Renovating a home can come with a high price tag if you're not budgeting and deciding which updates bring the best return on investment. After selling our updated first home in just 4 years, we bought an even bigger house that needed a lot of updating. We plan to sell our second home after 4 years while doing the much-needed work to produce a profit by following the same strategies we did in our first home. If you enjoy updating your home, want to increase your home value or just want your home to look better, here are 10 Cheap Home Hacks That'll Make Your House Look So Much Better.
✅ This specific hack to update your home is the most popular with my readers.
The first thing we like to do when buying a new home is changing the door handles on the entryway doors. This ensures only you have the keys and you can opt for a universal key lock. Updating doorknobs throughout the house is a bit time consuming but it provides a few benefits for an ROI. It also creates consistency throughout the home.
Not only will all the hardware on the doors match, but you can match ALL the hardware throughout the home (faucets, cabinet knobs, light fixtures etc). I recommend picking one type of hardware and keeping it consistent throughout the house.
✅ We updated our home with doorknobs from this company and they were super cheap and offered fast shipping!
Updating electrical outlets and light switches is just as time-consuming as changing door knobs but brings an easy ROI. Updating electrical outlets helps you keep consistency (same look and color throughout the home) and allows you to update old or non-compliant outlets.
If you aren't familiar with how to change an electrical outlet, check out YouTube or take some classes to learn the proper safety for electrical work. I changed my first outlet recently and although it was easier than I thought, I'd rather the hubby stick with tasks like that since he is a lot more experienced than I am.
✅ These electrical outlets are easy for beginners to replace, but if you want to add more function, these get great reviews and offer 2-day shipping.
Painting is the easiest way to update any space in your home. You can paint the walls, ceilings, trim, baseboards, cabinets, built-ins, and furniture to improve the look of your home. Paint supplies are minimal and can drastically change the look of your home. Be sure to check out my popular post, How to Choose Interior Paint Colors and 7 Amazing Bedroom Paint Color Combos for inspiration!
✅ These specific paint colors are the most popular with my readers.
Adding simple molding or framework in your home takes little effort and creates dimension to a room. We added a chair rail to our dining room to make it look more formal and a molding frame around our builder grade bathroom mirror to give a finished look.
If you have basic builder grade cabinets and drawers, chances are they don't have hardware other than the hinges. Depending on your choice of hardware and number of cabinets, the cost is minimal with a high ROI. Adding hardware to your kitchen cabinets will instantly update the room.
✅ I highly recommend hardware from this company which is super cheap (but high quality) and offers fast shipping!
One of the first projects we completed in our second home was to update the light fixtures. We installed recessed lights in the kitchen and main level hallways. Then we updated the dining room chandelier, the breakfast table pendant, and added a beautiful chandelier in the stairway. We replaced the ceiling fan light fixtures in the family room and the master bedroom and the lighting in the bathrooms. Each light fixture replacement cost anywhere between $50-$150 each but completely updates each room. Bonus if you can match your hardware and light fixtures.
✅ We purchase light fixtures from this store, which is offers classic, modern, and farmhouse style lighting options.
Window blinds and curtains in many homes are usually neglected. At least, in both of our homes, they were awful when we bought them. In our second home, the blinds were torn apart and falling off the windows. There weren't any curtains on a single window. Blinds can be expensive depending on the style you choose, but curtains can be cheap to make or find at your local thrift store or Ikea. We eventually replaced all of the blinds in our home and added curtains to every window.
Paint can transform even the smallest spaces, like your front door. Our front doors and shutters were hunter green when we bought our house. We immediately painted them a matte black and it made our home look much richer. We also replaced the front door handle and metal kick plate to match. If you have a storm door, replace the hardware and investigate if you can paint it (or replace the whole storm door if you can afford it).
Updating sink and shower faucets ties into updating the rest of the hardware in the home. Try to keep the color/metal consistent with faucets, lighting, door handles, and cabinet pulls. When we bought our second home, both shower handles were broken and needed to be replaced (I'm not sure how the previous occupant showered!). Sink faucets cost between $25-$200 depending on how fancy you want them to look but otherwise are an easy, affordable upgrade.
Lastly, if you want your home to look better, decluttering every room works wonders. If you've ever been on the home buying side, you've probably seen a few homes that were "staged" with minimal decorations or personal items. Those are the homes that tend to sell the fastest. If you desire to have a better-looking home, try reducing some of the items in your home and it will make a huge difference!

First I love your ideas. They are a simple way of improving the look of a home without having to do a major renovation. Second I only mention as a safety note: When doing anything with electrical make sure you a) know what you are doing (have some training) and b) please make sure you turn off the breakers. So many people have been hurt or killed because they thought it was an easy job but was out of their know how range. But again other than safety I loved all of your ideas so simple and easy even if you aren't going to sell your home.
Melanie your home is just amazing! I must say, it doesn't look cheap at all. It comes off as one of those classy and expensive fixes. One major problem for me is decluttering. We don't have storage units in our country, so it's quite hard to figure out where to put the things we don't really use but don't want to sell or throw away. Hopefully I'd figure something out soon. Thanks for the great share!
That hardware looks so easy to install and has a beautiful look to it! We have been thinking about replacing ours. These are great.
Your house looks so beautiful.


