5 Free Players Chelsea Can Sign
ByChel
Dec 26, 2021 Sports
Chelsea has been known to be procrastinating in buying new players in the transfer market. However, the Blues are also not against bringing in free players.
One of the players who brought in Chelsea on a free transfer is Thiago Silva. The Blues signed him for free after his contract with PSG ended.
Despite being 37 years old, Silva is arguably one of the best players in the current Chelsea squad. He still has the toughness to keep the defense line.
A similar strategy seems to be done by Chelsea in the summer of next year. They can sign players whose contracts expire at the end of this season.
Here are five free players that can be recruited by Chelsea.
Ousmane Dembele joined Barcelona in 2017 for a fairly expensive fee. Unfortunately, Dembele had a complicated problem related to injury after coming to Camp Nou.
This season, Dembele has made just five appearances in all competitions for Barcelona. However, the French player has a great chance of leaving the club at the end of the season.
Dembele is currently at the end of his contract with Barcelona. Until now there is no sign of the 24-year-old player will extend his contract.
Thomas Tuchel reportedly wants to increase the strength of Chelsea's midfield. Therefore, recruiting Paul Pogba could be a good consideration for the Blues.
Pogba so far is still not willing to sign a new contract at Manchester United. This puts his future at Old Trafford in doubt.
Pogba showed good performance when playing with N'Golo Kante in the French national team. He can do the same at Stamford Bridge.
Niklas Sule
Chelsea will face a fairly serious problem at the back. Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen could leave the club at the end of the season after their contracts expire.
Niklas Sule from Bayern Munich could be a good option to strengthen Chelsea's defense. Moreover, the player can be obtained for free next summer.
Aged 26, Sule has played 153 games in all competitions for Bayern. He managed to contribute 6 goals and 4 assists from these appearances.
Like his compatriot, Matthias Ginter will also be a free agent next summer. He is currently on his way out of Borussia Monchengladbach.
The 27-year-old player has a lot of experience playing in the Bundesliga. Because of that, Ginter seems to fit very well with the formation that Thomas Tuchel applies.
Seeing that there are quality defenders and freebies, Ginter will be a bone of contention for a number of European clubs next summer. Chelsea must move quickly if they are to secure the services of Ginter.
Marcelo Brozovic
Marcelo Brozovic is an irreplaceable player in the Inter Milan midfield. The Croatian midfielder played the role of a defensive midfielder well.
Brozovic has good stamina to explore all corners of the midfield. He doesn't seem to have any trouble playing in the Premier League.
Chelsea could get Brozovic on a free transfer next year. The reason is, Brozovic has so far not seen to be signing a new contract at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Mammograms Benefit Women Age 75 And Older
This age group accounted for 16 percent of all patients diagnosed with screening-detected cancers in a recent study.
November 30, 2018 • By Alicia Green
A new study presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2018 meeting suggests that women age 75 years and older should continue to undergo screening mammograms because of the high incidence of breast cancer among this cohort, reports RSNA. The study demonstrates that there is indeed value in screening women over 75—despite conflicting opinions among experts about when women should cease undergoing such exams.
Researchers analyzed data from 763,256 screening mammography exams at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, between 2007 and 2017 and found that screening-detected cancer was diagnosed in 3,944 patients.
About 10 percent (76,885) of patients in the study were 75 years and older. Scientists identified 645 cancerous growths in 616 patients in this age group, a rate of 8.4 detections per 1,000 exams.
"For the relatively small percentage of our screening population that was compromised of women 75 and older, the patients diagnosed in this population made up 16 percent of all patients diagnosed with screening-detected cancers," said Stamatia V. Destounis, MD, radiologist at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care.
82 percent of malignancies diagnosed were invasive cancers, with 63 percent being grade 2 or 3;
98 percent of cancers were able to be treated surgically;
In 7 percent of patients, positive lymph nodes were found at surgical excision;
17 cancers were unable to be treated surgically because of the patient's age or state of health.
According to Destounis, women over age 75 should continue routine screenings even if they are in relatively good health because "the benefits of screening yearly after age 75 continue to outweigh any minimal risk of additional diagnostic testing."

Ken and Matt help out the a Mexican DigiDestined, while Sora and Yolei helped those in Russia and Siberia. They all return back to Japan, just in time for Christmas. However, Arukenimon is still up to something. Though feeling less disconnected than the previous chapter, this is a very uneven final part to the World Tour. First, the Mexico section feels rushed and unsubstantial, thanks in no small part to the involvement of the digimon. While seeing Stingmon use a double spiking strike attack is pretty cool, and we are treated to the evolution footage of Weregarurumon, the main action sequence has a sense of laziness, with the combatants making essentially no use of their unique powers. Weregarurumon in particular only delivers one physical strike, despite not appearing for over 50 episodes. On the human side of things, there was potential in the team up of Matt and Ken, since the two have the distinction of being at odds with their respective teams at some point, but there is no more effort in that department here than in the previous two episodes. Rosa is expectedly bothersome, being so young, and I think that her eventual admiration of Stingmon could have had more thought put into it. Gotsumon's evolution footage is neat, though.
I would argue that the Russia section is a little better. The animation and setting are more pleasing to the eye, especially when considering the attacks of the flying digimon, which have little recycled footage. However, this is probably the most rushed section in the World Tour, as the two girls have literally no time to survey the area they are assigned to. Watching them deal with the language barrier with the Russian kids is embarrassing, though I did like seeing Yolie pull through in thinking up a solution, silly as it is. The sequence in Siberia is also rushed, but feels more dire thanks to the harsh environment and retains the quality in visuals. As Chris Mcfeely pointed out, the Jingle Bells montage at the end is very enjoyable, almost getting us to feel a minor connection to the kids encountered during this mission, and the scene of Imperialdramon flying above the atmosphere is a great visual.


