This is a Delta 07-207 6″ Jointer. It's the jointer side of a Delta Table Saw/ Jointer Combo marketed towards enthusiast home woodworkers in the 1940s.
I purchased this machine on October 8th, 2017 along with the accompanying Table Saw (to complete the combo unit) from a local makerspace in Broomfield, CO called The Gizmo Dojo. The Gizmo Dojo received the machine as a donation, the previous owner's information was not made available to me. They intended to restore it as well before finding another table saw that was better suited to their space.
This jointer was in pretty unfortunate condition when I purchased it. Thick rust covered any surface that was not painted, a lot of dirt and ancient sawdust was packed into the harder to clean nooks and crannies, and no motor was included. Fortunately, the spindle did run true and all of the mechanisms appeared to work well despite their rusty condition. The bearings were completely shot and the pulley was broken.
Typical restoration for the most part. Take everything apart. Remove rust and paint from everything. Paint everything. Reassemble and lubricate.
The only difference was in the threaded piece that attaches the fence to the main body. I was unable to remove the nut from that part without damaging the threads on the shaft. Luckily I had just picked up a Logan 210 metal lathe. I was able to recreate that part out of a blank of tool steel I purchased online.
After assembly I had to build a tool stand to hold the machine at the correct height, properly deal with wood chips, and mount the motor. This tool stand was built in the same way as my other tool stands, just smaller and with a chip ramp.

In October of 2015, I posted about Sgt. Anthony Russo of the Clark County School District Police Department. Russo was arrested after he got drunk, ran a red light, hit another car, assaulted the teenage driver of the car he had just crashed into at 60 mph, and then pulled a gun on witnesses who tried to intervene to stop his attack on a completely innocent person who was already "incapacitated" from being hit by some drunk maniac's car.
At the time the Las Vegas Review Journal described the incident this way:
Troopers said Russo was at fault in the crash that escalated into fight where the off-duty school police sergeant drew his gun. He faces charges that include driving under the influence, failure to obey a traffic signal, possession of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol, drawing a deadly weapon in a threatening manner and two counts of battery, NHP said.
Witnesses said Russo ran a red light at the off-ramp while going about 60 mph before hitting the car, according to arrest records obtained by the Review-Journal. Bystanders went to check on the Hyundai's passengers, and Russo, wearing "dress clothes," punched the car's passenger in the face three times.
When bystanders pulled Russo away from the passenger, he punched one of them in the face and lifted up his shirt, where his firearm was holstered. He pulled out his gun, and a female bystander stood between Russo and others at the scene, according to the arrest record.
That's when Russo went back to his car.
The arrest record said he failed to take a field sobriety test. He was taken to University Medical Center — as were three other people involved in the crash. Troopers got a warrant to draw four vials of blood from Russo, the arrest record said. He was then booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
That's obviously some outrageous shit for anyone, let alone a guy who is carrying a gun around a school and in fact already had a prior history of shooting children. There's no way they could have just swept this under the rug. He had to have been in for some serious punishment after this. Amirite?
Rest assured officers, that's not the case when you have one of those Magic Uniforms that renders you impervious to any sort of meaningful consequences for your actions, no matter how violent or outrageous they might be. Especially when you're talking about a department that ruled officers covering up for cops that held an underage drinking party which led to one of the juvenile attendees killing a woman in a drunk driving accident was "within the scope of their duties."
Not only were the laundry list of charges Sgt. Russo was originally facing reduced to two misdemeanors that resulted in just a fine and a temporary suspension of his license, but his firing has now been reversed. Apparently, according to an arbitrator, repeatedly punching a teenager and pulling a gun (while drunk) and threatening to shoot innocent people trying to stop him from committing assault on that innocent teenager doesn't represent "a damaging impact to the workplace" or an indication of malice. That workplace, of course is a building full of teenagers that he carries a gun around in. I can't see any way his drunken rampage against an "innocent, incapacitated teenager" would be an indicator of some sort of potential workplace threat.
And he's getting back pay for the two years he sat home. No word yet on whether he also will be getting reinstated as the head of the CCSD police union.

