Hi. My name is Rod Khleif, and I'm the host of "The Lifetime Cash Flow Through Real Estate Investing" podcast. And every week, I interview Multifamily Rock Stars and we talk about how they built incredible wealth for themselves and their families through multifamily properties. So hit the "Like" and "Subscribe" buttons to get notified every Monday when a new episode comes out. Let's get to it.
Welcome back to Multifamily Rock Star. So this is where we interview people that are crushing it in this business. And today's interview is no exception. And we show you guys the inside scoop into how multifamily investors are creating massive success, not just in their businesses, but also in their lives. And as always, I've got my co-host who's the director of our massive action team for the warrior group, Mark Nagy on the call. What's happening, Mark? Well, yeah, I know what's happening. You're about to go on vacation, so you're pretty happy right now.
I am about to go on vacation. Yeah. Vegas. It'll be a fun trip, but, yeah, outside of that business as usual, same old, same old. Excited to again, see another familiar face less than a year after I met her. So excited to dive into this podcast.
Yeah. So today we've got– my email is beeping here. Let me turn that off. Today, we've got Candice Crawford, who is just a joy to be around. She's been to several of my events over the last year, and she's got quite an eclectic background. And I won't do it much justice, but I will say this about her. She's been with us less than a year. She's a General Partner at 124 doors in Houston. She's under contract tune 272 doors in Missouri. Got a best and final on another 134 doors. You know, all of these have warriors involved in them, which is just cool, and just really going to enjoy today's interview. Welcome to the show, Candice.
Oh, thank you so much. It's such an honor, Rod. Hi, Mark.
Good. That's awesome to hear you say that. And it's just such a treat to have you on because, again, I've enjoyed hanging with you at our events. And so we're going to have a lot of fun today. So why don't you give us a summation of all these really cool things? I mean, you know, whatever you think is relevant to this conversation, but a little bit of your background, which is very eclectic.
Okay. So basically, I'm an artist. I do kinetic sculptures, and I like to have the viewer be an integrate part of the piece. So you turn little cranks on my sculptures and things move. And it's like it's a moment of letting the child, like, within to come out and be kind of breaking the rules a little bit. You know, there's the whole phobia of like, don't touch the art. It's precious. It's not about that. It's about connecting with your inner self. And so that's what– actually, I got my degree in– my graduate degree and my Masters actually, which led me, ironically, all the way to being in real estate, which I never thought the two would have connected.
How did they connect? I don't even understand. I can't make that leap. How did that happen?
Well, I remember– well, when I went to graduate school, went to–there was this gentleman that walked around to our studio spaces. He wasn't a professor anyone. And he was looking for artists to work. And he came up and he said– he looked at me and we have our studios there, and you see all the art, and he's looking at my art, and he says, I need you to work for me. And I'm like, who are you? And then one of the other students, it was her boyfriend. And he actually was an artist that was working for a construction company that built artificial trees and rocks for Zoos. At that time, I was in New York City at graduate school. They were building the Central Park Zoo, and they were desperate for artists to carve the rocks. So at first, I was like, no way. I don't know what you're doing, what you're talking about. I have no experience. And then he said, look, just please, I can tell by your art. Come and I can teach you how to do it. And it was, you know, I was working freelance, trying to put myself through graduate school. So I was like, wow. When he told me how much money I would make, I was like, and it's consistent. I wouldn't have to keep chasing jobs. And they would work around our schedule at school because they were talking to multiple students. So I ended up working with 17 artists. And while I was putting myself to graduate school, I built artificial trees and rocks with the Central Park Zoo.
There, work from that, got hired to work at the Bronx Zoo and did quite a few exhibits there. Amazing experience to be behind the scenes with the animals. The Snow Leopards were my best friends every morning.
And, yeah. From that– New York City, I'm a country gal. I grew up in a little, tiny town called Short Pump, Virginia. And so from there, I came to Cape Cod on vacation, at the tip of the Cape Provincetown. And it was like the best. It was the best of a little city and fed the nature that I need for my own well-being, just being surrounded by the national seashore. So I moved here. And in the process of doing so in the early 90s, that's when the housing crisis started happening here, because investors, this is the first I learned that what, you know, multifamily or any type of real estate investor was, they were buying up these homes, and they were chopping them up and turning them into condos. People were making anywhere from $200 to $700,000 in buying a $100,000 house and just fixing it and flipping it.