The following article comes to Unbound in response to our recent coverage of the divestment debate, brought before the United Methodist General Conference earlier in May and coming before the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) General Assembly at the end of this month for a vote.
Sandra Tamari is a Palestinian-American from Glen Carbon, Illinois, and a Christian. In getting to know her this past year I found her to be gracious and accepting, really the quintessential representative of her particular faith tradition, the Quakers.
Because the United Methodist Church has been attempting to respond to the call of Christians in the Holy Land for help in finding non-violent solutions to the conflict there, she agreed to make some calls to our elected delegates prior to our General Conference in May. She urged them to vote for the resolution to divest from companies supporting the occupation of Palestine, and reported enjoying her conversations—so much so that she decided to go to Tampa for a few days herself as part of the effort to pass a divestment resolution.
Sandra Tamari, a Quaker, mother of two, and member of the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, was detained at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport last week and aggressively questioned for over eight hours before being taken to a detention center and deported back to the United States. During questioning, Israeli security demanded she open her personal email account and accused her of being a terrorist.
Tamari, a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and the ending of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory, was attempting to travel to Israel and the occupied West Bank to participate in an interfaith delegation involving Palestinians and Israelis working for peace and coexistence. She was recently involved in the campaign urging the United Methodist church to adopt selective divestment from companies that profit from the occupation, co-authoring a widely circulated op-ed in the Tampa Bay Times last month during the United Methodists' General Conference. It seems clear that Israel's treatment of Tamari is related to her work on behalf of Palestinian rights.
No one else from Sandra's delegation was deported. I fear that Sandra's simple agreement to engage United Methodists on the issue of selective divestment from companies profiting from the Israeli occupation contributed to Israel's singling her out for deportation. As one of the leaders in this movement, it is very distressing to think she was punished for simply trying to educate and help United Methodists do the right thing in Tampa. As an American citizen, I'm angered that a fellow citizen would receive such treatment from a supposed ally.
Like the rest of those supporting divestment at General Conference, I was quite disappointed the divestment resolution failed. It's clear our church is still divided on the particulars of divesting our pension funds. Even so, by our decision to boycott products produced by illegal settlements, we are now declaring more firmly than ever that the occupation of Palestine is unjust. We are standing with oppressed people, which is what I believe Christ would have us do. As we talked after her deportation, I could tell that Sandra is hopeful that the Christian community in the United States—the liberals, the conservatives, the moderates—is beginning to see and understand what's really happening in the land we all call holy.

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (12-3, 3-1) suffered their first district loss of the season Tuesday evening against Broken Arrow (11-6, 6-2), snapping a six game win streak. They defeated Broken Arrow 6-0 the night before but fell 4-3 on their home field.
Sand Springs took the penultimate lead with an RBI single from Seth Villines to score Cale Savage in the top of the second inning, but the Tigers scored two runs in the third and two in the fourth to secure the game.
Sebastian Cassity (2-1) got the start on the mound, throwing one strikeout, one hit, and three walks. After a a walk and an error put two on base in the bottom of the third he was relieved by Jaxon Skaggs (2-1), who got his first loss of the season.
Skaggs walked two more to give up one run, then Peyton Messinger hit a sacrifice fly for the lead. Skaggs threw a pair of singles in the fourth and was relieved by John Miller (1-0, 6-1) who gave up two more singles, including a 2RBI hit from Messinger.
Tyler Ash reached second on an error in the fifth and Jacob Snodgrass singled. Snodgrass survived three pickoff attempts at first before finally being caught, but Ash stole home to cut it to 4-2.
Snodgrass hit an RBI single to score Kieffer Massey in the top of the seventh and Malachi Burks singled to load the bases, but the Tigers rallied defensively, catching a fly, a line drive, and throwing a strikeout to strand three and secure the victory.
Sand Springs Baseball will return to action Thursday at 6:00 p.m. when they travel to Bartlesville (11-8). Their next district game won't be till Monday in Ponca City (7-10, 1-3).

Illegal Alien on Probation Allegedly Rapes, Beats Woman with Hammer During Home Invasion
Katie McHugh
Victor Aureliano Martinez Ramirez, an illegal alien who allegedly broke into 64-year-old Marilyn Pharis's home, raped her and savagely beat her with a hammer, had been arrested four times by Santa Maria police in California — and was on probation at the time of his arrest.
Police say Ramirez broke into Pharis's home on July 24, raped her and beat her with a claw hammer, leaving her for dead before trying to break into another home.
Ramirez pled not guilty on Friday to charges of "attempted murder, first-degree burglary with person present, assault with intent to commit rape, sexual penetration by foreign object and resisting a peace officer," according to HNGN. He also faces special allegations: "the use of a deadly weapon in a sex offense, causing great bodily injury in a sex offense, assault with a deadly weapon on an elderly person and a violent crime against a vulnerable victim," according to the Santa Maria Times.
Pharis died eight days later. Ramirez may face additional charges for murder after an autopsy is conducted.
Police say they "don't care" that Ramirez is an illegal alien, who rather than being detained and deported, was free to rampage through the neighborhood.
"We have a citizen that lost her life, it's serious, when you look at it, we don't care what the circumstances were, we're going to do what we need to do to get our facts and bring this individual to justice. If there are extenuating circumstances that arise as a result of that, that he's an undocumented immigrant, then we will let the proper authorities address those issues when they present themselves," Santa Maria Police Department Commander Kendall Greene said.
Had he been deported, of course, Pharis would still be alive. Santa Maria police arrested Ramirez four times in the past two years, most recently in May 2014. He was on probation when he allegedly raped and beat Pharis in the dead of night.

