Q: EditText change setError text position So so what im trying to implement has two parts
One im giving my edittext the passwordToggle for which im using
android.support.design.widget TextInputLayout+TextInputEditText
So this is how my edittext looks like

Part two is i want to add validation and set appropriate error message.
I need the error message to be shown as follows

My layout code is as follows
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    style="@style/editTextBold"
    android:id="@+id/input_pwd_parent"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:hintAnimationEnabled="false"
    app:hintEnabled="false"
    app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">

    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
        android:id="@+id/input_pwd"
        style="@style/editTextBold"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@android:color/transparent"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="@string/hint_pwd"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:padding="10dp" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

So what i want to know is
1.How do i hide/unhide the password toggle icon in the edittext via code?
2.Also how do i make the setError message appear in place of the passwordToggle icon(once i hide it via code)

A: Ended up creating a custom view

The component can be found here
https://github.com/vnh1991/CustomValidatorEditText
Import the lib project as a module ,
in your layout create a container
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.v2dev.customedittextdemo.MainActivity">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/llContainer"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        android:orientation="vertical"></LinearLayout>

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btnValidate"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/llContainer"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Validate" />

</RelativeLayout>

And in your activity load the component into the container
package com.v2dev.customedittextdemo;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
import android.widget.Toast;

import com.v_sQr_dev.customvalidatoredittext.CustomEdittext;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private LinearLayout llContainer;
    private Button btnValidate;
    private CustomEdittext inputPwd;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        llContainer = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llContainer);
        btnValidate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnValidate);
        inputPwd = new CustomEdittext(llContainer, this);
        inputPwd.setHint("PASSWORD");

        btnValidate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                if(inputPwd.validate()){
                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Input Valid",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }
        });
    }
}

When it comes to New Hampshire's future with flying cars – or "roadable aircraft," to give the preferred term – advocates have their main argument ready.
"Somebody's got to go first. Why not us?" said Rep. Steven Smith, R-Charleston.
Smith was speaking Thursday evening to a room full of legislators and state employees at a presentation by Terrafugia of Massachusetts and PAL-V of the Netherlands. These two firms with a New Hampshire presence are developing separate versions of two-person airplanes that can fold up their wings and propellers and be driven on public roads. The evening included a video presentation from a third such company, Oregon-based Sampson Sky.
"You're hearing from between 60% and 100% of the roadable aircraft marketplace," noted Mark Jennings-Bates, vice president of PAL-V, which has opened an office near Manchester airport.
None have vehicles commercially available but Terrafugia, which is flying a prototype at Nashua Municipal Airport, and PAL-V both hope to start selling a few vehicles as early as this year. Numbers would probably be limited to scores or perhaps hundreds over the next few years.
"It will be a very, very slow start," said Kevin Colburn, vice president of Terrafugia, responding to questions about whether the technology could crowd the state's airspace or roads. "We're not Honda."
The spur for Thursday's meeting, held in the office of National Flight Simulator, a pilot-training facility on Ammon Drive alongside the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, is a bill (HB1517) that tackles one of the thorniest issues for this technology. Flying vehicles and driving vehicles face different and sometimes conflicting safety and licensing regulations for everything from windshield design to engine types to stability of the steering wheel.
"A change in ground regulations might make meeting flight regulations not tenable, and vice-versa," said Sam Bousefield, CEO of Samson Sky in a video presentation.
Smith, who is the bill's lead sponsor, said it was a first step to making New Hampshire amendable to a technology that is closer than it seems. The goal is to make it so that when a craft is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration and gets an annual flight inspection, that will suffice for road-worthiness certification and state highway inspection. The bill does not have a hearing scheduled.
"We can make this a model. It can be a model for other states," said Terrafugia's Colburn regarding the legislation. "They would look here to see how to make it happen."
None of these models meet the idea of a flying car usually seen in cartoons because they don't take off from public roads or land in front of a home garage. They have to use airports or airstrips, just like private planes.
The makers say their advantage over planes is the "last mile" issue. Owners could drive to any of more than 5,000 airports in the country, take off and fly to another airport, then drive to their final destination without needing to have ground transportation available. This is likely to be valuable to businesses that have far-flung operations, especially those in areas far from major airports.
All three models have several things in common. All require a pilot's license to operate, use premium gasoline rather than special aviation fuel, have convention drive trains when traveling on the roads, can fit in a single-car garage, and fly via rear-mounted propellers that push them through the air.
All share some drawbacks. They must have repairs done by certified aircraft mechanics – "Your local garage can't lay a wrench on these," Smith noted – and each will cost at least $400,000 in the beginning.
Terrafugia is the best-known here because it is based in Massachusetts, where it was founded in 2006 by five MIT graduates, and has had a presence in Nashua for more than a year. It was bought by Zhejiang Geely Holding of Shanghai, China, in late 2017.
Its vehicle, the Transition, is a four-wheel car with wings that fold up on each side. The Transition has been licensed by the FAA as a light sport aircraft, which reduces the amount of flying time needed to get a pilot's license but puts certain restrictions on its use, such as the inability to use it to carry passengers.
The PAL-V is a three-wheeled vehicle that flies as a gyrocopter, a sort of simplified helicopter that helps keep it aloft and allows it to have smaller wings. It is certified as a general aviation craft that requires a private pilot's license to fly. It opened a sales office last year overseen by Keith Ammon, a former state representative who helped organize Thursday's meeting.
The Samson Sky is also a three-wheel vehicle. It is a "kit" aircraft, also known as a homebuilt plane, that must be assembled by the pilot. Homebuilt planes are common at airports, comprising about 10% of the total non-comm ercial aircraft fleet.

