The World of Warcraft is going back to its roots with WoW Classic. Giving players the chance to return to the game as it was around the time of its launch, WoW Classic is set to launch worldwide on August 27. However, ahead of its imminent release, the team at Blizzard are offering a closed beta test for WoW Classic, and we've got all the details players need to jump in on the action.
Allied Races Overview Everything about Allied Races, new playable races in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, including unlock requirements for each race, Heritage Armor, customization options, and speculation when they are playable. Battle for Azeroth (110-120) Leveling Tips and Consumables How to level from 110 to 120 as quickly as possible in WoW Battle for Azeroth, including recommended zone order, best consumables, general leveling tips, and best addons. Azerite Armor Overview and FAQ Everything known about Azerite Armor and Azerite Traits in Battle for Azeroth including what Heart of Azeroth Level they unlock and how to respec them using an Azerite Reforger. The Battle for Lordaeron - Introductory Battle for Azeroth Quests This guide is an overview of the Battle for Lordaeron scenario, including a walkthrough from both Alliance and Horde points of view. Wowhead's Guide on How to Play World of Warcraft The basics of getting started in World of Warcraft as a brand-new player. Game installation, character creation, how to move, and complete your first quest.
I now have a Patreon Page where you guys can support me while I work on Vanilla WoW leveling guides every day. I appreciate all of you who support me on there, it means a lot to me right now. Doing this full time is taxing on my financial situation. My goal is to make the best Vanilla WoW leveling guides on the web and the donations keep me going at it healthfully. There is also cool rewards you get in return for donating. Thanks!
There are more passive methods to gain wow classic gold, but these are slower. For example, many people choose to fish in places like Tanaris, or kill Harpies in Feralas and loot items such as mageweaves. These are rather AFK-able, but again, not as rewarding. Some people choose to favour fun over anything, and like in any MMO (massively multiplayer online game), the best way to have fun is playing games with friends or your guild. Dungeon runs with your friends provide social interaction and are definitely helpful over the long-term for your gold stack!
The Horde levels 50-60 guide has been rewritten and revamped. My 1-60 Horde leveling guide is now completely updated for the 1.12 Drums of War patch. As you can see it is about 15% larger than the 40-50 guide (single largest guide page yet). There is also a lot of route changes. I moved the entire Silithus section from level 55 to level 58, which allowed me to include a lot more quests for that zone. There is also a lot of other improvement to the route, including adding a lot more quests into the guide, mostly from Moonglade, Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands. This will make the final level 59 grind much shorter.
When it comes to levelling the Priest Class from 1-60 fast, XP grinding locations is only half the battle. You will need to make sure your weapon does enough DPS so that you can clear these mobs fast enough, it should also be noted that monster should be around your level to make sure to gain the 100% XP Reward. The Level your character should be before you start that specific location will be indicated to left in a Blue Color for Alliance [Lvl 35-39] and the Orange Color for Horde [Lvl 35-39]. The Mobs you are looking for in that specific area names are Bolded [Mob Name].
2. the only gear that was easily attainable sort of was the old level 60 pvp sets. if the classic servers stay locked in progression of any expansions then grinding the PvP gear for both pvp and raiding would be the top choice in casual play. "IF" they implement the LFG and LFR tools for the 16-40 man raids, heh it would be very interesting, otherwise get use to Trade chat being filled with PuG raid groups looking for people, because that was the norm back in the day.
This tutorial will ensure that the beginning of your journey will be a smooth one. It provides information that will help you find your way when you get lost, as well as tips that will offer guidance and advice as you march on towards greatness. It is not an exhaustive guide, however; it neither can nor wants to unveil every secret of Azeroth to you. That glorious task is left up to you as you explore the world yourself. Think of this guide as a touchstone for your early adventures: enough to get started, but too little to spoil any of the awesome surprises that await you in Azeroth.
The argument for this is simple: what makes classic WoW great to one player might be different from what makes it great for another. And who are Blizzard's designers to say which old features were just good or bad design for each player? It's an approach that shows Blizzard believes (at least to some degree) that WoW doesn't just belong to its creators but to its fans. That struggle between authorial intent or game design orthodoxy and "the player is always right" is at the heart of many of gaming's big contemporary controversies. But so far, Blizzard seems committed to its plan with regard to WoW Classic.
WoW: Classic is scheduled for August 27 (technically August 26 if you're in the Americas). The soonest that you can play it is starting in May, during Blizzard's scheduled stress tests. To opt-in you must have an active subscription on your Battle.net account. If you do, go to Account Management and select the Wow Classic beta. Keep in mind, there will be level caps during the test. The schedule is as follows:
Professions in Battle for Azeroth Professions in Battle for Azeroth, the next WoW expansion after Legion, have received a significant update, with many new recipes as well as a significant skill squish. In this overview, we'll highlight the major recipes, reagents, and useful items each profession offers. Battle for Azeroth Alchemy Guide Everything about Battle for Azeroth Alchemy including trainer locations, potions, flasks, reagents, transmutation, and special Alchemy-only perks. How the Scrapper in Battle for Azeroth Works Full explanation of how the Scrapper works in Battle for Azeroth and how to properly use it to get the crafting materials you need from unwanted gear.
Swim Speed Potions (used especially at lvl 37 for Faldir's Cove in Arathi Highlands and lvl 57 in WPL).  Try to get multiple stacks of these.  I also recommend keeping a stack of these always in your bags.  You will frequently pass rivers and lakes and can use these potions to pass them faster through out the guide.  Please note that these potions do not stack with Druid's Aquatic Form and Glyph of Aquatic Form.

Variety star Joe back for another season
Joe Longthorne has an enduring popularity
Local entertainer Joe Longthorne has announced that he will be headlining a series of shows at Viva this coming month and will return once again in April 2017.
The Hull-born performer resides in Blackpool and has become somewhat of a resident at the Vegas inspired venue.
His enduring popularity is such that Viva has already had to arrange 19 dates in 2016 for the Viva Variety show that he headlines. This is in addition to dates for this autumn, the next three Sundays – October 30, November 6 and November 13.
Joe headlines the show, which is a full night of variety, featuring Viva's resident funny man and compere, Leye D Johns, a guest comedian on each occasion, illusionist and magician, Michael Jordan, talented vocalist Jennifer Ball and a live four-piece band.
Guest comedians currently on the roster for this show are Johnnie Casson, George King, Carl Schofield and Nicky Newsome, all of whom provide great comic interludes.
Viva holds a special place in Joe Longthorne's heart to the extent that his 60th birthday celebration was held there, as fans can see on a DVD recorded there that can be bought from his website. The soundtrack to this, featuring a 16-piece live band, is now also available for purchase.
In September, Joe was awarded with a degree from the Open University's Senate, an award given to those meriting special recognition for outstanding distinctions and achievements.
He's in quite esteemed company, following in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela, Sir David Attenborough and Dame Judi Dench.
Viva Blackpool's managing director, Martin Heywood, says: "We are delighted that Joe was recognised in this prestigious way and it is well deserved after all the joy he has brought to audiences and the incredible hard work he has put into charity campaigns.
"Leye D Johns has toured with Joe many times, so the pair will be reunited for what should be a series of cracking Sunday night performances, both this autumn and then from April 2017."
Tickets for Joe Longthorne's Viva Variety shows are priced from £17.50 for an adult and £9.50 for children. To purchase, visit www.vivablackpool.com or call 01253 297297.