So it was like, you know, local investors are like, I'm in on this. So they started just gobbling up the homes, and, you know, a lot of the local families saw the money that cash that they were offering, that that was a great deal. And they took advantage of, you know, that cash. So it created the housing prices. I had been working– I started my landscaping business, which is another eclectic thing that I do, hope the land basically. And what ended up happening was the– I was doing a lot of work for condos and saw that I really needed– I just need to get my contractor's license, you know. You just need to do it for commercial properties. So I took the test. Turns out that working at the Zoo provided me with all of the time that I needed in order to qualify, to even take the test.
Because you need some experience. That was the question I had. That's fantastic. That they let you use it.
Yeah, I was like, stated it. And, in fact, I qualified for the construction supervisor's license.
It was great. So that's, you know, I could be licensed to build a skyscraper.
And this is in New York. Yes?
No, this is in Massachusetts.
This is in Massachusetts, which is also a tough state to get licensed in. Right.
Yeah. It's not easy. And that test is not easy. I have to say.
So, yeah. So I got my license. About a year passed by, and at that point, the rents were so high here, they were more than a mortgage. And it was driving me crazy. So I had a dog. I had a landscaping business. The landlords didn't necessarily want to rent anyone that had a pet nor self-employed. And so I started looking around to buy and to buy a 100-year home, I would have to put the same amount of money into it, that I would if I just built a home. So I moved to the next tiny town over, bought almost an acre of land, and built my house for less than what I would have purchased a house that would need to be fixed up in the little town over. And that's how I discovered– I really like this. This is fun.
And now here we are.
So tell me–I know you joined our warrior program, like, less than a year ago, and you've just been killing it. Tell me how you found your spot in the business and your role in the multifamily business. Tell me how that happened?
I will say that was the toughest thing for me to determine, and that's because I am a Jane of all trades, and so I can do the numbers, I can easily to look at a property, as management. I was just like, a people person. What do I do? How do I narrow down what is my strength? And it ended up being in the best and final. Ironically, in Maryland. Not this, you know, this was a while ago that we didn't quite do it right, Rod. We got everything together, best and final. And we didn't have the money.
Just a little speed bump, you know.
A little scary. So we needed to be able to start connecting up with someone that could sponsor us, that had investors pulled to bring in the 4.1. I think it was million, in two days, so that we could confidently enter this best and final interview. So I was on the phone for pretty much 16 hours. You know, whoever would talk to me, whatever the day and through the Warrior program and connections found a sponsor that would be able to help us in that. We didn't get that deal, which was probably a blessing. And the people that did get it, my gosh, they came in, four people, JVs, and they bought it. It was a cash-flowing machine. It was a beautiful deal. But that taught me that the communication and the interaction with people, which is really strong on the syndication side because, in my landscaping business, I talk one on one with them to really understand what their needs are and see if I can create their gardens for them of what they're looking for. Not just your poster stamp garden. And that 30 years of experience of–
Yeah. Communication.
Our clients. Gave me the communication to talk to investors.
Okay. So your role is now investor relations, then. Yes?
Yes, it is. Yeah. Investor relations.
Okay, fantastic. No, go ahead, Mark.
Well, if you try to do all this starting on your own, what do you think that path would have looked like versus the team and all the relationships that you have now?
Well, first of all, remember, maybe not all the listeners, but the Tasmanian Devil. It would be a mess. It's an old cartoon with Bugs Bunny, and there was this character that every time he went anywhere, he was a tornado. And that's exactly what it would look like if I tried to do this on my own. There are too many moving parts, and I need to have a team and to help me do it because I don't know, if you've said that there was one person that did it, and I just–I mean, awful.
There's one. In fact, I just texted him today. He's buying a jet. But I'm going to tell you that he's in my mastermind because I said, hey, listen, I may go in on it with you. So we've been communicating today, but the point is it's very, very, very unusual, and there's some luck involved. Now, I don't want to take anything away from him, but, yeah, in this business is a team sport. But let me ask you this. What was your biggest hurdle in all of this, in the multifamily space? What was your biggest hurdle, you think?
Well, I had two hurdles. First, I'd say the biggest one, maybe three, which I just described and learning my role. Then the second hurdle was really trying to talk to people outside of this program about multifamily investing. I'm really shocked at the number of people that are completely unaware.
