Solely specializing in helping people to most efficiently sell their properties for the greatest possible earnings within the duration of time intended.
We also are cognizant of why you want the highest feasible price when you sell your house today and need professional tips on the most profitable ways to sell your house quickly.
If you want to sell your house, you should get the best outcome obtainable. As seller real estate agents we fully understand why you need your house sold yesterday, not next year!
There are usually determined to be 2 primary areas of professionalism in property. Namely, seller agents (or brokers) and also purchaser representatives. Some real estate representatives team up with both sellers as well as purchasers, but I choose not to do this in my business for many factors. Creativity is the best crucial skill-set given that this allows me to figure out just what may be done to enhance and embellish a residence. Construction expertise is vital because it permits me to analyze the costs of remodeling changes. Local area market conditions and also fads are beneficial in finding out the max cost a house may cost in a certain location. I feel it is best for real estate brokers to focus on the areas that they take pleasure in the most as well as where their talents can be used because it causes the most satisfying career. As the homeowner real estate agent, I like to think of myself as a superb positive arbitrator.
The buyer realtor is actually usually a negative negotiator, writing up due dates, deadlines, and demands and discovering defects, deficiencies, and discrepancies as well as displaying a deadpan, downer facial expression, always acting down and dumbfounded about the property of the homeowner, and also demonstrating despondency, disappointment, defeat, disillusionment, disenchantment, and dissatisfaction. Obviously, this is actually an oversimplified description but I have seen it work out more often than not. I possess passion concerning the product I am marketing: the property is actually distinct, it is very special. I seem to, and also genuinely feel that, I negotiate from power, never coming from a position of weakness. The purchaser real estate agent negotiates coming from severe weakness, certainly never from an advantage. I am poised and peaceful, and will always appear to possess all the time in the world on my side.
The purchaser realtor display of displeasure is, typically, the initial indication that I am actually winning in the discussions. I get to utilize my natural beneficial personality to be gracious to buyer real estate agents.
As completely a seller's real estate agent, my career is only focused on assisting people to effectively sell their residences for the greatest achievable profit within the span of time desired.


The Government on March 12 issued Resolution No. 19/NQ-CP on major tasks and solutions for further improving the business environment and national competitiveness in 2015 and 2016.
Under the Resolution, ministries, sectors and localities are urged to concentrate on effectively making three strategic breakthroughs in close association with economic restructuring, growth model renewal, higher and higher productivity, quality, effectiveness and competitiveness, with a view to sustaining the country's ease of doing business index, which is run by the World Bank.
During 2015-16, the country will focus on improving the business environment, reforming administrative procedures, reducing administrative processes and costs, while ensuring publicity and transparency, enhancing the accountability of state administrative agencies, and enacting regulations on business conditions and specialized management of imports and exports which are conformable with international rules.
Specifically, the Government sets out targets for raising the country's business environment indicator to equal to or higher than the averages of the ASEAN-6 group (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand) in 2015. These include reducing the average time to pay tax and social insurance premiums to no more than 121.5 hours and 49.5 hours per year, respectively, and raising the number of businesses that complete online tax applications to 95 per cent.
In 2016, the country will strive to reach the average indicators of the ASEAN-4 group (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines).
Besides, advancements in science and technology would help with the restructuring of the agricultural sector toward mass commodity production. The sector must also promote product quality and competitiveness, while ensuring national food security, food hygiene and safety and sustainable development.
The Government also made other superior value-adding industries like finance, banking, insurance, communications, logistics, petroleum processing, seaport services and sea shipping, marine product processing, sea and island tourism, etc. priorities in the national development program.
Ministries, sectors and localities are also requested to synchronously implement restructuring measures to increase operation effectiveness of state-owned enterprises, and creating favorable conditions for private enterprises to develop in order to increase the competitiveness of the whole economy.
Special policies and mechanisms will also be formulated to facilitate enterprises, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises, in equally accessing resources, particularly capital, land and natural resources.
Enterprises are also encouraged to invest in technological and scientific research, development and application.
The Resolution also sets forth measures of public service socialization, including restructuring public non-business units and giving them more autonomy and accountability following the mechanism applicable to enterprises, especially those in the fields of education, health care and technology.

The Irregular Bullshit
Tit for tat and the path to war, raging narcissist-in-chief style
January 5, 2020 benfell
So Donald Trump ordered a drone attack which killed a Iranian general, Qassem Suleimani, in Iraq,[1] in response to a siege of the U.S. embassy in Baghdad[2] that had ended, likely with the promise of an expulsion of U.S. troops from Iraq.[3]
It's an interesting trick…
While Iran plots its response, we are left to wait and worry. It's like a two-for-one deal.
But you know, @realDonaldTrump is such a great businessman…. https://t.co/VifdJSddwF
— David Benfell, Ph.D. (@n4rky) January 5, 2020
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has already promised an escalation in response to Iran's response to the U.S. response to what he accuses Iran of having masterminded:[4]
….targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!
And indeed, the Iranians have promised a response to Trump's promised response.[5]
Trump refers to the Iranian Hostage Crisis that began in 1979 and ended on the very day of Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1981, in which Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 70 or 90 captives, a number initially reduced to 53, and later to 52, and holding the latter for 444 days. This followed a revolution that had overthrown the Shah of Iran,[6] whom the Central Intelligence Agency had helped to seize power from an elected government in 1953.[7]
You should by now be recognizing a pattern, in which each action provokes a reaction, even if decades later, and each reaction is intended to deter further action but, with the exception of the Iranian revolution against the despotic Shah, is really about saving face. We might also note that the CIA-supported coup was about preserving western corporate control of Iran's oil.[8] But you know, capitalism is just wonderful.
It is also possible that Bill Casey, while managing Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign, and who would take some Iran-Contra secrets to his grave, suggested to the Iranians[9]
that it might be in Iran's interest to stall the negotiations over the release of the American hostages. Casey allegedly intimated that a Reagan administration would resume arms sales to the Iranians.[10]
I imagine a few people have been wondering just what Trump means when he threatens Iranian cultural sites.
If by "cultural sites", Trump means bombing the holy shrines then the Americans will start a war that will last generations and rope in Muslims not just from Iran but across the Middle East. A new kind of warfare that eclipses anything we've seen so far. pic.twitter.com/JxTJL9D5L6

