Shane Stranahan
On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discuss the Biden administration, including the US president's relationship with Saudi Arabia, the denial of his pick for OMB, Neera Tanden, and the current White House policies on immigration.
Chris Williamson – British politician | Reuters and BBC Leaks
Garland Nixon – Political analyst and co-host of the Critical Hour and Critical Hour Extended | Progressives aren't crying over Tanden | Is Biden breaking border promises?
Wyatt Reed – News analyst and producer for By Any Means Necessary | Bolivia: Añez refuses to testify
Peter Oliver – EU correspondent at RT| EU/Germany vaccine rollout
Continuing a conversation concerning the release of documents from Britain's FCO, former parliamentarian Chris Williamson gives his thoughts on media bias and propaganda in relation to Reuters, BBC and other media outlets.
It has been made clear that Biden's top pick for OMB, Neera Tanden, is not highly favored in the senate. Garland Nixon talks in detail with the Fault Line team on the reasons behind this boisterous house battle. The team also discusses Biden's border immigration policies.
The former president of Bolivia, Jeanine Añez, and members of her former cabinet are currently under investigation for economic damage in the form of a loan from the IMF worth over $340 million. Wyatt Reed, political analyst and producer of By Any Means Necessary, describes the ramifications of this loan and what it means for the Bolivian people.
The EU has been having issues distributing Covid-19 vaccines, especially in Germany where citizens have proclaimed that they do not think the vaccine is effective. EU correspondent Peter Oliver speaks on the outrage of German citizens over the lack of vaccines and the lack of trust in their effectiveness.

Nulon Smooth Shift Manual Gearbox and Diff Treatment (G70) with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) will help provide smoother, easier gear changes, especially when cold. G70 reduces noise and wear, and extends manual gearbox and diff life. G70 is compatible with all lubricants including synthetic gear oils and automatic transmission oils used in gearboxes.
Nulon Smooth Shift Manual Gearbox and Diff Treatment (G70) with PTFE offers maximum lubrication and anti-wear protection to the gear and bearing surfaces of all types of gears (helical, spur and worm drive). Nulon G70 combines a balanced blend of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with other extreme pressure and anti-corrosion compounds. Nulon G70 is suitable for use with all synchromesh rings and limited slip differentials.
The PTFE particles in Nulon G70 range from .4 to 40 microns. The smaller particles, when subjected to pressure and temperature, impregnate the friction surfaces thus reducing friction and offering residual lubrication and corrosion resistance even during lay-up periods. The larger PTFE particles circulate with the normal gear lubricant and create a cushion between gear surfaces, dramatically reducing gear pitting. This cushioning effect is important in that it reduces noise caused by minor irregularities of mating surfaces which are responsible for the very common "period noise" experienced in differentials.
Many modern gearboxes suffer from poor gear shifting when the gearbox is cold. As a result a number of manufacturers are recommending a lighter grade of oil, and in some cases automatic transmission fluid. These lighter grade oils provide superior gear changing at the expense of reduced life of gears and bearings, because the lower viscosity oil does not have the degree of EP (extreme pressure) protection. Nulon G70, due to its EP characteristics, will greatly improve protection as well as dramatically improve gear changes.
Note: G70 is suitable for all gearboxes including passenger cars, trucks and industrial gearboxes.
G70 is also compatible with, and suitable for use with, automatic transmission fluid and engine oils, where they are the manufacturer's recommended lubricant for manual gearboxes.
Simply add required amount of G70 (according to application rate chart) to the gearbox or differential.
Over 8 litres (8 quarts) oil - Add 500 ml (17 US fl oz) + 3% by volume thereafter.
Warning: Do not use G70 in automatic transmissions.
Note: Nulon G70 is suitable for use in Laycock overdrive units as used in MGs and Triumphs.
I have a 1994 Daihatsu Rocky with 230k Km on it. had a little diff and gear box noise added G70 and you would not believe the difference it made I can actually hear the motor now all the diff and gearbox noise has gone, gear changes are much smoothere now. Just a fantastic product. I also use the engine flush and the oil treatment, just for my peace of mind.
1 tube added to aging T5 = quieter + smoother shift. great stuff!
No, Nulon Smooth Shift Manual Gearbox and Diff Treatment does not replace the LSD additives that are found in dedicated LSD oils. Nulon G70 can be added to both conventional and LSD differentials to enhance lubricant performance and provide maximum anti-wear protection.

