We hope you haven't been duped by the headlines about an imminent collapse. The economy as a whole is fine.
This claim may sound counter intuitive.
But hopefully by the end of this article we will have convinced you.
We'll look at three different charts.
If you don't already know, a REIT is a real estate investment trust — and the ones you find on the ASX are a securitised way of investing in real estate portfolios.
They give you a chance to reap some of the rewards that are bundled up with land ownership.
The REIT leases space, collects rent and pays a dividend.
REITs are basically rent collectors. It's handy to view the REITs from that angle.
Because movements in rent will reflect the health (or lack thereof), in the wider economy.
Improving rents can really only happen in an improving economy. And vice versa.
So, when you read the headlines out of the big outlets, you may get the impression that the economy is collapsing all around us.
But this is not what Australia's stock market is suggesting.
Let us show you what we mean with a look at the charts of three major REITs.
It's never had more than three months down since the low in 2009. Every low has been a higher low. It tells you demand for industrial space is improving. The economy is unlikely to collapse, whilst this is the case. Despite what you read to the contrary during all that time.
Goodman Group operates 384 warehouses, logistics facilities and business/office parks and has $39.6 billion external assets under management.
In addition to its Australian properties, it has a global portfolio with assets in Europe and the UK, Brazil, the US and China. So it gives you a sense of the global perspective as well.
Next up is Dexus Property Group [ASX:DXS].
Primarily involved with Australian commercial and industrial real estate, with a smattering of retail properties, Dexus directly owns $13.9 billion of office and industrial properties and has $15 billion of assets under management.
The chart for Dexus is similar to Goodman's. It's never made a lower monthly low for the last ten years. That's telling you the economy is improving and the rents along with it.
The final piece of the puzzle is Mirvac Group [ASX:MGR], which has significant capital in residential, particularly in apartments. Indeed, around 30% of its earnings are derived from apartment sales.
Operating only in Australia, and with $18 billion of assets currently under management, Mirvac was tipped to underperform by UBS in late January.
They maintained a 'sell' rating.
Again, same story as the first two. Has never made a lower monthly low in the last decade. It tells the economy is improving along with the rents. And as for residential real estate. It looks okay from this angle.
Learn to read a chart. It's a valuable skill to have. It will free you from all the nonsense you read.
See how broker ratings only misleads. The chart is giving you no reason to be selling there. None. It's a higher low on the monthly chart. It's trading against the trend.
And as we'll show, stocks trend for a reason.
All these REITs (and many others) have been trending up strongly all last year. The market has already priced in this news long ago! Hence the solid upswing into this year.
The headlines you read in the press is old news to the market.
Of late, there has been a lot of news suggesting we're headed for recession. That house prices and everything else is going to collapse all around us.
But his is not what Australia's stock market charts are suggesting.
Best of luck (you make your own actually).

Grevarna på Svansta är en svensk dramafilm från 1924 regisserad av Sigurd Wallén.

Handling
Greve Per Storm återvänder till barndomshemmet efter sina studier. Hans far är orolig över sonens läsintresse och moderna idéer och önskar att han skulle intressera sig för godset. Per umgås med Elina som är fosterdotter till godsets inspektor och enligt ryktet från resandefolket. I närheten bor baron Grane som har tre ogifta döttrar. Grane har ekonomiska problem och familjen vill utnyttja Pers ungkarlsstånd. Besvikelsen blir därför stor när Per inte visar något intresse för döttrarna.

Efter en tid attackerar Pers far Elina, hon faller i forsen och driver iväg. Per bevittnar det hela, slår ner sin far och kastar sig i vattnet för att rädda Elina. Hon försvinner dock, både far och son blir sjuka efter slagsmålet och simturen och fadern avlider. Per överlever, men blir psykiskt sjuk. Han vårdas av en av Granes döttrar, vilket leder till sympati mellan dem och planer på bröllop. Per hallucinerar om Elina som han tror vill hindra bröllopet. På bröllopsdagen tvärvänder han i kyrkporten inför den väntande bruden och gästerna när han ser Elinas spökgestalt.

