15 Best "Free Website Uptime Monitoring Services (Our 2019 Picks)"
We've all been there — eagerly looking forward to getting a meal or a drink at a favorite establishment, only to arrive and learn your spot is closed that day. More often than not, you probably just forgot to check the restaurant's hours — but what if the business just randomly closed right before your big feast?
Website visitors experience the same frustrations and aggravations when a website is down or unavailable. As a site owner, you may not always know when (or why) your online presence crashes. Instead of manually checking your site around the clock, uptime monitoring tools will keep a steady eye on your website and let you know if something doesn't seem right. In this article, we're diving into all your monitoring options, from services included with your hosting plan to third-party programs that can offer more in-depth information.
Broadly speaking, website monitoring involves testing and verifying that visitors can interact with a site as expected. Uptime, or availability, is typically the prominent characteristic to track, but comprehensive services can also track user interactions, server or network performance, DNS records, code revisions, and other functionalities.
If a monitoring service detects an error or failure, it will typically send alerts by email, text, chat, or social media. These notifications often include diagnostic information that enables administrators to correct the issue faster. Historical data is compiled into various reports and graphs, and the information gathered can help you assess your site's performance or even hold your hosting provider accountable if it falls short of its uptime guarantee or service level agreement.
When it comes to downtime, every second counts — particularly for eCommerce stores and other online businesses. Unplanned outages cost Fortune 1,000 companies between $1.25 billion and $2.5 billion each year. Beyond lost sales, less exposure, and terrible first impressions, downtime can harm your brand's reputation and leave customers unsatisfied.
Internal website monitoring, like the services you most commonly see with hosting providers, entails tracking important metrics that give an overall picture of your server health and performance: memory usage, disk space, CPU load, and response times. External monitoring, however, checks on performance issues across the entire internet backbone and, often, all the way to end users of your site.
Read on for the best monitoring options available; tools included with hosting plans can be difficult to find but can offer great savings and usability. Third-party services, however, often provide deeper insights in exchange for a fee.
In addition to wildly appealing prices, Hostwinds packs a ton of impressive features into all levels of its plans. With a guaranteed uptime rate of 99.999% — meaning less than 6 minutes of downtime per year — the company's clients hardly need to monitor uptime, but Hostwinds provides a highly customizable monitoring tool to shared, business, and reseller customers.
In addition to alerting site owners when an issue has been detected, the Hostwinds Advanced Website Monitoring service will automatically create a support ticket on your behalf. Customers can monitor their site's availability, email performance, DNS settings, and custom scripts and ports, all with the ability to tailor alert settings and message content.
With so many customers and websites sharing a single physical server, uptime monitoring is pretty uncommon at the shared hosting level. More commonly, hosting providers enable site owners to track their resource usage to monitor how their web presence fits within the individual plan's restrictions. Although control panels like cPanel don't directly monitor uptime, the data you can uncover will paint a picture of your environment's overall health.
With redundancy and stability at the core of cloud hosting networks, downtime should theoretically be among the least of your concerns. However, you'll still want to track business-critical uptime rates. Budget-friendly 1&1 IONOS offers monitoring services built into its cloud management panel. Data is more concentrated around server load, usage, and response times, but the information should still suffice in letting you know how healthy your hosting environment is.
Media Temple, however, is a premium service with excellent managed support perfect for businesses that need high-powered infrastructure and plenty of help maintaining the technical side of things. The company's CloudTech customers can activate a monitoring panel that allows them to monitor the response time, activity, and resource utilization of up to five domains.
Get started on MediaTemple now.
Perfect for designers and agencies, reseller hosting plans enable entrepreneurs and freelancers to act as their clients' hosting provider. The hosts listed below enable you to monitor more than just your own uptime, but that of all the websites you oversee. You can collect the data to measure your own performance and effectiveness as a host and share the reports with customers to demonstrate the value you bring to their online presence.
While Hostwinds concentrates on server performance and availability, GoDaddy offers multiple types of monitoring services. As the world's leading domain registrar, GoDaddy enables you to track changes made to the registration settings of particular domains. You can be notified by email when anything changes, meaning you can act quickly to acquire a domain as soon as it becomes available.
For GoDaddy Pro customers overseeing multiple websites for clients, the Uptime Monitor tool is an easily configurable option included within the dashboard. The service checks your sites every minute and will alert you via email, text, or Slack when a site goes down and comes back online.
Of course, you may be a little skeptical of hosting providers reporting on themselves. Whether your host lacks the needed monitoring tools or you want independent verification of your website's availability, here are a handful of third-party services for you to consider. No matter your budget, technical expertise, or needed features, we're confident these tools cover the full gamut of potential customers and website administrators.
Who best to trust with tracking your WordPress website's uptime than the folks who built the platform itself?

Uptimia unleashed several updates in 2018, making the service an appealing option for those looking for modern features.
Uptimia checks customers' sites from more than 171 datacenters around the world, and additional updates over the summer introduced root cause analysis, deeper insights into individual polling logs, and increased sharing and collaboration tools. If you're not sure of footing the bill quite yet, Uptimia offers free tests for website speed and availability.

If your current host doesn't appear on this list, don't worry. You can often find internal monitoring statistics within your cPanel or account management dashboard that will give you a sense of how your service is performing. Many of our favorite hosts, including Bluehost, InMotion Hosting, and Site Ground, offer transparent, public-facing tools where site owners can view the status of the company's overall network and services — some even enable you to check your website specifically. When it comes to website monitoring, remember that all information is helpful!


Granite is by far the most popular choice for monuments and memorials today because of its durability, beauty and availability. Granite is often mistakenly referred to as marble because of its different geological formation, is much harder and more durable than marble.
Granite is an igneous stone consisting of quartz, mica and feldspar. It was originally in a molten state as lava. As it cooled over a period of millions of years it was exposed to extreme pressures far below the earth's surface. As the earths crust shifted, the granite deposits worked their way to the surface and today are quarried in many different states and foreign countries.