The Rad Trads (USA)
"With a killer driving groove, New York Soul Rebels "The Rad Trads" truly show how tight they are as an ensemble while having fun at the same time." – Paste Magazine
"When The Rad Trads formed in the Spring of 2012, they were meeting each other in New York City's East Village for the first time, looking to play with the best musicians they could find. Making rent playing 4 hour gigs in every bar and beer hall that would have them, the guys dominated New York City and Brooklyn with their punk-rock energy and showmanship, powerful horns, driving rhythm section, and four captivating lead vocalists.
Within due time, they decided to take their show on the road. Almost 5 years later, the Rad Trads have played on 4 Continents, headlining tours and opening for acts such as Tom Jones, Charles Bradley, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, The Lone Bellow, Con Brio, and Dustbowl Revival. They have toured Europe six times, the Middle East and played in 14 countries and 32 U.S. States. Following the release of their first full length album (Must We Call Them Rad Trads – Dala Records) in May 2016, the band is slated to release their second LP of original music in the fall of 2017.
The record is highly anticipated in it's creative direction and sound. Members of The Rad Trads have performed or recorded with St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Deer Tick, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Jon Batiste & Stay Human, Sarah Jarosz, Christopher Paul Stelling, David Duchovny, Lenny Pickett, and Red Baraat as well as leading their own critically acclaimed bands."


Many Livermore residents as well as cultural arts lovers throughout the valley are celebrating that the city and Alameda County have figured out a path forward to continue operating the Bankhead Theater.
The theater, operated by the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, has been burdened with a $22.3 million debt to the Bank of New York Mellon. The grand vision for the performing arts center was a dual theater complex with a 2,000-seat regional performing arts center serving as a magnet to downtown Livermore while local arts groups served their constituencies through the 500-seat Bankhead.
The regional theater went on life-support when the state Legislature, at Governor Jerry Brown's behest, wiped out redevelopment agencies. Redevelopment funds paid for the upgrade to downtown Livermore and were the lynchpin to financing the much larger regional theater that would envisioned to compete with arts facilities in San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco. The arts group sued the state, but lost the first round. It is unlikely that it will prevail in court.
In the meantime, the bank wanted payment on its note. The Bankhead has been a quality venue for local groups as well as the varied performance series that the LVPAC group produces. The deal has the city borrowing against its revenue from the settlement agreement from legal action against the Altamont landfill. Supervisor Scott Haggerty directed that revenue to the city instead of freeway improvements, which is the true impact of the 18-wheelers carrying trash to the dump. The dump fees are a steady revenue stream that will secure the note to pay off the bank. The city and the county will own the facility, but it will be operated by the arts non-profit.
The arts group, however, will still need to raise $4 million this year to cover its operating costs. Group President Linda Watkins said last month that they were almost halfway there with $1.6 million committed. She said that 32,127 residents attended events last year.
The theater is a genuine community asset and it's great that a way forward has been developed.
It should be noted, however, that Las Positas College has an equivalent facility—the Barbara Fracisco Mertes Performing Arts Center—and the leadership of the city effort and the college could not figure out how to cooperate and/or complement each other with facilities—taxpayers or garbage ratepayers are picking up the costs of both.
Maybe if they had went with a more local bank instead of sending the money across the country the bank would be more willing to work with them.
So glad to hear this! I pray that it will save such a a gem in the long run as well. I know that our family has enjoyed many of the quality shows and performances at the Bankhead since we moved to Livermore. Thanks!
Great idea: have the same group continue to mismanage the facility and keep booking attractions that only appeal to a limited audience. Brilliant!!


Bespoke Injury Management treats a wide range of injuries. The professional training a sports therapist recieves means they have knowledge specific to each sport and the needs of an athlete competing in such sports. This knowledge is applied to the injury and the rehabilitation making it specific to you.
The list below shows 'the injury by sport' shows common injuries for each sport. Not all injuries are caused by sport; however DIY, gardening, walking and other leisure and every day activities can sometimes prove just as likely to cause an injury. Bespoke injury managment also treats these injuries see our list below to the right, to get an idea of the injuries we treat.
Some of the injuries on the list can be chronic injuries if you have been suffering for a substanial period of time but its never too late to begin treatment.