Perhaps for our raging narcissist-in-chief, just as the only true Amerikkkans are his supporters, the only people whose reverence matters is that of the social conservatives in his base.
Targeting Shi'ite Muslim shrines is a mistake traditionalist conservatives would never make. I think even neoconservatives would hesitate. But for authoritarian populists, it's all about "us" versus "them." And "their" significance lies only in enmity.
According the CIA World Factbook:[11]
Afghanistan has a land surface area of 652,230 sq km and a population of 34,940,837 (July 2018 est.).[12] We are still at war there.
Iraq has a land surface area of 437,367 sq km and a population of 40,194,216 (July 2018 est.).[13] The war with the Islamic State has mostly wound down, but I haven't heard anyone say we're finished with the war in Iraq.
So now, drum roll, please: Iran has a land surface area of 1,531,595 sq km and a population of 83,024,745 (July 2018 est.).[14] That is, over twice the land area of Afghanistan and nearly four times the area of Iraq. And something approaching three times the population of Afghanistan and over double that of Iraq. "President Trump said Wednesday [June 26, 2019] that a war with Iran would not 'last very long' or involve ground troops, as he seemingly dismissed warnings that limited U.S. military action could spiral into a larger conflict."[15] He proposes this while we are still embroiled in George W. Bush's Global War on Terror (even if we don't call it that anymore).
Oh yeah, hubris, baby![16]
As I noted yesterday, "An intelligent president might have been able to avoid a war with Iran. Given the raging narcissist-in-chief we have, I see zero reason for optimism."[17]

Sister Souljah
360 Degrees of Power (Epic) 1992
On her album, Bronx-born, Ivy League-educated community activist Sister Souljah (Lisa Williamson) raps her angry black nationalism in an articulate voice pumped up with melodramatic outrage. Simply produced in old-school style by Public Enemy studio associate Eric "Vietnam" Sadler and others, Souljah preaches "The Hate That Hate Produced," making the solipsistic proclamation that she "was not born to make white people feel comfortable…if my survival means your total destruction, then so be it." Souljah's militant Afrocentricity contains such positive elements as self-reliance, self-defense, entrepreneurship, unity and education, but proceeds into paranoia ("The Final Solution" is a fantasy scenario in which the US government reinstitutes slavery), syllogism ("There's no such thing as a Black racist!") and absurd sexism ("White women…want to sleep with your Black man…White feminist say that they are the sisters of Black women/Ask you to join their women's movement/And then they want to give you five hundred reasons why you should leave your Black man/And let them eat your pussy!"). Chuck D. alternates verses with Souljah on "State of Accommodation; Why Aren't You Angry"; Ice Cube's supportive appearance on "Killing Me Softly; Deadly Code of Silence" sets his calm intensity against Souljah's shrill hectoring. For all of its didactic tedium, 360 Degrees of Power is way more compelling than the tiresome relationship exploits of Souljah's 1995 autobiography, No Disrespect.
Souljah published a 1999 novel, The Coldest Winter Ever.

10 Buckinghamshire schools see funding per pupil fall year-on-year
The Government promised all schools would see increases in line with inflation

Denham Village School (Image: Google)
Several schools in Buckinghamshire have seen their per-pupil funding fall in the last year, despite government promises that all schools in England would see increases in line with inflation.
Official government figures reveal that 10 state-funded primary schools in Bucks are getting less money per pupil for the 2020/21 academic year than they did for 2019/20.
A further eight primary schools across the county saw a funding increase of less than 1.84 per cent, which was the rate of inflation - meaning they've seen a real-terms cut.
Denham Village School saw the biggest drop, with per-pupil funding falling from £8,185 to £5,864.
When asked about school funding last year, a Department for Education spokesperson said "every school in the country will see per pupil funding rise at least in line with inflation next year... with the biggest increases going to the schools that need it most."
However, these latest figures show that has not been the case - with the government laying the blame with local authorities.
The National Education Union has also said that recent increases to minimum levels of funding have actually benefited schools that have less need, while those with the most need have lost out.
Use our interactive widget to explore funding for your school - and see how this compares both locally and nationally:
There are huge differences in the amount of money state schools receive per pupil, even between those in the same area.
In theory, the way funding is allocated is based on the needs of individual schools and their pupils, but the NEU says the system is unfair.
The figures show that eight state primary schools in Bucks are receiving the minimum amount of funding per pupil for the 2020/21 academic year, which is £3,750.
In comparison, Speen CofE VA School, a voluntary aided school with a particularly small number of pupils, is receiving £10,166 per pupil - nearly three times as much.
Meanwhile, 14 state secondary schools are receiving the minimum amount of funding for this level of education, which is £5,000 per pupil.
Buckinghamshire UTC gets the most at £7,417 per pupil, or 48% more.
Schools that saw per-pupil funding fall year-on-year
School Name Allocation per pupil 2019/20
Allocation per pupil 2020/21
Denham Village School £8,185 £5,864
The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green £6,189 £5,530
Great Kimble Church of England School £5,312 £4,776
Dagnall VA Church of England School £7,025 £6,501
East Claydon Church of England School £5,248 £4,886
Ibstone CofE Primary School £6,145 £5,883
Fulmer Infant School £4,985 £4,866
Lee Common Church of England School £6,259 £6,142
Roundwood Primary School £4,346 £4,333
St James and St John CofE Primary School £4,385 £4,374
These figures exclude specialist SEN schools, as these are funded differently to other schools.
It includes both maintained schools, which are overseen by the local authority, and academies, which operate independently and receive their funding directly from the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
Generally, funding is made up of a basic lump sum that all schools of that level are entitled to, plus funding on top of that based on the number of pupils, and extra money for pupils with additional needs - such as those living in deprivation.
There are also other funding streams that relate to things like geographical isolation and expected growth in pupil numbers.
The process was set to be formalised by 2021, with all local authorities moving to a National Funding Formula, but as a result of significant challenges, the Government has delayed its implementation.
Most local authorities are in the process of moving across to the system already.
However, once it is fully implemented, many areas will see significant shifts and disruption in the distribution of funding between local schools.
It also means that, while schools should qualify for different levels of funding based on the makeup of pupils and other pre-set factors, in some cases that may not be happening yet.
The government has said that the reason some schools have received less than a 1.84% increase in funding is because councils still have some discretion in allocating funding under the current system.
Dr Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, said: "There is not enough funding for schools more generally.
"School spending power has fallen by £2.6bn since 2015 when the Government promised to protect school funding.
"The National Funding Formula is not fair because it does not provide enough funding to schools.
"It was introduced to address a problem of some schools being very badly funded and to create a single system that funded schools according to need; however, the Government used this as cover to level down school funding.
"Schools with the most need lost most money and schools that had less need but low funding just had their funding cut less.
"Class sizes have risen over the last five years, particularly in secondary schools. There are now one million children in classes with 31 or more pupils.
"The proportion of secondary pupils in oversized classes is the highest for forty years.
"Britain has some of the largest class sizes in Europe. On average there are 20 children per class in Europe's primary schools, but in Britain it is 28.
"One of the difficulties British schools have had in the pandemic is that because class sizes are so big, it is very hard to have social distancing.
"The Government have given schools very little money to deal with the pandemic. Not only have Britain's large class sizes made managing the pandemic harder for schools, but also it will make it much harder for schools to help children catch up when staff are spread so thinly between them."
Nationally, nearly 560 state primary and secondary schools in England saw their per-pupil funding fall between 2019/20 and 2020/21.

