investors are those who are interested in making money with their capital through non-traditional markets. These "angels" could be anyone – someone you know, your banker, your attorney, like-minded individuals, or an individuals who for the love of business, seek out new opportunities to invest in return for equity ownership. These people can give you guidance for start-ups, they could improve your ideas and mould your business, but they usually demand high returns for their investments.
But how do you talk to, attract and develop your group of private lenders? Here's how.
A great way to do it would be with private lending group presentations. If you have the gift of the gab, if you are passionate about doing business and if you can locate a few people with an entrepreneurial streak – you've got a private lending group presentation, wherein you talk about your business and lay out the details In the company of around 5 to 20 people. Who knows you might land up raising capital for real estate. If you aren't very comfortable with public speaking, try a one-on-one meeting, wherein you get face-to-face time with an investor, let's say a breakfast meeting at a quiet restaurant. Lay out your business idea, plan of action and sell the prospect. Remember, time is the currency. The more time you get to spend in this meeting, the more possibility of you raising capital for real estate. If your potential prospects are out of town, then sending a creditability kit by mail would be a good idea to begin a conversation. Make sure you follow up if the mail has reached or not. And ensure to do further follow ups to see if there are any questions or if there are any leads from there. And lastly, if you already have a private lender(s), you could check with them if they would be interested in raising capital for real estate. Since you already have a certain level of trust and relationship going on, raising capital for real estate may not be a difficult thing to do after all.

Rest of Lostprophets in 'Shock' After Frontman Arrest
20 December 2012, 12:10 | Updated: 22 October 2013, 17:15
The rest of Lostprophets have issued a statement expressing their shock after frontman Ian Watkins was arrested and charged with child sex offences.
The 35 year old appeared at Cardiff Crown Court yesterday - along with two women aged 20 and 24 - accused of conspiring to rape a one-year-old girl, two incidents of conspiring to engage in sexual touching with two young children; possessing, making and distributing indecent images; and possessing "extreme" animal pornography.
One of the women faces the same charges, the younger woman only five of them. Neither can be named for legal reasons.
The court was told the conspiracy charges related to a period between May 1 and Monday this week, while the indecent images related to a period between August 12 and Monday.
Watkins' barrister Tom Crowther said the singer would be denying the charges.
All three have been remanded in custody until another court appearance on December 31.
Police are asking anyone with any information concerning the investigation to contact the Operation Globe incident room on 0800 056 0154, or the NSPCC on 0800 389 5347.
At the start of this week the band cancelled a tour of Japan and Russia, saying it was due to " an illness in the family."
The band's official website has since been taken down and replaced with a statement from the other four members who have expressed thier surprise and dismay at the news.
"Following charges made today against Ian Watkins, we find ourselves in a state of shock," it reads.
"We are learning about the details of the investigation along with you. It is a difficult time for us and our families, and we want to thank our fans for their support as we seek answers.
"Jamie, Lee, Luke, Mike and Stu"

Any experienced hikers? I'm considering going on an extended backpacking trip this summer for my quest (it's this thing I have to do for English Lit), so I'm going to start hiking smaller mountains first (parts of the Appalachian trail, Mt. Cardigan etc.). I want to hike the Long Trail in Vermont, which is about 272 miles. Does anybody know about how long that would take? My friend Connor thinks it'd take about a month (accounting for pacing, "enjoying the view" and the overall difficulty of the trail).
A friend hiked Key West to Cape Gaspe about 7 years ago.
I think I may have been on or near the long trail a few years ago. When I was in Vermont, my friends decided it would be fun to ride the ski gondola up Mt. Mansfield. I had never been on one, and wasn't sure about it, but went along anyway. I had a panic attack during the ten minute ride to the top, and decided to hike to the bottom, against the better judgment of my friends. It was summer, but the trails are rocky and dangerous, and there are bear and moose. Plus I was wearing designer sandals that weren't meant to be worn for a hike down a 4,500ft mountain.
Long story short, six hours later I made it to the bottom, sans one pair of very expensive shoes. I lost them running from a moose that turned out to be bird moving around in a tree.
Anyway, I know there are several trails that run the mountain (and I think one of them is the long trail), but I don't remember which one I was on. Pretty, pretty scenery.
The north end of the Long Trail is apparently very difficult terrain, particularly as the seasons change. A month doesn't seem like such a far-off estimate anymore (we read the blog of this guy who did it in 26, with a couple of detours).

Heidi Klum retires from Victoria's Secret
German Supermodel Heidi Klum is retiring from being a Victoria's Secret Angel. After 13 years of wearing her lingerie-clad stuff down the catwalk and striking poses in catalogs and magazines for Victoria's Secret, Heidi has decided to hang up her bra and undies and move on. The 37-year-old model said: "All good things have to come to an end, I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It's been an absolute amazing time!"
The happy mother of four has been dealing with a heavy workload lately: in addition to her modeling gigs, she's still hosting Project Runway and has designed an activewear collection for New Balance, set to debut this month on Amazon. The tenth episode of Project Runway, season eight, airs TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT.
Heidi Klum and Seal also are about to shoot a pilot show for U.S. television that gives different couples their dream weddings.