Dreamer Sues To Unblock The President's Biggest Immigration Proposal Yet
08/25/2016 09:20 pm ET Updated Aug 26, 2016
A Texas judge's decision has halted deferred action even in states that didn't oppose it.
By Cristian Farias
This New Yorker is asking a federal court to undo another federal court's order that he says shouldn't apply to him and millions of others in his same shoes.
NEW YORK ― An undocumented student who has lived in New York for nearly 20 years wants a federal court to declare that the president's plan to defer deportation for millions like him should be reinstated.
Queens resident Martín Batalla Vidal, a recipient of President Barack Obama's initial deferred action program, filed a federal lawsuit Thursday alleging that a national injunction that barred its expansion is way too broad to be legal.
A federal judge in Texas had blocked implementation of the plan last year, leading to an appeals battle that ended up all the way before the Supreme Court. But the justices were evenly split in the case, leaving the original injunction in place.
"I'm filing this lawsuit for myself and the thousands of others like me who have been wronged by this judge's decision," said Batalla Vidal in a statement accompanying the lawsuit's announcement.
A spokesman for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, which was named as a defendant in the case, declined to comment on the case because it's deemed pending litigation.
Batalla Vidal's legal effort aims to narrow the scope of the original order that left millions of undocumented immigrants like him in the lurch. When U.S. District Judge Andrew ruled in the Texas case, the federal government had no choice but to stop Obama's immigration proposal dead in its tracks ― even in the 24 states that did not join Texas' lawsuit over the policies, including New York, which favors deferred action.
The National Immigration Law Center, Make the Road New York and the immigrant rights' clinic at Yale Law School are supporting Batalla Vidal in the litigation.
It is unclear to what extent, if at all, this lawsuit might be affected by a separate move the Obama administration made last month asking the Supreme Court to revisit the deadlocked immigration case.
Stephen Legomsky, a law professor at Washington University specializing in immigration law, said in an email that the student's chances are "hard to predict," but that otherwise "the case law is clear" that court orders like the one Hanen issued shouldn't be so broad that they go beyond what the plaintiff ― in this case Texas ― is suing about.
"A court decision that finds the nationwide injunction improper could support future challenges to the other terms of the same injunction ― especially the part that enjoins all of [Obama's executive actions]," said Legomsky, also former chief counsel at USCIS. "So there is a great deal at stake."

In Western Michigan, what matters isn't how Amway is run, but what the DeVoses have done for the community. Drive through downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan's second-largest metropolis, and the family's contributions are omnipresent. There's the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. A few blocks west, hugging the Grand River that bisects the city, you'll find the sleek DeVos Place Convention Center, the DeVos Performance Hall and the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Across the water, the campus of Grand Valley State University is anchored by the spacious Richard M. DeVos Center. A few blocks north is the DeVos Learning Center, housed at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. (You would be forgiven if you assumed that DeVos, not Ford, had been president.)
I like the convenience that they offer. They have a wide variety of high quality products and their shipping is always on time. The layout of the website makes it quite easy to find the products I need and the specific package sizes that I am looking for. It would be good it they allowed for bundling certain items together in order to get a discount. They do it to a certain extent, but it would be great if they offer far more options and combinations. It was a clear, organized experience that made shopping quite enjoyable. Checking out was easy and the entire experience was hassle free.

