I think when music tries to be intellectual, it takes away from itself musically. Intellect and music don't really mix. Lyrics can be intellectual, but even there I'm not so sure - I guess it depends on your definition of 'intellectual'.

Prezactly. BUT; I think if you're a natural thinkin' feller, your music is going to reflect that no matter if it's a smooth pop hit or banging two pans together. Witness: Daniel Johnston. He had pop musical genius in bucketloads when the mood hit him (if a bit err... roughshod), and it's easy to tell from his lyrics that he gave them a think or two before penning them down. Also, early punk-turned-something-else bands like Husker Du and Firehose had plenty of acumen to go around, and sounded downright sweet when they put it in gear.
One of the big problems I have with the "Alternative" scene especially beginning around the '90's is that the word itself was in reverse, a negative. Supposedly people wanted "Alternatives to crap" ... but what if the alternative to "overpolished stadium rock crap" is ... "semi-melodic uncrafted crap"?
-TaoPhoenix (June 05, 2014, 09:24 AM)
Nailed it. Except you may forget that the '90s also had the major labels in a feeding frenzy for the stuff, and so along with the contract came the professional studio and (heaven forbid) a real producer that smoothed a lot of edges and made for more listenable stuff, IMHO, even as the bands themselves lost some street cred because of it. Yes, there was a lot of crap, but a lot of gems too. The trouble was the gems needed polishing.
I took the music program Audacity and chopped up "What does the Fox Say?" and re-spliced the verses minus the raucous chorus and wound up with something that is surprisingly listenable.
I found the song "surprisingly listenable" all the way through. The point of the whole song was that it was a parody of pop music. Take the stupidest topic you can think of, dippy noises and all, and craft it into an ultimately listenable, danceable, viable POP song, because that seems to be exactly what the voices on the radio are doing. I think they nailed it.
That's pretty much how the best band I was ever in worked. We had somebody (the lead singer) who was very creative and original - but totally clueless. He was our wild-card factor. The rest of us would take his good ideas and chord progressions (he had made up his own chord shapes - which he played badly) and turn them into workable songs. We used to call it "the process" - or "assaying." It was a good symbiosis. A neat (occasionally brilliant) idea he lacked the knowledge to do something with got turned into a complete song. And we got that oddball riff or idea we might not have come up with ourselves since we knew better. It was a workable arrangement.
-40hz (June 05, 2014, 01:37 PM)
Cool story, and reminds me A LOT of the dynamic (as told by other band members) between Syd Barrett and his compatriots in Pink Floyd.
One of my quiet little hobbies is taking a song that feels "promising" but not quite right for me, and doing about one to three easy mods to it, such as chopping out an annoying part, then fiddling with the tempo and pitch. I end up with "my song". No once else has to agree with the result, though I'm sure seven people in the world would. Because once the song is given to me, I get to share in the experience. I get the artist's vision, but then their control leaves.
-TaoPhoenix (June 05, 2014, 02:40 PM)
Congratulations, you're a "re-mix artist". Seriously, there are some folks making careers out of the stuff. If you come up with anything that really tickles, let us hear it.
Go Chris!
Dude, Chris Squire's bass sound was what sold me on Rickenbackers back in the day. Not that I could actually afford one, and I never really like their looks, but 'Roundabout' was the first song I remember actually noticing the bass sound on. Nowadays, I know enough to know it wasn't just the Rick, but... damn.
Also, I think Elvis Costello has had a corner market on 'smart pop' for a while now. I know he's not 'modern' anymore, but you gotta admit the guy has some pretty smooth tricks in his sleeves.

In my case it was Greg Lake and a Gibson L9S Ripper. (Couldn't afford one of those either - but I bought one anyway in 73!)
What modern music (today) is considered to be both pop AND intellectual? What modern music (today) is considered to be both pop AND intellectual?
I really like the Ric sound too. (Even if I'm not wild about the build quality or workmanship as this repair guy's vid discusses.) But funny thing...it's the only iconic bass of that era I've never had in my collection.
If I ever did get a Ric, I'd hold out for a 4005 hollowbody. And since they're now going for $10k on average in playable condition, I think I can safely say I'll never own one. Especially since Guild has reissued their Starfire Bass which provides a very similar sound and vibe (plus a much better neck) for around a grand.

Three more additions for intelligent pop: Cat Stevens, Nillson, and Harry Chapin.
And add in some intelligent pop ladies: Loreena McKinnet, Kate Bush, Chrissy Hynde, and Margie Adam. (@SB -check Margie out here.)
Nilsson!! I've always considered him a "fifth Beatle". Incredible vocal range and brilliant songwriter.

Heh not really, it's more like "with an audience of one you can't fail". I just smashed out versions to loop during work just to help me concentrate. Basically my tastes run towards speed and tempo down from the originals, so I can't tell what would be any runaway hit.
A better way to do that is to make a new thread of people wanting to do that to songs and we can trade notes.
I also have to say I don't have any attention to the fine crafting, so it's more like a musical version of a pencil sketch.
But per my point, parody or no, "W-D-F-S" has some three or four melodic themes in the verses and bridges, so it's a little bit like "if your parody is too perfect, it becomes the thing." Certainly lyrics like "The secret of the Fox, and ancient mystery..." isn't any less valid than "real song" lyrics of hundreds of staple songs we can all come up with!
Sometimes you can "back into" a great singer from a cover. Nilsson's re-arrangement of "Without You" is one I first learned about through an Air Supply cover. ("Semi-RIP" Russell Hitchcock. Back as a youngster when I used to follow this stuff intently, I think he got ill or something because he lost about half an octave on his range in about two years and this was the last song he could nail his signature tenor.)
The Air Supply version:

Which led me to the Nillson version:

For Nillson I still think he reached his creative apogee with The Point. Great little tale. I loved his illustrations, and the music was marvellous. Especially the songs: Polli High (vintage Nillson that one!) Are You Sleeping and the Point of View Waltz. I particularly like the opening line in the P.O.V. Waltz:
And suddenly
The strangest things are happening...
I hope it's not the last time
Not a bad philosophy IMO.
Last I looked, somebody had the full animation up on YouTube. (This one with Ringo Starr. God knows why. The original with Dustin Hoffman as the father and narrator was far better IMO.) Might want to watch or grab it while you can.