Around 3,700 schools also saw increases of less than 1.84 per cent, which was below the rate of inflation.
All secondary schools should have been receiving a minimum of £5,000 per pupil (rising to £5,150 next year), and all primary schools £3,750 per pupil (rising to £4,000 in 2021/22)
However, 110 secondary schools and 16 primary schools across the country were receiving less than this minimum amount.
The Department for Education has highlighted that these only represent a tiny proportion of schools, and said they will have specific features that affect their funding allocation.
In most cases they will have non-standard year group structures, so are receiving different minimum amounts for primary and secondary year groups. Other cases may include schools that are only open for part of the year.
A DfE spokesperson said: "The national funding formula is a fairer way of targeting funding to schools, making sure every school attracts at least £5,150 funding for each secondary student, and £4,000 for each primary pupil from next year and directing more funding to those who have historically had less.
"Schools are receiving a £14.4 billion funding boost in total over the three year period through to 2022-23 compared with 2019 - giving every school more money for every child."


[Fabbri's] most incisive, most effective, intellectually most inspiring essay is, in our judgement, Preventive Counter-revolution (1922). It was written in the heat of the moment whilst fascist goons were gaining the upper hand over the revolutionary disturbances in the factories and the fields. The post-war elections had inflated out of all proportion the strength of the leftwing parties, the striking workforce was poised to bring the system grinding to a halt and the trams were running with red flags on display. It was time to act, before the reaction could orchestrate any countervailing measures. Fabbri wrote: "But the revolution did not come and was not made. There were only popular rallies, lots of rallies; and alongside these demonstrations, countless choreographed marches and parades … Moreover, this euphoria lasted too long, at almost two years; and the others, the ones who felt everyday that they were under threat of being toppled from their thrones and stripped of their privileges began to wake up to the situation and appreciate their own strength and the weakness of their enemies." And they had armed the fascists to mount a counter-revolution to pre-empt the revolution; what we might describe as a preventative counter-revolution which fastened upon society even though the revolution never happened. This was Fabbri's interpretation of the fascist phenomenon, which came into existence as the armed wing of the landlords and capitalists and as a substantially novel force, the subsequent evolution of which defies explanation unless we recognise a frightening series of errors, shortcomings, ingeniousness and weakness on the part of the left.

The two biggest energy explosions in our Solar System are solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These eruptions can have a serious effect on our modern society's way of life. A main disparity between the enormous eruptions is the scale on which they appear. A flare is a localized sudden brief brightening on the Sun. The CME is an absolutely massive eruption in terms of its developed size and can grow bigger than even the Sun itself.
The source of these two major eruptions is powered by the energy stored in strongly-twisted and sheared magnetically-complex active regions (ARs) in the Sun. The wide range of electromagnetic spectrum and accelerated, highly-energetic particles are spread during the flare processes and can reach the Earth in about few hours, often causing telecommunication disruptions. Although the propagation speed of a flare is much faster than that of a CME, a CME can cause more damage than the flare itself. The Earth-directed CMEs can reach us in about 18 to 36 hours and are capable of causing very strong geomagnetic storms, which may occasionally have a major impact on our power grids and pipelines. This is not just fiction since a few very strong magnetic storms have already been known to black-out entire regions (e.g., Quebec, Canada, was catastrophically affected on March 10, 1989).
Based on the past events of flare and CME interactions with our planet, one of the burning questions of current solar research is how to produce and optimize a reliable flare and CME forecast. Answering this question inspires us to develop better and more accurate flare and CME forecast methods. The two powerful eruptions often follow each other within few minutes, but there are exceptional cases where they occur separately. Our aim is to understand why. Unfortunately, we do not know the perfect answer to this burning question yet. However, we can and have developed a method that could predict which type of these solar eruptions could be expected.
During our research, we analyzed the pre-flare behavior of the ARs with our newly-defined proxy in order to find indicative precursors of imminence for newly solar eruptive behavior two to three days prior to an actual flare and CME onset. Our proxy, called the weighted horizontal magnetic field gradient (WGM), is defined between two opposite magnetic polarities present in ARs. The WGM method gives fascinating diagnostic information about the expected flare energy and expected onset time. But, as mentioned above, is our goal is to predict which flares are accompanied by a huge CME and which are not. Therefore, it is intuitive to investigate the flare-CME hosted ARs and ARs with only flare eruptions separately.
To explore this mystery, we followed the evolution of the movements of area-weighted barycenters of the opposite polarity magnetic fields in a coordinate system fixed to the solar surface. We have successfully identified special structures of the behavior of the two opposite polarities before solar eruptions. We have found that where there is a CME with a flare, the area-weighted barycenter of one polarity changes the location before the eruption, but the area-weighted barycentre of the second polarity stayed at the same coordinates. This empirical relation means that the strongly-stressed flux ropes tear themselves away and uplift from the Sun. On the other hand, when the AR produced flares but no CME, then the two opposite polarity barycenters changed their loci very quickly. Here, the flux ropes would relax themselves via unwinding motions.
In summary, this new and simple observational tool may greatly enhance the capability of flare and CME forecast, including the accuracy of onset prognosis and predicting whether a flare will be accompanied by a CME. The next step is that we would like to considerably improve our flare and CME forecasting capability and iron out uncertainties present in the reliability of previously identified flare- and CME-risk signatures.