In a breakfast speech to volunteers at Holland Christian Schools on May 12, 1975, Ed Prince warned that lazy and neglectful U.S. citizens were not doing their fair share, forcing the government to, as a Holland Sentinel article described it, "play an increasingly larger role in our daily and personal lives." (You don't have to listen too hard to hear an echo of Ed Prince in his daughter, Betsy. "[For welfare recipients] to sit and be handed money from the government because they think a job like that is beneath them," the heiress sighed to the Detroit Free Press in 1992. "If I had to work on a line in a factory, I would do that before I would stand in line for a welfare check.")
We also were in business in Amway and we DID make money. We worked hard and earned it. BUT, as with any business, especially a direct marketing, we had uplines (the people above us) who were cheats and liars and only wanted money for themselves, not others. They in effect, stopped us at a certain level from making anymore money. We changed to a different group, but by then our dynamic was gone and we couldn't do much. As with any business, NOT just Amway, you have to deal with people. And THAT is the problem. My husband got tired of fighting and not getting anywhere and he quit. I am still in it because, let's face it, the products ARE the BEST. We started sometime around 1986. We met some fantastic people, we had the time of our lives, and it WAS our life. I missed it terribly, and I still miss alot of those people. But through it, we came away with MANY many good things learned, and still do have some very close friends from it. My upline now is my VERY best friend in the world, more like a sister. We are older now and have plenty of money for ourselves, so our interest is not in making money at this point, but simply living our wonderful lives now. If you are out to make money, you CAN do it in Amway. But the right way is the way to do it. Don't cheat, be good to your people, and really believe in what you have and what you can do.
This year's report examined how age, gender and education levels impact attitudes towards entrepreneurship. It also examined various aspects that either hinder or help entrepreneurs – internal factors (such as commitment, willingness to take risks, knowledge of how to earn money) and external factors (such as their country's operating environment, technology availability and entrepreneurially forward education system).
The reason some people received $84 was because they didn't work hard enough to earn more. This business isnt for everyone. Just try the products and of you dont like them then return them you have 6 months to return them. Just dont start stating facts that aren't true just because you lost a friend. They probably left because they trying to be with people who were trying to succeed. Take it from me im 16 years old and this business has not failed me yet.
When I told my parents about the business, they were immediately skeptical, but since my dad is a salesman he was supportive. The next week I was in the middle of teaching and got a phone call from the girl. She claimed that she had gotten a "last minute ticket" to their Thursday night meeting. She tried to describe how exclusive it is and basically hinted how honored I should feel to be invited. Unfortunately, it was so last minute we just couldn't do it. We were too tired after a long day at work. The following Thursday we went to the meeting. It was the strangest experience, and it was WAY too long. We didn't get home till 11 o'clock, and my husband had to be at work by 7:15. We were exhausted. Every few days we were having to meet for training with our mentors as well as watching videos and listening to CDs. They make sure to consume your life with a little bit of positive Amway, so you don't listen to the negative Amway. Guys, this literally can be described as a brainwashing method.
Amway allows me to buy health, beauty, and home care products in a fashion that no other site does. It provides multi level marketing which builds a relationship between buyer and seller. However, the thing I would change about this company is to make their service more user friendly. As of right now it is extremely difficult for me to navigate their site to search for items I want. My overall experience for using this company has been rather well thus far. In terms of product selection, there are a large catalog of products that I can choose from. The purchasing process is as streamlined as any other site and the customer service has been impeccable too.
Amway has historically gotten much more criticism for its business practices than its products. As middle men, distributors often falsely claim that they cut out that very middle man. This supposedly results in more competitive, "wholesale" prices. On the contrary, Amway's prices are typically higher than their closest competitors. The prices only become more appealing when employees have a significant downline beneath them.
In 2013 IBOs, people who qualified to be Business Consultants in the UK earned an average annual income of GBP21,048. This falls short ofthe UK average annual income of GBP26,500. It is however substantially better than those Amway IBOs who were not business consultants, as their average income for 2013 was less than GBP1,300 .We are not surprised, Amway has not made the 2013 Income Disclosure Statement publicly available on their website. However we found a copy for you.
The 12-step shtick was a ready justification for the cult-like regimen of World Wide followers. Like alcoholics, wage junkies had to attend frequent meetings, supplemented with books and tapes, to keep on track; they had to dissociate themselves from bad influences, i.e. "broke" friends and relatives who would try to keep them down; they had to follow "Eight Core Steps" (four of which involved buying stuff from either Amway or World Wide Dreambuilders); and they had to let go of their ego and overcome their fear of change, to open themselves to the counseling of their upline "sponsors." Sponsoring, as in Alcoholics Anonymous, was an act of love and healing. Your uplines would never mislead you, even if their wisdom might seem strange to your still job-addled mind.
Georgia put the game away by halftime with a 42-7 lead that included three touchdown passes from sophomore quarterback Jake Fromm, another from freshman signal caller Justin Fields as well as his first career rushing touchdown, and a 100-yard rushing performance from junior tailback Elijah Holyfield, the first of his career as well. Sophomore wideout Jeremiah Holloman turned in a breakout performance with three grabs for 90 yards and a touchdown.
These businesses sell the hope of getting rich by recruiting recruiters to sell overpriced products that don't move in real markets. The products of any MLM have to be extremely cheap to manufacture and must retail at inflated, unrealistic prices because in effect, the products are simply used to move money into the pyramid scheme. Just remember that there are several hundred MLMs in existence in 2014 and all of them are scams.
But the problem with "public franchises" like McDonald's, Scott noted, is that they only allow one person to enjoy this enchanted income. "Private" or "multilevel" franchises, on the other hand, allow people at all levels to duplicate themselves. Everyone begins as a grit-teeth franchise operator, but by "sharing their business with others" they would come into an exponentially expanding avalanche of wealth large enough to outrun the ballooning costs of twentieth-century life.
The Coaches Poll has come under criticism for being inaccurate, with some of the charges being that coaches are biased towards their own teams and conferences, that coaches don't actually complete their own ballots, and that coaches are unfamiliar with even the basics, such as whether a team is undefeated or not, about teams they are voting on.[5][6] In 2012, USC Trojans coach Lane Kiffin resigned as a voter after just one vote amidst controversy over his preseason selection of his school as No. 1. Kiffin told reporters, "I would not vote USC No. 1, I can tell you that much." However, USA Today, citing the need to "protect the poll's integrity", revealed that Kiffin had voted his team for the top spot. Kiffin apologized and explained that his comments were from the perspective of an opposing coach voting for USC.[7]
To sell Amway products, you'll first need to register as an Independent Business Owner (IBO), which will then give you the opportunity to earn an income through their Compensation Plan. After signing up as an IBO, Amway claims that you'll never be alone due to their world-class business resources, support, education, training, as well as mentoring. However, despite how great the company makes their business opportunity appear, the fact is that most people never make any money (see Bottom Line section for additional information).
Renata tells us about the best local attractions, recommending particular farm-to-table restaurants and yoga studios as my husband and I make slow, opposing circles around the room. We meet in front of the master bathroom. The shower is wide enough for three people with three showerheads, a knee-high tawny-colored tile wall, and the rest of the walls completed with glass. The whirlpool bathtub could easily accommodate three.
I am a temp there currently. I work in nutrition. Not only what the title says but the management does nothing but hassle you about little petty things that overall dont matter in the long run. If you do your research, this company sells overly expensive bs products that dont really work. They are SNAKE OIL salesmen and producers. $300 For a small thing of anti aging cream that doesnt really work. Its just placebo! $120 For a small box of "meal replacement" powder that really is just full of soy, powdered milk, and fake "natural" flavoring! They are a scamming mlm company just like younique and all the other ones. AND IF YOU DONT KNOW ALREADY AN MLM IS A PYRAMID SCHEME! The so called "independant" business owners on here are just fake reviews to peddle their "radical new protein powder :DDDDD". The work environment is absolutely terrible. Half the time the lines arent even up and when they are down they want you to clean.... even though everything has been cleaned! I LITTERALLY stood there for an hour and a half cleaning the same spot over and over as id already cleaned the whole line! You cant talk to anyone unless you want the techs to report it to your coordinator. We do it anyways as human interaction is human nature and you cant stop that. The techs WONT LET YOU use your phone if you have nothing to do but check their social media and PLAY GAMES and sit down when their line is running and they have nothing to do! They get onto us about it and its bs! These 2 individuals that keep coming back after they time out (The contract is 1 year 8 months) think that they are gods more... gift to this green earth and think they are your boss keep causing conflict and undue stress to me and several others but they refuse to fire them because "the techs say they are good workers". I wake up half the time to go to work and puke my guts out due to the stress they put us through. I hate this place. NEVER WORK FOR AN MLM. Say hi to r/antimlm by the way. less
Rallies begin with a ritual called "crossing the stage," in which distributors who have attained a new bonus level go up to receive their commemorative pin and shake hands with a Diamond. From the crowd of about five hundred, two couples "crossed" at the 1,000 PV level (the lowest warranting a pin) and received a standing ovation from the audience. From the stage, the host then called out all the levels from 1,500 PV to 7,500 PV. Nobody emerged from the audience—which, nonetheless, remained on its feet applauding. The host kept cajoling, "C'mon, there's plenty of room up here," as if it were shyness that was keeping people away. It was the archetypal Amway moment: a crowd giving a standing ovation to nobody.
This collective approach is how the family runs their home lives, too. The DeVoses' myriad properties are managed through a single private company, RDV Corporation, which both manages the family's investments and operates as a home office, paying the family's employees, maintaining the DeVoses' residences and assuring them as frictionless a life as possible. (The duties outlined by one recent property-manager job with RDV Corporation include "ensur[ing] doors are well-oiled to avoid squeaking" and that "broken toys [are] repaired or disposed of.")
But there is one thing that we need to understand here. Like in an MLM scheme which is a Ponzi scheme, the business that an Amway distributor does, depends on finding new distributors and then hoping that these new distributors sell Amway products and at the same time are able to appoint newer distributors. If a distributor is successful at this he makes more and more money. The trouble is that we go along it becomes more difficult to appoint new distributors. Lets try and understand this through an example. Lets say the first distributor that a genuine MLM company appoints, in turn appoints five distributors.
"This is an extremely contentious, controversial business model," business consultant and author Robert L. FitzPatrick told the Detroit Free Press in 2006. "If you go to work for Hewlett-Packard, you don't walk in the door saying, 'Hey, I wonder if this is a scam?' But anybody who gets into multilevel marketing will have to deal with that question."
The next week, I decided. I would never learn the truth about Amway until I joined. I left a message on Josh's Amvox voicemail telling him I had the $160 check ready. A week later, I left another message. By my third attempt, I got Josh himself (who had been intending to return my calls) and was finally able to arrange a time to separate me from my money. It wasn't the last time I felt he and Jean weren't exactly cut out for the rigors of The Business.
Amway is a company involved in direct selling different kinds of products. It has been in business over 50 years and claims to have helped over 3 million Independent Business Owners (IBOs) to create a successful business of their own. The company operates in more than 100 countries of the world by offering a wide range of products, complete customer support, extensive training opportunities, etc. Amway is based out of Ada, MI, and has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. There are only eleven closed complaints over the last several years. It seems that the company has a generally positive reputation among IBOs with the most common compliments referencing the high quality of the products, fast delivery and excellent customer service. There are few complaints the most common of which cited high prices, difficulty making money, and cunning recruiting tactics. Similar to Herbalife, this company deals with direct selling. It means that their business model involves individuals who earn commissions off each sale of their exclusive products. You can use Amway as a business owner (sell products) and as a customer (buy products).
The recently published book, No One Would Listen, by whistle blower, Harry Markopolos, dramatically describes how SEC regulators ignored his alerts and allowed the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme to grow to enormous proportions. Their failure to act caused harm to thousands more people, despite his written and detailed warnings, which he brought to the agency five separate times over an eight-year period of investigating the scam. Additionally, the news media such as the Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine also failed to respond to his evidence which he offered them. Madoff was apparetnly treated as "too big to expose."

