Visiting Dad's old home
October 13, 2019 CrazyChineseFamily	9 Comments
Last weekend we managed it to take a trip to Poland. We had been talking about such visit for several years but never got around it as so many things got in between. Our destination was the Island of Wolin (Wollin in German) and we stayed in the town Międzyzdroje (Misdroy). This town, also called The Pearl of the Baltic, is a very popular holiday destination during summer time due to its wonderful beach and these days every second building is some kind of hotel. We didn't do much in that town as we had other plans ahead. Together with my little family, my brother and my father we drove 10km further to the village Kołczewo (Kolzow), the birth place of my father, to see whether anything was left from the old family buildings.
At the beach in Międzyzdroje
Now let's say that we were happy to see that in Międzyzdroje a lot of the old buildings were renovated and looked once again like the old times, however in Kołczewo things were a bit different. As this village is no tourist spot nothing has been pretty much done there since the war ended. Sure some apartment complexes had been build some when in the 70's / 80's but the old structures are just falling apart. It was no problem for us to find the old canopy road to get to the general direction of father's birth place. While driving we only had to look out for some higher hill with some buildings and there we saw the old house on the left. The poor road set with concrete blocks wasn't the best for cars but we managed it up and parked the cars on top of the hill. The house was a mess, it had further degraded since we had visited in the early 90's and strange add-ons had been built to the structure.
The old family home, I couldn't take pictures of the backside as it was in just too terrible condition
On the property of the old family home we could still see the foundation of the engine powered mill my grandfather had built in 1938. Besides the foundation there was an old millstone propped against a tree. Nothing was left of the windmill on top of the hill or the bakery next to the main house. In the distance we could see great-great-great uncle's farm from whom my great-grand father bought the property for the mill and houses. Down the street there was also the day-laborer's house (also belonging to my grandfather) standing now divided into two half's. One of house half was actually in really good condition with even solar panels on the roof. It was probably the best building in the entire village at this point.
Village center, all falling apart
We also went to the village center to visit the church as the old German graveyard was there on its property. Back in 2007 someone had still taken some pictures of some of the graves for documentation however by now it had been all plowed and it was a potatoes and vegetable garden plus little playground. Sadly we could not find any further information about my ancestors from that place any longer. Behind the church we found one single old gravestone leaning against a tree and a lot of the former Lutheran church equipment piled up and rotting away.
The church where my father was baptized in 1941/1942
Even though we could not find anything about our family history it was still nice to see some of the old buildings standing. I also asked some of the village residents for information but no one had any idea as they were all born after the 60s and thus had not even a clue about the former church ruins on a little hill in the village center with a graveyard which also had been demolished around that time. For my father is was probably a good feeling to see his old home once again even though it was upsetting to see it in such terrible state these days. We certainly plan on travelling there again in the next years; after all it is only 3 1/2 hours away by car (in case the traffic is playing along).

AutumnAshbough says:
My mom's side of the family owned a southern plantation. People are turning those plantations into wedding venues, which I find kind of horrifying. If I went there, it would be more as an act of penance for my white supremacist ancestors.
CrazyChineseFamily says:
What a wonderful idea to make out of a place of slavery a wedding venue. Wonder how big the outrage would be here to make a former holocaust camp a wedding venue…
I really don't know how people can have such strange ideas. Those old plantations should be a site of penance as you said, something to show how sick and wrong the past was and how white people treated others
Well, the slave quarters were, of course, removed (easily done as they were rickety shacks with bare floors at best). It's only just now that Black American activists have demanded that they be returned and added to the tours of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson's homes.
Germany has done a much better job admitting its wrongs and trying to do better than the United States.
Germany did better but sadly there are still people out here who think that the holocaust never happened and Jews are responsible for everything (See last weeks nazi terrorist who killed two people here after failing to storm a synagogue as the door was too thick for his self build guns)
But at least Germany didn't put up statues of Joseph Goebbels or Goring and say they were all about "heritage and not hate." I don't know how long it will be before all the Confederate traitors' names are removed from schools in the U.S. And there are so many streets and statues in Virginia alone…
beowulf says:
Interesting trip and thanks for recording/sharing it with us. Yes, I have visited the places my grandparents and dad came from. It was overall a nice experience … being where they could have walked, etc. 😉
Same we had, it was a nice experience to see the old buildings and the village. My mother told me when they went there in the 90s my father's aunt still lived and showed them around, she knew who lived in each building back in the day
Behind the Story says:
I enjoyed seeing photos from your visit. Even though some buildings were in bad condition, it was good that they were still standing.
The house where my mother was born is still standing and in fair condition. But my grandparents and others from that generation were immigrants or newcomers to the region and moved around a lot. My sister has investigated city records and found some of the old houses. The city where I now live began as a settlement in 1870, so, as you can see, the history of this region is young. Only the Native Americans have been here long.
Indeed in case of immigrants the "past" starts at the places where they first settled and that is not even that long time ago. I could trace the first of my father's ancestors back to the 17th century building a settlement on the same island where my father was born (settlement as in opening up the island's center rather than having just all the villages at the coast and rivers).
Anything before that is unknown but then again it is nice to find some kind of trace where that part of the family came from and how long they had been inhabitants on that very same island

B.C.'s Mount Polley Mine to suspend operations
Company blames declining copper prices for May shutdown
Imperial Metals announced Monday it will suspend operations at Mount Polley Mine near Likely at the end of May, 2019 due to falling copper prices.
The suspension will impact between 110 and 115 union employees, said Dan Will, business agent for United Steelworkers Local 1-2017. Many of those impacted workers live in Williams Lake and the surrounding area.
"It's not good for the community, it's not good for the workers, not good for anybody" said Will, who received the news via a phone call Monday from mine manager Dale Reimer.
"It was news to the union but we've known that the price of copper has been going down."
In a news release, Imperial Metals said the suspension plan includes milling of low grade stockpiles which is targeted to extend operations to the spring shutdown. There will be no impact to the mine's ongoing environmental monitoring and remediation program in relation to the 2014 spill, the company confirmed.
Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said about 250 people will be impacted in total.
"About two thirds of our workforce is unionized and about a third aren't," he said Tuesday.