Comedian Greg Giraldo dies
American stand-up comedian Greg Giraldo, familiar to audiences at Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival and host of the TV series Last Comic Standing, has died at age 44 of an apparent overdose. He died Wednesday in a New Jersery hospital days after being hospitalized for an overdose of prescription medication.
Reports are spreading across social media platforms, with Twitter users weighing in. "Very sad to hear the news about Greg Giraldo," MTV Movie Awards host Aziz Ansari tweeted. "One of the most respected comics I can think of. The world has lost a hysterical man. RIP." Host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel tweeted: "Greg Giraldo was a great and funny man". Also, Giraldo's own site was directing people to leave condolences on his Facebook page.
Before becoming a comedian, he worked as a lawyer, having graduated from Harvard Law School. Greg Giraldo spent less than a year as an associate for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom before deciding to change his occupation and his life completely. Despite his prior career, Giraldo rejected that persona and very rarely discussed his days as a lawyer.

Brad Pitt and Zahara visit American Girl Store
Actor Brad Pitt holds hands with his adorable daughter Zahara, after visiting The Grove shopping center on Saturday, September 25 in Los Angeles, CA. Brad, 46, and Zahara, 5, attended a birthday party at the American Girl store for rocker Chris Cornell's daughter Toni, who turned 6.
Then Brad carefully held Zahara's hand as they made their exit while offering up a wave and smile to fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the Hollywood hunk. Pitt ended up having to direct people to move out of the way as he then navigated his white SUV through the crowd en route to the family home in the Hollywood Hills.
In July 2005, Pitt accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia, where she adopted the six-month-old girl Zahara. It was confirmed later, in December 2005, that Pitt was seeking to legally adopt Jolie's two children, Maddox and Zahara. On January 19, 2006, a California judge granted their request to change the children's surnames to "Jolie-Pitt".

Lenny Kravitz wears Women Boots
American singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz showed off his legs in female leather pants tucked into some women's high-heel boots. The 46-year-old Californian artist was photographed crossing the street in New York yesterday, in the Soho area. He also used an across-the-body man bag and tiny hoop earrings. Of course the Internet is laughing at this ensemble and making every "American Woman" joke possible.
He put together a look lots of women would totally want to wear. We might just suggest he swap the pants for thick tights, and the knee-high boots for over-the-knee boots, which are much better suited to working on a street corner.
What do you think? Is this the next fashion trend for men or has he gone too far with his lady high heel boots?

Hugh Jackman picks up daughter Ava
Australian Actor Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness pick up their daughter Ava, 5, from school in NYC's West Village on Thursday, September 23. The 41-year-old Wolverine actor and his wife walked unnoticed by passersby through New York's West Village district.
Hugh recently wrote a letter to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, asking her to make sure the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act is voted on and passed this month. As a father of two, we're sure the health of his kids is always on his mind.
Also, it has been reported that Hugh will use a vegan diet for his upcoming "Wolverine" sequel. He hired vegan nutritionist Brenden Brazier to help him bulk up for the role. Hugh credited the diet for giving him his buff looking physique while filming the first "Wolverine" in 2009, when he added on 20 pounds of muscle.

Halle Berry ready for Cloud Atlas
Actress Halle Berry is busy shooting her new movie, Dark Tide, with her on-and-off-screen lover Olivier Martinez. However, new details emerged about Halle's other movie called "Cloud Atlas". It has been reported that the Wachowski brothers will produce and possibly direct the film. It's inspired by the novel "Cloud Atlas: A Novel", written by British author David Mitchell.
Tom Tykwer (the Director of Run Lola Run) is writing the screenplay. Earlier this year Tom Hanks, Natalie Portman and Halle Berry all signed up to star in Cloud Atlas. James McAvoy still has an offer on the table but Ian McKellen, who was also offered a role, may have to pass as he'll be needed in Middle Earth.
In the cpitures above, you can see Halle Berry at the Batia & Aleeza Beauty & Hair Salon on Thursday, September 23, in Beverly Hills, California.

Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez new American Idol judges
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith leader Steven Tyler are joining the tenth season of American Idol. The reality television show is scheduled to premiere on January 12, 2011 on Fox. The producers just announced the signing of Lopez, (41) and Tyler (61) in Los Angeles. This announcement ended months of speculation over who would join the judging panel.
Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres will not be returning as judges this season. Randy Jackson remains the only original judge since the program debuted on Fox television in 2001. Ryan Seacrest will remain as host.
Also, the producers announced other big changes to get away from what they called the "karaoke" feel of the show when it returns to TV in January 2011 after a four year ratings decline.
Big record producers like "Timbaland" will work with the contestants, but celebrity guest mentors will not be used and contestants must dance more. The moves are a bid to find genuine talented stars like first champion Kelly Clarkson who went on to a Grammy-winning career.

Cambridge Partnership for Education felicitates Ramesh Pokhriyal for NEP 2020
New Delhi [India], November 25 (ANI): Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank was felicitated at an event on Tuesday by Cambridge Partnership for Education, a part of Cambridge University, for the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 launched earlier this year.
Sharing the news on Twitter, Pokhriyal said: "I am honoured that Cambridge Partnership for Education, a part of @Cambridge_Uni, lauded the NEP2020 & felicitated me at an event yesterday. The Policy, as guided by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodiji, will transform the Indian education system."
"NEP2020 brings much-needed changes in the Indian #education system & the world too is recognising us for the same," he said in another tweet.
The education minister also said that Rod Smith, Managing Director of Global Education at Cambridge University Press had spoken highly of the NEP 2020 at the event, and appreciated the history of the Indian education system, while lauding India's efforts for focusing on expanding issues like curriculum, pedagogy and more.
"At a recent event organised by @AuroSociety & @HDFC_Bank that I attended, Mr. Rod Smith, Managing Director, Global Education at @CambridgeUP spoke highly of our New Education Policy," he tweeted.

