When you buy as a flipper, you are a fool. Your task is to find someone more foolish than yourself to buy you out before prices crash. There are bagholders for every price crash. Someone has to own the asset while it declines in value. The trick to flipping is not to be that someone.
Speculative flipping only works when prices are rising. There are a few people who manage to make a few bucks buying at foreclosure auctions and quickly selling before the declining prices take them underwater, but these people are the exception rather than the rule. Most people who made money flipping during the bubble simply bought property, waited for a while, then sold it to some greater fool. That method does not work when prices are falling.
Despite the total collapse of pricing at the bottom of the market and the obvious signs of an impending market implosion, some people chose to buy real estate as speculative flips in recent years. I have already profiled a couple who have changed their minds and are trying to get out, but it is the ones who actually price the property to make a profit I find most interesting. They really believe there is someone out there who is even more stupid than they are.
Today's featured property is one such flipper. I know the penthouse is supposed to be nice, but is the premium really $900,000 or worse yet $1,575,000? Should people really pay $1,000/SF when properties in the same building are selling for less than $400/SF?
Expansive views of the nature preserve, mountains and twinkling city lights from this highly upgraded penthouse (1). Two bedrooms plus den/office, 2.5 baths poised on the 15th and 16th floors of the magnificent Plaza Irvine. Live and entertain in grand style from the gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances, custom countertop with backsplash. Enjoy the custom hardwood flooring, handsome fireplaces both in the master suite and living room, surround sound and PLasma TV in HD. First class service and top of the line amenities. Experience an urban lifestyle that is second to none!
An urban lifestyle second to none? LOL! This is Irvine, not New York.
How does one upgrade a penthouse? Do they have a downscale version of a penthouse?
Perhaps the high end is immune. Perhaps that is a $2,000,000 view and a $2,000,000 kitchen. Perhaps this seller will find that unique buyer who recognizes the special attributes of this property. Perhaps some savvy foreign investor will come in and pay cash for the place. Perhaps the buyer at $2,000,000 will find someone willing to pay $2,500,000 in a couple of years.
It may end right now with this bagholder.