Cultus Lake is located  south of the Chilliwack River, near the city of Chilliwack and approximately  east of Vancouver. In 1950, Cultus Lake became a provincial park of British Columbia. Cultus Lake covers an area of 656 hectares, evenly on either side of the lake. At one time the lake had a sawmill and booming ground until it became a provincial park in the 1950s.

Etymology
Cultus Lake has always been an important place for spirit quests of the Sto:lo people. However, it was named with the Chinook Jargon word meaning primarily bad,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cayoosh.net/hiyu/adject.html#engl |title=Chinook Jargon Phrasebook: Adverbs & Adjectives |access-date=2010-03-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514064756/http://www.cayoosh.net/hiyu/adject.html#engl |archive-date=2011-05-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref> worthless, or good for nothing, though the same word can also mean free, without purpose, or simply nothing''.

Government
The Cultus Lake Parks Board includes five commissioners, of whom 3 are elected from Cultus Lake, and 2 from the City of Chilliwack (as of 2017, Darcy Bauer and David Renwick). During the early 1900s, the Cultus Lake area began to build its popularity, which then led to the formation of a joint committee between Cultus Lake and the City of Chilliwack in 1924. This then led to the formation of the Cultus Lake Park Board in 1932, which is still in effect today. As of 2014, the board chairman is David Renwick.

Education
Cultus Lake Community School has approximately 150 students from Kindergarten to Grade 6. The school was first opened in 1947 as a three-room schoolhouse. It was destroyed by fire in February 1959; the current building opened in October of the same year. The school is administered by the Chilliwack School District.

Paleolit (gr. παλαιός, palaiós 'stary', λίθος, líthos 'kamień'), starsza epoka kamienia, epoka kamienia łupanego – pierwszy okres epoki kamienia, jedna z epok prehistorii, najstarszy i najdłuższy etap w dziejach rozwoju społeczności ludzkiej. Rozpoczyna się z chwilą pojawienia się form przedludzkich zdolnych do wytwarzania prymitywnych narzędzi (otoczaki, pięściaki i rozłupce). W historii geologicznej odpowiada epoce plejstocenu (2,58 mln – 11,7 tys. lat temu) i początkowi holocenu.

Termin "paleolit" wprowadził w 1865 angielski etnolog John Lubbock.

Paleolit dzieli się na:
 paleolit dolny – (od ok. 2,5-2,0 mln – do ok. 120 tys. lat temu)
 paleolit środkowy – (od ok. 350-300 tys. – do ok. 40 tys. lat temu)
 paleolit górny – (od ok. 40 tys. lat temu – do ok. 14 tys. lat p.n.e.)
 paleolit późny – (od ok. 14 tys. – do 8 tys. lat p.n.e.)

Paleolit dolny (ok. 2,5 mln lat – ok. 120 tys. lat temu)
Paleolit dolny to okres trwający ok. 3 mln lat. W tym czasie, ok. 2,5 mln lat temu, przedstawiciele form przedludzkich zaczynają wytwarzać prymitywne narzędzia kamienne (narzędzia otoczakowe). Najstarsza znana kultura to kultura Olduvai rozwijająca się w północno-zachodniej Tanzanii; tam otoczaki i rozłupce znaleziono obok szczątków Homo habilis.

Znaleziska w Lomekwi 3 nad Jeziorem Turkana w Kenii dokonane w 2015 r. przesuwają okres wytwarzania narzędzi znacznie wcześniej. Wykopano około 20 dobrze zachowanych artefaktów, w tym kowadła, rdzenie i odłupki pochodzące z okresu 3 mln 300 tys. lat temu. Na powierzchni znaleziono dodatkowe 130 artefaktów. W jednym przypadku zespół Soni Harmand był w stanie dopasować płatek do jego rdzenia, sugerując, że wczesny człowiek wykonał i wyrzucił narzędzie na miejscu. Narzędzia były ogólnie dość duże – większe niż najstarsze znane narzędzia kamienne, odkryte w 1992 r. w Gona oraz w regionie Afar w Etiopii. Największe waży 15 kg i mogło być używane jako kowadło. Według Soni Harmand okazało się, że twórcy narzędzi celowo wybrali duże, ciężkie bloki mocnego kamienia, ignorując mniejsze bloki z tego samego materiału znalezionego w okolicy. Wykluczyła możliwość, że narzędzia były w rzeczywistości naturalnymi formacjami skalnymi, mówiąc: "Artefakty były wyraźnie obstukiwane, nie były wynikiem przypadkowego pęknięcia skał". Analiza sugeruje, że rdzenie były obracane, gdy odpadały płatki. Cel narzędzi znalezionych w Lomekwi 3 jest niejasny, ponieważ kości zwierzęce znalezione w tym miejscu nie noszą żadnych oznak aktywności wczesnych ludzi.

W Etiopii w 1992 r. znaleziono narzędzia otoczakowe wyprodukowane prawdopodobnie ok. 2,5 mln lat temu przez Australopithecus afarensis. Świadczyłoby to o tym, że obok gatunków Homo także australopiteki posiadały umiejętność wytwarzania narzędzi. Prawdopodobnie już 1,6 mln lat temu człowiek posiadł umiejętność wykorzystywania ognia. Kultura Olduvai przetrwała ok. 2-1,5 mln lat i została zastąpiona przez kulturę aszelską. Z kulturą aszelską wiąże się umiejętność wznoszenia pierwszych schronień mieszkalnych. Ok. 1 mln lat temu znikają z powierzchni Ziemi ostatnie australopiteki, od tego momentu Ziemię zamieszkuje szybko rozprzestrzeniający się rodzaj Homo.

W 2018 r. opublikowano kolejne znaleziska, które przesuwają okres migracji i wytwarzania narzędzi znacznie wstecz. W Chinach odkryto narzędzia datowane na 2 mln 100 tys. lat temu. Robin Dennell, archeolog z Uniwersytetu w Sheffield w Anglii stwierdził: "Wykazaliśmy, że najwcześniejsze dowody spoza Afryki mają co najmniej 2,1 miliona lat, a zatem są starsze o 250 tys. lat – czyli o 10 tys. pokoleń – niż Dmanisi w Gruzji".