Since I'm on a Nillson jag, also check out his album Pandemonium Shadow Show. I'm impressed at how well this holds up considering RCA Studios penchant for overproduction and cathedral-esque reverb on vocal mixes back in that era.
I personally think his cover of the Beatles She's Leaving Home and his interpretation of Without Her are easily as good as the originals. Not a small feat when it comes to a Beatles song. And on the original front 1941 and Sleep Late, My Lady Friend are spot on brilliant despite the over the top production.
Lyrics for 1941
Well, in 1941 a happy father had a son
And by 1944, father walks right out the door
And in '45 the mom and son were still alive
But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive
Well, the years were passing quickly but not fast enough for him
So he close his eyes through '55 then he opened them up again
When he looked around he saw a clown and the clown seemed very gay
And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away
Well, he followed every railroad track and every highway sign
And he had a girl in each new town and the towns he left behind
And the open road was the only road he knew
But the color of his dreams were slowly turning into blue
The he met a girl, the kind of girl he wanted all his life
She was soft and kind and good to him so he took her for his wife
And they got a house not far from town and in a little while
The girl had seen the doctor and she came home with a smile
Now in 1961 a happy father had a son
And by 1964 the father walks right out the door
And in '65 the mom and son were still around
But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?
Pandemonium Shadow Show was the first product of Nilsson's three-year, $50,000 recording contract with RCA Records, and was recorded in their Hollywood studio. Unlike virtually all his earlier records, Show employed the full potential of Nilsson's voice in the recording studio, turning him into what was described as a "chorus of ninety-eight voices". The album debuted to little public attention in the US and England, although it was an immediate hit in Canada, where "You Can't Do That" was a top 10 hit. Beatles publicist Derek Taylor heard "1941" on his car radio waiting for his wife at the supermarket and, enjoying the track, ordered a case of copies, sending them out to various industry people he believed would be interested including The Beatles, who later invited Nilsson to London and helped further his career -

That's why we turned them into rules - sort of a crutch for the creativity impaired.
-Vurbal (June 05, 2014, 11:37 AM)
FWIW I think some "rules" are actually liberating. And creativity by itself is vastly over-hyped in my opinion. A musical idea is cheap. Most of us can crank out a dozen or more on demand. Finding one that's worth doing something with, and knowing how to do something with it, is an altogether different thing. Therein lies (to me) the difference between creativity and art. Creativity is just the raw material - not the finished piece. Or the process leading to it. You need both. But music isn't just about being creative.
I suspect you and I are using different definitions for "creativity" and "rules."
Perhaps it's simpler if I explain in terms of writing rather than music; simpler because music really has one set of rules for the masses and another for musicians. At any rate, when it comes to writing I can't really keep up with language rules because I do everything based on my internal "ear." My oldest daughter is the same way, as are my other kids to one degree or another.
I've always told them not to sweat proper grammar except when the rules say they have to. Otherwise, I say, "the rules are for people who can't hear the music." For the most part things like not ending a sentence with a preposition or beginning a paragraph with a main sentence are just what makes the most sense.
However language, much like music, is infinitely malleable. It has rhythm, melodies, harmonies, and almost everything music does except (when written) you can only hear it in your head. When I write it's almost a stream of consciousness based on how I "hear" things in my head. As it turns out, prepositions at the end of a sentence are often the best way to make a point clearly and concisely. Also supporting sentences leading up to a main point typically makes your argument more cogent and convincing.
In terms of music, there are the rules for the masses of children in classrooms around the world, but also rules musicians adopt for themselves based on their musical training and experience. I think of those less as rules and more like an imperfect, but hopefully expansive and ever expanding, understanding of the common experience of music the same way people create their own rules for basic interpersonal communication. In the musician's case, that understanding is heavily tempered by the people he plays with. While I do tend to view my own experiences as rules of a sort, it's the same way I view my writing style. They aren't the rules, just my rules for myself... in particular situations... except when they aren't.
I was referring to the more basic and general rules though.
I learned to say the pledge of allegiance
Before they beat me bloody down at the station
They haven't got a word out of me since
I got a billion years probation
- The MC5
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of ''crackpot'' than the stigma of conformity.
- Thomas J. Watson, Sr
It's not rocket surgery.
I recommend reading through my Bio before responding to any of my posts. It could save both of us a lot of time and frustration.
All I can say is listen to the song Coconut (as in Put the lime in the...) and it's hard not to call Nilsson a genius. In lesser (even very capable) hands that song would be a steaming pile of excrement. In his hands it's a thing of beauty.
When speaking of "rules" or "inspiration" and the dynamic between the two it's important to define terms. And it's something I don't think I can do with any hope for accuracy. It's another one of those "a hundred of things need to be said all together" things for me. Possibly because I'm too far into it, and it's become so embedded in my thought process, I no longer have much hope of being able to still experience or understand music from the perspective of a non-musician. I've "passed into The West," so to speak.
However...
Bobby McFerrin refers to what I'm calling "rules" by the term "expectations" - which I think may be much closer to what passes for "rules" than a "rule rule" would. At least in music.
So Mr. McFerrin? If you would be so kind:

You may thoroughly enjoy the Mitsubishi Mirage or the KIA Soul if you're looking for a uniquely designed vehicle in the compact or sub-compact categories. Both models are in the top 20 in their class, according to U.S. News information. The critics and users have given both of these popular models positive ratings, so it would be wise for you to look for the upcoming information and then schedule a test-drive of the best option at Carriage Mitsubishi.
The Mitsubishi Mirage car is one of the most affordable models in its class. You can own one of these vehicles for a little over $13,000. It can fit a variety of budgets from the struggling college student, to the fixed-income older adult. What's amazing about it is that it still has an array of features and benefits. In fact, it has so many that the price is sometimes unbelievable. The Soul is an inexpensive model, too. The base model starts at about $26,200. You can, of course, get deals and discounts from the dealership depending on when you visit to make your purchase. You can also end up with a slightly lower price for the model if you buy one that someone has slightly used. The salesperson will work with you so that you get a deal that fits your budget perfectly. After that, you can meet with the finance department so that they can take your information and help you get an amazing financing and repayment plan, as well.
The Mitsubishi Mirage is an excellent choice if you're searching for a car with great performance and fuel efficiency numbers that can truly help you save money. The ES model comes with a strong 1.2-Liter motor that puts out about 78 horsepower. The fuel efficiency that it gets is very high. You can get 37 miles per gallon in the city and 43 miles per gallon on the highway out of it. The gas mileage goes way beyond many models in its class. The Soul comes with a pretty impressive option itself. Its 1.6-Liter motor gives a few more horses than the other model does, but its fuel efficiency is lower, as well. You can get about 24 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway from this model. The choice is yours. Select the model that offers the most of what you're looking for. If you're looking for fuel efficiency, then the Mirage is your option.
Safety is a priority for both manufacturers, so you'll experience a high level of safety features no matter which option you choose. The Mirage offers options such as Rearview Camera, Active Stability Control and six Standard Airbags. Active Stability control will help you keep control of the wheel during your journey. The airbag system will offer you comfort in the face of an emergency. The Soul has features such as Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Dual Front Seat-Mounted Airbags. Both vehicles have a wealth of features that will keep you safe and sound during your journey. Either selection will be a wise one on your part.
You won't fully know how amazing the Mirage is until you take on a test-drive at Carriage Mitsubishi. Just call the dealership or complete a short form to request a drive so that you can see all the wonderful features that the model possesses and then start the process of obtaining ownership.