It takes about 1 hour to get from the pilot station to the dock and that normally means that captains go for 1.5 hours before their official arrival time. One hour for the transit and 30 minutes up… read more of "27 February 2010;…"

2 Mode hybrids
Lou Ann HammondAugust 6, 20060 Comment260
A significant automotive industry milestone
The state-of-the-art full hybrid system, whose components are being co-developed by General Motors Corp., DaimlerChrysler and the BMW Group for production beginning next year, represents a significant automotive industry milestone due to the unique fully integrated combination of electric motors with a fixed-gear transmission.
As a result of it's low- and high-speed electric continuously variable transmission (ECVT) modes, the system called the 2-mode hybrid. The sophisticated fuel-saving system also incorporates four fixed gear ratios for high efficiency and power-handling capabilities in a broad variety of vehicle applications. During the two ECVT modes and four fixed gear operations, the hybrid system can use the electric motors for boosting and regenerative braking.
In summary, the four fixed gears overlay two ECVT modes for a total of six operating functions:- Input-split ECVT mode, or continuously variable Mode 1, operates from vehicle launch through the second fixed gear ratio.
– Compound-split ECVT mode, or continuously variable Mode 2, operates after the second fixed gear ratio.
– First fixed-gear ratio with both electric motors available to boost the internal combustion engine or capture and store energy from regenerative braking, deceleration, and coasting.
– Second fixed-gear ratio with one electric motor available for boost/braking,
– Third fixed-gear ratio with two electric motors available for boost/braking.
– Fourth fixed-gear ratio with one electric motor available for boost/braking.
The result is a trend-setting hybrid technology that provides superior fuel economy, performance, and load-carrying capability.
The full hybrid system being co-developed by General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, and the BMW Group has an overall mechanical content and size similar to a conventional automatic transmission, yet this full hybrid transmission can operate in infinitely variable gear ratios or one of the four fixed-gear ratios.
A sophisticated electronic control module continuously optimizes the entire hybrid powertrain system to select the most efficient operating point for the power level demanded by the driver.
When compared to conventional hybrid systems, this new hybrid technology, relying on both the ECVT modes and the four fixed gear ratios, provides advantages in combined (city and highway) fuel economy, dynamics, and towing capability.
Traditional hybrid systems have only one torque-splitting arrangement and no fixed mechanical ratios. These systems are often called "one-mode" hybrids. Due to their less intelligent automated content, one-mode hybrids need to transmit a significant amount of power through an electrical path that is 20 percent less efficient than a mechanical process. It requires usually substantial compromise in vehicle capability or reliance on larger electrical motors, which can create cost, weight and packaging issues.
General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and the BMW Group have conceived a full hybrid system featuring four fixed mechanical ratios, within the two ECVT modes, to reduce power transmission through the less efficient electrical path. Consequently, the electric motors are more compact and less dependent on engine size.
This combination of two ECVT modes and four fixed gear ratios eliminates the drawbacks of one-mode hybrid systems to allow for efficient operation throughout vehicles operating range, at low and high speeds. It also allows for application across a broader variety of vehicles. It is particularly beneficial in demanding applications that require larger engines, such as towing, hill climbing or carrying heavy loads.
Existing internal combustion engines can be used with relatively minimal alteration because the full hybrid system imposes no significant limitation on the size or type of engine. It enables the three global automakers to package internal combustion engines with the full hybrid transmissions more cost-effectively and offer the fuel-saving technology across a wider range of vehicles.
Initial applications are suitable for front-engine, rear- and four-wheel-drive vehicle architectures, but the full hybrid system has the flexibility to be used in a front-engine, front-wheel-drive design in the future as well.
Global Hybrid Cooperation
General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and the BMW Group have formed a cooperative effort called the Global Hybrid Cooperation, which is actively developing this next-generation hybrid powertrain system. In an alliance of equals, all three partners are pooling expertise and resources to jointly and efficiently develop hybrid technology. Each company will individually integrate the full hybrid system into the design and manufacturing of vehicles by their brand-specific requirements.
In Troy, Michigan, the "GM, DaimlerChrysler and BMW Hybrid Development Center" houses together engineers and specialists from all three companies to develop the complete hybrid system and the individual components — electric motors, high-performance electronics, wiring, energy management, and hybrid system control units. Also, the "GM, DaimlerChrysler and BMW Hybrid Development Center" will be responsible for system integration and project management.
A key factor in ensuring optimum development is the focus on a flexible system design scaled to the size, mass and performance needs of the various vehicle concepts and brands. The extensive sharing of components and the collaborative relationship with suppliers will enable the alliance partners to achieve economies of scale and associated cost advantages that will also benefit customers. Currently, full hybrid systems are under development for front- and rear-wheel-drive passenger cars, and light-duty truck and SUV applications.