The owners had better enjoy the view and the great urban Irvine living to get their money's worth. In addition to the $1.8 million paid, the monthly costs of this place is at least $2500-$3000/month just for fees and taxes.
Or, is there still a fool foolish enough (and most likely with some form of easy money)to take this gem from their hands?
Yes, and don't you love all the cultural, entertainment and vibratn downtown urban amenities that are MISSING from this urban/loft cummunity… better off buying a similar place in downtown San Diego w/ bay views for 1/3 the price of this disaster.
Nope, I have fixed them. Thanks for pointing it out.
Oh, but it has a PLasma HD TV. Surely that novelty deserves some premium.
don't get greedy, you don't want to insult the seller.
Don't forget the countertop with backsplash!!
Nice job on the song parody, IR.
Unbelievable that there was someone willing to pay close to $2M for a 2/2.5 apartment in a highrise.
Even after everything that has happened, the entire country seems to still think we can get away with this without facing the music. When does the instant gratification stop and the personal responsibility begin? Or is personal responsibility part of the old paradigm.
With politicians like these, who needs enemies? I guess the old saying is right – the people get the government they deserve.
This is the attitude I find most interesting. I blame this on the "Greenspan Put." In the past 30 years, every time we have had a problem in the economy, we have been able to avoid facing the music. People have come to believe that they will never have to.
For better or worse, most of the time the economy is under the control of the FED. It is when the economy gets out of control that the FED has to resort to drastic measures to regain it. It is during these times when we have the greatest financial hardships.
The road the FED must travel has two ditches. On one side is inflation, and on the other deflation. In the late 1970s, the economy fell into the inflation ditch, and the FED had to raise interest rates dramatically to regain control. The result was a horrible recession. Now, the economy has fallen into the deflation ditch, and the FED really doesn't know what to do to get out of it. At least the inflation ditch can be navigated by raising interest rates. Bernanke believes he knows the way out of the deflation ditch. Let's hope he is right because the last time we were in it was during the Great Depression.
That goes to show you we are still in the denial phase. We still have a LONG way to go.
If we are still in denial (agree), we will be getting into anger probably later this year. Will be interesting to see where, exactly, the anger will be aimed. I think people who are walking away should thing again as i think the silent majority of responsible homeowners hasn't yet seen the full impact. Plus there could be some regional differences ie I'm in the Mid Atlantic states and wonder why I'm getting taxed to help flippers like todays post or the moronic bank than I'm sure lent 100% of the purchase price in 2007.
I think I'm at the anger stage, as well as several people I know. Being young professional renters starting out, it is infuriating that a bunch of greedy people came before us and now we are in a position where we fear being laid off from jobs and losing everything we've worked so hard for. The young people are truly paying the price for this mess and I imagine we will be for a while.
young people are not greedy???
everything you have worked so hard for???
Yes, some young people are greedy. However, we are not the ones who created this massive crisis. Instead, we will be paying for it.
And just because people are young doesn't mean they haven't worked very hard to get where they are. Your post is patronizing. If you think it is easy for young people to complete and succeed in graduate school (which, let's face it, is practically a requirement for a decent job these days), you are very wrong. I'm not talking about the kids that skate by with C averages. Those of use who spent every weekend studying for years only to get jobs requiring us to be on call at all hours with an electronic leash do work very hard. And now, thanks to some people's actions that we had no control over, we worry about losing everything we've worked for. Housing may be cheaper if I want to buy something, but people in many industries would be complete fools to commit to a mortgage with the amount of uncertainty facing them.
We may not have worked for 50 years, but that doesn't mean what we have done is not hard work. Your attitude is very different from what I normally hear from baby boomers, which is usually that they admit they never would have been able to get into the same college they went to if the standards were as high as they are now and that they never would want to take the huge risks we have to take to pay for our educations.
Your post also assumes or at least indicates that I was saying we have worked harder than some other group of people. I did not say that. If you feel like you have worked harder than most young people, you probably have. But, that does not mean that we have not worked hard as well.
Wow, you are really bitter for such a young person. We all have to pay our dues with crap jobs when we start out – it's called "working your way up the ladder". I never felt "entitled" to any sort of job when I graduated from college – I was glad to get my foot in the door.
That's not the point. We are in the "anger" phase due to the fact that we might lose these "crap" jobs simply because of this mess and not because we don't do the work.
I and my colleagues just want a chance to work our way up the ladder.
I'm not sure what exactly the definition of "young people" being thrown around here is — but I can say that from the perspective of a 37 years old with about 13 years professional experience at a big 4 accounting firm under my belt, I am amazed by what I see out of our recent classes of "young" campus hires. The sense of entitlement is unreal. We can hardly find a "young" person off campus or in the first couple of years of their career who believes they have to work hard to get ahead — or even learn the job. Who is going to step up when my generation X nears retirement if they don't focus now? My money is on India starting to take on more professional-level jobs if this current group does not light a fire under themselves.
I just said to someone yesterday "It seems like all our campus hires this year believe they get paid to show up at work, and if they do something they want a little extra".
The bottom line is that everyone who is angry needs to write their Congressman and Senators.
Print out the infuriating profiles that IR publishes and mail them to the representatives expressing your feelings about all of this.
And don't whine "It won't make a difference…" That is lazy talk. When representatives start getting a lot of correspondences from the otherwise "silent majority", they know they've got problems.
I guess the young people don't want the typical big 4 seventy/eighty hour work week anymore. And they will get away with it (even if the salary might be a bit lower) since that is the common attitude of the whole generation – big 4 will have to change the work/life balance or the partners will do the number crunching themselves :-).There is more to life than work and the sooner big 4 gets this new attitude the easier the transition to this new work culture will be for the old and the new employees.
Pete – I don't work in that field, but I do notice a similar divide between the generations in mine as well. There seems to be an attitude among people around 35 and younger that there is much more to life than money and work. This can be perceived as laziness or entitlement by those that don't share the same view, but it is an important point that the people who want more "life" in their life do not expect to be compensated equally to those who are willing to make greater sacrifices. It will be interesting to see what happens with this.
the decision is much easier for the partners than you think… we move the jobs overseas where people are willing to work harder.
Believe me I personally KNOW exactly how hard graduate school is – lots and lots of graduate school.
But graduate school is not as hard as working for years breaking down your body in a manufacturing plant for minimum wage to barely support your family – then to find out the little bit you were able to save each month for retirement is half gone – NOW THAT IS WORKING HARD.
I also know how it was to teach college classes to these 'young people' you are talking about and the sense of entitlement and expectations that it should be easy were astounding to me and I wasn't much older than the kids I was teaching.
Now, I certainly don't believe that all young people are like that and I certainly could accept that you yourself may have worked very hard and don't deserve this situation. I can't say I am too happy about the fact that my chidren are going to be paying for all this stuff – but I am also not very happy that I am paying for it either.
Sorry nobody owes you anything. It doesn't matter if you went to graduate school or not. Life is about getting by on your own wits, not relying on a piece of paper to do it for you. I guess they don't teach you that in grad school do they?
This was my competitive advantage when I entered a corporate environment: work hard, network and don't project a sense of entitlement. CK's comments are spot on.
The generations younger than the baby boomers have every right to be irate and bitter. Under boomer leadership this country ran up a huge tab and when the bill ultimately comes due, the boomers will be voting as a group to pass this off to younger generations. Lucky for anyone in those younger generations, you can look forward to living in the legacy of the baby boomers: higher taxes to pay for the huge deficit we now face and the Social Security and Medicare expenses the boomer generation is going to create.
If you are of the baby boom generation, stop whining. The mess you left behind dwarfs whatever 401k loss or housing related losses you have recently experienced. If you were too dumb to benefit when your peers were then you are in exactly the position you deserve. It is unfortunate that younger folks are starting out with a yoke of your irresponsibility around their necks.
True….with all this outsourcing of jobs going on, it's getting harder and harder for young people to work their way up. If you outsource the bottom few rungs of the career ladder to India, then how can workers even have a chance at gaining job experience? After all, doesn't everyone (with the exception of the well-connected) start at entry-level? Then a few years from now, employers will be wringing their hands and lamenting about how "Americans aren't qualified for high-level jobs" and then getting HB1 visas to import these same Indians who have job experience because they were given it!
On another note— when I started working, I even held down a part-time retail job at night/weekends to make ends meet. Well, good luck trying to do that these days; retailers aren't even hiring. You'd be surprised at how many people think inability to find work = unwillingness to work. I'm not that young anymore, but I'm still bitter at this massive interpretation of my work abilities.
I have passed the denial and anger stages. I'm now at the stage of buying up undervalued bonds on which sellers have wildly overestimated the chance of default.
Homebuilder bonds are a good buy right now. They yield 22% at this point. If the builders don't go under, these bonds will rally.
1. A lot of cash (like several years worth of operating capital), especially at a company which has ~BBB ratings.
2. Shorter bonds from companies whose future isn't very clear, but where you just can't figure out how they could implode before the bond matures. If they really couldn't run out of money in 10 months, and that's the amount of time left on the bond you want to buy, you pretty much have your answer.
3. Bad news which doesn't actually apply to the bonds you are looking at. I have seen several where due to M&A and spinoff, the name on the bonds is not the name of the party now responsible for paying them off. If the people who have to pay off the bonds are in much better shape that the original issuer, pay close attention.
4. Municipal bonds issued by an entity that is doing just fine, but happens to have a similar name to someone in trouble. Remember that it is very common to have a city, county, school district, and transportation district which all contain the same name. They are likely separate credits with separate credit risk.
Some of them still have a lot of cash, too.
the probability any bond yielding 22% will rally is low, and that's being kind…. unless you think you are smartier than everyone else.
there might be some corporate bonds worth while right now, but i say cash is still the best place to be.
based on what, their balance sheet, good luck with that.
High rise living may be useful to the next owner; they'll have a place to jump from once they realize they've been had.
It's that "high rise living" which provides that STUNNING view of industrial rooftops and the 405 freeway. If gazing at someone's 20-year old air conditioners isn't luxury living, I don't know what is!
I remember reading about this development on another blog where somebody had gotten a hold of the intranet web pages where building mgmt was bemoaning the fact that people kept ripping off the dvd players in the rec room and they kept having to shut off the water due to maintenance issues.
Seems like the $1150 a month rent on top of your $15k mortgage nut doesn't get you a whole lot except for a great view of the 405.
Unless those two bedrooms are huge, my crappy apt looks as big as this place!
They're not trying to make money, they're trying to get out. After a 6% commission, if someone pays asking price, they only net 10k. Which won't even cover their holding costs for a month given the mortgage, taxes and fees. It's much more likely that they're setting that 10k to kick-back to the buyer in closing cost assistance.
A lot of owners think that 6% price increase is their right, and that listing at that constitutes "breaking even" since they won't see a penny of it.
Is that what two million dollar furniture looks like?
That's exactly what I was thinking. My apartment looks nicer than this place. This is just a cheap apartment that happens to be at the top of a high rise building. The view is not that exciting either – a bunch of roofs to look at. Irvine is simply not the place for buildings like this. There should either be a decent skyline or an ocean view to look at and this has neither. Yuck.
Yes I agree. They are squeezed–if there was any hope of a profit or break-even they would have hired a stager to make it look like it might be worth 2 mil. It needs staging desperately.
2M for the "Irvine urban lifestyle." Are you F'n kidding me. This is not Manhattan. For that amount of coin, there are so many better alternatives in OC.
As was mentioned, the taxes and HOA are a killer in themselves. Even paying 1M for this place is too much in my book.
This price seems way off the WTF scale. In prior posts of this type, commenters noted that sometimes these are divorce listings. That is someone is trying to argue the community assets are less but you need to list with no buyers to prove the point.
I hope the owner wasnt in socal during the Northridge quake. They'd think twice about being that high up in ANY building, let alone paying $2M to do so.
Anyone else think a nice FAT quake would really accelerate this housing decline?
A quake might help some too. Might clear some of the excess inventory in a flash.
Look at the Redfin page where it list comparable listings and recent sales. There are no condos listed under recent sales. I think that says it all.
I'm curious – this was bought for over $1.8 million in 2007, yet the taxable value on which the property tax was based in 2008 (according to Redfin) is $1.5 million. Anyone know why this might be the case?
the county assessor has been reducing 2008 property taxes for recently purchased properties, 'to reflect market values', proactively.
clearly, they are trying to stay ahead of all the impending appeals.
That is the only thing I could think of, but I didn't think someone could get a reduction so close to the purchase date. Amazing, and it also shows how ridiculous it is that the seller is telling the county that this house is worth only $1.5 million for his/her taxes while simultaneously trying to sell it for close to $2 million….
I can't believe someone paid nearly $2M for this place.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm sure they didn't pay almost $2 million for it. I'll bet an honest dollar that they financed over 90% of the purchase price.
I can't agree that ALL flippers are fools and/or greedy (although the ones whom YOU highlight certainly are). SMART flippers help themselves and the housing economy — but smart flippers probably aren't buying nearly as many properties these days, at least not in tumbling markets like Irvine.
$1,000/sqft is about how much Vegas properties are going for now.
What's the HOA on this thing?
That could almost be a mortgage in some of the less desirable (non-Irvine) parts of the country.
Phsssstttttt! That's the sound of tea spraying all over my keyboard. I guess you are paying for privacy, because you will be living almost by yourself. Those buildings are mostly empty.
I think everyone here is failing to properly value all of the nightlife within walking distance to this place… The Daily Grill, The Melting Pot, Subway, Kaplan Learning Centers and an abortion clinic. Considering all of these things, this place is a steal. Come on, it's not like they are making any more high rise condos in the middle of nowhere with sky-high HOAs!!!!!!!!!!!!
You failed to mention the FREE I-Shuttle that can take you all around during lunch time so you can scope out empty commercial real estate. I am kind of shocked a proper pub hasn't opened anywhere in the Irvine CBD. DG and McCormicks is all you can do Irvine?
Irvine keeps out the clubs and pubs, but that is no problem?
What would this thing rent out for? I would guess $4000 per month. It's a gussied up apartment.
Even with a 50% down payment, you would need to shell out almost 10K per month to own this thing if bought at the current WTF price.
Good post! May I add, "Studpid is as Stupid does" and then from the 15th floor, Jump Forest, Jump!
I have to agree with Mel, younger people are in a bad position compared to Boomers. Their education expenses are way out of proportion to their earning potential and their jobs keep going over seas. To top it all off, I can hardly believe this myself, America IMPORTS young educated talent with the H1-B visa program while American citizens with the SAME education go unemployed. This is a representative goverment? Exactly who is getting represented?
The university system got much tougher in the 80's because the hot vocational degrees started attracting ALL the talent. No more contented History and Astronomy majors, everybody had to go for a degree that landed INCOME immediately after graduation. The UC system no longer cares about educating students, they are FAR more concerned about weeding them out, and moving on to the next grant proposal.
Right now, new engineering graduates go without a single job offer, only a nursing degree still seems to guarantee a job upon graduation.
Pls don't direct your anger on H1B. The quota is back to 65K now and it is not even lasting for a day (out of 1 year's quota). To an extent, L1B is beig abused now and not H1B.
BTW, our company started URP (University Recruitment Program) and hired fresh BS/MS graduates here in bay area last year. I was shocked to see most (if not all) of them being from India. I hardly see any non-Asians taking up Engg at all. I hardly see non-Asian applicants either (in fact I don't remember any that I interviewed). Hiring in general has stopped now everywhere, and that may be the actual reason for you or your friend not getting a job.
One should not be shocked that many of the engineering / computer science recruits come from Asia or have Asian backgrounds.
Have you seen the enrollments at Universities across the US? Almost all the science and engineering B.S. and M.S. programs and certainly the technical Ph D. programs are filled with non- Asians.
Marketing, journalism and acting are not appropriate B.S. degrees for the parents of 1st generation immigrants from Asia. Maybe a couple of generations later, but not now.
There is a problem with education visas. Foreign students are often only allowed to work in the US for lab assistant, teaching assistant, and similar jobs. Over time, universities adapted to this and started overworking and underpaying for these positions. US-born students take other higher paying or more interesting jobs while in school.
When I was at college, I made way more selling high end video equipment than the teaching assistants made.
Not true. I graduated in 2005 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. I had not intended on finding a job right after college. Instead, my boyfriend, (Computer Science major) and I intended on traveling the world. We had planned on getting real jobs after the money ran out.
But 4 months before I graduated, recruiters were calling me! I wasn't even soliciting them. From this, a really sweet high paying job fell out of the sky and into my lap. It was too good to pass up so I accepted it and we moved to San Diego.
Likewise, my boyfriend decided he didn't want to work & got unemployment. He spent 6 months either at the gym, golfing and watching soaps. Miraculously, when the checks stopped coming in, he found a great job 2 weeks later.
My brother, also a mechanical engr major just graduated this summer. He was a C student who took 7 years to get the 4 year degree. He also had a good paying job waiting for him at graduation.
The jobs are out there if you look hard enough. Also, in case you're wondering: I'm white, and so is my boyfriend and brother (duh).
Great story. Thanks for sharing. I'm part Asian but might have well as been white to the smart Asian guys that got me through my CS and EE classes.
Engineering is what any entering freshman should be majoring in to position themselves for future lucrative jobs. Accounting would be a practical second choice if they don't want to work as hard.
Accounting is too easily outsourced! I know from experience, and I have a masters in economics and accounting. They high-level jobs are great, but you have to get there via the easily-outsourced entry and mid-level accounting jobs.
Great story, garbler, but I worked as a senior tech doing mostly PWB layout for 36 years until last April when I was laid off. (Oh, there's someone doing my job alright, designing the same exact equipment for the same exact customer, problem is the guy doing the job is in Bangalore, India) The job market here (Austin, TX) is absolutely terrible these days, I've had a grand total of two interviews since then w/no prospect whatsoever of getting another tech job in my field.
I am really disappointed in this Penthouse/Apt. I would have expected at least 3 to 4k sq. feet for that kind of money along with the roof top.
They look just like the rest of the other lower levels so why would you pay for the top unless is was so much nicer?
They will be lucky to get half of their asking price. And again HOA out of control!!!!!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed your sense of humor! Obviously this person doesn't know a thing about real estate. A smart buyer would have never invested in property that in the end would be overpriced for the area. No matter how appealing the property may be..if the price doesn't match the neighborhood you are pretty much out of luck. I say.. keep it simple. Do your research and be smart! Real estate investing doesn't have to be only for the rich..successful investing is at anyone's grasp.. Has anyone read "The Pizza Delivery Millionaire"??? Rick Vazquez who has 20 years experience wrote a seemingly perfect book on how to do it right the first time..
IR, Thanks for the post. We sold our 2000 sq ft 1950's Palo Alto rancher in October for $1000 per sq ft. We were wondering what the income requirement for our buyer would be. Now we know. Yikes!
They had to put 35% down to get a loan. Yikes!
We were going to rent back for a couple of months but at $10000 a month it was a bit steep for our pocket book.
We have been hiding out at our cabin at Donner Lake waiting for the crash to hit Palo Alto.
Currently we are house sitting for friends in Belmont for a few weeks to try to warm up before returning to Truckee. We are really enjoying the spring in winter weather. It is going to be hard to transition back to cold and snow.
The wife is suffering from cabin fever at Donner so we may buy down in the Bay Area before the real bottom hits. That's the breaks.
Price declines in our preferred area have fallen about 50K in the last couple of months but we need another 150K down before the prices will fit the budget.
when did you buy orignally and for how much?
dilbert dogbert–I think we could find a way for you to spend some of your $2 million Palo Alto money down here in Irvine. Tell your wife there's no cabin fever in Orange County as long as you steer clear of Coto de Casa. We've got 80 degrees at the ocean today, driving PCH with the top down.
likely dilbert would quickly tire of the boorish South OC mentality. The Peninsula is a pretty intellectual place with redwood forests and great wineries and beaches. But the water was 53 degrees on Sunday so OC is definitely the place if you surf.
PA house purchased by wife back in mid 70s. I think the total was around 300K. Purchased from her dad in pieces over time. After all expenses, too complicated to explain, the net is modest for the area.
After all the trouble of moving out and relocating we want to limit ourselves to only one more move. We have lived in the mid pen area of SF for most of our lives and are very comfortable there. Once you know the timing and patterns of traffic it is easy to get around by car. Esp if you are retired and can organize your life around that timing and pattern. All our long time friends are nearby and the kids want to be able to return to the Palo Alto area so we will stay nearby. I did spend some time in SoCal in Torrance near the beach and found that Torrance is cooler than Palo Alto as we don't get afternoon summer fog (June Gloom?). I don't know about Irvine.
We will buy no matter what when we run out of Prop 13 time. We wish to remain tax aristocrats.
Best again to you all and esp IR and CR for educating and entertaining us.