: Singani "63" Bolivian Muscat Brandy (750ml)
Singani "63" Bolivian Muscat Brandy (750ml)
Just when you think you've tasted every type of booze known to man, you discover that there are yet more regionally specific spirits being distilled in places you've never considered. Take Bolivia, for example. In Bolivia they make a pisco-like spirit called Singani, distilled from Muscat of Alexandria grapes grown high in the Andes mountains. Seeing that Muscat is an aromatic varietal, known for its fruity and floral character, the Singani spirit distilled from it takes on many of the perfumes found in the expressive grape. The result is a clean and vibrant brandy that drinks like something in between pisco and a fruity eau-de-vie. One man who had definitely never heard of Singani was Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh, who happened to be in Bolivia while shooting his 2008 bio-pic about Che Guevara. He was given a bottle of the local spirit as a present and was immediately smitten. He wanted to drink nothing else but Singani from that point on. The question, however, was how to get a bottle of Casa Real Singani after returning to the U.S.; a place where Singani wasn't readily available. Never one to be intimidated by a challenge, Steven decided to take on the task himself. He would find an importer, a brand manager, a distributor, a broker, and an entire team of professionals dedicated towards providing him and his friends with the Bolivian spirit.

Super aromatic and just plain pretty. This muscat based Bolvian brandy gives off aromas of tropical fruits, sweet green apples, and night blooming jasmine. The palate is soft and sweet and reminds me of a tropical fruit punch jolly rancher but with a dry finish. A fun, summery spirit that would work great in a number of cocktails (think cucumbers, limes, basil, and punches) or would be great in a spritz or just on the rocks.

Few products are so near and dear to our heart. I fell in love the product not only because of its soft and easy-to-use character, but because of the wonderful story that goes along with it. When our friend and long time customer came to town to show us his new product we couldn't believe his absolute devotion and true love for this product. Luckily for us, it actually tastes magnificent and is easily one of the most versatile products on the shelf. Definitely a must have for the bar.

What a great night we had last evening at Delphine, celebrating this wonderful spirit, and exploring its amazing versatility. Thanks to esteemed filmmaker Steven Soderburgh, this super-clean and floral muscat brandy is finally available here in the states, and is a perfect addition to any bar, especially for when someone wants an amazing cocktail, yet is sick of their usual tequila-gin-vodka selections. Be sure to try this soon!

Seriously one of the coolest things I have tasted in a while. It's amazing how this retained so much of the pure Muscat flavor profile through distillation. Fantastically floral aromatics, very delicate and yet flavorful all at the same time. Like the finest Muscat-based wines this is not about sweetness but about perfume and delicacy on the palate. I can only imagine what people will think up to do with this intriguing little spirit but it is certainly something worth having on your bar.

Exactly what we love to drink. After a "serious day in the office" tasting as many as 40 different whiskies, the Singani is the type of spirit I want to come home to, delicious. Fresh, and lively, you get the essence of the Muscat grape, floral, with ripe peach and apricot, this is super clean and dangerously drinkable. So much to do with it: Pisco sour stand-in, add some tonic, or lemon soda with a twist; I would even venture to say it would be killer in a Mojito.

The is the do-it-all spirit for your liquor cabinet (and you don't even know what it is!). Fruity, floral, and clean, this can be substituted into a number of different cocktails in place of tequila, vodka, gin, and rum. I've made Singani Daiquiris, Singani Margaritas, Singani Negronis, Bloody Maries, Singani and Tonic, Singani Sangria--they're all fantastic. Bolivia's finest export may indeed be Singani. Now you just need to queue up "Che" on Netflix-instant, imagine you're Soderbergh drinking Singani on the set, and drink until your heart's content.

Q: How to choose a correct value for open_file_cache in nginx configuration? I have a website with load of about 60 000 requests per minute served by nginx. Recently, I have enabled the open file cache and saw a dramatic improvement in performance. But in the evenenings, when loads is maximum, response times are still quite large and nginx uses a lot of IO.
Here are my current settings:
open_file_cache max=10000 inactive=30s;
open_file_cache_valid    60s;
open_file_cache_min_uses 2;
open_file_cache_errors   on;

And I still have some memory left:
free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7910       6917        992          0        439        885
-/+ buffers/cache:       5592       2317
Swap:         8099          0       8099

Question: now do I choose correct value for open_file_cache max=10000 and other parameters? Is 10000 enough, is it too small or big? Is there a way to monitor open file cache use?

A: The open file cache is a caching system for metadata operations (file mtime, file existence etc), not for file content, so it helps but not as much as you would expect.
Some workarounds you could try are:

*

*Lower the gzip compression ration if you have turned dynamic gzip on.

*If you are running a sufficiently recent kernel (> 2.6.22) try turning aio on. Check http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule#aio

*Disable access logging. This alone can give you a very high performance jump. Make sure you don't need it though!

*Try an actual file content caching module such as https://github.com/bpaquet/ngx_http_enhanced_memcached_module. Warning: this will require recompiling nginx from source!

A: You could also try buffers as nginx won't write any temporary files when you have sufficient buffers