UVA developing 'two-headed arrow' to kill ovarian cancer
by University of Virginia
Artistic interpretation of the 'two-headed' arrow UVA is developing to destroy ovarian cancer. Credit: Anita Pagliazzo, as conceived and designed by Jogender Tushir-Singh.
A University of Virginia School of Medicine researcher is developing a two-fisted, antibody-based approach to destroy deadly ovarian cancer—an approach he believes could also be modified to kill breast, prostate and other solid tumors.
The dual-pronged approach being developed by Jogender Tushir-Singh, Ph.D., aims to overcome obstacles that have undermined otherwise promising immune therapies for ovarian cancer, the deadliest gynecological disease. If the approach proves successful, it may even rescue some failed therapies, allowing doctors to move them from the scrap heap to the clinic, where they could benefit patients.
"There are a lot of efforts in terms of cancer immune therapy, but the success of these are really limited in solid tumors," said Tushir-Singh, of UVA's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and the UVA Cancer Center. "I strongly believe, and with my own experience while working in the pharmaceutical industry, that this advancement will allow us to rescue and give a second lease on life to a lot of antibodies that have failed in the clinic. This is all based on large amount of clinical data, and we have strategically exploited this information to improve the therapeutic efficacy against ovarian cancer."
Targeted Treatment for Ovarian Cancer
In developing his approach, Tushir-Singh realized that a major problem with immune therapies for ovarian cancer is that the immune cells intended to kill the cancer cells cannot infiltrate the solid tumor bed effectively. "I found that one of the problems is with the solid tumor microenvironment," he explained. "The microenvironment is highly hypoxic, anergic and, particularly in the case of ovarian cancer, some unusually large receptors form a protective fence around tumor cells, so even if the immune cells reach there, there are many obstacles."

Tushir-Singh decided to find a way to make the tumor environment more attractive despite the protective fence around it. So he engineered an antibody that he likens to a "two-headed arrow." "The antibodies need to find a home," he recalled thinking, "so let's design one head to bind to a receptor that is highly expressed in ovarian tumors."
But getting the antibody there wasn't enough. Previous clinical trials had shown the need for antibodies that were more effective at killing ovarian cancer cells. So Tushir-Singh sought to amplify his antibody's cancer-killing power. The result: One head of the "arrow" strikes what is known as the "death receptor" on the cancer cells, telling them to die, while the other head strikes a receptor known as FOLR1, a well-established marker that suggests a poor prognosis among ovarian cancers.
Tushir-Singh's engineered antibodies are more than 100 times more effective at killing cancer cells than the antibodies that have made it to clinical trials, his lab work suggests. Further, his approach avoids toxicity issues that have plagued previous antibody therapies, he said. "Liver toxicity has been the biggest problem for a lot of antibodies—they are taken out of the blood too fast and accumulate where not needed," he said. "But by providing a good home for the antibodies in the tumor, we are keeping these antibodies away from the liver."
Findings Published
Tushir-Singh's approach is still in the early stages of therapeutic development, but he is eager to test his two-headed arrow in people. He says his progress will depend on how quickly he can obtain funding for additional testing and for an investigational new drug (IND) filing with the federal government. "Ultimately," he said, "a clinical trial in ovarian cancer patients is my big goal, and, with the help of the UVA Licensing & Ventures Group, we are looking for industrial partners too."
"UVA is a great institution and a very fertile ground to do good science," Tushir-Singh said. "With Dr. Sanchita Bhatnagar's lab being next door, we are a collaborative husband-and-wife team. We joined UVA just three years ago. Being a young professor, I am highly thankful and admire the leadership in my department, which is chaired by Dr. Anindya Dutta, and at UVA Cancer Center, which is headed by Dr. Tom Loughran. I have been fortunate to have a great basic research team such as Dr. Kodi Ravichandran along with many others, and an effective clinical collaborator, Dr. Charles 'Chip' Landen."

1. 1982 Author: Tato Bezhitashvili GANDHI: Political Analysis of Movie January 8, 2021
2. AGENDA 1) A brief synopsis; 2) 8 dialogues/quotations from the movie; 3) Analyzing the episodes within IR theories; 4) My alternative synopsis.
3. Introduction: What is the movie about? • "Gandhi" is a British-Indian biographical drama directed by Richard Attenborough in 1982. • The movie presents key events in the life of Mahatma Gandhi (played by Ben Kingsley), the beloved Indian leader who stood against British rule over his country. The film consists of a variety of IR concepts, including - Principles of justice, morality and ethics; - Tyranny, audience and system, hierarchy; - Asymmetrical war; - Empire vs Multitude; - Idealist principles of love, peace, goodness, honesty, and truth; - Neo-Marxist critique against capitalists' actions; - Nonviolent resistance; - Anarchy, Chaos, the lack of order.
4. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis "- In the words of General George C. Marshall, the American Secretary of State: 'Mahatma Gandhi has become the spokesman for the conscience of all mankind. He was a man who made humility and simple truth more powerful than empires'. • The sense of justice; • Principles of morality and ethics. Gandhi proved the immoral nature of the British behavior towards or against their subordinate Indians. "The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still small voice of conscience" (Strohm, 2011). Gandhi, however, could make his "still small voice" heard globally. 1 5:25'
5. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - Because in our country it is the British who decide how an Indian lives, what he may buy, what he may sell". • Tyranny - controlling of all aspects of the subordinated society. • Audience and system; • Hierarchy. 2 1:00:05'
6. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - England is so powerful.. its army.. and its navy.. all its modern weapons.. But when a great power like that strikes defenseless people, it shows its brutality, its own weakness". Asymmetrical war 3 1:24:26'
7. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - We must defy the British... English factories make the cloth that makes our poverty..." • Empire vs multitude • Indian workers were exploited by the British, their jobs and money were stolen. • The multitude, as such can be explained as the masses of people that are both exploited workers and potential revolutionaries. 4 1:40:10'
8. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers… and, for a time, they can seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall". • Idealist principles of love, peace, goodness, honesty, truth, and justice. • The organizational tools of pure communication, due to which Gandhi united the masses of his people. • This was a victory of Idealist peaceful resistance over Realist power. 5 1:52:06'
9. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - This salt comes from the Indian Ocean. Let every Indian claim it as his right... And so, once more, the man of nonviolence has challenged the might of the British Empire." • Neo-Marxist critique against capitalists' actions in impoverished countries. • Nationalization of salt as a protest against the British domination. 6 2:10:59'
10. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis "-The question was intended to discover if there was any violence on their side. -No, sir. I'm afraid not…" Nonviolent resistance 7 2:13:45'
11. Dialogue/Quotation Analysis " - What you did in Noakhali, Bapu, was a miracle… miracle… But millions are on the move and no one can count the dead. In Calcutta, it's like a civil war. The Muslims rose and there was a bloodbath. Now the Hindus are taking revenge". • Anarchy, Chaos. • The lack of order – when there is a civil war or violent confrontation between domestic actors. • In case of India, these were Hindus and Muslims who fought each other. • Still, the personality of Mahatma Gandhi rescued India. 8 2:44:43'
12. • A bit wearying (boring) pace – 3h 11m. • Better to shorten it in about 2 hours – only those key events that are dynamic to make the film more interesting, not boring. • The film is unfairly biased against Muhammed Ali Jinnah - the founder of Pakistan. • Co-funders, the Film Board of India against the founder of India's neighboring Pakistan. • As long as the movie is biographical, an almost-documentary work, it would be better if the director remained objective, not biased. • Mainly concentrated on Gandhi's personality, rather than underlining someone else's misconduct.