These little guys are hilarious. As much as I love watching the insanely stylish moves you all bring along to the camp 😉 , getting a solid foundation down will help you no end when it comes to pulling off those crazy aerial moves later on. Watch and learn my friends….
I'm currently rocking the T-Rex..need to work on this apparently.


Earlier this week, the U.S. House of Representatives approved S. 245, the Indian Tribal Energy Development and Self-Determination Act Amendments of 2017 (the Bill), which is designed to allow Native American tribes to take greater control over energy development on their lands and to reduce the amount of governmental red tape.
The Bill, which was passed by the Senate in November 2017, directs the Department of Interior to provide tribes with technical assistance in planning their energy resource development programs. Further, the Bill expands the Department of Energy's Indian energy education planning and management assistance program to make intertribal organizations eligible for grants and to allow grants to be used to increase the capacity of tribes to manage energy development and energy efficiency programs.
On November 26, 2018 at 12:00 PM ET, the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) Program begins accepting applications. The initial SMART application period ends at 11:59 PM ET on Friday, November 30, 2018. During this initial 5 business day period, all applications received will be treated has having been submitted at the same time for the purposes of placing the projects in a Capacity Block. For projects generating 25 kW AC or less, the projects will be placed in the order that the contract was executed. Projects generating more than 25 kW AC will be placed in Capacity Blocks in the order that their Interconnection Services Agreement was executed. All applications received on or after 12:00 AM ET December 1, 2018, will be reviewed and placed into Capacity Blocks on a first-come, first-served basis.
California's Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 700 into law on September 27, 2018, extending the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) for an additional five years.
As previously discussed in our blog post here, SGIP extends the current January 1, 2021 expiration date until January 1, 2026, and provides rebates for the installation of energy storage systems and certain eligible technologies including wind turbines, pressure reduction turbines, fuel cells, waste heat capture and combined heat and power, internal combustion engines, microturbines and gas turbines (although the bill provides that after January 1, 2020, nonrenewable generation technologies will not be eligible for rebates under the SGIP). 75% of total rebates under the program are designated for energy storage technologies.
Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 100 into law on Monday, setting in place a 100% renewable electricity target for California by 2045.
The law, which we discussed in our prior blog post here, calls for a state-wide renewable energy target of 60% by 2030, with an interim target of 50% by the end of 2026 and a final 100% target by 2045. At the signing ceremony, Brown also announced an executive order directing California to achieve carbon neutrality, meaning it would remove as much carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it emits, also by 2045. The order, which could be rescinded by a future governor after Brown terms out in 2019, instructs the California Air Resources Board to develop a framework for reaching carbon neutrality.
The law will take effect in January, and California will then join Hawaii as the only two states that have pledged to eliminate fossil fuels from their electric grids by 2045.


With the increase in Web site encryption (TLS), spying passwords from network activity has become difficult. However, it is still possible to quietly exfiltrate a target's network traffic in real time to extract passwords and sensitive information. In terms of macOS, there are two ways to get traffic from a back-doctor Mac.
The first method requires Empire, a post-exploitation framework. Empire can be embedded in a MacBook with a USB Rubber Ducky during a single-user mode attack or by social engineering the target to execute a malicious command. The Empire module sniffer makes capturing and filtering data traffic easy.
Method 2 does not require post-exploitation frameworks and is much more discrete. This technique may be desirable for users trying to bypass antivirus detection because some empire modules are marked as malicious. From a primitive Netcat backdoor, Tcpdump (preinstalled on macOS) can be used to capture network traffic and extract the data using a Netcat tunnel. This technique is considered "life outside the country" and could be favored by readers who try to remain completely undetected on the device.
After Setup an Empire Backdoor and When you create a listener for receiving connections from the compromised MacBook, enter the command usemodule to activate the Sniffer module.
This module performs a complete network stack capture.
Agent True V9DGUVIL Agent to run from.
MaxPackets True 100 Max. Define packages to capture.
(Do not enable OutputExtension for this).
Empire will capture packets and save them to the Mac OS device file named "debug.pcap" in the / tmp / directory. Use the following command to change the directory. Note that creating files on the compromised device can be dangerous for reasons I will explain later in option 2.
Finally, execute to sniff traffic on the backdoored macOS device to start.
After a few seconds Empire will automatically exfiltrate the PCAP (packet capture) into your Kali system and save a new PCAP file with the snooped traffic into your empire directory.
[*] Agent V9DGUVIL returned results.
Navigate to / path / to / Empire / downloads / / sniffer / to find the PCAP if Empire is running locally. Alternatively, when Empire runs on a VPS, its directories can be synchronized with a local computer using Syncthing, a secure file-sharing software.
As mentioned before Tcpdump, a command line network traffic analyzer, is preinstalled in MacOS devices. Unlike Empire, Tcpdump is configured to immediately send (exfiltrate) the data to the attacker's computer. With this method, the attacker does not need to create (suspect) PCAP files anywhere on the target device. Creating files on the compromised device can be dangerous and warn the victim of our presence.
Before we can capture and exfiltrate the traffic discovered by the macOS device, we need to set up a Listening service to receive the incoming data. To achieve this, we use Netcat in Kali.
Netcat will wait for incoming connections on port ( -l ) ( -p ) 7777 . The port number is here arbitrary and can be arbitrary. Netcat will then pipel the packets into tee which will write the data to a local file on the attacker's system.
Now use the following command from a backdoor to capture the traffic and send it to the attacker's Netcat listener.
Both Netcat terminals must remain open to continue collecting, sending, and receiving data. The -w in this command is required for tcpdump to output data in a pipable format and effectively send the data through the netcat tunnel. Other tcpdump arguments and filters can be used before data is sent through the pipe, but -w must always be present.
The "Got 665" in the above terminal indicates how many packets to the attacker system. This number increases as the victim continues to use the Internet.
To stop packet exfiltration (without losing the Netcat backdoor), press Ctrl-C in the attacker's Netcat terminal. The captured data can be analyzed for sensitive information using the Tshark and Wireshark which I will show in my next article. And that's it for capturing and exfiltration of network activity from MacOS devices.