During a public meeting held in Williams Lake in December, Lyn Anglin, vice president of environmental affairs said the on-going dredging of the Springer Pit, which was the temporary holding facility following the breach, continued to be delayed. She said they had hoped they would be able to use the Springer Pit to resume mining for new material.
Kynoch said while the inability to mine the Springer Pit for more material is a factor, it is the price of copper that drove the decision to suspend operations.
"If the price of copper had been over $3 we could have found a way to keep going but at less than $3 it doesn't work," he said. "We just couldn't figure out a way that we could get through this year. It still has some good years left but it needs some capital to get to those years. There's more ore but we need to move some stuff out before we can get to it."
Reacting Cariboo Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said the suspension of operations will be devastating to workers, the community and families.
"This affects over a 1,000 people when you consider suppliers, truck drivers and schools, it will affect everybody in some way in business," Barnett said. "It's a sad thing when anything like this happens."
While the price of copper is down, Barnett said business are struggling to survive added costs such as the new employer tax, carbon tax and income tax.
"Even the permitting process for permitting these days is an absolute nightmare," Barnett added. "I'm just very concerned about the atmosphere out there for all resource industries in British Columbia."
Mount Polley mine is located in south-central British Columbia, 56 kilometres northeast of Williams Lake.
The Mount Polley mine is owned and operated by Mount Polley Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of Imperial Metals.

OLIVIA LUNN reviews This Must Be The Place at the VAULT Festival.
Ripe with millennial cynicism, This Must Be The Place deconstructs the act of journeying and the motives for doing so amidst the suffocation of technology. Fittingly performed at the VAULT Festival under Waterloo Station, a show about individuals on the fringe of society is given the perfect introduction by the layers of graffiti that line the entrance tunnels protruding from Leake Street. With a fresh and captivating style that can feel both conversational and at times even like spoken word, collaborators Brad Birch and Kenneth Emson confront the audience with questions of identity, and its construction through our surrounding environment and people, through journeying, and through technology. All this is played out through the lenses of two separate yet interconnected stories. One is static: Matty (Hamish Rush) and Tate (Feliks Mathur) pass time reminiscing and speculating whilst waiting to embark upon a life-changing journey to London; the other is restless: Adam (James Cooney) is a disillusioned and grieving Londoner driven to Manchester to revisit the grave of his late father, ignoring his girlfriend Lily (Molly Roberts) and abandoning his phone.
Despite its initially jarring stop-start rhythm, as the focus switches between the two narratives, the play progressively picks up serious pace and the audience becomes immersed in each story. The two separate narrative spheres never explicitly engage with one another, but the four actors remain onstage throughout. This sense of connectedness within a world that sometimes seems distantly anonymous is communicated through the intimacy of the pit style stage, the communal benches for seating, as well as through the actors' sustaining eye contact with the audience throughout.

Underwriting the two unfolding narratives is the looming presence of technology: Adam's tale begins with him dropping his phone into the Thames, and explicitly comparing the loss to the "amputation of a limb or the loss of a parent". This hyperbolic but nonetheless poignant moment maintains a certain unifying significance throughout Adam's story and the wider piece. In Adam's storyline, the absence of this vital component of modern life goes on to mutate into a haunting sense of guilt on account of his attempts to go off the radar, and as he reels off repeated voicemail messages, his tone ranges from meek and hushed to exasperated and repellent.
The absence of technology within the story is reflected in the staging: with noticeably minimal sound and lighting, the stage space was clearly intended to be a technology-free area. Indeed, Adam comically remarks upon the lack of phone signal in The Vaults, reminding the audience of their own dependence on technology. The narrative is consistently interrupted by Adam's random outbursts of "like, comment, share, reply, tag", another reminder of the inescapable presence of social media. Despite Adam's wilful renunciation of the physical object he still cannot remove himself from the virtual realm most all of us now inhabit. In contrast, the only prop used in Tate and Matty's ballad is a phone. A handful of texts received by Matty conjure up the presence of something terrifying yet hopeful – their ticket to life in London. However, miscommunication, ambiguity and fear ensue, leaving them vulnerable.
On another tack, This Must Be The Place repeatedly returns to family and parenthood. Whilst Tate intends to leave his current home as his ex-girlfriend is pregnant and he is unwilling to bear the responsibility of parenthood, Adam journeys to his father's grave in attempt to come to terms with his grief. What pushes Tate away from one place, pulls Adam back to another, and their intertwined narratives reinforce the idea of an interconnected society; as the title insists, an individual's state of mind is often shared by many, a common 'place'.
Rush and Mathur skilfully portray the relationship between Matty and Tate, bouncing off one another in seamlessly scripted scenes to produce an energetic and moving performance. Cooney and Roberts deftly navigate a relationship much less at ease — largely tetchy and difficult. Lily is something of an accessory to Adam's part and this inequality somewhat frustrates the fluidity of the performance.
This Must Be The Place succeeds in its direct confrontation with ideas of identity and technology through its stripped-back, unembellished rawness, and the cast's delicate and sensitive portrayals of its characters. The characters are defined by their searching for new beginnings, something that might bring them some fulfilment, by their journeying. Is there a 'place' where we locate our identities? Or are we shaped by our journeys rather than their destinations? The play opens with the statement "This is not a London story. No. None of that here." Nevertheless it feels local and particular, whilst it refreshingly steers clear of the clichés of young London we so often see in theatre.
This Must Be The Place played from 8th-12th Feb at the VAULT Festival (Jan 25th – Mar 5th2017). Find more information here.