Q: Expand a div to full screen I am using bootstrap 3 and jQuery. I have a div on my page right now that is 500 x 400 and it is sitting inside of a bootstrap row and col div. for example:

I want to use jQuery to tell this div to go full screen. When I click on my button to make it go full screen it seems to be locked inside of the bootstrap row and goes to 100% x 100% inside of the parent div. Is there anyway to tell #myDiv to eject from the parent that it is in and go full screen.
My css:
 #myDiv{
    z-index: 9999;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
 }

A: JQuery
$('#button').click(function(){
  $('#myDiv').css({"top":"0","bottom":"0","left":"0","right":"0"});
});

CSS
 #myDiv{
    z-index: 9999;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
 }

There is a little error in your css. Change the . to #.

A: See this demo fiddle
CSS
#myDiv.fullscreen{
    z-index: 9999;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
 }

#myDiv{background:#cc0000; width:500px; height:400px;}

HTML

           my div
          <button>Full Screen</button>

JS:
$('button').click(function(e){
    $('#myDiv').toggleClass('fullscreen');
});

The trick is in setting position:fixed, by toggling the .fullscreen class. This takes it outside of the normal dom tree, so to speak, and sizes/positions it relative to the window.

Before we get into the different products that we are having in online industry today i just wanted to start with what's RICH MEDIA ??
To be straight forward , the media whose contents or display are rich are rich media Ads. Also any Ad which is more advanced than a basic image Ad are rich media Ads.
The name rich itself signifies it's meaning !
All kind of Ads excluding image ad can be considered as rich media Ads , no matter it's an expandable , floating , pop up , etc.
We will be touring all kind of products that are there in online world , right from the basic to the advanced product that we have today..
Most common kind of Ad that you see are standard flash.It offers more advance and smoother animations , even sometimes with interactivity if required . The best part of the standard creatives are they give you the best possible creativity on the Ad with lesser size than other heavy creatives.The reasonable file size makes it commonly used.
These are the special kind of flash (generally) or HTML creatives.These have the behavior of expanding on clicking on the collapsed banner by the user.As the user clicks the collapsed creative , the size of the banner automatically changes to bigger of the collapsed one which is called as expanded unit , as the creative is enlarging or expanding ,hence called as expandable Ads.Expandable Ads are always user initiative , whether by clicking on it or just by hovering over the banner.E.g. 728×90 banner (collapsed) expands to 728×300 ( expanded ).
These Ads are the kind of expandable Ads , which expands on roll-over and not by clicking on it.The collapsed unit normally has the message saying "roll-over to know more" or "roll-over here" , etc.
These ads are the ones which hover over the content of a webpage. As you open any webpage , an ad appears in front of you as if it's floating and having no base.These kind of ads may disappear after some seconds automatically or by clicking on the close button on it.These are called floating only because they don't have any base .These ads are impossible to ignore as when it suddenly comes on the page it attracts the user attention automatically , but because of this feature only it is considered to be an annoying Ad too..
Example of a Floating Banner : ( Emblem Health Ad ) – The Ad doesn't have any base and will disappear in some seconds or if it has nay close button will go after closing the banner.
Interstitial means "in between" ! An interstitial ad is a kind of full-page ad that appears before the actual webpage.The Interstitial ads are a way of placing full page messages between the current and destination page.
These Ads always have "Skip the Ad" option , with that the countdown also goes on .If you don't click on the skip button , the Ad will automatically redirect you to the destination landing page .It's a forced kind of ad that is shown to the user anyway.
These kind of the Ads are the flash ads having video on it.You can play , resume and pause the ad.These ads require a good bandwidth which is generally possible at today's time.Video ads have increased in popularity a lot as it attracts user attention .
These ads comes under video advertising and are shown before the actual video starts. The short duration videos that are generally shown nowadays before the actual video starts are nothing but "pre roll" ads.To check for a live example you can watch video in you tube or hulu , you will come across pre rolls , it's very common these days.The users may hate these kind of advertisement but it's too beneficial for advertiser at present.
E.g. for your reference can see the below video , the OLAY video which is shown is a pre roll ad.
For your reference : The actual video to be seen is the song from 'Enrique" , but before the video starts we have a small video shown of a car which is nothing but a pre roll ad.
It's an another video advertisement popularly used.The Overlay Ad is a graphical ad in the bottom third of the video display that displays while the video plays.Like in pre roll the video used to come before the actual but in overlay the ad will appear while the actual video is playing.