Evanston looks to hold second social media webinar for local businesses
Bailey Williams, Assistant City Editor
The city's Economic Development Division looks to hold its second set of social media webinars May 29, focusing on Pinterest and Instagram tips for local businesses.
The free webinar lasts 75 minutes and is targeted at social media coordinators at a beginner or intermediate level. The webinar will include information on how the city uses social media and strategies businesses could use to increase and better their social media use.
Among those who will be present are Luke Stowe, digital services coordinator, Elaine Kemna-Irish, Evanston Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Charliese Agnew, Community Engagement Specialist and Cindy Plante, ICMA local government management fellow Cindy Plante.
During the first webinar, the discussion focused on texting, website hosting, Facebook, Twitter, and some other tools, Stowe said. This inspired a different focus for the second webinar's discussion, which will cover new social media platforms and perspective on other topics.
"There's so much going on… that (with) one webinar, there wasn't enough time," Stowe said.
Stowe calls Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Instagram and Pinterest the "big six" of social media. There is "a tendency to always talk about Facebook and Twitter," Stowe said. Despite this, he said, depending where you look, Pinterest has an increasing presence.
According to a Pew Research study, 71 percent of adults who use the Internet also used Facebook in September 2013. About 22 percent used LinkedIn and 21 percent used Pinterest. These three were closely followed by Twitter and Instagram.
During the webinar, Stowe said he hopes to encourage small businesses to reconsider how they distribute their money, shifting advertisement revenue to a more digital source. Stowe said that there is some reluctance to make this shift, but hopes this is the direction businesses start to take.
For the first webinar, there were about 35 attendees, Stowe said, adding that he expects a similar turnout at the May 29 webinar. He said the city may schedule a third webinar in the future.

Q: Reinstall Yosemite on Macbook Air I have bought Macbook with Lion, which I have upgraded to Yosemite. Now I want to reinstall Yosemite from stratch. Which Mac OS version will be installed if I'll follow this instructions (Command (⌘) and R keys).
Will it install Lion (which was installed on my Mac Air when I have bought it) or will be downloaded last version - Yosemite?
How can I install Yosemite from stratch?

A: From OS X: About OS X Recovery

Which version of OS X is installed by OS X Recovery?

*

*If you use the Recovery System stored on your startup drive to    reinstall OS X, it installs the most recent version of OS X previously installed on this computer.

*If you use Internet Recovery to reinstall OS X, it installs the version of OS X that originally came with your computer. After installation is finished, use the Mac App Store to install related updates or later versions of OS X that you have previously purchased.

So as long as the local Recovery disk partition is intact it will install, at this point in time, OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

This is one of the newer BJ's in the area. My one and only visit was a couple of years ago shortly after they opened.
Beer quality during my visit was quite good with the Pale Ale being my favorite. Beer isn't brewed at this location but is shipped in from nearby pubs.

The interior was open with dining and bar areas. There place wasn't that busy during my visit so it was fairly quiet. This may change as the place get busy.
Ample parking is available (day or night).

Mum, 36, 'poisoned' by breast implants for 10 years feared she would die
Estelle Johnston claims she suffered a decade long ordeal and her pee smelt "rotten" after she went from an A to a D cup in 2009 in a move she alleges "ruined her life"

A mum claims to have suffered a decade-long ordeal after she underwent a boob surgery that left her with "rotten" pee, heart palpitations, and severe depression that left her feeling like she may die.
Estelle Johnston went from an A to a D cup in 2009 but experienced heart palpitations, static in her vision, gut issues and the loss of taste and smell.
The 36-year-old's weight also began to yo-yo out of control and she lost four stone in just two months before ballooning to the point she looked "pregnant" in 2015.
She also claims her urine began to smell strongly of "perm lotion" and burned when she went to the toilet, as well as experiencing crippling anxiety.
Mum Estelle eventually visited a doctor in January of 2020 who linked her symptoms to "breast implant illness," allegedly caused by Allergan textured silicone in her implants.

She now fears she could develop cancer after a link was found between Allergan textured silicone implants, that have now been removed from the market, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
Breastcancer.org also warns against the disease, but states: "Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a rare type of T-cell lymphoma (cancer of the immune system) that can develop in the scar tissue capsule and fluid surrounding a breast implant."
It adds: "BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer. It can occur around saline-filled or silicone gel-filled implants that have been placed for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or cosmetic breast enlargement."