B2B Tech Marketers Focus on Revenue Influence, But Few Measure It
Influencing revenue is a top priority for B2B tech marketers, says Spiceworks on the basis of a survey of 185 B2B marketers in technology companies across North America and Europe. Fully 57% said that influencing revenue through new account acquisition is a priority, making that the most common priority cited by respondents.
Beyond influencing revenue through new account acquisition, B2B tech marketers are also focusing on increasing brand awareness (52%) and influencing revenue by cross-selling/up-selling existing accounts (39%).
While more respondents are prioritizing revenue influence through customer acquisition than up-selling existing customers, research indicates that CMOs believe that optimizing up-sell and cross-sell strategies (44%) is a significant growth factor. Currently only about 1 in 8 marketers (13%) believe that they're realizing the full revenue potential of their existing customers, according to a study from the CMO Council and Sendwithus.
Fewer Than Half Measure Revenue Influence
Despite saying that they prioritize revenue influence, B2B tech marketers surveyed are less apt to measure that influence than to use other metrics. In fact, more than one-quarter (27%) don't even know what percentage of revenue they're tasked with influencing. Among those who have an idea, about one-third said they're tasked with influencing more than 30% of revenue. (For comparison's sake, a recent study of B2B marketers found that of those tracking marketing's contribution to revenue, half said it's greater than 25%.)
Revenue and conversion metrics are clearly not tracked to the same degree as traffic and engagement/lead metrics, per the Spiceworks report.
For example, the top traffic metrics – total site visits (81%), traffic by sources/channels (77%) and average time on site (64%) – are each measured by more than 6 in 10 B2B tech marketers. The same is true for engagement and lead metrics, the leading ones of which (such as click-through rates and marketing qualified leads) are measured by more than 6 in 10 respondents.
As far as revenue metrics go, though, 55% measure campaign ROI, and fewer than half measure influenced revenue (45%). Likewise, only slim majorities are measuring the top conversion metrics, which include total deals closed/won (57%) and cost per acquisition (54%).
No wonder new research indicates that just 7% of B2B marketers in the US rate their company's current ability to measure and analyze marketing performance and impact as "excellent."
B2B Tech Marketers Know Business Leaders Value Revenue and Conversion Metrics
To be fair, the fact that B2B tech marketers are more likely to be measuring traffic than revenue metrics is probably a reflection of the greater ease of the former rather than some kind of prioritization.
Indeed, few respondents said that traffic metrics (43%) are very or extremely important to their marketing department, and even fewer (34%) think that these metrics carry that level of importance with business leaders.
There's a similar gap with engagement/click metrics, which respondents believe matter more to the marketing department (55% saying very or extremely important) than to senior leadership (36% perceiving that level of importance).
Marketers acknowledge that traffic and conversion metrics are less important to the marketing team than lead metrics (72%), revenue metrics (67%) and conversion metrics (66%).
But while they feel that lead metrics are most important overall to the marketing department, respondents are most apt to believe that conversion metrics (79%) and revenue metrics (77%) are prioritized by business leadership.
One problem identified by Spiceworks is misalignment of marketing objectives with organizational goals. CMOs have identified organizational alignment as an area that would provide them with tremendous help in becoming more effective, but some complain that CEOs don't understand the connection between marketing and revenue generation.
Yet as the Spiceworks analysts note, "marketers need to speak the language of their business leaders and connect their metrics to what their executives are focused on, and in most cases, that's revenue."
About the Data: The results are based on a survey conducted by Spiceworks in May 2018 that included 185 B2B marketers in tech companies in North America and Europe. Respondents come from a variety of company sizes and represent a variety of titles including CMOS, brand marketers, content marketers, product marketers and demand marketers.
Here's A Look At B2B Marketers' Most Desired Metrics What Metrics Are ABM Marketers Using to Measure Success? Should B2B Marketers Gate Their Content? B2B Tech Marketers Putting Their Budgets, Efforts Behind Demand Gen