Amaretti Apple Tart is my go to dessert when I want to impress. It ticks all the boxes; it tastes amazing, looks great, and is far easier to make than it may appear. I always get compliments when I serve it, and, I think it's the only recipe I've phoned up a stranger for, after they brought it along to a dinner party I was at, many years ago. So thank you to the nice lady who gave me this recipe!
To make the base, crush the amaretti biscuits finely (I pop them in a bag and use a rolling pin to crush them). Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar and biscuits. If you have a food processor you could just throw it all in! Press this mixture firmly into the base of your greased tin.
Prepare your apples by cutting into quarters, peeling them if you choose and coring them. You will see from the photos I didn't peel mine on this occasion, as I thought the red skins would look pretty, I probably would however, if I was using an apple such as Bramleys.
My instructions then say… 'Take an apple quarter and slice it finely, holding the slices together as you cut. Repeat with the rest of the apples. Once all your quarters are prepared, take an apple section and, pushing down on it gently, fan the slices out slightly'. It never quite happens like this for me, so what I do is slice each quarter into 5 or 6 pieces, and then arrange them as neatly as I can on top of the biscuit base. Fortunately, the recipe seems to be very forgiving, and the amaretti apple tart always comes out looking pretty for me, however uneven the slices appear while I am cutting them!
Once you have arranged the slices to your liking (do try not to leave any base uncovered) brush the apples with the melted butter and sprinkle them with a mix of the sugar and cinnamon. Pop onto a baking sheet and stick in the oven. I cook in an old aga, so I am used to ignoring temperature and timing guides, but my original recipes suggests 200C for 30-40 minutes. In the hot oven of the aga it usually takes about 30 minutes. It is ready when the apples are soft and have a little colour to their edges. Leave to cool before removing from the tin, and then serve with cream or creme fraiche.
If you have enjoyed our amaretti apple tart recipe you might also enjoy our Summer Berry Pavlova or our Raspberry and Hibiscus Jelly desserts.
This looks absolutely delicious! I just bought two baskets of apples at the farmer's market. My kids usually just eat them plain, but I may have to set some aside for this. It would definitely be the star of the show at my next dinner party. Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh this looks amazing and delicious! You can't tell at all that the slices are uneven. It's almost to pretty to eat.
Yes this does impress! You say it is easy? I'll make a GF version, this looks amazing!
Oh would love to hear how the gf version turns out Kellie, sure it'd be great – in fact you've just put an idea in my head for something I might play around with myself, thanks!
I'll look into figuring out the crust. If you figure it out first let me know.
Hi Sarah, this does look good. Bet my apple slices won't look so neat though!
I love the way you put the apples together!
This looks incredible, drooling just from the pictures! Adding to my Pinterest to make at some point.
Boy am I glad I finally joined that FB thread. This looks amazing and even though I'm competent at desserts, I rarely make them and keep telling myself I must at least make one for our special family dinner on the weekend. Fab!
What a beautiful dish! Fit for any kind of company or celebration! And much prettier than a pie. Are the Amaretti biscuits like shortbread? I'm wondering if that would be a good substitution.
This is just too pretty to eat, but I'll try it anyway!
This looks and sounds delicious. I love the pairing of amarettinis and apple.
It is really yummy. We crush up Amaretti biscuits and put it in our crumble topping, and that's fantastic too!
It really is a lovely desert – everyone will love it I promise!
It really is yummy – you wont be disappointed !
This sounds so delish! And it looks gorgeous, I am pinning this, I want to keep it handy to make again and again, I would be proud to take this beauty to any gathering! Thanks for sharing.
Delicious and nutritious which are two of my favorite things….my kids love apples so I bet they would love these! Thank you for sharing this with #foodpornthursdays!

I am trying to restore a backup system image to my repaired PC. It is wiped clean. I have the "Repair Disc Windows 7 64 Bit" that I created in Windows 7. Using Windows 7 Backup I have a system image backup on an external WD Essentiasl 1TB USB Hard Drive.
I insert the Repair Disc and start the system. Get to System Recoevery Options. I have the external Hard Disk with the system backup image connected. Select System Image Recovery option. Says "Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. Attach the backup hard disk or insert the final DVD from a bckup set and click retry. Alternatively, close this dialog for more options. Retry gives me the same message. Tried starting with drive attached, not attached, same result. Click cancel.
Next option selected is "Select a system image." No system image listed. Hit refresh, still nothing. Top of screen says "Click Advanced to add a network location or install a driver for a backup device if it does not show up in the list below." I click on the Advanced tab. Option to "Search for a system image on the network" or "Install a driver." I select install a driver. Find the right driver for the WD Essential hard drive (disk.sys and partmgr.sys) and when I click on them I get "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." Click OK. Can't find how to load these drivers I am being asked for.
Please HELP. This is very frustrating!!!

La chiesa di Aleksandr Nevskij (), nota più semplicemente come Cappella, è un edificio di culto sito nel Parco di Aleksandra della reggia di Peterhof, in Russia. Fu costruita nel XIX secolo in stile
neogotico come cappella privata della famiglia Romanov.

Storia e descrizione

Nel 1829, dopo il completamento del Palazzo Cottage nel Parco di Aleksandra, si ritenne necessario costruire anche una cappella. Fu lo zar Nicola I in persona a scegliere il punto in cui edificare la struttura. La realizzazione del progetto fu affidata all'architetto prussiano Karl Friedrich Schinkel, mentre la direzione dei lavori spettò allo scozzese Adam Menelaws. Dopo la morte di quest'ultimo nel 1831 la direzione passò nelle mani di Ludwig Charlemagne.

La cerimonia di posa della prima pietra ebbe luogo il 24 maggio 1831 alla presenza dell'arciprete Nikolaj Muzovskij. La cappella fu ultimata all'inizio dell'estate del 1834. Il 3 luglio dello stesso anno fu consacrata in onore del santo ed eroe nazionale russo Aleksandr Nevskij. Divenne usualmente adibita alle funzioni religiose della famiglia imperiale durante le vacanze estive.

A seguito della rivoluzione d'ottobre, nel 1918, la cappella subì la chiusura. Nel 1920 fu provvisoriamente trasformata in un museo, ma solo nel 1933 iniziò ad ospitare una mostra permanente sulla storia del Parco di Aleksandra.

L'edificio fu gravemente danneggiato nel corso della seconda guerra mondiale. I lavori di restauro ebbero luogo solo negli anni settanta. Nel 1999, a seguito di un nuovo restauro, la cappella tornò ad ospitare un museo. Nel 2003 ebbe luogo un ulteriore restauro e nel 2006 l'edificio fu consacrato dal metropolita dell'eparchia di San Pietroburgo e Ladoga Vladimir Kotljarov. Il 26 settembre 2006 la cappella ospitò per qualche giorno la salma della zarina Marija Fëdorovna, restituita dal governo della Danimarca, prima della definitiva sepoltura nella cattedrale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo di San Pietroburgo.