Detta leder till att han blir mer galen, han barrikaderar sig på sitt rum och vägrar umgås med någon. Godset förfaller eftersom de underlydande utnyttjar situationen för egen vinning. Under en av hans fåtaliga utflykter träffar han en luffare som berättar att resandefolket slagit läger i närheten, Per beger sig dit och finner sin Elina.

Кинеска православна црква је аутономна црква под јурисдикцијом Руске православне цркве.

Настанак

Настала је 1956. године када је добила аутономни статус од Московске патријаршије.

КПЦ је преживела велики прогон током културне револуције шездесетих година у Кини и антирелигиозне политике њене комунистичке партије. У децембру 2004. године у Пекингу је у својој 80-ој години умро последњи кинески православни свештеник Александар Ду Лифу. Он није дочекао да добије решење од владе за отварање православне парохије у Пекингу, јер су власти тврдиле да за то нема довољно верника (око 300 људи).

У 21. веку православна црква у Кини доживљава свој препород. Велики број кинеских студената данас студирају на различитим богословским институтима у Русији. Према извештају свештеника Дионисија Поздњајева, који је одговоран за везе са Кином у ОВЦС Руске православне цркве, у Кини живи око 13.000 православних. Постоје и парохије без свештенства у Синкјангу и Унутрашњој Монголији, док руска православна црква у Харбину представља локалну знаменитост. Московска патријаршија жели званично признавање православне цркве, али главна препрека за то је мали број парохијана.

Историја

Кинеска православна црква је настала, истовремено са проширењем Руске Империје на Далеки исток преко Сибира 1651. године. Нешто раније, 1644. године, династију Минг су са престола збацили Манџури, који су довели на престо династију Ћинг, која је владала до 1911. године. Насеља руских козака у долини реке Амур у Албазину су била нападнута од стране кинеске армије 1685. године, што је резултовало падом Албазина, а заробљеници су пребачени у главни град Пекинг.

Део албазинских заробљеника је имао част да служи у једном од најпривилегованијих одреда одбране на двору цара Ханси у Пекингу. Њихово право на духовно руковођење је било признато, и због тога је у Пекинг послан (против своје воље) први православни свештеник отац Максим Леонтјев. Имигрантима је додељен стари будистички храм у североисточном делу главног града, и паства га је претворила у православну капелу посвећену светом Николају Чудотворцу, у част чудотворне иконе коју је отац Максим донео са собом.

Последњих 200 година пре Боксерског устанка 1900. године, број православних у Мисији се незнатно повећао, углавном захваљујући браковима са албазинцима и њиховим потомцима. То је био велики контраст у односу на активну мисионарску делатност католичке и протестантске Мисије.

Свети Митрофан је заједно са других двеста кинеских и албазинских мученика дао свој живот за хришћанску веру у време боксерског устанка, или ихетуанског покрета, како су га називали Кинези. Од тог времена па за наредних 200 година, албазинци су се само интегрисали у локално становништво, које се споља практично није нимало разликовало од Кинеза, иако су још увек сматрали да је њихово етничко порекло руско.

Број православног становништва у Кини се у 20. веку веома повећао, углавном захваљујући досељавању. Архимандрит Инокентије Фигуровски, који је 1902. године постао први епископ Пекинга, је започео превод православног катихизиса и литургијских текстова на говорни кинески језик гуанхуа. То време се сматра златним добом православља у Кини када је изграђено много храмова.

Већина Руса је напустила Кину када су 1949. године на власт дошли комунисти. Неки су се вратили у Русију, а многи други су емигрирали у Аустралију или Северну Америку. Познати Светитељ Јован Максимовић, бивши архиепископ Шангајски, је био један од последњих који је напустио земљу после доласка комуниста, и на крају се населио у Калифорнији.