Clueless. Yeah.
And they think when you present it to them that you're presenting something that's a scam or it's illegal.
Oh, no kidding. Wow.
Yeah. To that point. And I realized, you know, your surroundings– who you surround yourself with is, you know, who you are. So I hadn't been in the multifamily realm, so of course, I'm talking to people that are not in that space. So that was one of the biggest hurdles. And for the life of me, the third one just escaped me.
Okay, well, that sounds good. I forgot what I had for breakfast. So don't worry about it. It's never pretty when you lose your mind. And I always do, daily.
I know what it was. I do remember now.
It's the very thing that's really important in this business is building a team. I've been a self-employed for 30 years, you know. My own business. I'm the boss. And that really was scary for me to think about building a team. Like, how would I do that? And, you know, thankfully, your program has really helped a lot with that because of the quality of people that you've brought in. It's the first time I've ever come into a group of people that we all are in the same mindset. And that's a beautiful thing.
It is a beautiful thing. I was just going to say the exact same. It is a beautiful thing. You know, when we get together, like at that last Warrior event and, you know, the goodwill and everybody wanted to help each other and, you know, people– everybody has a philanthropic you know thing they want to do as well, which is going to talk about yours in a minute because it's amazing. But go ahead and ask a question, Mark. I know you've got several.
Yeah, it could be yourself, it could be just what you've seen with other people. But what do you think is the biggest reason that keeps people from getting started and then just doing that first deal in multifamily?
Well, fear. However you look at your fears, fear of the unknown. I know for myself, you know I have an engineering mind, and if I don't know all of the steps and how it's going to work, I will keep trying to understand how it's all going to work. And multifamily taught me that every single deal is different. Just like when you do construction, every design of a house is different. It's all different. So I can't learn everything. And I'm also interacting with people. And in order to do that, you have to realize that every person, every new seller, every broker, everything is going to be different. So just learn the basics, you know, just the outline of the things that don't change. Underwriting, numbers, that kind of stuff, that I can know. But for the rest of it, I just had to step into the fear. And, you know, throughout my life, those opportunities, like I said, deciding to take that job at the Zoo, stepping into that fear allowed me to– leads me to the life, you know, right now where I am. And that, you know, I believe in the law of attraction and intuition and stepping into the fear and seeing now in hindsight how those are small little entities, the little steps I've taken that have led me to the path where I am today.
Yeah. Isn't that funny how that works? Even the setbacks. You know, you wouldn't be where you are if you hadn't had them. Right?
And I'm sure you can resonate with that statement. Yeah, no, now listen, what do I want to ask you? I actually want to ask you a couple more real estate-related questions. So now you know all the pieces. You know you can't do them all. Now you're in investor relations and you're building– and that's why, you know, I see you at all these events, because you're building relationships, which is critical.
But what is your definition of success, Candice?
I think my definition of success means doing what you love, and being happy at it. You know, having that joy, and that happiness. Yes, money allows us to have peace of mind, to be free, enough to enjoy our lives. But no matter what circumstances, you can still find joy at any moment, on any given day, no matter what's happening. And I think success is as long as you're trying, you're successful. Because if you're trying and doing something different, then success is a given. I believe.
Especially if you enjoy it. You know, if you're doing–you know, if you love what you do, you never work another day in your life, you know. That's why my wife puts up with me doing what I'm doing. And, you know, I know you and your wife– you have a giving heart because I know you adopted a sibling group of two boys and a girl, which is just incredible. I mean, it warms my heart like nothing else. You took three siblings in and adopted them. It's just beautiful. And I know you guys do lots of charitable work as well. You volunteer a lot. You've done, you know, garden space at your local community scanners in your elementary school, which is so cool because that's your business. You know, I don't want to steal your thunder. I am stealing your thunder. And I didn't mean to do that. But you do some amazing things. Talk about your community project with the group of senior women. Talk about that. That's cool, too.
