The CDC is reporting the first ever United States confirmed case of MERS-CoV. The individual, a health care worker who travelled back from Saudi Arabia on April 24th, initially presented to an emergency department in Indiana on April 27th with complaints of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Given his travel history a sample was taken and sent to the CDC for evaluation. On Friday, May 2nd, the CDC confirmed that the patient had MERS-CoV.
After first being identified in 2012, predominately in the Arabian Peninsula, there has been a recent surge in MERS-CoV cases. While the CDC has not placed any travel restrictions, government officials seem to appreciate the potential for spread of the disease. The Egyptian Health Ministry and Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health both issued travel advisories to their citizens. Fortunately, to date, all confirmed cases have contracted the disease while in the Middle East.
MERS-CoV is a novel coronavirus that can lead to severe respiratory illness in humans. Partial genomic sequences and receptor usage suggests that bats may have served as the original MERS-CoV host species. There has been speculation that there may have been a intermediate host such as camels and goats however this has not been proven (Raj et al, 2014).
Clusters of human to human transmission have been reported in multiple countries throughout Europe and the Arabian Peninsula. However, these outbreaks have not shown sustained human to human transmission (Raj et al, 2014).
In 2013, in a hospital located in an eastern province of Saudi Arabia, a total of 21 of 23 reported cases were acquired by person-person transmission in hemodialysis units, ICUs or in-patient units in three separate health care facilities. From these cases there were approximately 200 health care worker (HCW) contacts, 2 of which developed laboratory confirmed disease (Assiri et al, 2013). In another case of 11 MERS-CoV ICU patients, 520 HCW's were exposed but only 4 (1%) tested positive (Arabi et al, 2014). While there are many variables that could affect the transmission of MERS-CoV, it does not appear that spread of the virus readily occurs from patient to HCW.
While this data suggests that human to human transmission is possible, it is not clear if comorbidities increase the risk of acquiring the disease. For example, patients with diabetes and chronic renal failure seemed to be at increased risk of severe infection. However, it is not clear whether these conditions are a risk factor for infection or simply predisposed the patients to be preferentially exposed (Perlman et al, 2013). These are important questions that need to be addressed before one can fully appreciate the nature of MERS-CoV transmission.
Close contact with a symptomatic traveler who developed fever and acute respiratory illness w/in 14 days after traveling from countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula.
In patients that meet the above case definition the CDC recommends evaluating all causes of community acquired pneumonia while working up MERS-CoV. The health care provider should notify their local health departments as well as the CDC. This short form can be completed by any provider and faxed to the CDC.

Denis Gusev
Professional Bodybuilder, Fitness Model
Denis Gusev entered the world of fitness at an early age, being part of his athletics team in high school. He began building his body to further his track and field ability, but by the age of 31, he decided to take part in his first competition.
Denis now has numerous shows under his belt, as well as featuring in various magazines as a fitness model. This is his story:
Full Name: Denis Gusev
Weight Height Arms Chest

Waist Thighs Calves

Profession Professional Bodybuilder, Fitness Model
2012 Russian Championship, 8th
2013 Moscow Regional Open Cup, Winner of the best routine
2013 Moscow Open Cup, 3rd
2013 East Europe Cup/Russia Open Cup, 3rd
2013 IFBB World Championship, 2nd
2013 IFBB Arnold Classic Europe, 1st (Pro Card)
2014 IFBB Pro Grand Prix Los Angeles, 16th
2014 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro, 12th
2014 IFBB Europa Dallas Super Show, 3rd
2014 IFBB Pro Fort Lauderdale, 13th
2014 IFBB Pro Dayana Cadeau Classic, 3rd
2014 IFBB Pro Kentucky Muscle, 14th
2014 IFBB Pro Felicia Romero, 10th
Born in the small town of Tikhoretsk, Russia, Denis grew up as a very athletic child. Competing in his school's track and field team at the age of 10 – this led to an inevitable passion for fitness. To support the sport, he began training in the gym to increase his athletic ability, and fell in love with the gym.
By the age of 17, in 1998, Denis had developed a shredded physique and began studying physical education and sports at college. For the next two years, he learned about the importance of nutrition and made it his goal to pack on some muscle.
Becoming a Personal Trainer and Fitness Modelling
At the age of 26, in 2007, Denis moved to Moscow to pursue a career in fitness. He managed to get a job as a personal trainer in his newly adopted city, continuing to sculpt his body in his spare time.
With a great knowledge of nutrition and training strategies, the future IFBB Pro gained a lot of muscle mass over the next couple of years. It was at this point that Denis began receiving invitations to attend photo-shoots as a fitness model.
This made him realize that he could have a serious future in the industry.
First Competition and IFBB
By the time he was 31, in 2012, Denis finally decided to enter his first competition. Although he didn't win, he had gained vital experience that would help him in the future.
A year later, after more intense training and preparation, he returned to the stage at the 2013 Moscow Regional Open Cup. He walked away from the show as the winner of the best routine – this gave him even more motivation to succeed.
After a further two low-profile contests, placing 3rd both times, Denis entered his biggest contest yet – the 2013 IFBB World Championship. Impressively, he placed the highest he had ever placed before, coming a close 2nd.
Motivated by his progress, he was more determined than ever to take home his first victory.
Earning his Pro Card
Not long after placing 2nd at the World Championships, he entered the Arnold Classic Europe that same year. This time, he walked away in 1st place.
All of his intense training had paid off – along with the victory, Denis had also earned his Pro Card. At the age of 32, he had finally realized his dreams of both winning his first competition and becoming a professional bodybuilder.
Life as a Pro and going back to College
Over the course of 2014, Denis appeared in an impressive 7 shows. However, he was not able to replicate his success in the Arnold Classic – the highest he placed was 3rd.
Since his last competition, 2014 IFBB Pro Felicia Romero, Denis decided to further his education. He graduated from the Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI), majoring in analytical economics.
Denis trains in the gym for 5 days per week. On the days that he works out, he trains cardio in the morning, then returns to the gym in the evening to lift weights.
However, Denis is a strong believer that diet is more important than training, and is more strict keeping his diet than a training routine.
"A good diet that is sometimes more important than the actual workout."
Denis aims to eat 6-7 meals per day to keep his metabolism high and feed his body. He plans his diet around lean proteins and complex carbs to maintain his shredded physique.
Diet Plan:
Denis' diet plan would look something like this:
Meal 1 – 50g porridge with Milk and Honey
Meal 2 – Beef with Buckwheat
Meal 3 – White Fish with Buckwheat
Meal 4 – Chicken with Buckwheat
Meal 5 – Fish with Salad (Tomato, Cucumber, Low-Fat Cheese)
What we can learn from Denis Gusev
One thing we can learn from Denis is that knowledge is key to success. He spent years in education, learning about physical exercise and nutrition, and it all paid off when he set his sights on becoming a competitive bodybuilder.
Denis has taught us that it's never too late to begin competing – he only stepped on stage at the age of 31, but through intense training, still managed to earn his Pro Card a year later.
Neville Giloisays:	 August 2020
I have been a fan of Denis for a long time now. Not only has he the physique & looks of a world champion, but also the professionalism, polish & charisma to be a firm favourite with every fitness fan.