Speaking on her decade-long plight, Estelle said: "I was poisoned for 10 years. I want to stop people making stupid mistakes that could affect their whole lives.
"I wouldn't want someone else to go through what I've been through and not know what was wrong with them. I wonder am I ever going to feel normal again? It's horrific.
"I had a tuberous breast deformity - I didn't grow properly. That was my reason for getting them.
"It was great - I had confidence and boobs. I don't think I was even a cup-size before. I was maybe an A-cup and I went up to a D-cup."

OnlyFans star, 29, dubbed 'Mexican Kim Kardashian' dies after 'botched butt-lift surgery'
Estelle added: "Six months after I first got them, I started getting really bad anxiety. I wasn't right - I was constantly shaking.
"I felt angry but I thought it might be the stresses of life. I went to the doctors at the time and they gave me anti-depressants.
"It seemed to help and mask the symptoms for a while, then it all came crashing down in February 2015. My mood swings went crazy.
"That was the build-up of getting poisoned for years. My body couldn't take it anymore.
"My pee smelt like perm lotion - like a real ammonia smell. It was disgusting. Even my daughter said it smelled rotten."

'Reformed playboy' moans Covid pandemic has destroyed his ability to pull women
The mum's ordeal finally came to an end when she visited a doctor in 2018 who told her the "truth" about her symptoms and claimed he had "a lot" of women who experienced the same.
Estelle said: "I went to the doctors and they sent me to the breast clinic because of the pain in my boobs.
"I first went in January 2018. They were like 'oh no, they're fine. They'll last a lifetime'. I wasn't happy because I was still sick.
"At the end of 2018, I went to see a surgeon who I told the truth about my symptoms. He said 'I've had a lot of women here with the same symptoms. They're feeling very ill from their implants'.
"After they were removed, I felt calmer inside. That complete doom and fear lifted. I'm not going to say I'm recovered - I still can't leave the house and have been diagnosed with PTSD from my experience of the implants.
"I am better than what I was but I'm nowhere near the person I was. The implants destroyed my life.

Mexican billionaire Slim boosts stakes in Saks and New York Times
Thursday, August 25th 2011 - 06:31 UTC
The richest man in the world now owns 7.2% of NYT class A shares
Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim spent 8.8 million dollars to boost his stakes in Saks Inc. and New York Times adding to his biggest US holdings as the stock market slumped last week. Saks gained the most in almost a year.
Slim's Inmobiliaria Carso SA investment fund bought 621,000 Saks shares on Aug. 18 for prices ranging from 7.72 to 8.01 dollars, according to regulatory filings. He also paid 6.83 to 7.09 dollars for 553,000 Times Co. shares the same day.
Named the world's richest man for a second year in a row in March by Forbes magazine, Slim is following his long-held strategy of adding to his investments when markets slump. Slim's publicly disclosed holdings are worth about 63 billion dollars.
Those holdings have declined by about 8.3 billion, or 12% from July 29 compared with a 10% drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
About 63% of Slim's holdings are in America Movil SAB, the largest mobile-phone carrier in the Americas. Most of his publicly disclosed wealth comes from Mexican companies he controls, including a bank, a retail chain and a construction firm.
Slim, who had been Saks's largest shareholder before the purchases and last acquired the New York-based retailer's shares in April 2009, raised his stake to 16% from 15.7%. The Times Co. acquisition boosted his stake in the New York Company Class A shares to 7.2% from 6.9%. Times Co.'s controlling family owns most of the Class B shares, which carry the right to elect 70% of the board of directors.
Saks, Slim's biggest disclosed investment outside Mexico, has fallen 18% this year as investors anticipate a reduction in demand as US economic growth sputters. Times Co. has dropped 29% over the same span.
Slim's Grupo Carso SAB operates two Saks stores in Mexico City through a licensing agreement with the retailer, according to the Mexican company's 2010 annual report.
Slim has no similar partnership with Times Co. and has said he is a financial investor with no desire to control the publisher. Last month, Times Co. said it is repaying a 250 million loan granted by Slim earlier than planned.
Slim's only other U.S. holding disclosed to regulators is a stake of less than 1% in Philip Morris International Inc., the cigarette seller on whose board he sits.
Last week, Saks posted a second-quarter loss of 8.4 million dollars after restructuring costs, narrowing from 32.2 million dollars in the year-ago quarter.

The usual advice for anyone presenting a subject in front of an audience is to never apologise for your performance. It risks your viewers losing faith in you as an expert. Don't say sorry for screwing up your guitar solo in front of the pub crowd on open mic night, and never ever show that you're underprepared when doing a show-and-tell for your board of managing directors.
That said, I'm a professional video maker by day, and the quality of what I'm going to show you is seriously not to my usual standard. There's a page of notes that I'd normally address and re-do, but the model got painted, so short of a voiceover to fix the meandering commentary (and that won't happen soon), or a time machine to start again, I thought I'd share this initial work before it gets completely out of date.
So without further ado, here's how to mask some complex shapes for camouflage.
Comments are welcome - and flames are mostly expected. These will get better as I produce them.