Locally oriented food has recently gained considerable popularity as an alternative to the industrial food system. Current scholarship on local food has typically focused on direct-to-consumer (DTC) arrangements, such as farmers' markets or CSAs. Yet other players besides producers and consumers engage with locally-oriented food. Food vendors (restaurants, retailers and grocers, and value-added food processors) have recently entered the scene and locally-oriented farm-to-vendor arrangements constitute one of the cutting edges of the development of local food systems. This dissertation studies one such local food system in southern New England. Utilizing a mixed methods approach entailing social network analysis, in-depth interviews, fieldwork observations, and GIS analysis, this study interrogates how direct-to-vendor (DTV) local food systems operate. I show through the literature review that though local food systems hold considerable promise, they are not inherent mechanisms of sustainability. Next I turn to the question of what "counts" as local, examining the range of distances farms and vendors within this region travel to sell or purchase food, and asking what are the forces and conditions that influence this range of travel? The greatest influences are number of ties to other local food entities, what type of farm or food-vendor they are, size, and urban proximity. I then focus on key participants in the area of study. What are the challenges and constraints around developing a vibrant locally-based food system? These participants face continual pressure to expand their size and markets, emulating the dominant food system and thereby undercutting their sustainable potential. However, these participants also find ways to overcome what are sometimes contradictory interests to forge a functional locally-based food system based on reciprocity and trust. Due in part to price premiums on local food many local food participants tend to be white and have high incomes and levels of education. In the final empirical chapter I ask: in what ways do these inequalities manifest systematically? By geospatially mapping the locations of local food outlets against census data on race, income, and education, I show that racial and class advantages are perpetuated in terms of people's proximal access to these local food outlets.