REVIEW: You've Never Worn Buds Like These by Glen Hart at NewsTalk ZB
If you're reading this from outside New Zealand, you may not have heard of our Number 8 wire, can-do attitude. In fact, you may not even have heard of Number 8 wire. Just to bring you up to speed, it's the sturdy wire commonly used in farm fencing that can also be bent and cut into an unlimited selection of shapes and lengths for any number of other uses.
We Kiwis claim to be able to improvise anything if we have access to a pair of pliers and a roll of No.8 - from basic handtools right up to flightworthy aircraft.
While that's a slight exaggeration, it can't be denied despite our relatively small population, our nation often punches above its weight on the world stage. Obvious examples include leading the charge in yacht-racing technology (we're the current and frequent holders of the coveted America's Cup) and Rocket Lab, a company that literally launches satellites into space on a regular basis, from right here in little old N.Z.
In a nutshell, we hate it when people tell us something can't be done. In fact, that usually is just the catalyst we need to forge on and achieve the impossible.
So what has all that got to do with earbuds?
The Earshots story is another prime example of Kiwi can-do.
When the pandemic struck in 2020, James Bell-Booth suddenly found himself out of a job and stuck at home in Palmerston North. While some people may have found that a bit of a setback, Bell-Booth seized the opportunity to solve a problem he'd been grappling with for a while; earbuds that actually stay in when you're mountain biking.
Over the following months he sat at his kitchen table, working on a series of prototypes, fiddling about with magnets and burning his ears and fingers on too-recently moulded plastic.
To bring a quality product to market takes a team though - and assembling one during a world-wide pandemic proved challenging. However, embracing all the networking technology available to him, Bell-Booth did indeed get his team together, although not physically together - it turns out that's not really so important anymore. The Earshots crew are spread not only across New Zealand but around the world.
The result was pretty crazy; a pair of buds held on by the unique SHOCKLOCK system, a combination of in and over-ear components that magnetise together to stay firmly in place.
And I'm here to tell you, that's exactly what they do.
I've walked. I've run. I've cycled. I've painted. I've dug. I've lifted. I've even gone up and down ladders. The Earshots never moved. I'm not a hang-upside-down-from-a-rock-face kind of guy but I'm confident if I was, these things would stay.
Earshots has just launched its second-generation and now the fit is more customisable - allowing you to rotate the bud between five different angles to best suit your ear shape.
There's nothing subtle about this form-factor; but if you're an adventure junkie you're probably less interested in fashion and more concerned with substance over style.
The good news is, Earshots are all about substance. Not only do they stay in always without fail, they offer the longest battery life of any earbuds I've ever reviewed. Up to ten hours playback from a single charge and - wait for it - up to 150 hours from a fully charged case. Can this be true? 150 hours? How would I know? I charged the case (via USB-C) when I first unboxed my Earshots and I've never had to since. Not once. And I wear them all the time. If battery life is your number one concern, these should be your number one choice.
With buds this size and shape and battery life like that, you might think the case is a little bigger than conventional wireless earbuds. Wrong. It's way, way, way bigger. Kind of like a small lunchbox or toolbox - that's what it reminds me of anyway, with it's chunky, tough construction and clickety-clackety clasp. There's no way this is fitting in your pocket. But it won't smash if you drop it and it keeps your Earshots charged for A HUNDRED AND FIFTY HOURS! So who cares?
These 2022 Earshots claim to have been significantly upgraded in terms of sound quality - I haven't tried the originals so I can't comment. What I do know is they've cleverly moved a lot of the inner-workings out of the buds themselves and into the rear housing that sits behind your ears. Apparently this means they have more space to do cool stuff with titanium drivers, pressurised acoustic chambers and helmholtz resonators... whatever any of those are. They sound pretty damn good, anyway.
"Black River" by Amos Lee is a very simple track, mostly bass and Lee's acoustic guitar. Yet the Earshots do a wonderful job of creating a wide soundscape for the nicely produced stereo effects. The bass is strong, if slightly boomy but all in all, there's quite a bit of audio magic happening here.
Which is just as well, given there's no companion app of any kind to adjust the EQ or any other settings for that matter. Is this an issue? I guess that depends how much you like to tinker around with your sound. Personally, I'm more than happy with the mix; vocals come through warm and clear, there's plenty of oomph across most frequencies and as I've mentioned, there's really powerful bass response - if just a tad muddy.
Call quality is perfectly satisfactory too. My test for this is if the people I'm talking to ask me if I'm on bluetooth during our conversations. None have, so I assume they're receiving me loud and clear.
On-board controls are the one area where there's still plenty of room for improvement; there really aren't any. Okay, yes there's a small play/pause/answer button on each bud but that's it. No volume control, no virtual assistant, no pass-through or Active Noise Cancellation. You can't even skip tracks. I feel like this is something James and his team need to address for the next generation. Given these buds have been specifically designed for activities like cycling and climbing, where you need your hands free for long periods of time, having to get your phone out to fast-forward the intro of your podcast seems counter-intuitive. I do quite like the way the single control button on each side is also positioned on the rear housing. It makes it easy to find and more comfortable to push against the side of your head, rather than pushing the bud into your ear.
I can't say I've missed ANC much. This is a deliberate design decision as cyclists in particular prefer to hear a little of their surroundings to prevent being taken out by speeding cattle trucks and the like. To be honest, the fit is good enough and the Earshots can be wound up loud enough to block out most other annoying noises anyway.
Which brings us back to the beauty of these buds - not physical beauty - but truly innovative design that makes Earshots the most purpose-built wireless earphones I've ever met. If you ride a bike, climb mountains, spend a lot of time upside-down or you're just sick of your earbuds falling out, you won't be disappointed with these.