Leaked Surface Mini renders reveal what it would've looked like in red
By Zac Bowden
last updated 29 November 2018
New leaked renders of Microsoft's canceled Surface Mini give us our best look yet at what could've been.
Leaked marketing material of Microsoft's canceled Surface Mini have popped up on the web just a few days ago, revealing what the Surface Mini would have looked like in red. Evan Blass, known for leaking all kinds of devices before they launch posted the images on Twitter, along with device specifications.
The images and specifications confirm what we reported on just a few weeks ago, where we exclusively revealed what the Surface Mini looked like in photos. The marketing material appears to be showing off renders of a red Surface Mini, which confirms there was going to be multiple colors of the Surface Mini to choose from. The one we photographed was black, for example.
Canceled before its time
These marketing renders may be our best look yet at what Microsoft was cooking up internally for a smaller Surface. Canceled at the last minute, the Surface Mini was going to be Microsoft's shining star in 2014, running Windows RT with pen support for note taking and inking on the go.
Specs pic.twitter.com/2ksMpPsOJHSpecs pic.twitter.com/2ksMpPsOJH— Evan Blass (@evleaks) 2 September 20172 September 2017
The decision to kill the device just weeks before it launched was likely for the best, however. Windows RT was a failing platform, and there wasn't many apps in the Windows RT Store that could've shown off the potential of a Surface Mini device. OneNote was the only true app that would've made sense on a mini Surface.
Blass' leaks also confirm that the device was going to ship with a Snapdragon 800 processor and either 1GB or 2GB of RAM. It had a Full HD display at 7.5 inches and an aspect ratio of 4:3, which is great a size for a mini tablet.
The leaked technical specifications also confirm that the Surface Mini had an internal codename of "Iris", and would've come bundled with a Surface Pen in box. It's a true shame that such a device was canceled. Perhaps Microsoft will give it another go in the future, with Windows 10 instead. Would you be interested in a Surface Mini with Windows 10?