For your reference , in the below shown image , under the yellow marked region is a overlay Ad.
The Ad is shown above the running video , on clicking the ad it will take you to its respective landing page . Overlay ad can also be a video ad , clicking on it will open a video above the running video, the current video will get paused till the short duration video is running ( i.e. overlay Ad ).
It is called Overlay as it is running over the current video ,These ads do have a close button generally, commonly used in you tube .
Overlay ads can be of .SWF, .JPG, .PNG, or Static .GIF format.
Sidekick ads can be considered as expandable ads , as when you click on the collapsed banner , the content of the page are pushed left to make room for an extra large unit which is a expanded unit(also called sidekick unit) of the ad to be shown.It is called as Sidekick as it kicks the content side wise showing the expanded Ad. Really cool, and a groundbreaking media first. The beauty of the sidekick banner is that the user doesn't need to move away from the site, so the publisher also benefits from retaining the user on their page.
It's a new concept served into standard placements.
For sidekick ads the sidekick unit should open only on user clicking and should always have a clear close button.
E.g : You can refer the link to get a practical approach of a sidekick ad. CLICK HERE !
High impact, high click-through ad unit.
The expanded unit will not auto-close after animation ends.
Clicking on any area of the collapse ad will expand the unit and play the animation once more.
Clicking the 'Collapse' button on the expanded unit allows viewers to stop the ad at any point of the animation and reverting it to its collapse form.
The image shown below is an example of push down ads , the collapsed image is the CLOSED unit and the expanded image is the OPEN unit which expanded and pushed the content of the webpage( http://www.usatoday.com/ ) down.
Floor ads are the one seen at the bottom most place of the webpage.These Ads sits at the bottom of the page, filling 100% of the browser width with interactive, Rich Media content.Whether a user scrolls the page or re sizes the browser window: the Floor Ad serves as a constant access point for users to engage with brands, i.e the ad is shown at bottom of the screen taking all the space horizontally , the ad keeps on moving down as the user scrolls down the webpage.As the user keeps the cursor on the ad for some seconds or clicks the ad , it expands having video content or some more interactivity.The Floor Ad, the can be closed by the user at any time.
Is always positioned at the bottom of the page.
Can have a fixed width or be set as wide as the browser window ("100% wide").
Always expands bottom up, either on mouse rollover or on click.
Close button is present at both collapsed and expanded unit.
Highly interactive and attention grabber ad.
Please watch the video also which shows an example of floor Ad of BMW.It's great !
It's an innovative new ad format from Microsoft Advertising.Basically filmstrips are the long thread of banners which users can scroll to see more , it's a nice storytelling concept ad with non-interruptive advertising.Filmstrip ad initially displays as a standard 300×600 unit, with buttons to scroll through a series of five sequential ads that provide a total creative canvas of 300×3000, clicking on the scroll-er , the next ad is open , similarly next on next giving some sequential messages to the users . It's a nice way to convey any message to the users , quite innovative and a great concept is filmstrip . "The IAB Filmstrip is a award winning in the IAB Rising Stars competition for new , brand-friendly ad formats".
Combines storytelling with non-interruptive advertising.
Size is always 300×600 plus five sequential ad , so (5 x (300×600)).
It can have different URLs for all five different panels(ad).
Generally user initiative always. You need to click to see next panels.
Clicking on the scroller (pink color area) will take you to next panel or ad , five is the maximum we can have on one filmstrip. clicking the scroller on 5th panel will again take you to 1st panel. It keeps on rotating giving users a sequential message.
These Ads developed by AOL which got approved by IAB last year February are always seen at the right side of the webpage using large ad space but divided into three panels and each panels can be used for different media like video , or animations or any applications , etc.It's a great attention-grabbing, engaging ad format .Due to it's bigger size and better interactivity options the user don't have to leave the page as advertiser can show up all kind of message through this ad itself . Generally the size of portrait ads are 300×1050 which can expand to 600×1050. The best part is every panel can also expand as per their respective base banner , i.e. the first panel expands differently , second differently and third too.Hearst was the first publisher to start selling this ad.
As per IAB , for now only Flash 9 is supported for portrait ads !
Strongly outperforms other options in the marketplace (300×250 & 300×600) both quantatively and qualitatively.
Portrait Ads attracts attention 35% faster than competiting units.
All three panels can have their respective expansion , 1st panel can expand by 613×460 while other two panels can expand by 405×303.
Please provide some information on below products.