We have been trading in the area for over 20 years and have helped countless local people move home. As part of a network of estate agents, we help at every step, from mortgage services and conveyancing to EPC's and surveys. Find housing agency in Ballyroan with Conerney, the number one Ireland property portal.
Prominent High Street location in the heart of Ballyroan.
: Conerney Ballyroan housing agency listing the best property for sale and to rent in or around Ballyroan. Talk to us now about selling and letting your home or search for properties with Conerney Ballyroan Estate Agents.
We take a look at useful methods to shortlist, work out with and handle estate agents.
This may seem an apparent location to begin, however ask good friends, family members and colleagues who have actually just recently moved which estate agents they used and exactly what they thought about them.
Likewise look in your city at the "for sale" and "sold" signs; it's a helpful indicator of the agents that work well in your location.
You must be able to research this without needing to set foot in an estate agent's branch. Members of these plans will be yelling about it on their websites.
Visit your shortlisted estate agents as a prospective purchaser searching for a home like your house. Focus on how they behave and ask yourself 2 concerns:.
Would you enjoy if the property being explained was yours?
Shortlist your agents, however do not reduce too much. Try to get at least 3 to come and value your home or business.
When your property is valued it's crucial not to be too satisfied by the agent that values your property the greatest– this could be a tactic to win your service.
Preferably, you need an agent who is going to be truthful and fair, not one who is going to misestimate your house then cannot get a buyer at that rate.
Just how much does the agent charge for sole agency and what is the tie-in duration? Sole agency is where one agent has the unique right to sell your property for a set period. If your home is offered by another agent in this time you will still have to pay the sole agent their fee, along with the agent who in fact sold it. As a guideline, fees for sole agency can vary between 1% and 2% of the list price, with a tie-in period of as much as 8 weeks.
How much does the agent charge for multi-agency? A multi-agency arrangement means numerous agents will have your house on their books, with the effective agency being given the fee. Normally speaking, this fee will remain in the region of 1.5% to 2.5% of the list price.
How long has the agent been developed and what is their experience? A reputable agent that has experience selling residential or commercial properties in the instant vicinity of your home is preferable.
How will your house be promoted? Will it appear in the regional paper? On a home website such as Rightmove? Is the agency able to reveal examples of how they market homes?
Who will look after viewings? Will the estate agent be present at all watchings? Examine regarding whether they will be offered throughout nights and weekends.
Sole agency is less expensive, but the net isn't really cast as large and there may be less chance of a fast sale. Multi-agency costs more, but indicates that your house will get more exposure, which increases the prospect of a quick sale.
You might choose to begin with a sole agency, relocating to multi-agency at the end of the tie-in duration. Or you might decide to jump straight in with multi-agency.
Whichever you pick, now is the time to bargain. If one agent is more expensive than the others, see if you can get their rate down.
7. Read the conditions of the contract.
Make sure you're pleased with all the fine print before signing anything. Don't hesitate to question things you don't understand or don't agree with.
8. Review your agent's performance.
After a couple of weeks for multi-agency, or towards completion of the tie-in duration for sole agency, assess your estate agent's performance.
Has the agent been marketing the property and working as hard as you expect?
Also request feedback from the agent. If you've not had watchings, or have actually had watchings but no deals, the agent can provide insight. It might be you're priced too high, or that there's a location of the property that might be beautified to encourage a sale.

Q: Why isn't casper.log logging anything? I want the following Casperjs script to open Google, search a term, and log the title of the page:
var title = ""
var casper = require('casper').create({
  verbose: true,
  logLevel: 'debug',
  pageSettings: {
    loadImages: false, // The WebPage instance used by Casper will
    loadPlugins: false // use these settings
    //userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4'
  }
})

casper.start('http://google.co.uk/', function() {
  // search for 'casperjs' from google form
  this.fill('form[action="/search"]', {
    q: 'casperjs'
  }, true)
})

casper.thenEvaluate(function() {
  // aggregate results for the 'casperjs' search
  title = document.title
})

casper.log(title, 'warning')

casper.run()

But outputs nothing:

[warning] [phantom]

What am I doing wrong?

A: There are two problems with your code.

*

*CasperJS is asynchronous and

*CasperJS (just as PhantomJS) has two contexts and the DOM context is sandboxed.

This should work:
casper.then(function() {
    var title = this.evaluate(function() {
      return document.title
    })

    this.log(title, 'warning')
})

or even this:
casper.then(function() {
    var title = this.getTitle()

    this.log(title, 'warning')
})

Sanchez Sees the Opportunity, the Responsibility
Senior Reporter
Four months and one day after the New York Jets selected Mark Sanchez with the No. 5 overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft, head coach Rex Ryan tabbed the 21-year-old as his starting quarterback.
"This comes with a lot of responsibility," Sanchez told reporters after today's practice as the No. 1 quarterback at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center. "I know as happy as I am, this is just the beginning and I'm really excited to get the chance to play with such great players."
In the Jets' two preseason games to date, Sanchez completed six of 12 passes for 127 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and he will make his second summer start Saturday night when the Jets "visit" the Giants. But today's decision meant he'll be the guy in Houston on Sept. 13 as the Jets kickoff their 50th campaign.
"This is something I've always wanted to do. Dreams are coming true now and it's a special opportunity," he said. "With that opportunity comes a ton of responsibility — to this team, this organization and to the community here."
At Southern Cal, Sanchez got accustomed to the spotlight last season while throwing for 3,207 yards and 34 touchdowns. He is heady and athletic, blessed with a strong arm, great feet and intangibles.
The Jets, assembling a package that included three veteran players and a pair of draft picks, moved up 12 spots in the draft to get him because they think he is a franchise quarterback. But there are no Washington States on the schedule and the pressure will mount from a fan base craving for a return to the playoffs and a second championship.
"It's an all-around job, on the field and off the field," Sanchez said. "Right now the task at hand is getting ready for the Giants and that means staying after and studying — just like I have, just preparing to be the starter. And now I'm the starter and right now I need to act like it."
Sanchez made his first pro start on Monday night in Baltimore. Facing an elite pro defense for the first time, Sanchez's first pass was returned for a touchdown and his second toss should have probably had the same result. There was also a pair of delay-of-game penalties and a bobbled handoff with Leon Washington in his two quarters of action.
But Sanchez's fifth and final drive of the evening resulted in a touchdown when he connected with Washington for a 19-yard scoring hookup.
"When you look at the game, there were some things that need to be fixed," he said of his action in the 24-23 loss. "Obviously, mental errors, delay-of-game penalties, things like that … but I think what the organization and obviously Coach Rex was really excited about was the way I bounced back."
The adage used to be that you can't win with a rookie quarterback. But that changed last year when Matt Ryan starred as a rookie in leading the Falcons to a playoff berth and Joe Flacco played solid enough to help the Ravens come within one win of a Super Bowl berth.
And the Jets have LG Alan Faneca, who experienced great success with a youngster in Pittsburgh as the Steelers reached the AFC Championship Game in Ben Roethlisberger's rookie year and then "won one for the thumb" in the signalcaller's second season.
"The decision has been made and it's a chance for us to move forward," Faneca said. "You move from training camp back to Florham Park and the transition kind of begins with that decision. Everyone was waiting, so we're slowly progressing to the season."
While Faneca will be there for Sanchez to use as a sounding board, the veteran lineman is not planning on overloading him with information.
"You give a little bit. You can't cloud the mind, you can't bombard him," he said. "You have to let a guy be who he is and find out who he is and who he wants to be. You can help guide him and push him in the right direction, but it's his journey."
This is an entirely new road for the Jets altogether as Sanchez is set to be the franchise's first rookie quarterback to open a season. But with a "Ground & Pound" offensive philosophy and a menacing defense, the Jets don't plan on putting too much on his plate.
"I've never started with a rookie quarterback," said FB Tony Richardson, who's entering his 15th NFL season. "It's a first time, but I think he has all the skills and abilities to be very special. It's all about the guys around him to help him be successful."