Review of Granny Flat Arrangements
On 29 November 2018, the Australian Government announced that the Board would undertake a review of the tax treatment of granny flat arrangements. The request was partly made in response to the 2017 Australian Law Reform Commission's (ALRC) report: Elder Abuse – A National Legal Response.
The Board's review involved assessing the tax circumstances surrounding the making of formal, written and legally enforceable family arrangements where, at its simplest, older Australians transfer title to their home, or proceeds from the sale of their home, to their adult child or another trusted person in return for the promise of ongoing housing and care.
From the Assistant Treasurer's press release on 29 November 2018:
The Morrison Government has requested the Board of Taxation undertake a review of the tax treatment of granny flat arrangements and recommend any potential changes.
The review will consider and make recommendations on the appropriate tax treatment of these arrangements, while considering the interactions between the current tax laws and treatment of 'granny flat interests' under the social security rules.
In making the recommendations, the review will consider how any changes could raise awareness and provide incentives for older people and their families to enter formal and legally enforceable family arrangements.
The Board is expected to commence the review in early 2019, including broad consultation with stakeholders, with a final report due to the Government in the second half of 2019.
Over the course of the review, the Board consulted widely with experts in this area, including with members of the Elder Law and Succession Law Committee of the Law Council of Australia. The Board is very grateful for their insights, expertise and commitment of time.
The Board appointed a Working Group of its members led by Mr Craig Yaxley as chair, and Mr Neville Mitchell and Mr Peter Quiggin PSM to oversee this review. Former Member and CEO, Ms Karen Payne led the review the outset of the Review before being appointed as Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman.
The Board completed its review of and provided its report to government in November 2019.
On 5 October 2020, the Government released the Board's report on the taxation of granny flat arrangements, announcing a targeted CGT exemption for the creation, variation and termination of granny flat arrangements where a formal, written agreement is put in place. The exemption will apply from 1 July 2021, subject to legislation passing.
For further information about the Board's review of granny flat arrangements, please contact the Board of Taxation Secretariat at taxboard@treasury.gov.au or (02) 6263 4366.

No recommendation by GST Council to bring petroleum products under new tax regime
The change in duties takes into account relevant factors such as international product prices, exchange rate, tax structure, inflation and keeping in view the prevailing fiscal situation, the minister said.
December 21, 2021, 16:47 IST
The GST Council has not recommended bringing petroleum products under the reformed taxation regime even as certain representations have been made to the government to include petrol and diesel in GST, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. Excise duty on petroleum products is calibrated time to time for generating resources for infrastructure and other developmental items of expenditure, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
"Certain representations have been received to bring petrol and diesel under GST (goods and services tax). Article 279 A (5) of the Constitution prescribes that the Goods and Service Tax Council shall recommend the date on which the goods and services tax be levied on petroleum crude, high speed diesel, motor spirit (commonly known as petrol), natural gas and aviation turbine fuel (ATF), " the minister said
Citing the CGST Act, the minister said inclusion of these products in GST will require recommendation of the GST Council. "So far, the GST Council, in which the states are also represented, has not made any recommendation for inclusion of these goods under GST," Chaudhary said further.
He said the government keeps a close watch on the factors affecting the international fuel prices and makes interventions by way of calibrating excise duty rates on these products as and when required.
"Government has, with effect from, 4th November, 2021, reduced Central Excise Duty (including cesses) on petrol by Rs 5 per litre and on diesel by Rs 10 per litre to provide relief to the consumers," he added. PTI KPM MR

Spumaretrovirinae, commonly called spumaviruses (, Latin for "foam") or foamyviruses, is a subfamily of the Retroviridae family. Spumaviruses are exogenous viruses that have specific morphology with prominent surface spikes. The virions contain significant amounts of double-stranded full-length DNA, and assembly is rather unusual in these viruses.  Spumaviruses are unlike most enveloped viruses in that the envelope membrane is acquired by budding through the endoplasmic reticulum instead of the cytoplasmic membrane.  Some spumaviruses, including the equine foamy virus (EFV), bud from the cytoplasmic membrane.

Some examples of these viruses are simian foamy virus and the human foamy virus.

While spumaviruses will form characteristic large vacuoles in their host cells while in vitro, there is no disease association in vivo.

Q: Writer monad operator definition issue I want to define >>= operator for a Write monad.
I tried something like that but it doesen't work (Does not compile). May I get some help? Thanks
newtype Writer a = Writer { runWriter :: (a, [String]) }

instance Monad Writer where
    return = Writer

    Writer m >>= f = Writer $ \r ->
        (runWriter (f m) r)

I get this:
Couldn't match type 'a' with '(a, [String])'

I get this error at return line, but also >>= is not defined well, I'm trying to get it right.

A: First: The type signature for return should be x -> Writer x. However, the type signature of Writer is currently (x, [String]) -> Writer x, which is wrong.
Second: Writer m >>= f = Writer $ \r -> ... But the argument to Writer isn't declared to have a function type. So that doesn't look like it's going to work. Also, you're calling f :: x -> Writer y with an argument of type (x, [String]), which can't work.
In short, the whole thing as it stands just isn't right. So that's why it won't compile; not sure how many hints you're after on how to fix it.

A: Writer constructor expects a tuple of a and what is already written. return writes nothing so
return a = Writer (a, [])

Q: marshal/wrap xml in SOAP envelope I have an existing xml payload that I have to wrap with a soap envelope, currently I am trying to build soap envelope from java classes with annotations. it is marshaled to xml with JAXB within the message service.
the current issues I have with using the annotations is
1. xml namespace assigning to soap envelope and not as attribute in child element (MQRequest element).
2. how to assign xsi to complex element (Transport element).
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAPENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

                <ns2:RequestDateTime></ns2:RequestDateTime>
            </ns2:ClientAudit>
            <ns3:Transport xmlns:ns3="http://group.com/abc/schema/Header"
                xsi:type="ns3:MQTransport">
                <ns3:QueueManager />
                <ns3:ResponseQueueName />
                <ns3:MessageFormat></ns3:MessageFormat>

            </ns4:Operation>
        </requestHeader>
        <Msg xmlns=""></Msg>

here is what I am currently able to replicate.
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"   xmlns:ns0="http://group.com/abc/wsdl/ABCService" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

            <Transport>

            </Operation>
        </requestHeader>
        <Msg>
        </Msg>
    </MQRequest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

as you can see the namespace for MQRequest is being pushed to the envelope. Java code is as follows.
@XmlRootElement(name = "Envelope")
public class SoapEnvelope implements RequestMessage {

  @XmlElement(name = "Body")
  private SoapBody soapBody;

  public SoapEnvelope(SoapBody soapBody) {
    this.soapBody = soapBody;
  }

  public SoapEnvelope() {
  }
}

Im using @xmlSchema with the envelope class, which I have put in a seperate package to the other request elements.
@XmlSchema(
    namespace = "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/",
    elementFormDefault = XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED,
    xmlns = {
        @XmlNs(prefix="SOAP-ENV", namespaceURI="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"),
        @XmlNs(prefix="xsi", namespaceURI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"),
        @XmlNs(prefix="xsd", namespaceURI="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
    }
)