This event took place in the past.
Please note, audience numbers at this event are limited to comply with City's COVID policies, so please do sign up to attend, via the 'register now' button above.
Since their last concert in London in November 2019, the four composer-performers who comprise Bastard Assignments have been only able to meet online (documented by their series of remote pieces: the Lockdown Jams). New working collaborations were made in situ and have produced the pieces made by Edward Henderson and Lewis Spear, who rehearsed in deserted City Lit classrooms in London; and Tim Cape and Mayah Kadish elsewhere.
Edward Henderson's Will was previously performed once in Oslo in February 2020 before the world shut down. Source material including recordings of Berlin construction sites and the dance track I Feel Space by Lindstrøm obliquely refer to intimate and euphoric encounters. Caitlin Rowley created a collaged score that combines the striations in rocks found at Cornish beaches with patterns formed by the lines on maritime charts for her solo viola piece A Memory of Wind.
Timothy Cape, Sorry for the late reply. Performed by Timothy Cape (percussion).
Caitlin Rowley, A Memory of Wind. Performed by Caitlin Rowley (viola).
Edward Henderson and Lewis Spear, Lewis, Sustain and Outro. Performed by Edward Henderson (piano) and Lewis Spear (electric guitar).

Sir George Rose Sartorius GCB (Bombaím, 9 de agosto de 1790 — Lymington, 13 de abril de 1885), visconde da Piedade (1836), depois 1.º visconde de Mindelo e 1.º conde de Penha Firme, almirante britânico que comandou as forças navais ao serviço de D. Pedro IV durante a primeira fase das lutas liberais. Foi substituído nessas funções por sir Charles Napier. Depois da sua passagem pela Armada portuguesa reingressou na armada britânica tendo atingido o elevado e prestigioso posto de Admiral of the Fleet. Era um acérrimo defensor da existência de navios de casco reforçado (os ram-ships), dotados de um esporão à proa capaz de afundar, por abalroamento, os navios inimigos, um dos quais, o HMS Polyphemus, foi construído sob a sua orientação. Para além das suas funções navais, George Sartorius foi também um talentoso aguarelista, autor de diversas obras ainda hoje relevantes e valiosas.

Biografia

George Rose Sartorius nasceu em 1790, filho primogénito de John Conrad Sartorius, coronel de engenheiros na East India Company (Companhia das Índias Orientais). Proveniente de uma família de militares, cedo optou por uma carreira naval, cedo ingressando na Marinha Real Britânica. A tradição militar da família manteve-se já que todos os seus filhos prosseguiram carreiras militares e a amiria das filhas casou com oficiais das forças armadas britânicas.

Carreira naval
Ingressou na Royal Navy em Junho de 1801, com apenas 11 anos de idade, sendo promovido a tenente 5 de Março de 1808. Nesse posto fez parte da guarnição da fragata HMS Success, comandanda pelo capitão John Ayscough, período em que comandou diversos ataques a pequenas embarcações a e alvos costeiros na costa italiana, incluindo o ataque à fortaleza de Terrecino. Foi promovido a comandante a 5 de Fevereiro de 1812, quando lhe foi confiado o brigue HMS Avon. Ascendeu ao posto de capitão a 6 de Junho de 1814.

Com apenas 16 anos de idade participou na batalha de Trafalgar. Entre Julho de 1813 e Junho 1814, no período em que comandou o Avon, teve James Weddell, futuro explorador da Antártida, na guarnição do seu navio, o que levou ao estabelecimento de laços de amizade que perdurariam toda a vida.

Com o fim da guerra contra a França napoleónica, em 1815 a marinha britânica desmobilizou boa parte do seu dispositivo bélico, tendo como resultado a saída de grande número de oficiais que nos anos subsequentes foram procurar fortuna e fama em armadas estrangeiras, particularmente naquelas que se encontravam envolvidas em conflitos. Foi o caso de Sartorius.

Depois de um período de relativo apagamento na sua carreira, em 1832 Sartorius foi contratado pelos liberais portugueses para comandar as poucas forças navais de que D. Pedro IV dispunha, na luta contra a marinha de guerra portuguesa, então nas mão do governo de D. Miguel. Nessas funções comandou a esquadra que transportou dos Açores os 7 500 Bravos do Mindelo, designação pela qual ficaram conhecidos os homens que constituíam a força que protagonizou o Desembarque do Mindelo.

Por estar, como mercenário, ao serviço de uma força estrangeira, Sartorius foi demitido da marinha real britânica, embora fosse readmitido em 1836. Permaneceu ao comando da marinha liberal até Junho de 1833, altura em que foi substituído por Charles Napier, outro oficial naval britânico.

Readmitido na armada britânica, a 19 de Agosto de 1841 foi nomeado comandante do HMS Malabar, um navio de 74 peças, cargo que manteve até 1844, permanecendo a maior parte do tempo em serviço no Mediterrâneo.