Uno dei dettagli estetici maggiormente significativi della cappella è rappresentato dalle statue realizzate dallo scultore Vasilij Demut-Malinovskij. L'iconostasi originaria fu realizzata da Timofej Neff.

Q: Using PHP to search a text file I'm trying to create a code to download mp3 files embedded in a page. It starts out as a submit form. You input the URL and submit it, and it writes the HTML source of that page to a text file. I also set the script to search the source to see if there is an audio file embedded. I suppose I should include that it's not in the format of filename.mp3. The format is:
embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://diaryofthedead.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/1435664895/tumblr_lb2ybulZkt1qb5hrc&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"
So here's the thing, there's just a certain string you have to add to the end of the file, for it to redirect to the mp3 file. I know the string. What I want to do is extract, for example "http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/1435664895/tumblr_lb3ybulZkt1q5hrc" from the middle of this. I know how to read from files but I have no idea how to extract certain parts from it without knowing the exact filename already. So is there any way I can have it search the source for "audio_file" and if it finds the string, extract the audio file?

A: You can try using preg_match (http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php) to get the contents between "audio_file=" and "&".
Or you can also use a string between function to get the contents between those two strings:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php#89493

A: If your program is just a parser for extracting MP3 files embedded in a webpage you don't even need to save the contents of the webpage onto a file, you can work with the page source inside just your server's memory.
If you want to detect paths to MP3 inside flashes, provided you know how does it match a regular expression, you are done.
If you don't know much about rgular expressions, you should look at them.
If you don't want as much power as a regular expression can give to you, you can always find strings by position, like:
$pos = strpos($haystack, $needle);

Beware: strpos() will find the first (strrpos will find the last) occurrence of a string. So you need to make it as explicit as you can, or you might end up capturing something unwanted.
Take a look at http://www.regular-expressions.info/quickstart.html or something similar.
I can't post more links because I don't have enough reputation yet

What are "Mutant Radioactive Edible Diamonds"?
Posted on July 7, 2022 January 17, 2023 by meleedose
What are Mutant Radioactive Edible Diamonds? 💎 🧪
Infused with five rare cannabinoids for optimal potency, this Limited Edition Diamond is one of the most creative edibles ever produced.
The idea for "Mutant Radioactive Edible Diamonds" was born out of the Melee team's passion for all things cannabis, art, and NFTs.
After a few months of R&D inside Melee labs, we were able to concoct a product with exotic flavors, natural ingredients, and hemp derived cannabinoids that was truly designed to give consumers super strength, cause time travel, and help them mutate into the best version of themself.
The theme of this project was inspired by Melee owned NFT Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) #4573 which can be found front and center on the glow in the dark packaging.
What Are The 5 Cannabinoids Infused Into The Edible?🌀 🌱
The luminescent green diamonds boast 4mg D9, 20mg D8/D10, 6mg THC-O, and 9mg HHC, thereby achieving the golden ratio of 420:69.
Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill (which clarifies that Hemp is federally legal as long as it contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis), we were able to infuse 5 different hemp derived cannabinoids into our Limited Edition Radioactive Diamond.
Learn more about each cannabinoid and its effects below 👇
Delta-8 THC:
Delta-8 THC is considered to be the "nicer, younger sibling" to Delta-9 THC. Delta-8 is slightly psychoactive and produces milder effects compared to Delta-9.
Delta- 9 THC is the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, meaning it's the cannabinoid that's responsible for the famous "high" that we all know and love. D9 THC may help with producing feelings of euphoria, enhancing creative experiences, increasing appetite, and altering time perception.
Delta-10 THC:
Delta-10 THC, similar to Delta-8 THC, produces slightly psychoactive and milder effects but is commonly reported to provide more energizing effects compared to Delta-8 which is reported to be more sedating.
THC-O:
THC-O is also known as the "spiritual cannabinoid" because it is considered to be 3x as potent as typical Delta-9 THC. It has been reported that THC-O delivers a psychoactive high that can be both euphoric, sedative, and in some doses potentially even psychedelic.
HHC:
HHC is considered to be slightly stronger than Delta-8 THC with effects leaning more towards Delta-9 THC. Some HHC users describe its effects to be more relaxing than stimulating as well as euphoric.
What is an NFT?
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a digital code that represents some type of digital asset, which provides proof of ownership. That asset could be digital art, collectibles or music for example.
NFTs have recently gained attention because they are becoming a more popular way to acquire and sell digital artwork. Anyone may look at the individual photos or even the entire collage online for free. So you must be wondering, why are people willing to spend millions of dollars on something that they might just take a screenshot of or obtain for free? Let us explain.
Basically if you own an NFT, you own the original item. It contains built-in authentication, which also serves as proof of ownership. Collectors around the world value those "digital bragging rights" almost more than the item itself. In simpler terms, if you own an NFT, you can do whatever you want with it which includes incorporating it into your brand. Now hopefully this sheds some light as to why we put our Mutant Ape Yacht Club #4573, which was purchased by Melee, onto our packaging.
What is the Mutant Ape Yacht Club?
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is a collection of NFTs that were released by the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), which is owned by NFT powerhouse Yuga Labs. Some famous celebrities who hold a Bored Ape include Steve Aoki, Tom Brady, Justin Bieber, and Snoop Dogg.
The MAYC is a collection of 20,000 Mutant Apes that were created by exposing a Bored Ape to a vial of Mutant Serum.
If none of this makes sense to you, don't worry. We understand it may be confusing but we are here to help introduce you to the world of NFTs and all the fun things that are involved with them. If you ever want to learn more about NFTs, don't hesitate to DM us on Instagram where we can go into more detail.

Best suit ever! I love this costume and the custom size fits me so well!
This is by far my most successful cosplay to date. Whenever I wear it, I can barely walk an inch without getting stopped for a million pictures. The backpack piece did break and I did end up cutting off the feet because I was too tall for the suit and it didn't fit as well. But still, would definitely recommend this suit. And the customer service is fantastic.