Microsoft Surface Mini
See all comments (53)
Panos always mentioned that he had some form of mini tablet by his bedside to take notes in the middle of the night. I bet it was one of these...
Well he actually officially said it was the Surface Mini. Said he loved it.
A wise choice to cancel it
Why? I a man aching for an ARM based (long battery life) iPad mini sized device. But with store only (so secure) and with full mouse I.e. Productivity support!!!
Windows RT.
I agree. It was either going to be cancelled by MSFT or it was going to bomb in the market place, thereby killing the entire surface line.
look at those bezels :P
I have paper and pen, bollox to blue light sleep disruption, I may end up turning into a second-hand salesman like Panos lol
Don't worry the Surface Courier is coming.
it's...red. It looks nice. probably would've done without the bezel on the top, but I see the point while you're holding it in landscape. Would've been nice.
Looks like a Kindle Fire Kids Edition.
Fast-forward that device to present-day, beef up the specs and I think you'd have a true competitor to iPad mini -- and the plethora of android tablets out there. I find the Surface Pro 4 is a bit bulky when it comes to a true note-taking device. Legal pad-sized devices like the Pro 4/Pro are great but I find myself yearning for something smaller and more mobile.
Not wanting to be a Grammar ****, but the headline is a bit too informal with the 'would've'... just saying.
I personally like informal. Everything is way to stiff these days...
Looks a lot like the Lumia 2520... Good call to cancel!!!
Sorry if I come across as somewhat uneducated for asking this, but what was the point of Windows RT? Was it the forerunner to Windows 10S?
It was a version of Windows 8.1. It was similar to W10S in that both are locked into installing only apps from the app store. However, WRT was built to run on only ARM platform devices. It wasn't great, but it worked for people that didn't need the full Surface Pro experience. I believe Surface 3 was the last Surface tablet to run WRT. W10S is the same as the regular W10 except for being locked down to the app store.
@shryx86 No, Surface 3 has an Intel Atom chip and runs Windows 10, not Windows RT.
Windows RT was meant for ARM tablet environment, however the naming was so bad so it didn't get as popular as they expected. Windows 10S is the next gen of RT. My 2 cents.
It is a much more secure version of windows that stripped out all the legacy code that can be exploited to cause issues. Windows 10S is a similar product with similar goals.
Previous answers are correct but incomplete, as there were two interlinked ideas behind Windows 8 RT.
First, it was running on ARM processors, like Windows 10 Mobile and the upcoming Windows 10 for ARM.
Second, it was limited to apps and games from the Windows Store. These two were linked because different processor architectures require different binaries to run, so desktop applications designed for PCs would have to be recompiled for ARM, a third option to the x86 and x64 you regularly see, to run on Windows 8 RT.
Instead of making this easier for developers and hoping for them to provide ARM versions for a limited market, Microsoft decided to lock these devices to run only Microsoft-signed apps, limiting the desktop environment to Office RT, and forcing WinRT apps (Store apps) as the only way for 3rd party to target these devices. This was both good and bad, good in the sense that the OS could be streamlined and secured, but also limiting the 3rd party apps available, especially at that time when capabilities of WinRT was very limited compared to its UWP evolution. Windows 10 originally dropped the ARM support, except for Windows 10 Mobile (phones), which didn't need desktop apps and games compatibility anyway. Then they decided to make both benefits possible and independent.
Windows 10 S is a full Windows 10 on x86/x64, but borrowing the apps limitations from Windows RT to make it more secure.
On the other hand, Windows 10 on ARM (WoA), probably coming for this holiday season with the Fall Creators Update, makes it possible to build tablets and computers based on ARM processors, lightweight and more power-efficient, but less powerful than x86/x64 ones. However, unlike Windows 8 RT, Windows 10 ARM can run both applications compiled for ARM64, but thanks to a new emulation technology, those compiled for x86 as well, making it compatible with almost every desktop software available today. This means x86 apps run on ARM64 like they do on x64 today, through the Windows 32 on Windows 64 layer (WOW64), but implementing the x86 compatibility in software instead of inside the processor. Thanks to the WoA WOW64 x86 emulation, any combination is possible, and manufacturers can choose their processor (x86, x64 or ARM64) based on target usage of their device, and choose to provide a secure but locked-down environment (Pro/Home or S) depending on target users of their device.
Yes, and your last paragraph is exactly the idea of One Windows. One totally modular Windows that can shift, or be shifted buy OEM'S, in real time to adapt to any device imaginable.. And, that variety of processors would be completely necessary for this to happen. It seems to me that the future of Windows is quite obvious.. One general version for all consumer devices.
Anything else would be what we have today.. Redundance & Confusion.
Exactly !
And it's not just for consistency between different devices. Having a single Windows that adapt to any form factor we can think of today, including phones and VR and MR stand-alone HMDs, will enable manufacturers to build the next generation of devices.
CShell will make devices that change form at runtime possible, enabling hybrid devices.
If a manufacturer has to imagine a new form factor and then build their custom OS or hope for Microsoft to consider it interesting enough to adapt Windows for it, it slows down evolution. Making sure Windows and UWP apps can adapt to any screen size (phone, tablet, desktop, TV, conference-room screen, no screen) and any input method (keyboard, mouse, kinect/gestures, touch, pen, eyes, ...) is the only way to speed up the seamless computing, where computers are everywhere, but nowhere, adapting to your current environment and activity. The one scenario I see missing in current target is the 360° shell, to enable face-up touchscreens used as digital tables for multi-users computing. This was the primary goal of the Surface tabletop flavor of Windows, and should really be enabled again in CShell and UWP. This should be a mode where the shell and apps can rotate around the screen to face users sitting anywhere around it.
Looks neat, but they made the right choice.
The red looks nice! The should make it for Surface Pro line too.
I need a device like this in my life, with LTE. I would pay all the money.
Yes, I would take a Surface Mini running W10A with Cshell, Telephone & Messaging capabilities, SD840, 6GB ram, 120GB Rom, all in a slim, pocketable size, either with a 6.5" non foldable screen, or a foldable screen with a total larger display area.
I'm pretty sure that's what a lot of fans are dreaming about.
6.5"? People who want that are going to buy the Note 8 with 6.3" but no bezels lol A Mini tablet that runs Windows might be useful as a note taking device. But telephony? Lol give it up, Rod. That thing you're thinking and describing isn't happening ;P
Why should I give it up because you speculate that it's not happening? What official word from MS do you have, to show me that it's not happening, so that I should give up on my idea that it is?.. Seems to me that as it stands your guess is as good as mine, and we'll just have to all wait, and see... Now, if you want to argue that your opinion is correct over mine, then more power to you, but you can't reasonably expect me to convert my opinion to yours only based on your doubt. I'm not saying that you have to believe mine, because I have no official evidence, only speculation based on work I believe MS is currently doing with W10, and mobile. For me to say that I predict that a mobile device is coming is only my opinion. If you're saying you know for a fact that no mobile device is coming, then you need to produce some official statement from MS confirming so. If you can't say that you know for a fact that a mobile device isn't coming, then your disagreement with me is irrelevant, because at that point we both have the same opinion.. It just doesn't get anymore logical than this.
Do you know for a fact that a mobile device isn't coming?
Do you know it IS happening?
1. No
2. Read
Ok, so his point is just as valid as yours!
Give it cellular phone usability and I on it!!
Why go small? I want a 24" gaming tablet running W10 (s), i7, 1080ti, 1Tb SSD and so on... And I want a super accurate and smooth drawing experience.
So, you want a 24" Surface Studio running W10S....
It looks dated.
🤔... I think that's kinda expected for a device that was in development back in 2013, possibly even 2012... Have you seen how clunky the original Surface looks now?
This device was KILLED because Nadella decided to KILL the Windows RT operating system devices because of = Poor sales. later Microsoft brought out the Surface 3 Atom CPU tablet which sold pretty well but did not have the performance of the Surface Pro line of Windows Tablets. IT did MS office well and was a good basic computer for Entertainment content and surfing the Web as long as a person did not do a lot of multitasking. I was going to buy one but Microsoft cancelled them. a lot of people Still use and like the MS Surface 3 Atom CPU tablet.
Windows RT was a was a joke. Just buy any full windows tablet , its a pleasure to use.
Want to hear a joke Windows RT
Want to hear another? Surface phone.
Yes, of course. It will be better if it was foldable tablet with two 8 inch screen
Would this have done well on the market? Probably not. One of the FEW decisions I agree with from Nadella (don't wanna kill Surface line). However, I myself would have loved this. At that size, I use two Android tablets which I despise, but being that I really enjoy the the user interface of Windows RT and being pen enabled, I would have used this thing all the time. Some have mentioned bezels... Not an issue for me and any who likes Windows RT because of the swiping from the edges. Also, some also say it looked like the Lumia 2520... I dunno..
It wouldn't have worked solely for the same reason Surface RT and Surface 2 didn't work: customer confusion and underpowered hardware. 1 GB RAM? Come on.
I'm not sure Microsoft has ever taken these smaller devices seriously. I've been using an 8" Dell for several months and an 8" Lenovo Miix prior to that. Neither Edge nor Internet Explorer work well in this format. The title bar, tab bar, address bar and status bar all take up too much room, leaving very little space for the web page. Some websites are so wide, the page runs off the edge. Other apps also have trouble fitting in the 1080 x 800 pixel display.
Modern IE in Windows 8 worked great, Edge is definitely a step backwards for tablet usage. They're finally adding a full screen mode in the Fall Creators Update, but no option to swipe down for the address bar/tabs yet. This Surface Mini with a 4:3 ratio screen instead of the 16:10 (1280x800 or 1920x1200) of most 8" Windows tablets would've made net surfing in portrait mode a better experience.
I'd personally rather they released the display of the Surface Studio as a stand alone device more than a mini tablet (specially in a time where tablets are dying).
Surprise, surprise, it looks like a smaller Surface in red, consider me amazed.
So if they actually do WoA - will it make a come back....?
Wish a mini were on the way now. I'd like something to replace my venerable and still nicely useful Dell Venue 8 Pro within the next year or so with an 8" Surface Mini I have a Surface Pro 4 and a Surface 3 as well and each have their own purposes, but the light weight 8" full Windows 10 format is great, make that best, fou use lying on the couch. The most impotant feature of these tablets is the common Windows 10, Start Screen set ups, and programs, but having different formats for different personal and professional uses makes life grand. An 8" Surface would make it grander.
Wish an 8" Surface Mini were on the way now, I'd like to replace my venerable and still very useful Dell Venue 8 Pro in the next year or so. I also have a Surface Pro 4 and a Surface 3, which have specific size/format uses, but the 8" has its unique uses too.. While the most important feature of these tablets is common Windows 10, programs, and Start Screen set ups, the light weight 8" format, best for use on the couch, makes life grand. If it were an 8" Surface, it would be grander..
I agree with you. I always wanted an 8 inch Tablet / Smartphone hybrid device because working on a smart phone screen requies 200 strenth reading glasses if you want to avoid eye strain. I donot mind carry around a small shoulder bag to carry my Tablet smart phone hybrid in. you can put them in blazer, Suit jacket or vest too
One these with windows 10s and I would buy it in a heartbeat.