This inspired me to do what, you know, eventually I want to do– once I get the multifamily, like, really rolling. So the community here, we have a community center and below budget for a small town. They were building a children's playground. And the actual–the kids of the local community, the board of selectmen, went in and talked to them, and the kids designed it. But in order to build it, we needed volunteers. And so I show up and there are so many senior women, they're standing and they're just so happy and excited, but no one's putting–you know, giving them tasks. And I walked over to them and I said, do you guys want to do something? Because one of the other contractors who knew how to, you know, build said, can you help us? And I'm like, yeah. And I'm like, what do you need? And he said we need all of these boards routed. So if anyone doesn't know what a router is it's a little round machine that just–
Oh, when I saw a router, I was thinking computer router. You actually put tools in their hands and you had to make and do some wood. Oh, I freaking love it.
Oh, yeah. Empower them. Oh my God. Guys, it was so fantastic.
Oh, I bet.
You know, the trailer, people who volunteered brought tools. So here I see a whole like, 12 routers lined up and I just walked up and I said, sign my name so you have to check them out. I said I want all 12 of those routers. And I motioned the women over, literally, I'm telling you, 80 and up. I don't even–
And they came over. I put a router in each of their hands. You should have seen their eyes. They lit up like little children. And I had to–you know, there were a couple of moments where there was a little– they did great, I have to say. I did a demonstration. I got each of them to do one little line and then I'm like, go for it. And then I stood there and supervise them like you do children with fishing bowls.
Yeah, it's not a bad analogy, actually. Now, I know, you know, you've gotten a lot of value from our program, from our Warrior program. What do you think has been the biggest value you've received?
Well, I think I finally found my people. You know, not to sound snobbish, but when you're an entrepreneur and rather intelligent and an artist and I tend to isolate myself because I like to think big. And if you're not around people that think big, they try to squash your ideas and I didn't want that. So I isolated to protect myself and would only find a few people to surround myself. And within two days of your first Warrior event, because I did only the virtuals because of where I live for the boot camp.
You forced us to network, which was horrifying for me at the moment. Thank you for that. That was incredible to make–
It's important. Yeah.
But when I realized when we started talking, we all were talking about the same thing, with the same amount of passion and enthusiasm. And it wasn't just– now, Rod, this is really key about why I joined your program. Your emphasis on your personal performance, you know, your self-development and your mindset. It's key to success in anything in life.
And to not have had that with this program, well, not for myself, but I think a lot of people would not continue. But to have that ability to know, to keep stepping forward, stepping forward, and challenging yourself allows when you get to a challenge in any different new property, you just like, okay, how are we going to work around this instead of being paralyzed by fear?
Yes. What a great example. I love what you just said. Guys, if you're listening and you have an interest in applying to the Warrior program, just text the word "CRUSH" to "72345". You can actually go to "RodKhleif.com" as well and apply there. But it's just–you know, the application is not a big deal. We just get your information. We set up a call and you see if we're a fit. We see if you're a fit. And we don't take everybody. But, you know, there's a reason my students have somewhere between 60 and 70,000 doors. Now we've lost count. I'm trying to keep track, but it's crazy. Every day seems like, you know, someone's announcing a new closing in our big Facebook group.
I saw two more just today and yesterday. Right? So it's all that's going on.
And on that topic, real quick of what Candice mentioned, it's so easy to get around people that have a negative mindset. I was watching a YouTube video just yesterday, like a quick 32nd video about multifamily success. 99% of the comments are all negative. People looking for reasons not to do it. And, oh, this doesn't work and you can't do it. You have to be a billionaire. All this. And then there's maybe 1% of the people that are positive and actually want to take action on it. And so it's so true what you said there. Getting around those like-minded people, whether it's with us or not. It's a game-changer of just people thinking bigger versus all these negative people out there in the world. And that's why there are only a few percentages of people that are successful.
You wouldn't believe the hate I get on some of my social media is like, good Lord, really? You're a loser capitalist. There's you know, I get stuff like that all the time. Oh, come on, seriously?
I have to say, Rod, that I actually– I had some people that I was forming friendships with, and when I said I was, you know, expanding to multifamily, I got pegged in that hole and we've kind of drifted apart.
It happens.