US VP Pence Condemns Violence Against Iran Protesters
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence delivers a speech during the 55th Munich Security Conference in Munich, southern Germany, on 16Feb2019
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence in a tweet has expressed support for the Iranian people amid anti-Islamic Republic protests across Iran.
Pence says, as Iranians protest the "Ayatollahs in Tehran continue to use violence and imprisonment to oppress their people. The United States' message is clear: the American people stand with the Iranian people".
Previously, Mike Pompeo, the State Department and the White House had issued similar messages in support of the Iranian protesters. However, President Donald Trump has not personally spoken about the widespread protests.
This has led some Iranian journalists and activists to voice surprise, given Trump's strong public statements in the past against the Islamic Republic and its leaders.
The authorities have used lethal force against the protesters, killing at least 138 according to Radio Farda's conservative estimate. A UN body and International rights organizations have strongly condemned the use of force.
France and Germany have condemned the violence used against protesters.
Unrest began in Iran when on November 15 the government raised gasoline prices amid a severe economic downturn coupled with high inflation. But as protests gained momentum, the message of angry demonstrators turned against the very essence of the Islamic Republic and the legitimacy of its leaders.

The Hamiltones Release Debut EP "Watch the Ton3s" (Stream)
Albums New Music
YKIGS	Posted on June 7, 2019
R&B group The Hamiltones have been on quite a journey since emerging as Anthony Hamilton's background singers. That breakout now reaches a pinnacle as the group have released their debut EP "Watch the Ton3s".
The project features guests Ricco Barrino and Phonte of Little Brother, who appeared on the remix to previously released single "Money Can't Buy".
The project includes five new sentimental love songs and a remix and is loaded with heavenly harmonies, carefully crafted lyrics, and live instrumentation that hark back to a time when you didn't just listen to music, you felt it.
"We can switch up every now and then, but this is a soul/R&B EP — feel-good music." Says 2E of the group.
The Hamiltones are North Carolina natives J. Vito, Tony Lelo, and 2E. The soul trio's name was born from their work as backup vocalists for Grammy-winning R&B/Soul artist Anthony Hamilton. While on tour with Hamilton, dazzling audiences around the world, the trio of singers jokingly sang a gospel rendition of Drake's "Hotline Bling" during rehearsal. The recorded footage of their performance was then uploaded to Facebook and amassed over one million views in just under 24 hours. The group went on to make more renditions of popular songs, all of which became internet sensations.

A pesca é uma atividade tradicional na costa da Andaluzia, que fornece um componente essencial na dieta dos andaluzes. A frota de pesca é o segundo maior da Espanha, com uma área de pesca extensiva, que excede as águas da Andaluzia.

Em 2006, a frota de pesca na Andaluzia tinha   barcos e  tripulantes. Esse ano a produção atingiu os 70,6 milhões de quilos e o valor da captura de 156,8 milhões de euros.

Evolução histórica
A pescaria começou nos tempos pré-históricos, quando a exploração de moluscos e outras espécies foi de grande importância à alimentação. Isso é demonstrado pelos numerosos achados de arpões, anzóis e outros instrumentos de pesca. Mais adiante, a pesca aparece como uma das atividades características do litoral da Bética (Andaluzia), em que as numerosas fábricas de salga de peixe (garum) adquiriram grande fama. Já durante a Idade Média e Moderna a pesca do atum em almadrava/almadraba foi de grande relevância.

Até praticamente a Idade Contemporânea, a pesca era uma das poucas atividades capazes de sustentar a população devido a insalubre desses espaços no caso do litoral Atlântico e do problema da pirataria mourisca na costa do Mediterrâneo.

No século XVI, as empresas industriais espanholas favorecidas com privilégios e isenções para a utilização integral dos recursos e, aliás, revertidas para a Coroa o movimento do -mais ágil- capital privado, uma vez importados da França os conceitos de livre comércio e mercantilismo emergente, empresas catalães e levantinas introduziram nas costas da Andaluzia, especialmente em Cádis e Huelva, técnicas de pesca de arrasto ou arte do bou (também boi, do catalão bou e este da mesma origem que boilu, do latim boilius, lançar a rede para pescar, pois se assemelha ao arado puxado por bois, ou seja, rasgadores do fundo do mar).

North Korea Launches Two Missiles
On September 10, North Korea test fired two KN-25 "super large" guided rockets from Kaechon, 80 km north of Pyongyang. According to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, both projectiles flew 330 km and reached an altitude of 50 to 60 km before landing east of the launch site.

The Interim Report of the CMA's Market Study on Mobile Ecosystems : A Great Piece of Work
On 14 December 2021, the CMA published the Interim Report of its Market Study on Mobile Ecosystems. This is a massive (445 pages + annexes) piece of work, which is – as always with the CMA – extremely well done. The purpose of this Interim Report is for the CMA to share the content of its preliminary analysis with stakeholders and open a consultation process. All those interested in making observations can do so by 7 February 2021.
At a time where competition cases become increasingly narrow, one of the great aspects of the Interim Report is that it takes a holistic view of mobile ecosystems and the competition problems associated with these ecosystems, where Apple and Google are in an "effective duopoly". The Interim Report also comes at a time where Apple's App Store practices are subject to antitrust investigation or litigation in several countries (including the UK (by the CMA itself), the Netherlands and the U.S.), and are the object of a range of regulatory initiatives (including the EU Digital Markets Act, the U.S. Open App Markets Act and the Korean app store bill).

Review: "Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde"
Note: From time to time, this site potentially constituting my personal record for ever after, I may corral a stray item from years past that merits some kind of lasting endorsement. The following book review suggests a good place to start; it may be one of the most popular things I've ever written. Goodreads (its second home) reports only six, as of this writing, but it seems like I get an e-mail notice that someone likes the review every other week… At all events, I do feel this was a good review of an excellent book, which I'm happy to recommend for a third time.
Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde
by Jeff Guinn
An absolutely fantastic work, rich in absorbing detail.
I'm far from being an expert on Bonnie & Clyde, so I can't evaluate this against any other works on the pair. But it certainly seems like Guinn did a lot of research, and used it to very good effect. Unsurprisingly, there's no Hollywood glamour in the story; yet for a tale of two largely inept, ineffective small-time criminals, it's a remarkably dramatic and even moving story.
The element of inevitable doom in Bonnie & Clyde's tale probably contributes a lot to this, and while Guinn makes it a very real presence, he hardly had to invent it; throughout much of their brief criminal careers, B&C knew there was only one possible ending to their story, and were often completely frank and casual about it.
Perhaps the most effective and surprising ramification of this, though, is how Guinn convincingly calls into question just how much Barrow and Parker ever really had a better alternative. The story of their dead-end world in Dust-Bowl Texas, and particularly of the Barrows' utterly dispiriting poverty, comes across as just unremittingly bleak. Unless the prospects for a young person in Depression-era Dallas slums were significantly brighter than Guinn's account suggests, one has difficulty seeing any reason Bonnie & Clyde would have particularly preferred lives of impoverished drudgery to brief careers as famous criminals, even allowing for the deglamorized reality of the latter.
In all honesty, though written as a biography of two celebrated bandits, Go Down Together is one of the most effective works of social criticism I've read in a long while.