Afraid of a little (sales) mouse are you?
Now that we've moved into our new home we are adjusting to the changes that come with a big move. One of those changes is that we are officially "in the country" (or so I've been told.) And being in the country means we have mice that will try to visit.
The other night we heard the scritch-scratch of a mouse in the wall. My husband was immediately "on it." He was setting traps, studying mouse entry points etc etc. When I started to laugh at his fervor he looked shocked.
He had a right to be. When we first met I was living in an apartment and went crazy over a mouse that had gotten into my dwelling. To say I was obsessed would be an understatement. I had him hunting the poor little guy day and night. I didn't want to stay in the apartment. I couldn't sleep and had gotten twitchy every time I saw a sudden movement.
I felt threatened. I wanted someone else to make the problem go away.
So fast forward 15 years my husband wanted to know what had changed. My answer was simple: everything.
I thanked our visitor for the message to think "bigger" and have taken it to heart.
I see this same fear of the unknown paralyze my clients all the time, especially around sales and marketing. In the early stages of entrepreneurship sales and marketing feels strange. We don't understand it. We don't know how to create predictable, desirable outcomes and it creates fear and anger. This used to happen to me, as well.
When I first started out I thought if God wanted me to do my work in the world, She would take care of the sales and marketing. When it didn't seem like that was the case I got pissed (because I was scared.) Why wasn't God making sales easier for me?!!!
Fast forward six years and I now love and honor my relationship to sales and marketing. So what's changed?
I came to understand that sales and marketing (and more importantly my relationship to sales and marketing) shows me how I'm doing in honoring my worth, asking for what I desire, receiving and allowing. Learning to sell and market in a way that works for my soul has been a beautiful teacher.
I've learned entrepreneurship is a spiritual process and so anything that shows up with it is part of this sacred path. Of course God could do my marketing and sales for me (and She has been known to present some pretty rock star miracles in that department), but She wants me to honor my worth, ask for what I desire, receive, allow etc etc.… and She knows if She does it for me I'll never learn how to do it for myself.
I've gotten pretty good at marketing and sales and I must say it is fun! I'm so glad She let me figure this out on my own!
If you'd like to embrace Sales and Marketing as a sacred process that you do joyfully and easily I'll be sharing more about what I've learned about walking your Sacred Money Path on a free call next week. You can join me by registering here: Sacred Money Path Training and I'll send you all the deets.
Elegantly put,Patty. Thank you for your insight, honesty and sharing. Looking forward to more "nuggets" from Patty!!

For maximum financial security of our customers, we have devised a foul proof and double check system. In this system once the reservation is completed over the phone and the confirmatory email containing all flight details is send to the traveller, the traveller is informed of the total cost of purchase / charged amount and requested to verify the same with her/his bank in order for us to guarantee transparency and precision.
Traveller/buyer may be required to provide secondary confirmation of total transaction amount as appearing on her/his statement or the authorization code of transaction. This can either be obtained through online statement check or making a call to the respective bank.
The exact amount (not a round figure but in pounds and few pence) must match with our records. In cases where the payment as stated on traveller "s statement does not match with the accounts records in our company, tickets cannot be issued (compliancy check failure).
Once the traveller/buyer confirms the total amount in exact figures (pounds & pence) and provided that the payment confirmed matched 100% with the company records / accounts, tickets are issued immediately.
If the card is in a name other than the traveller her/him self, we will require a hand written authorization letter from the card holder (fax or scan), a coloured photocopy (fax/scan) of both sides of the card itself, before any tickets can be released. Also, a photo i.d. such as passport first page (scan/fax) or driver"s license will be required for both the card holder and the traveller.
In cases where the card holder / traveller does not want to provide any or all of the above documents s/he may switch the mode of payment such as cash payment / bank transfer where no photo i.d. or documents are required.
One may visit our office with all documents and in case where s/he does not want to fax/mail the third-party card documents.
The following Changes and Cancellation policy apply on all purchase items / holiday / package / hotel / flight ar other services with no regards to mode of payment or mode of reservation.
Any change to an itinerary prior to receipt of your final payment will be treated as an amendment.
Depending on the amount of work involved, each change/amendment will incur a charge which will not exceed £50 per person; in addition to any further costs or charges that we incur from our suppliers in making the alteration considering that the airline/supplier rules/policy permits the requested change.
Please note that most suppliers, in particular airlines do not allow a name change / date change or any changes and may consider this as a cancellation with a 100% cancellation charge (where ticket is not utilized as originally issued).
Once a change is requested by the traveller, any previous/existing reservation and fares are dissolved to make changes and therefore, if a traveller chooses to retreat, it is not possible to offer the same previous fare again, or older/previous reservation or seats on previously given/reserved date. Hence in that case, any fare difference, charges or penalty will apply accordingly to return to reservation on original data. In cases where the difference is not paid or agreed by the traveller; yet the change has been ordered, the reservation will be treated as cancelation by traveller (Refer "CHANGES AFTER TICKET / VOUCHER ISSUANCE") and cancellation charges will be payable/deducted.
Please note as airlines strictly do not permit name changes at any stage, if you require a name change prior ticket issuance; it can be done only through re-booking of seats. As we are seller of special and promotional fares available for short duration and few seats only, it is possible that upon rebooking (for name change) same fare, same dates or prices are not available. Under these circumstances any fare / cost difference as applicable, will be payable by the traveller. Fares are constantly changing and mostly raising, therefore any fare/tax difference as applicable on date of name change / rebooking will be charged accordingly and payable by the traveller. However, if the difference is not accepted or paid, the reservation will be subjected to regulations as stated in section 6.2 headed "cancellation by traveler".
The date / schedule change requires to book the cheapest available or closest available fare or any available fare on the new/amended date. However, there may not be the same or cheap fare available on a new date or any date other than that reserved initially on request. Also, fares are revised every 24 hours and the airline may revise fares / or raise fares at any instance. Under these conditions, fare difference in addition to any date change penalty as applicable on new/changed date will be payable by the traveller. However, if the traveller refuses to proceed with the date change, after the change is ordered by her/him, the terms as stated in section 6.2 headed "cancellation by traveller" will apply.
Please note upon ordering a Name / Date change, the details of previous/existing reservation are dissolved to make any new changes in your PNR / Record. Hence, one cannot revert to older reservation at same costs or seat availability may not remain open on same date, once changes are ordered and original reservation is dissolved to search for changes.
If the change or difference is not accepted (after ordering), the reservation may automatically incur cancellation charges considering that the former dates / reservation is dissolved already upon change order.
Please note Name change on issued tickets is not permitted under any or all circumstances.
Where there is a minute change such as one alphabet correct, title correction (Mr. Miss/Mrs), or name order correction (Surname / First name. title), very few airlines may show flexibility. However, it is not guaranteed that travel will be permitted on such ticket and it should be directly inquired with the airline. The airline reserves the full right to acceptance or decline any such request or correction.
All tickets are entirely Non-changeable, Non-refundable and Non-transferable unless specifically stated in conditions.
Date changes on issued tickets are only as strict as name changes, with very few airlines having flexibility of one or two changes permitted at change penalty and cost differences payable as applied. Also, considering, if any seats are available for the requested change.
Strict date change penalties apply on issued tickets as stated in the airline policy in addition to fare/tax differences. Also, ticket may or may not be changeable at all. *Fare difference / revalidation charge will also be payable where applicable.
The number of changes / number of times a change can be made, nature of change permitted, cost and penalty or any other regulation is applied as stated in the airline/accommodation policy and can vary from class to class or type of fare/season or airline / supplier.
There may be a restricted time period during which a change can be made in a reservation, such as 48 hours prior travel or 20 days prior travel. Last minute changes may not be accommodated.
Changes on day of travel may not be permitted or cancellations are totally non-refundable after check in time starts or in some cases, on same day of flight / reservation.