This section is designed as a precursor to the "Ask Baron & Chestney" section. It is best to look here first, before asking B & C, as it is very possible that someone else has already asked your question, and the answer lies right here on our website. For SPECIFIC questions, like "What did my neighbors, the Smiths, sell their house for last month?", you would of course just "ASK BARON & CHESTNEY". A Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount real estate broker will get you a personal response as soon as feasible.
This FAQ page primarily discusses our discount real estate commission program for home sellers. If you are a potential home buyer, you will most likely want to instead learn about our real estate rebate program for home buyers, by which you get a commission rebate when you purchase a home with a Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount realtor representing you as the home buyer. Please click on the following link to learn more about our realtor commission rebates: But I'm a home buyer.
1. Q: How does this 2% real estate commission to 4% real estate commission work, exactly?
A : Essentially, Baron & Chestney Real Estate earns a 1% real estate commission on either side of any real estate transaction — 1% from the home sellers' side and 1% from the home buyers' side. By charging no more than a 2% real estate commission on a typical 6% real estate commission deal, Baron & Chestney Real Estate passes the extra 2% to 4% on to the real estate buyers and sellers. If we represent both sides in the realty transaction, the TOTAL realtor commission is only 2% (best case scenario) — 1% to Baron & Chestney for each side of the deal, or 2% total. If the other real estate brokerage insists upon their traditional 3% commission (half of the 6% commission), then the total real estate commission that the home seller would pay is 4% (worst case scenario) — 1% to Baron & Chestney, and 3% to the other realtor. If the other real estate company is willing to reduce its fees somewhat, then the total realtor commission that the home seller pays will fall somewhere within the range of 2% to 4%, depending upon the amount of the discounting that the other firm is willing to do (think in terms of .5% as a discount, as a rule of thumb, if another brokerage is even willing or able to do so). For further details, please read through the "8 SCENARIOS SHOWING HOW B & C SAVES ME MONEY" section. If you still don't understand, please give us a call, or ASK B & C what you don't understand.
2. Q: Ok, I understand the math/mechanics behind the 2% to 4% commission. But HOW CAN YOU DO IT?!
A: There are a multitude of reasons why Baron & Chestney Real Estate's unique business model brings tremendous savings to both buyers and sellers of real estate. To name a few: we are real estate brokers who do not have to split commissions with real estate agents, we prefer to do more real estate transactions for less real estate commission per deal, we work only with the most qualified buyers, sellers, and properties, and our system facilitates price negotiations between home buyers and home sellers because our business model's real estate commission structure serves to buffer the price gap that would otherwise keep them apart. The only party that really makes less on the deal is Baron & Chestney Real Estate. If you still don't understand, call us, or use the "Ask Baron & Chestney" feature.
3. Q: OK, I understand the math, mechanics, and how you can do it. But, WILL I LOSE ANYTHING BY USING Baron & Chestney Real Estate?
A: No, not at all. Remember, we are a FULL SERVICE discount commission real estate BROKERAGE. You will get all of the same full service that a 6% "national chain" real estate company would give you, without the unreasonable and over inflated 6% commission price! Also, WE ARE REAL ESTATE BROKERS. The 6% national chain realtor firms send a common real estate agent to deal with you. We eliminate the middle man/middle woman (real estate sales agent), so you deal directly with one of our discount real estate BROKERS. Baron & Chestney Real Estate's discount real estate brokers are licensed, we are Realtors, we have signs, lock boxes, Home Search Services, advertising, marketing, a website, an office, and all of the typical features that you would expect from the biggest real estate companies in the country — except without the biggest commissions that come along with those 6% national chain real estate companies. The only thing missing from our service is about 2% to 4% of the realtor commission that you would otherwise pay to our 6% commission competitors. We think you can live without that! However, if you STILL want to pay 6% commissions, may we instead propose the following strategy: use a Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount realtor to sell your home, save from 2% to 4% in real estate commissions on the sale of your home, and then take the difference (6% minus what you paid in realtor commissions to a Baron & Chestney discount broker) and then DONATE IT to one of the following excellent charities: American Cancer Foundation, American Heart Association, American Red Cross, Veterans of Foreign Wars, March of Dimes, Muscular Dystrophy, your favorite religious organization, etc., etc. — believe us, they need the money a LOT more than our competitors do! Besides, you can feel good about giving money to the excellent charity or charities of your own choosing, right? Best of all, it's TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Money paid to a 6% commission national chain real estate agent is not. For more information, please see our ABOUT section.
4. Q: What are some of the other factors that help keep your realty commissions so low?
5. Q: My home is currently listed for sale with another real estate company. Can you rescue me?
A: Well, not until your current listing contract has expired. Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount realtors cannot solicit an active real estate listing. Please contact a Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount real estate broker when your current listing has expired, though! We will gladly help you at that time. Please understand that it is simply not ethical for us to solicit an existing listing. Our discount brokers are all realtors as well, and we adhere to the realtor code of ethics at all times. YOU may call US if you wish to discuss matters. However, there is a possibility that you could be liable for two real estate commissions if you breach an existing listing contract before its expiration. We would not want to see that happen to you. One possible strategy is simply to refuse to sell your home, if you are adamant about not getting gouged for 6% of the sales price. Once your listing contract expires, you can then wait a few days for your previous real estate agent to submit to you a written list of buyers who were shown the home. If you sell to anyone on that list for the next 90 days, you will likely owe them a commission. If they do not provide such list, and/or if you wait the 90 day period, you are free to hire another realtor to represent you in the sale of your home without being charged two commissions. If you have any further questions about this topic, please do not hesitate to call us and speak directly with one of our discount realtors.
6. Q: How does Baron & Chestney Real Estate compare to those "help you to sell your house" or "assist you to sell your house" real estate services?
A: Most "help you to sell your home" or "assist you to sell your home" real estate companies charge a flat fee, often based on a percentage of the value of your home. For most homes which are listed and sold by Baron & Chestney Real Estate, our 2% realtor commission will be equal to or just slightly higher than the realtor commission fees charged by such companies. However, you will get the FULL SERVICE that a traditional 6% commission real estate firm provides, but for only a 2% to 4% realtor commission when you sell with Baron & Chestney Real Estate. Plus, you won't have to do any of the work yourself! A Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount realtor will handle it all for you! You get the discount realtor price without the "discounted" real estate service. In addition, our for sale signs do not cause the embarrassment often associated with "do it yourself" sorts of real estate services that tend to make a home seller look "cheap". Furthermore, there is a reason that such services are jokingly referred to as "HOPE you sell", and "ATTEMPT to sell" — by asking the other realtors (the ones who bring the buyers, that is!) to discount their commissions, those companies tend to alienate the great majority of the real estate community, and their listings are often intentionally "overlooked" in favor of other homes that are instead offering the full 3% buyer's broker real estate commission. We are full service discount commission real estate brokers who will sell your San Francisco bay area home for a fraction of the traditional full service real estate commission price. To learn more, please read our ABOUT section.
7. Q: What's wrong with selling my house myself?
A: Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with you selling your home yourself if that is your wish. It is certainly your right to do so. You should keep in mind, however, that you will be sending a strong message to potential home buyers. They will be wondering why you are selling the home yourself, and will likely conclude that you are trying to save money. They may want a "cut" of your savings! They may also naturally conclude that you are trying to hide something or that there is something "wrong" with your home. Potential home purchasers will make "lowball" offers for your property, or offers with terms greatly beneficial to them and detrimental to you. While you may escape the real estate agent's commission, you will unlikely escape the home buyers who will cut into your equity just as quickly and easily — with the net result often being much worse for you. Very few homes are sold successfully by their owners — and when they are, it is often for a much lower price, and/or disadvantageous terms of sale for the home seller. It usually takes a lot longer to sell your own home, as well, and very often the home owner will list the home for sale with a real estate agency after failing to sell it himself, anyway! Why not just do it right the first time, and save thousands of dollars in realtor commissions without compromising anything? Call Baron & Chestney Real Estate and let one of our discount brokers sell your home for you! Our reputation and our business model says, "This owner is SMART", not "this owner is cheap"! At Baron & Chestney Real Estate, our discount realtors are proud to represent only the SMART folks!
8. Q: How about other real estate agents/ real estate brokers — will they discount their real estate commissions for me?
A: Remember, a 6% real estate commission is made up of two parts — a 3% real estate commission on the listing (home seller) side, and a 3% real estate commission on the home buyer's side. First, you need to distinguish exactly WHAT is being discounted! The real estate market conditions should influence your decisions, too. It never hurts to ask for a discounted real estate commission, but you must understand where the discount is coming from. Asking for a discount on the listing side is one thing — but even if you get it, it will usually only be a slight discounting, say .5%, for example, and then you will have to beg and grovel for it. At Baron & Chestney Real Estate, our discount real estate brokers discount 2% of the listing side commission automatically as our standard company policy — and no begging or groveling is required, so you can get back up off your knees! However, the OTHER 3% in commissions — the amount that will be paid to the buyer's broker (the one who brings the home buyer), really should be a function of the real estate market conditions. In a hot real estate market, you may offer less, like 2.5%, to the other realtor. However, as the real estate market cools, those homes that offer a full 3% to the buyer's side broker seem to sell much easier and faster (naturally). Therefore, you need to be very careful when you are saving money on real estate commissions — and consider from WHERE your savings is being derived. Indeed, what all of the "help you to sell", "assist you to sell", or "flat rate" real estate services FAIL to mention to you is that the very low commission or fee that they are quoting you is just THEIR side of the commissions or fees — NOT the OTHER side!!! You will STILL have to pay the OTHER side a realtor commission as well! Because of that, you must think very carefully about where and how you are trying to save commission dollars! In fact, the ONLY logical and SMART place to save money in realtor commissions is on the LISTING side, with Baron & Chestney Real Estate. Looking to save money on the BUYER's side commission may prove very unwise in a cooler real estate market. A 6% realty commission rule is not a law, but it is still a fairly firmly entrenched rule of thumb in the real estate industry. Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount realtors continue to work hard to try to change that, and we have exerted tremendous pressure upon our old fashioned traditional 6% competitors to lower their commissions. However, many of them are simply set up in such a way that even if they wanted to charge you lower real estate commissions, their rigid and highly inefficient business models still force them to gouge their customers just to meet their massive overhead. Still others are simply stubborn, foolish, greedy, and/or inflexible. In any case, you will not find a better deal than what Baron & Chestney Real Estate has to offer. You will certainly not find a better value for your real estate commission dollar. Read the fine print, ask lots of questions, and get all the promises in writing — because when the real estate market gets tough, 6% commission realtors get desperate. At Baron & Chestney, we do not have to offer "fire sale" prices when the market gets tough — our commissions are set at 1% per transaction side in any real estate deal. No haggling, no begging, no groveling, no special deals or "fire sale" prices — just good old fashioned service for a fair price. The only ones who are getting "burned" are our 6% commission competitors … and whose fault would that be?
9. Q: Isn't it true that a real estate listing offering a lower realty commission, say 5%, may not attract as many buyers agents to show the property to potential buyers?
A: It really depends upon the real estate market conditions. Theoretically, one could argue that, especially in a hot real estate market, most real estate brokers and real estate agents will not let that deter them from showing any home. However, the fact of the matter is, some will. It is unfortunate, but often true. As mentioned in #8, above, the real estate market conditions (a cooler market, especially) may dictate that it would be prudent to offer a full 3% realtor commission to the buyer's broker, as a strong incentive to encourage exposure and facilitate a quick sale for a good price. Our Baron & Chestney Real Estate discount brokers will discuss many potential listing and pricing strategies with our clients, in accordance with the market conditions, specific neighborhood trends and dynamics, your unique property, etc. There are certainly many variables that can come into play. Most importantly, though, we do NOT want to do anything that would be detrimental to our home sellers' best interests. Therefore, a cooperating real estate broker who wishes to show a Baron & Chestney Real Estate listing would still be entitled to his share of the commission noted on the Home Search when the transaction closes. Baron & Chestney Real Estate would only receive a 1% real estate commission — hence, the home seller only pays a 4% real estate commission at maximum, and the buyers' broker still gets his full share of commission, unless he voluntarily reduces his cut in the interests of facilitating the deal. In other words, our sellers can rest assured that other real estate brokers will try just as hard to sell a Baron & Chestney Real Estate listing as they would any other listing on the Multiple Listing Service (Home Search). This is a very important point which distinguishes our real estate business model from the rest. The important point to remember is that other real estate agents and brokers will not suffer or lose commissions by selling a Baron & Chestney listing. The money is essentially coming out of OUR pockets, not theirs. The only company to "lose" commissions is Baron & Chestney, UNLESS the other brokerage voluntarily discounts its commission, as well, in good faith. In this manner, we do not attract the hatred of other real estate professionals, and as a result, our clients' listings do not suffer as do those of any firm which offers less than a full commission to the broker, agent, or firm which brings the buyer.
10. Q: Why won't, or why can't, my real estate broker or real estate agent discount the realty commission for me?
A: Well, we don't really know the answer to this one! It really depends on the broker/agent and their particular circumstances. Agents most likely do not have the authority. Brokers may simply be unwilling to compromise. Larger name national "chain" real estate franchises may not be able to because of their corporate policies and procedures, and the way they are structured, with massive overhead and inflated commission split structures within their offices. They may literally be unable to afford to do so, even if they wanted to! Larger firms often have HUGE overhead expenses that they must cover and the commission that you pay is getting split many times and is paying the salaries of all sorts of folks in their employ whom you will never meet. Their commission structure may simply not make it cost effective for them to allow any discounting at all. They may honestly tell you the real reason, or they may make excuses to cover the fact that they just don't want to or simply cannot. But why bother ask, beg, and/or grovel for a tiny realtor commission reduction when you can get a MASSIVE 2% realtor commission reduction, guaranteed, with Baron & Chestney Real Estate? It's our company policy — no humiliating asking or begging required! We would love your help on this question! Please contact us with the "reason(s)" that other agents or brokers give you as to why they don't discount their commission rates! We will process your answers, and post the most common ones on this website, as well as some of the silliest ones! We are having a "silly excuse" contest right now, in fact, so send them in, we'll post the best ones/funniest ones right here on the website, and we'll select a winner and donate $50 to the charity of their choice in the winner's name, plus they will get a $50 gift certificate to a local hardware store, as well. See our CONTESTS section for full details.
Baron & Chestney was founded upon the principle of delivering MAXIMUM real estate VALUE for a MINIMUM real estate COMMISSION. Our full service discount brokers offer you TOTAL home seller commissions of as low as 2%, as well as HUGE home buyer rebates of as high as 2% throughout the entire San Francisco bay area. Baron & Chestney Real Estate guarantees our clients the best results, the best service, and the best value for their real estate dollar on any real estate transaction anywhere in the San Francisco bay area. We deliver for our clients the experience, knowledge, and expertise of live, local, in-person, veteran real estate brokers, while charging discount real estate commissions for home sellers and offering real estate commission rebates for home buyers which simply cannot be beaten. Our listing commission rates are the lowest they can possibly be. Our "jackpot" scenario, the 2% TOTAL commission, when we represent both sides of the transaction, is unmatched in the industry. Our rebates have always been the most generous ones possible, and they have never changed, unlike those of our copycat competitors who started out with stingy rebate amounts and continue to reduce them further and further. The overwhelming majority of our clients are best suited to our standard business model — same as it ever was. Unlike our competitors, we have not raised our commission rates nor reduced our rebates, while they continue to do both of those things. Thanks to the pressure exerted upon them by our aggressive and progressive business model, many of the old national chain 6% real estate companies have been forced to lower their commission rate from 6% to 5% in an effort to stay competitive. Even worse, a new wave of johnny-come-lately "e-companies" has popped up, offering to automate the sale and/or purchase of your San Francisco bay area home through the use of "apps" and "chat rooms" and "customer service reps" that are located in other states, or other countries, but available by phone or email. Dear heavens, what is this world coming to?! Nevertheless, we do believe that we should give the people what they want. We also realize that there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" business model, and that some clients want even more options, choices, and alternatives. SO, we have now introduced several NEW programs that allow us to uniquely customize our commission and fee structures to fit any client's special needs and unique circumstances. Our new flexible real estate services menu offers everything from flat rate commissions to "a la carte" real estate services Whatever your real estate needs may be, we will deliver truly outstanding results for a fraction of the price that competitors will charge. You do not need to use an old 6% national chain company, and you don't need to use an online algorithm to buy and/or sell your home in the San Francisco bay area. We are live, we are local, we are veteran, experienced brokers, and we guarantee our clients the best service, the best results, and the best value for their real estate dollar anywhere in the bay area.