Well said cde. Peace made under duress and fear is nothing but suppressed war. IGAD is frantically trying to showcase that at least they have done something. Again IGAD is accountable only to their respective govts and not opposition groups and was so stupid not to have apprehended Kiirminal for starting the 2016 crisis. It should simply accept it's failed. Just losers.

What A Positive Coronavirus Test Means For President Trump's Health
Published October 2, 2020 at 7:25 AM MDT
President Trump shakes hands with now-former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson in January 2018, following his first medical checkup as president.
The coronavirus can be very serious for anyone at any age but is especially concerning for a man of President Trump's age, 74.
People 65 to 74 years old are five times more likely than younger adults to be hospitalized and 90 times more likely to die, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Eight out of 10 deaths from COVID-19 in the United States have occurred among older people, the CDC says.
And from what's known about his weight, the president may be officially obese, which is considered another top risk factor.
"Older age and obesity are clear risk factors for developing more severe COVID-19," said Raj Gandhi, an infectious diseases physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "The president should be closely monitored. "
That said, many people who get infected with the virus do not develop any symptoms — even many of those with risk factors such as their age and weight. Even when people do get sick, lots of them develop cold or flu-like symptoms that are mild. And many people who develop serious complications recover. So there's no way to predict what's going to happen to any specific individual.
"There is quite a broad range for how COVID-19 progresses," Gandhi said. "Some people with COVID-19 never develop symptoms. For those who develop symptoms, they typically do so at about 4-5 days after acquiring the infection but sometimes it takes up to 2 weeks to develop symptoms."
Trump hasn't released as many details about his health as previous presidents have. His doctors have said that despite his age and weight, he is in excellent health. Trump takes medication to lower his cholesterol, but his doctors haven't reported any other health problems that would increase his risk, such as diabetes, heart disease or high blood pressure.
First lady Melania Trump is 50, so she's not in as high a risk group as the president. She underwent a procedure for a benign kidney condition in 2018 but isn't known to have any health problems that would put her at increased risk.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters Friday that the president "does have mild symptoms" of COVID-19. The coronavirus can affect people in many different ways. Some people start to feel sick within days. Other people feel fine for longer before developing symptoms. Still others are sick for a while and then seem to be getting better, only to suddenly crash and get seriously ill. That's what happened, for example, to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson eventually recovered, but only after receiving intensive care.
While the coronavirus is a respiratory virus, doctors have realized it can affect many different parts of the body, including vital organs aside from the lungs. Some people can develop a variety of complications that can linger for months.
People who are infected are supposed to go into isolation to try to prevent them from spreading the coronavirus. They are advised to stay away from other people and to do things like use a separate bathroom, wear a mask and avoid sharing household items such as cups and towels.
According to CDC guidelines, infected people should isolate for at least 10 days, though that can sometimes be cut short if they get two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. Anyone who develops symptoms is supposed to remain isolated for at least 10 days from when their symptoms first appear — and have gone at least 24 hours without a fever, without taking any fever-reducing medication.
The White House hasn't released details about exactly how the president and first lady plan to handle the logistics of all this in the White House. The White House physician, Sean Conley, released a statement that reads: "The president and first lady are both well at this time and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."
As to the president's medical treatment, Conley said in a separate memo on Friday that Trump received a single 8-gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail as a "precautionary measure."
"As of this afternoon, the President remains fatigued but in good spirits," Conley said, adding that Trump was being evaluated by a team of experts who would make recommendations about "next best steps."
The first lady has "only a mild cough and headache," he said.
The Trumps and White House staffers were routinely tested to try to prevent the spread of the virus, but their infection shows that this doesn't ensure safety.
"I think the news of the president's and first lady's positive tests show, unfortunately, that a regular testing program doesn't guarantee safety," Jennifer Nuzzo, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, wrote in an email.

Q: Regex problem : sorting Chinese Hanzi and pinyin I am trying to sort groups of Hanzi and pinyin into correct order. E.g.
得到, 取得, 收到, 拿到, 获得 dédào, qǔdé, shōudào, nádào, huòdé.