Some tickets are non-refundable, while certain types of airline tickets (eg Apex Tickets) cannot be changed after a reservation has been made and any alteration request will incur a 100% cancellation charge. Tickets returned will be submitted to the respective airline, or their agent, for assessment.
As soon as we are reimbursed by the issuing airline or their agent we will forward a refund to you, less loss of deposit, applicable cancellation and/or administration charges. Please note that airline refunds on part used tickets and the return half of the airfare are always less than the pro-rata rate and may have no refund value whatsoever. Refunds usually take 8 - 12 weeks but in certain cases may take longer or indefinite period such as Airline Bankruptcies. Please note, airlines are directly in control of refund matters, refund amount or refund date and the agency is only a communication channel, hence bears no responsibility for delays or differentials or airline actions.
Cancellation has to be applied within a certain period (24 hours to 7 days) and after a given periods cancellation may not be refunded or entertained. Also, documents, airline letters, passport or ticket copies / scans can be demanded to apply cancellations.
Any other cost/damage claims or any other amount other than the cost of tickets / paid value to the agency cannot be claimed through or by agency and has to be claimed directly from the airline. The agency will only file, apply and follow up the tickets/voucher refund and no other claim whatsoever. The agency is not liable or responsibly for airline cancellations or other actions.
The agency can only be claimed for the service charges (if paid / charged). Ticket costs/damages/ accommodation vouchers value etc are to be claimed form the airline/hotel directly under any and all circumstances. However, the agency will provide guideline, support and follow-up if required for the "exact amount paid" claims.
In cases where a cancellation of flight/reservation is requested by the traveller, no matter what the reason there be, the airline cancellation policy as well as the company cancellation terms are applicable and can vary among airlines, fare types or season of travel *such as the minimal cancellation charges where the e-tickets are not issued are 100 GBP per reservation / per person (please check with your concerned agent as policy may vary with respect to airline / date or accommodation).
Any remaining / outstanding balance is refunded between 8 – 12 weeks of cancellation of tickets, provided that if it is received at our end or if paid back timely by the airline. The refund is made in the same account (as charged from) unless specified.
Once the tickets are issued, the traveller and carrier/airline or accommodation is to deal directly and the agency is not liable to guarantee amount or time of refund, service, standard or operations of airline. However, we provide complimentary services to apply and chase refunds with the airline / accommodation on traveller"s behalf. Where the refund of remaining balance after cancellation is applied through us, our consultants follow up the refund (if any) and the received amount is paid back into the account from where it is taken. The date, time and amount of refund depend entirely on the airline and its respective policy and the company is not liable or accountable in such cases.
In most cases, flight tickets/reservations can be entirely non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable *please enquire with your agents.
A traveller can be requested to provide appropriate documents / letters from airline, where the airline cancels its flights before departure / return. The traveller should also provide ticket scan / copy or any other evidence as requested by the concerned agent / consultant.
"Airline cancellation" can only be applied for refund within 48 days to 7 days period in order for the agent to file refund case. Refund claims later than the given period or evidence provided later than the given deadlines will not be entertained.
In case of airline cancellation, the airline may provide alternate flight options OR full / part refund (depending on conditions / route / status of ticket). It is up to the traveller to accept or decline airline offer or choose refund/ alternate options. The traveller must contact the airline directly in these cases.
Once the tickets are issued, the total cost is paid to the airline and therefore the refund, status of refund, time / date of refund, amount of refund, or any financial matters, claims or complaints are to be directly sorted out with the airline. The agency is not liable or has any influence direct or indirect on the airline offering or operations and bears no responsibility of airline actions. In case of cancellation by airlines (changes which lead to refund processing authorised by airline) shall entitle the passenger to the full refund of all such funds that the airlines pays back to us. This figure may differ from the original payment made initially at the time of booking. Ticket issuance and refund application are two separate activities and may be charged separately. In case the airline authorises full refund, there will still be charges applicable by us which will be pre-notified before applying for such refunds. However, we provide support, services and assistance in applying refunds, acquiring alternate options and in problem solving.
Our agents can/should be contacted for guideline, support or advice where the airline has cancelled the flights or is not operational.
For accurate or immediate information on flight status, refund status, airline operations, schedules and airline refund, travellers/buyers are recommended to establish direct contact with the airline head office, nearest office or regulatory authorities.