While Harvey has kept a steady pace toward the coast of just 10 miles an hour, it continues to pick up strength. Overnight, Harvey increased to a Category 2 hurricane, and as of 10 a.m., it boasted sustained winds of 110 miles an hour, about 115 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, and should be Category 3 by the time it hits land.
Storms have already begun in Houston, and forecasters have urged everyone to finish up any remaining preparations before things get serious. Harvey is supposed to make landfall Friday night, and while rain is expected to continue throughout the day, it's expected to get worse later in the day Saturday, carrying into Sunday and probably into Monday, said National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Overpeck. NWS forecasts "devastating to catastrophic" flooding, with 18 to 24 inches of rainfall in the Houston region over the next several days. Sustained winds should be between 25 to 35 miles an hour with gusts up to 50 miles an hour with tropical-storm force.
"It's going to be a prolonged event," Overpeck said. "Harvey is expected to stall inland and then maybe move up along the coast early next week. That's what leaves things a little bit uncertain and a little bit tricky, and that's why were concerned about the higher rainfall. As the storm moves east, that's when we're going to start seeing the rain pile up."
Governor Greg Abbott already preemptively declared a state of disaster for 30 counties on Wednesday, and on Thursday deployed about 700 members of the Texas National Guard. The governor is expected to discuss state operations at a press conference at 12:30 today.
School closures are ongoing, and because storm conditions are already burgeoning along the coast and in the Houston region, some, such as Houston Community College, are closing earlier than usual today. Houston ISD which had planned to close at noon, moved that up by an hour this morning.
Overpeck said that, even if the 18 to 24 inches of rain are spread out through Tuesday, Houston's drainage system and bayous are likely going to be overworked if bands of rain keep hitting the area regularly.
"You get these continual bands over the same areas, and the drainage just can't keep up with that," he said. "Everything's trying to flow into Galveston Bay through the bayou system, but the bay is backed up with storm surge making things even worse, so you're going to have a large drainage problem."
Storm surge from Jamaica Beach to High Island is expected to be about 2 to 4 feet. The coast remains under a storm surge warning and eastern Harris County is under a storm surge watch.
We'll continue to update our weather coverage as the National Weather Service releases information.