How to Start a Side Hustle and Stop Stressing About Saving
Business Finance Business Planning Personal Finance
Pay yourself first. Set financial goals. Automate your savings.
It doesn't matter which version of this personal finance mantra you've heard, it all means the same thing: saving money is an important part of your financial health.
But with the millennial generation dragging the weight of debt behind them and some boomers still licking their wounds from the fallout of 2008, plenty of people scoff at the idea of saving.
In fact, it's a major stress in their lives.
Instead of taking a defeatist attitude about how hard it can be to save when you're already struggling, focus on increasing your income.
It may sound easier said than done, but in this new freelance economy, it's become simpler than ever for people to increase their earning potential right from the comfort of the couch with a side job (and without jumping into a risky pyramid scheme).
How to Start a Side Hustle
Millennials have appropriated the term "hustle" with less of a salacious undertone. Instead, it now refers to an intense drive to accomplish goals, entrepreneurialism, and creating several sources of income.
Alternatively, a side hustle is a legal, above-board way to earn money in addition to a full-time job.
Some people bring in extra income with a specific goal in mind.
"I started a side hustle to help save up extra cash for a house," explains Lauren Bowling, founder of L Bee and The Money Tree. "I continued to do it while I renovated, which helped fund the projects that went grossly over budget."
Others start bringing in more money through side jobs in order to pursue career goals, like acting, or to pad existing bank accounts just to feel secure. Some just like being able to earn with side jobs from home so they can spend more time with family.
"When I started my side hustle I was earning an extra couple hundred bucks each month," says Stefanie O'Connell (@stefanieoconnel), author and founder of the site Stefanie O'Connell. "A year later, it's grown into a full-fledged income stream."
How to Find Your Side Hustle
Finding a side hustle isn't much different than finding a day job. You have to seek out opportunities through networking, job applications, and pitches.
Catherine Alford (@CatCAlford), public speaker and founder of Catherine Alfrod, started her side hustle of online writing three years ago.
Back then, she found job boards useful and got in the habit of cold emailing hundreds of website owners and businesses. She also began to build her own brand at the same time.
Brand building can be one of the most passive and yet lucrative ways to earn extra income. Developing a blog or other resource to showcase your work can easily turn into job offers.
"Most of my work has come through referrals and people finding my blog on Google, social media, etc.," says O'Connell. "If there's one thing I've learned, it's that potential for side hustle income can come from anywhere and everywhere, so I'm always keeping my options open and on the lookout for new opportunities."
Freelance writing isn't the only way to bring in some extra income. Check out this list of over 80 unique ways to start a side hustle.
What to Do With Your New Income
The first thing to do with new income is figuring out taxes.
Far too many people get into the side hustle game, spend the money and forget that Uncle Sam will come calling.
If you're earning a significant amount of money, you may need to be paying quarterly, estimated taxes (aka freelancers taxes).
Put aside at least 40% of each paycheck for taxes owed.
Once you've tucked away money for the IRS, figure out the best use for the rest of your funds.
Are you struggling with debt?
Your increased income can be used to pay down debt faster, which will of course reduce the overall interest you owe and save money in the long run.
Trying to retire early?
Don't just let your money sit in a 0.01% interest rate savings account. You need to be investing your money and make it work for you.
Whatever amount you'd like to keep liquid should be put into a savings account earning at least 1.00%.
It may not sound like a big difference, but $10,000 at 0.01% earns you $1.
At 1.00%, you'll get $100.
Some people even see side hustle money as a way to launch a new career. Alford did just that when she took the leap to become a full-time freelancer back on January 1, 2014.
"I saved a large emergency fund, got as many clients as I could, and braced to take the leap," says Alford. "So far, I've been self-employed for 15 months, and I don't see myself ever going back."

The art of community living starts with the 12.5 Condos, which are 13 townhome-style units designed by Holst Architecture and erected by the Portland home builders at H. Hudson Homes a few years back.
All sold now, these new homes brought a fresh splash of modern design to their northeast Portland neighborhood when they were built, with a crisp, white stucco exterior, wood-accented exterior wall surrounding the second floor and generously tall windows.
An aura of comfort and excellence is evident throughout the townhomes, which start at 1,200 square feet. The u-shaped building faces the street to the west and has a common drive separating the two wings of the townhomes. The dark, wood-lined walls that face the common drive offer a dramatic visual contrast to the white stucco exterior walls and the concrete below. To the east of the complex, you'll find a private garden.
The interior space offers a wall-to-wall kitchen on the second floor with countertops that are just as long. Equally as gratifying are the number of windows that you'll find throughout each unit and the private garages. Portland home builders constructed the 12.5 Condos with the environment in mind. In addition to using high quality, eco-friendly materials, the builders of the new homes in Portland, Oregon installed Energy Star-certified appliances (like the 92 percent efficient HVAC system with insulated ducting) and other amenities that add to comforts of the living spaces.


As I was reading a bag of Lay's chips the other day, I saw a phrase that they put in bold so it would stand out. Farm-grown potatoes. Really?
Sometimes I wonder about these marketing folks who write the copy on the products. Just where do they think they're going to get potatoes if they aren't farm grown? I can't imagine where the other guys are getting their potatoes. You think Pringles is stealing potatoes out of someone's garden or something? I wonder how many gardens that would take. Let's see—if you have a couple of rows of potatoes in your backyard, you might get a couple of bushels. I'm not sure how many bushels Pringles processes in a day, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot. If that's what they're doing, I bet they drive around in a Lay's truck. If you see a Lay's truck in your neighborhood being driving by a guy wearing a Pringles shirt, guard your potato patch.