@XmlRootElement(name = "Body")
public class SoapBody {

  @XmlElement(name = "MQRequest")
  AbcRequest abcRequest;

  public SoapBody(AbcRequest abcRequest) {
    this.abcRequest = abcRequest;
  }

  public SoapBody() {
  }
}

@XmlRootElement(name = "MQRequest")
@XmlType(namespace="http://group.com/abc/wsdl/ABCService")
public class AbcRequest implements RequestMessage {

  @XmlElement(name = "requestHeader")
  private AbcRequestHeader header;

  @XmlElement(name = "Msg")
  private MsgPayload msgPayload;

  public AbcRequest() {

  }
}

I have tried playing around using package-info and @xmlSchema but get similar results. I also have the same issue when assigning the header namespace (http://group.com/abc/schema/Header) in requestHeader it propagates to envelope and assigns "ns0:" to all the elements instead of ns1,ns2, etc.
the second issue that i mentioned relates to the following.
<ns3:Transport xmlns:ns3="http://group.com/abc/schema/Header"
                    xsi:type="ns3:MQTransport">

Im just not sure how to go about getting the xsi:type attribute assigned? I have read this http://blog.bdoughan.com/2010/11/jaxb-and-inheritance-using-xsitype.html, but not sure if right approach?
Happy to provide any further information.
Thanks for any help.

Southern California /
Molly's Souper: The Most Haunted Place In Upland California?
For the person with a hankering for a little breakfast in Upland, California, it's hard to beat a little place like Molly's Souper.
Open seven days a week for both breakfast and lunch (come for the breakfast, stay for the lunch could be their motto,) this little restaurant has a great menu, great prices, and great service.
It has it all.
Photo credit left: flickr/rzh right: tumblr/henker
Updated 2/10/2020 – Including, some people have said, a ghost or two.
Yes, this is a haunted restaurant…
Molly's Souper History
The now-famous breakfast joint is located in what was, at one time, a mansion.
Built just after the turn of the century, a mere five or so years before the United States would become involved in – and provide the critical boost in men, materials and morale needed to win – World War One, the mansion was originally owned by a citrus farmer and his wife.
It is possible that these original owners are the very apparitions which many have claimed to come into contact with at or in the Souper, but no one knows for sure.
What we do know is that some consider this one of the most haunted places in Southern California.
The Haunts of Molly's Souper
Photo credit: tumblr/wishflowers
Sometimes up close and frequently from some distance, patrons have reported seeing the shadowy figure of a man standing on the porch.
This in and of itself would not be particularly strange, except that in almost every account the man has no face.
None whatsoever.
One witness even claimed that he was smoking a pipe, and that he just held it up to the blank and almost blurry region that would have been his mouth.
According to that particular eye-witness, the smoke just went right through the man, catching the breeze behind him as if he had no substance at all.
And then, of course, there are the tales of the farmer's wife – if indeed that is who it is – which are a bit more chilling.
Mandy W., a sometimes patron of the haunted restaurant, has this to say about her:
"Whoever she is, she stalks children.
I mean really stalks them, too.
Several times when we've been there I've seen her appear.
She's this old woman, with a mean look on her face, except that she's transparent.
Like, you know, you can see through her.
Photo credit: tumblr/henker
"Anyway," she continues, "when I've seen her, she always goes after Derrick."
(Derrick is Mandy's ten year-old son.)
"Once she even got so close that she put her hand on him.
I saw it as plain as I see you now.
I don't think he felt it – not physically at least – but he shivered, and I remember him asking me on the way home if we could turn on the heat, even though it was August and pretty hot at that time of the year.
"The place is haunted, no doubt about it." She shrugs.
"I don't know if the old man is harmless or not, but he seems to be.
But that old lady…" she says.
"She's a real poltergeist.
I've seen stuff move around on its own whenever she's near, or sometimes if she comes into a room.
It's creepy as hell."
Good food or no good food, Molly's Souper seems to have something of the Soupernatural about it.

I'm sharing MY birthday to bring clean water to children in Africa.
Only $50 can provide someone with clean water for life.
Did you know that nearly 1,000 children under age 5 die every day from diarrhea caused by unsafe water? That's more than AIDS and malaria combined. Clean water, basic sanitation, and hygiene education are some of the most effective ways to prevent child disease and death.
World Vision is one of the largest providers of clean water in the developing world, reaching a new person with clean water every 10 seconds.
Will you help me with a donation of $50 to help me reach my goal?

Q: How to invoke a method of child class dynamically which specified by string value in base class? Here is tried code.
public class ChildB extends BaseA {
    public void showMessage() {
        Log.d("myTest", "Here is ChildB.");
    }
}

public class ChildC extends BaseA {
    public void showMessage() {
        Log.d("myTest", "Here is ChildC.");
    }
}

public class NormalD {
    public void showMessage() {
        Log.d("myTest", "Here is NormalD.");
    }
}

public class BaseA {
    public void showMessage(String sSpecifiedChild) {
        sSpecifiedChild.showMessage();  <== I'd like to invoke a child method specified by String value.
    }
}

public class MainActivity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_jelly_notification);

        BaseA baseA = new BaseA();

        baseA.showMessage("ChildC");
        baseA.showMessage("ChildB");
        baseA.showMessage("NormalD");   <== occurs an exception because "NormalD" is not child of BaseA.
    }
}

Desired result is :
Here is ChildC.
Here is ChildB.
It occurs an exception of NormalD.