Xu Zhimo Romantically in Tianning
October 5, 2017 richristow	Leave a comment
Image of Mr. Handsome Courtesy of Wikipedia
A snowflake falls from a winter cloud, but it seems intent. It's consumed with desire. As it flutters its way to earth; it works hard to avoid forests, mountains, and valleys. It does not want to land on something or somebody meaningless. It knows what it wants its destiny to be: it has to seek out a garden and fall onto a beautiful woman so that it could melt and "dissolve into the cordial waves of her heart."
This is the gist of 徐志摩 Xu Zhimo's famous poem, "A Snowflake's Happiness" — 雪花的快樂. My summation is a bit crude, because there is more at work here. The whole poem is a complicated metaphor about love, and that gets into the mechanics of how it was written. The first line goes like this:
If I were a snowflake
The voice of the poem is not declaring, "I am a snow flake." The operative word here, if we are trusting the translator, is if. That means its a metaphor and not a description of real life or something following a more narrative context. Much like other effective poems, the middle is there to build tension and led to the emotional payoff of the end. Of course, I'm not basing this off the Chinese original, but a translation I found on a blog. This version reads like a few of the others that I have found
This is well and fine, one might say. But what does this have to do with Changzhou? Xu, after all, was born in Zhejiang and spent a lot of time studying in the US and the UK. Living in England is the subject his most anthologized poem, "Taking Leave of Cambridge Again." As it turns out, Xu had a few links to Changzhou. The first comes by way of his romantic relationship with Lu Xiaoman.陆小曼. She spent sometime growing up in the Dragon City and had a definite connection to it. By default, that gave Xu an connection, too.
During his writing career, Xu also wrote a poem about Tianning Temple. The temple's website even acknowledges this. This has been translated into English, but its only available in print. It isn't online, and the collection of verse does not have an eBook version. I would have bought a copy if it had. One can shove the Chinese version into an online translator, but that really does a bunch of indignities to poetry. Verse is a medium where the choice of language is mostly exact and precise. It's all about the subtleties of nuance. Translating something like this with Google is like taking a beautiful, delicate, and exquisite piece of porcelain and dropping it into a blender.
Despite these literary and historical connections to Changzhou, there is something real that somebody can go see. It's in Tianning, near a northern exit of Hongmei Park and just down the street from the downtown train station. There is a statue depicting a romantic couple, and the are standing next carved metal baring the title of Xu's snowflake poem.
It would be easy to pass this by and think it's the only thing referencing Xu Zhimo in the area. However, if a person were to descend a nearby staircase and stand along the canal, they would see this.
These are inscribed tablets reproducing pages from Xu Zhimo's diaries. This, in particular comes from 爱眉小札日记. This diary has been published in Chinese as a book, but like a lot of Xu's prose, it has not been translated into English. If one were to look at some of what has been reproduced on this wall, it's a emblematic of Xu and the writer he was.
Of course, Xu was a hopeless romantic. He not only had a relationship with Lu Xiaoman, but he had conducted affairs with lots of other women. If you take the content and context of his writing and put that to one side, there is something more stylistic. The passages on display near Hongmei are bilingual. English sentences like
Oh May! Love me; give me all your love. Let us become one…
are interspersed into Chinese. This is no accident. Xu also worked as a translator, and he was proficient enough in English to study both in the UK and the USA. This also gets into the type of writer he was.
In some ways, Xu Zhimo can be compared to Ezra Pound in America. Pound looked at traditional forms in English language prosody and wanted to throw them out, start over, and bring in something new. He had translated Chinese poets like Li Bai and felt their influence. Pound also translated Japanese verse, and his famous "In The Station of the Metro" poem reads like a haiku. On the other hand, Xu Zhimo returned from study abroad. and did the same thing. Only, he loved western poets like Keats and Shelley. He wanted to throw out traditional Chinese poetic standards and write something more influenced by the west. In short: Xu was not immune to experimenting and playing around with language.
Whether it is by way of his Tianning Temple poem or his relationship with Lu Xiaoman, Xu had some connection with Changzhou. This city has had a long reputation for helping cultivate scholars and and people of intellect. Xu Zhimo definitely didn't come from here, but as evidenced by sculpture and canal-side engraved passages, Changzhou will still celebrate its link to him.

Sylvia Plath and The Daddy Statue
April 26, 2016 richristow	Leave a comment
Marble heavy, a bag full of God,
Ghastly statue with one gray toe
big as a Frisco seal
and a head in the freakish Atlantic
— Sylvia Plath
Plath's work as a poet has always struck me. There is usually a knack for a surreal turn of a phrase. The above lines come from "Daddy," where a the language — the rhymes and the melody of the words — sounds childish. The content, however, is more a grown woman's voice contemplating killing her father. Or, in some aspects, wanting to kill the memory of her father. Brutal themes like this carry mostly all the way through her collection Ariel.
I used to think of this poem, not because I have daddy issues like Plath's, but more because of a sculpture that used to be in Downtown Changzhou. It used to be the Future City shopping center next door to the Injoy Mall. A year and a half ago, Future City used to be empty, desolate. None of the shops were leased. There were just statues of a fat dude playing golf. Turns out, the area wasn't a ghostly bit of real estate. The area was still being developed. The shops there have been slowly filling in. As shopkeepers moved in, the statue I used to like to look at vanished.
It was of a nude woman playing a flute. On her pedestal, she sat semi-cross legged. However, one leg dangled over the side of the pedestal. Surrealistically, the leg became longer and fatter. Her foot always sparked the memories of reading "Daddy." Sure, the foot had more than one toe, but it always reminded me of the "Ghastly statue" line. Overtime, I used to imagine that this was the speaker, the woman in poem. She was playing beautiful sounding music, but she was still deformed. And that's how I would describe most of Plath's work. Beautiful, but deformed.

This Is Your Brain On Procrastination
Procrastination is a silent killer.
Whether it's putting off a daunting project… delaying on important deadlines… or allowing your to-do list to pile up - procrastination is a stressful and destructive habit.
Growing up, I was the king of procrastination. Some of my friends would wait until the night before an assignment was due, to finish their homework. I'd wait until the morning before. I'd set my alarm for 5am and pound out page…after…page… until that puppy was complete. Sometimes I got away with it. Other times I wasn't so lucky. It was extremely stressful, and I paid for it royally.
Yet, I kept resorting to it despite the consequences.
According to a 2007 review by the University of Calgary, psychologist Pier Steel found that procrastinators performed worse… struggled with more medical problems… were more likely to waste money on taxes… and put off pressing decisions such as retirement or saving money.
The thing is most procrastinators know it's hurting them...
So why do they keep doing it?
The brain may reveal some answers.
Researchers from Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany, had 264 healthy subjects undergo MRIs. When looked at the results, they found two key differences between the brains of procrastinators' and action takers'.
Difference #1: Procrastinators Had Larger Amygdala's
Here's what the amygdala does:
The amygdala is basically the "smoke detector" of the brain. It's on constant lookout for threats such as an attacker, wild animal or other dangers. If it detects one of those, it sounds the alarm, signaling your body for the flight-or-flight response. Yet, just like a regular smoke detector, it's susceptible to false alarms. This can happen even if the fear is simply imagined.
According to researcher Erhan Genc, here's what a larger amygdala means:
"Individuals with a higher amygdala volume may be more anxious about the negative consequences of an action -- they tend to hesitate and put off things."
In essence, a larger amygdala means more sensitivity to fear, which stops them from acting. It's this fear or uncertainty that creates hesitation. The interesting thing is that taking action is one of the many things that can actually "calm" down the amygdala (and limbic system).
According to Dr. Alex Korb, in his book The Upward Spiral:
"Making decisions includes creating intentions and setting goals — all three are part of the same neural circuitry and engage the prefrontal cortex in a positive way, reducing worry and anxiety. Making decisions also helps overcome striatum activity, which usually pulls you toward negative impulses and routines. Finally, making decisions changes your perception of the world — finding solutions to your problems and calming the limbic system."
Difference #2: Procrastinators Had Fewer Connections Between the ACC & Amygdala
Action takers had more connections between the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the amygdala. One of the roles of the ACC is assisting decision-making and regulating emotions. Thus, their ability to keep negative emotions at bay (such as fear) is enhanced because they have more connections between those two parts of the brain. Procrastinators on the other hand, had fewer.
According to Erhan Genc:
"Due to a low functional connection between amygdala and dorsal ACC, this effect may be augmented, as interfering negative emotions and alternative actions might not be sufficiently regulated."
Because there are fewer connections between these two parts of the brain, it's harder for procrastinators to regulate negative emotions such as fear. The ACC usually helps them cope but since they have fewer connections, it makes it more difficult.
Studies like these can put the blame on the brain, and it's easy to believe there's nothing that can be done since it's "in our heads".
So are procrastinators hopeless?
Hardly, while it's interesting to see the differences in the brain, the question becomes:
Do procrastinators' brains start that way?
Or does the brain develop that way because of the act of procrastination?
In fact, there are studies showing that the size of the amygdala can be reduced by things such as meditation. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
For more ways to overcome procrastination, check out my upcoming program Primal Discipline.
This new program focuses on developing intense self-discipline for consistently taking action. It's not about educating you on procrastination, but giving you the skills to break-free from it. It's about giving you the confidence in yourself to consistently finish projects and quit putting things off.