How quickly can we decrease and increase the team?
One of our advantages is that we can scale quickly. Depending on the needs of project and the choice o technology we can create a brand new team to 10 people within 4 weeks. It is also possible transfer developers, who end the projectt.

Redden Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1871 under the direction of Reverend Joshua Brinkley.
The same church edifice was made larger under the administration of Reverend Daniel J. Waters (1872). During Reverend Waters' administration, he had the rear wall removed and a recess pulpit put in, which gave a little more room.
Redden was a very small church when Reverend William Johnson became pastor (1875).
Rev. Hopkins In the summer of 1908, Redden Methodist Episcopal Church was completely torn down, and Mt. Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church (now known as Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church) was built. The new two-story structure was built, which was a very much-enlarged building. This was done under the administration of Reverend J.W. Fenderson.
Mount Calvary had its corner stone laid on the fourth Sunday in July of 1908 by the Reverend John H.B. Hubbard of Milford, Delaware. The contents of the stone are a Discipline of the Methodist. Episcopal Church, a list of the officers of the church, and the names of the contractors.
A new organization was formed and Mount Calvary Church was taken from the Bridgeville Circuit at the Annual Conference that convened in Cambridge in 1909.
Reverend Dr. D.W. Henry became the next pastor (1914). The mortgage was lifted. The old parsonage was sold and a new parsonage was built.
The next pastor was Reverend F.O.T. Laws and under his administration, the tabernacle ground was purchased, the heater in cellar of the church was installed and the electric light system was put in the parsonage.
Through the efforts of Reverend E. M. Hurley, the tabernacle was built. It served as a very pleasant place for religious worship services for adults, and as a religious training center for younger groups.
Reverend Daniel G. Waters (1937-1946), through his untiring efforts, skill, zeal and courage "to do and dare" began to rebuild the beautiful structure by digging out the cellar. The mortgage was also paid under Reverend Waters' leadership.
During Reverend Charles E. Kiah's tenure (1946-1959), asbestos shingles was put on the parsonage, an oil heater was installed in the church, and a new gas range was purchased for the kitchen. Asbestos shingles were also put on the church. Three and one fifth acres of land was purchased for a new cemetery (Middleford Cemetery).
Mt. Calvary's Fellowship Hall was built during the administration of Reverend Calvin Byrd (1972-1977). Several women of the church (Alice Skinner, Glendora Jackson, Myrna Neal, Corine Crockett, Mary Taylor, Helen Carey and Estella Price established a building fund. The Building Fund Committee contracted Mr. Nelson B. Crockett as the architect to draw up the plans for the Fellowship Hall. Mr. Crockett drew up the plans and presented it to the Building Fund Committee. The Building Fund Committee accepted the plans. The Building Fund Committee began a vigorous campaign to raise the necessary funds to build the Hall. They sponsored many programs to meet their goal. The Committee employed Mr. Crockett to construct the Hall. Mr. Crockett contracted several men of the church to work on the construction of the Hall. The men were Bradford Cannon, Emory Nichols, Charles Smack Sr, Ernest Robins Sr, Thelton Smith, James Taylor Sr., Reverend Dennis from Vienna, Maryland, Olin Lee Brummell from John Wesley in Seaford, Reverend Charles Smith Sr. of Williams Chapel Church in Bridgeville, Reverend Albert Dredden and James Evans Sr. from Trinity United Methodist Church in Bridgeville, The Briggs Heating Company from Federalsburg, Maryland installed the heating system. The men refused payment for their labor, only asking to be fed a hot meal during the lunch hour. Many of the women of Mt. Calvary donated food and served the workers during the lunch hour. Mr. Louis Grinage installed the carpet and linoleum. The Hall was dedicated in 1976. Masonic members of the surrounding communities sealed the papers in the corner stone.
Mt. Calvary experienced our first female pastor when Rev. Tina Miles was appointed to the Bridgeville Charge on July 1, 1985. Under her administration the old parsonage on North Cannon Street was sold and a new parsonage was built on the old tabernacle grounds on Church Street.
Rev. Hopkins Our small congregation has seen many changes. On July 1, 2006, Rev. Baron N. Hopkins Sr. was appointed to pastor at Mt. Calvary.
In 2007, under the leadership of Pastor Baron N. Hopkins Sr, Trustee President Hollis Smack Sr and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary E. Jones, a handicap ramp was added to the church which allowed the church to become accessible to those with disabilities.
On July 11, 2007, one of the most dedicated members of Mt. Calvary and the Father of the Church, Philip N. Davis, died and bequeathed to the Trustees of Mt. Calvary his apartment building which was a rental property.
In 2008, the dirt and gravel parking lot was paved to allow for more parking and easier access to the church. Mt. Calvary now has parking for the general congregation and guests, as well as handicapped parking for those with disabilities. This was all done through the hard work and determination of Pastor Baron N. Hopkins, Trustee Hollis Smack Sr. and Secretary-Treasurer of the Trustees, Mary E. Jones.
In 2009, under the leadership of Pastor Hopkins and newly elected Trustee President Mary E. Jones, central air conditioning was added to the Fellowship Hall to ensure our congregation and guests are comfortable in winter and summer. New, energy efficient windows were installed in the Fellowship Hall. In addition, new fencing around the parking lot was installed and lights were added to the ceiling fans.
We have purchased new drums, a keyboard, computer, fax, email, internet, big screen TV, projector, screen, dvd/tape recorder, video camera and other tools to help us spread the word of God while holding fast to the traditional teachings through Bible Study.
We know that with our faith in God, we will see growth and prosperity for Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church. As the word of God is proclaimed, lives are being saved and new members are joining our fellowship.
To God be the glory for the marvelous things He has done. We thank God for those whose shoulders we now stand. We thank God for those in leadership positions as they guide us into a new era of praising and worshiping God.
We are a church purposed to educate, equip and empower the people of God to operate in life and in ministry in a spirit of excellence.
Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church was a part of the old Delaware Conference, which was formed in 1800s to authorize the ordaining of colored men as deacons. In 1808 the quarterly conference was given the right to recommend local preachers for ordination subject to the examination of character and approval of the Annual Conference. The Delaware Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1864 under a directive of the General Conference of that year which designated the name, the boundaries, and the qualifications for membership. The resolution allowed the "bishop to organize into one or more annual conferences such local elders as have traveled two or more years under a presiding elder, and shall be recommended by a quarterly conference, and by at least ten elders who are members of an annual conference.
On July 28, Bishop Edmund S. Janes met the twenty-seven colored preachers who had been traveling within the bounds of the Philadelphia and New Jersey Annual Conferences in little, unattractive John Wesley Chapel (now Tindley Temple) in South Philadelphia. The following day, the Bishop having found ten preachers eligible, declared them to be the Delaware Annual Conference. The Delaware Conference was small and its geographical area was limited. It should be understood that the main reason for organization of the Conference and its continuation for a century was race.
Local preachers rendered a great service to the people of the Delaware Conference. The local preacher was from the people and he lived among the people. He knew them and their weaknesses. If he had a will to go straight and a teachable mind, he proved himself on the way up. He was used as a supply, and in that way he demonstrated whether he merited admission into the Conference as a traveling preacher. One hundred seventy-eight of the 1,978 local preachers were admitted to the ranks of itinerancy during the history of the conference. In its 101 years, the Delaware Conference had 72 presiding elders and district superintendents. In June 1964, the Delaware Conference, under the permissive legislation of the General Conference transferred to the New York and Newark conferences nineteen churches with their pastor. On April 28, 1965, in preparation for the transfer of the remaining 239 charges and pastors to the New Jersey, Peninsula, and Philadelphia conferences, Bishop John Wesley Lord declared the Delaware Annual Conference liquidated. Thus, race as expressed in Methodist Conference organizations disappears, and our Methodism moves on toward the more excellent way of oneness in Christ's church.
The history of the Delaware Annual Conference spanned 101 significant years in the life of our United Methodist Church. It was the first black Conference to be organized under the directive of General Conference and the first one to voluntarily merge with white conferences. It set high standards of faithfulness to Jesus Christ as it witnessed to the world the larger church of the power of God in a bitter society.
On July 1, 1965 the merger of the Delaware Annual Conference and the Peninsula Annual Conference became effective. Throughout the history of Mt. Calvary United Methodist Church from the old Delaware Conference until our present Peninsula-Delaware Conference, we have been privileged to be lead by dynamic and God fearing Pastors. Their names are listed on the following page. Through their leadership and devotion to spreading God's word, we know that the best is yet to come for our church.