Paleolit środkowy (ok. 250 lub 200 tys. – ok. 40 tys. lat temu)

W paleolicie środkowym paleoantropy (Homo neanderthalensis) udoskonaliły techniki obróbki kamienia, używały broni miotanej (dzidy, oszczepy) i stworzyły zalążki kultury duchowej, obrządek pogrzebowy, przechowywanie czaszek przodków, rytualny kanibalizm.

Według najnowszych badań datowany jest na 200 tysięcy lat.

Paleolit górny (ok. 40 tys. – ok. 14 tys. lat p.n.e.)

W paleolicie górnym pojawiły się neoantropy (Homo sapiens fossilis) odpowiadające zarówno pod względem budowy fizycznej, jak i potencjalnych możliwości umysłowych człowiekowi współczesnemu.

Nastąpił wówczas gwałtowny rozwój technik krzemieniarskich, rozkwitł przemysł rogowy i kościany, rozpoczęto stosowanie wyszukanych strategii myśliwskich (m.in. zaczęto używać łuku do polowania) i nowych form budownictwa mieszkalnego. Powstała sztuka, plastyka figuralna, zdobnictwo i ornamentacja na narzędziach.

Paleolit późny (ok. 14 tys. lat p.n.e. do 8 tys. lat p.n.e.)
Ostatni etap paleolitu, ograniczony do Niżu Środkowoeuropejskiego i sąsiadującego z nim pasma wyżyn. Cofnięcie się lądolodu skandynawskiego pobudziło wówczas żyjące na tym obszarze grupy ludzi do ekspansji na obszary położone na nizinach. Doszło do wykształcenia nowych kultur:
 magdaleńskiej
 kultura hamburska
 kultura z liściakami

Około 12 tysięcy lat temu dochodzi do udomowienia psa, 10 tysięcy lat temu zaczyna się rozwijać rolnictwo i hodowla zwierząt, a 8 tysięcy lat temu powstają pierwsze miasta, dając początek wielkim cywilizacjom, a tym samym kończąc prehistoryczny etap rozwoju ludzkości.

The Philippines has topped the global list for time spent online with an average og 10 hours and two minutes of screen time every day.
Other Southeast Asian countries in the top five were Thailand and Indonesia, according to the 2019 Global Digital Report released by HootSuite and We Are Social.
Ranked third, people in Thailand were found to spend an average nine hours and 11 minutes online each day, while those in Indonesia also devoted more than a third of their day to screen time, clocking in at an average eight hours and 36 minutes.
Filling out the top five were Latin American countries Brazil and Colombia, which were ranked second and fourth, respectively.
The report reveals that 57 per cent of the world's population is now connected to the internet, spending an average of 6.5 hours online each day.
The report's author, Simon Kemp, has calculated that the "world's digital community will spend a combined total of more than 1.2bn years using the internet in 2019".
The findings from the Digital 2019 report show that most time spent online is via mobile devices, with the greatest portion of that time spent on social media. It also charts an exponential increase in the number of new internet users.
The country that experienced the biggest jump in internet usage last year was India, which saw the number of internet users jump by almost 100 million last year.
Despite (or perhaps because of the massive amount of screen time), the Philippines continues to lag behind when it came to average fixed connection speeds. Singapore was at the top 190.9 mbps, while the country's was just a tenth of that speed — at a measly 19.
Social media penetration in the country is at 71 per cent, above the worldwide average of 45 per cent, the report said.
Some 79 million Filipinos aged 13 and older are users.
Social media grew in the country by 13 percent, with more than nine million users added since January last year.
Filipinos also spent the most time on social media at four hours and 12 minutes on average per day.
Facebook is the most used social media platform in the Philippines, with more than two million new users since last October.
And as we reported last December, Filipinos have maintain their long -running record of spending longest per visit on the adult website Pornhub. The average visitor to the site lasts 13 minutes and 50 seconds in the Philippines. This compares to a global average of 10m 37s.

What New Tech Holds the Most Promise for Colorado?
Colorado Chief Technology Officer David McCurdy has heard the hype around blockchain, but he sees more possibilities with another new technology on the horizon.
by Noelle Knell / October 18, 2017
Colorado Chief Technology Officer David McCurdy
Colorado Chief Technology Officer David McCurdy wishes he'd had the foresight to invest in bitcoin in the early days. Speaking with Government Technology at the NASCIO conference in Austin earlier this month, he added, "I think we're all wishing that right now." Today, one bitcoin is worth more than $5,000.
But despite bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies' reliance on underlying blockchain technology, McCurdy doesn't anticipate a lot of uptick for blockchain in government, at least not yet. Instead, he's more interested in the potential of artificial intelligence technology, and he's got a couple of use cases in mind.
Colorado's More Modern CRM
There are two areas in particular where the applications for AI in government are clear to McCurdy – and he's not alone. Grappling with an ever-growing threat landscape, he sees AI as an important component of the way large organizations like Colorado can effectively secure their data and assets.
In addition, McCurdy acknowledges that AI can help automate responses to frequently asked citizen questions using chatbot technology. "If I can take eighty percent of our tier one calls off of those phones, then I could provide better customer service for the people that do call in," he said.

YAY! It's Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon time again! This time I'll be hosting a mini-challenge at Hour 18. I hope you are conscious enough to stop by and take part. I have been itching to start reading all morning. I really do envy those of you who get to start just after waking up.
Most my updates will be via Twitter and Instagram. The blog just takes a bit too long to update and interrupts the flow of reading (who am I kidding?).
I will probably only read 4 books but I like to have a selection. My top tip is to pick authors who have previously kept you up at night reading. Or really, really scary books. Of course, I reserve my right to grab a completely different book if I want to!
Adorkable by Sarah Manning - wanted a light and fun YA contemp.
The Echo by James Smythe - I always read his books in one sitting.
Chimes at Midnight by Seanan McGuire - love this series, have been saving this for readathon!
Seige and Storm by Leigh Bardugo - I'm now not sure I remember enough of book one to read this whilst half asleep so it may go to the bottom of the pile.
The Elites by Natasha Ngan - all I know is it's YA fantasy and everyone loves it.
The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes - her other books have had me sobbing into the early hours, fingers crossed for this one.
Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner - short and highly recommended.
I made my own sushi. They're a bit messy and the rice isn't perfect but they're not bad for a first try. I also have homemade hummus, watermelon, pineapple and plenty of sliced gammon in the fridge for sandwiches. Plus pre-baked potatoes if I fancy something a bit more filling. On the unhealthy side, I have Pombears (both cheesy and bacon flavours) and wasabi peanut crackers which have become a bit of a readathon tradition for me.
Bournemouth, UK. I've already been outside for some daylight absorbtion and fresh air (one of the few plusses to starting later in the day). The heating will be on.
The Echo by James Smythe (it only arrived yesterday). It's a sequel. I love all his books. SQUEE!
I'm just looking forward to snacking on everything (see above). When I work from home I have to be careful not to constantly eat so it's free rein for me today.
I test software for a living, which currently involves me staying at home watching telly most of the week. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it.
I promised myself a free reign on snacking too :) Good luck with reading!!
Yummy snacks, the sushi looks like what we call California Rolls, and a nice stack of books, though I didn't read them yet. I have one of the JoJo Moyes, but at this early hour I couldn't tell you which :) Enjoy and I will check in a bit later. You go, girl!
Your snacks sounds AMAZING! Impressed with the sushi - I made it once and it tasted brilliant but looked shoddy. Yours look way better! I'm a bit impromptu on the taking part thing so haven't managed to cobble proper snacks together - shortly taking a quick break to head out to the shop for reinforcements!
Maggot Moon looks good! Happy reading!
The sushi looks pretty impressive. I keep meaning to take up a friend on her offer to teach me how to make it. Or cheat and buy that little gizmo from Kitchens that does it for you.