The Fear Secret From Driving Off A Cliff
Incredible true story:
It was a rainy night, and Chet was racing in his 1968 red charger on winding country roads. His friend was driving an Austin-Healy. During the race, Chet whips across a turn and hydroplanes across the lane, while another car is heading towards him from the other direction. He accelerates to avoid hitting it but then can't make the next turn, so he bolts through someone's lawn and launches towards a tree.
In that moment, images flood his mind: his father screaming at him for wrecking the car… the damage to the vehicle… the punishment… all of it.
As his car struck the tree, it spun around it, and then tumbled 260 feet off a cliff.
Meanwhile, his friend saw Chet's car fly off the cliff. He's balling his eyes out - thinking he's a goner. Until he sees Chet running up the hill towards him yelling, My car! My car!
Forget your car! I thought you were dead! his friend replies.
Remarkably, there was not even a cat scratch on him. How?
Chet's training kicked in. When the car rolled down the cliff, he bounced around the interior of the car, and focused on relaxing every muscle in his body. He knew if he tensed up he was going to be trouble. By relaxing his muscles, his bones were able to keep their flexibility.
After the incident Chet (who became a famous author and speaker) stated:
"The only reason I'm here is because of all the karate training"
His training taught him to:
Remain calm when others would freak out.
Taking action instead of freezing up
Relax when others would brace and tense up.
Now you don't have to find the nearest dojo and pursue a black belt – the same principle applies. Relaxing allows you to absorb the "impact" of stressful events. Whether navigating small ripples of stress or massive tidal waves, relaxing will allow you to skillfully ride the rough waters.
That's why it's critical to have daily rituals that put you at your best, the kind that allow you to charge into the day with confidence and centeredness – not overwhelm and anxiety. And keep doing those rituals day-after-day so that your "training" will kick in at the right time as well.
Not just if you have time.
But as a standard for each day.
Because being at your best doesn't happen by accident.
We don't rise to our level of expectations;
we fall to our level of training
-Archilochus

4 Fear-Conquering Lessons From Swimming With Sharks
William Winram is a Canadian world-record free diver.
One day, he was spearfishing half-a-mile off the coast of Mexico when something nudged him. He turned to see a 1,000lb tiger shark - immediately he froze with fear…his heart thumping out of his chest… physically trembling… thinking to himself, I'm going to die. Because he learned these sharks were man-eaters.
He tosses a fish towards it as bait, but the shark doesn't go for it.
Then he accidently drops his spear because he's shaking so much, so he lunges to recover it - and the shark darts away.
Confused by the shark's response, he swims back to shore. The whole way back, the shark is swimming beside him, but keeping a set distance. If William swam closer, it would swim away. If he swam away, the shark would get closer - always keeping that "comfort zone" though. When he finally approached the shore, he dropped his gear and decided to try something radical.
He swam directly towards the animal and – immediately it swam away.
He realized this apex predator was not a mindless killing machine. Since then, he's been free diving with sharks (including Great Whites) to discover the truth about these feared predators.
Here are some of his lessons:
(Just like the shark swimming parallel to William back to shore, these lessons "swim" parallel to dealing with fear in general)
#1: It Looks for An Advantage
Even though Great Whites aren't the mindless killers movies like Jaws portray them as… they still are intelligent predators. The shark is always looking for an advantage, so when he swims with them, he always has a partner helping him - on the lookout for other sharks.
#2: Keep Eye Contact
Winram says, another way to counter this is eye contact. If the shark knows it's spotted, it feels its advantage is wiped out. Likewise, fear tends to deflate and lose much of its power when you identify it and stare it down for what it really is.
#3: Know When To Be Afraid
According to Winram, when you can see the black eyes of a shark (the kind that stare into your soul like a house cat) that's when you have nothing to worry about. On the flip side, when it covers its eyes with a membrane (to protect it) – that's when it's about to strike. With fear, it's about figuring out when to fear and what not to fear.
#4: They're honest.
Winram says:
Great whites are honest, there's no bullsh*t.
Fear is pretty honest as well; it shows us where we are bumping up against are limitations. Whether they are imagined or not, they still feel real to us. It shows us where our current limits are.
"Current limits"
Because they don't have to stay at that level forever.
P.S. One of the most inspiring examples of this is Robert Downey Jr.'s journey and how he reinvented himself after huge setbacks.
Hollywood Actor Rumbles With His Anxiety & Nervousness
Hugh Jackman is known for his iconic role as Wolverine (X-Men Movies), the mutant with blades emerging from his knuckles.
He's also movies such as Les Miserables, The Greatest Showman, The Prestige, Australia, Prisoners and many more.
But like many achievers, his challenges are in the dark.
For example, when Jackman was 14-years-old, he hit a serious growth spurt - growing an entire foot in one year. One day, during a cricket match, he stretched up to catch a ball, twisted and passed out.
He had ripped out all the muscles from the base of his spine.
Since his bones were rapidly-growing, his muscles couldn't keep up. This left him with an injury that took two years of rehab. This forced him to build his core strength –later giving him an advantage on Broadway and in the more physical roles like X-men.
But X-men was not smooth parasailing either.
When the first X-men movie rolled out, Jackman didn't even get the part as Wolverine. Russell Crowe was the director's first pick but he turned it down - so they hired Dougray Scott instead. But due to a scheduling kerfuffle and a motorcycle accident he dropped out.
That's when Jackman was called in.
At that point, the crew was already four weeks into filming. So he felt behind and uncomfortable with all the pressure to catch up - sensing his anxiety, actor Ian McKellen (who played Magneto) pulled him aside and told him,
Your stuff is good.
Even if it feels uncomfortable,
that can sometimes be right.
He's kept this white pearl of wisdom with him over the years:
If I look back, I think of some of my more successful things,
[They] have been things I've been most nervous about.
And probably most unsure of when I began.
-Hugh Jackman
When he was hustling with Les Miserables, a similar anxiety swept over him. He went to a friend for help, who told him:
Embrace the fear. The fear is good.
It's got you where you are today. It makes you work.
The fear sometimes makes you work really hard.
[And when you walk out on stage, thank that fearful side, and then let your confident and strong side take the stage instead.]
Because both sides have their place.
And serve a purpose.

2016-2018 : Débuts en Formule 4

En 2017, après une première saison en monoplace, Caldwell fait ses débuts en ADAC Formula 4 avec l'équipe ADAC Berlin-Brandenburg e.V. Caldwell n'était cependant pas éligible pour les points en raison du fait qu'il était un pilote invité. Son meilleur résultat cette année-là est une 17e place au Nürburgring. En 2018, il signe temps plein chez Prema Powerteam où il termine septième avec 125 points, montant quatre fois sur le podium signant même une victoire à Oschersleben.