This is it, my first big conference presentation. Although I was a tiny bit nervous I think most of the message has come across. And it felt great that the audience was so engaged and some interaction happened during the round of questions.
After my first lightning talk at an unconference I was selected to do a full-length talk at the next PHPBenelux Conference. To prepare myself for this first-time experience I reached out to the organisation and asked them if I could test-run my presentation at a user group meeting. Thankfully they accepted and invited me for one of their meetups.
Starting Continuous Integration seems like a tedious task, this presentation will get you gradually up and running.
After giving a few presentations internally at the companies I worked for I was ready to face an audience who I don't know. At the opening of the Dutch PHP Conference 2010 there was a call for the first uncon slot. So during the opening keynote I quickly composed this little presentation. This time another short talk about continuous integration. This lightning talk quickly shows why you should care for code quality and how you can get started.

Employee Conduct Policy 4-2
Policy 4-2
Employee Conduct
The School Board is committed to establishing a workforce dedicated to the education of the City's youth and creating an environment conducive to productivity for the benefit of both staff and students. Inappropriate conduct both in and outside of the workplace can interfere with instruction and operations, can discredit the organization, can be offensive to others, and is nonproductive. It is the policy of the School Board to recruit and employ highly professional employees who demonstrate the highest ethical behavior on the job and outside the workplace.
Standards of Employee Conduct
The Superintendent will promulgate core values and standards of conduct to guide employees in meeting the School Board's expectations and will establish and promulgate to all employees disciplinary procedures and regulations necessary to implement the School Board policy. Therefore, all employees are to:
Serve as role models for the students in the School Division. All employees must recognize that as a condition of their employment, they must model legal, moral and professional behaviors, both inside and outside the workplace;
Demonstrate respect toward coworkers, supervisors, subordinates, students, parents, and the public;
Comply with all School Board policies, School Division regulations, and state and federal laws and regulations;
Demonstrate the necessary skills, maturity, ability in dealing with others, and understanding of their job functions;
Be committed to the achievement of VBCPS Strategic Plan goals and objectives;
Comply with the School Division's requirement that an alcohol, tobacco, ecigarette, vaping, weapons, and drug free work environment be maintained;
Report to work as scheduled and seek approval from their administrator in advance for any changes to the established work schedule, including the use of leave and late or early arrivals and departures;
Perform assigned duties and responsibilities in a manner that invokes the highest degree of public trust and devote full effort to job responsibilities during work hours;
Use School Board resources, including School Division funds, time, property, and technology for authorized purposes only;
Maintain the qualifications, certification, licensure, and/or training requirements identified for their positions;
Work in a collegial and collaborative manner with peers, school personnel or agents, and the community to promote and support student learning;
Exhibit respect for all manner of diversity among students, staff, and the community, and adhere to all School Board policies and regulations prohibiting discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth or related conditions, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, genetic information or any other basis prohibited by law;
Dress in a professional manner that is neat, clean, appropriate, and safe in the work place, at school-sponsored activities, and when representing the School Division;
Maintain all confidential information consistent with School Board policies, regulations, as well as state and federal laws, regulations and guidance;
Comply with the Virginia State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act;
Use leave and related employee benefits in the manner for which they were intended and consistent with law, policy and regulation;
Resolve work-related issues and disputes in a professional manner and through established processes;
Meet or exceed established job performance expectations;
Report circumstances or concerns that may affect satisfactory work performance to administration, including any inappropriate activities of other employees; and
Obtain approval from the appropriate administrator prior to working overtime, if non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Note, the preceding list is not intended to be all-inclusive; rather, it is to illustrate the minimum expectations for acceptable conduct and performance.
Employee-Student Relations
At no time shall an employee's conduct or relationship with a student impede or negatively affect the student's education or participation in educational programs or services.
Employees must recognize and establish appropriate boundaries between themselves and students, and must not engage in any behaviors or interactions with students, in person or through any communication media, which is or could be perceived as inappropriate, intimate, unduly familiar, grooming, sexual, or harassing in nature. Accordingly, the following standards apply to all interactions between employees and students:
Employees may use electronic communications with students for legitimate purposes connected to school programs or services, including participation in athletics and extracurricular activities. Any employee initiated communications must be directly related to a school program or activity;
Employees should communicate with students only for official purposes and refrain from communication of a personal nature. Employees should not provide students with access or invitations to their own personal social media sites; nor should employees access the personal social media sites of students;
Employees shall not cause any student to miss instructional time or school sponsored activities for non-educational purposes;