У данашње време у Кини има неколико стотина верника албазинског или руског порекла, који себе сматрају православнима. Они углавном живе у великим градовима, као што су Пекинг, Шангај и Харбин. Многи други су се населили по западним и северним аутономним регионима – Синкјангу и Унутрашњој Монголији.

This week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) voted to create a rule requiring brokers to act in their clients' best interest.
If, after reading that sentence, you said, "But Chuck, didn't the Department of Labor (DOL) enact a similar rule in June of 2017?" you would be correct. Unfortunately, the DOL's rule, which applied only to retirement accounts, was recently struck down in a U.S. circuit court. While the DOL could appeal the ruling, it will probably wait and see what the SEC comes up with.
The new rule would apply to both non-retirement and retirement accounts (This makes sense. I never understood why the DOL rule was limited to retirement accounts).
Brokers would be required to disclose conflicts of interest such as bonuses or commissions received for selling certain products, but no specific conflicts of interest would actually be banned. For example, financial services companies could still use incentives such as sales contests (Why not get to the root of the problem and ban the incentives?).
Brokers and advisors would be required to produce a brochure outlining their legal duties and the fees they charge (I support full transparency, but this will end up being another confusing document that most consumers are unlikely to read).
Brokers would be barred from using the title "financial advisor" (I love this...and I'm pretty sure it won't make it into the final rule because the financial services industry will fight hard to kill this provision).
The SEC rule entered a 90-day public comment period, which you can read about here. If you feel strongly about this issue, I encourage you to post a comment. Unfortunately, I had to run multiple searches just to find the comment area. Frustrating!