Music School is OUT for SUMMER!
Our last day of teaching for this academic year was Friday 28th July.
It was a busy year as always and we are very thankful for our incredibly talented students, supportive parents and a wonderful team of staff. Thank you all!!
We will start a brand new term on Saturday 2nd September and already have a number of exciting plans for the coming year. Please see our term dates below along with some other dates for your diaries.
Wishing all of our students and families a wonderful summer break and we look forward to seeing you in September!


You can only squeeze so much water out of a sponge before you have to soak it again. In this day and time most of us are busy and have ourselves overbooked. It's important to stop and recharge from time to time. This became evident to me when I started speaking a lot. Now and then, rather than speak, I need to stop, listen, and recharge.
It's very important when in a rodeo lifestyle. Back when I was going hard, I always looked forward to coming home to sleep in my own bed and spend time on the ranch. I called it relaxing, but I was actually "soaking up more water" and recharging. Afterwards, I could go back out on the road. Rodeo traveling is busy and stressful, not to mention the pressure and stress of competition. Some guys take vacations. Some would fly their families out and take a family vacation. Young single guys might go to a ball game or play golf. All of these activities offer a chance to recharge.
This is as important, if not more so, for your horse. I always give my horses a chance to recharge. I might ride them in the pasture or punch cows on them. I like to take the tie-down off, put a grazing bit on them and do something different. I feel it's important to spend time riding your horse out of the stressful situation of competition.
This year I went to fifteen rodeos over six weeks versus trying to make fifty or sixty rodeos a year. It's been very enjoyable to have my family with me and be able to take the time to stop and see things while we've been traveling. It's fun to sightsee with my kids rather than race down the highway to the next rodeo and pass those things by.
Everyone needs a "recharge plan" to keep themselves, their family, and their horses from burning out. Take break, stop and smell the roses. Competition is fun, exciting and hopefully profitable. But it will never replace a relationship with your loved ones. You might be surprised what a little trail riding will do for your horse's attitude.
Regardless of your occupation, everyone needs to recharge regularly. People are trying to get too much done in too little time. Recharging for you may mean taking a vacation. For me, it means going home, shutting the front gate and turning off my cell phone.
The other day Jennifer posted a photo on our STS Ranch Wear Facebook of Stone holding a calf's legs while we were branding. On the photo was this saying: "Don't handicap your kids by making their life easy." That one post was viewed over 100,000 times and shared 25,000 times.
It's far easier, and quicker, to do something for your kid than to let him do it himself. I'm guilty of this myself. It's a real challenge to slow down and let your child do something himself. No, he won't be as quick, or do it as well as you would. That's not the point. If you don't give him the opportunity to do a chore or complete a job or task he's been given, you're robbing him of the opportunity to be proud of himself.
With technology today, almost every kid you see is playing on a phone, ipad, or some other electronic device. It's fun for them and can entertainment them for hours. Some of those hours would be time better spent learning some responsibility or spending time with family.
We want so much for our children that we tend to hand them nice things without teaching them the value or making them earn it. Do you think a 13-year old that's riding a $5,000 to $10,000 horse really understands what a nice horse he has? Not likely.
I can't even imagine trying to raise kids in the city. Folks in the country or on ranches have better opportunities to teach their kids how to earn the things they want.
I've mostly been home for the last couple of years and I've enjoyed spending that time with my family. Raising kids is challenging these days and you have to have a game plan. You can't do anything successfully without one. It's easier at home to let my boys do things for themselves. My dad was really good at letting me figure things out. It's hard to believe I was driving a tractor when I was Stone's age.
Since we've been rodeoing this summer I find it way too easy to 'hand my kids a fish' rather than letting them fish. The nature of rodeo is to hurry from one to the next and time is a luxury we don't always have.
No matter where you live, or what you do for a living, today you have to compete for your children's attention. This generation that's raising kids now has a big challenge. We have to teach them the value of a dollar. We have to teach them how to work for what they want. We have to let them learn how to do things, and sometimes fail, rather than do it for them.
As an adult, your child will be more likely to thank you for teaching the value of hard work than for letting him lay in front of the television.


Wayne is dark, violent, funny and at times crazy but also delivers sweet and heartfelt moments. There are a ton of creative violent moments that I should of expected from the writers of Deadpool but I found myself constantly surprised. Whether it was someone destroying a guy's bike with a bat while the guy was locked to a pole with a bike lock around his neck, freeing illegal immigrants from a boss who was taking advantage of them by nail gunning him to his van or seeing a bunch of high school students coming out of their school dance to beat up a middle aged man and his sons set to Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles", this show constantly made me ask "what I was watching?" but in a good way.

Q: Is this Munkres' proof rigorous? If not, please show me a rigorous proof.
I am reading "Analysis on Manifolds" by James R. Munkres.
Is this Munkres' proof of Corollary 10.5 rigorous?
If not, please show me a rigorous proof.
I think Munkres' proof is an intuitive proof.
I think Munkres uses 2-dimensional figure to prove n-dimensional case.