Com o termo da sua comissão no HMS Malabar, Sartorius deixou em 1844 o serviço no mar, não voltando a ter atribuído o comando de qualquer unidade naval. O seu próximo cargo, em terra, foi o de comandante-em-chefe de Queenstown (Conway), que exerceu de 8 de Agosto de 1855 a Abril de 1856.

Em 21 de Agosto de 1841 foi armado cavaleiro, passando a usar o título de sir. Graças às suas boas ligações na corte e aos serviços distintos prestados, a 9 de Novembro de 1846 foi nomeado ajudante-de-campo naval da rainha Victoria. A partir daí, numa rápida ascensão, foi promovido a 9 de Maio de 1849 ao posto de contra-almirante, a 31 de Outubro de 1856 a vice-almirante e a 12 de Fevereiro de  1861 a almirante.

Em 3 de Julho de 1869 ascendeu ao posto de Almirante-de-Esquadra, relativamente equivalente ao de Almirante da Armada, um posto raramente atingido.

A 28 de Março de 1865 foi agraciado com o grau de cavaleiro (knight) da Ordem do Banho (K.C.B.- Knight Commander of the Bath), sendo elevado a 23 de Abril de 1880 a grã-cruz da mesma Ordem (G.C.B. - Knight Grand Cross of the Bath).

Sir George Rose Sartorius era partidário da construção de navios com esporão à proa e cascos reforçados (ram-ships) capazes de afundar os navios inimigos por abalroamento. Com base neste conceito, e sob a orientação de Sartorius, Nathaniel Barnaby concebeu a classe de navios Polyphemus, a qual pretendia ser uma resposta à crescente ameaça para os grandes navios de guerra do século XIX que resultava do aparecimento de pequenas embarcações ligeiras armadas com torpedos, muito manobráveis e velozes. O HMS Polyphemus era um navio porta-torpedos de bordo baixo, com 2640 toneladas de deslocamento, propulsionado por dois hélices, cujo único armamento consistia num esporão em aço colocado à proa e numa bateria de torpedos apontada a vante. A sua grande velocidade, imbatível à época, associada à sua silhueta ultra-baixa e esguia, permitia-lhe uma rápida aproximação ao adversário com pouco risco de ser atingido pela artilharia, lançando os torpedos a curta distância ou abalroado com o esporão. Apesar do potencial destrutivo de uma unidade naval deste tipo, apenas foi construído uma unidade, o HMS Polyphemus.

Após a sua passagem pela Marinha de D. Pedro IV, Sartorius estabeleceu relações profundas com Portugal, adquirindo propriedade no país e aí residindo durante períodos alargados. Foi assim que em 1835, na sequência da extinção das ordens religiosas, adquiriu em hasta pública a Quinta dos Frades, em Almada, propriedade que originaria o título visconde da Piedade que lhe foi concedido em 1836. Aliás, Sartorius aparece na lista dos 20 maiores compradores dos bens nacionais, essencialmente bens monásticos, alienados após a vitória liberal. Assim, aparece entre aqueles de quem Oliveira Martins diria serem a família dos políticos, que entre si jogam a sorte do país, como os soldados jogavam a túnica de Cristo. E essa família dos políticos é o apanágio indispensável do sistema constitucional em todos os países como o nosso, atrasados, pobres e fracos. A política é um modo de vida de alguns; não é uma parcela da vida de todos.

A ligação a Portugal será mantida por toda a vida, tendo o velho almirante colaborada com as autoridades portuguesas na construção e aquisição em Londres de diversos navios, entre os quais a primeira Sagres da Armada Portuguesa, lançada à água em Junho de 1858, e a corveta mista Bartolomeu Dias, projectado como clipper para a marinha mercante inglesa, mas adquirido ainda no estaleiro e adaptado a navio de guerra antes de, em Janeiro de 1858, ser lançado ao Tamisa, também sob a supervisão de Sartorius.

Vida familiar
Sir George Rose Sartorius casou em 1839 com Sophia Lamb, filha de John Lamb, tendo deste casamento resultado três filhas (Margaret Emily Georgina Sartorius, Sophia Isabelle Sartorius e Rose Sartorius) e três filhos (George Conrad Sartorius, Reginald William Sartorius e Euston Henry Sartorius).

Pelo menos um dos filhos, Euston Henry Sartorius, que viria a ser o 2.º conde de Penha Firme, nasceu em Sintra (a 6 de Junho de 1844). Euston Sartorius fez carreira militar em Inglaterra e veio a casar com Emília Jane, filha do visconde de Monserrate, sir Francis Cook.

Os seus três filhos do sexo masculino frequentaram em regime de internato, a partir de 1855, ano em que abandonaram Portugal, o prestigioso Victoria College em Jersey, tendo posteriormente todos eles seguido carreiras militares nas quais se distinguiram sobremaneira.

Estão apenas referenciados quatro casos em que dois irmãos receberam a Victoria Cross britânica. Entre esse grupo muito restrito encontram-se dois dos filhos de Sartorius: Reginald William Sartorius e Euston Henry Sartorius.

Falecimento
Sartorius faleceu em Lymington, na costa sul da Inglaterra, a 13 de Abril de 1885. Foi sepultado no recinto da Saint Mary's Church, de South Baddesley, Hampshire, Inglaterra, em sepultura assinalada com uma pedra tumular decorada com âncora e corrente, a qual é considerado um belo exemplo de arte funerária vitoriana. No mesmo cemitério, em túmulos próximos, estão sepultados a sua filha, Margaret Emily Georgina Whitaker, e o seu filho, Reginald William Sartorius, que foi major general do exército britânico.

Um retrato de sir George Rose Sartorius foi publicado na edição de 25 de Abril de 1885 do The Illustrated London News, de Londres.

Títulos
Recebeu o título de visconde da Piedade por decreto de 1 de dezembro de 1836, visconde de Mindelo por decreto de 8 de Julho de 1845 e o de conde de Penha Firme por decreto de 19 de Agosto de 1853, todos por D. Maria II.

A. H. MULLER 3 Artworks
A graduate of the Government College of Arts and Crafts in Madras, Archibald Herman Muller was born in Cochin, Kerala. After completing his studies, he joined his brother at his photography studio. Muller's shift to Bombay in 1910 proved to be lucky for him as he gradually occupied a special niche in the Indian art scene of the early twentieth century. Some of Muller's works stemming from Hindu mythological themes, rendered in an academic style popularised by Raja Ravi Varma, became critically acclaimed and won awards. His paintings included landscapes, portraits and scenes from the lives of maharajas and other historical subjects.
Created in the hallmark of the premodern Indian artistic style, Muller's figures of ordinary people, though set in an indigenous environment, bore elements of the Greco-Roman classical understanding of the body structure and posture. During the First World War, Müller, on account of his part-German descent, was offered a choice between jail and volunteering for the reserve force. He chose the latter and won appreciation for his series of lively sketches and drawings produced during service. From 1922, as a court painter for the Maharaja of Bikaner, Muller evolved his repertoire around scenes of royal hunting and from history. Later, his engagement with the court of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, after 1928, resulted in a series of paintings on subjects of mythology.
Muller travelled extensively through Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Gujarat, enjoying the patronage of the royal families, and his work was acquired by Buckingham Palace and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and is part of the collections in museums in Sangli, Maharashtra, and in Bikaner, Jodhpur and Jaipur in Rajasthan.