Home » Frequently Asked Questions
Will an estate plan allow me to avoid the Montana probate process?
The general answer to this question is: Yes, it can, to an extent. When you devise assets through a Last Will and Testament or leave no will and make no other arrangements for your assets, Montana's default probate process kicks in. But many people would like to avoid the full probate process, given that involving a probate court and potentially a court-appointed executor can be time consuming and expensive. Since probate proceedings happen in court, probate can also be invasive—publicly airing details of assets a family might not be comfortable sharing.
Therefore, a central goal of estate planning can be to honor your wishes through other disposition tools. Some estate planning options include trusts; joint tenancy with right of survivorship; Payable-on-Death (POD) bank accounts; and Transfer-on-Death (TOD) securities and deeds. Exercising these options prevents named assets from going through probate and creates a mechanism for making sure an asset goes to whomever you intended. Even if your will must go through the probate process, however, for reasons such as having courts sort through family disputes, careful estate planning can make the process easier on all involved. Bjornson Jones Mungas will counsel you on your estate planning options and make sure it's done right.
What is the difference between a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust?
A revocable trust is an agreement made by an individual during his or her lifetime, naming a trustee and beneficiary. Trust assets must be moved to the trust with a change in title of ownership. The trustor has flexibility, though, and can amend or terminate the agreement at any time. A revocable trust does not protect trust assets from the trustor's creditors.
An irrevocable trust moves trust assets irrevocably into a trust, and the trustor cannot amend or terminate the agreement once made. Some irrevocable trusts are life insurance trusts and testamentary trusts. Irrevocable trust assets are protected from creditors in certain circumstances. Furthermore, a revocable trust can become an irrevocable trust when the trustor or joint trustor dies. At this point, the trust asset is protected from trustor creditors. Both revocable and irrevocable trusts have their uses, each depending on the goal you wish to achieve by establishing the trust. The skilled trusts attorneys of Bjornson Jones Mungas aid clients in choosing and establishing the right trusts for their financial and estate planning goals.
What tax credits are available for building low-income apartments in Montana?
The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), known in Montana as Montana Housing Tax Credit Program, provides a federal income tax credit meant to incentivize investment and development of affordable rental housing that qualifies under low income requirements. To qualify, in general, the property must be residential, it must satisfy and maintain minimum low income occupancy thresholds, it must maintain LIHTC affordability for a required period of time, and rent (including utilities costs) must not exceed LIHTC limits. These federal tax credits are awarded to developers of qualifying affordable apartments, and the developers are able to sell the tax credits to investors. This helps raise capital to fund the project. Investors can claim this credit, matching the invested amount dollar-for-dollar, every year over a period of 10 years.
The HOME Investment Partnership Program, although it is grant, not a tax credit, is directed by HUD and typically administered through the Montana Department of Commerce (MDOC). MDOC distributes the HOME grant to community housing development organizations (CHDOs), public housing authorities (PHAs), and local state governments (except Missoula, Billings, and Great Falls, which receive HOME funding from HUD directly). The HOME Program's goal is to create better opportunities to develop and expand the availability of affordable housing options for the low-income households. Each client's needs and goals are unique, and the attorneys of Bjornson Jones Munga can help developers craft a funding plan that takes advantage of LIHTC, HOME, and other incentives that poise each specific client for success.
What is title insurance and why do I need it?
For real property purchases in Montana and Washington—as in other states—most lenders will not finance the purchase without title insurance. So, most buyers, whether residential or commercial, have to obtain title insurance as a matter of course. But title insurance directly benefits the purchaser as well.
Title insurance protects both the purchaser and any mortgage holders from financial losses due to certain undisclosed rights or claims to the property. In practice, this means that your title insurance policy should reimburse you if a claimant appears after the purchase and is able to establish a right to the property—for instance, a full or partial right of ownership, a lien on the property, or an easement—that affects the value or marketability of the property. Importantly, even a thorough, pre-purchase title search may fail to reveal claims on real property. A good example is that unknown or undisclosed heirs of a prior owner may assert rights following the settlement of an estate. It is also possible that fraudulent documents, which nonetheless initially appeared legitimate during a title search, were filed on the property in the past. Finally, errors can, and do, occur during title searches simply due to the complexity of real property records. Because real property is such a central asset for both families and business, protecting your investment through title insurance is well worth the cost of the insurance policy.
Is there a standard shareholder agreement for closely-held Montana businesses?
Unlike mandatory documents like bylaws or articles of incorporation, shareholder agreements are not technically required by Montana law. But shareholder agreements can be very beneficial for small corporations, and often include a number of common features. For example, they can: specify what happens in the event of the death or retirement of a shareholder; create rights and obligations for buying and selling shares; and give shareholders rights to approve any new shareholders. Although shareholder agreements may have some content in common, each agreement is unique to the shareholders who form it.
Shareholder agreements can be particularly helpful for small and family-owned businesses because they clearly set out duties and rights - ideally avoiding confusion or disagreement among families and close business associates. They can also be coordinated with estate planning documents, allowing families to smoothly determine business succession in the event that a family-member shareholder becomes ill or dies.
Does my family owned Montana farm need a lawyer?
It goes without saying that Montana farm owners regularly face legal questions on a wide range of issues from land use and water rights, to loans and mortgages, to business and tax filings. The farm itself may be held by a family partnership or a corporation, and individual family members may consult lawyers about their rights and roles in the family-owned business.
Many families who own farms in Montana (and elsewhere) find it helpful and cost-effective to have a primary lawyer or law firm handle their regular legal and tax issues. The central benefit is this: your lawyer or law firm becomes familiar with your farm operation, your family, and the nature of your business, in order to efficiently advise you on a range of matters as they come up. Ideally, your lawyer will be experienced in each area of the law that commonly touches on your farm operation: business law, real estate law, tax and financial law and, particularly in the case of family farms, estate planning. Expertise in each of these areas allows your lawyer to coordinate your legal and financial needs as well as to jointly plan for the future of your farm and your family members. This kind of coordination should cut your costs for professional fees, give you peace of mind, and let you focus on why you're doing it all in the first place: farming and family.
What income taxes apply to a Montana business?
The degree to which a small business is subject to income tax in Montana depends on its legal business form. For instance, a true corporation is subject to double taxation—the corporation must pay corporate income tax (called "corporate license tax" in Montana) as a legal corporate entity and shareholders must pay personal income tax on distributed dividends. S corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships, on the other hand, are not subject to double taxation—income tax is "passed through" to shareholders, partners, or sole proprietors as personal income tax only. Limited liability companies (LLCs) can choose to be taxed either as a corporation or as a partnership, so the LLC's federal election determines how Montana will treat it. So for instance, if the LLC elects to be taxed as a partnership at the federal level, then it will be taxed as a partnership at the state level. Montana, unlike some other states, does not have a "franchise tax" or "privilege tax" just for doing business in the state. That means that unless you have a true corporation, the corporation as an entity will not be taxed.