In situation where airline is non-operational, grounded, suspended, bankrupted or on strike, the available numbers of airline head office or air control offices should be contacted for precise information.
Grounded/Bankrupt or suspended airlines refunds may not be the same as "Flight Cancellation by airline" as in these cases the airline may be entirely out of reach and all offices shut down. The refund process can be very lengthy in these cases and bears no guarantee or liability of the agency.
Airline on strikes, in certain cases, may offer alternate flights or flights with other / code share airline or full/part refunds. However, the agency does not hold any liability for airline actions and the airline office should directly be contacted in these matters.
The agents may or may not have immediate or precise information where airline is non-operational at sudden and no press release / notice is released from the airline or any governing bodies. However, airline phone numbers / contact information can be acquired and will be provided as available.

Please note that some tours require a minimum number of bookings to operate. In the unlikely event that a tour is cancelled due to low bookings you will be told as soon as is practical. If we are unable to provide you with a significant element of the package after you have departed we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge. Package bookings are not cancelled less than 8 weeks prior to departure unless in cases of "Force Majeure" or failure to pay your balance on the specified date. This means that we will not have to pay compensation if we have to cancel or change your travel arrangements in any way because of war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, unforeseen operational decisions of air carriers such as changes of schedule, or other unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances beyond our control. If the cancellation has not been caused by force majeure or low bookings we will pay you compensation as set out below: (Period before departure within which a major change is notified to you); followed by: Compensation per person: more than 56 days - Nil; 55-29 days- £10; 28 days or less - £20.
The price of your travel arrangements can be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator or organizer. Also government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes and currency changes in relation to an exchange rate variation. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, which excludes insurance premiums and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1.00 per person. If this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 15% of the price of your travel arrangements, you may cancel your travel arrangements and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice.