Cette même année, il participe au Championnat d'Italie de Formule 4 avec l'écurie Mücke Motorsport. Des quinze courses auxquelles il a participé, il a enregistré dix points, ce qui l'a aidé à se retrouver onzième au championnat, à 273 points du champion Marcus Armstrong. En 2018, Caldwell est passé chez Prema où il a enregistré onze podiums, dont quatre victoires. Caldwell a été l'un des deux pilotes à remporter les 3 courses en un week-end. Il l'a fait à Vallelunga; Enzo Fittipaldi y est également parvenu à Misano. Caldwell termine troisième au classement des pilotes.

2019 : Formule 3 régionale
Caldwell cours toujours pour Prema au Championnat d'Europe de Formule 3 régionale 2019 où il termine cinquième du championnat, avec une victoire à Imola et cinq podiums, étant battu par ses coéquipiers Frederik Vesti et Enzo Fittipaldi, qui ont terminé aux deux premières positions.

2020-2021 : Formule 3 FIA

En janvier, Caldwell est annoncé par Trident comme l'un de leurs trois pilotes pour la saison 2020 de Formule 3.Cette première saison est difficile; il ne marque que 18 points et terminé seizième au classement des pilotes, derrière ses coéquipiers plus expérimentés David Beckmann et Lirim Zendeli. En 2021, Caldwell retourne chez Prema Racing pour la saison saison 2021, où il fait équipe avec Arthur Leclerc et Dennis Hauger. Il remporte la deuxième course de la saison à Barcelone, après avoir hérité de la tête de la course lorsque Hauger et Matteo Nannini se sont heurtées dans l'avant-dernier tour. Caldwell résiste aux attaques de Victor Martins dans le dernier tour pour remporter sa première victoire en F3. Alors que la manche suivante n'a pas été aussi réussie, avec seulement neuf points marqués sur le week-end, le Britannique est revenu sur le podium au Red Bull Ring, où il a terminé deuxième de la première course et troisième de la troisième course, où il a dépassé cinq voitures sur le chemin de la tribune. Le podium suivant de Caldwell a eu lieu lors de la course suivante à Budapest, avec une promotion à la deuxième place après que le vainqueur initial Lorenzo Colombo a reçu une pénalité de cinq secondes. Cependant, après un dernier tiers de saison décevant, dans lequel il n'a pas réussi à terminer sur le podium, Caldwell a terminé sa campagne huitième au classement des pilotes, deux places devant son coéquipier Leclerc.

2021-2022 : Formule 2

Le 24 Novembre 2021, Campos Racing annonce le recrutement de Caldwell aux côtés du suisse Ralph Boschung pour les deux dernières manches de la saison 2021 de Formule 2 à la place de Beckmann. Il prend ensuite part aux tests d'après saison aux côtés de Boschung fin octobre. L'année suivante, les deux pilotes prennent de nouveau parts aux essais d'avant-saison avant d'être confirmés pour disputer la saison 2022. Durant la première moitié de saison il est nettement dominé par son coéquipier suisse qui marque tous les points de son écurie. Il faut attendre la manche autrichienne du Red Bull Ring pour que enfin Caldwell marque ses premiers points dans la discipline en terminant sixième de la course principale.

Innovation Saves Lives Amid Darkest Moments of COVID-19 Pandemic
Nov 17, 2021 | Business
"Effective communication is paramount and it works best when combined with trust. When there is a pandemic or another crisis that affects the human race, we should use our capabilities to the best of our ability and find solutions – together." – Dr. Ankit Bharat, Chief of Thoracic Surgery, Northwestern Medicine
Published by Seraph Books, Howard, Ohio is pleased to announce the new release of "Innovation Amid Despair: Restoring Hope and Time," by Ankit Bharat.
Dr. Ankit Bharat is a tenured Professor of Surgery, Chief of thoracic surgery, and director of the Canning Thoracic Institute at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago. Work by Dr. Bharat and his team resulted in the first successful double lung transplant in the United States to save the life of a young COVID-19 patient on June 5, 2020. His research team published some of the early scientific papers that informed the medical community about the importance of lung transplantation for patients with severe COVID-19. This procedure provides a second chance for critically ill patients affected by COVID-19 and similar infection who have no other options for survival. Dr. Bharat and his team have helped other centers successfully perform transplants for similar COVID-19 patients.
Dr. Bharat received his training at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India, and Washington University in St. Louis. At Northwestern Medicine he performs lung transplantation and surgeries for patients with cancers in the chest cavity. Dr. Bharat leads an NIH-funded scientific research program as the Harold & Margaret Method Endowed Chair and teaches at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Bharat was part of the coronavirus task force leading many initiatives such as the ECMO transportation for critically ill patients at his institution. He conducted "warm" autopsies and operated on numerous COVID-19 patients.
About the Book: As COVID-19 and its variants Delta, Lambda, and Mu plagued the world with an unimaginable period of death and despair, the world raced to innovate and save lives. Dr. Ankit Bharat, Chief Thoracic Surgeon, and his team worked to find solutions to combat this virus, fastidiously pioneering the double lung transplant procedure for COVID-19 patients with no other hope of survival – which has been adopted globally.
"Innovation Amid Despair" unveils heart-wrenching and awe-inspiring stories about the extraordinary crisis told by patients and their loved ones. These accounts display how innovation can be accomplished in the darkest, most desperate moments by genuinely caring about people – restoring hope and the need for time – to reconcile conflicts.
This prolific story spans many dimensions beyond medical discoveries, revealing damning consequences of political dividedness, conflicting narratives, and public distrust, while illustrating the importance of mutual harmony and collaboration so that we are better prepared – for the next catastrophe.
Foreword By:
"Doing lung transplants for COVID-19 patients – that's interesting and it's a wonderful contribution. But what he has accomplished in his research career is far more impactful than his great significance for thoracic surgery."
– Alexander Patterson, MD
Performed One of the World's First Successful Double Lung Transplants.
Patient Stories Include but are not limited to:
"Politics aside, the virus is real. It happened to me, and it can happen to you. If you don't care to protect yourself, do it for others around you. Just be a human."
– Mayra Ramirez,
First COVID-19 Patient to Receive a Double Lung Transplant in the United States
"When faced with a life-threatening situation, your resources may become futile. Your family means everything."

Benno's Boy "Loves Stable Life" (Albury, Monday)
There are few racehorses with the longevity of Benno's Boy ($4.60 on TAB) who will attempts consecutive victories at Albury on Monday.
Years of racing for 161 starts haven't slowed down the eight-year-old whose endurances stands him out among the horses leading trainer Trevor Sutherland has prepared from his Wagga base.
"I have had a fair few horses race on for years and have a lot of starts, but none have had as many starts as Bennos," Sutherland said.

"I call him my weekly cheque because he is always thereabouts. He hadn't won for more than 30 starts before he won at Wagga last start, but he had finished in the top three many times."
Benno's Boy will line-up in the Benchmark 58 (1000m) on a heavy 8-rated track which will suit the veteran, according to Sutherland.
"It's a nice race again for him and he can handle the wet as well. He fronts up every start and loves stable life so he is ready to go again," Sutherland said.
Benno's Boy has also won 16 times and been placed on 50 occasions at multiple tracks across country NSW. Sutherland puts Benno's Boy's lengthy racing career down to his training routine and soundness.
"He loves stable life and is very sound. He doesn't gallop much between starts, but races often and he always gives his best," he explained.
"It would be nice if he could get to 20 wins and 200 starts before he retires. You don't see many horses with that record these days."
Sutherland had two winners at Narrandera on Saturday and will have eight starters at Albury including another two veterans, Willy White Socks ($19) and Gentleman Max ($4.20).
"Willy White Socks is as good as I have had him and old Max will be hard to beat if the track stays wet," he said.
On the flip side, Sutherland will start debutant two-year-olds Expect A Hero ($7.50) and Fell's Hero ($17) in the Maiden (900m).
The newcomers have trialled and their chances will depend on the improvement they have taken from the experience, according to their trainer.
The leading trainer's best chance could be Royal Fighter ($4) in the Maiden (1500m). Royal Fighter has raced three times for Sutherland for two placings including a last start second at Wagga.
"He was back in the field and flew late to be narrowly beaten. If he runs up to that effort he will be hard to beat," Sutherland said.