REVIEW: The Parallels – Keyla Damaer
Genre: Sci-Fi
Reviewer: H.L.
A militia officer on the hunt for a murderer.
A scientist with the key to humanity's future.
A girl locked in a glass tank.
One seeking justice. One seeking fame. One seeking answers. With the galaxy on the brink of war, time is not on their side.
Join them in their battle for survival.
The Parallels by Keyla Damaer follows intertwining character and story arcs set against a sprawling and incredibly complex sci-fi universe. Aliens, different political and social factions, new and dangerous science, a murder mystery, betrayal, clones – this book has it all.
Normally I would write up a recap of the plot and characters – but so much happens in the first couple of chapters alone, that I don't think I could do the full book justice in a mere summary. The plot follows three main characters: Halazar, an alien military officer, who is searching for the person who killed a fellow officer; Lanees, a human scientist; and Eleanor, who has woken up with no memories, and only has a voice in her head to trust.
The action starts from the very first page and rarely relents. You're thrown head-first into the setting, which is sprawling and vast in its worldbuilding. There were times I felt overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information and names and characters being thrown at me, however the detail and depth of the universe is incredible and the setting was vibrant in every page.
The universe is extraordinarily grimdark, but that isn't a bad thing. This book is perfect for people who like their protagonists morally grey and the universe brutal where bad things happen to semi-decent people, and everyone has their own agenda and motives.
The Parallels is the first in a series, and a lot is set up in the book that is no doubt sure to pay off in the subsequent installments. I recommended this for people looking for sci-fi-flavoured Game Of Thrones-esque books.

Q: Http 400 'Bad Request' and win32status 1450 when larger messages are sended to a WCF service we sometimes receive Http 400 bad request resultcodes when posting a large file (10mb) to a WCF service hosted in IIS 6. We can reproduce this using SOAP UI and it seems that it is unpredictable when this happens. In our WCF log the call is not received, so we believe that the request does not reach the ASP.NET nor WCF runtime. This happens on multiple websites on the same machine each having their own application pool. All IIS settings are default, only in ASP.NET and WCF we allow bigger readerQuota's etc....
The win32status that is logged in the IIS log is 1450 which we think means "error no system resources".
So now the question:
a) how can we solve this
b) (when a is not applicable :) ) which performance counters or logs are usefull to learn more about this problem?
greetings,
Tim

A: check this articles KB810957 which explains the cause of the issue and UploadReadAheadSize is the solution for the same.
Let me know if that helps.

Vodka Then and Now
by Sara Waxman
Sara Waxman
Sara Waxman is an award-winning restaurant critic, best-selling cookbook author,…
Care for some Colour with that Black and White Room?
Let's give credit where credit is due. Raise a glass and make a toast to Poland and its gift to the world… With vodka of course.
Vodka has taken a circuitous route around the globe since the Middle Ages, traveling first class as well as steerage to become one of the world's best selling spirits. From humble beginnings in the region of Poland/Lithuania (now Belarus) it was distilled and quaffed in vast quantities by peasants and nobility alike.
It was a simple process. Anyone could do it, and many a farmer who planted rye, wheat, potatoes or sugar beets distilled his own vodka. In 1580 in the city of Poznan there were 498 working distilleries. Too good for the hoi polloi. The nobility was granted a monopoly by the government to produce and sell Vodka.

Tsar Alexander III of Russia got involved in 1894, and assigned Dmitri Mendeleev to create and establish quality standards: the ideal alcohol content was 38%. Looking at the Vodka bottles in my cabinet, the range is from 40% to 50%. Stolichnaya Elit from Russia is one of the most expensive, no doubt because of a new freezing filtration system.
In The Vodka Belt, Eastern Europe and Nordic countries, they drink it neat. In North America we like cocktails: Bloody Mary, Screwdriver, White Russian, and of course, the Vodka Martini. When James Bond switched from Gin to Smirnoff, ( a brilliant film product placement) vodka sales lurched upward. The movie Sex and the City featured the Cosmo… and the rest is history.
Is there a country in the Western world that does not have it's own brand of vodka?
Wyborowa Exquisite follows production methods that have been perfected over 500 years. It's produced in Poznan from a single variety of premium rye. Purified many times it is then bottled in beauty. The bottle design by renowned architect Frank Gehry, conveys a fusion of Polish heritage and contemporary sophistication.
Zubrowka, which contains a decorative blade of Buffalo grass, is flavored with a tincture of buffalo grass found only in a forest in Poland and Belarus. Unique in its yellowish color and flavor, it has been copied by many countries, but remains registered in Bialystok, Poland.
Grey Goose Vodka, distilled and bottled in the Cognac region by Francois, the man who has been making cognac for 25 years, is among the world's most popular. Made of soft winter wheat from Picardy, when ground, the aroma is like a French bakery. Still, creative people must create: ergo, Grey Goose Citron, Poire, and L'Orange. Dimitri Lozinska, Grey Goose Ambassador, Cocktail Curator and mixologist extraordinaire says, "100% natural, no additives, the orange and lemon are all made from the natural essential oils of the fruit, and the pear is made of the pear itself."
Absolut Vodka from Sweden has covered the entire flavour spectrum of fruits from Kurant to Raspberry to Mandarin and is probably the best known in the world. When flavoured vodka began to dilute their image, they reverted back to promoting the original brand.
The Revolutionary Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg
Vodka is broadening its horizons with a host of new brands and blends.
Akvinta, the first Mediterranean luxury vodka to hit our shores has been filtered through five natural filters: charcoal, marble, silver, gold and platinum. Getting on the bandwagon, Donald Trump created a namesake vodka distilled in the Netherlands and packaged Trump Vodka in a tall, gold bottle. Not a big seller, it was discontinued in 2011. Villa de Varda, an Italian distiller has introduced Pinot Grigio flavored Vodka Italiano. Tito's Handmade Vodka hails from Austin Texas, and is filtered through active charcoal and reasonably priced.
Pinky was created in Sweden about ten years ago and immediately became the 2nd best selling vodka at Duty Free Shops. Vodka infused with strawberry and violet, it is aimed at women and co-branded with Agent Provocateur, a line of lingerie hard to find in conservative Ontario. Crystal Head Vodka, the brainchild of actor Dan Ackroyd, which was originally banned at the LCBO in Ontario for some time, is now stocked on the shelves. Proper Ontarians had initially felt that the image of a human skull, commonly associated with death, was an unpalatable concept at the retail level. The purists stay with the classic vodka made according to the formula of Tsar Alexander III. Russian Standard Vodka is the most widely drunk vodka in all of Russia.