Yeah, it's sad that you know, that that happens, but, you know, I just want to draw attention to something else because you– I had no idea that you had an interest in this. But you're also– and guys, that's another thing in the warrior group. You know I teach, and I think it just attracts people that know we have two hands, one to pull ourselves up and one to pull people up underneath us. And so many people in the group are doing building schools, doing all kinds of amazing things. And, you know, I know you want to create a nationwide nonprofit for young single moms to learn basic construction. That is so freaking cool. I love that, Candice. And then real estate investing as well, to help transform their lives and leave legacies for their families. And, you know, that really resonates with me because I pretty much had a single mom as well. My dad came into the picture late, and he wasn't much of an influence, my stepdad. And so, you know, I love, you know, anything to do with single moms and have an affinity for them. And I know you want to help people with addiction and do some other things as well. You have big dreams, and it's just very, very cool. So, you know my hats off to you, Candice. And I'm so freaking proud of you. What you've accomplished already in one year, it's just really very, very cool. Well, listen, it's been a real treat to have you on the show, and just so impressed with everything you're doing in your heart and, you know, you're a real inspiration to other people that want to get into this business. So thank you for coming on. And Mark, it was good to see you, brother. And we'll see you all soon.
Thank you both.
All right. Take care.
Have a nice flight.
Rod, I know a lot of our listeners are wanting to take their multifamily investing business to the next level. Now, I know you've been hard at work helping our warrior students do just that using our "ACT" methodology which is Awareness, Close, and Transform. Can you explain to the listeners how they can get our help?
You bet. Guys, we've been going nonstop for three years building an amazing community of like-minded people, and our coaching students which we call our warriors, have had extraordinary results. They've purchased thousands and thousands of units and last year we did over 1000 units with our students. And we're looking to grow this group and take it to the next level. We're looking for people who want to follow a proven framework that's really step by step and then leverage our systems and network to raise equity, to find and close deals, and to build partnerships nationwide. Now, our warrior community is finding success in any market cycle. So if you're interested in finding out more about how you can become more of our incredible network and take advantage of the incredible opportunities that are coming very soon, apply to work with us at "MentorWithRod.com or text "CRUSH" to "72345" so you can check us out and we can check you out. That's "MentorWithRod.com or text "CRUSH" to "72345".

Caso você queira duas animações no estado hover de um elemento use apenas uma animação com propriedades e valores em keyframes distintos (10%, 35%, 75%) ao invés de usar "from" e "to", que são equivalentes a 0% e 100% .

Where Do You Stand? Inspiration Is A Choice!
SOURCE – The part of you that knows what peace, love and connection is.
ESSENCE – The part of you that knows what you really need and value.
WOUNDING – The part of you that was hurt, disrespected, or disappointed.
PERSONA – The part of you that lives by the stories, expectations, approval of others.
HOOKS – The parts of you that act without thinking – your habits, reactive behaviors (this includes all habits and additions from food to arguing, to hiding, drinking, and controlling others).
Your greatest joy, inner strength and peace will always come from the first two "layers." You can assess any situation and how you are relating to it by asking yourself 5 simple yes or no questions.
SOURCE – Am I acting out of a true sense of highest good, non-attachment and compassion?
ESSENCE – Am I acting with integrity in a way that truly reflects who I am inside?
WOUNDING – Am I reacting from old emotions?
PERSONA – Am I reacting to serve the expectations, approval or control of others?
HOOKS – Am I falling into an old automatic pattern or bad habit?
If you answer "yes" to 3, 4 or 5, then it's like time to ask yourself what it would take to do things differently so that you could answer "yes" to 1 and 2.

Startups Built By Studios Are Beneficial For Startup Founders Health
Venture Studios have been there and done that - and can reliably output products while still providing the ownership of a business partner.
Imagine building a new house and instead of hiring a construction company you find four friends and decide that you can accomplish the entire build using Youtube videos and your Dad's power tools.
Moreover, you're going to take on this venture with just an architect drawing you drew yourself and about $10,000 saved up from friends and family. Sound crazy?
Is it Possible to Eliminate Startup Risk?
Building a software company in a niche market is just as crazy as thinking your four friends can build a house.
Without experience and proper tools, the odds of success are low. With many of the software tools having freemium models and the simplicity to launch a product - it makes many entrepreneurs believe that the Zuckerberg story is possible for them too - but this is an incredibly risky venture and one that commonly leads to immense stress and frustration.
There is a way to eliminate much of the risk while still obtaining the original entrepreneurial goal of freedom.
Becoming an Agency.
When an entrepreneur starts a construction company, oftentimes the first few jobs are small house additions or bathroom remodeling. Over time, the scrappy founder will gain experience and knowledge while growing the team into building entire houses - eventually even a restaurant or two.