Employees shall not assist or encourage a student's use of controlled substance or unauthorized substance, including but not limited to, tobacco, electronic cigarettes, vaping products, alcohol, and drugs, and should not attend any function where students are in possession of, or are using such substances;
Employees shall not purposefully meet with minor students outside school or school activities, without the knowledge and consent of the minor student's parent/guardian;
Employees shall not solicit, discuss, propose participate in nor arrange any intimate, romantic, or sexual relationship with a student while the student is a current VBCPS student, even if the proposed relationship does not occur or would not occur until after the student is an adult and graduates or leaves VBCPS;
Employees who have reason to believe, or are advised by other staff or supervisors, that their interactions with a student(s) may be viewed as inappropriate, unduly familiar, intimate, grooming, or sexual in nature, shall take all reasonable measures to immediately correct the behavior, including termination of any electronic or other non-school related communications. Actions taken to address such concerns will not preclude the employee from being disciplined for such behavior; and
Any employee who has reason to know of a possible violation of these standards by another employee shall report the behavior to his or her principal or department head or to the Office of Employee Relations.
Disciplinary action
The purpose of this Policy is to set forth guidelines for expected conduct and to assist employees in understanding their responsibilities and roles as School Board employees. Failure to comply with expected conduct, conditions of employment and job responsibilities may result in guidance and discipline, up to and including dismissal and recommendation of license revocation (where applicable), and referral to appropriate authorities.
Disciplinary action shall be consistently and fairly applied and shall be taken only for good reason;
The severity of the disciplinary actions shall be determined by the severity of the misconduct;
When appropriate, verbal counseling will first be used to correct employee conduct. Such actions are not grievable;
In general, formal disciplinary actions shall be progressive in nature, ranging from a written reprimand to a recommendations for dismissal when corrective behavior fails to occur.
Progressive discipline is not always appropriate, and administrators may recommend a more or less stringent action based on the severity of the violation, including dismissal and other appropriate action, for the first offense.
Conduct Outside of the Workplace
The School Board recognizes that employees retain the right to keep their personal lives separate from their positions as School Board employees. Yet, due to the unique position that School Board employees serve in the community as role models, leaders and caretakers for the School Division's students, certain conduct is inconsistent with employment with the School Board.
Applicants who have convictions for felonies, offenses involving sexual molestation, physical or sexual abuse or rape of a child, convictions for crimes of moral turpitude1, or founded cases of child abuse or neglect will not be eligible for employment by the School Board. Current employees who are convicted of any of the above noted crimes or have founded cases of child abuse or neglect shall be recommended for termination, and may be terminated from employment by the School Board.2
Other conduct that jeopardizes the School Board's or the community's trust in the employee's ability to perform his duties may be the basis for disciplinary action. Examples of such conduct include, but are not limited to: drug or alcohol abuse that becomes open and notorious; plea bargains to lesser crimes after being charged with crimes that would disqualify an employee from employment; misuse of School Board property; intentional conflicts of interests; interference of personal matters with performance of duties; and inappropriate social networking activities on Internet sites or other public mediums. In such cases the School Board reserves the right to take disciplinary action that promotes the integrity and safety of the staff and students.
All employees have access to the Employee Handbook that summarizes the School Board policies and School Division regulations applicable to all employees. Updates to the Employee Handbook will be made available via the School Division's Intranet site. The Employee Handbook shall also be provided to new hires at the time of onboarding.
The purpose of the Employee Handbook and updates is to inform employees about the terms and conditions of their employment. Neither the Employee Handbook nor the updates constitutes a contract or is otherwise binding on the School Board or School Division.
School Board Bylaws, Policies and School Division Regulations
The School Board's bylaws, policies and School Division regulations are available to employees in the following locations: The School Division Intranet at www.vbcps.com and School Division Internet website at www.vbschools.com.

During the Health Systems in Asia conference last weekend in Singapore, I was able to identify a clear trend. No, not pluralism in Asian health systems, we already knew that one. But rather, on two of the four days the closing thoughts from different speakers involved 4Cs. In keeping with this important new trend, I've decided to frame my blog similarly. And so I present to you my four takeaways from the conference using the same '4C framework': Confucius, context, communication, and coverage.
One of the benefits of livetweeting from the conference, is the ability to pull together a blog in relatively short order that highlights some of the key discussion points from the confence into a Storify. See our Storify from the conference below!
Like most aspects of life in Asia, health systems have undergone massive changes in the last twenty years. And if we've seen some economic dragons, we've also seen some health dragons – with several countries posting impressive gains in health outcomes. But 'health dragons' doesn't quite capture the full picture. For the most part these changes have not been happening as a result of a controlled change process. Rather, they've been emerging from the diverse, unguided responses of some of the most populous countries in the world. This means they look more like another mythical creature: the many-headed hydra.