My Dad believed that one oz of vodka every day helped blood circulation. He would down a shot, neat, and smile, "It makes weak men strong and strong women weak."

India officially Takes Over G-20 Presidency
HY News 02 December, 2022 11:38 am IST
India officially takes over the G20 presidency on Thursday. On the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for a "shift in fundamental mindset to benefit humanity as a whole."
India began its G20 presidency with a focus on counter-terrorism and "unity" in tackling global challenges, such as economic slowdown and climate crisis.
India's year-long G20 presidency will be "inclusive, ambitious, decisive, and action-oriented", PM Modi said, adding that it will encourage an honest conversation on mitigating risks posed by weapons of mass destruction and enhancing global security.
The government also seeks to build consensus on debt sustainability and creating disaster and climate-resilient infrastructure. India's G20 plans also include a special focus on startups and bridging the digital divide.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that India will try to build consensus on global issues including Ukraine during its G20 Presidency. The Minister said, India's endeavour will be to create consensus through consultation on key global issues. India yesterday formally assumed the Presidency of G20 grouping for a period of one year. To mark the first day of India's presidency, a special event titled 'G20 University Connect - Engaging Young Minds' was organised in New Delhi, which virtually brought together students from 75 universities across the country.
India will host as many as 200 meetings across the country over the next one year, with the first one being held in Udaipur later this week. The G20 Summit will be organised in New Delhi in September 2023.

Norway Cup bigger than ever
Around 32,000 young football players from all over the world are in Oslo this week for the annual Norway Cup, which makes it the biggest on record as the tournament celebrates its 40th anniversary. It's sparked some unwelcome headlines recently over the exclusion of one girls' team from Kenya, but more than 1,600 others are kicking off 4,200 matches between now and Saturday.
Dark clouds have threatened the annual Norway Cup football tournament, but play got underway on Sunday during a period of sunshine that continued on Monday. PHOTO: Norway Cup/Facebook
Fully 56 nations are represented at this year's Norway Cup, billed as the biggest youth football tournament in the world. The players aged 10 to 19 are housed in 35 schools and 11 hotels around Oslo, with 70 professional observers monitoring fair play and 400 referees judging the matches that are played on 71 fields around the capital.
The tournament represents an enormous effort on the part of organizers and supporters, volunteers and business sponsors and foreign aid sources that help finance travel and participation for the young players, who themselves have worked hard to qualify for tournament teams. The vast majority of them enjoy a week of fellowship, football and cultural exchange, but also can gain insight into the harsh world of international politics.
On Monday, for example, Norwegian media reported how the flying of the Kurdish flag by supporters for a team from Kurdistan sparked some controversy. Frode Kyvåg, head of the organization mounting the tournament year after year, told newspaper Aftenposten that the flag issue was a matter of debate.
"Kurdistan isn't a recognized state," Kyvåg conceded. "We have therefore asked for a written evaluation from the Foreign Ministry and will follow their recommendation (on whether the flag will be allowed)."
The players themselves just want to have fun and play football, like here at an opening match between Norwegian teams from Oppsal and Kragerø. PHOTO: Norway Cup/Facebook
Another thorny issue is the absence of a girls' team from the Mathare slum in Nairobi that had taken part in Norway Cup since 1990s. Their absence follows charges of corruption among team managers and, not least, statements from several of the girls themselves that they were subject to sexual assault. Some have said they were raped or otherwise threatened and abused as part of the selection process for Norway Cup.
"My coach raped me before the team that would go to Norway was chosen," one girl told newspaper Fædrelandsvennen. Such abuse occurring several years ago and its aftermath have led to a major conflict between the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA), those supporting it and officials of Norway Cup. The girls claim they didn't receive support themselves after the sexual abuse and police reports were not filed. MYSA officials claim they have offered support to victims they recognized, and saw to it that the coaches and club officials involved were fired.
MYSA nonetheless has lost financial support from development foundation Strømmestiftelsen, which in turn has upset Kyvåg of Norway Cup. He claims MYSA has done a lot to help poverty-stricken youth in Nairobi, and hopes Norwegian foreign aid officials will probe the foundation's role itself and help restore support for MYSA.
There are more positive stories coming out of Norway Cup this year, including the participation of the first girls' team from Iraq that was proudly announced by Iraq's ambassador to Norway, Sundus Omar Ali Albayraqdar, along with the participation of a Palestinian girls' team. Norway Cup 2012 is also welcoming teams from Botswana, El Salvador, Congo, Sri Lanka and the Czech Republic for the first time. Many of the teams get financial aid to travel to Norway from Norwegian aid sources.
Meanwhile, the tournament itself seemed threatened most by unstable weather systems and the heavy rain that has poured down on Oslo and much of the rest of the country for most of the summer. The sun came out on opening day on Sunday, though, and was shining again on Monday.