=>
得到 dédào, 取得 qǔdé, 收到 shōudào, 拿到 nádào, 获得 huòdé.
I am using Libreoffice for this purpose, which accepts regex expressions. Problem is, I don't how to write the suitable regex expressions.
So far I have created this:
^([一-龥]+)[,]
which puts $1=得到
(which is fine)
Remaining problems :
 1. How to identify the rest of Hanzi groups,
    i.e. put $2=取得, $3=收到 etc.
    Number of Hanzi groups varies line by line.

*How to identify the pinyin groups seperately, i.e.
put $a=dédào $b=qǔdé etc. (or in some other ways   distinct from the Hanzi groups)

*How to write the replace string so it will create:
得到 dédào, 取得 qǔdé, 收到 shōudào, 拿到 nádào, 获得 huòdé.
Screenshots of the problem:

A: Since you mentioned in the question comments:
"The problem is not specifically related to Libreoffice. Instead, it's about how to form proper regex expressions",
I chose to solve this question using Python. Python can do this using regular expressions, together with zhon (https://zhon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/):
import re

from zhon import hanzi, pinyin

text = "得到, 取得, 收到, 拿到, 获得 dédào, qǔdé, shōudào, nádào, huòdé."
target = "得到 dédào, 取得 qǔdé, 收到 shōudào, 拿到 nádào, 获得 huòdé."

hanzi_char = re.findall('[%s]' % hanzi.characters, text)
pinyin_word = re.findall(pinyin.word, text, re.I)

print(f"{text = }")

print(f"{hanzi_char = }")
print(f"{pinyin_word = }")

comb_hanzi_char = [i + j
                   for i, j in zip(hanzi_char[0:10:2],
                                   hanzi_char[1:11:2]
                                  )
                   ]

print(f"{comb_hanzi_char = }")

res = [hanzi + ' ' + pinyin
       for hanzi, pinyin in zip(comb_hanzi_char, pinyin_word)
       ]

res = ', '.join(res) + '.'

print(f"\n{target = }")
print(f"{res = }")

assert(res == target)

Returns:
text = '得到, 取得, 收到, 拿到, 获得 dédào, qǔdé, shōudào, nádào, huòdé.'
hanzi_char = ['得', '到', '取', '得', '收', '到', '拿', '到', '获', '得']
pinyin_word = ['dédào', 'qǔdé', 'shōudào', 'nádào', 'huòdé']
comb_hanzi_char = ['得到', '取得', '收到', '拿到', '获得']

target = '得到 dédào, 取得 qǔdé, 收到 shōudào, 拿到 nádào, 获得 huòdé.'
res = '得到 dédào, 取得 qǔdé, 收到 shōudào, 拿到 nádào, 获得 huòdé.'

Process finished with exit code 0

The last line indicating that the assertion passed, and the target has been met.

Alamo Drafthouse Officially Apologizes for Starting the Manpocalypse
alliterator
Filed to: wonder womanFiled to: wonder woman
alamo drafthouse
If you want to take a break from watching the burning wrecks of cars and looting local supermarkets for their men's only magazines, the Alamo Drafthouse would like to apologize for having their women's only screening of Wonder Woman and starting the Manpocalypse.
We at the Alamo Drafthouse would like to officially apologize for our role in the end of mankind as we knew it, and the ascendant Gynocracy that followed. We didn't know our women-only screening of Wonder Woman would result in the overthrow of all world governments and the total subjugation of men, but in hindsight we probably should have seen it coming.
"Why can't women have one night to enjoy a character that's meant so much to them over the years?" asked the Shadowy Figure. The woman came into our offices in a cloak as black as the grave, followed by three wild-looking dogs. Her voice had no age, or every age, it was hard to tell. Sometimes it sounded like more than one woman was talking. The Shadowy Figure made good points about Representation Mattering and Safe Spaces as she idly flicked raw flesh to her dogs. Around her swirled plumes of sickly sweet incense from a source unknown, but this is Austin, so we figured she was just keeping it weird. How naive we were.
The Drafthouse representative went on to state how the beginnings of the Manpocalypse formed, during the women's only screening as the image of Gal Gadot as Diana rose up and slit Steve Trevor's throat, telling the women in the audience to do the same to the men in their lives.
"Man's time is over," she said. "They have done all that they will do, all they are capable of doing." And then she grabbed Chris Pine by the hair and slit his throat with a big double-edged axe that we're pretty sure was not in the comics but that's Hollywood for you.
"This is the labrys," she told the audience as Chris Pine sputtered and choked on his own blood. "A symbol of woman's power. It cuts away that which is false. It is a problem and a solution. Look under your seats."
Each woman pulled a similar double-edged axe from under her seat. We do not know where they came from. We did not put them there. The Alamo Drafthouse did not arm the first Amazon Death Squad. We want to make that perfectly clear.
I know this apology will probably not make up for all the damages done and lives lost — and the cancellation of Last Man Standing, of course — but it's something.
And for all you women out there: don't hurt me, I'm an ally! I went to the Women's March! No, wait, what are you doing with that axe? Get awayyyyy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

Sketchy Tuesday was created by landscape designer Alyssa Erickson, who invited the team at Arterra Landscape Architects to go outside, get "lunch together and sketch our surroundings in sketch books." From our first outing to Del Popolo Pizza, we were hooked and Sketchy Tuesday quickly became an office tradition. We feel like the weekly sketching has improved our drawing skills and livened up our design process and we've looked forward to the weekly event so much that we wanted to share the idea. We've partnered with the AIASF for two years for their annual festival Architecture and the City to bring this free event to the public every Tuesday in September. We're planning on having more Sketchy Tuesday events throughout the year, so be sure to sign up to hear about the next event.