Multistate businesses may be subject to additional taxes. If your business is formed in Montana, but you do business in another state as well, then you may be subject to that other state's taxes if there is a sufficient "nexus" connecting your business and that state. If your business was formed outside of Montana, but you do business in Montana as well, then you may be subject to Montana's income taxes if there is a sufficient nexus connecting your business and Montana. Contact Bjornson Jones Mungas to determine whether or not your out-of-state business dealings constitute a nexus sufficient to merit additional taxation. Careful tax planning is key to a successful business, and we are here to help.
What income taxes apply to a Washington business?
Washington has neither corporate nor personal income tax. Washington does have a business and occupation (B&O) tax. B&O taxes gross receipts using a flat rate corresponding to the type of business you are in and applies the rate against value of products, gross proceeds of sales, or gross income of a business. So while legal business form is key in states with income tax, what matters in Washington is not form but function, so to speak. Washington publishes a rate schedule for all the taxable classifications of business from retailing to radioactive waste disposal. A business will need to file monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on estimated tax liability. Some types of business activity are exempt from B&O taxes. If a business activity is taxable, then it must be registered with the Department of Revenue. Also know that there is a Small Business Tax Credit available for businesses with a B&O liability below a threshold amount.
Multistate businesses may be subject to additional taxes. If your business is formed in Washington, but you do business in another state as well, then you may be subject to that other state's taxes if there is a sufficient "nexus" connecting your business and that state. If your business was formed outside of Washington, but you do business in Washington as well, then even if you won't be paying any extra income taxes, you may be subject to Washington's B&O tax. Contact Bjornson Jones Mungas to determine whether or not your out-of-state business dealings constitute a nexus sufficient to merit additional taxation. Careful tax planning is key to a successful business, and we are here to help.
What is the difference between an S corporation and a C corporation?
Business, especially small businesses, should consider whether to incorporate as C versus S corporations. Businesses file with the state of incorporation, for example Montana or Washington, but they must meet federal IRS standards. The most important difference between C and S corporations is tax treatment. C corporations are double-taxed, paying once at the entity level and once on shareholder dividend income. S corporations, however, are taxed only once at the shareholder level because all income, losses, deductions, and credits pass through to the shareholders. Avoiding double taxation is a huge benefit, especially for small businesses.
In return for the tax benefit, however, S corporations must meet formation requirements that are stricter than those for C corporations. In general, S corporation requirements promote small businesses by limiting the type, kind, and number of eligible shareholders. Our experienced business attorneys will help you determine which type of corporate status offers works best for your goals.
What is a Family Limited Partnership (FLP) under Montana law?
A Family Limited Partnership (FLP) is a limited partnership made up of family members. The advantages of this kind of partnership are tax savings, asset protection, and asset control. FLPs allow general partners to transfer limited partnership interests to children, while still holding onto decision-making and distribution control over assets. Come tax time, transferred interests in an FLP count toward annual gift tax exclusions, so many transfers are not subject to gift tax. Further, since gifts of limited partnership exclude decision-making and control of the everyday running of the partnership, the value of these transfers may be eligible for discounts for tax purposes. Transfers of limited partnership interests also reduce the amount of the transferors' taxable estate upon death, helping heirs pay less in taxes on the remaining estate.
FLPs also protect assets from future creditors and claims from former family members (such as ex-spouses). Creditors cannot control or access assets without the general partners' consent, and the FLP agreement can require partnership interests to transfer back to the family in the event of divorce. In general, FLPs help families to build wealth and keep family businesses family controlled.
What effect does the JOBS Act have on Montana businesses raising capital?
The JOBS Act is a boon for investors and Montana businesses, including start-ups in the high tech and biotech sectors. Montana Sen. Jon Tester played a big role in the inclusion of many elements that will make it easier for Montana businesses to raise much needed capital. More capital means more growth, more development, and more jobs.
The JOBS Act raised the maximum yearly value of securities a company may offer while still benefitting from simplified regulations: the maximum is now $50 million, up from $5 million. In addition, private companies may have up to 2,000 investors, up from 500. This, combined with the change allowing general solicitation and advertising of some private stock offerings, helps raise significantly more capital for new companies. Before the JOBS Act, private companies publicly advertising to raise capital from investors outside of preexisting relationships was illegal, and only large public companies that could afford to be listed on stock exchanges could generally solicit for capital this way. Allowing general solicitation for private companies has the effect of democratizing raising capital in a way never before seen in our country, and this fuels start-up growth. The JOBS Act also addresses a very popular form of raising money, especially online: hello, "crowdfunding," you're here to stay. Via crowdfunding, private companies can now raise up to $1 million annually from an unlimited number of investors. Easing the restriction on general solicitation means that small businesses are freed up to use online solicitations, including crowdfunding, as a powerful, modern way to get off the ground.
It is important to know that businesses seeking to generally solicit must comply with restrictions and requirements such as filing with the SEC to let them know you intend to generally solicit, accept only accredited investors, and disclose details on your general solicitation within the first 15 days of the first solicitation. A business in violation of these requirements will be banned from fundraising for a full year, which can spell doom for a fledgling company. The Missoula-based attorneys of Bjornson Jones Mungas we understand the benefits and pitfalls start-ups face, and we are your best asset in maneuvering the JOBS Act to your benefit.
Why is disclosure important when small businesses raise capital?
Remember that the reason for disclosures is to enable investors to make decisions based on all the relevant information needed to assess risk and reward. All publicly owned companies must make detailed periodic disclosures on business operations and financial health to shareholders and the SEC. Private small businesses typically need not make detailed disclosures because the law assumes an investor knows enough about the private small business such that no additional protections are necessary. When a small business goes public, then it will be subject to the same disclosure rules as large publicly owned businesses. It's a fact that disclosures are tougher for small businesses to handle, so the SEC provides ways to balance the public's need for transparency against small businesses facing hardship in capital formation. For example, small issue exemptions, private placement exemptions, and less stringent filing parameters are some of the ways the SEC eases the burden of disclosure on qualifying small businesses.
To be on the safe side, small businesses should keep meticulous records and err on the side of accurate disclosure. Hashing out in court whether or not you needed to disclose more can be a headache. If a court finds your disclosures insufficient, you may be subject to rescission and other penalties. Not only that, but disclosing relevant financial information, even when the SEC does not absolutely require it, sows seeds of trust with your investors—that's priceless. Giving proper disclosures, as expected by both SEC and best business practices, is a murky area for entrepreneurs, but the attorneys of Bjornson Jones Mungas provide experienced, tailored advice for each unique client.
What is a Guaranteed Payment?
A guaranteed payment is a specific term in the Internal Revenue Code, which is defined as payments to a partner (in a partnership) or a member (in a limited liability company) in his or her partner or member capacity for services rendered to the partnership or limited liability without regard to the income of the entity.