Romain Grosjean made peace with belief he would die in Bahrain crash
Romain Grosjean has delivered a powerful and moving account of his accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix, admitting that in the heat of the inferno that engulfed him he had made peace with the belief that he was going to die. "I had both hands in the fire at that time," he said. Grosjean's escape was one of the most remarkable in modern F1 history. George Russell made a stunning opening to his first drive in a competitive Formula One car, going quickest in first practice for the Sakhir Grand Prix. The British driver is standing in for Lewis Hamilton in Bahrain driving a Mercedes for the first time. The Williams is among the slowest cars on the grid and a handful to drive. "The story would be beautiful but if I don't [make Abu Dhabi] I will call every F1 team and see if they will give me a private test in January and have 10-15 laps in the car just for me," he said.

Now, imagine if you got a chance to correct a simple mistake that could change 1,000s of lives in a single second.
That's exactly what 11 principals from around the state of Illinois will have in the palms of their hands on Monday morning.
Here is the starting lineup for the soon-to-be-famous 11 that make up the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) Board of Directors – Tim McConnell (President, Erie); Katy Hasson (Vice President, Rockridge); Robert Nolting (Secretary, Andrew); Scott Adreon (Treasurer, Dunlap); Jon Baffico (Saint Patrick); Tim Moore (Bloomington); Todd Roger (Carterville); Dr. Joyce Kenner (Young); Kurt Tenopir (Fremd); Amy McMahan (PORTA); and Dan Tully (Notre Dame).
How ironic that there are 11 people on this soon-to-be-famous board, the same number of starters for every single high school boys soccer team in the IHSA state series competition.
This past Friday, the IHSA put its "strike policy" into place for Chicago Public Schools, thus impacting nearly 100 high schools and 1,000s of Class 2A and 3A boys soccer players.
On Monday, these soon-to-be-famous 11 will get together via conference call to read and vote on an appeal (CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE APPEAL), which was submitted by Washington High School and Alcott College Prep on behalf of all Class 2A and 3A CPS boys soccer teams scheduled to play on or after Tuesday of this week.
Multiple lawyers and school administrators (superintendents, principals and athletic directors), who reviewed the appeal brief prior to it being submitted on Sunday night, stated that it's very clear the nearly 100 CPS boys soccer teams should be reinstated in the prescheduled state series competition on or after Tuesday of this week.
Every adult and person with a clue will tell you that a teacher's strike should not impact student athletes playing a game. Why there is even a strike policy makes one wonder if it was school administrators or teacher's unions that lobbied for this rule decades ago to put kids and the community in the middle to pressure the other side.
Think about the politics behind closed doors.
Oh, the world we live in.
But let's get back to the facts, and this is exactly what the soon-to-be-famous 11 will be focusing on in the appeal brief.
It won't come down to emotion, but it will come down to one single word: "Competition."
The appeal states that there is clear evidence that "competition" in the Class 2A and 3A boys soccer state series "competition" started on Oct. 1 during the IHSA-organized seeding "competition" event, resulting in first, second, third, fourth, etc. finishes.
In Indiana, for example, seeds are predetermined by geography. They do not have a seeding "competition" event for their state series "competition," where teams would use skill of the sport to earn a record that would then be required – as the IHSA does – to use at the seeding "competition" event.
Under the IHSA boys soccer terms and conditions, it notes to withdraw from the state series "competition" without penalty, a principal or athletic director must notify the IHSA office in writing of the school's withdraw prior to the seeding "competition" event.
The IHSA, like all high school associations throughout the U.S., has its own definition for pretty much every word in its by-laws. Who knows, my name might be under a special keyword in an IHSA definition book after all these years.
But here's the key: The IHSA has a definition for "competition" and a definition for a "game."
Nowhere in the definition of the "strike policy" is the word "game" mentioned. If the IHSA wanted the "strike policy" to center around a "game," it would have used the word "game" – as defined in its definitions – opposed to using the word "competition."
"Competition" is mentioned three separate times in the "strike policy" rule, and the word "game" is not mentioned once.
The CPS strike began on Oct. 17, which means this portion of the IHSA "strike policy" should have been applied: "If any school subsequently incurs a strike (after the first competition), the qualified teams and/or students will be permitted to continue participating in the state series competition, so far as the IHSA strike policy is concerned, even though their school may not be in legal session on the dates of subsequent state series competition in that sport."
Adults – especially educators – tell kids all the time: "Words have meanings."
And in this case, "competition" was used in the "strike policy," not games.
That falls on the IHSA, not on the backs of nearly 100 Class 2A and 3A CPS boys soccer teams.
So now the soon-to-be-famous 11 may think, "Who will coach the reinstated teams if the CPS teachers are still on strike?"
Like the suburbs, there are a number of non-teachers coaching high school soccer within CPS. Not only that, but I have spoken to a number of teachers, who are coaches, that have said they will support their teams and coach them in the state series competition, which resumes on Tuesday.
CPS schools are open. Administrators are working. Many of the administrators are former coaches.
This isn't hard folks, let's not make it hard.
It's time for me to end this column for the soon-to-be-famous 11 to become heroes for 1,000s of student athletes and their families.