Greens NSW response to Stop CSG Sydney Questionnaire
Posted on February 11, 2015 by maxphillips	Leave a comment
These are the answers of the Greens NSW to a questionaire sent by the fantastic campaigners at Stop CSG Sydney asking all political parties for their positions ahead of the upcoming NSW election on 28 March 2015.
Do you support the coal seam gas industry being rolled out in NSW?
The Greens NSW are unequivocally opposed to coal seam gas and are the only party currently in Parliament advocating for a complete and permanent ban on this toxic industry. The Greens NSW have consistently argued and campaigned, both in parliament and with the community, against the roll out of coal seam gas and we will continue to do so until our land, water and communities are protected.
Does your party support hydraulic fracturing ('fracking') in Gloucester, Pilliga or Camden?
The Greens NSW want a complete and permanent ban on fracking because of the unacceptable risks it poses to our groundwater systems. There is mounting evidence from around the world that fracking can lead to contaminated and depleted aquifers and directly threatens the quality of water available for drinking or agriculture. The Greens NSW want the CSG operations at Gloucester, the Pilliga and Camden to be stopped immediately before any further damage is done to our land, water or communities.
Do you have concerns about the health risks associated with CSG mining?
There is mounting evidence both in Australia and around the world that CSG mining presents significant risks to public health especially in nearby communities. The Greens NSW are concerned that the current level of assessment and monitoring of the health impacts of CSG is inadequate and this is backed up by groups such as the Public Health Association and Doctors for the Environment. We should be particularly alarmed that a recent article in the Medical Journal of Australia has made it clear that the health burdens of CSG "are likely to fall disproportionately on rural communities, the young and the elderly." The Greens NSW believe that at the very least CSG should be prohibited within 2 km of all residential dwellings, water catchments, agricultural land and sensitive environmental places and that health impact statements should be mandatory for all CSG projects.
Do you have concerns about the impact of CSG mining on water resources and agricultural land?
The Greens NSW have stood with communities around the state in opposing the roll out of toxic gasfields. CSG threatens to pollute and deplete our drinking and agricultural water and we have already seen a number of serious pollution incidents, including one case where an aquifer in the Pilliga was contaminated with Uranium and other heavy metals. The roll out of CSG mining involves hundreds of wells and associated infrastructure taking over the landscape and will irreversibly change our farmland and rural communities.
If you are elected, will you (and your party) support and campaign for a ban on CSG mining in Sydney's water catchment?
The Greens NSW have campaigned for the cancellation of all CSG licenses across Sydney and we have introduced legislation which would ban all mining, including CSG, within 2km of drinking water catchments including Sydney's. We will continue to support and campaign for the protection of these sensitive areas.
If you are elected, will you (and your party) support and advocate for a Royal Commission into the CSG industry to determine if it is safe?
The Greens NSW believe that it is already clear that CSG is unsafe and should be permanently banned everywhere, however a Royal Commission would be an important forum to publically and forensically scrutinise the industry and as such we strongly support and advocate for the establishment of one. The Greens initiated and Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham was the Deputy Chair of two inquiries into coal seam gas in the last term of government.
Will you (and your party) support the call for the license covering greater metropolitan Sydney (PEL 463) to be cancelled (extinguished) to provide certainty for 4 million people?
The Greens NSW have campaigned and advocated at every opportunity, both in Parliament and the community, for this license to be cancelled and we will continue to do so. It is a sad indictment on the Labor Party that this license was ever issued and an ever sadder indictment on the Liberal and National Parties that they have not cancelled it in 4 years of government.

QUESTION: I was wondering if the whole line of Bushido swords is as good as the Wind Dragon sword. I have been considering getting one of them, but i wasnt sure if it would behave as well as the Wind Dragon. I would also like to thank you for making such a great guide for helping people buy swords, especially for beginners like me.
ANSWER: Actually, they seem to be improving! The secondary bevel is gone, and the weight and balance improved - so overall, they are definitely good value for money.
Not serious user swords, but not bad for a first time buyer on a budget.

Second invasive green crab found in Puget Sound
Carcinus maenas. Photo: Brent Wilson (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) https://www.flickr.com/photos/59048895@N06/5409329320/
Last month, Puget Sound Institute senior writer Christopher Dunagan's series on invasive species in Puget Sound highlighted some of the state's worries about the arrival of the European green crab. The article noted that "the threat could be just around the corner." It could not have been more timely.
Several weeks after the article was published, volunteer crab spotters led by Washington Sea Grant made the region's first green crab sighting. The crab was found on San Juan Island and it led to a rapid response coordinated by the state to find out if others had spread further. This week, another crab has been spotted in Padilla Bay.
Emily Grason of Sea Grant said in a news release that there is little evidence so far of a larger population of the invasive crabs on San Juan Island, "but finding an additional crab at a site more than 30 miles away suggests that ongoing vigilance is critical across all Puget Sound shorelines."
Green crabs are listed as one of 12 aquatic animals of greatest concern by the Washington Invasive Species Council. They cause an estimated $22 million each year in damage to fisheries on the East Coast and have started to disrupt fisheries in California as well.
Scientists suspect that green crabs may be spreading because of warming temperatures, but little is known for sure. Green crab larvae can also survive in the ballast water of ships entering Puget Sound, a major—and at times unregulated—pathway for a variety of invasive species. You can catch up on green crabs and other emerging threats from invasive species in our August series in Salish Sea Currents.

Hypoxia-inducible lipid droplet-associated protein (HILPDA) has been shown to localize to lipid droplets in nutrient-responsive cell types such as hepatocytes and adipocytes. However, its role in the control of whole-body homeostasis is not known. We sought to measure cell-intrinsic and systemic stress responses in a mouse strain harboring whole-body Hilpda deficiency. We generated a genetically engineered mouse model of whole-body HILPDA deficiency by replacing the coding Hilpda exon with luciferase. We subjected the knockout animals to environmental stresses and measured whole-animal metabolic and behavioral parameters. Brown adipocyte precursors were isolated and differentiated in vitro to quantify the impact of HILPDA ablation in lipid storage and mobilization in these cells. HILPDA-knockout animals are viable and fertile, but show reduced ambulatory activity and oxygen consumption at regular housing conditions. Acclimatization at thermoneutral conditions abolished the phenotypic differences observed at 22°C. When fasted, HILPDA KO mice are unable to maintain body temperature and become hypothermic at 22°C, without apparent abnormalities in blood chemistry parameters or tissue triglyceride content. HILPDA expression was upregulated during adipocyte differentiation and activation in vitro; however, it was not required for lipid droplet formation in brown adipocytes. We conclude that HILPDA is necessary for efficient fuel utilization suggesting a homeostatic role for Hilpda in sub-optimal environments.