If back or spine pain prevents you from engaging in gainful employment, you may be eligible for social security disability benefits, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI). SSDI is available to qualifying applicants who are unable to participate in substantial gainful employment due to a medical condition that is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death, and who have earned enough "credits" through the payment of social security taxes deducted from their paycheck. SSI provides income to qualifying applicants who have limited income and resources.
The claim process to receive social security disability benefits due to back pain can be a complex process. You will need to provide detailed information regarding your medical condition, previous employment, current employment, income and resources, among other information and documentation. It can be incredibly helpful to enlist the legal assistance of a skilled social security attorney. The knowledgeable Chicago social security disability attorneys at Ankin Law Offices, LLC focus on helping clients obtain social security disability benefits and we can help you through the entire claim process – from application to hearing or appeal. If you suffer from back pain and are unable to work as a result of your condition, contact us at (872) 529-9377 to schedule a free consultation with one of our skilled Chicago social security disability attorneys.


QuickBooks has a powerful Job Costing feature that allows you to compare the income you made from a job to the expenses you incurred to provide the product or service. It allows to you see if a project was profitable or not.
If you're a contractor or other professional who really wants to know if you're making any money on the jobs you do, Job Costing is essential, especially if your job expenses include payroll. Sometimes you may feel like you made a bunch of money, but not realize that your labor costs were so high that you barely made a profit!
If you're using Intuit Payroll through QuickBooks, and using Timesheets to track Employee Hours, applying those hours to a Customer: Job is automatic, and Job Costing reports show your profit margin.
But if you're like most small businesses, you use an outside payroll service such as ADP, your accountant process your payroll, or you just write checks yourself. In these scenarios, your payroll expenses don't show up on your Profit & Loss report, even if you assign them to Customer:Jobs. You have to use a workaround!
It doesn't matter what you put in the Sales section, since it won't be used for that.
Now, let's look at your staff. Each person should be created either as a Vendor or an Other Name, instead of an Employee. If you already have them in as employees, make a new Other Name, with a slight variation (no two names can be exactly the same). You'll use this new account moving into the future.
To track the hours, use the Timesheet for each of the new Vendors/Other Names, with each entry applied to a Customer:Job. Don't check Billable unless you're passing on costs for the customer to pay.
Once the hours are in, write a check. It will have a $0 dollar amount. The purpose is simply to move the cost from an Expense to a trackable cost.
Use Payroll Service Clearing as the Bank at the very top.
Use the "Add Time/Costs" button to add time charges to the check (you may also get a popup asking if you want to add items; say yes). They will appear on the Items tab at the bottom.
Switch to the Expenses tab.
Enter the Account Payroll Job Costs.
Enter a negative dollar amount to zero out cost from Items tab.
To see this technique in action, watch this video from the Sleeter Group.
I run the maintenance and cleaning depts of a Property Management company and I invoice for the cleaning/carpets for the rentals. I have 2 cleaners and both are paid at a different rate. How do I enter their total expense to me when they are at different rates without altering my invoice to split it up between the 2 of them. Also, I invoice for carpet cleaning by the bedroom. Some 3 bedrooms are 1300 sq ft and some take longer because they are 1600 sq ft. Both are billed out at the same income rate though. How do I enter that expense when 1 takes 1 hour and the other takes an hour and a half?
Thank you for providing this work around though, it's VERY helpful!
It really would be best to create two Product Items for each of your cleaners if they're at different rates. But if you don't want to, you can use the Amount field like a calculator and add the two rates together.
It sounds like your Quantity field isn't turned on to be able to enter 1 hr or 1.5 hours. Check your Company Settings under Sales to turn these fields on.
Where would you enter the labor burden for each job since our employee's can be on several different jobs during the pay period?
You can use as many rows as you want. Assign the Job/Customer under the Name on the far right of each payroll row.
I really like the process you have described for job costing when payroll is outsourced. However, when the cost is different for each employee (we have 6) entering just one cost per item doesn't give us the true cost per job. We don't want to use an "average" cost but actually reflect the true cost per job depending on who worked on it. And in our case that is often 3-4 different employees.
Any ideas how to make it more accurate in this case?
Would it work to create several checks, one to break out each employee? The grand total is still the same to reflect your payroll, but each person can have their own transaction with their specific amount.
Is this in place of doing a journal entry for your payroll? Or is this in addition to; just to get the job costing in. I would only want to do this for our service employees and not our office staff.
You can adapt this technique into your existing payroll JE if that's the process you're using. Otherwise, make it a separate entry so that you can track each time you do this.
This technique does not work once you enter the time and write the check to the account for one or more employees.
It acts like a "one and done" scenario.
A new work around is needed.
If you have one, let m eknow.
Hi Steve, I'm not sure I understand you. This is a step you can take periodically and regularly to assign the job costs.
Even if the popup doesn't show up, you can click on the Add Time/Costs button in the toolbar, and you'll have the timecard entries to add to the Invoice.
This is the method I use in Desktop… but do we have a work around for QBO? I have a client using QBO full service payroll (which may as well be third party) They use Tsheets to track hours … but we need to move the dollars to jobs in QBO? Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi Tiffany, Why not do the same thing in QBO? Tsheets syncs to QBO and exports all employee time into QBO's Timesheets, so that part is taken care of and the rest functions the same way.
Aloha, I have been using this method for almost a year now, but while it seemed to work in the beginning,but it's impacting my P&L statement as now there's a line for the payroll servicing account showing a negative balance. This is weird because my payroll serving "bank" account is, of course, $0.00. Please also note upon seeing this I immediately went back and checked entries to make sure payroll "check" assigned customers, etc.
I will say though that it works great for job costing!
I am having the same issue. I had been using this method to allocate man hours to jobs all year and now its time to run the P&L and its including the payroll job costs in the Net Income….which cannot be correct, as I post entries for the actual payroll that is run outside. So basically, we are duplicating the labor expense here. How is the corrected so the P&L is accurate?
Hi Danielle, You should be running your P&L more than at the end of the year to make sure you're allocating correctly on a regular basis! I can't troubleshoot without seeing your setup. It sounds like maybe your Items aren't set up correctly, or you're missing one of the steps. The payroll allocation isn't zeroing itself out.
What would be the account codes that I should use? 6000 or 5000 ?
5000s are typically Cost of Goods and 6000s are typically overhead expenses, so it depends on your business. Most Payroll are 6000 accounts. Subcontractors tend to be 5000s.
I work for a construction company with about 60 employees. We use Excel to track time. The Excel workbook is massaged a little bit each week, then uploaded to our payroll processor, which prepares the checks and provides a journal entry to record the necessary entries.
We record job costs in a manner that appears to be somewhat similar to what you suggest in this post, in that it relies on the zero-dollar concept. However, instead of creating zero-dollar checks, we record a zero-dollar GL entry each week. The credit consists of aggregate payroll expense (hourly, overtime, salary, welder pay, truck pay, meals per diem, lodging per diem, and probably a few others I can't remember right now, along with taxes and an estimated workers comp cost), and is not assigned to a job. The debits are aggregate payroll expense applicable to each job; the sum of all job-allocated debits equals the non-allocated credit, so the net entry is zero, and the allocation of job costs doesn't disturb the P&L.
Management has expressed a desire to begin recording time in QuickBooks, The driving idea behind this is that the powers that be think they will be able to see a job profitability report with up-to-date labor costs — i.e., they'll see the labor expense associated with a job on that job's profitability report as soon as the time is entered.
But it appears as if the labor costs won't show up on the profitability report until the payroll bill or the check is created. I've had one adviser tell me that combining two reports is the best way to go, while another suggests I do the zero-dollar entry daily. I'm fresh out of ideas. Can you help?
The key to having this work is to select a "Customer:Job" on the Items tab of the Check; and leave blank the "Customer:Job" on the Expenses tab of the Check. After I figured this out, this method to allocate labor costs to a Job for clients who outsource their Payroll works like a charm.
I have a real estate client whose employees get bonus on properties. It's always a $500 bonus. I have a "Projects" tab where the projects are just property addresses.
First I run payroll for all her employees as usual. I then do a journal entry of $500 (for employees who earned a bonus that applies to a property) debit AND credit of wages and apply the debit to a project (or property). That way the main profit and loss doesn't get affected. It's just for PROJECT's profit and loss purposes.
Hi Stacie, You're doing everything right as far as the JE for job costing, but you should still run the Bonus as part of the payroll so that taxes are addressed. Bonuses are still taxable income. However, I don't do payroll taxes so I may not be the right person to ask…!
I work for a payroll service provider and we have a client using QB contractor desktop. We have created QB formatted output file to match the clients needs for job #, dept, hours and dollars. However, the client says the file cannot be imported. I noticed the output file segregates the data fields with a ! expression and not sure if this causes an issue during QB importing process. Can you provide any guidance on this so we can help our client?
Hi Stan, I would have to see the file to learn more, but I'm sure the ! is breaking the import. It also matters that the Chart of Accounts categories match exactly, and you may see a : character if there are subcategories. You may want to look at Transaction Pro Importer as a tool that might help.
Do I set up the employee to track labor costs in the Vendor Center or the Employee Center? When i set them up in Vendor Center I don't see where to add time and costs. it just sets up as a vendor bill. I think i'm doing something wrong.
Yes, Employees do need to be set up as Employees to use Payroll features. But if you're not seeing time and costs with vendors, you probably don't have the features turned on in the preferences!
what is the income account for the item?
It doesn't really matter, since you will never use it as an Income line item. You can point it to your main Income category.