'Land Logic'
When I turned 18, one of the birthday presents I got was a book-length poem called "The Donner Party." I sold the book during a no-income period in my mid-20s, but as soon as I had some cash I went back to the used-book store that had taken it off my hands. It was still on the shelves, along with another book I'd sold, a picture biography of Yeats. I bought them back, though I was unable to find a third book I'd parted with–"Twenty Years A-Growing," by Maurice O'Sullivan, which my Uncle Dick had given me. I found a copy of that eventually, but not mine. I still look for it.
Back to "The Donner Party," which is right here beside me. It's a retelling of a story of which everyone knows the shorthand version: pioneers, wagons, mountains, snow, death, cannibals. The book's by a California poet named George Keithley, who taught (maybe still teaches) up at Chico State. The poetry is mostly blank-verse. It feels plain and authentic and sounds like it was transcribed by firelight.
Here's one passage that has always stayed with me from a chapter called "Land Logic." It takes place after the party's disastrous crossing of Utah, with all of Nevada to cross before the ascent of the Sierra Nevada and hoped-for arrival in California's Sacramento Valley
We wanted only to rest, at this juncture.
Seeing the snows, no one wished to look back
on our bad luck or talk of it anymore.
Reflection only led us to deplore
the sudden end of summer and lament
the time we wasted in this trap. Whole days
spent unloading. Stupid disputes. Delays
caused by the cattle roaming or Hastings' wrong
advice … We were warned that to survive
we must lay up grass and water for a dry drive
of two days. Which means at worst we might
travel a day and a night—where we instead
wandered a week in the desert and left dead
a third of our herd of cattle. Add a third
of the wagons abandoned, still it doesn't explain
all the destruction done. We could never regain
the time taken, or our goods or livestock left
on the salt. But this was not the only cost.
There is a land logic which we lost …
A sense of the likelihood of new terrain
to sustain us. The same logic that lives
in our blood, telling us that bottomland gives
promise for planting. Or for example
the simple certainty that we would find
spring water among rocks when the sun reclined
on green slopes gleaming like good pasture.
But we hurried out only to discover
a prickly patch of greasewood growing over
the dry soil, white with alkali…
Nothing in nature was what it might seem!
The promise of finding forage by a stream
proved false as well—both banks were bare
although the current there cut swift and deep.
We lost the last advantage which could keep
our company from harm. It was this sense
of the land that had departed in a dream
while we went on like souls that are still asleep.
Road Kill and Us
My brother John's comment about the previous post–about the picture of the dead fawn–reminded me of a book by Barry Lopez. It's titled not "Requiem," as I remembered it, but "Apologia." Here's the opening:
A few miles east of home in the Cascades I slow down and pull over for two raccoons, sprawled still as stones in the road. I carry them to the side and lay them in sun-shot, windblown grass in the barrow pit. In eastern Oregon, along U.S. 20, black-tailed jackrabbits lie like welts of sod–three, four, then a fifth. By the bridge over Jordan Creek, just shy of the Idaho border in the drainage of the Owyhee River, a crumpled adolescent porcupine leers up almost maniacally over its blood-flecked teeth. I carry each one away from the tarmac into a cover of grass or brush out of decency, I think. And worry. Who are these animals, their lights gone out? What journeys have fallen apart here?
Berkeley Wildlife: Street Deer
I've mentioned several times in the last couple of years–here and here, for instance–that it has become pretty commonplace to encounter deer here in the Berkeley flatlands (and in the hills, some deer are getting ornery.) Still, today's experience broke new ground. First, during a noontime walk, The Dog startled a good-sized young adult deer–I'm guessing it was a male–that had been browsing the plants along a driveway adjacent to a vacant lot or overgrown backyard on Monterey Street. The deer bolted into the trees and watched us. Then a woman pulled into the driveway. She said she wasn't surprised we had happened upon the deer. "There's a family of three living in there," she said. "The poor things are just running out of room." She also mentioned that a dead deer was lying on the street nearby. Hit by a car? I asked. "No–it must have been sick. It doesn't look like it was injured." She added that someone had called Berkeley Animal Control.
Her description didn't prepare me for the fawn that lay along the sidewalk two doors down. A beautiful animal. Surprisingly, The Dog wasn't interested. I took a few pictures, and we continued on our walk. When we get home, I called animal control myself. When someone came on the line, I told them I wanted to report a dead deer on a street in North Berkeley. "Would that be the one on … Monterey?" the attendant asked. "Yeah, that's the one." "We already know about that," she said. "Any ETA for when you might be out there?" "No. We have one officer in the field, and emergency calls come first. So …."
I wonder how long it will take word to spread in the carrion-eating community of the choice meal awaiting out there.
Never Fear
On Eighth Street, between Bryant and Brannon. This is the base of the massive supports that carry U.S. 101 at its junction with the beginning/end of Interstate 80. I like the serial messages.
Digital Existence, Bane of
I'm still using an iBook G4 laptop I bought six years ago. I'll knock on wood and note also that it's not as impressive as it seems. I had a hard drive die when the computer was in its third year, and I'm running on a refurbished one that Apple installed "free"–I had bought the long-term service plan. Although I got a functional computer out of the deal, I hadn't backed up the big library of pictures on the original drive. That included a bunch of nice shots from a trip down to Southern Illinois my dad and I took in 2004.
Being a bottom-of-the-line machine from ancient times, the iBook doesn't have a huge hard drive. It's got about 25 gigabytes of total storage. I now back things up on a 200-gigabyte drive I bought after the Mac died. But here's the thing about the pictures I download: I always want to sort through them and post some online and maybe someday do something ambitious such as actually make photo albums for relatives or friends. So I tend to keep them on the laptop than dump them on to the external drive (from which I have to transfer them to edit them). Of course, those projects, big and small, tend to get put off. So my laptop drive still gets eaten up, and I have accumulated a big pile of pictures I think about but do nothing with. Such as the ones here.
They're nearly a year old. I took them during a drive Kate, my dad, and my brother John made to Lake Pymatuning, on the Ohio-Pennsylvania state line during our visit to Lake Erie last August. More specifically, these are pictures of carp that congregate at a spillway between the eastern and western sections of the lake. Why do they congregate there. Because the nice people who stop to see the sights throw them food; a nearby concession stand sells loaves of bread for tourists to throw, slice by slice, into the roiling mass of eager fish. I have about 20 pictures of the scene I took and another couple of dozen from my brother. I would say we documented the scene well. The question remains, do the carp go on to a less hellish-looking existence after the people leave for the day
Maybe now, having posted this, I can store the pictures on some other drive and move on to the next scene from last summer's travels. After that, I might get to the pile of images still left to sort through from our 2008 trip to Japan. It could happen.