The Road Less Travelled: Together For Adoption. His Perfect Provision.
Together For Adoption. His Perfect Provision.
Tomorrow I head out to attend the Together For Adoption Conference in Austin Texas. Completely amazed at how the Lord provided a way for me to be able to attend. Months ago I shared with David that I felt I was supposed to go. He agreed and committed to paying my registration fee. A couple weeks later someone said they wanted to help make that happen as well and sent a $100 check to cover expenses. All that was left was my plane ticket. Someone else called and said they'd bought my ticket with their miles. It was amazing to be able to help this same friend buy her ticket with some left over miles I had. Only God! His provision is amazing, perfect, and I couldn't feel more blessed. As I pack my bags for Austin I'm giddy with excitement for the friends I'll finally get to meet, super excited to hear Karen Purvis speak among others, and above all I'm overwhelmed with the desire to do more for orphan care, advocacy, being the hands and feet of Christ. This is going to be an AMAZING weekend!
I can't wait to see many of you there!
In keeping with the provision topic yet probably deserving it's own blog post.... we received incredible news that we were approved for a matching grant. This grant was given through The James Fund in cooperation with Lifesong for orphans! Both amazing ministries providing grants to offset fees to unite families through adoption. We are in humble awe of our King and His gracious provision. In order to receive the matching funds we are asked to send support letters out in which donors are asked to send the funds through LifeSong who will then disburse them to our agency. We're working on this now. We have until November 9th to raise $3,000 in order to have it matched for a total of $6,000! This will complete our referral fee needs and put us a bit over towards the remaining $10,000 needed for our two trip travel expenses to pick up our little girl. Isn't that amazing?! God has provided just over $11,000 towards our adoption in the last five months. A huge amount. That's my King. He is faithful. We're humbled, grateful, and blessed beyond measure.
Can't wait to see you this week in Austin!
God is so good! I hope you have a great time on your trip!!!!
Have a great trip and do post some highlights from it for all of us who missed it! I am going to the Orphan Summit in Hershey, PA in Nov.--so excited to attend.

Data centres have become an essential part of business growth, with the rise of cloud technologies and IoT, changing the way in which markets operate and communicate with their audiences. At present, there are two to three large-scale data centres in Finland, including one owned by Google, but these centres have been built to focus solely on in-house business. Consequently, the new data centre by Telia Finland, named Telia Helsinki Datacenter will be unique through catering towards a multitude of different businesses. Juha Ekman, Director of the new data centre building project and Head of large production premises in Telia Finland explains: "In addition to in-house data centre and colocation functionality, this data centre will enable all kinds of different cloud services". The new site will become Finland's largest open data centre.
Delivering a broad spectrum of telecommunications and other services, Telia is a leading mobile phone operator in Finland and offers also various platform and IT services for corporate businesses. All these services will benefit from the new data centre and its capabilities and efficiency.
The company had no prior benchmark to follow in Finland - nor in Europe, as such a hybrid data centre had not been built before - but knew it must allow for the longest life cycle possible, be fully flexible and energy efficient. Ekman explains that previous data centres in Finland had been built mainly by international companies, with Finnish companies solely providing supporting roles. However, in the construction company's new data centre, Ekman states, "we wanted to make sure that we have sufficient international and local skills, in addition to the competence to design this mechanical and electrical (MEP) project". To this effect, the company has selected Royal HaskoningDVH from Netherlands and Granlund Oy from Finland, the biggest Finnish MEP designer in the country. "They are providing the MEP design together and it is good choice, because it combines both perspectives," Ekman adds.
Security, energy efficiency and sustainability have all become areas valued by the company's clients both locally and internationally. Designs for the data centre will conform to both national and international demands and requirements. Ekman acknowledges that the company "has to be ready for international customer security demands and requirements". The company has therefore also undergone significant risk analysis and overhaul of current systems to ensure the centre will be fully secure against any potential risks.
With completion date in early 2018, construction of the data centre is on schedule, yet Ekman stresses that this would not be the case without the right people on board, believing this to be the most important tool in current building work and continued focus on sustainable initiatives. He explains: "There must be enough of the right people, such as the project management team, data centre professionals and specialists", noting that this year will be challenging due to the company's aim to increase the number of construction workers from 100 to 300. The project management is provided by the experts of international consulting company Ramboll. However, Ekman is confident the data centre will provide long-term advantages to the region and drive increased business to the area, delivering regional long-term benefits.

Everything you need to know about The War of the Worlds by Rhum and Clay
The classic science fiction story, The War of the Worlds is playfully reimagined by Rhum and Clay Theatre Company and comes to Worthing's Connaught Theatre in May as part of Brighton Festival.
Here are a few interesting facts about the show:
Born in Paris at the École Jacques Lecoq in 2010 by Julian Spooner and Matthew Wells, Rhum and Clay Theatre Company is currently based in London at the New Diorama Theatre.
In 2018, co-Artistic Director Julian Spooner followed in the footsteps of the likes of Daniel Kitson, Monica Dolan and Phoebe Waller-Bridge by winning a coveted Stage Award for Acting Excellence for his performance in Mistero Buffo.
Rhum and Clay's productions are cinematic in the telling, playing with overlapping narratives, flashbacks and montages that cumulatively create beautiful, visually textured on-stage worlds.
The War of the Worlds by Rhum and Clay is a remarkable adaption inspired by H.G Well's novel which was published in 1897. It's one of the first fictional stories about a conflict between mankind and extra-terrestrial life.
In 1938, Orson Welles' created a thrilling radio drama adaptation of H.G Well's novel. When aired as part of a CBS drama series, the Mercury Theatre on the Air, it caused public panic amongst listeners, who were just getting used to the outside world invading their living rooms via the radio.
Fast forward to 2020, and the internet has replaced the radio as the medium through which we make sense of the world. Rhum and Clay connect Welles' broadcast with a modern-day podcaster who is researching an old family secret. The cast of four actors takes the audience on a journey through time, from an era when breaking news was shared live on-air to today's clickbait headlines and Twitter trends.
Playfully reimagined for the fake news generation the show will leave audiences questioning the grey area between truth and fiction and the dangerously seductive power of a good story.
The play takes the form of a series of news broadcasts, using a recording from the 1938 radio drama, as well as references to Steven Spielberg's 2005 film adaption.
In Welles' broadcast, the aliens land in Grover's Mill, New Jersey. For research, Julian Spooner visited the town, which has a café dedicated to the broadcast and a monument claiming that in 1938 up to 1 million people believe the Martian invasion was real.
The ever so popular tale has been adapted by the likes of Spielberg in 2005 and inspired Jeff Wayne's 1978 concept album. The latest TV adaption is BBC one's three-part series starring Eleanor Tomlinson, Rafe Spall and Robert Carlyle.