I am guessing a new front sight and adding something back aways on the barrel to support the other end of the cleaning rod. Be my luck it can't be done but i think i'd like the look of it.
May be able but will need rpk front sight from what i heard today.
Just got a call with measurement of yugo rpk front sight block. Its a match.
Nice! You might also look for a different gas tube with a built in guide for the cleaning rod. I am sure a standard RPK GT would fit, but you would need to measure.
I might get lucky and be able to drill through the collar that came with ar style foregrip to support that end of the cleaning rod. s it turned out the yugo fsb had no bayonet lug so i am going to do some more research on the fsb before i do anything. I really like the look of cleaning rods on ak rifles so now its a must for my 54 even though ots a 20" barrel.
You might try picking up one of the Romanian RPK kits that are still around and cannibalizing that one. In any case, post a picture when you get it up, I wanna see how this thing comes out!
If the cleaning rod will stick to a magnet (not home or I'd know), you can get a strong little, rare earth magnet [neodymium?] and put a spot of JB Weld under current FSB and it should hold the rod pretty good. I did something similar where my bayonet lug was ground on side to make non-functional and I put a magnet next to lug, and hold the bayonet on great for display and shaking around.

[Watch]: 'Who is Seyi Shay?' Part 2 - Style, Embarrassing Moments, Musical Journey and Inspiration!
Now the beautiful Nigerian based singer talks about embarrassing moments (which I'm sure a few artists/performers can relate to), her style - which we absolutely love and how important it is for her to feel comfortable and confident when she's off stage. Radio/DJ pioneer DJ Edu even gives her an exclusive shout out when she went to visit him on BBC Radio 1Xtra during her trip to London earlier this year.
Speaking on the inspiration behind her music - Seyi Shay mentioned that she likes making people smile, feeling good, brave, invincible and that she's inspired by peoples emotions. Seyi Shay also talks about how God is the source of her strength and working with some of the biggest artists to date - including Beyoncé, Wale and many more.