Oh snap! Peep my new Video!
Posted on June 18, 2010 by Blockhead
So, After a bunch of months of works, fantastic artist Anthony Schepperd made a video for my song "The Music Scene" off my newest album of the same name. Seriously, this shit is awesome and it's , without a doubt, the coolest thing anyone has ever put my music too. I don't do acid, but i imagine this being pretty much being the best thing ever to watch if you do.
Peep it!

Holy shit, you weren't kidding when you said that was trippy! Massive Congrats on this!
Out of curiousity, when someone makes a video for one of your songs, does it make you feel different or draw different emotions than the ones you originally had when making the song? I've always felt that way about giving rappers my beats and hearing the vibe of the song change, but I've never had the luxury of getting a music video made.
Blockhead on June 18, 2010 at 12:12 pm said:
Not always. This video definitely did. This is the first video someone has made for me that really expanded on the song on a crazy level.
also, I feel the same way as you about rappers using my beats.

Congrats man, its a thing of beauty.
I see your the same age as me Tony… dropping acid at this age is something you might not get over… for better or worse.
Although "Psychedelic Hip Hop Downtempo DJ/Producer Blogger Comic Genius" kinda just rolls off the tongue.
Blockhead on June 19, 2010 at 11:52 am said:
Oh, I'm not really gonna drop acid. I never have actually. Chemicals scare the shit out of me.
Nathan on June 19, 2010 at 11:56 am said:
Just got The Music Scene last month (loving it) and that video totally changed how I will listen to that song.
By the way, I meant to tell you, the way I heard about you was through this thing at my school:
My professor brought in an artist who would paint while listening to lyricless music. My prof picked "You've got Maelstrom" and the guy did an amazing piece of a giant robot taking over a city.
He's got a website, check him out:

I just realized something Block. This video looks a lot like Sun Ra's video for Pink Elephants(albeit this one is a bit more out there, that's for sure). Do you happen to like Sun Ra?
Blockhead on June 26, 2010 at 3:07 pm said:
I have an appreciation for sun ra but i could never listen to his shit. Free jazz is kind of the worst.

Ann Smith stands next to her house. She has not moved her things in yet. But she is already is planning on having people come over to celebrate with her. Next spring she hopes to plant some flowers. She may even plant a few vegetables. For her whole life, Ann has rented a place to live. She has not been able to buy a house. She did not have the money or the knowledge. But one organization helped her with both of these. And the smile on her face shows that the help was not wasted.
Today's Spotlight is on the Inner City Christian Federation, or ICCF. ICCF works in Grand Rapids, in the United States, to help get people a place to live. They do this because they believe God cares about the place a person lives. But ICCF also believes that a home is more than walls, doors, and windows. This is why ICCF rebuilds simple, yet beautiful homes. They believe everyone deserves a beautiful home.
The Inner City Christian Federation began in 1974. It started because someone gave a house to a church in Grand Rapids. People from the church worked together to fix the house. Then they gave the house to a family who needed a place to live. This was such a good experience that they wanted to keep fixing houses. At first, ICCF only connected people with houses. But the new home owners showed ICCF that they needed more help. They needed to know how to take care of their homes. So in 1985 ICCF employed a person that would teach people about the work of owning a home.
In 1990 ICCF opened an emergency housing building. It was called Fair Haven. Fair Haven was the first step to getting people into a home of their own. A few years later, ICCF was able to purchase some homes to rent. Now the organization is able to help people with different housing needs. ICCF can help someone who is living on the street, or renting, or having trouble paying for their home.
"ICCF believes all persons are created in God's image. They exist in the light of his love. In response, each resident, staff member, director and all whom we serve will be treated with respect."
ICCF does not just work FOR people. They work WITH people. ICCF works with people for a long time. People who use the programs are expected to work hard. They are part of the process. They are part of the solution.
"We believe education is the base for strong communities. Education is what prepares families for owning a home. Then they are ready for what is to come. We do not want families to be out of control because they own a home. We want it to be exciting! Education helps create strong homeowners and a strong community."
Remember Ann Smith from the beginning of the program?


TheBlueGuerilla: McKenzie Elected YI Deputy Chairman.
The results are in and, as TBG predicted last week, Jamie McKenzie has come up trumps in the YI deputy leader election.
In his first post-election statement, Jamie said he wants to ensure elections and referendums are "not just fought at the ballot box and on the doorsteps, but in a range of grassroots interactions and groups." With YI often riddled with splits within its own ranks, any real attempt to impact the EU out campaign will mean not only learning to work with members of other parties, but with each other too.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Kieran Warren as Media Manager, and Matt Mackinnon as Events Officer.
The final results were not released, but this blog is trying to get hold of the numbers.