1940: NY TIMES REVEALS WHY HITLER INVADED BELGIUM / NETHERLANDS
1940: WHY DID HITLER INVADE BELGIUM & HOLLAND?
Eight months have passed since the Allied powers of Britain & France had declared war against Germany for its justified invasion of Poland. The Allies have ignored Hitler's numerous pleas for peace while amassing their armies in Northern France, close to France's border with Belgium. Other than low-scale British and German maneuvers in Norway and Denmark, the great bloodbath known as World War II has not yet begun and can still be avoided.
The tiny states of Belgium and The Netherlands / Holland (both members of the Globalist League of Nations) claim to be "neutral." In reality, under the pressure and influence of mighty England & France (also members of the League of Nations) the two mini-states have been assisting the Allies in their preparation for an attack upon Germany - which had quit the League of Nations in 1933. On May 10, 1940, Hitler orders the invasion of the Low Countries.
Britain, France, Holland and Belgium were all members of the Globalist League of Nations. Germany took the fight to them in self-defense.
The hysterical headlines of the West's major newspapers rush to condemn Germany's aggression, and today's history books portray the event as ultimate evidence that Hitler had been lying all along about not wanting to fight a war with the Western powers. Lost in the history books is the fact that Germany believed that it had no choice but to invade because Belgium and Holland were plotting with the Allies, while claiming to be neutral.
Even amidst its anti-German hysteria, The New York Times, in an effort to appear "objective", did indeed publish "Germany's side of the story", in the form of statements issued by German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. It is an account that you will neither find in contemporary history books, nor hear on a TV crockumentary.
During better times, Hitler (left) and von Ribbentrop (right) enjoy a good laugh.
Even if, for the sake of argument, we were to reject Germany's claim as being a false propaganda pretext for war, a la 'Weapons of Mass Destruction', the question remains: why do the 'court-historians' continue to conceal such serious allegations from us? Why are we not given all of the data so that we can make up our own minds? What are they so afraid of? The truth?
In the belief that "there are two sides to every story", we are posting abridged reproductions of the May 10 and May 11 Times articles containing the von Ribbentrop allegations. A few bits of highlighted analysis are also included. The full originals can be viewed by copy-paste-enlarging the article images.
As you can see, press accounts from New York's two major Jewish-owned newspapers of May 10, 1940 were heavily slanted against the "Nazis":
But a de-emphasized article from that same Times' issue did present a different version of events -- an 'inconvenient' version that has long since 'disappeared' from history.

Von Ribbentrop Charges Allies Plotted With the Lowlands
By George Axelsson
Wireless to the New York Times
***IMAGES & HIGH-LIGHTED COMMENTS ADDED***
BERLIN, Friday, May 10 - Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop at 9 o'clock this morning announced that Reich forces had launched military operations Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to "protect their neutrality".
Earlier it was reported that German troops had occupied Maastricht, the Netherlands, and had "landed" contingents in Brussels, probably meaning parachute troops.
Herr von Ribbentrop said that Germany had received unimpeachable proof that the Allies were engineering an imminent attack through the Lowlands into the German Ruhr district wherefore the Germans felt compelled to take corresponding measures. (In January 1923, France and Belgium invaded the Ruhr, a vital industrial area of German bordering their own countries. The region is full of factories and coalmines. After the German currency had collapsed, the French and Belgians stole the Ruhr's resources in lieu of unpaid World War I reparations.)
He said the time had come for settling the final account with the "Franco-British leaders."
"France and Britain dropped their mask." said Herr von Ribbentrop. "The alarm in the Mediterranean was a feint behind which the Allies were preparing an onslaught on German territory which the Reich could not tolerate."
The notes handed to The Hague and Brussels simultaneously with a shorter note to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg just prior to their invasion by Germany accused the Lowlands with having been overwhelmingly partial toward the Allies, adding that the attitude of the press was objectionable to the Reich.
A memorandum similar in tone to that handed to Denmark and Norway last month stated:
"In the life-and-death struggle thrust upon the German people, the government does not intend to await an attack by Britain and France inactively allowing the war to be carried through Belgium and Holland onto German soil. The government, therefore, has issued orders to safeguard the neutrality of the two countries with all the military means of the Reich."