The Google Analytics dashboard doesn't give you a lot of options. You click the "Add to Dashboard" button in a report and you get what you get: depending on the report, it might be a pie chart, or a graph of the metric over time, or the top 5 rows of the report. It's OK for a quick snapshot, but it's not very customizable. In fact, there are lots of third-party tools to build a better dashboard.
But the GA dashboard just might be better than you think. A few of us were sitting around the table at LunaMetrics yesterday and the topic came up, and we made a few observations of how useful the dashboard can be.
You already know you can navigate to any of the reports and add them to your Dashboard, rearrange them, and get rid of the ones you don't want.
But did you realize that if you filter the report (using the containing/excluding filter at the bottom of a report, or the Advanced Filter), when you add that report to the Dashboard, that filter is saved? For example, if I filter the Keywords report to exclude "luna" (to show just our non-branded keywords) and then add the report to the Dashboard, I see just the non-branded keywords.
This means, for example, that you can have multiple Top Content reports in your Dashboard, each filtered for different sets of pages. Or multiple Keywords reports, each filtered for different keywords.
The not-so-nice part is, the label of the report doesn't say anything about that, just "Keywords" for all of them. See #4 below for a trick to help in this department.
If my business is selling widgets in a storefront in Schenectady, I probably don't need the world map from the Map Overlay report on my Dashboard.
But fortunately, I can drill down at whatever level I like — continent, country, state, city — and add the drilled down report to the dashboard.
This works for any report: drill down to a specific traffic source, a specific page, whatever you like.
The really nice thing about #1 and #2 is not just that you get the report on the Dashboard. It's that "View Report" link at the bottom of the widget, which takes you directly to the report. It's a good way of saving reports you go back to over and over. Instead of taking 5 clicks to navigate there and apply a filter or drill down, you get there in 1 click straight from the Dashboard.
Using a Custom Report allows you to change the name of the report so that instead of seeing "Top Content" for multiple reports, you could see "Articles by Tim", "Articles by Tom", etc.
By simply recreating the report you are interested in as a Custom Report, you can name it whatever you want. For example, you could create a Custom Report named "Articles by Tim", filter that report to only show Tim's articles, then add it to the Dashboard. Then create another Custom Report (which may well be exactly the same except for the name and filter) named "Articles by Tom", filter that report to only show Tom's articles, and add that to the Dashboard as well.
What you end up with is a much easier to read Dashboard report. The titles are much more descriptive and easier to identify.
Advanced Segments are great for looking at just the audience that you're interested in, and especially useful because you can use them across almost all the reports in Google Analytics to see just that audience. But if I want a summary of information, I might be stuck applying that Advanced segment and compiling data from several different reports.
You can also apply Advanced Segments from the Dashboard to see a quick view of all the reports segmented at once. This can make getting the picture of what your segment is doing that much quicker and easier.
Instead of maintaining emails for multiple reports (even with the "Add to Existing" feature, this can sometimes be a pain), you can also just choose to email the Dashboard report, and you get an attachment with data from all the reports you've added to the Dashboard. Now, if you want to add a report to your scheduled email, just add it to the Dashboard and you're done.