Happy Monday everyone! I hope all the dads out there had a great Father's Day! I had a fairly hectic weekend- but in a good way!
Friday my family went to my wittle cousin's high school graduation! It was the shortest graduation I have ever been to, which was greatly appreciated. They had a few speeches and a song and then BAM! they were reading off the names for the kiddos to pick up their fake diplomas. YAY Patrick!!! You'll still be the little boy who screamed whenever he had to put on sunscreen to me.
And apparently all the cool kids (boys) wear shorts under their gowns now. In my day, the boys HAD to wear slacks or they weren't allowed to walk. But my high school was super uptight and also didn't allow leis and decorated caps.
After dinner and catching up with the fam, my parents, sister and I didn't get back until really late that night. So Saturday I hit snooze a bazillion times and slept in instead of waking up early to run. I started my run around 11AM. And man that hurt. It was hot. 6 miles total- 3 easy and 3 @ pace (8:51).
Well, my running plan has 2-3 days of tough speedwork + an extra 1-2 days of easy runs with a little speedwork mixed in. This may work for some people, but I quickly discovered this isn't working for me.
After a tough tempo run and 400m repeats during the week, my body was NOT ready for those 3 @ pace miles. At this point of my running "career," I can easily run 6 miles and I know I can run 3 miles at an 8:51 pace. But my legs were so beat from earlier in the week, I found it hard to keep those 3 miles sub-9 min. And those last "easy" miles. Ugh. I was struggling to keep those under a 10:30 pace.
So for right now I am going to change my plan to only incorporate 2 days of hard speedwork. I may not progress as quickly, but I think this is the safest way to avoid injury!
After my run, Kyle and I had to do some errands and then we were off to his cousin's graduation party. It was great to see all of Kyle's family! At one point I whispered to Kyle that some of his cousin's friends looked like they were 13 years old. He laughed and told me that's what high schoolers look like. That made me feel old!
Anyways, Sunday I didn't get a run in cause it was Father's Day!
My sis and I made my dad breakfast and then we did some stuff around the house while my dad watched golf. Before we knew it, it was time to take my grandpa (on my mom's side) out to lunch. Lunch took forever (>2 hours!) so by the time we got home, we had just enough time to let my dad open presents and then it was time to drive to my other grandpa's house. We spent the afternoon/evening chatting and then took my grandpa out to dinner.
Was your high school super strict about graduation?
Did you do anything for Father's Day?
Previous Post I will be going to graduations for the rest of my life.
Oh man, one of my classmates stripped off her gown on stage to reveal a bikini! And we had beach balls batted around all day and stuff, not strict at all. I had a cute little cocktail dress though, neon pink just for fun 🙂 I do 1 interval session and 1 tempo run each week and keep the rest VERY easy!
I try to do one interval workout and one tempo run per week if I'm in the middle of training…but if I get them both in, it's a good week. I wouldn't be able to do any more speed days than 2.
My high school wasn't too strict but my friends and I were all such rule-followers no one did anything crazy. Also, who cares if your hair is big? It looks awesome and there's a saying in the south "the higher the hair, the closer to God" haha! And you're going to love your 10k!
I graduated from a Catholic high school so they were strict about everything including the kinds of shoes we wore! I guess I don't blame the guys, those gowns can get hot! I am terrible about doing speed play. I think I need a running coach to help me get on track for my next half! I just get stuck in running miles and not adding any special training to improve. Yikes!
The kids took me bowling for Father's Day and then we went for ice cream…not a bad day at all!
Awwww LOVE it!!! Glad you had a great Father's Day!
I do speed work once per week because I hit it really hard when I do. Any more than that and my body would probably fall apart.
American schools confuse me! I haven't graduated (yet, hopefully one day!) but I did go to college, I think our college is different to your college though. By the way – I love your hair!
You have Texas sized hair. You'll fit right in when you visit. Love the Spongebob sign!
Yeah, you need to be careful with the speedwork – it makes you faster but increases injury chances. I've been doing track workouts once a week, but I also push my shorter runs. I 'm supposed to take it easy on long runs, but havent' been sticking to that so much. I think we need coaches.
Yeah I think you're right! I'm back down to 2 speed work days/week. I agree, come move to CA and then we'll get a coach. I don't handle humidity well.

Q: How does Python's "print" function is working? I'm interested how does Python's print function determines what is the string encoding, and how to handle it?
For example I've got the string:
str1 = u'\u041e\u0431\u044a\u0435\u043c
print(str1)  # Will be converted to Объем`

What is going on under the hood of python?
Update
I'm interested in CPython 2.7 implementation of python

A: It uses the encoding in sys.stdout.encoding, which comes from the environment it's running in.

A: The u in front of the string makes a difference.The 'u' in front of the string values means the string has been represented as unicode. It is a way to represent more characters than normal ascii can manage.
The default encoding for Python source code is UTF-8, so you can simply include a Unicode character in a string literal.

Dreams cost more than you think.
Traditionally, the American Dream has included home ownership, an occupied two-car garage, and 2.5 children who reach adulthood via leafy college campus. Home ownership and the American Dream have been linked since 1934, when President Franklin Roosevelt created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) to help more people qualify for mortgages. Over the ensuing decades, presidential administrations have promoted home ownership as the path to financial stability, a responsible aspiration as sensible as eating one's vegetables and flossing daily.
But then the Great Recession hit in 2007, and everything changed. Home owners with exotic loans reset at higher interest rates just as their property values nosedived. Including a mortgage payment in a monthly budget became a pipe dream for many. Foreclosures mushroomed, new housing developments were abandoned, and today you can buy the distressed childhood home of rapper Eminem for the housing market equivalent of pocket change.
Today the economy is healing, and the foreclosure pipeline shows signs it will mostly empty out in the next year or two. Affordability is still relatively high, but the lowest cost listings have been mostly drained from the market since being bought by private firms interested in single family rental properties. Some first-time buyers and buyers with sketchy credit want to buy property, but the American Dream has changed. Today's monthly budget may or may not include the cost of home ownership.
The youngest poll respondents (ages 18 to 24) were most likely to define being debt-free as the American Dream, while those age 65 and older were most likely to describe it as being able to retire. At the same time, older respondents were less optimistic about becoming debt-free. When asked about the possibility of being free of debt, 18 to 24 year olds were most optimistic about achieving that goal, whereas those in the 50 to 64 age group were much less likely to believe they would ever be free of debt.
Plenty of people dream of a financial windfall they can use for getting out of debt, but realistically the humble monthly budget is the tool that actually accomplishes this goal. The three main principles of creating a monthly budget are understanding what you're spending, what you earn, and estimating monthly expenditures. Mint.com offers free online tools to help people track spending and create a monthly budget, whether it includes a mortgage payment or not.
If your monthly budget comes up short, remember that the most important bills are those that have the steepest consequences if unpaid: Rent or mortgage, utilities, and food. If you're paying off credit card debt, set a goal of paying the minimum plus a certain amount each month. Even if you only put $10 per month over the minimum toward credit card debts, you'll pay them off sooner and save significant amounts of interest.
Don't include "found money" in your monthly budget. This isn't money that can be counted on, like birthday gifts and bonuses. Use found money to lower your debt, and you buy something more satisfying than a new cappuccino maker. You buy yourself increased financial freedom.
The American population is changing, and American dreams are changing, too. Young people today dream of being debt-free and may or may not dream of owning a home. Whatever your American Dream is, your monthly budget is the foundation upon which it will be built.