Long before big box stores with their shelves of medicines, and long before the age of instant information, there was passed-down, time-tested wisdom on how to treat common ailments with natural remedies.
Our forefathers and foremothers used plants, common sense, and a little know-how to ease all types of pain and discomfort. In many cases, these treatments worked as well or better than the medications we purchase today. Plus, they worked without the risk of added chemicals and preservatives.
What's another side benefit? Many of these items are readily on hand in your pantry. Here are some lost remedies from the old days for 13 common ailments.
Horseradish – Moisturize your forehead and under-nose area. About fifteen minutes later, wrap two to three teaspoons of grated horseradish in a soft cloth or cheesecloth and apply to the base of your nose or forehead until you feel a light burning sensation. Remove.
Vitamin C – Squeeze the juice from half of a lemon into a cup. Drop the peel and remaining pulp into the cup as well. Add boiling water and a teaspoon of honey. Breathe in the steam as you stir and then sip slowly after it cools.
Nix the supermarket cough drops and try one of these remedies instead.
Basil – Chewing on some fresh basil leaves can relieve a dry cough.
Gargle – Make a simple but effective mouthwash of salt and warm water or freshly squeezed lemon juice and warm water. Gargle and repeat as often as needed.
Nutshell Tea – Place five ounces of nut shells in a teapot, add water, and boil. Sip slowly to soothe your throat.
Rinse one cup of needles before finely chopping them.
Next, place a half cup plus two tablespoons of water, two tablespoons of corn syrup, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a saucepan.
Whisk ingredients together and then boil for one minute without stirring.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the chopped needles, and steep the mixture for two to three hours.
Take two teaspoons of the resulting syrup to reduce cough and sore throat.
Pine Syrup – Try two teaspoons of pine syrup to ease a cough and a sore throat.
Here are a few first aid tips that use items you probably have on hand in your home.
Banana Peels – For minor cuts and scratches, wash the area and then rub gently with the inside of a banana peel.
Bread & Apple Cider Vinegar – To help heal a bruise, rub the area with bread that has been soaked in apple cider vinegar.
Aloe Vera, Chamomile Tea, or Honey – Apply directly to the area.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Here's an "old wives' take" your grandmother or great-grandmother may have recommended for reducing a high fever. Soak your socks in apple cider vinegar. Then put them on your feet and keep them on for about 20 minutes. You can repeat the process with fresh vinegar every half hour until the fever subsides.
Ginger Powder – Another idea is to make a paste of ginger powder and two tablespoons water. Place the paste on your forehead for a few minutes.
Peppermint Oil – The scent of pure peppermint oil can open clogged blood vessels in the head, easing headache pain.
Potato Slices – Did you know you can treat headaches with potato slices? Apply two to three slices of raw potato to your forehead. If necessary, keep them in place with a scarf or bandana. Another option is to grate a raw potato and squeeze any potato liquid into a glass of water. Sip the potato water.
Here are some old-school remedies for an upset stomach.
Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey – Stir one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a cup of warm water and sip slowly to ease indigestion pain.
Caraway Seeds – Nibble on a handful of caraway seeds to stop bloating discomfort.
CRAP Foods – I'm not talking about foods that taste like crap. I'm talking about the acronym which stands for cherries, raisins, apricots and prunes. These fruits are rich in fiber and help your digestive system function more smoothly.
Fennel – Chew a few pieces of raw fennel to help reduce gas and reduce stomach cramping.
Peppermint – This is a time-honored treatment for stomach upset. Try sipping peppermint tea or sucking on a piece of peppermint.
Boil four cups of water along with four sliced carrots.
Add either one peppermint teabag or one teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves.
Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes or so until the carrots soften.
Remove the tea bag (if using) and blend the mixture in a blender until smooth.
Adding a pinch of ground ginger or a squeeze of lemon juice will boost the antioxidants in this tea.
Here are a few natural remedies for bites and stings from pesky insects.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Apply apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball or a swab to the painful or itchy area.
Baking Soda & Water – Make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it the bite area and allow it to dry.
Basil – Place freshly crushed basil or sage on the area.
Onions, Leeks, or Cabbage – Apply slices of raw onions, leeks, or cabbage directly to the bite or sting.
Parsley, Honey, and Salt – Make a poultice of parsley, honey, and salt and place it on the spot.
Tea Bags – Press a used tea bag against the bite until the itching subsides.
Dark Red Cherries – Fresh dark red cherries or juice made from them are an excellent source of melatonin, a hormone that helps to regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle. Eat cherries or drink tart cherry juice about an hour before bedtime to help relax and get a good night's sleep.
To soothe the pain of a minor burn and to promote skin healing, try these natural treatments.
Aloe Vera – Cut the leaves of an Aloe Vera plant open and gently smear the contents on the burn or sunburn.
Banana – Lay the inside of a banana peel on the burn.
Egg – A raw beaten egg can be used as part of a poultice to soothe burned skin.
Olive Oil – Gently apply a layer of olive oil to the area.
Onion – Slice an onion and gently rub the open surface on the affected skin.
Potato – Place cut potato slices on the burned area.
Soften two or three cabbage leaves in boiled water.
Place them around the affected area for a few hours.
Cover them with a towel or a scarf as needed.
Stir together 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of molasses, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1 1/2 teaspons of ground ginger.
Add two quarts water and mix until dissolved.
Chill or serve over ice.
Chamomile Tea – Another method is to apply cooled-down or refrigerated chamomile tea to the irritated area with a cotton ball.
Oatmeal – Add oatmeal to warm bathwater to soothe and reduce itchiness, especially due to chicken pox.
Walnut Leaves – Age-old wisdom uses walnut leaves to treat skin problems. Boil green walnut leaves in water for 15 minutes. Let it cool before straining. Then apply the liquid to the skin using clean gauze or cloth.
Pioneer lore contains many tested remedies for toothaches.
Clove Oil – One of them involves soaking a cotton ball in clove oil and then pressing it on the painful area.
Cloves – Chewing a few cloves also can provide relief.
Garlic – Garlic is another natural remedy for tooth pain. You can simply press a clove of garlic onto the painful tooth. The garlic juice works as a natural anesthetic.
Peppermint Tea Bags – Apply them to soothe sensitive gums and ease mouth pain.
Not only do these treatments save time and money, but it feels good to use natural ingredients when we have an ailment.
What's amazing is we are just scratching the surface with this list of home remedies. There are many more home remedies out there. If you're interested in learning more old remedies, you should read The Lost Book Of Remedies.

El conde Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat (1867– 20 de noviembre de 1903) fue un aristócrata francés, conocido como corredor automovilístico.

Semblanza
Chasseloup-Laubat era hijo de Prosper, Marqués de Chasseloup-Laubat, ministro de Napoleón III, y de su mujer americana Marie-Louise Pilié.

Se hizo famoso por establecer el primer récord de velocidad reconocido oficialmente con un automóvil el 18 de diciembre de 1898, en Achères, Yvelines, utilizando un coche eléctrico Jeantaud. La marca se consiguió en una competición organizada por la revista de automóvil francesa La France Automobile. Completó un recorrido sobre 1 kilómetro en 57 segundos, a una velocidad media de 63,13 kilómetros por hora.

Un més más tarde, el 17 de enero de 1899, situó el récord en 66,65 km/h, también en Achères, en el primero de una serie de duelos por el récord con Camille Jenatzy. Diez días más tarde, Jenatzy batió el récord con una marca de 80,35 km/h. El récord volvió a manos de Chasseloup-Laubat el 4 de marzo de 1899,  elevándolo a 92,69 km/h. Jenatzy lo batió de nuevo el 29 de abril de 1899, siendo el primero en superar los 100 km/h con una velocidad media de 105 km/h, un récord que perduró tres años.

Chasseloup-Laubat ganó la prueba de larga distancia Marsella-La Turbie en 1897 con un vehículo de vapor construido por Trépardoux & Cie, predecesor de De Dion-Bouton. Esta fue la única carrera entre ciudades importante ganada por un coche de vapor.

El conde murió en Le Cannet, cerca de Cannes, a los 37 años de edad, después de una larga enfermedad que lo incapacitó durante dos años.

OMAHA, Neb. —
On the first Friday night of April, bar hoppers and restaurant-goers flocked to Blackstone and Benson to enjoy the weather.
"It's more hopping than I would have expected it," said Jason Thomas. "I think it's from a year's worth of cabin fever."
Thomas said he was out walking around Benson enjoying the sunshine because he's fully vaccinated. He said he wouldn't be going out if he wasn't.
"I think that a lot of people are a little less worried about COVID now. I don't think that that's really appropriate, but more people are vaccinated, so I think people who are not vaccinated feel more comfortable," he said.