Microsoft says 'PC market downturn' expected for the foreseeable future
The downturn in the PC market will last, at least according to Microsoft, which explains the 39% drop in revenue for Windows OEMs. Incidentally, OEM refers to major hardware manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo, and Dell that sell PCs with Windows preinstalled.
The data is troubling in the sense that the drop in Windows sales is certainly related to the drop in PC sales, given that there hasn't been a major change to the offering (no move to Linux, for example).
Microsoft itself cited "the ongoing downturn in the PC market and a very strong previous year" to explain the downturn. That the situation is not good was already clear from the data of companies such as Canalys, which reported a decline in the PC market by 29% in the last quarter of last year and 16% compared to the whole of 2021. However, putting this into perspective, sales in 2022 are still higher than in 2019, that is, in the pre-pandemic period, but the problem of a shrinking market remains that cannot be ignored.
The crisis in the PC market won't end anytime soon as Microsoft predicts a 30% decline in Windows OEMs in the first quarter of 2023. It is likely that sales will return to pre-pandemic levels, but we'll see.

Alumnus Bruce Stahlman: Real Life Buzz Lightyear
January 22, 2020 Erin Lathrop Features 3

Since graduating from Albion in 1979, Alumnus Bruce Stahlman has remained highly involved in the Albion College community. As someone who didn't go to college intending to be in healthcare, Stahlman has since become an advocate in the field. He spoke to the Healthcare 101 class, using his story to teach pre-medical students what the other side of healthcare is like and the important role healthcare plays for a family.
Stahlman has become a passionate advocate for the disabled community. His work at Arc Thrift, stores located throughout Colorado, has helped many people with disabilities get the funding for advocacy and services. He is a father of three boys, an older son named Jay as well as twins named Mark and Eric. He now has two grandchildren as well.
Days at Albion
In Stahlman's days at Albion, he was highly involved on campus. Stahlman was once a writer for The Pleiad and went on to be the business manager for a year. In addition to being involved in Greek Life, specifically Albion's chapter of Sigma Chi fraternity, Stahlman was also a member of orchestra and marching band for a couple of years.
Additionally, Stahlman played different intramural sports offered by the college and still holds on to his 1977 intermural soccer championship shirt.
Raising Eric and Mark
In 1992, Stahlman's wife, Kelly, gave birth to twins: Eric and Mark. The twins were born twenty-eight weeks pre-maturely. After being in the neonatal intensive care, two months for Mark and three months for Eric, they were both diagnosed with cerebral palsy and medical fragility.
Mark was non-verbal but learned to talk with a speech computer. Eric, on the other hand, was verbal but needed assistance breathing. Both of the twins were immobile and needed a wheelchair to get around.