Celebrities in The Sims 4 Get Famous Expansion Pack definitely have a…unique behavior in the game. Sure, their Celebrity Shine might be a bit too much but it's nothing that would affect your gameplay. However, the Celebrity Walkstyle that's introduced is for sure to annoy a lot of players considering that Sims who use it are about 50% slower than usual, which means getting to a desired location may take twice as much. This feature is only forced upon Sims who are Celebrity Level 4 and 5 so thankfully not every celebrity is going to get to enjoy this special treatment.
Luckily The Sims Team added additional options including the ability to disable both of these features if you wish to do so.
If you wish to disable the Celebrity Walk Style simply select on a Sim of your choice and select "Use Normal Walkstyle". The same thing can be accomplished for disabling the Fame Shine by selecting "Turn Off Fame Shine".
At the moment there isn't an option in the game that allows you to turn off these features globally. However, you have full control of enabling/disabling these features on Sims who are not even a part of your household. Is there a celebrity townie who's slow celebrity walkstyle is simply annoying you? You can just select that Sim and disable the walkstyle if you wish to do so.
The problem is that when you try to disable the "Celebrity Walkstyle" the sim turns it back on AUTONOMOUSLY and starts reacting in disgust to absolutely everything! If only it would stay off… but it doesn't! It's infuriating! I have stopped playing with my 5 stars celeb sims because of that. I hope they fix this.
I was just about to comment that. It's extremely annoying!!
This is the EXACT problem I'm having. I know where to switch the walk off, but after one action, my sim is back to waking ridiculously slow and it's so annoying. EA NEEDS TO FIX THIS PLEASE.
I don't see this as an option when I click on my Sim.
My sim is a 3 star celeb and still has the walk. I click on her and it has no option to disable walk. What do I do now?
I have the exact same problem. It's so annoying!
I found a fix! Press shift and click on the sim. Then level his/her fame up to a 4-star celeb. Then level it down again. And boom – you got yourself a normal walkstyle again.
Yes, this worked. It was driving me CRAZY!
I can't see the the walk style options..
Turn up to level 5 celeb and it gives you the option phew!