Commentary: It's Trump vs. The Establishment All Over Again
Since the "red wave" fizzled out, a consensus has quickly emerged in the media that Donald Trump is no longer a viable political force. The newly anointed prince of the Right, according to the tastemakers, is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump's more palatable, less chaotic protégé. But DeSantis and Trump offer two very different things. DeSantis is a conventional politician with Trump-like qualities, who can, at least according to his fan base, build a popular majority that is beyond Trump's reach. Trump is a radical outsider to a rigged, illegitimate political system with which he has been at war for seven years, and which his supporters see as an existential threat to their way of life.

Commentary: Trump Took a Sledgehammer to the Establishment. America Needs Him to Do It Again in 2024
Tucker Carlson, who seems to have his finger on the pulse of the America First movement, signs off his nightly Fox News show as "the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think."
The "lying" and "pomposity" surely represent the tactics of a Democrat/media complex who will stop at nothing — including using the power of the state to persecute their political enemies. President Joe Biden's reprehensible speech in Philadelphia all but confirmed it.

Commentary: The Establishment's Effort to 'Destroy Trump' Belies a Terrible Truth
August 1, 2022 July 31, 2022 Admin
For some time now, Michael Anton has been saying that the Establishment – Democrats tout court, of course, but also large swaths of the testosterone-challenged GOP – are dead set against allowing Donald Trump to run for president again. It's been obvious from its beginnings that the January 6 committee – an illegally constituted kangaroo court – was interested in one thing and one thing only: eliminating Trump and his followers from the metabolism of American political life. The fact that its public face is Liz Cheney, a soon-to-be cashiered anti-Trump RINO, underscores Anton's point, or part of it.
It's not just the Democrats who cannot countenance Trump. It is the entire certified political class, what Anton calls the bureaucratic "uniparty" that runs the government and maintains the Overton Window that determines what is and what is not acceptable in the political life of the country. Donald Trump is not in the picture frame.

Commentary: Establishment Republicans Snatch Defeat from Jaws of Victory Yet Again with the 'Infrastructure' Boondoggle
Having been in the D.C. area for over 20 years now, I've come to live by the maxim, "Always bank on the GOP snatching defeat from the jaws of victory." I was proved right again this last week when 13 Republicans in the House helped pass the $1.2 trillion "Gateway to the Green New Deal" otherwise masquerading as an infrastructure bill.
As I wrote back in August, only 23 percent of this bill is really for infrastructure. The other 77 percent is for things like the $213 billion "allocated for retrofitting two million homes and buildings to make them more "sustainable," whatever that means. Or the $20 billion for racial equity and environmental justice. Or the mileage tax, as in yes, they want to explore taxing you for every mile you drive in your car.
In the wake of an absolutely stunning clean sweep for Republicans in Virginia from governor to House of Delegates—in a state Republicans hadn't won statewide in a dozen years and where they've lost the last four presidentials—Republicans in D.C. just couldn't find the nerve to simply say "No." They couldn't "Just say no," kids. It is one of the most beautiful and underused words in the English language, but Republicans appear simply incapable of using it.

Mollie Hemingway Commentary: Taking on the Establishment
Before the 2018 midterm elections, Trump's political advisors were thinking about the president's re-election bid and noticed a curious commonality among incumbent presidents who didn't get re-elected: they all faced challengers from within their own party.
Five U.S. presidents since 1900 have lost their bids for a second term. William Taft lost to Woodrow Wilson, Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin Roosevelt, Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton. While each election is determined by unique factors, all five of these failed incumbents dealt with internal party fights or serious primary challenges.

Commentary: Now That Democrats Have Successfully Pulled Off Their 'Decapitation' Strategy, Will Americans Reward or Punish Them?
In their latest entry in their litany of hypocrisy, the Democrats are trying assiduously to suppress the very opposition strategy they engaged in during the Trump Administration.
It is ironic, and in many instances unnecessary. By and large, Republicans and populists would never engage in many of these political tactics. Nevertheless, the Democrats are trying preemptively to extinguish a Republican-populist version of their "resistance" by using the execrable and rightly condemned Capitol riot as a pretext to equate legitimate "opposition" with treasonous "sedition."
The Democrats' "resistance" was no organic, spontaneous uprising. It was a well-orchestrated political operation. Knowing what they did to undermine the Trump Administration, the Democrats know what they must do to stop it from happening to them. In other words, there is a history lesson the Democrats are trying to rewrite.