How The Heck Did I Become A Landlord?
Hope all is well, and your Holiday spirit is brimming over the top!
OK, I certainly agree, the title of this post may be silly, but the topic is anything but silly.
Amy Hoak did a great job addressing the "Accidental Landlords" in her story for the WSJ. Hoak defined one such landlord as "a landlord not by choice but because of circumstances beyond control", namely, the real-estate crash, in which this particular homeowner was suddenly faced with a choice: "sell for $100,000 less than what she paid, or hold on and hope that prices recover." She chose to hold on, rent the property, and thus, became an "Accidental Landlord". The chaos that ensued was a nightmare, that was harassing neighbors, and made complaints about everything from loud music to dust on her mailbox.
"Becoming a landlord when a property proves difficult to sell is also a gamble that housing prices will rebound fairly soon, and that the ultimate sale price will more than cover expenses incurred in the meantime.", says Hoak, but with that gamble also comes legal responsibilities, expenses, and "unforeseen headaches"
Lisa Eckert, a property manager for Coldwell Banker Bain, in Kirkland, Wash, commented in Hoak's article that she thinks we will see "a lot more owners becoming landlords" due to the economy, and says that people are "turning to renting out as the last-ditch effort". For example, Rick Sharga, executive vice president of Santa Ana, Calif.-based Carrington Mortgage Holdings LLC, says that rents are rising and there are millions of potential home buyers who are unable to qualify for mortgages.
If you find yourself at the threshold of becoming an "Accidental Landlord", there are some tips that were shared that can help you survive, such as high costs (such as taxes, insurance, possible homeowner association dues, maintenance, etc.). For some landlords, Hoak writes that they might be better off hiring a Property Manager. Basically, a Project Manager, who will handle the maintenance, along with collecting the rent and other related services to managing the property, all for a fee that varies regionally and locally.
Some of the additional tips that will help both new and seasoned landlords survive, include having a strong and enforceable contract, as well as full documentation of all correspondence, expenses, etc, should they ever need paperwork to bolster the reason for an eviction.
My favorite quote from Hoak's piece came from Jerry Arnold, who has been renting out a condo he owns in Seattle since 2009, and he said the following about renters; "Nobody treats a property like an owner".
Mr. Arnold, you are correct. However, there is one other group of people out there that also will treat a property like an owner; tenant-buyers, who are signed on to a Rent to Own contract. Basically, why just rent out a home that you can't sell? Why not rent it out with an option to buy, or Rent to Own?
Does that make sense? What do you think about that statement?

From Foreclosure To Eviction...Why So Long?
A major trend that is (sadly) happening all around us is the foreclosure process, which entails a long and drawn-out process which usually ends in the eviction of the current homeowners...or not!
Today, let's focus on the "or not!", and see what is really going on out there.
A recent CNN story written by Les Christie, titled, "Squatter Nation: 5 years with no mortgage payment", examined this in detail, and said that Nationwide, "it takes an average of 565 days to foreclose on borrowers in default from their first missed payments to the final auction. In New York, the average is 800 days". One such example of "Squatters", as they are referred to, is a Florida couple, that, "have not made a mortgage payment in nearly five years -- but they continue to live in their five-bedroom West Palm Beach, Fla. home.". I find that absolutely incredible !
As incredible as it may sound, this is not a new trend, says Patrick Hohman of Louisville, KY, who says that when his dad was a little boy, "they lived in their foreclosed home from 1933 to 1937. Due to the volume of foreclosures in the 1930s, they stayed in the home for 4 years before being put on the street."
Lesley A. Hoenig, a bankruptcy attorney practicing in Michigan, says that "the foreclosure process can take an insanely long time in some cases, especially if the owner has filed chapter 13 to catch up.", and that, "Ultimately, the lender may eventually kick the person out (Likely if the person isn't making any effort to get the loan modified or catch up)", and adds that, "until the number of foreclosures die down, people are going to be able to spend up to two or three years in their house before getting kicked out".
Hoenig thinks that the main reason people manage to stay in their house is, "because lenders aren't really itching to have vacant houses in their inventory.". Marc S Hyman JD, a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Santa Barbara CA, says basically the same thing; "The last thing a bank wants to do in this market is actually take possession of a home so banks are letting the foreclosure process drag out as much as possible.", he says, adding, "During a normal market banks foreclose quickly in order to get their "investment" back as soon as possible and put it back to work."
The reason Hyman provides is that in this market, "a bank does not want to own a home that it will need to maintain and insure. The bank will become responsible if anyone gets hurt while on the property. Furthermore a bank will not be able to sell the house quickly. Banks are looking at any solution that does not mean taking back the house.".
Hyman does say, though, that once it does complete the foreclosure, "it does quickly evict tenants in order to avoid the legal obligations of being a landlord eg timely repairs, insurance coverage etc.". Referring back to the Christie piece from CNN, one such "Squatter" says that, "Living in this foreclosure limbo is "Hell,"", and adds, "I feel like I'm locked in a box. I work for a financial organization and if this came out, it could cost me my job."
Ultimately, Hyman offers up this interesting point, and perhaps something for everyone to chew on; "The squatters are getting a longer break than in the past but it will come to an end.", and says that, "The sad thing is that the squatters are spending everything they are saving while living rent free. If they did not have the squatter mentality they would be saving the money and looking to buy somewhere else with the windfall they are getting by squatting."
Hyman makes a very good point. We need to realize that a lot of these "Squatters" are families (with children), who had been working hard for years to pay on time, until hardships arose with the Economic downturn. It does not make it right, but it's quite possible that this category of folks would never have imagined being in the foreclosure process and being a "Squatter". It seems as if the whole definition of everything we believe(d) in has taken a 180-degree turn. Tough Times!