Congratulations, Gilda Zaragoza for being named finalist for NAHB Young Professional Award!
On Behalf of the National Association of Home Builders, we would like to recognize Gilda Zaragoza as a finalist for Region E of the 2018 NAHB Young Professional Award! It is truly an honor to be acknowledged as one of the home building industry's leaders!
On behalf of NAHB's Young Professional Committee, we are immensely proud to recognize leaders like Gilda as members of our federation. We highly value their time, careers and dedication to the home building industry. This award was designed to acknowledge that hard work, success, performance, dedication, and outstanding potential all nominees portray as they continue to serve as young leaders in the industry.
We would be honored for you to join us during the NAHB Young Professional Committee meeting during the 2019 International Builders Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. We will be recognizing all finalists and awarding winners for each region during the meeting on Monday, February 18, 2019 from 6:00 – 7:00pm. Please RSVP at: buildersshow.com/ticketonly.
The following text was included in Gilda's nomination, and you can clearly see why this recognition was so well deserved!
Gilda Zaragoza became interested in the Real Estate industry in 2007 while working in finance in New York City. After graduating from NYU, Gilda pursued a career in finance. She was able to secure a prestigious summer internship at Goldman Sachs. After graduating, she started her first full time job at BlackRock, Inc as an Analyst in the Account Management Group Servicing International Institutional Clients. Gilda's time at BlackRock strengthened her knowledge of financials and different investment types. While at BlackRock, Gilda was exposed to their Real Estate arm and became more and more interested in this specific industry. She loved the idea of working with tangible assets that you could be truly passionate about. She moved back home to Colorado and worked in hotel management but always with Real Estate as her end goal. For two years, she managed two hotels to position them for a strong sale. While managing the sale of the second hotel, Gilda enrolled in the Real Estate & Construction Management program at the University of Denver. Gilda earned her Master's degree in from DU in 2012. While finishing her degree, she found her first project, the scrape of an existing home to re-purpose as a duplex home in Englewood, Colorado. After a detailed financial and market analysis, she realized it was a project with almost guaranteed success and embarked on it… since then, she hasn't looked back! She continued with developing single family attached homes in Englewood, always with her signature clean, modern design and quality finishings at the forefront to much success. In 2015, she decided to become a licensed Real Estate agent to give her the ability to be more aggressive with land acquisition and to represent the sale of her home projects herself. This opened up a completely different facet of Real Estate for her. In 2018, she launched a boutique realty to accompany her development business and rebranded to Invalesco Real Estate. She is in the process of expanding her team and is bringing on Real Estate Advisors that are active investors, flippers, or smaller developers like herself. Presently, she is also working on her first detached single-family luxury homes, University Homes. University Homes is a unique 4 home community for which she had to establish an HOA. The homes are luxury, modern gabled homes that truly embrace interior/exterior living. After the sale of these homes, Gilda would like to pursue a 10 – 20 row home Project or 30-40 apartment unit building build-out.
Gilda was a founding board member of the Young Leaders Council at the Denver Metro Homebuilders Association. The YLC was launched in 2017 and Gilda served as the Communications Chair for the YLC that year. In 2019, Gilda will become part of the Executive Board for the YLC, serving as Treasurer. Gilda has been active in helping organize and establish a solid direction for the council, as it grows and becomes more established. Gilda is also an active member of the Denver Metro Homebuilders Association, regularly attending events and helping connect other members. Her company has sponsored a couple of educational events that will help serve the builder community learn about energy efficiency. This fall, Gilda is a judge for the Custom and Remodeling Excellence Awards, Colorado's largest and longest running award competition honoring the best architects, custom builders, interior designers, landscape designers, remodelers and industry partners.
Gilda launched the Realty side of her business to cater to both real estate agents and investors, builders and developers. The inspiration behind the boutique brokerage is bringing together a group of like-minded agents, all active investors, remodelers or smaller developers themselves… looking for a place not only to hang their license, but a place where they can find resources catered to their specific needs and where they can collaborate and share ideas. There is no other such brokerage currently in the Colorado market. In turn, this knowledgeable team, all with construction expertise is uniquely positioned to serve the builder community… builders or developers who need assistance with land acquisition or have spec homes to sell. Our company is innovative in that we have the expertise to serve the builder community. We are equipping our team with education, such as the NAHB's Certified New Home Sales Professional certification, and the right knowledge to serve this community with the expertise they deserve.
Gilda launched a company whose backbone is collaboration. One of our mantras is "We believe that sharing is power and that we are stronger together". She is leading the way by mentoring others and not hesitating in sharing her knowledge. She is helping lift others up and through each individual she helps, she gains more knowledge and experience herself. She is building a company where this culture is at the core and is forming the core team with similar traits.
Gilda is married to a Pakistani man and they take their kids to visit his family every 2 years. These trips have further opened her eyes as to how blessed they are to have what they have, both materially and even just the everyday freedoms that they enjoy in this country. She is very passionate about education. Gilda believes that a good education combined with hard work can provide anyone the ticket to achieve whatever they can envision for themselves. Gilda is passionate about helping impoverished young kids, especially girls, get the opportunities they deserve. Currently, she is sponsoring 3 kids school expenses in her husband's village. It is her wish to continue sponsoring these kids through their higher education to really allow them to soar. Their longer-term goal is to open a school in the village for this population, as the poorest families in Pakistan are not able to afford sending their kids even to public schools. Gilda hopes that through the success of her business, she will be able to accomplish that.
Gilda earned her Bachelor of Arts in Individualized Study from New York University with a focus on Economics & Romance Languages. She then went on to work in Finance at BlackRock for a couple of years. Through BlackRock's Real Estate arm, she was able to catch a glimpse of the Real Estate industry and quickly fell in love. She returned to Colorado and worked in Hotel Management, mostly assisting in divesting of 2 hotels over a couple of years' time. Concurrently, she enrolled in the University of Denver's Burns School of Real Estate to earn her Master of Sciences in Real Estate and Construction Management. Upon graduating, she was finally able to pursue Real Estate full time. She gained her Certified New Home Sales Professional designation through the local HBA Chapter to further assist her in selling her home projects.
Gilda grew up in Mexico in the border town of Juarez, Chihuahua. She commuted to Texas for school on a daily basis. She also had the privilege of travelling often as a child while growing up. Perhaps, this is what now allows her to be comfortable in almost any setting.
She is a proud mom of two, a devoted wife, a business woman, a leader and an adventurer. She enjoys skiing, scuba diving and travelling as far and as often as possible. She has a love for learning new languages and is fluent in Spanish, English and conversational in French and Italian. She has dabbled in Russian, Arabic and Urdu. She also loves learning about new cultures. Gilda absolutely loves what she does and enjoys her varied days: from working with architects, being on the field with her GC, networking at the HBA, helping others trying to start off their first project to forming the brand for her brokerage. Gilda will continue to grow and, hopefully, make a difference in the industry here in Colorado by being more inclusive and thoughtful.