Better Watch Out Film Review
Ashley (Olivia DeJonge) and Luke (Levi Miller) desperately hide from the home invaders
Ashley is 17 and is about to move to Pittsburgh after Christmas. However, before the Holidays she is babysitting for Luke Lerner, who has a crush on Ashley, for one last time. What would have been a simple babysitting job quickly spirals down into a chaotic, murderous mess as there appears to be a home invasion by a gang of burglars.
Better Watch Out is going to be a hard film to talk about. Mainly because of its twist. I went into this film with very little prior knowledge to what the film was about. I knew that it was a home invasion horror comedy with elements of Home Alone thrown in for good measure, but I had not idea about the true plot of the film. I can see that it is revealed in marketing and other reviews, but for those who don't know the twist, I will avoid it because I feel that it makes the film all the more entertaining.
Garrett (Ed Oxenbould) finds out how accurate Home Alone is
Right from the font that it uses in the open credits, it is reminiscent of Silent Night (another Christmas slasher movie). With references like that, as well as the previously mentioned Home Alone, which settles a hotly debated issue once and for all, Better Watch Out knits itself so entirely into the iconography of Christmas films and Christmas horror films that this might become a new classic. It has a delightfully hateful villain and a plot that steadily ramps up as the situation begins to get more out of hand and crazy. It is this plot that makes the film incredibly interesting, as the increasing violence forces some great character conflict and there are some really great moments from our main players just bouncing off of each other. For instance, the most iconic image of the film will probably be the paint can scene, while the final mad dash at the end is slightly reminiscent of the end race to Ferris Buller's Day Off.
Hey that looks like a nice Christmas card, wait is that a Knife?
What is truly impressive is that at the center of the madness are a small cast of charismatic leads, all under the age of 20. Olivia DeJonge, best known for her role in M.Night Shyamalan's the Visit, is a perfect lead, a real person you will to survive the night. Similarly, Levi Miller, who played Peter Pan in 2015's Pan, despite his young age draws on something that makes him a star to look out for. These two leads are backed up by a solid third performance from another Visit star, Ed Oxenbould, as the sort of comic relief and the "sort-of" bad influence Garret.
Are they trying to peak on their presents or are they trying to avoid burglars trying to kill them?
Now it's not perfect: the comedy may fall flat for some people, and it's not likely to scare any hard-core horror fans. That is the problem with blending these two opposing genres, there is going to be some sacrifice and compromise if you aren't on top of your game. Despite this though, it is still a solid attempt to blend the horror comedy with enough chuckles and jumps to keep the average cinema goer entertained. Many critics have said that there may be a hint of spit in the film. This may depend on your torrelance for violence involving children. However, due to the performances and colour pallet, Better Watch Out seems to be a fun ride and the actors are clearly having a blast as well. One of the slightly smaller twists is also easy to spot, though that might be on purpose to distract.
Ashley is captured and wrapped up in Christmas lights
But despite these issues, Better Watch Out joins the ranks of fun twisted tales that can serve as an antidote of sorts to the more traditional Christmas film, thanks to a great premise and twist and some fantastic performances from our young leads. So if you're looking for something bitter to offset the sweet, then Better Watch Out has it.
You can watch Better Watch Out in cinema's now

Q: Getting all documentIDs from a collection in Cloud Firestore with javascript web API Is there any way to get all document IDs in one shot (as a single read) from a collection (or subcollection) with Cloud Firestore javascript web library? I don't want to read their content, I only need the id-s. As far as I could monitor in Chrome var docs = (await firebase.firestore().collection("collection-path").get()).docs.map(x => x.id) will retrieve the content inclusive. As I am talking about a large collection it takes quite a while, and this is not an option even if it would count a single read operation.

A: There is no such API in the provided client libraries.  You have to query for all the documents and read them, even if you just want their IDs.


Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) produced ATSC 2.0 standard, which has been used for a HD/SD digital broadcasting service with MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) as a delivery protocol. Recently, users might want to consume multimedia services without being constrained by transport network. However, MPEG-2 TS is not suitable protocol for IP network. Thus, ATSC has enacted ATSC 3.0 standard, which is designed for a hybrid service through a conversion of both broadcasting and broadband channels. The ATSC 3.0 specifies delivery protocols as MPEG Media Transport (MMT) for a broadcasting environment and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) for a broadband. However, it seems difficult to combine broadcast and broadband for hybrid broadcasting, and it is difficult to synchronize media data between MMT and DASH. This paper suggests various new service scenarios to be brought up by a hybrid broadcasting, ATSC 3.0, and also proposes a stable mechanism for switching contents between different delivery protocols such as MMT and DASH.


Do you know a preteen girl who would be encouraged by a devotional designed just for her age group? I'd love to send her a copy of either Desiger Genes or Truth & Dare.
Leave a comment here before midnight June 30 and I'll enter your name in a draw to receive a free copy of either book. All you have to do is state which book you'd prefer to win (click on the "Books" tab above to learn about each book) and tell me the first name of the girl you'd like to give the book to.
I'll pick the winning name on July 1, which is Canada Day up here in the Great White North! 😀 Then I'll contact the winner to get the appropriate mailing address. Before sending out the book, I'll inscribe a personal message to the girl who will receive the devotional.
If you post a link to this contest on your blog (and come back here to let me know and share a link to that blog post), I'll enter your name a second time and, if you win, I'll throw in a bonus Canada Day fun surprise with the book.
Woohoo! Can't wait to hear from you all!