South Carolina Woman Files Subsys Lawsuit Accusing Insys Pharmaceuticals of Fraud
Published on November 10, 2017 by Laurie Villanueva
A woman from South Carolina who has struggled with opioid addiction is pursuing a Subsys lawsuit against Insys Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of the powerful fentanyl spray.
In an interview with Greenville's 7News, Angela Cantone maintained that her fentanyl addiction came unknowingly, after her doctor prescribed Subsys Spray to help her manage pain stemming from a hip injury.
Cantone says she was never told that Subsys was not approved for her condition. The fentanyl spray, which is many times more powerful than morphine or heroin, is only approved to treat cancer patients suffering from intolerable levels of pain.
"I was just told that this is a great new medication that was going to give me a new lease on life," Canton said.
"It wasn't until after I stopped the medication that I found out what it was intended to treat," she continued.
Insys Accused of Turning Good People into Addicts for Profit
Cantone used Subsys Spray for two years.
"I was looking forward to when my medication would come each month," Cantone said. "I physically could feel when I would go a day without the medication…While you're in that cycle, you don't see it as being addicted to something because you're just living."
Before long, Cantone says she was suffering side effects from the drug, including fainting and stroke-like episodes that would incapacitate an entire side of her body.
She had no idea that Subsys was behind her problems until another doctor suggested they could be drug related.
Now focused on staying sober, Cantone is suing Insys Pharmaceuticals, as well as the doctor who prescribed Subsys. Her complaint alleges that Insys targeted doctors who were not oncologists and paid them kickbacks (disguised as speaking fees) to prescribe Subsys to non-cancer patients.
Cantone's doctor, Aathi Thiyaga, was one of the company's highest paid speakers, earning more than $200,000 over a two-year period.
"They took good working individuals, good parents, good spouses, and turned them into drug addicts just to put money in their pockets," Cantone said.
Her Subsys lawsuit seeks compensation for medical negligence, general negligence, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, common law fraud, a claim under the South Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, aiding and abetting, and loss of consortium.
Insys Facing Federal Charges Over Subsys Marketing, Founder Arrested
Cantone is not alone in making these allegations.
Last month, the founder of Insys Pharmaceuticals was arrested on federal racketeering and conspiracy charges related to the marketing of Subsys Spray.
Federal prosecutors allege that John Kapoor and six former Insys executives conspired to bribe and pay kickbacks, including "speaker fees and honoraria for marketing events, food and entertainment" to doctors who wrote a large number of Subsys prescriptions, often for patients who did not have cancer.
Kapoor and the six executives have also been accused of conspiring to mislead and defraud health insurance providers reluctant to approve payment for the highly-addictive fentanyl spray when it was prescribed for non-cancer patients.
Following Kapoor's arrest, Insys announced it was cooperating with the Department of Justice and had set aside $150 million for a possible settlement.
In August 2015, Insys agreed to pay $1.1 million to the state of Oregon to resolve allegations that it deceptively promoted Subsys spray for non-cancer conditions. A similar lawsuit was settled by the state of New Hampshire in January 2017. Several other states are pursuing their own Subsys Spray lawsuits.

Olympics: 2011 "Miracle Pine" on Tokyo 2020 torch itinerary
, Kyodo News , 02:53 a.m.
TOKYO – The route for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic torch relay, which aspires to pass cultural and world heritage sites as well as landmarks from recent natural disasters, was revealed to Kyodo News Friday.
Because the Tokyo Olympics are employing a theme of rebuilding and renewal in the aftermath of Japan's recent natural disasters, various sites related to the March 11, 2011, northeastern Japan earthquake and tsunami such as Iwate Prefecture's "Miracle Pine" monument will be included in the route.
The Miracle Pine is a monument to a 27.7-meter tree that withstood the 2011 tsunami when the rest of its 70,000-tree forest was destroyed. Although the tree has since died, it has been restored artificially and remains a symbol of hope for the region.
The route planners also plan a torch to visit Kumamoto Castle in Kumamoto Prefecture. The castle suffered damage in a series of strong earthquakes in 2016 that wreaked havoc on the southwestern main island of Kyushu.
The Atomic Bomb Dome in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is among the world heritage sites to be included, while cultural heritage sites on the intended route will include Mie Prefecture's Ise Shrine.
The torch relay will depart next March 26 from the J-Village, in Fukushima Prefecture. Japan's national soccer training center, used as a base of operations for cleanup in the wake of the 2011 nuclear disaster, has recently resumed its original function as a sports facility.
The 121-day relay will conclude on July 24, when the Olympic flame makes its entrance at Tokyo's New National Stadium during the opening ceremony.

The United Service Organizations (USO) has been committed to supporting the moral and welfare of service members across the world since 1941.
TKS has been a USO partner for over two decades and is currently an elite "USO Worldwide Strategic Partner", donating resources and funds valued at 1/2 million dollars per year. TKS is the only firm based outside of the U.S. to hold this honor.

Additionally, USO centers across Europe feature modern internet cafés, free WiFi, and live American television programming which are all provided by TKS. Together with the USO, TKS is dedicated to bringing service members and their families closer, by providing and donating the most advanced telecommunication services available.
We are extraordinarily grateful for the steadfast and enduring support we receive from our longtime USO Worldwide Strategic Partner, TKS.
In addition to direct USO Center support including free Internet and telephone access for our military to connect with family back home, our USO Centers, Europe-wide, to include at Incirlik Turkey and in more than a half dozen military training locations in eastern Europe are now equipped with, state of the art, easyTV.
This system provides the capability to stream TV directly from the United States, allowing service members and their families visiting our USO Centers or deployed in eastern Europe to watch their favorite American TV shows, sporting events, movies and up-to-date news.
We can also rely on TKS to continue their very generous support of our USO military community "Sun & Fun Day" family events, executed in Grafenwoehr, Kaiserslautern, Stuttgart and Wiesbaden military communities. These important end of summer family events bring thousands of military families together to enjoy a fun filled carnival-like day with games, live entertainment and a great summer BBQ.
Simply said, our relationship with TKS is an absolute goodness multiplier. Ultimately, TKS's untiring partnership helps us take the very best care of our military and their families by bringing home that much closer. Thank you TKS!

The Maldivian government says it will rescind the notice sent by Male' City Council to tenants at Sinamale' and Male' Hiyaa housing units in Male' City and Vilimale' to make one-off payment for the reminder of their lease amount.
The Cabinet, this Sunday, advised President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom to transfer the mandate for the Sinamale' and Male' Hiyaa housing units from the City Council to the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure.
City Council had sent notice to tenants at Sinamale' and Male' Hiyaa housing units to pay the reminder of their lease, maintenance fees and fines for overdue lease payments in a one-off payment within three months.
Some of the tenants have been sent notice to pay hundreds of thousands of Maldivian Rufiyaa.
In a press conference held at the President's Office this Sunday, Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, Dr. Mohamed Muizzu said the City Council has spent years without collecting the lease.
Muizzu said the government has made the decision to rescind the notice, and arrange for more convenient payment options for the tenants.
"Forcing citizens to make a one-off lease payment in such an alarming manner is undue use of the opportunities available under decentralization. Such actions will not be accepted by this administration. We will not allow such injustice, coercion or distress to affect citizens," said Muizzu.