NAZIS SAY ALLIES PLANNED TO ATTACK
Continued from Page One
Holland Also Accused
The second point of the memorandum charges that Holland, in conjunction with certain Belgian circles, lent herself to support attempts by the British Secret Service to bring about a revolution in Germany. An organization allegedly was built up by the Secret Service on Belgian and Netherland soil enjoying the "fullest support" of the Netherland and Belgian authorities including members of the general staff. The "plot" was aimed at the removal of Chancellor Hitler and the setting up of a government in Germany ready to work for the destruction of the unity of the Reich and agreeable to the formation of a powerless federation of individual German States. (Just like today's pathetic attempts at a 'Color Revolution' aimed at weakening Putin in Russia).
Copying the argument of the April 9 memorandum to Denmark and Norway, today's documents says the government did not desire and did not bring about the development but that the responsibility rested entirely with France and Britain. (The Germans had been forced to occupy parts of Norway and Denmark in order to thwart the British from setting up anti-German operations in those countries. Google: Operation Wilfred and Plan R4.)
The next day, buried inside of the paper, the Times published von Ribbentrop's full statement.
Von Ribbentrop's Statement on the Invasion of the Low Countries
BERLIN, May 10 - Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop called foreign correspondents to offices this morning and read them a memorandum which explained the reasons why Germany invaded the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.lock this morning announced that Reich forces had launched military operations Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.
Von Ribbentrop Reads Paper
The German government has directed a memorandum to the Royal Belgian and Royal Netherlands governments in which the Reich government asserts that it is in possession of evidence and news which carries incontrovertible proof that an Anglo-French attack on Germany is immediately imminent and that this attack will take place against the Ruhr over Belgium and the Netherlands.
Images below added - French and Belgian troops invaded the industrial Ruhr in a 1923 shakedown operation. A new invasion of the Ruhr would be the most logical place to deliver a painful blow to German industry.
Therefore, the command has been given German troops to insure the neutrality of these countries with all the Reich's military means of power.
The Reich government sets forth therein that it is reliably informed that England and France, in pursuit of their policy of extension of the war, decided in the near future to attack over Belgium and Holland. (Remember, it was Britain and France who declared war on Germany)
The German government has long been aware of the major British-French war policy. It consists of extension of the war to other lands and the misuse of their people as auxiliary mercenary troops of England and France.
The last attempt in this direction was the attempt to occupy Scandinavia with Norway's assistance in order here to create a new front against Germany. Only though Germany's intervention at the last moment was this intention nullified. Germany has produced documentary evidence, therefore, before the world public.
As the Reich government already has long known the true aim of England and France, prepared carefully for an impending attack against Germany in the West over Belgian and Netherlands territory to the Ruhr territory. Germany has recognized and respected the integrity of Belgium and the Netherlands and naturally has provided that these two countries shall preserve the strict neutrality in case of war between Germany and England.
Belgium and the Netherlands have not fulfilled this condition They have, indeed, sought so far to preserve the outward appearance of neutrality, but in reality both countries have completely and one-sidedly favored Germany's enemy and have made clear their intentions.
... the measures of the Royal Belgian and Royal Netherlands Governments in the military sphere speak even clearer language and they give an irrefutable proof of the true intention of the Belgian and Netherlands policy.
The Netherlands coastal territory constituted an equally open and unsecured gate for British aircraft. The Reich government in repeated communications had drawn the Royal Netherlands Government's attention to a violation of Netherlands' neutrality by English planes. Since the outbreak of the war British fliers practically daily have been coming from the Netherlands and have appeared over German terrotory.
There were 127 cases of such flying over Holland by England which have been confirmed definitively and in all details, and the Rotal Netherlands Government has been notified of them. In reality, however, their number is much greater, amounting to many times, than cases in which the Netherlands has been notified. (Neither the Netherlands nor the 'court-historians' have ever denied that these pre-bombing surveillance flights were allowed to take place over "neutral" air-space.)
Sixthly, still crasser proof of the true Belgian and Netherlands attitude, however, is the deployment of mobilized Belgian and Netherlands troops, directed exclusively against Germany. While at the beginning of September, 1939, Belgium and the Netherlands divided their troops on their frontiers comparatively evenly - but paralleled to to intensified cooperation between Belgium and the Netherlands General Staffs and England and France - sometime later on the western frontiers these countries were completely denuded of troops and the entire Belgian and Netherlands troops were concentrated on the eastern frontiers of both countries confronting Germany.
Seventhly, this massing of Belgian and Netherlands troops on the German frontier occurred at a time when Germany had concentrated no troops at all on its frontiers facing Belgium and the Netherlands and while England and France on the contrary had gathered strong motorized offensive armies on the Belgian-French frontier.
The Netherlands undertook their measures at a time when they were expressing their neutrality and while England and France were massing their troops.
Eighthly, documents in the possession of the German Government prove that the preparations made by Britain and France on Belgian and Netherlands territory for the attack on Germany had already reached an advanced stage. Thus, some considerable time ago all obstacles on the Franco-Belgian frontier which might have impeded the advance of the Anglo-French forces were secretly removed.
Designs on Ruhr Valley Alleged
Airdromes in Belgium and Holland were inspected by British and French officers and improvements duly carried out. Means of transport were stationed in readiness on the frontier by Belgium and recently advanced staff and troop units of the British and French armies arrived in various places in Belgium and Holland.
These facts as well as additional reports which have become more frequent in the last few days, are undeniable proof that the Anglo-French attack on Germany is imminent and that this attack on the Ruhr (valley) will take place through Belgium and Holland.
Calls Policy Deceptive
If, despite this, Belgium and the Netherlands still persist in making a pretense of policy of independence and neutrality, this cannot, in the light of these indubitable facts, be regarded as anything but an attempt at deception as to the real intention of Belgian and Netherlands policy.
In view of this state of affairs, the German government can no longer doubt that Belgium and the Netherlands have determined not only to tolerate the impending Anglo-French stroke, but to support it in every direction, and that the agreements reached between the general staffs of the two countries and those of Britain and France can only serve this purpose.
In the struggle for life and death thrust upon the German people by Britain and France the German Government does not intend to await an attack by France and allow the war to be carried through Belgium and Holland into German soil. (Would America allow enemy armies from Asia to amass near the Mexican border?)
German soldiers are not entering Holland and Belgium as enemies. (Indeed, many Dutch & Belgian men would later volunteer to fight alongside the Germans in the Waffen SS - photos below added)
The German Government further declares that Germany does not intend by these measures to attack the integrity of the Kingdom of Belgium and of the Kingdom of the Netherlands or their possessions, or their property in Europe, or in their colonies, either now or in the future. (German troops behaved impeccably during their 4-year stay in the Low Countries, even saving their artworks from Allied bombardment (so-called 'Nazi looted art"). Ironically, it was the Globalists who would later strip Belgium and Holland of their colonial possessions.) The Belgian and Netherlands Governments today still have it in their power to safeguard the welfare of their peoples at the last moment by ensuring that no resistance will be offered to the German troops.
Later that same year, von Ribbentrop's Foreign Office published a 50-page English version paper detailing its allegations.
Allied intrigue in the Low Countries further documents concerning the Anglo-French policy of extending the war.

THE MURDER OF VON RIBBENTROP
Soon after the rigged Nuremberg trials had ended, on October 16, 1946, Joachim von Ribbentrop was hanged. When he was escorted up the steps of the gallows and asked if he had any final words, he said: "God protect Germany. God have mercy on my soul. My final wish is that Germany should recover her unity and that, for the sake of peace, there should be understanding between East and West. I wish peace to the world."
Nuremberg Prison Commandant Burton C. Andrus later recalled that, immediately before the hood was placed over his head, Ribbentrop turned to the prison's Lutheran chaplain and whispered, "I'll see you again." Members of the US Army cremated Ribbentrop's remains and scattered them in an unmarked location.
A REAL holocaust (burnt offering)
The noble and capable statesman was hanged and then cremated.
You will NEVER hear the REAL story of World War II from this commie-creep, Ken Burns, or his co-conspirator Lynn Novick. But Mike King & 'Sugar's 'The Bad War' will give it to you straight!