Real Estate Contracts from a Legal Perspective
Friday is upon us, and most of the leaves have already fallen here in the Northeast. The trees are bare, and this can only mean one thing - bare trees. OK, so the secret is out - I'm not a comedian.
One thing that is not a laughing matter in Real Estate are the contracts that are used for the different flavors of deals. Today, we are going to take a look at these contracts from the perspective of Rent to Own, with input from Attorneys from 3 States; Florida, Ohio, and Texas. We will preface this with the caveat that this is not legal advice, we are not attorneys, and thus the title word, "perspective", and not guidance.
In the State of Florida, which is always a hotbed for deals, we spoke with Charles P. Castellon, an Attorney and Counselor at Law in Florida. Castellon tells us that it is important to realize that, "The applicable protections depend on whether you're entering the deal as seller or buyer.", and he says that from the seller's side, especially in Florida, that, "it's helpful to draft 2 separate agreements — a residential lease and option agreement.", as, "the rationale is the buyer/option holder could more easily force the owner to file a foreclosure action rather than a simple eviction if both sides of the deal are integrated in one agreement." Castellon continues to say that, "In the latter situation, a court could deem the buyer to have equitable rights giving the buyer/tenant the same rights as a mortgage borrower, thus requiring a more costly and complex foreclosure rather than a relatively simple eviction." From what I personally understand, if a rent credit is being applied to the down payment each month, the tenant is building up equity.
Castellon says that an owner can, "write into the agreements a waiver by the buyer of any claim that the buyer may be entitled to equitable rights requiring a foreclosure case and instead agree that a breach of the lease agreement would be litigated in an eviction case only.", and that, "Buyers should seek to have a portion of all rent payments credited toward the purchase price. Building equity for the buyer and a greater stake in the rental property is beneficial for both sides, as the buyer will think more like an owner than a tenant." Additionally, he says that, "Buyers should also insist that all cost responsibilities are clearly spelled out. For example, either side can be responsible for costs such as taxes, insurance and association fees and everything is negotiable. The buyer may want to seek some kind of protection of his/her interest in the property in the event the owner fails to pay property taxes and thus risks the loss of the property to the tax collector."
In the State of Ohio, we spoke with Troy Doucet, a foreclosure defense and consumer litigation attorney, who says that, "Ohio law requires the inclusion of about 15 different terms into any land contract in order to make it valid. Someone unfamiliar with these requirements could generate a void contract, and cost themselves statutory damages in addition to having to refund money paid." Doucet says that, "Creating a lease that provides for the ability to purchase later creates other hurdles under Ohio law, especially with regards to recording any kind of security interest in the property", and says that his recommendation is to, "always consult an attorney in drafting these types of contracts because they can be considerably problematic for the seller and buyer if not drafted correctly."
Finally, in the State of Texas, we spoke with Attorney Patrick E. Hudson, who says that, "Rent to own laws vary from state to state", and that "In Texas, sellers used to take advantage of rent to own buyers by taking the house back when the buyer missed the first payment, even if the buyer had paid on the home for years.", but that, "the Texas legislature stepped in and put burdensome regulations on rent to own sellers.". Hudson says that the regulations, "generally provide that the buyer has to be provided notices and opportunities to cure any default before the seller can take the property back.".
Hudson says that the state regulations are so difficult to comply with that, "many law firms advise their sellers to avoid rent to own contracts". He does, however, mention an alternative, where, "A seller can lease the property and give the renter/buyer an option to purchase the home at the end of the lease for a good price.", which, "avoids all of the hurdles of a rent to own transaction.".
We are looking for some additional input from real estate attorneys in other states, and we welcome your comments on this post.
Have a Great Weekend, and Happy Rent-to-Owning !

American fighter jets patrolling northern Iraq attacked an Iraqi antiaircraft missile battery today after coming under fire themselves, the Clinton Administration said. The skirmish appeared to mark an Iraqi attempt to provoke a new confrontation with the United States.
Iraq defiantly announced that it had repulsed an attack and had ''probably shot down'' an enemy aircraft.
But the Pentagon dismissed the claims, saying all 27 American and British aircraft operating in or near northern Iraq today had returned safely to their base in Incirlik, Turkey, after firing in self-defense. The Iraqis said four of their soldiers had died in the attack.
Iraq last fired at air patrols two years ago, and there have been occasional provocations since then, punctuated when an American F-16 fired in June at a battery that had aimed at British patrol jets.
The latest incident came just two days after Iraq declared that it would fire on any aircraft flying in the ''no flight'' zones that the United States and its allies created over northern and southern Iraq after the Persian Gulf war ended in 1991. The aim was to protect minority groups then under attack by forces loyal to President Saddam Hussein. Those patrols have been routinely flown since then.
On Saturday, Iraqi antiaircraft artillery fired ineffectually near two British Tornados flying in the southern zone, but today the Iraqi forces fired relatively sophisticated surface-to-air missiles that can threaten even the best American aircraft.
Administration and Pentagon officials said they believed that Mr. Hussein was testing American and British resolve after four nights of air and missile strikes against military and industrial targets across Iraq, which ended on Dec. 19.
The Pentagon has drawn up contingency plans for renewed strikes, and many officials in Washington say they believe that a renewed military confrontation is virtually inevitable in the weeks ahead.
President Clinton justified today's strike as self-defense and vowed that American and allied jets would continue to enforce the ''no flight'' zones. But he stopped short of threatening Iraq with larger strikes if it continued to threaten American or British forces.
The United States, Britain and France created the zone in northern Iraq in 1991 to protect the Kurdish minority, which has long suffered under Mr. Hussein's rule. Iraqi aircraft are barred from flying in the zone, which covers the area north of the 36th parallel.
The zone over southern Iraq was created a year later to protect Shiite Muslims who have been waging a low-level insurgency against Mr. Hussein. In 1996, the southern zone was extended from the 32d parallel to the 33d parallel, just south of Baghdad, the Iraqi capital. The southern zone also prohibits, in addition to aircraft, the movement of tanks and other armored vehicles.
Today's skirmish occurred just after 1 P.M. in Iraq, or 5 A.M. Eastern time, when Iraqi forces fired at least three surface-to-air missiles, or SAM's, at F-15 and F-16 fighter jets flying near the city of Mosul, about 220 miles north of Baghdad, according to Pentagon officials.
At least one F-16 responded immediately with radar-seeking missiles, meant to force the missile battery to turn off its radar, sending the SAM's harmlessly off course. Three F-15's then counterattacked a few minutes later with six 500-pound, laser-guided bombs, the officials said.
Although the Pentagon has not yet fully assessed the damage, the attack appeared to have destroyed the missile battery, they said.
In Baghdad, the Government denounced the strikes as an ''aggressive and vicious'' act, saying the Americans had attacked first and been driven off.
It was the first time since September 1996 that Iraq had fired at the aircraft patrolling the ''no flight'' zone over northern Iraq, though there have been several occasions in both the north and the south when Iraqi air defenses had aimed radar beams at them. On June 30, an F-16 fired a missile at an Iraqi battery that had aimed radar at four British jets patrolling southern Iraq.
In the Pentagon's view, the use of surface-to-air missiles represented a serious escalation of the on-again-off-again hostilities between Iraq and the United States.
Iraq has several Soviet-era missiles, including the SA-3, the type that shot down the U-2 flown by Francis Gary Powers over the Soviet Union in 1960. Officials said the missiles fired today appeared to be SA-3's.
During more than 400 cruise missile strikes and 250 combat sorties over four nights this month, Iraq did not fire its SAM missiles, the Pentagon said, evidently fearing retaliation by American and British weapons able to home in on the batteries' radar signals.
In those strikes, the Americans and British repeatedly targeted SAM sites, but with mixed success, since the batteries are mobile and can be hard to spot. According to the Pentagon's last public assessment of damage, only half of 16 SAM sites attacked were destroyed.
Administration officials said it was impossible to divine Mr. Hussein's motives for attacking today, but they speculated that he might be hoping to increase international sympathy and erode support for sanctions against Iraq by enduring additional attacks.
The United States and its allies cited United Nations resolutions adopted in the aftermath of the Persian Gulf war to justify enforcing the ''no flight'' zones, but the Security Council itself has never explicitly authorized them.
The zones are by no means sanctuaries. In August 1996, Mr. Hussein's ground forces rolled into the northern enclave to intervene in a civil war between Kurdish factions, and the Clinton Administration could do little except to fire four dozen cruise missiles against air-defense targets in the south.