Commentary: The Empire Struck Back, but MAGA Will Strike Harder
I've written many times that I thought Donald Trump would win the 2020 election. The question always was whether he would win it beyond the margin of fraud and litigation.
Did he? It's touch and go. Television networks and even some foreign heads of state tell us Joe Biden won the election. The electors have yet to be appointed and meet to vote. Still, the forces arrayed against Trump are formidable. It's not just, as Joe Biden bragged, that the Democrats had put together "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics." That does appear to have been the case.
But if Donald Trump loses, it won't only be because of that "extensive and inclusive" organization. Perhaps more important is the ambient jelly in which that organization has operated. I mean the eructations of the swamp, or to give it a more cinematic name, "The Empire."

Commentary: The Pale Pastel Republicans for Socialism
The man was a walking political disaster.
He was "a minority of a minority" who "has been taking some extreme positions." His positions were "so extreme that they would alter our country's very economic and social structure and our place in the world to such a degree as to make our country's place at home and abroad, as we know it, a thing of the past." He was horrifyingly "foolhardy," and a Republican Party in his hands was headed for a certain "crushing defeat … that could signal the beginning of the end of our party as an effective force in American political life." The man was putting the GOP in "an impossible situation" because he was a "sure-loser in November" who held "extreme and too simple views."

Even in deep-blue California, it is possible to achieve the impossible. The technology to facilitate mass uprisings is mature and ubiquitous and will function with or without the complicity of the social media and search monopolies. The political realignment we are witnessing in California is not partisan, it is not conservative or liberal, Right or Left, or Republican or Democrat. It is comprised of old and young, rich and poor, black and white, and everyone else. This is a mass uprising.

Commentary: The Political Elite Plays Its Last Card
Every day, the battle lines are drawn more clearly for what promises to be a memorable election. The Democrats infamously lumbered the president with an investigation into his relations with Russia that they knew to be unfounded. Then they attempted a completely spurious impeachment proceeding (with no believable evidence that he had committed the alleged offenses which, in any case, were not impeachable).
And now, in response to a fortuitous virus pandemic, they purport to require President Trump to commit political suicide by shutting down the economy for so long that the soon-to-be 30 million unemployed will turn him out on election day.
It is another phantasmagorical expedition of a desperate political elite playing its last card, but it is an engrossing spectacle.

Commentary: Will the Republican Establishment Survive the Coronavirus?
President Trump will run whatever campaign he likes, but the playbook has practically been written for him: double down on the pro-worker, anti-globalization politics that won him his first term. Joe Biden, a barely conscious, Wall Street plutocrat – and a stooge for China, no less – is an obvious and easy foil.
Whatever happens this November, it is questionable whether the establishment politics that came before Trump will survive an unprecedented pandemic that is already testing the GOP's commitment to "limited government." The coronavirus has unleashed an enormous bi-partisan appetite for spending that is not likely to subside when the immediate health threat goes away.

Commentary: With Joe Biden's Comeback, the Establishment Comes Out of Hiding
Joe Biden's Super Tuesday comeback is something to be both relished and feared. It is an outrageous, grimly comical turn of events: a 77-year old man who refers to the Declaration of Independence as "the thing" and who seemed to be confused about his own last name is now a leading contender for the White House.
As funny as it may be on the surface, there is something dark and sad about Biden's rise. The Democratic Party establishment knows Biden is unfit for office. They don't care. With Biden, the political machinery that usually operates in hiding, in the shadows, has come out into the light, in aviator sunglasses and a sunny grin. The powers-that-be are declaring, openly, that their right to rule will not be reined in by anything, least of all the perception that they are incompetent and out of touch.

When the protagonist in Ira Levin's novel, The Stepford Wives, begins to suspect that other women in her Connecticut town are robots, she surmises:
That's what they all were, all the Stepford wives: actresses in commercials, pleased with detergents and floor wax, with cleansers, shampoos, and deodorants. Pretty actresses, big in the bosom but small in the talent, playing housewives unconvincingly, too nicey-nice to be real.
Which brings to mind the viral video of Mitt Romney reacting to his Twinkie birthday cake. Lack of ample bosom aside, Mitt is a great example of someone playing a housewife unconvincingly, too nicey-nice to be real. He is a Stepford-Wife Republican.

Know Your Customer (KYC) is the process of money service firms getting their clients' identity information. This information includes details such as the client's full name, physical address, citizenship, date of birth, and a photo of a government issued ID or passport. This data is important for firms in the money service industry as it prevents them from helping criminals launder money, fund terrorist groups, or take part in corruption.
It is true that financial regulators such as the SEC have tightened their clampdowns on firms that do not follow set rules. While this may seem unfair for privacy-focused crypto startups, this move aims to end the highly unregulated wild west situation in the crypto industry.
However, this step towards regulation has brought about other problems. After collecting KYC data, some crypto firms are reckless with the details and end up putting it out there for everyone to see. This puts the investors of such startups at great risks of identity theft and other crimes.
According to a recent report, a hacker going by the name ExploitDOT was hawking user data from the biggest crypto exchanges on a darknet market called Dread. The hacker group had had an ad advertising data that he obtained from KYC since July last year. ExploitDOT claimed to have hacked exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex, Poloniex, and BitFinex. The hackers sold the data as cheap as $10 for every 100 documents and went ahead to give discounts for buyers that bought the documents in bulk.
Binance and the other three exchanges denied that they had been hacked. However, ExploitDOT came out to state that Binance and the other exchanges never contacted the group to check whether the claims were real. As proof of having the data ExploitDOT posted hundreds of pictures showing different people holding the names of the exchanges on a piece of paper. The hackers claimed that they would discard the user data if they got a payment for deleting it.
An investigator recently published a blog post on Medium detailing how he discovered a crypto project that operated on WordPress. While running on WordPress is not a crime, the platform does not have the highest level of security, especially for a project that is conducting an ICO that needs KYC documents.
The documents were either selfies or scanned files.
Most crypto startups convince their investors that their teams have international experts in data management, business management, logistics, and IT. They then claim that the professionals would create secure blockchain solutions that would safeguard the given information.
Other projects offer airdrops once investors register. The airdrops attract a lot of people who quickly submit all the documents that the projects need without second thoughts.
When investing in crypto projects, it is wise to exercise due-diligence to avoid sharing sensitive information with companies that cannot store it safely. Research about the project you want to invest in and ensure it is credible. In the wrong hands, such sensitive information can cause a lot of damage. Criminals can steal your identity, your money, damage your credit rating or your reputation.
Do you suspect that your KYC information might have been leaked and used against you? Let us know in the comments section below.