A: You can cast the object using some class or @class property parameter in base class. Prepare the object using that property and for any derived class you can use the same function and it will going to call. You can have a look at it


Washington — US President Donald Trump affirmed his country's commitment to Nato, but only after dragging top allies — Germany in particular — through a chaotic two days of insults, accusations and demands for them to have more military spending.
In a news conference hastily arranged on Thursday on reports he had privately threatened to pull out of the post-Second World War alliance if countries do not rapidly raise their defence spending, Trump said he believed he could leave Nato without Congress's authorisation. But he said doing so would be "unnecessary" because countries had agreed to spend more.
Trump was vague on the details of any new financial commitments or timelines. US allies played down his assertions that they've raised spending targets above levels agreed upon in 2014.
Trump insisted his divisive posture throughout the Nato meeting would not — as some critics have suggested — play into the hands of Russian President Vladimir Putin, with whom Trump is to meet next week. Persuading western nations to spend more on their militaries isn't something Russia wants, the president said.
"Everyone's agreed to substantially up their commitment," Trump said at the news conference in Brussels. He said allies had agreed to raise defence spending by $33bn amid his reported threats to withdraw.
"I just want fairness for the United States," he said.
Trump wouldn't confirm that he'd threatened to pull the US from the defence bloc, though he admitted being more assertive about pressuring allies to increase their defence spending.
He said the US commitment to the 29-member Nato remains very strong and cited "the additional money they will be putting up" and "the level of spirit in that room" during the meetings.
Nato leaders held an emergency session on the last day of the summit after it was upended by Trump's attacks on allies. One Nato government official said the morning meeting on Thursday was taking place against the backdrop of Trump threatening allies to "go it alone" unless they agreed to raise their defence budgets immediately.
While Trump claimed victory, European leaders were more reticent on their spending plans. French President Emmanuel Macron was closest to countering Trump, saying Nato members "agreed to raise spending as they agreed in 2014". That's a reference to a commitment made at a previous summit to halt declines in defence outlays and "move towards" a goal of spending 2% of GDP by 2024.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her country knew it needed to do more and was already doing so. The change in trend had long since begun.
Merkel's government has committed to spend about 1.5% of GDP on military spending by 2024, calling it a more realistic goal for its expanding export-driven economy. She lacks support for robust military budgets.
Trump said he extracted a firm commitment by all Nato allies to substantially increase their defence spending to more than 2% of their economic output, within a "relatively short period of years." After that, they'll keep increasing it to 4%, a number he called the right one.
"Nato is now much stronger than it was two days ago," Trump said.


'Welfare to politicians' is not a priority for the governor, says his spokeswoman.
AUGUSTA — Supporters of Maine's law allowing public financing of election campaigns are worried by a portion of Gov. Paul LePage's proposed budget, which they say would deprive legislative and gubernatorial candidates of funding for 2014.
The budget seeks to cut $2 million in disbursements from the Maine Clean Election fund in each of the next two years, for a total of $4 million.
How big is LePage's tax bite?
Funding for political campaigns was not a high priority for LePage in drafting a budget in a fiscally challenging environment, said his spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett.
"This budget, we had to prioritize. Giving welfare to politicians came further down the list from protecting Maine's most vulnerable people," said Bennett, and it's a "false premise that these dollars take the politics out of" campaigns.
LePage, a Republican, ran for governor in 2010 with private funding.
Voters approved the Maine Clean Election Act in 1996, making Maine the first state to adopt public campaign financing. Under the law, legislative and gubernatorial candidates who qualify by collecting the required number of small donations receive public funds for their election campaigns.
The program has been highly popular with candidates from both parties since it was first used, in 2000. As many as 81 percent of legislative candidates have financed their campaigns with Clean Election funds in some years.
The percentage dipped from 77 percent in 2010 to 62 percent in the 2012 elections.
Independent, third-party organizations have spent heavily on behalf of some legislative candidates in recent elections.
The Clean Election Act used to provide matching funds for publicly funded candidates who were targeted by those third-party groups, but the U.S. Supreme Court struck down that provision in 2011.
The ruling in effect took away publicly funded candidates' ability to access extra cash when their privately funded opponents outspent them.
Bossie said his group will push for legislation this year to address that portion of the law. A similar attempt was rejected by the last Legislature.
"We should be fulfilling the will of Maine people by strengthening our campaign finance laws so voters, not out-of-state special interests, have a greater voice in Augusta," said Sen. Ed Youngblood, R-Brewer, sponsor of the bill to address matching funds.

Component Benefit
No HEPES (0 mM)
GAIN medium does not contain HEPES, therefore CO2 incubation is required.
Gentamicin sulphate (10 mg/L)
GAIN medium is also available with the addition of gentamicin sulphate.
Indeed, even under aseptic conditions, commensal bacteria are easily introduced in culture media. Since these contaminations can be detrimental to gametes, embryos and ART outcome, a large number of customers choose to use media supplemented with gentamicin (Quinn 2014).
Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) tests done by FertiPro N.V. have demonstrated that embryo culture media supplemented with 0.010 g/L gentamicin efficiently eliminate bacterial growth.
EDTA probably acts in several ways (Quinn 2000). EDTA is known to act as a chelator of heavy metal divalent cations that may be present as trace contaminants in media components and plastic culture ware.
Moreover, EDTA acts through the chelation of iron resulting in a lowered generation of reactive oxygen species (Nasr-Esfahani et al. 1990). EDTA may also suppress glycolysis and may therefore be beneficial for the culture of cleavage stage embryos (Lane and Gardner 2001).
HSA (3.5 g/L)
GAIN medium contains 3.5 g/Liter Human Serum Albumin (HSA) to optimize medium performances. HSA is universally added to most ART media because it is widely considered to be of benefit.
The role of albumin in ART media is extensive, including:
- Stabilization of the cell membrane of the embryo in the medium (Malda, et al. 2008).
- Inhibition of lipid peroxidation that can be damaging to sperm (Alvarez en Storey 1995).
- Carrier and source of essential molecules needed by the embryo (Malda, et al. 2008).
- Detoxification by binding waste products from cell metabolism (Blake, et al. 2004)