What is the Process Free (or Processless) Plate and What to Consider When Switching?
What is a SpectroDensitometer?
CIE ΔE* (Color Difference) Equations
Pictured above is a combination handheld spectrophotometer and densitometer, the SpectroDens 4. The intent of using deltaE (ΔE) is to describe the distance between two colors. The Just Noticeable Difference (JND) of deltaE is usually 1. In other words, if two colors have a deltaE less than 1 it is imperceptible and larger than 1 is perceivable. Unfortunately, due to the nature of human color perception (our eyes), the visual perception of colors is different. In general, our eyes are more sensitive to changes in Chroma than lightness. That means, the same deltaE between two yellows and two greens will very likely look different in our eyes. With that in mind, newer deltaE equations have been developed over the years and below is a list of 4 major formulas we might encounter in the color reproduction field.
ΔEab (aka. ΔE76, dEab or dE76) The CIEL*a*b* and ΔEab was introduced by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976. Given two colors in the CIEL*a*b* color space, (L1, a1, b1) and (L2, a2, b2), the ΔEab formula is defined as: dEab equation from http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorDifferenceCalc.html Where, L1 – the CIE L* value of reference color a1 – the CIE a* value of reference color b1 – the CIE b* value of reference color L2 – the CIE L* value of sample color a2 – the CIE a* value of sample color b2 – the CIE b* value of sample colorThe ΔEab has been succeeded by other formulas that are discussed below, while it still bears useful information about the linear distance between two colors.
ΔECMC(aka. dECMC, CMC l:c) The CIE is not the only party that defined color differencing equations. The Colour Measurement Committee of the Society of Dyers and Colourists (CMC) defined a new color difference method in 1984, named after the developing committee, CMC l:c. dECMC equation from http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorDifferenceCalc.htmlThis equation takes the complexity of human color sensitivity/perception into consideration based on CIEL*C*h* – notation of colors. There are a few variations in the formula since it allows the user to assign different weights to its lightness (l) and chroma (c) factors. The CMC l:c was developed based on the visual evaluation of textile samples and human vision sensitivity levels in the lightness (l) and the chrome (c), the default ratio of l: c is 2:1, which doubles the tolerance of variation for lightness then that for chroma. The other common ratio of l:c is 1:1. Please consult with your supplier/buyer on which ratio to use if CMC l:c is selected for your production. Different ratios will result in varying sizes of tolerance ellipses, in other words, acceptability of color match.
ΔE94 (aka. dE94)> In 1995, the CIE revised the formula by introducing ΔE94 to address the color non-linearity nature under ΔEab. Like CMC l:c method, ΔE94 also uses CIEL*C*h* for calculating color differences. dE94 equation from http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorDifferenceCalc.htmlThe ΔE94 formula provides two coefficients, k and S, which are mostly based on tolerance data from RIT/Dupont from automotive paint research. The k-coefficients are known as parametric factors and refer to effects including color-difference judgement. The S-coefficients account for CIEL*a*b*'s lack of visual uniformity (Billmeyer, 2000). Most of the time, those two types of coefficients are pre-selected by the software developer based on either textile or graphic arts industry users. While, due to the limitation of the ΔE94 that lacking accuracy in the blue-violet region of the color space, which eventually leads to the release of ΔE2000 (Habekost, 2013).
ΔE2000 (aka. ΔE00, dE2000, CIEDE2000 or dE00) The ΔE2000 was first proposed by CIE TC1-47 in CIE Publ.142 in 2001 and standardized in 2013. You might find an old ISO white paper or IDEAlliance G7 Specification that still use ΔEab as the dominant color difference formula along with ΔE2000 for information purposes only. Since 2013, both ISO and IDEAlliance has adopted ΔE2000 as the new industry standard for calculating color differences. dECMC equation from http://www.brucelindbloom.com/index.html?ColorDifferenceCalc.html
It is obvious that the ΔE2000 is much more complex than the ΔEab. In summary, the ΔE2000 introduced weight functions: SL, SC, SH, RT and a'(Neutral), as positional corrections to the lack of uniformity of CIELAB, also parametric factors: KL, KC and KH as corrections accounting for the influence of experimental viewing conditions (D65, 1000 lx, background gray with L*=50, etc.). There are numerous studies indicating that ΔE2000 is superior than other color differencing formulas: "Currently, we have no candidate color space (e.g. DIN99, CAM02, OSAGP , etc.) providing statistically significant improvement upon CIEDE2000." (CIE TC 1-55, 2016) "From the experiments carried out in the various years it becomes clear that ΔE2000 corresponds better with the way human observers perceive small color difference." (Martin, 2013) "The CIEDE2000 formula may not be the final word with respect to a colour difference formula for small color differences for industry. The experimental data on which the formula is based are far from perfect. However, at the present time the formula represents the best that can be achieved. In our view, CIEDE2000 is timely because there are two different formulae (CMC and CIE94) being widely used at present. This is clearly unsatisfactory. The new formula offers significant improvements over both." (M. R. Luo, G. Cui, and B. Rigg, 2002) Final Verdict Even though the ΔE2000 won't be the final answer for the best color difference equation for the color field, it is by far the best and most widely used formula in the graphic arts industry backed by ISO and IDEAlliance. But regardless of which color differencing equation you are using, a good color match is what is approved by your customer or whoever pays the bills! That said, please allow me to end this blog using the five rules from Billmeyer (1970/1979):
Select a single method of calculation and use it consistently.
Always specify exactly how the calculations are made.
Never attempt to convert between two color differences calculated by different equations through the use of averaging factors.
Use calculated color differences only as a first approximation in setting tolerance, until they can be confirmed by visual judgments – in other words, verify all calculation visually.
Always remember that nobody accepts or rejects color because of numbers – it's the way that it looks that counts.
Update from 1.25.2022: Within the past few years, more and more clients of ours have asked about changing the weighting functions of the deltaE equation they are using. Therefore, we have released a firmware update for our handheld SpectroDens 4 which now offers this new feature. As the picture 1 below shows, the user can modify each weighting factor value if needed. Please note, if you assign a larger value than the original factory settings (in the picture), you are "decreasing the sensitivity" of that attribute. In other words, under the same deltaE tolerance, a larger weighting function value allows more discrepancies than a smaller one. Here are the default coefficients for each deltaE equation:
kL kC kH
ΔEab N/A N/A N/A
ΔECMC 2 1 N/A
ΔE94 1 1 1
ΔE2000 1 1 1
Note: it is inadvisable to change from the default coefficient unless specified in the Print Quality Requirement from the print buyer Picture 1. TECHKON SpectroDens deltaE equation settings We have noticed an obvious tendency that more and more people are switching from ΔEab (ΔE76, dEab or dE76) to the ΔE2000 (ΔE00, dE2000, CIEDE2000 or dE00). If you are thinking about switching, or just curious about seeing the deltaE values from different equations, we have a free app to help.