A: There are deceptively simple theorems that are difficult, e.g., Jordan curve theorem, or just tedious to prove.   Because every step is not justified in detail does not mean the proof is not rigorous.
Munkres has outlined the steps to prove a seemingly self-evident corollary that the volume of a rectangle is no greater than the sum of volumes of rectangles in a finite cover. That this even is explicitly stated as a corollary speaks to the level of detail that appears in this book -- in contrast to other books on this subject.
A good exercise would be to fill in the details.  Even the first step -- choose a rectangle $Q'$ containing all rectangles $Q_1,Q_2,\ldots, Q_k$ -- requires justification to be completely (and perhaps excessively) thorough.  Supplying the details here should help you do the same for the remainder of the proof.
In this regard, let $Q_j = [a_{j1},b_{j1}] \times \ldots \times [a_{jn},b_{jn}]$ for $1 \leqslant j \leqslant k$, and define
$$\alpha_p = \min_{1 \leqslant j \leqslant k} a_{jp},\quad \beta_p = \max_{1 \leqslant j \leqslant k} b_{jp}, \quad Q' = [\alpha_1,\beta_1] \times \ldots \times [\alpha_n, \beta_n]$$
If $(x_1,\ldots, x_n) \in Q_j$, then $\alpha_p \leqslant a_{jp} \leqslant x_p \leqslant b_{jp} \leqslant \beta_p$, and consequently $x_p \in [\alpha_p, \beta_p]$ for all $1 \leqslant p \leqslant n$. This, of course, implies that $Q_j \subset Q'$ for all $1 \leqslant j \leqslant k$.
Proceed now to the next step -- use the endpoints of the component intervals of the rectangles $Q, Q_1, \ldots, Q_k$ to define a partition $P$ of $Q'$, etc.

Occator's Bright Spots in 3-D
Full-Res JPEG (1019 x 816) (66.1 kB)
This 3-D image, or anaglyph, shows the center of Occator Crater, the brightest area on dwarf planet Ceres, using data from NASA's Dawn mission. The bright central area, including a dome that is 0.25 miles (400 meters) high, is called Cerealia Facula. The secondary, scattered bright areas are called Vinalia Faculae.
A 2017 study suggests that the central bright area is significantly younger than Occator Crater. Estimates put Cerealia Facula at 4 million years old, while Occator Crater is approximately 34 million years old.
The reflective material that appears so bright in this image is made of carbonate salts, according to Dawn researchers. The Vinalia Faculae seem to be composed of carbonates mixed with dark material.
A broader, high-resolution view of this area is shown in PIA20350 .
Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

Ireland: Perrigo acquires OTC brands from GSK
June 12, 2015 By Innovation Editor - Europe GSK, Perrigo In Europe, Health & Beauty
The Ireland-based company Perrigo, the world's largest manufacturer of OTC products and supplier of infant formulas, has announced a deal through which it will acquire well-known OTC brands from GSK.
The acquisitions include the NiQuitin nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) business, primarily in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Brazil; Novartis's legacy Australian NRT business, including the Nicotinell brand; several assorted OTC brands including Coldrex across the EEA, and Panodil, Nezeril, and Nasin in Sweden; and Novartis's legacy cold sore management products primarily in the EEA, marketed under the brand names Vectavir, Pencivir, Fenivir, Fenlips and Vectatone.
This deal is described as a collateral consequence of the recent health joint venture between GSK and Novartis International AG, as in order to comply with European Legislation, GSK was made to part with this branch of business.
Perrigo Chairman, President and CEO Joseph C. Papa commented: "This acquisition demonstrates Perrigo's ability to execute on our 'Base Plus Plus Plus' strategy, in which we make selective, accretive transactions to expand our durable base business. We are building on the global platform we established with the Omega Pharma acquisition to capture an even greater share of the $30 billion European OTC market opportunity with several well-established, complementary brands that bolster our OTC product portfolio".

Much of central government expenditure on social protection for older people is through the payment of the state retirement pension. Nearly everyone of state pension age receives this pension, whatever their level of income. Some also receive income-related benefits such as Pension Credit and Council Tax Support. In Wakefield district, the proportion of people of state retirement age receiving Pension Credit is similar to the regional and England rates (see table below). The overall number of people claiming Pension Credit (? in ?) has fallen in recently years as the state retirement age for women has increased from 60 to 65.
Proportion of people aged 65 and over claiming Pension Credit. Source: ONS (nomis API)
The social care of older people may involve admissions for hospital care, home care service, or a move into residential care (possibly with nursing care). For older people that need hospital treatment, there is a focus to ensure that they are adequately supported at home during their convalescence. For the 3 months to 31 December 2016, 86.6% of older people were still at home 91 days after hospital discharge into reablement/rehabilitation services. This represents an improvement on the last published data for discharges in the period 1 October 2015 - 31 December 2015. At that time, the 81.9% of discharged older people were still at home after 91 days, similar to the England average (82.7%).
Transfers of Care
Minimising delayed transfers of care from hospital and enabling people to live independently at home is one of the key desired outcomes of social care. Measuring the length of any delays and the number of people affected indicates the effectiveness of the interfaces within the NHS, and between health and social care services. Wakefield is performing significantly better than the England average for the number of delays which are attributable to adult social care (see graph below). The overall measure of delayed transfers of care is also improving and in 2015/16 was similar to the England average.
Source: Adult Social Care Outcomes Framework
In 2016, 456 people aged 65 or over were permanently admitted to residential care with the help of the local authority (including self-funders). Over the last 20 years, however, although the older population has increased, the proportion who are living in residential care has decreased (see table below).

Seminar on 20.6.12. "I want to find all the blue books that are sad." "I want to read this Russian book in Chinese." "I don't want to read, just look at pictures." These are all important requests and expectations that come from children, ages 7-11. As our design partners in developing new technologies, children can offer bluntly honest views of their world. Children's input into the design and development process is critical, particularly as new technologies for children become commonplace in schools and homes. In our talk, we will discuss the process we have developed at the University of Maryland to support the co-design of new educational technology environments for children and with children. In particular, we will discuss the development process over 10 years for the International Children's Digital Library-www.childrenslibrary.org, the research areas this work has spawned, and where we are looking to the future.

Posted: May 21, 2019 7:28 AM
Posted By: CNN
Officers have caught the man who climbed up the side of the Eiffel Tower on Monday afternoon, triggering an evacuation of the famous structure.
He is now under police control, a Paris police spokesperson told CNN. His motivation for scaling the Paris landmark remains unclear.
Officials closed the tower and began evacuating visitors after the man was first spotted. The situation lasted just over seven hours before the climber's capture.
Pictures and videos of the individual climbing up the tower, which is 324 meters (1,062 feet) tall, have been circulating online.
"The Eiffel Tower has been closed and is in the process of being evacuated because a person is scaling it," a spokeswoman for the landmark said earlier in the day.
Irish tourist Claire Murphy, who is on vacation in Paris, told CNN that the lockdown began at 2:15 p.m. (8:15 a.m. ET) and that she had been stuck on the tower's top floor.
Almost 7 million people visit the Eiffel Tower every year. Completed in 1889, it was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel as part of a "Universal Exposition" marking the centenary of the French Revolution. It celebrated its 130th anniversary last week.
This isn't the first time someone has tried to scale the tower. Three people were spotted climbing the landmark in 2015. It was also evacuated twice in 2010 due to bomb threats, once in 2013 over security concerns and was closed for two days following the terror attacks in Paris in 2015.
In 2017, a protective glass wall measuring 65 millimeters (about 2.5 inches) thick and resistant to bullets was erected around the base of the tower to provide increased security.