UPDATE: TxDOT says the crash site is clear and traffic is returning to normal.
A carsh involving two cars just north of Troy had southbound I35 traffic moving at a snail's pace Wednesday morning.
The crash near Big Elm Road just north of mile marker 311 restricted traffic to one lane. TxDOT officials estimated a clearance time of 30 minutes to an hour with backups up to 2 miles.
The access road from Bruceville-Eddy to Troy was still open, and TxDOT recommended using the Big Elm Road just south of B-E until you're clear of the jam.
TxDOT classified the car collision as minor.

It can be challenging to make the home a place that is exciting, and many people are struggling with this. In fact, many homes can end up being drab and boring. Reason being that a lot of time people tend to play safe with their home's design and stick to traditional ideas rather than trying anything a bit more exciting.
Playing safe only means that nothing is bound to go wrong, but you risk your home being pretty boring and generic. Having that in mind, here is a list of ways in which you can bring some modern flourishes to your home.
When redecorating homes, many people feel unsure of the choice of color. You will agree that not too often will walk into a home and find some color on the wall. Often many people will go for white and magnolia as there is less likelihood of anything going wrong with these colors. What it also means is that such homes will always lack a real personality. Instead, why not select one wall of your living room and transform it into a feature wall? You can keep the rest of the walls as white but make this one vibrant with yellow or any conspicuous color. Sure, that might seem extreme, but with sufficient lighting and the white walls to reflect it, then the room will not be overpowered. Instead it will make the entire room much more appealing.
There is that one moment that you walk into a room and you think you have that same coffee table. You then go on and realize that you have the same lamp, dining table, sofa, and bookcase, and that essentially your home is a showroom. If you want a more exciting feeling for your home, then you need to look elsewhere and update your furniture. You can stand out and bring a touch of stylish industrial flair into your home with these unique coffee table sets. In addition to making your home stand out, it offers you with new options of how to furnish your home.
The same applies to d?cor; never buy decorations from large stores. If you do, be ready to have a house that looks the same as thousand others out there. Why not buy from small antique shops or thrift stores and get something unique? Buying from these stores is a bit expensive but at the end of the day you will end up buying something more interesting and unique to put up your wall.
By combining the right furnishing, color, and d?cor, a dull room can be made more interesting and lively.

Proptech start-up secures Andrew Bogut slam dunk
Larry SchlesingerReporter
Oct 23, 2019 — 6.23pm
Australian basketball star Andrew Bogut has made his first investment in the booming proptech sector after backing a new online marketplace for off-market property deals.
Mr Bogut, a Young Rich Lister and avid property and technology investor, has invested in new start-up Listing Loop and taken on the role of its ambassador.
Listing Loop, established by Mornington Peninsula-based tech entrepreneur Rhett Dallwitz, is an online marketplace for properties that are up for sale, but not advertised or yet to be advertised on the main property portals.
It works by alerting registered buyers to off-market properties on the Listing Loop database which match their search criteria.
Sellers list their property for free (through an estate agent) but are charged a commission of 0.22 per cent if a deal sells through the platform.
Andrew Bogut: "I will promote the website through social media." Supplied
Mr Bogut, a seasoned investor in both residential and commercial property, said he liked the idea because of its potential to save advertising costs and reduce the amount of time spent searching for properties.
"You're not getting rid of estate agents, but it's a different avenue for people to buy and sell," he said.
Speaking of his own experiences, he said: "Signing a marketing contract with an agent can be a waste of money. As soon as they get the bottom line, service goes out the window."
As an investor who often bought off-market, he said he liked the idea of being "hit up" as soon as a listing matched your criteria and budget.
Mr Bogut said he would promote Listing Loop through his sporting contacts – this year the NBA veteran is playing locally for the Sydney Kings – and also through social media "where I get a bit of attention".
Mr Dallwitz said the idea behind Listing Loop was to centralise off-market listings so buyers had access to offerings across all agencies.
"Currently, to get pre-market listings, you have to ring up each agency and get added to their databases. There's a lot of system breakdown because agents don't have a system to manage off-market sales," he said.
Mr Dallwitz said Listing Loop was not trying to be an REA or Domain, which he called "fantastic businesses", but said his own research had identified that between 10 and 30 per cent of sales in the inner city were done off-market.
"Sellers are keen to sell, but upfront marketing costs are a big overhead. For some, it's a question of where do they find $5000 to $10,000," he said.
More than 650 estate agents have signed up to the Listing Loop platform, he said.
Its main competitor is another off-market matching platform, Property Whispers, which allows vendors to list property themselves for $49, or through an agent.