BFF Omaha hosted their monthly event "First Friday," which had art displays and booths sprinkled across Benson.
Director of development Caitlin Little said safety is still their priority.
"We just want to make sure that everyone's wearing masks, just being cautious and courteous of others," Little said.
One of the main events of the night was the new banner displays down Maple Street made by local artists.
Artist Victoria Drake said she's excited to see her work hanging by the post office. She said it's safe to check out the outdoor art as long as you're sticking to safety measures.

Manhattan's Everlane flagship store, designed by Leong Leong, is bringing the fluidity of e-commerce to brick-and-mortar retail.
Before the internet was saturated with clothing startups hawking premium basics, there was Everlane. Launched in 2010, Everlane, along with labels such as Frank and Oak and Warby Parker, established an online-only business model that delivered quality clothing at affordable prices. The brand's philosophy was built on radical transparency: it disclosed factories, labour expenses and shipping costs; through its direct-to-consumer model, it managed to keep prices low.
Fast forward eight years, though, and Everlane has changed. With US$51 million in sales in 2016, its clothing has become a creative-class uniform; its continuing ascension has seen Everlane called the next J. Crew and a millennial fever dream. After famously promising that it would never move into physical retail, the brand has now opened a store in Manhattan, joining the likes of, well, Frank and Oak and Warby Parker. And Bonobos. And Bailey Nelson. And Athleta. And Amazon, which opened a curated bookstore in New York.
Which brings us back to Everlane. After launching a series of pop-ups, the Silicon Valley brand has found a 2,000-square-foot home at 28 Prince St., in Manhattan's Soho district. So, why venture into physical retail? Because the company believed it could design a better shopping experience, one that is firmly rooted in the fluidity of e-commerce. And it chose Leong Leong to create that very experience, which it will soon replicate with another Everlane outpost in San Francisco.
After passing through a 14-foot glass storefront, visitors enter an interstitial lounge, meant to connect the interiors to the street. Custom benches, boxed water, and neighbourhood guides invite users to linger. Placards detailing Everlane's philosophy (including a station with headphones playing sounds from its Los Angeles factory) line the store's walls. It's an exercise in branding, to be certain, but like Everlane's logo-free clothing, the product and process do most of the marketing.
As visitors venture further, four display units emerge. Keeping with Everlane's ethos of radical transparency, each is wrapped in perforated white metal (below), giving the flagship a distinct translucency. Transactions are made easy, here: check-out areas are stealthily embedded into each of the display units; a concierge desk sits at the store's rear; and if something isn't in stock, it can be ordered at the flick of an iPad.
Retail workers don't simply hawk clothing. Instead, they help check out items quickly or, after analyzing a visitor's profile, make recommendations based on order history. Customer data is key for Everlane: it famously has no creative director, instead employing a committee of designers guided by crowdsourced insights. But while tech is at the centre of Everlane's business, Leong Leong didn't want it to overwhelm the store.
Beyond the kiosk, Leong Leong created a fitting area that "celebrates the social aspect of trying on clothes," complete with a 14-foot-tall mirror. It's a familiar part of most clothes-shopping experiences, and that may be the point: Everlane retained the essential characteristics of physical retail, but bolstered it with the frictionless qualities of e-commerce. Many retailers, online or otherwise, should take note.


On Friday 10th of March I was pleased to launch a new campaign to drive down thefts of and from vehicles across Geelong including the Bellarine Peninsula.
The "Help Yourself" campaign will raise awareness about how drivers can help prevent thefts and protect their property from being stolen.
The City of Greater Geelong and the Bellarine Community Safety Group have collaborated to develop the campaign, with funding of $16,000 from the Victorian Government.
There has been a significant increase in theft of and from cars on the Bellarine Peninsula recently. Fifty one per cent of these are from unlocked cars.
The Help Yourself campaign will encourage drivers to take simple steps including ensuring valuables are out of sight, cars are parked in well-lit and secure areas and vehicles locked.
As part of the campaign, Victoria Police is also partnering with local Men's Sheds and other community groups to hold Safe Plate days throughout 2017, fitting number plates to vehicles using one-way screws, free of charge.
Posters, advertising and signs with crime prevention tips will be rolled out across the region on community noticeboards, shop windows and Neighbourhood Watch material, as well as online. This will continue to build on the Bellarine Community Safety Group's work, including the recently launched bSafe website, which delivers crime prevention advice and tips to the Bellarine community.
I was recently pleased to open the new jetty at Clifton Springs that was built with a $250,000 contribution from the State Government.
Previously there had been 2 wooden piers at the Clifton Springs boat ramp that were in a state of dis-repair and starting to fall down.
Over a number of years I had been made aware of the poor state of the old piers by local anglers and have been pleased to deliver what was a 2014 election commitment.
The 'all abilities' jetty is 2.9 metres wide and features a larger fishing area at the end to cater for more anglers. The jetty is a modular design so can then be extended into the future as need arises.
As always, please don't hesitate to contact me by email or call my office if there are any matters that I may be able to assist you with directly.