I started watching Alex Becker's YouTube videos back in 2016. He taught me that a bunch of stuff online advertising, about entrepreneurship, and how to run a Shopify store.
It was right around the time that Alex published his book, The 10 Pillars of Wealth: Mind-Sets of The World's Richest People. I got that book as soon as I watched it and I proceeded to highlight it and then mark it up. In fact, I might go re-read it.
Actually, Market Hero isn't even his sole multi-million dollar business. The search engine optimization software development firm Source Wave was also founded by him and now he is running a supplement brandnew. He's also got a few courses out there from the marketplace teaching individuals to increase their lists and market more about Shopify.
Anyway, Market Hero is among the best email Autoresponders on the market nowadays and it is so much better than its rivals since it concentrates on in-depth sales metrics.
I have used a bunch of email autoresponder software through time, such as MadMimi and Drip. Drip was my favorite up before I started using Market Hero. Drip allows you to perform lots of cool stuff, like track your rates and label your readers.
But if you're anything like me, while you care about open rates and click-through rates, what matters most is SALES. Sales are the lifeblood of your business and earnings is what puts cold, hard cash in your pocket. Market Hero helps you track sales, plain and simple.
The service isn't amazing to the point where they supply you with detailed step-by-step videos and hold your hand through every step of the way, but it isn't terrible. Besides, if you want that level of hand-holding and coddling, possibly Market Hero is not for you.
Market Hero has English-speaking support staff available to answer your questions through live chat at no cost. You don't have to be part of any plan or package to have priority service, like some unscrupulous companies do. You just log in and start chatting.
On Market Hero's homepage You will see says,"4X Your Email Business With Unequaled Delivery and Revenue Metrics". This immediately set off my B.S. sensor because I understand how hard it is to 4X an email arrangement, especially if you're any good at what you are doing.
However, Market Hero offers a free trial, and so I figured I would sign up and see whether it was any good. I figured that I only require a small increase in sales for Market Hero to pay for itself and when it did 4X my enterprise, I'd be flying high.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure I do want to tell you that Market Hero has NOT increased my earnings 4X (yet), but I am gaining more sales than previously and Market Hero IS paying for itself. Easily, in fact. I had my own game tight and was already doing well, so I understood a 4X increase could be tough.
I know I already mentioned this, but the key to Market Hero is how it retains your customers' lifetime value (LTV) facing you at all times and it changes as you send out emails and tweak your autoresponder. Once you understand your customer worth, it's possible to literally"buy" customers. What Market Hero does is track every sale and each conversion for every single guide on your list. It averages everything together and gives you the stats you need to grow your organization.
If you're to do this manually, you'd most likely have to go through different programs, various spreadsheets, and go back through your prior sales. You may have to crunch on a lot of different amounts that you don't have anymore. Market Hero solves this problem better than anyone else available on the industry.
Let's say that I'm running two different opt-in campaigns for the identical audience. Anyone who opts-in into the very first effort is going to be tagged as"A" and anyone who opts-in into the second campaign will be tagged as"B".
Should you do so again and again, you can create a strong business as you will always be split-testing to see which kinds of people are worth more to your enterprise.
And getting this up and running is super-easy too. All you need to do is take the pixel which Market Hero gives you and put it in the areas that you would like to track. From there, Market Hero will keep tabs on all of your customers, sales, conversions, etc. to give you the data which you will need to cultivate your business.
I think that this is a wise move by Alex Becker since it indicates that he knows his market. He understands that the people who are seriously interested in making money on the internet are probably using things and he wants to be certain that his applications integrates.
My sole criticism is that lots of the software I use, for example OptinMonster and Thrive Topics has not been put in the"integrations" tab. That does not mean that you CAN'T incorporate them, because you can (you utilize Zapier to make them talk to each other) but it's not as simple as something like ClickFunnels or even Shopify.
The best method for me is that of The other autoresponders were created for email marketers. I have nothing against marketers that are email and that I send emails to my list on a daily basis, but their thinking has its own limits. Market Hero was built BY a business owner FOR company owners.
For example, one of the coolest features is the fact that it shows you how much each lead is worth. Imagine logging in to your email autoresponder and seeing that each lead is worth $6.87 for you. Meaning you could go out and"purchase" email addresses to create money. What you do is you purchase paid visitors from Google, Facebook, etc. and send that traffic into a opt-in page. You have a business that is lucrative if it's possible to find a for less money than it's worth. As you can wash and repeat as many times.
From what I have seen, certainly not. I think that At this time, by being a scam artist, Alex Becker has to lose. Businesses's running and he is smart enough to understand that if his reputation was tarnished by him, he would be screwed.
From what I have seen, people have complained about his refund policy. However, these individuals are the ones who have used Market Hero for weeks and attempt to get all their cash. These are the scammers. You are scum, if you aren't willing to cover for a service which may enhance your life and your organization. Plain and simple.
When I began writing this Market Hero review Was worried it went to lean a little too much towards Shopify entrepreneurs. That is why I wish to stress this Market Hero will help you in ANY business, not simply Shopify.
On his YouTube channel, Alex has posted a lot of different videos about Shopify. Once you get past the clickbait-style names, you discover he provides a whole lot of information on the best way best to make money. Part of this reason he does so is because he needs to get people to test out Market Hero because he understands it can help them with their Shopify company.
For instance, Market Hero lets you create abandoned cart sequences. Whenever someone starts the checkout procedure in Shopify (by entering their email) but doesn't complete it, that gets tracked in Market Hero. From that point, you get them back to complete their purchase and can follow up with that individual.
Depending on the analysis which you read, the average cart abandonment rate for an internet shop is usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80%. Are there people with abandonment prices? Sure, but this is actually the average.
Imagine that you have 100 people go through your checkout process and 80 of these individuals abandon your cart. This means you have 20 customers and 80 non-customers. Imagine if a cart recovery sequence got a 10% of this non-customers to purchase?
The motive Market Hero is so strong is because you're able to use tags and track LTV. When you link Market Hero to Shopify, it starts monitoring immediately. Buy tags are applied that show.
Imagine that you have a Shopify shop selling print-on-demand dog tops. If a person purchased a pug shirt, it would be silly to try and sell Golden Retriever things to this individual, right? But that's since they do not have the data in front of them, exactly what a lot of entrepreneurs are doing. Because Market Hero lets you determine exactly what the individual purchased, you can focus on selling just stuff for your pug customers.
You can totally geek out on this stuff. You can get as detailed and intricate as you like. In my own business, I use it to segment the subjects that financial advisors want to know more about. Since I market products that assist financial advisors GET customers and help them KEEP clients, if someone is interested in KEEPING customers, I do not need to bombard them since they would be immaterial. This person would eventually unsubscribe.
Oh, and in case you're interested, here's a movie of Alex Becker showing you ways to increase your Shopify sales 300 percent with Market Hero. Keep in mind that Market Hero can be used with ANY business, not Shopify.
Market Hero is an email software that is Wonderful because It is built for people that are attempting to earn money on the internet. If you haven't done So already, go around there, import your list and take advantage of the free trial.