Marketing is one of the most effective ways one can get a business rolling. When marketing meets Real Estate, the result is more fruitful. Real Estate Marketing can be done in the five best ways.
People generally tend to forget and accept that fact that there is nothing as great as marketing through the person in you. Remember, you are a brand for your products and services and buyers need to identify your name with the products and services that you have for the consumers or buyers. When you are marketing yourself, remember not to over promise. This is the biggest mistake real estate marketers do. Represent who you are with a touch of professionalism and knowledge on the domain. People will automatically start trusting you and the brand you have recently created. Being honest is the only way you will climb the ladder of success. If any day, you are caught being fake and misrepresenting, the day will not be far when people will start losing trust and the business you were planning to start shatters.
Get honest, get real and get presenting what you can offer in the best possible manner rather than representing a false story. Maintain your integrity in any situation and also the professionalism that people crave to see in the Master of Real Estate.
Rightly quoted by Douglas Thomas, "To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity".
This aspect of marketing has been touched upon by many of the Real Estate Gurus. If you have a good network, nothing can come your way. When you are networking, you are thinking about it in every interaction you have with people. It is through networking that people get to know each other and form groups of a common interest in various platforms.
Some of the places where you can network with people are clubs, office dinner parties, club houses, wedding, anniversary and much more. A good marketer is known for the networking skills and that differentiates the person from other marketers. What can work as icing on the cake is leaving a business card or official card with your company details and your personal details on it.
Trust me! Many people have been proved to have contacted people a few months after the last meeting and that closes in a deal. That's the impact one can have with a valued networking. It can also be termed as "metworking".
Online portals are getting quite popular with the growing demand of social media. Make yourself available on various social media platforms or professional platforms with common interest. Engage in various question answers that can make you and your business be visible to the rest of the world. You can try these options for a better online marketing.
Many people have taken to creating ads on social media. It is not complicated. Even you can do this.
You can choose Facebook ads or Instagram ads with a nominal charge for your purpose and choose your audience for the ad to be displayed.
You can also opt for Pay per Click ads. With any of the advertisement methods, ensure that you have a title and the first tag line that creates the best impact ever.
This is another important method of marketing where you have customized plans for a better running of your business. The respond initially can be disappointing but that's for the initial phase. Ensure to tweak with every step of the funnel. Keep a close track on the funnel you have designed. This way you will have a better perspective on what needs to be done and what can be avoided.
The name itself suggests that it is direct marketing. This process gets your product mails delivered to the person or company directly. Many do find it as an aggressive marketing stunt but don't worry as long as the purpose is heard and felt by the audience, you are doing it right. Your ultimate goal is to get more people reading it and act on it rather than react. Give an attractive title to the email and a subject line that's catchy. Don't you read an email that has a subject line that is luring? The same applies here. You can also send letters to the mailbox with a short note. Mailboxes are checked frequently and I am sure if you have a good note sent, people will respond.
The audience you send your mails to should be checked and listed first. You can't send it to a non-perspective target. Know your audiences well before you send direct mails.

Student Life and Transformation Launching New Volunteer Program
Home Student Life
Moncton – Crandall University is launching a new program to encourage and empower student volunteerism.
Starting this fall, students attending Crandall University will be able to take part in an all new volunteer program. Its primary aim is to connect students with service opportunities both on and off campus, but it is more than that; it is gearing up to become a key feature in a more holistic university experience.
Mobilizing students to serve
Called CU Serves, this new program focuses primarily on undergraduate students, but anyone on campus can participate. At its core, CU Serves is about connecting students with opportunities to serve, whether that be participating in on-campus programs like peer tutoring or chapel, or volunteering with local organizations, churches, and other community programs.
There will also be regular events on and off campus, as well as opportunities to take part in cross-cultural mission and humanitarian experiences.
Beyond the benefit to communities and organizations that depend on volunteers to operate, volunteering has real benefits to a person's wellbeing, which is what makes it invaluable as a part of an emerging adult's education and development. "At Crandall University, we are committed to a holistic education for our students, which is why I am thrilled about the rollout of CU Serves!" said Dale Stairs, Senior Director of Student Life and Transformation. "We see it as a whole new way to get students excited about volunteering, especially as many Crandall students are already key volunteers in churches, ministries and other non-profit organizations in the region."
In addition, volunteering has been a key feature of the Crandall experience since the beginning, more than 70 years ago: "Volunteerism is a highly valued component of the culture here at Crandall," said Jon Ohlhauser, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs. "We have always included volunteering in the community as part of our programs, and I believe CU Serves honours that heritage while engaging students in a new way and empowering them through new opportunities."
Students who take part will also have the opportunity to receive recognition for their efforts. By logging their volunteer activities with the Student Life and Transformation office, students are able to build a Co-Curricular Record, which can be incredibly helpful when pursuing careers after university. Moreover, students with a lot of volunteer experience and who maintain consistent grades may earn additional recognition in the form of Crandall Citizenship Awards, also being established as part of CU Serves.
CU Serves leadership
Rev. Tim Carruthers, Crandall's incoming Manager of CU Serves and Undergraduate Student Life
At the helm of CU Serves will be Rev. Tim Carruthers, who is joining the Student Life and Transformation team as the Manager of CU Serves and Undergraduate Student Life. A Crandall alum (Class of 2009), Tim also holds a MDiv from Acadia and has focused his career on engaging and coordinating emerging adults in service opportunities, both in his previous role as Operations Director at Green Hill Lake Camp, where he managed teams of staff and volunteers (including countless past, present and future Crandall students), and in leadership roles at youth- and young adult-focused events with the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada and other organizations.
"I am elated to welcome Tim Carruthers to the Crandall Team as Manager of CU Serves and Undergraduate Student Life and Transformation," said Dale Stairs. "Tim brings a wealth of experience working with young adults in a camp setting, and is a perfect fit to run the CU Serves program and to strengthen the Crandall experience for our undergrad students."
Sharing his thoughts on his involvement in this new initiative, Tim said, "I am very excited to be joining the CU family to serve in this way! I've long believed that Crandall has been exemplary in so many ways, and I cannot wait to help build connections within the CU family and the community. This will allow us to continue to showcase not just the academic excellence that Crandall has long prided itself on, but the heart that makes the university such a unique offering in a world that needs it more than ever before."
Tim will be starting at Crandall this summer, and CU Serves launches in September 2021.