The Twilight 84 is an all mountain expert women's ski intended to tackle a variety terrain, but slightly more focused on hardpack snow rather than powder. It has a versatile, 84 mm waist and short 11.3 - 15.3 m radius range (depending on length) designed for both on-piste and off-piste conditions. It's also packed with technology, starting with Wavelight technology, in which the top of the ski from the core up has a series of structural waves designed to make the ski stiff laterally yet still supple-flexing longitudinally. (Think corrugated cardboard: easy to bend in one direction, rigid in the other). Early Rise Rocker lifts the tip and tail slightly up and off the ground, designed to maneuver through powder and other various conditions. Furthermore, with the tip and tail rockered, less edge is making contact with the snow, designed for responsiveness and minimized turning effort. Trulite Woodcore, a women's-specific core, is comprised of a variety of lightweight wood layered from throughout the ski, designed to increase playfulness and maneuverability. For something similar in the All Mountain Women series, check out the Twilight 90, Twilight 90 Carbon, and Twilight 76. The All Mountain Women series is made up of 12 models with a variety of purposes. Some are more carving-focused, some are more off-piste-focused, but they all share an overarching intention to ski well thanks to a plethora of technology Elan has developed over the years. Elan, based in Begunje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia, was founded in 1945. Its U.S. headquarters are in West Lebanon, N.H.


One of the most fundamental operations employed in data mining tasks such as classification, cluster analysis, and anomaly detection, is that of similarity search. It has been used in numerous fields of application such as multimedia, information retrieval, recommender systems and pattern recognition. Specifically, a similarity query aims to retrieve from the database the most similar objects to a query object, where the underlying similarity measure is usually expressed as a distance function.
The cost of processing similarity queries has been typically assessed in terms of the representational dimension of the data involved, that is, the number of features used to represent individual data objects. It is generally the case that high representational dimension would result in a significant increase in the processing cost of similarity queries. This relation is often attributed to an amalgamation of phenomena, collectively referred to as the curse of dimensionality. However, the observed effects of dimensionality in practice may not be as severe as expected. This has led to the development of models quantifying the complexity of data in terms of some measure of the intrinsic dimensionality.
The generalized expansion dimension (GED) is one of such models, which estimates the intrinsic dimension in the vicinity of a query point q through the observation of the ranks and distances of pairs of neighbors with respect to q. This dissertation is mainly concerned with the design and analysis of search algorithms, based on the GED model. In particular, three variants of similarity search problem are considered, including adaptive similarity search, flexible aggregate similarity search, and subspace similarity search. The good practical performance of the proposed algorithms demonstrates the effectiveness of dimensionality-driven design of search algorithms.

We just finished talking about quadric surfaces in the Calculus III class that I'm teaching, so the timing was perfect to make my own.
A hyperboloid of one sheet has the amazing property that it is a ruled surface. That is, it is the the union of straight lines. Actually, it is doubly ruled—there are two straight lines through every point on the surface. The fact that the hyperboloid is doubly ruled allows us to make it out of skewers.
Here are photos of the final product. Left on its own the rubber bands pull the sculpture into a solid column. Twist the top and bottom (being careful of the pointy ends) and it opens into a hyperboloid.
A few years ago I made another physical model of a hyperboloid. I used a jig saw to cut two circles out of wood, drilled holes in them, and threaded string between them. Then, when the two circles are twisted opposite directions the strings stay straight and form a hyperboloid.
Next Post Woo hoo! A power of 10! Hooray! Here's to an arbitrary milestone!
For those of us without jigsaws, how about tying the string to embroidery hoops?
Good idea. It is important to get all of the strings the same length, though. That would be tricky (although not impossible) if you're tying them one at a time. I weaved one long string up and down on my circles. Then I could adjust them afterward for fine-tuning.
There's a Museum of Mathematics ?!
Thanks very much, this is the first I heard of it. Is it in northern Long Island about halfway out to Montauk and the Hamptons? That's where the address seems to be. It looks fairly new, and what a sad commentary on American Education that it's the only one of it's kind in our Country.
Thanks again Professor Richeson for making us aware of this.
I've never been to the actual Museum of Mathematics, but I saw their Math Midway traveling exhibit. I wrote about it here: https://divisbyzero.com/2009/12/30/math-midway-at-the-da-vinci-science-center/.