After a long, heavy day of lectures and being hungover, the highlight of my day finally began at six o'clock: the LCN 2018 (League of Legends Championship Nijmegen)! This game competition, formerly known as the CognAC League of Legends Tournament, is an annual event organized by CognAC (the best study association in the world).
If you are reading this blog post and thinking, "I have no clue what League of Legends is???", watch the following youtube clip carefully: https://youtu.be/b556sdep9tI . If you already know all the ins and outs of LoL, you can skip it. Or still watch, do whatever you want, free country.
Before the tournament started I had no clue how League of Legends worked. I played a total of 2 games and lost them both, which of course didn't spark any further interest in playing. My only other contact with the game was some of my roommates yelling League-related terms and insults at each other. At first, I didn't think I would have a good time at the LCN, but I was wrong; I had a blast!
Because of my lack of knowledge, I decided to follow a group of friends/AI students that participated in the tournament. Their team name was Rick's Infinite Universe. They immediately ran into trouble in their first game. One of their computers didn't work and wasn't fixed in time before the game was scheduled to started. The decision was made to play the game 4 vs. 5 and they won the game with a massive defeat, but because they started too late, they lost by default. This game was showed on the big screen and I learning a lot from my fellow spectators. It was also during this game I realized that the beer served there only costs 50 cents! It was the panacea that could cure my hungover.
Fortunately for Rick's Infinite Universe, they had 5 working computers before the second game started. This game they dominated as well. One win and one loss, which meant that the final game was decisive whether or not they would continue in the tournament. Little did they know that their next opponent was of a whole other level. Rick's Infinite Universe lead a horrible defeat and their dreams of wining the LCN were shattered. Their final opponent was The Scientific Approach, which ended second in the overall tournament. Although Rick's Infinite Universe was out of the main tournament, but 2 side tournaments were also planned. An ARAM tournament and a Beerpong tournament. ARAM (All Random All Mid) is a game mode of League of Legends, the champions are chosen at random and the players fight in a single lane. Beerpong doesn't need an introduction, but if you have been living under a rock since the start of your Uni-life, https://www.wikihow.com/Play-Beer-Pong, there you go! The festivities went on until 4 o'clock, but I left a 12 o'clock because I had an early morning lecture (Jeej!).
This tournament is not only fun for the competitors, but also tons of fun for the spectators. Next year I will be back for sure, maybe I'll even compete. So, I hope to see all of you at LCN 2019, so you all can see me win. One game. Hopefully.
I did not participate myself.

DeSoto County District Uses Online Speech Therapists
A school district in Florida has made public its use of "telepractice" to provide speech therapy to students. The School District of DeSoto County in Arcadia adopted an online speech therapy service from PresenceLearning, which has a network of speech and language pathologists (SLPs) who make themselves available online when the student is ready for a session.
The district went this route, it said in a statement, when it couldn't find qualified people for staff positions. "The people who were applying for our SLP positions often did not meet the standards that we have for serving our students," said Debra Giacolone, director for exceptional student education. "We have high expectations and wanted to ensure that our student needs could be met. We chose PresenceLearning because they allow us to fill those needs and uphold our high standards."
The district has about 60 students in middle and high school now using the speech and language service. Overall, the feedback from students "has been positive," added Assistant Director Tammy Cassels. "We especially liked the idea of PresenceLearning for the secondary level students because they generally do not like to be singled out and pulled out of class for therapy. We thought this might be better because they can utilize the computer lab."
During the appointment, the therapist uses online video and audio to meet with the student through a proprietary Web platform that allows for sharing of documents, videos, and games. The student uses a webcam and headset to communicate with the therapist. A computerized tracking system reports on how well students are progressing to meet the goals in their individualized education programs.
According to the district, it's also possible for a PresenceLearning therapist to participate in a student's individualized education program meeting.
The company said it expected to conduct at least 120,000 live sessions during the 2012-2013 school year.

Hustling the Hype: The Life of A Streetwear Salesman
Amanda Burkett, Violet Vision Editor
LS freshman Matias Mollin, also known as Matias the Broker on Grailed, has stacks of vintage T-shirts on his bed and ready to be shipped out to his customers.
"I probably spend over $2,500 on packaging each year," Matias Mollin said. "I put it off sometimes, it's annoying to wait in line and fill out forms — especially for international."
Mollin goes to the post office three to four times a week. No he's not a mailman, and he's not sending letters home to mom. Mollin spends his time after class at the post office, shipping out goods worth hundreds and sometimes even thousands of dollars to customers all over the world.
Mollin may talk like a natural born businessman, he hasn't even started his business studies as an LS first-year who intends to pursue finance.
Although he looks unassuming in his white Air-Force 1s, black jeans, white T-shirt, black puffer jacket and circular brown glasses, Mollin sold a total of $26,000 in clothing and shoes in 2017; it was his best year — yet.
"My highlight was probably a 1997 Supreme Shark Tee that I bought for $200 and sold for $1500," Mollin said.
Before his sophomore year of high school, his only exposure to fashion was the seasonal J. Crew catalog jammed in his family mailbox. However, his interest exceeded the printed renditions of the high-end fast fashion brand that lined the closets of many Long Island homes where he's from. Eventually, his interests turned to luxury brands. His first large purchase — a crewneck sweater from Acne Studios for $210 — eventually became his first online sale.
"After buying it, I realized I wanted the money instead of the sweater," Mollin said. "That's how I found Grailed."
Grailed is an online buying and selling website for high-end menswear. Originally created to serve a niche group of guys on the hunt for archive designer collections, it has since evolved into a community of sellers with a variety of fashion tastes. After selling the sweater he no longer desired, Mollin began to observe a market that was only starting to grow.
"I realized people were making a lot of money selling hyped clothes — mostly hyped sneakers," he said. "It seemed easy, so I started doing it."
One of Mollin's two shoe racks that is filled with largely unworn sneakers.