BRUSSELS — Virtual reality, simple writing exercises and football games between mixed teams could all help migrants to settle into new societies and foster connections among diverse groups, according to research by the Migration Policy Institute Europe and the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT).
The joint report, Applying behavioural insights to support immigrant integration and social cohesion, urges governments to use 'nudges' to encourage people to make better choices for themselves and society, grounding policy in a nuanced understanding of how people make decisions.
Governments across the world are already applying this approach in a wide range of areas. For example, making organ donation opt-out rather than opt-in has hugely increased the number of donors, and changing the wording on tax letters has been successful in bringing forward government revenue.
These innovations are generally cheap and quick to set up. Pilot schemes could be designed across countries, and once tested, they would be easy to scale up, meaning governments could make a big impact with a relatively small investment. As European leaders gather for another summit in Brussels this week to thrash out migration initiatives, they could benefit from investigating the potential of an approach based on behavioural insights.
'The arrival of large numbers of migrants and refugees into Europe in the last few years created chaos in asylum and settlement systems', said co-author Meghan Benton. 'Many countries are now looking to the future—ensuring the migration crisis doesn't leave long-term scars by helping newcomers settle in and bridging social divides. The behavioural insights approach offers fresh, evidence-tested ideas for improving access to services, promoting social mixing and reducing barriers to work and education—all fundamental tenets of integration'.

The Story of Max The Bagel Maker and the Davidovich Par Baked Solution
September 3, 2018 NYC– Max dreamt his whole life of owning his own business. It is as American a concept as Ice Cream on Apple Pie. Now Max has done it. After moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico he decided it's time to open a real bagel store, like the one he worked for in New York City.
His business plan- give people a touch of NYC in New Mexico. Max knew what he was doing. He knew how to mix the dough, how to roll the bagels, how to water boil, and bake them.
"People will flock to my little piece of the Big Apple in the West," Max Boasted.
What Max didn't count on was that despite all of his knowledge and efforts the bagels just don't come out like they did in NYC. They are good bagels. They are made right, but there is something missing. They don't have that authentic crispness outside and chewy interior. Where did Max fail?
The truth is NYC is the King of Bagels for a reason. Even the best bagel makers, like Max, can't duplicate NYC's finest bagels in places where they don't have access to NYC's water and NYC's weather conditions. New Mexico is No exception.
Max Works 16-17 Hour Work Days With Mixed Results
To make matters worse Max is getting to work at 1AM to start the laborious process of creating his bagels. Bagels are labor intensive. He has the job of measuring, mixing, cutting the dough, hand rolling, boiling, baking, and selling all by himself. Some nights he stays until 7PM, or later, just to catch a few hours of sleep and start the whole process all over again. How long can one person, or one family, sustain that kind of a grueling schedule?
What is an entrepreneur, like Max, to do? THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY.
Well there is a real solution to give Max, and other Bagel Store owners, access to NYC's finest bagels right in New Mexico, or anywhere in the world, and to give him back his life again. That solution is the Davidovich Par Baked Solution.
With Davidovich's Par Baked Bagel program Max can eliminate all of the ingredient costs, as well as the mixing, the cutting, the rolling, the proofing, the boiling, the seeding and most of the baking. In a matter of less than one hour he can serve his customers the very best NYC has to offer-bagels made in NYC, with NYC's water and in NYC's environment but "baked off" in his very own facility for just a few minutes. THIS IS A WIN-WIN!
Max's customers get the authentic NYC Bagel and he gets to save himself the time and back breaking labor of real bagel making and even sleep for an additional 5 hours. With Davidovich as his partner Max can't lose. Neither can you.