Q: In Elasticsearch, how to use a range query on a text field? There is a 'remark' field in Elasticsearch index that contains various remarks along with the date when that remark was given.  For example:
remark
------
14/02/2023 To be updated ; 15/02/2023 Further action is needed ; 16/02/2023 Looks good

Due to some implementation specific reasons, I can't split date as a separate field.  I need to query all the records that match a given date range in 'remark' field.  For example: Retrieve all the records that are in the date range 15/02/2023 and 16/02/2023.
I have written the following query in Elasticsearch:
GET myindex/_search
{
"query"
  : {
    "bool"
    : {
        "must"
        : [
            {

                        "lte" : "2023-02-16"
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    }

        : {
            "type"                : "unified",
            "fragment_size"       : 150,
            "number_of_fragments" : 3,
            "pre_tags"            : [""],
            "post_tags"           : [""]
        }
    }
  },
  "size"
  : 1000
}

The above query doesn't work since the field 'remark' is not of type datetime.  Is there any workaround to this issue?

A: Yes, it's possible to use text or keyword field type with range query but it's an expensive query, so it's disabled by default.

Using the range query with text and keyword fields
Range queries on text or keyword fields will not be executed if
search.allow_expensive_queries is set to false.

I won't recommend you to enable it but if you want you can use:
PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
    "search.allow_expensive_queries": "true"
  }
}

After you update the cluster settings your query will work.

Recommendation:
add a new field:
PUT index_name/_mapping
{
  "properties": {
    "remark_date": {
      "type": "date"
    }
  }
}

and update the data, the update by query will add a new field and value for each document.
POST index_name/_update_by_query?wait_for_completion=false

Q: On os x mountain lion, how can i remove an entry from the "routing table"? So today I was trying to reach a website who's IP happened to start with "5", however I couldn't do anything besides resolve the IP, not even ping it. So I did some googling and google said that I should run a command:
Adrians-MacBook-Pro:~ Adrian$ netstat -rn -finet
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags        Refs      Use   Netif Expire

I assume that the line starting with a "5" is messing my internet up. How can I remove this entry?
Bonus points to you if you have any idea how it got there in the first place.

A: The VPN software Hamachi uses 5.x addresses that it has no ownership of. Wasn't a problem until the 5.x block was assigned to a regional internet registry and parts of it started to be given out. Without getting into complex solutions your choices are:

*

*Remove the Hamachi VPN software

*Turn off the Hamachi software when you need to access real 5.x addresses

*Accept that you can't access real 5.x internet addresses due Hamachi currently using them for tunnel addresses

References: Wikipedia article on Hamachi Software


'S' x : Stores a copy of the given number x.
'A' : Asks for the greatest number.
'R' : Removes the greatest number (one of them, if it is repeated).
'I' x : Increases the greatest number (one of them, if it is repeated) in x units.
'D' x : Decreases the greatest number (one of them, if it is repeated) in x units.
Input consists of several operations.
For every query, the current greatest number. Print also an error line for each operation (except storing) when the collection is empty.

Q: Radzen Datagrid seems to be loading twice I have a radzen datagrid on a Blazor Server side app, that seems to be loading twice, this is, when first opening the page all data flashes for half a second (I took a screenshot, the data is show, not a blank grid) and then it switched to loading a it takes about 2 seconds and then shows the content of the grid.
I have been using as per radzen examples the "IsLoading" property to fill up data, I'll put an abridged version of the datagrid and of my code to show what I have.
Razor section:
@page "/projectlist"
@page "/"

@inject ISqlData _db
@inject AuthenticationStateProvider AuthenticationStateProvider
@inject NavigationManager navigationManager

@if (IsDetail == true)
{
    <ProjectDetail OnDetailShown="UpdateDetailView" CalendarPeriod="CalendarPeriod" Project="Project"></ProjectDetail>
}
else
{

Project List

    <RadzenPanel Style="width: calc(100vw - 80px)">
        <RadzenDataGrid style="height: calc(100vh - 175px)" AllowPaging="true" AllowColumnResize="true" PageSize="20"  IsLoading="IsLoading" AllowSorting="true" ShowPagingSummary="true" AllowColumnReorder="true"  AllowMultiColumnSorting="true"  AllowFiltering="true" FilterMode="FilterMode.Simple" FilterCaseSensitivity="FilterCaseSensitivity.CaseInsensitive" Data="@Projects" TItem="Project" >
            <Columns>
                <RadzenDataGridColumn TItem="Project" Property="ProjectNumber" Title="Project Number" Sortable="false" FilterOperator="FilterOperator.Contains"  Width="130px" Pickable="false" Frozen="true"  >
                    <Template Context="data"><RadzenButton Click=@(args => OnClick(data.ProjectId, data.ProjectStatus)) Shade="Shade.Dark" Text="@data.ProjectNumber" Size="ButtonSize.Small" ButtonStyle="ButtonStyle.Success" /></Template>
                </RadzenDataGridColumn>
                <RadzenDataGridColumn TItem="Project" Property="Name" Title="Project Name" MinWidth="300px"  />
                <RadzenDataGridColumn TItem="Project" Property="ContractType" Title="Contract Type"  MinWidth="300px" />
                <RadzenDataGridColumn TItem="Project" Property="PtdUnbilled" Title="Beginning WIP Balance" FormatString="{0:0,0.00}"  TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" MinWidth="210px"   Width="210px"  />
            </Columns>
        </RadzenDataGrid>
    </RadzenPanel>
}

and Code section:
    public IEnumerable<Project> Projects;
    private Employee Employee { get; set; } = null!;
    private string PersonnelNo { get; set; } = null!;
    public string EmployeeAdName { get; set; }
    public CalendarPeriod CalendarPeriod { get; set; } = null!;
    public IEnumerable<ProjectWip> ProjectWipCalculations { get; set; }
    public bool IsDetail { get; set; }
    public Project Project { get; set; }
    public bool IsLoading { get; set; }

    protected override async Task  OnParametersSetAsync()
    {

    }

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {

        IsLoading = true;