In today's competitive business world, the organizations have to face the issue of change management due to increased globalization, advancement in technology, changed rules and regulations and enhanced competition in market (Cheney et al, 2004). The organizations are in need of planned change that is a kind of change that is implemented through meaningful efforts (Cornelissen, 2014). The dynamic environment needs effective management of change within organization. Communication is a necessary part of change process, with having significant effect on success or failure of project. A main aspect to be considered during organizational change is getting employees for accepting new ways to do business and this is considered to be the most difficult part of change project (Cheney et al, 2004). Therefore, it is important for organizations to identify some effective practices through which change management can be done in an effective way within the organization. It is very important for management of organization to inform employees about change process, the reason of change, their role in that process and potential outcomes of change. This study has been done for identifying the important of communication with employees at the time of change management in order to enhance commitment of employees.
This research has following objectives.
To review previous studies about the role of communication in change.
To find out how communication has an impact on commitment to change management at BT Group.
This research will be done to fill the gap between literature of communication, change management and commitment. It has been suggested by Elving (2005) that there is a need of analyzing communication with employees as effective HR practice for successfully implement change in an organization. Similarly, Maheshwari and Vohra (2015) stated that there is a need of studying specific HR practice and its impact on commitment to change. In addition to this Maheshwari and Vohra (2015) also recommended for future research that future research must be done on one of the HR practices related to change and its positive impact on commitment to change. So, this research has identified this gap and this will focus on communication with employee as key HR practice and its impact on employee commitment. Hence, it will be of significant importance for academicians as it will minimize the gap. Moreover, managers of BT group will also get valuable insights about the role of communication in change management, hence, it will be of importance for them as well.
Communication is important for effectively implementing organizational change (Schweiger and Denisi, 1991). It has been suggested by Miller (2014) that there are usually two main goals of organizational communication. One aim is informing employees regarding issues like their activities and policy of organization. Another aim is creating a society within an organization where every individual can share his or her view points and perceptions. When there is a need of bringing some change in an organization, then communication plays a very important role. In an organization, at the time of implementing any kind of change, the employees have to be informed and communicated about what will be changed, the ways through which changes will occur and also the changed environment that employees have to experience after implementing change. Particularly, when due to change implementation the tasks and functions performed by employees will be changed, then it is very important for HR managers to communicate employees about that change. So, it is the responsibility of managers to enhance communication at all levels of company. This research will explore how communication is done for managing the change, effectively. The role of communication will be explored in the context of change management at BT Group.
Every research is based on any two or combination of two research method techniques. These techniques are referred as quantitative and qualitative methods. Both alternatives have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this research, qualitative research methods are used. The rationale for using the qualitative methods is that it allows to do in-depth examination of the research issue (Cooper and Schindler, 2007). It provides the subjective information, hence the data could be analyzed in accordance with the context of the study. It does not use the rigid variables hence the complex research issues could be answered with this (Creswell, 2009). The research issues could be dealt in an effective manner through qualitative research. Though, there are few limitations of the qualitative research e.g. the element of bias could occur in qualitative research studies. But the researcher used the methods in a manner that bias is minimized. In opposite to this, quantitative studies has their own pros as it could provide more rigor and valid findings, but as per the nature of the research question, it was more appropriate to rely on qualitative data. The purpose was to do the in-depth analysis of role of communication in commitment to change, hence, it was considered appropriate to do qualitative inquiry for this research. From qualitative research methods, focus group discussion is selected for this study where 7 managers of BT Group has participated in this study.
"Through coping up with market environment, BT group can become capable of achieving long term sustainability and effectiveness." (Focus group member 1).
From this, it can be analysed that in today's business world, companies are forced for making and managing change in an effective and continuous way.
This tells that the role of communication is critical in managing the change process. So it can be analysed that this research has first highlighted the importance of HR function in organization for facilitating change (Napier and Stratton, 2013).
This research concludes that human resource managers can add value through focussing on communication with employees regarding change practices in order to affect attitudes of employees in a positive way. The managers of BT Group will have to make sure that there provide sufficient opportunities for communication to their employees. This communication will help them to manage everything in an effective manner and change management initiative will also become successful.

Academic and Industrial Basis of Courses:
The models, processes, and computer programs were developed during my 30-year career as an International manager, are adapted from international business settings and are used in all my academic and corporate teaching. The benefit I desire for students is twofold — the ability to apply principle-centered leadership and management skills in all organizational settings and the ability to understand and use the paradigm of meeting customer needs, i.e. understand transactional business exchange.
The following materials are of particular value for both undergraduate and graduate courses. Please note that they require an integration of business and anthropological understanding.
Developing a Customer-Driven Organization provides a working understanding of customer chains, customer needs, and added product/service value to each customer in the chain. The course emphasizes that customers start within a company and continue through the user of the goods and services provided by a company. Total quality understanding, computerized information systems, benchmarking for success, and work processes are taught as the basis of a successful customer-driven organization development.
Applied Leadership and Management Skills provide an understanding of the difference between and appropriate applications of leadership and management. Students are taught to use organizational paradigms that provide a framework in which to apply these skills. Principle-centered habits, total quality tools, and effective working processes support the use of each skill. The use of participant observation and ethnography are required.
Innovations in Personal Development are customer-driven and include integrated material on personal development, compensation goals, rewards and recognition redefined as celebrations, and promotion for success. This requires substantial understanding of societal norms, thus requiring the use of anthropology.
Business Strategies for Emerging Markets focus on one of three markets (Japan, The US, and the EU) and provide actual case studies for market entry. The cases teach the principles needed for each market, offer an understanding of various entry models available in each country, and the cultural understandings necessary for success.
Teaching Skills:
My teaching experience has been in academic settings and in the corporate world. My student and peer evaluations in both have been in the "excellent" category. Students have included Bulgarians, Albanians, Chinese, Japanese, Thais, Indonesians, Filipinos, Europeans, Latin Americans, Australians, Arabs, Canadians, and Americans.

MODEL DEVELOPMENT
Working in the diversity of the international business setting has forced me to develop ways to understand customer chains as they apply inside and outside corporate structures and to develop programs that meet customer needs in ways that offer competitive advantage to the company and its customers. (Internally, "customers" means employees; externally, the term covers the users of the company's goods and services, including various government and regulatory groups that are not normally considered in the customer chain.) Managing diversity for competitive advantage, I developed processes for gaining, storing, and sharing knowledge in ways that make it usable across national and cultural boundaries. The processes include (1) cultural alignment models; (2) business processes; (3) data base systems that allow the creation of "real" time applications; (4) strategic models that offer competitive advantage to the users and their customers; and (5) career planning models that treat employees as customers, thus offering them superior development and training. All of these systems and programs have value professionally and personally and have been implemented successfully in business settings in various parts of the world.
I am currently applying a set of models developed in Asia, integrating both qualitative and quantitative data, to a project in Bulgaria. Initial findings have been informative and further analysis will provide new understanding of Bulgarian organizational culture and values and how they, in some cases, relate to those of US corporations. These efforts have resulted in one published paper and another under review. In addition, IREX has sponsored one summer research session. In addition these models have been applied to the Binghamton School of Management during my tenure as Dean.
During 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry, I have taken a leadership role in promoting change and innovation in organizations throughout the world. Success has been achieved with the use of business and anthropological skills at several levels of management — marketing, business development, divisional, regional and subsidiary general management.
While I was Dean of the School of Management, the MIS and Operations Departments became the Business Information Systems group. A new Executive Education Director was put in place and in excess of $700,000 a year income was contracted for the next 5 years. A development strategy, a first in the school was approved and over $1 Million was raised (cash in hand) with an additional $200,000 in pledges. Five new faculty were hired – – the first in 5 years. A basic change analysis was completed in anticipation of a forthcoming accreditation committee visit. A computer upgrade and distance learning program was put in place with in excess of $130,000 spent the first year – – the first major upgrade in 6 years.
I created, negotiated, and obtained approval within Norwich Eaton and from our Japanese partners for a unique strategic alliance concept that offers superior rewards to both parties. I also negotiated a strategic alliance in Australia between Norwich Eaton and the Sigma Company that has resulted in significant business improvements for both companies.
MARKETING INNOVATIONS
I created and executed a multi-year product relaunch of Erythrocin for Abbott Laboratories that is viewed as an industry model for relaunches. The program expanded growth from a rate of 6% per annum to 28% per annum over a 4-year period. Sales expanded from $75 MM to $150 MM during this time. The fundamentals used in this relaunch were reapplied to Macrodantin at Norwich Eaton and resulted in a similar success story. In both cases success was due, in part, to the creation and execution of a core marketing concept.
SALES INNOVATIONS
During my last 8 years of working in Procter and Gamble I developed and led the implementation of a unique field selling system. This system has been rolled out in The Philippines, Australia, the Gulf States, and Canada and is largely responsible for the leadership position of these subsidiaries in sales growth performance in Norwich Eaton. This material forms the basis of a chapter in a book edited by Dr. John Sherry.