A Brief History of the Bagel
A bagel is a round bread, with a hole in the middle made of simple ingredients: high-gluten flour, yeast, salt, water, and malt. Its dough is boiled, then baked, and the result should be a rich caramel color. It should not be pale and blond. A bagel should weigh five ounces or less and should make a slight crackling sound when you bite into it. A bagel should be eaten warm and, ideally, should be no more than four to five hours old when consumed. All else is not a bagel.
The bagel's birthplace is considered to be Poland. A story popular in the United States is that the first bagel was produced as a tribute to Jan Sobieski, 17th Century King of Poland, after he saved Austria from Turkish invaders at the battle of Vienna in 1683. According to Maria Balinska, the author of "The Bagel: The Surprising History of a Modest Bread" (Yale University Press) it is just that-a story.
The first known reference to the bagel among Jews in Poland, according to Balinska, precedes the Battle of Vienna by seven decades. It is found, she says, in regulations issued in Yiddish in 1610 by the Jewish Council of Krakow outlining how much Jewish households were permitted to spend in celebrating the circumcision of a baby boy- "to avoid making Gentile neighbors envious, and also to make sure poorer Jews weren't living above their means."
Eastern European immigrants arriving in the United States at the turn of the 20thcentury brought the bagel with them to the streets of the Lower East Side. The rise of the bagel in New York in inextricably tied to that of the trade unions, specifically Bagel Bakers Local 338, a federation of nearly 300 bagel craftsmen formed in NYC in the early 1900s.
Local 338 was, by all accounts, a tough and unswerving union. It was set up according to strict rules that limited new membership to the sons of current members. By 1915, it controlled 36 bagel bakeries in New York and New Jersey. These bakeries produced the original New York Bagels, the standard against which all others are still, in some manner judged.
What did they look like? They were a mere three ounces. They were smaller and denser than their modern descendants with a crustier exterior and chewier interior. They were made entirely by hand.
Local 338 held its ironclad grip on the bagel market for nearly half a century, until industrial bagel-making machines were introduced into the market in the early 1960s. The introduction of the bagel machines meant any retailer or bakery owner could make their own bagels with non-union help.
Today Davidovich Bagels are the links to the Old World bagels brought to the Lower East Side of New York. They are:
Kosher-Pas Yisroel
Retarded for 18-24 hours
Kettle Boiled
Plank Baked
Double Seeded
Certified Made in NYC
and now for the modern World concerns
Non-GMO Certified
Vegan (except Egg)

Bombora and TechnipFMC to develop multi-MW floating wind-wave platform
InSPIRE floating wind-wave demonstrator (Credit Bombora Wave Power)
Bombora and TechnipFMC are now forming a consortium to develop the 12MW platform at an established European test site as part of the Integrated Semi-submersible Platform with Innovative Renewable Energy (InSPIRE) project.
The consortium will include an energy company, academic leaders and industry professionals, according to Bombora. InSPIRE project will seek to validate the competitive Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) target for an integrated floating wave and wind platform to below €50/MWh by 2030.
The project will also work to demonstrate the advantages of combining wind and wave resources to produce more dispatchable power, Bombora said. The first phase of the project will comprise the design and buildout of a 12MW demonstrator, with integrated 4MW mWave and 8MW wind turbine on a shared floating platform.
The second phase will see the construction of a commercial-scale platform, that will integrate 6MW mWave device with 12MW wind turbine on a single platform.
As reported earlier, in October 2020 marine engineering firm Apollo completed a study for Bombora verifying that mWave technology, when applied to a floating platform, can provide added value to large-scale offshore energy projects.

The MINI Superleggera Vision – Simply Beautiful
by Editorial TeamPublished 24 May 2014 at 04:29
The MINI Superleggera Vision is a heart-achingly beautiful roadster with a huge dollop of Britishness and a touch of Italian flair.
MINI are continually evolving the brand, producing cars that garner huge praise from around the world and an equally large following. They have once again hit the mark with the Vision, a car that has been produced by two great names in the automotive world. The capabilities and reputation of the BMW Group will mean that you're virtually guaranteed to have a product of quality. However, it's not just cast iron quality that makes a design classic, you also need some flair. The other part of this collaboration comes in the form of Superleggerra, an iconic name in the Italian motoring industry with 90 years of coach building skill and design behind them. More often than not, combining two companies in the same industry usually results in more misses than hits, but this time it's worked out perfectly and the end result is an automotive masterpiece.
The perfectly balanced proportions indicate at first glance what the electrically powered MINI Superleggera™ Vision has to offer in terms of a driving experience: the stretched bonnet, long wheelbase and cool, short overhangs convey pure driving fun. As in every MINI, the wheels are set widely on the body, promising a high degree of agility. The passenger cell is slightly set back, further underscoring the car's dynamic impression. The overall effect of the MINI Superleggera™ Vision is sporty, elegant and dynamic.
The front of the MINI Superleggera™ Vision features the traditional MINI design icons: two circular headlights and a hexagonal grille define the unmistakable front section, providing a contemporary interpretation of features which have become firmly established over decades. There are also striking classic sports car elements such as a wide track and distinctively curved wheel arches that give the front a dynamic presence. The classic MINI bonnet stripes are three-dimensionally embossed and run on into high-quality polished aluminum accents. The inlaid bonnet harks back to classic British roadsters of bygone days.
Meanwhile the horizontal rib look of the radiator grille adds a classic sporty touch. The fact that it is closed is a discreet indication of the car's electric motor. The two fog lights echo the circular contours of the headlamps, providing a smaller interpretation of them in the radiator grille. The air inlets are also circular, giving the front section a distinctive touch. A flat front splitter made of carbon fibre closes off the front to the road, thereby underscoring the car's sporty statement down to the last detail.
In its styling and in the look and feel of its materials, the interior design celebrates the tradition and the essence of classic coachwork construction. It reflects how the automobile was created: the essential features are quoted – the untreated aluminium sheeting and the tube-shaped structural elements – and they are made visible in the interior by means of a high-quality interpretation. This is most striking in the dashboard. The latter is created from a single aluminium sheet and has been left in the state the automobile body would look like without a paint finish. The generously sized unpainted surfaces and the clearly visible hand craftsmanship of the dashboard go together to reflect the skilled artistry of the coach builders. The doors and the sporty 3-spoke steering wheel likewise reveal the traditional method of construction. The structural elements in the doors form a Union Jack, discreetly indicating the British origins of the MINI Superleggera™ Vision.
We absolutely love the looks of the MINI Superleggera Vision and thinks it's one of the best styled cars we've seen in quite a while, in fact we would go as far as stating that that this is the most beautiful car unveiled in 2014 thus far.
Thank you MINI and Touring Superleggera for creating a truly stunning car.