Humankind has been dreaming of and foretelling various ways our world could end ever since we first learned that there was a world and understood the concept that things can end. From religious apocalypse narratives to today's scientific predictions of climate change and resource depletion, the world's cultures love to invent imaginative tales of our planet dying. Current astronomical theories suggest there is some truth in these, as one day our feeble planet will be incinerated when our Sun explodes into a red giant and swallows the Earth whole.
At least we won't have to worry about global warming anymore.
Hopefully, we'll have gotten our act together and colonized the stars by then – we do have over 4 billion years, after all. There is a chance humankind will have evolved into wholly new forms of life, gone extinct for various reasons, or merged with all-knowing technology and ascended to higher planes of quantum existence, a fanciful and popular dream I like to call the Nerd Rapture.
If immortality means having to spend time around those singularity people, just tell the Sun to go ahead and go red giant already.
While we don't know what will become of us once we are swallowed by the Sun, we'll have a clearer idea of what will at least happen to our planet thanks to the recent discovery of an alien planet being pulled into the heart of its own Sun. The planet has been named KELT-16b and orbits a nearby star, KELT-16. The star is about 1,300 light-years from Earth and is slightly larger than our own Sun.
Tidal forces at work forming an accretion disk from the remnants of a dying world.
The doomed planet, KELT-16b, is a "hot Jupiter," a class of gas giants which orbit their host stars closely. Apparently, it got a little too close over the course of its life because the planet is now being consumed by KELT-16. The researchers believe KELT-16b began its life farther away from KELT-16 but was gradually pulled into its host over time. The temperatures on the planet now soar up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,200 degrees Celsius), enough to cause liquid titanium oxide to rain down throughout the atmosphere.
Sorry, KELT-16b. At least titanium rain was pretty cool while it lasted, though, right?
Once KELT-16b had migrated to within a few tens of stellar radii, its orbital dynamics became dominated by tidal force. At such a close distance to its star, it is worth exploring whether KELT-16b may be in danger of either evaporation due to extreme irradiation or disintegration due to extreme tidal forces.
Luckily for voyeuristic planet-death-fetishist astronomers, KELT-16b is a perfect planet to observe due to its short period (time it takes to orbit its star). It takes roughly one day here on Earth for KELT-16b to orbit KELT-16, meaning astronomers get a perfect daily glimpse of the planet backlit by its star. We should all take a good, long look; whatever happens to KELT-16b will likely one day happen to us. I hate surprises.


While your children can learn about the natural world through books, there's nothing like experiencing it for themselves. It's no surprise that Perth, which is teeming with native flora and fauna, is a great place to begin that education.
Just a 25-minute ferry ride from Fremantle will take you to Rottnest Island, a paradise for nature lovers. There you can introduce your children to the famous quokka (yes, that happy-looking marsupial you've seen in selfies) on a guided walk during your stay.
Or take a stroll along the West End Boardwalk, and watch as your kids learn about the unique habitats of some birds like the muttonbirds which burrow into the sand.
From September to December, Rottnest is also a great place to take your kids to see humpback and southern right whales spending time with their newborns in the sheltered waters off the island.
A mere five minutes from the city centre, the Perth Zoo is home to around 1200 animals in three distinct zones: Australian Bushwalk, Asian Rainforest and African Savannah. Your children will relish seeing zebras, elephants and white rhinoceroses roaming freely in the African Savannah, or spotting koalas, wombats and kangaroos in the Australian Bushwalk.
For older children, the zoo's Close Encounters programme offers an insight into the world of a zookeeper. They can feed a giraffe, have breakfast with an elephant or stroke the shell of a Galapagos tortoise, one of the world's longest living species! No doubt you will enrich your kids' knowledge of the animal world by seeing such variety up close, at such an early age.
Instead of waiting for textbook chapters on flora and fauna in school, why not show your kids the real deal? Overlooking the Swan River in the heart of Perth, it is one of the largest inner city parks in the world.
Two-thirds of the park is natural bushland, which means it's the ideal place for your children to discover some of the region's distinctive native plants and birds. After traipsing high above the treetops on the Federation Walk, you can teach them about local fauna through a series of information plaques.
Instead of waiting for textbook chapters on flora and fauna in school, why not show your kids the real deal?
The walk also gives you a majestic bird's-eye view of the park. And there's more – if you go along with an Aboriginal guide, you'll be treated to the ancient Dreamtime story and some valuable advice on traditional bush medicines.
Perth sits on the banks of the meandering Swan River, and its spectacular coastline features stunning white-sand beaches such as Cottesloe and Scarborough, renowned for their clear waters and beautiful sunsets. But to keep the children active, and immerse yourself in the environment of Perth's waterways, why not take a kayak trip?
On a half-day guided kayak tour on the Swan River, your children will learn about the wetland habitat and watching black swans glide and dolphins play. In the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park just south of Perth, they see sea lions and penguins in their natural habitat, swimming, and diving in the clear blue coastal waters off Seal and Penguin Islands. Your kids will actually thank you for the time spent away from their tablets and electronic devices indoors!
Before the British arrived and established the Swan River Colony in 1829, Perth was dotted with many freshwater lakes that the local Noongar people depended on for food. As the city grew, these were reclaimed for small farms, parks and housing.
But now both you and your kids can experience Perth in its original state at the Perth Cultural Centre. Here a former chlorinated water feature has been transformed into a freshwater wetland filled with native species, including fish, frogs and small invertebrates, so your children can discover what Perth was like 200 years ago.
A short three-hour drive from Perth will bring you to Margaret River, where your children will be able to learn about life on a farm.
Sunflowers Animal Farm and Farmstay is a 315-acre cattle property, the ideal place to teach your children about farm activities such as feeding animals and collecting eggs. At the Animal Farm, you can pet and cuddle 350 animals, including alpacas, lambs, ducks and Shetland ponies.
While you're in the area, a visit to some of the region's caves are a must. Discover glittering chambers and ancient fossils deep under the ground, and learn all about the long-extinct giant animals known as Australian Megafauna.
These are just a sample of Perth's natural wonders – if you want them to get out and discover nature, there can hardly be a better place or teacher for your kids to learn than Western Australia's capital.
Perth is a pleasant place to visit year-round. Summer (Dec-Feb) delivers beautiful conditions if you don't mind the heat, but the period close to Christmas can be a bit crowded. Early spring and late autumn are the optimum times to aim for.
From the airport a taxi to the city centre will take around 25 minutes and cost about AUD$40 (taxis are metered). The airport shuttle bus is AUD$15 each way. Perth's Central Area Transit (CAT) buses are free and a great way to get around the city.
The Australian dollar (AUD$) is used throughout Australia.
Fly directly to Perth from Changi Airport via Singapore Airlines, Jetstar, Scoot and Qantas. Search for airfare deals and book your tickets now!