        EmployeeAdName = (await AuthenticationStateProvider.GetAuthenticationStateAsync()).User.Identity!.Name!;
        CalendarPeriod = await _db.GetCalendarPeriodAsync();

        Employee = await _db.GetEmployeeDataAsync(EmployeeAdName);

        PersonnelNo = Employee.PersonnelNumber;

        Projects = await _db.GetProjectsAsync(PersonnelNo);

        var enumerable = Projects.ToList();
        var projectList = enumerable.Select(x => x.ProjectId).ToArray();

        ProjectWipCalculations = await _db.GetCurrentMonthWIPData(projectList, CalendarPeriod.PeriodFrom);

        foreach (var project in enumerable)
        {
            var projectWip = ProjectWipCalculations.FirstOrDefault(p => p.ProjectId == project.ProjectId);
            if (projectWip != null)
            {
                project.CurrMonthInvoiceTotal = projectWip.CurrMonthInvoiceTotal;
            }
        }
        IsLoading = false;
    }

    private void OnClick(int projectId, string projectStatus)
    {
        IsDetail = true;
        Project = Projects.First(x => x.ProjectId == projectId);
        Project.ProjectStatus = projectStatus;
    }

    private void UpdateDetailView()
    {
        IsDetail = false;
    }

If I remove the "IsLoading" property the only difference is that the grid flashess for half a second all filled and then it blanks for about 2 seconds and the is shown, the "IsLoading" just renders an animation in the middle for a bit.
I don't entirely understand what is happening, if maybe the grid is being filled and then the call is done again to fill it? (I have all code in OnInitializedAsync
I've added a small gif showing what I mean below

A: Thats not a radzen thing.
Is because blazor, loads twice.
That is because blazor first prerenders the page to show the user, and then loads the full page.
If you want to disable this you can disable prerender of the blazor app.
How to disable Blazor server side pre-render?
The other solution is setting onload grid property to true by defaultt , and then in the event onAfterRender method if is first render set loading to false.

A: Maybe use OnAfterRnderAsync()
protected override Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool firstRender)
    {
        if(firstRender == true)
        {
            ReloadChart();
        }
        return base.OnAfterRenderAsync(firstRender);
    }

A: Try using fields instead of properties in general to avoid triggering parameter set events.
Also, a trick i use in my projects is to initialize task-fields using ??= then await them. That prevents the method to fire twice.
Edit: Added code example
private Task? _doSomethingTask;
protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
{
    _doSomethingTask ??= DoSomethingAsync(_arg);
    await _doSomethingTask;
}


This article focuses on darkness in performance, not only as a condition for playing, immersion or imagination (as in the recent trend for "theatre in the dark"), but also as the "stuff" of vision – both its object and its medium. The peculiarity of looking at and in darkness needs to be considered aside from the social and physical conditions of blindness and blackness that are often assumed to be its corollaries I suggest. What does it mean to look at darkness per se - at an absence of light, rather than its representation? What sort of visual object is darkness, and what can it tell us about looking more widely? In what ways can theatre be thought of in respect of 'visuality," or "visual culture" if there is no thing, or things to be seen? This assumes of course that darkness is neither a thing nor seeable, both positions I will seek to challenge. Darkness, I propose, is a threshold state for seeing, and when confronted with seeing nothing, one is forced to consider not only what it is that one is seeing, but also how it is that one may be doing so at all. In considering this, I examine experiences of looking at darkness in The Royal Court's production of Caryl Churchill's Escaped Alone, and in it in Tino Sehgal's This Variation in the Carte Blanche à Tino Sehgal retrospective at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris - both in 2016.


Are you looking to own a bed and breakfast? Or getting ready to sell your inn? You have come to the right place. The B&B Team can guide you from A to Z. A for acquisition and Z for zoning, with a lot of stuff in between. Let's look at O…O for owner's quarters-the good, the bad and the maybe.
Question prospective buyers often ask; "Tell me about the owner's quarters. How many square feet? How many bedrooms and baths"? Owner's quarters have become increasingly more important to our buyer clients in their bed and breakfast search.
Buyers will be investing in a bed and breakfast for the business value but also for the lifestyle. A property with spacious quarters that offer privacy and a sanctuary from the business is also perceived as valuable. Even though this space does not generate income.
We are seeing younger couples with families as buyers. They clearly need room for themselves and their children.
Extended families are also looking to purchase and run bed and breakfasts together.
In the past many innkeepers were willing to sacrifice owner's space. In other words, live in a refurbished basement or an extra bedroom. Reality… today this is rarely the case.
If innkeeper seller clients have lived in a smaller space their whole innkeeping career, they may not see it as an issue. More expansive quarters may not have been a priority when they bought.
Sellers must realize this smaller space will possibly be a negative issue with many of today's buyers.
But…there are exceptions. The Maybe. If the property's location is a desirable destination location and the business is strong, buyers may be willing to sacrifice their owner's quarter's requirements for a period of time. They may look to build on the property (if allowed) or even move off site (if allowed).We always advise buyer's due diligence to include researching what is allowed. Sellers too! Good to anticipate today's buyer's possible wants and needs when it comes to owner's quarters.
FACT: Zoning ordinances vary tremendously from one locale to another, and are typically regulated by the city or county planning commission or planning board.
In some municipalities the zoning ordinances will require you to live on-site. In others, not. Are you allowed to have your own private kitchen or not? All good questions that many aspiring innkeepers don't know to ask. And when they do, our answer is; "it depends'! Again, due diligence.
Yes, this is a basement. The Good!
The ambiance in a bed and breakfast is relaxed, comfortable. A place for your guests to unwind and luxuriate. Why shouldn't owner's quarters offer the same? Innkeeper's days are busy and full. A stress free environment is what you want and need. Clutter free, clean and if all possible, spacious. The Good.
No question, The Bad. No buyer wants to see this!
The B&B Team will always advise our seller clients to de-clutter and clean up any accumulated unnecessary 'stuff' to avoid prospective buyers from viewing the owner's quarters as The Bad! Even if the space is not spacious, a good cleaning out can make a small space appear larger. We cannot stress enough how important this is.