"They also had many surgeries growing up, but it was easily one per year for things such as spine fusions, bone and muscle lengthening, stomach Nissen, and so forth and so on," Stahlman said in an interview.
In 2014, Mark passed away due to a blood clot at 21, and in 2015, Eric passed away from complications with sepsis or blood poisoning at the age of 23.
"Over 600 people had attended both services," Stahlman said in the same interview.
Stahlman attributed this to the fact that. both of the twins were, as he said, "consistently awesome self-advocates for the disabilities community and they touched many other lives."
Stahlman's Own Fight
In 2018, Stahlman was given his own battle to fight when he was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in his brain.
Stahlman stated that "in late August 2018 [he] hadn't been feeling well for a month and was having some minor balance issues."
On Aug. 28, 2018, Stahlman's wife urged him to go to the ER to get his head checked out for an MRI instead of going in to work that day.
"An hour after the MRI that the attending physician comes in and says, 'You have a large mass in your head. We're admitting you to the ICU,'" Stahlman said.
On Aug. 31, 2018, Stahlman went into a six-hour surgery.
"I was missing a cancerous tumor the size of a racquetball part of my brain," said Stahlman. "But I got a cool scar. They left most of the personality intact, which some [friends] feel it was a missed opportunity."
To help keep cancer away, Stahlman has to wear an opportune device that zaps any cancer cells when they begin to divide, thus preventing the cancer cells from growing.
Because of the battery pack that powers the opportune device, Stahlman says his coworkers call him "Buzz Lightyear."
Stahlman's optimistic attitude towards what life has thrown towards him also shows parallels to the character Buzz Lightyear. Both Stahlman and Lightyear have had their lives altered and changed in a drastic way, and neither back down. Rather, they adapt to what life throws at them.
"Some say it was a rough ticket getting brain cancer after having Mark and Eric and I say they have it completely wrong," Stahlman said. "Mark and Eric were huge blessings as we met so many great people in the disabilities community.

Greg: I think this might actually be the first time I've been to a Thursday showing of a movie, the day before it officially opens.
Liz: Really? Not even for Star Trek movies?
Greg: Nope - me and my dad would always go see them on opening day, but it was always the friday showings. I've always avoided screenings like this, because it just used to be a zoo.
Greg: But now, we can buy our pre-assigned seats a month in advance, and not have to worry about getting in line early to get a good seat. We get to have all of the obsession without any of the hassle!
Liz: You kind of miss it, don't you?
Greg: HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW BIG A FAN I AM IF I'M NOT SUFFERING FOR MY OBSESSION?!

Roy Hodgson believes confidence and belief are key factors for Crystal Palace in their battle to avoid relegation.
The Eagles have five games left in the campaign, three of which are at Selhurst Park, and the Palace boss says turning good performances into results is important for his side.
And Hodgson believes that confidence plays a part, while he says he has belief in the players within the squad to get the necessary points to help the Eagles survive this season.
"I think if the players are confident enough when they take to the field and have a clear idea on what the team needs to do, that hopefully should give them the confidence to go out and play if they have the quality to play at the level," he said.
"We believe we have the players who have the quality to play at the level and I would just expect them really to show that belief and like anything else, the table situation affects so much, the pressures from the outside weigh on players, but as a football coach there's only so much you can really do about that.
"You can't wave a magic wand and turn a lack of points into a surfeit of points.
But Hodgson admits that the last few games of the season, including Saturday's derby with Brighton & Hove Albion, could be nervy occasions for his side, with Palace just three points above the relegation zone.
And he says he hopes that his players can show the mental strength and experience to deal with the occasion, and not let any anxiety transmit from the crowd to the players.
"We are where we are and these last five games could be very nervy occasions," admitted Hodgson.
"We're going to be very anxious and there's no doubt that the anxiety will find its way from the crowd out onto the field and all I can hope for is that the players show their experience and stand up to it.


I have cruised with Royal Caribbean before, but when my boyfriend told me that he has never been on a cruise before, I knew nothing less than the Oasis of The Seas would do, especially since we were celebrating his 50th birthday. The ship is beautiful and very well maintained. The stateroom which was over-looking central park was gorgeous!!! It was spacious and well laid out. I will say that the shore excusions are hit or miss. The worst was St. Martin. We did a scenic tour and it was horrible. I understand that the islands got hit by a hurricane, but what we saw was people living in shipping containers, and tents. The service we received was a 10!!! From the cabin attendant to our waiters in the main dining room. Overall, I would rate my vacation as a 9!!! The food, cabin, ship and entertainment was outstanding and will definitely be cruising with Royal Caribbean again.
The cabin was spacious and well laid out. The balcony was overlooking central park and even being only 1 deck down from the pools, the cabin was very quiet. I loved it.
The most amazing experience I have ever had. We got a full hour with the dolphins and were able to touch and interact with them.
It was basically like seeing a 3rd world country. I was so disappointed in this excursion. I won't do scenic tours anymore.
Open aired jeep that took us to the highest point in St. Thomas. And we had some great drinks as well.