Hyped clothes are any items that generate a massive following, such as of Supreme merchandise releases that garner massive lines. Items like these surface in limited quantities, which is what makes them valuable. Hyped pieces he considers to be safe bets — Supreme box-logo shirts and sweatshirts, The North Face or Louis Vuitton Supreme collaborations, Off-White Nikes and Yeezys. Mollin finds out release dates and information about less obvious items on Twitter and Facebook. At the start of his Grailed career, he learned about archive Supreme shirts through a U.K.-based Facebook group.
"I was looking at T-shirts that were worth around $100 in the U.K. but $300 in the U.S., so I began to import those and resell them for even more than they were selling there," Mollin said.
[pullquote speaker="Matias Mollin" photo="" align="left" background="off" border="left" shadow="off"]My highlight was probably a 1997 Supreme Shark Tee that I bought for $200 and sold for $1500.[/pullquote]
Mollin developed his eye for what sells and became a verified seller — a status determined by the Grailed operators similar to being verified on Twitter. He has since visited Grailed's headquarters in SoHo twice. He now sells on several other platforms including Depop and eBay. He decides where-to-sell-what based on the desired consumer and personal use. Mollin designates non-designer vintage and less expensive pieces for Depop or eBay. He saves luxury, curated and tasteful pieces, as well as hyped pieces, for Grailed.
"The hyped pieces go on Grailed, where the pieces will receive the attention they deserve, and so people don't tell me I'm pricing things too high," Mollin said. "On Grailed, people know what things are worth."
Mollin's friend Jarred Shango, also a Grailed and Depop seller, is cut from the same cloth. After meeting randomly in person, Shango offered to buy a rare sweatshirt off of Mollin's back. The two got to talking about other unique items, and Shango recognized Mollin from his Grailed profile. The rest is history.
Shango is a first-year student at LIM College. Using resale profits made on Grailed, Depop and eBay, he paid for his first semester of school and for his off-campus apartment rent.
"I started buying and selling in seventh grade," Shango said. "I saved up enough to pay for my first year of school."
Although Shango and Mollin essentially participate in the same sphere, their motivations starkly differ. Right now, Shango is focused on paying his rent and transferring to the Fashion Institute of Technology — where he could possibly go for free after establishing New York residency. Similar to Mollin, Shango is not interested in wearing the pieces he sells — just the money.
"A lot of the stuff I just buy because it sells," Shango said. "I don't buy anything I can't sell."
The consumers that throw their money at sellers like Shango and Mollin have different ideas of what is in style.
Mollin displays minimalist items of stationary — a mug from JJJJound, a perfumed eraser and custom pencils — all strategically placed on his desk.
Mollin differentiates starkly between his own taste and what his buyers like — it's all about the hype.
"Hype is just what kids will be excited about," Mollin said. "Basically all logo-heavy stuff, or anything endorsed by a celebrity like Kanye West […] This stuff is kind of the moneymaker because it sells for a lot and I'm not really interested in keeping it."
Rather than buying into the logomania for his own wardrobe, Mollin believes fashion is a form of art, not merely a way to show off. He recognizes that the items purchased from art brands won't necessarily sell for more, but will hold their value.
"Brands like Prada, Acne Studios, Dries Van Noten, Maison Margiela, Marni, are art," Mollin said. "I've never been into the logo-obsessed streetwear, really only the original archive stuff from the early part
of streetwear."
This is really how Mollin makes large profit — off of the hype that surrounds items. Although he capitalizes on streetwear hype, he abhors the people that buy into it. He shares sentiment for the future of fashion, hoping that people will realize the emptiness of dressing for the sake of hype.
"People get their hands on the most hyped thing, post in it, then get rid of it and look for the next thing," Mollin said. "It's kind of bad because yeah, you're making money — a lot of kids are making money off the hustle, but it's definitely very materialistic."
Back at his perfectly cleaned dorm room, Mollin has two shoe racks filled with largely unworn sneakers and a closet displaying the brands that he considers art, as well as token J. Crew pieces and vintage items. He has a large black trunk underneath his bed — equipped with lock and key — used to house his collection of archive Supreme that has since sold.
"I sold off all of my archive Supreme, before the prices were tripled or quadrupled," he said. "Most influencers and accounts were selling off their Supreme and stopped wearing it, so it was time for me to make what I could off that."
Out of the Supreme-branded items that Mollin has kept for himself, a bouncing ball with "Supreme" emblazoned in silver sits among the sea of his Carhartt beanies.
Among the many fashion books and magazines on his bookshelf is a stack of blank colored sweatshirts. Mollin said that recently he has experimented with making his own clothes. He makes clothes for his friends as a sort of gag and even for himself to fill voids in his wardrobe.
"I make bootleg stuff on the side for places I like in the city or at home on Long Island," Mollin said. "I just make a few embroidered blank sweatshirts and sell it to my friends — just for fun. I really like restaurant apparel. I can thrift stuff from random restaurants, but it's better to wear places you actually go to and like."
Mollin acknowledges, but doesn't buy into, the stigma around men wearing expensive clothing and investing in fashion, saying that fashionable men are essentially nonexistent in his hometown on Long Island.
"The hype around menswear isn't as simple as who makes your suit," he said. "It's about who makes your sneakers and your jeans and what labels you wear."
He devotes time throughout the week to reading up on men in fashion, noting the recent generational shift in menswear. Always bookmarked is the young Wall Street Journal men's fashion editor Jacob Gallagher, whose column embodies Mollin's two passions — business
and fashion.
"Wall Street Journal fashion articles get some terrible comments," he said. "Jacob Gallagher writes a great column for them, but there are some older readers that aren't ready to accept fashion in their newspaper."
Not only is Mollin making money, but he views his "hustle" as valuable business experience. Currently his ambitions are to have either a finance career or a menswear-buying position. To Mollin, pricing clothes is a mix of instinct and amateur market research. Mollin truly thinks like a businessman in that he profits off his opportunity and growing knowledge.
"There's a difference between what price to list things at and how much to actually accept as an offer," he said. "If you can figure out how to do it and make money at it, you should."
When asked if his resale vision is addictive, his response is without discomfort or hesitation: "I see price tags on everything."