Home > Untagged Real situation in Estonia!
How much do people outside of Estonia, hear abot Estonia? And what do they hear about it? How much of it is actually true? Here's a bit of truth about the real situation in Estonia.
On the first of september Markus Järvi commented on our own Estonian bureaucratic elite, who is becoming more & more alienated from everyday elemental sense of history and from the mentality that our forefathers carried to battles. Our forefathers who risked their lives in war to preserve us our independence.
Recently, Toomas Haug, a leading literary scientist, drew attention to the important fact that three out of six Estonian flags flying next to the War of Independence memorial have been replaced by European Union flags. For example, if a similar mix of flags would, illuminate the superministry - a corrupted sculpture in the heart of Tallinn, erected on a traitless and gray bureaucracy - we could almost overlook it and write it down as a desperate and relentless endearing on the EU address.
During the War of Independence, the men who fought and died could have never even dreamed about the European Union we see today, an overly libertarian, increasingly bureaucratic and undemocratic, and now burdened by islam.
Their purpose was the Republic of Estonia: the right to peacefully harvest the field in their own country, speak their own language and develop their culture. It's not asking for much, is it?
The question remains as to who is responsible for swapping the flags and how will this action be reasoned? One is for sure. Our bureaucratic squadron is alienated from everyday elemental sense of history and roots.
Interestingly enough, even an all-powerful European Union has not been able to shake off the house-slave mentality of our leading politicians.
The Estonian house-slave politician will stand guard off the old habit, next to the parish governor and await the merciful arrangements of the lord. If possible, he will earn extra acceptance points from the lord, by whiping its own people. These three EU flags that are being displayed here at the monument of the Estonian War of Independence, are the loudest and clearest examples of this extravagant servility and slave-mentality.
If you can see, how the European Union has become a mere farce, which is not there to support the national countries and their people. But instead is becoming a serious threat to peace and freedom loving people in it. Then the least you can really do, is share this message and spread the awareness.

The Housing Slowdown Continues: Lowest Home Price Increases in 7 Years
Thursday, May 30, 2019 / by Michael Picciuto
Home prices throughout much of the country don't look as if they're coming down anytime soon—but they're also not shooting up as much as they have in previous years.
Nationally, prices notched up 3.7% in March, according to the latest CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index. That's the lowest level of growth they've seen since September 2012, when the country was struggling to rebound from the Great Recession. It also marks the 12th straight month of diminishing price increases.
But that doesn't mean folks should fear another housing market meltdown is on the way.
"The changes that we've seen have helped to bring the housing market back into balance," says CoreLogic's chief economist, Frank Nothaft. "The slowing house price growth is helping to restore affordability, so that more people can afford to buy."
Lower mortgage interest rates are also helping to get more prospective buyers off the sidelines. Rates were just 4.06% as of May 23, a decrease of 60 basis points from a year ago—a difference that could shave thousands of dollars off a 30-year, fixed-rate loan. (One basis point equals 0.01%.)
"Mortgage rates were really high in 2018, and that just put a chill on home buyers," says Nothaft. "Now that mortgage rates are down ... [and] with incomes up, I'm still expecting the spring and summer home-buying season to be pretty solid."
The fastest-growing metropolitan area was one of the hardest hit in the Great Recession: Las Vegas. (Metros include the main city and surrounding smaller urban areas, suburbs, and exurbs.) Price growth surged 8.2% year-over-year in Sin City, where the foreclosure crisis left scores of empty homes and vacant building lots. As of April 1, the median list price reached $315,050, according to the most recent realtor.com® data.
"Las Vegas had a huge crash in the market during the Great Recession," says Nothaft. "Las Vegas is one of those metros where prices have not yet come back to where they were back in 2006."
Las Vegas was followed by the popular retirement destination of Phoenix, where price growth increased 6.1%, to hit a median list price of $349,050. Another retirement hot spot, Tampa, FL, with a median of $274,950, had a 5.3% increase.
Meanwhile, the metros where price appreciation fell the most were also the most expensive. The West Coast saw the biggest drops, with Seattleleading the pack, with a 11.4% decline in price growth.
However, prices were still up 1.6% annually. That's because the cost of a home and the increase in its price are two different things. So buyers shouldn't expect a bargain in Amazon's backyard. Median list prices were still high for the metro area at $625,025.
"I would not call Seattle affordable, but it's more affordable than it was one year ago," says Nothaft.
Seattle was followed by San Francisco, where price growth went down 9.9% and Los Angeles, where it declined 6.7%. Median prices in those metros were $948,300 and $750,050, respectively.


Epigenetic means some environmental event turns off (or on) sections of your DNA (or bacteria is your guts) that produces methylation products. The most commonly known is likely Methylcobalamin (methylated B12). Very recent studies suggests that methylation has been reduced in CFS patients. What is an environmental event? could be a virus, an infection, a change of diet, change of hormones, etc.
Identification of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome-associated DNA methylation patterns.
Integration of DNA methylation & health scores identifies subtypes in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
Epigenome-wide DNA methylation patterns associated with fatigue in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
DNA methylation modifications associated with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Summary: Some (NOT ALL) CFS patients have differences in methylation.
Hypomethylation of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in the nonproducer B-cell line EBR .
Methylation of transcription factor binding sites in the Epstein-Barr virus latent cycle promoter Wp coincides with promoter down-regulation during virus-induced B-cell transformation.
Arabidopsis displays centromeric DNA hypomethylation and cytological alterations of heterochromatin upon attack by pseudomonas syringae.
Combined inhaled diesel exhaust particles and allergen exposure alter methylation of T helper genes and IgE production in vivo.
Infection with influenza A viruses causes changes in promoter DNA methylation of inflammatory genes.
Summary: If a person's CFS onset is associated with EBV or Influenza, then they are more likely to be in one of the subsets found above.
The reader asked explicitly about probiotics. That's a tough ask.
The impact of probiotic supplementation during pregnancy on DNA methylation of obesity-related genes in mothers and their children.
What probiotics was not stated == I suspect Lactobacillus are the most likely.
This older article suggests that E.Coli probiotics (Mutaflor, Symbioflor-2) suggests that getting "fresh" E.Coli may improve hypomethylation.
Going over to data punk….. we get the bad news… looking at end products only E.Coli produces this as an end product.
IMHO, the whole methylation vector is an over the horizon ship that may not deliver actionable treatment for CFS for at least two decades (if ever).