James Corden seducing Jamie Dornan 'Fifty Shades'-style is as cringeworthy as it sounds
Mr. Corden will see him now.
Fifty Shades Freed doesn't hit theatres until Friday but if you can't wait, or don't feel like watching the first two movies of the franchise yet again, this should satisfy you. Jamie Dornan joined The Late Late Show (Monday through Friday at 12:37 am ET, on CTV) host James Corden for a scene straight out of Fifty Shades of Grey — and if you thought Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele seeing Christian Grey's Red Room of Pain was both titillating and awkward, just wait until you see Jamie when he walks into James' playroom.
In a role reversal, Corden takes on the dominant's role, telling Dornan that he can "leave at any time." Like Anastasia, Jamie is apprehensive, yet intrigued, and follows James into the room. And it's like nothing he ever imagined.
Rather than whips and riding crops and floggers and cuffs, Dornan — and the rest of us — is treated to model train sets. That's right, lots and lots of trains. Hilarious, but then things take a weird turn. (You know, because things weren't weird already.)
Set to The Dream's "Code Blue," straight out of the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack, Corden tells Dornan to turn around before the two engage in all kinds of "foreplay." The pair dress up as train conductors (overalls and caps, of course), then James demands that Jamie call him "signal master." It's weirdly, and we mean weirdly, kind of a little bit sexy. But if you're not all hot and bothered by the climax, we get it. Because the ending is anything but happy.
This version may be G-rated compared to the S&M-filled movies but that doesn't make it any less uncomfortable. And with Dornan telling ITV's Lorraine that he is "done" with Fifty Shades, he may have used age as an excuse, but we think we know the real reason why. Blame Corden!
The Late Late Show With James Corden airs Monday through Friday at 12:37 am ET, on CTV.

Why I'm Moving To Austin, Texas
Los Angeles, Los Angeles. You've been good to me. But I'm comfortable, and that's why I'm leaving your almond milk latte filled city to head to the capitol of tacos and tequila.
Let's take it back to the beginning. I grew up in Mansfield, Connecticut, probably the smallest and prettiest town you'll ever step foot in. Only 2 hours away from the capitol of wealth (if you know Connecticut, you likely only know Hartford, Greenwich or Fairfield) Mansfield was where my story began. It's in my childhood bedroom where I ran up the stairs to escape from school and blog everyday that my ideas really began. The evolution of my career, something I've shared step by step on social media and Life Unfiltered since the beginning, has been nothing but unusual. I moved out at 17 to Bedstuy, Brooklyn, and then landed in Boston for three years. I got bored in Boston and convinced my (at the time) best friend Gabe to try out LA with me.
Being from the East Coast, Los Angeles was always the last city I said I'd try. Half the time when I was in LA I was trying to convince myself I wasn't crazy that I was moving to LA after living in many of the top cities in the country, and the other half of the time I was sketching myself out to where I was in such disbelief when I landed my Radio Disney show, Fearless Everyday. Do people who come from nothing really become something, or does that only happen in the movies? I've always struggled with looking at my life as a third person. Because I'm so deep in stress, anxiety and obsession most of the time with my career, I rarely realize how privileged I am to be able to tell you I've crafted my dream life by working my ass off. Often times, I'm only reminded of that when I connect with a college student or someone who is in a talk I'm presenting who reaches out to me after a few months and tells me how I helped them land their dream job or quit the job they hated.
Long story short, I never anticipated staying in Los Angeles longer than I had to. The happiness and calmness I feel in Boston is a feeling I've never had in LA. LA is the place everyone moves to be someone and that's what makes it so special. That also makes the competition so high, and the lack of depth and authenticity in people so extreme. I'd certainly say New York and Boston are a completely different place than LA on the topic of people. Making friends and keeping them in California was and will remain difficult. If you're not from there, it's hard to find your place.
When the pandemic hit, instead of leaving, I signed a lease on my dream apartment in Hollywood Hills and hit the ground running. What I didn't expect is what would eventually transpire in LA from 2019-2020: people dying every minute, immature young adults hosting COVID parties at their mansions, and top tech companies moving out of California to save money, especially on taxes.
Something over the past 5 months has shifted for me. Maybe it's because we ended the season of The New Unfiltered earlier, or because many of my friends have left LA, but I don't feel like I have to sacrifice my own happiness to stay in this city anymore. Austin has clean air, amazing people, great food, and a happening scene. There's also so many resources there for small businesses – something I've never found in LA is a community of entrepreneurs who want to bring each other up and not down. I've got influencer friends, but I way prefer to be around my friends who own their own companies because I thrive in that environment.
I'm not giving up my apartment in LA until I know if I like Austin more than LA, but I have a strong feeling I'll feel right at home in a world of tacos and tequila.

Oscar Gobern has returned to Huddersfield Town from his loan spell at League 1 Chesterfield.
The 23 year-old midfielder started three games for Paul Cook's side, but wasn't given permission to play for the Spireites in the FA Cup game at Braintree last weekend.
Chesterfield won that game 6-0 and Gobern was subsequently not going to feature in the Club's weekend game at Crewe, so he has now returned to PPG Canalside ahead of the conclusion of his loan spell, which was due to end on 19 November.

DOI: 10.4103/lungindia.lungindia_553_19
Background: Empyema thoracis is an entity seen across all age groups. This study aims at reporting a detailed microbiological profile of "pus and pleural tissue" in patients operated for empyema thoracis and also correlating it with perioperative clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: Patients operated for empyema thoracis between 2012 and 2016 were included in the study. Patients were taken up for surgery after thorough preoperative evaluation. Perioperative outcomes were correlated with the results of microbiological analysis to evaluate their effect on clinical outcomes. Results: In the study, 285 patients were operated. There were 215 males (75.4%) and 70 females (24.6%). Tuberculosis (TB) was responsible for 58.2% of the cases (n = 166). Of 166, 32 patients were mycobacterial culture positive, suggesting 19.28% mycobacterial culture positivity rate. 21.8% of the total mycobacterial cultures were multidrug resistant. TB culture-positive patients had a significantly higher incidence of air leak (P = 0.03), inter-costal drain (ICD) duration (P = 0.03), and higher rates of recurrence (P = 0.03). Nontubercular empyema constituted 119 cases (41.8%). Forty-seven (39.5%) cases were culture positive. Gram-negative organisms were cultured in 30 (63.8%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the predominant isolate. Bacterial culture-positive patients had significantly higher conversions (P = 0.03), prolonged postoperative air leak (P = 0.04), and postoperative wound infections. Conclusions: This study highlights the emergence of Gram-negative organisms in bacterial empyema and emergence of multidrug resistance in tubercular empyema. Clinical outcome correlation revealed increased complications in culture-positive cases in both tubercular and nontubercular empyemas.

Clara Peller net worth:
Clara Peller net worth: Clara Peller was an American retired manicurist and character actress who has a net worth of $1 million dollars. Clara Peller was born in Chicago, Illinois, and spent most of her adult life working as a manicurist in a Chicago-area salon, while raising her two children. When she was 80 years old, she was hired to work as a manicurist for a television commercial that was being shot in a local barbershop. Ms. Peller so impressed the ad agency executives that they later approached her and asked her to appear in an ad campaign they were working on for Wendy's. The campaign was created by the ad agency, Dancer Fitzgerald Sample, and featured the now famous line, "Where's the beef?". The 1984 campaign was a massive success for Wendy's and their sales jumped 31% worldwide. Clara Peller made two more commercials with the "Where's the beef?" campaign, as well as appearing in various product tie-ins. She was subsequently fired, when she appeared in an ad for Prego soup using the same catchphrase. She passed away in 1987.