Japan widens virus state of emergency after record spike during Olympics
Emergency measures already in place in Tokyo will be extended until the end of August, after the Olympics and well into the Paralympics, which start on August 24
AP Reporters
Japan has expanded the coronavirus state of emergency in Tokyo to neighbouring areas and the western city of Osaka following a record surge in infections while the capital hosts the Olympics.
The country's prime minister Yoshihide Suga declared an emergency in Saitama, Kanagawa and Chiba, near Tokyo, as well as in the western city of Osaka, effective from Monday until August 31.
Emergency measures already in place in Tokyo will be extended until the end of August, after the Olympics and well into the Paralympics, which start on August 24.
The upsurge in cases in Tokyo, despite more than two weeks of emergency measures, is raising doubts that they can effectively slow infections.
Five other areas, including Hokkaido, Kyoto, Hyogo and Fukuoka, will be placed under less stringent emergency restrictions.
Tokyo has reported a record rise in cases for three days in a row, including 3,865 on Thursday, before logging a further 3,300 on Friday.
The cases have doubled since last week, although officials say the surge is unrelated to the Olympics.
Officials said 2,995 were taken to hospital, about half the current capacity of 6,000 beds, with some hospitals already full.
More than 10,000 others were isolating at home or designated hotels, with nearly 5,600 waiting at home while health centres decide where they will be treated.
Tokyo is also setting up a facility for those requiring oxygen while waiting for hospital beds.
"Infections are expanding in the Tokyo and western metropolitan areas at an enormous speed that we have never experienced before," Mr Suga said, as he declared the expansion of the state of emergency.
If the spike continued at the current pace with the spread of the more contagious Delta variant, Japan's medical system could collapse, he said.
At a meeting of government experts, health minister Norihisa Tamura said the spike in Tokyo despite being under the state of emergency for two weeks is an "alarming development that is different from anything we have seen before".
Nationwide, Japan reported 10,687 confirmed cases on Thursday, exceeding 10,000 for the first time. It has recorded 15,166 fatalities from Covid-19, including 2,288 in Tokyo, since the pandemic began.
Japan has kept its cases and deaths lower than many other countries, but its seven-day rolling average is growing and now stands at 28 per 100,000 people nationwide and 88 per 100,000 in Tokyo, according to the health ministry.
This compares to 18.5 in the United States, 48 in the UK and 2.8 in India, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
The emergency measures focus on an alcohol ban at restaurants and karaoke bars and their shortened hours, but they have become less effective because people are only requested to stay and work from home.
Many were defying the measures as they have become tired of restrictive life and less cooperative even at a time when the more infectious Delta strain is spreading.
Mr Suga said his key strategy, targeting dining, would remain largely unchanged. He said subsides would be paid faster to business owners who co-operated, and local authorities would patrol "to increase the effectiveness of the measures".
Meanwhile, earlier on Friday, Tokyo governor Yuriko Koike told a news conference: "We need to come up with measures that are effective."
Noting that adults in their 30s or younger dominate recent cases, Ms Koike reminded them of following basic anti-virus measures including mask-wearing and avoiding having parties, urging them to "share the sense of crisis".
As of Thursday, 27% of the Japanese population has been fully vaccinated. The percentage of the elderly who are fully vaccinated is 71.5%.