Most people look forward to buying and owning a car and when the time comes, they are often so excited that they do not take into consideration all the necessary factors before they make their purchase.
This can easily lead to them purchasing a car that doesn't have all the qualities they actually need and by that time, it is too late to reverse their decision.
Price: In the excitement of getting a car, some people go out with only a vague idea of how much they are willing to spend.
They assume that they will decide for sure when they see prospective cars. However, this could be quite dangerous as not setting an upper limit can lead to a person spending more than they would have if they had actually decided on their price.
Before you embark on purchasing a car, decide on what your absolute highest amount is for the car and stick to it as you go along.
Mileage: This only applies if you are not buying a new car but a used one.
If you are, one thing you need to consider is the millage of the car. Regardless of the other qualities of the car, if it has a very high mileage, it will not last for very long.
When visit a nearby car dealer such as Sandown Group to buy a used Mercedes Benz Salisbury, for example, be sure of the millage on the car and do not purchase a car that has a very high mileage.
Aesthetic: While a car should be very functional, it should also be beautiful looking and to your own taste.
This includes things like size, colour, and design. If you are uncomfortable driving large cars, you should make this known to the car dealer at the beginning of your search. If you prefer certain brands or car designs such as convertibles, you should make that known from the beginning as well.
Maintenance/ repairs: This applies to both new and used cars. When considering a car, take note of the fittings of the car.
If there are certain fittings that you are particular about, such as Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats, make sure they are available in the car you want to purchase as cars that were produced before a certain year might not have such features.
The fittings of the car also serve as an indication of how much maintenance the individual parts of the car will need. When choosing a car, many people only factor in the cost of purchase without considering the sometimes-monthly cost of maintenance.
Before you begin the process of buying a car, take the above factors into consideration and make them known to your car dealer before you begin your search.

Some power usage is being directed toward underutilized hardware, which is costing the organization too much to maintain. Many centers make the mistake of inefficiently deploying applications across their servers. Devoting one server per application will help it perform under optimal conditions, however, it will also cost a lot of money and the devices will take up rack space in the process. Virtualization will cut down on underutilization and allow the center to turn off idle equipment, saving money that can be devoted to other processes.
"People put applications on too much hardware because they don't understand the operational characteristics of the workloads or the hardware and want to leave some headroom," Forbes contributor Dan Woods wrote. "Of course, later on, when the application is understood, the headroom isn't removed, leaving a layer of fat in the data center."
Temperature monitoring is crucial to data center performance and energy usage. Experts have allowed up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit for the maximum recommended temperature, however, many centers tend to stay around 75 degrees. While cooling solutions can better control the environment, using outside air may help take some of the load off of these systems and keep servers active. Biztech Magazine warns against this practice, however, due to humidity, pollution and poor air quality potentially causing problems with the sensitive computing equipment. Data center operators must be able to ensure that they have appropriate methods to provide optimal conditions for the servers. Environmental control systems will help the facilities regulate the temperatures and monitor favorable humidity levels.
While it may seem old fashioned, forming a strategy for making data center processes more energy efficient and prioritizing actions will help centers successfully deploy their plan. Through this, employees can note what equipment is being underutilized, consider consolidation options, examine cooling practices and more while forming a cohesive layout to begin implementing changes, according to Buildings contributor Chris Loeffler. Including energy audits as part of the approach will help organizations determine the effectiveness of their efforts and work toward increasing their overall benefits.
"The good news is that even a small data center can save tens of thousands of dollars simply through wise choices in management practices, IT hardware, power and cooling infrastructure," Loeffler wrote. "For example, the three-year utility savings from an energy-efficient server can nearly equal the cost of the server itself."
Observing data center best practices will help organizations use power more effectively. This will generate significant cost savings and promote an overall more successful facility. Data centers will be able to better meet computing demands while also complying with new energy regulations.