This image is actually made of several pictures. Taking a few moments to look at it closely can reveal a lot about your personality traits and the way you think. Study the image before moving on (no sneaking a peek at the answers) to learn more about how what you see relates to the way your brain works.
Which animal or animals did you find fastest?
How quickly were you able to identify other animals?
How many and which animals did you find?
The animals you found first offer insight into your personality traits. People have long thought that animal choices say a lot about your personality, but new scientific studies show there are differences in the personalities of people that prefer different animals. Which animal or animals your eyes were drawn to fastest in the image can reveal details about your personality.
The Bird – If the first image you saw was the bird, you tend to have a more outgoing and expressive personality.
The Crab – If you saw the crab first, you tend to be happier and have a better sense of humor.
The Bird & The Crab – People who saw both images at the same time or very close together tend to be more sensitive and emotional.
The Horse – This image usually jumps right out at people who are more independent and free-spirited.
The Dolphin – If the dolphin was your first image, it means you are a more creative and artistic person.
The Ducklings – This image can actually be difficult for many to find. Seeing it first means you are detailed, quieter, and more focused.
The Bear – Seeing this growling beast means you are a natural-born leader with a strong personality.
The Puppy – If the puppy was the first animal you saw, it means you are kind and nurturing.
This works to identify your dominant personality traits because your subconscious mind plays a role in determining which animal you see first. This is an example of convergent thinking. Psychology Today defines convergent thinking as the ability for your brain to naturally limit the choices it can think of. Convergent thinking relies on instinct and preferences, making the first item you see the one that feels most natural to you. It reflects your inner beliefs and desires.
This exercise can also uncover more about the way you think. In his book "Thinking Styles" psychologist and college professor Robert Sternberg talked about the fact that people think differently and that it affects how they learn, work, and interact with others. How quickly you identified other animals and whether you were able to see all of them can help identify your thinking style and mental agility. While the traits of the animals you saw first related to your characteristics, the way you focus on the images is related to how you think.
Finding the bird and the crab requires focusing on contrast. If you were able to find both of them quickly, your brain processes information very quickly, and it is easier for you to spot connections and patterns.
Seeing the horse was more difficult. Finding it at all shows an ability to stick with it and look deeper. Those that spotted it easily are intuitive, deep thinkers.
Finding the dolphin's image requires a different type of thinking altogether. To see it you almost have to relax your eyes. This indicates the creative, expressive thinking often attributed to the right-brain.
Seeing the bear requires a thinker with the ability to look at the big picture and not be caught up with other details.
So what does it mean if you were able to find all seven animals? The more animals you found, the greater your ability to think divergent instead of convergent. That sounds complicated, but divergent thinking is just the process of finding more options. If you found four or more animals in the image, you're already well on your way to becoming a divergent thinker. Studies show that divergent, creative thinking offers many benefits. Divergent thinkers learn more easily and solve problems more creatively.
Only Highly Perceptive People Can See The Correct Image. Can You?
This Classic Optical Illusion Will Assess How Creative You Really Are!

Couldn't I just clip the pins I don't need and wire the rest up then cover with a blob of hot glue? The 7000814 is a bit different than mine. I'll take a photo of the internals.
There's this one too. It may be the same.
I found this image on google. I decided to give it a try and it works. There is a switch you can add to slow down the fan. Man this thing is loud.
Would it be best to connect all ground together and all positive together to get better current flow? In my eyes, the more tabs you have connected together the better...maybe overkill.
If I remove the shield from the inside will it affect anything?
That picture I posted had the fan wired cleaner than that. No need for a switch, if the PSU needs to cool off because it is getting too hot, it will override that jumper.
I got it wired up. I need to get some banana plugs now. I ordered some 10ga silicone wire so i can have the connections mo eable. I will be putting this setup in a case...somehow.
I wired mine with a switch to turn it on/off. I also wired the fan speed pin with the switch so it's slow at startup.
I left my PSU plugged in and went to town. I was gone for about an hour or so. I just felt the case of the PSU and it was warm. This doesn't seem normal.
Like I said, there is no need for a switch. Just wiring B2 to ground will slow that fan down and it will speed up when it needs to cool off. In your case, I'm not sure it will ever kick on high.
I looked at my sheet and I think I know why the case was warm, at least I think I know. I have A1 (PS_KILL) and B1 (Logic Return (aka ground)) always connected. Does this cause the system to be 'On' all the time?
Yes, PS_KILL to ground will turn the PSU on. If you want to put a switch on that one, it will turn it off. PS_KILL is also your 3.3 volt which you can access through the small pins. PS_ON is how you turn on your 12v rail and energize the large spades. This one is also connected to the same ground (logic return) as PS_KILL. Then, Pin B2 is also connected to the same ground to slow down the fan so you don't lose your hearing.
Ok. So if I connect PS_KILL and PS_ON, then switch them to ground, I should be ok? I will do some testing. It seems that I had the 3.3v energized and the fan was not running as the system didn't know to turn on. That may explain the warmer than normal case which cooled down quickly when switched on.
Stay tuned to this thread for more updates.
I take it you received an email? There was a spam post that Randy reported and Matt deleted and banned. First spam post in a very long time.
Ah ok. That explains it.

Had a thought. Since this is used on Template:recentposts (which will hopefully soon make its way onto the main page), why don't we link the icon itself to the respective @StrongBadActual and Instagram pages? Come to think of it, maybe we should do that for every use of this template— link to Toons, to Strong Bad Email, etc. What does anyone think?
SRMX12: Sounds interesting in theory, but without the nice blueness of a link, people might not know to click the image. It might work. I'll have to see this idea in action to decide.

What Is the Difference Between Scaling and Screen Resolution in Windows?
If you are trying to get your monitor or laptop screen set up for the best, or most comfortable viewing, you may find yourself wondering which adjustments are the best ones to make and how they can affect each other. With that in mind, today's SuperUser Q&A post has the answer to a confused reader's question.
I have discovered, much to my disappointment, that changing the percentage scaling in Windows (125, 150, 175, etc.) actually changes the screen resolution. What is the functional difference between adjusting the scaling factor and just changing the screen resolution?
Resolution is the number of pixels rendered on your screen. Scaling is how much everything should be enlarged when measured in pixels.
For example, with a halved resolution, things will still be the same size in pixels, but each pixel will be twice as large. With 200 percent scaling, pixels will be the same size, but things will occupy twice as many pixels in both dimensions.
1. Unlike scaling, it also makes pixels bigger (because your physical screen has a fixed size), so less detail can be shown when rendering photos, for example.
2. LCD screens have fixed native resolutions and images look the best when the system-configured resolution matches it. Using a lower resolution forces the screen to interpolate pixels (attempt to approximate a lower resolution with its native-resolution pixels) and negatively affects the quality of images.

The Victorians loved legend and lore of times gone by. In autumn, they used many herbs and spices that were associated with fall holidays. The Victorians were awed by the exotic. Find out what they believed those herbs & spices meant!
All this and Berries too!
If your yard is a typical southern New Jersey somewhat sandy soil with some oaks here and there, blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum) just might fit the bill. This tasty, succulent fruit will thrive in almost any kind of soil as long as it is acid.
I have fond childhood memories of walking through dill up to my chin in my Polish grandmother's (Babci's) garden. Of course I was quite small then, but the wonderful warm, cozy aroma of dill takes me back many, many years to the crocks of pickles she made.
There are many kinds of violets, the wild ones that grow along the side of the road, the yellow and pinks that are a bit unusual and then the fragrant ones that are more difficult to find.
Do you have birds gobbling up seeds and insect pests in your garden? If not, you should consider adding a bird feeder and planning to plant some bird-friendly plants for next year.
Many folks want to plant plants when they see them in bloom. Unfortunately for Hellebores, the Christmas or Lenten rose, the ground is frozen or there is snow everywhere when they're showing off!