What is important is that the owner and the construction workers learned processes along the way that each team member can build on. Shared learned experiences that compute confidence in their craft.
Each process becomes a practiced skill. As team members teach team members the collective group starts learning together and speed and efficiency quickly follow. This process is no different in software.
Each product has a login screen, a forgot password screen, a profile screen, and a set of user permissions. Each time a team member completes the process of planning and coding the entry screens of an application the entire collective company becomes more efficient.
As a principal in need of a team to accomplish a task, isn't it better to hire the team that has experimented 50 times on a product similar to your software idea (or your house) than to try and hire a young entrepreneur to experiment on your product? We think so too…
What is a Studio?
A venture studio is a team of people that have created repeatable processes of building software products. The products can be for startups, fortune 500 companies, or the nearest construction company.
The main purpose of a venture studio is that the team has cycled through thousands of iterations of testing ideas and turning them into products - some of which are stand-alone as profitable businesses.
The unparalleled advantage of Studios is that most are building software products for themselves AND clients. Why is this so valuable?
Well, have you ever gone to a dentist with no teeth? Or hired a landscaper that can't cut their own lawn? Well you shouldn't appoint your girlfriend COO either. Venture Studios have been there and done that - and can reliably output products while still providing the ownership of a business partner.
Ownership Over Clients
Back to the Construction Company analogy. When a construction company gets really good at building McDonald's Restaurants and a new McDonalds is franchised in the next town - of course the same Construction company is going to get the first call. The owner will explain all of the random code violations he has avoided by building his previous McDonalds and how he will promise to avoid them for you too.
Software companies should never take on an interface they don't understand. If your company decides that their fast growing startup needs a CTO to manage the software - why hire a first time CTO? An alternative process would be to hire a less expensive Product Manager and then assign that person to manage a Venture Studio.
The Venture Studio will take pride in the idea and work as if your product was their startup. The Studio will act as a CTO, Development Agency, and Product Manager isolating the core essence of your product and build with speed and efficiency. The Studio will provide advice and direction as they have walked the road you're traveling many times before - and avoided the potholes.
Studios Build Companies
Studios will recommend software that is modern, scalable, and transferrable. This allows the Studio to be a simple transition in your vision. After the MVP is built, you might realize that the product has enough cash to support both the Studio and an in-house engineer to take on support and maintenance. While Agencies typically build for sale, Studios build for scale. Adding an engineer is very common especially at NineTwoThree.
Currently our latest Venture Dishare has the following structure. CEO, CTO and Studio. The CEO works closely with NineTwoThree to develop the direction and application while the CTO manages the codebase and infrastructure of the backend. The Studio builds the mobile apps according to best practices which will eventually be managed by the CTO. This means that the CTO must work closely with us to ensure that our backend calls are supported - but this sense of ownership from both sides allows our teams to create products that look and feel like a Unicorn.
Are You Ready To Build?
If you have a great idea for a digital product able to make a significant impact in the business world, reach out to the team at NineTwoThree. We provide the technical skills and industry domain knowledge to help transform your idea into a successful new business. Connect with us to discuss your ideas and learn how we can make a difference together.
Why Startup Studios Are Minimizing Risk Through Diversification
Startup studio models are proving to be more risk-averse. The question is how and whether you can replicate it in your own business - we explain it here.
How Do Studios Like Venture Studios Fund New Ventures?
One of the biggest misconceptions about venture studios is they function much like incubators or accelerators - but they fund their ventures differently.

THEYA Healthcare (www.theyahealthcare.com) an award winning Irish company which designs and manufactures healthcare garments, has announced that it has secured €665,000 in funding.
The funding, raised from "private angel investors" and Enterprise Ireland, will facilitate the expansion of the company into the U.S. market, said a release.

The company also announced that it has signed a deal with the Greenhealth Exchange (GX), a U.S. purchasing co-operative which specifies, screens and sources high-quality sustainable and ethically sourced products for its members, and supports their purchasing through the GX catalogue.
This deal will see THEYA Healthcare become a preferred supplier to eleven large U.S. Healthcare systems including the Mayo Clinic, Dignity Health and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical.
THEYA Healthcare, headquartered at NovaUCD, the Centre for New Ventures and Entrepreneurs at University College Dublin, was formally launched in 2015 by Ciara Donlon.
Its post-surgery lingerie range, designed primarily for use by breast cancer patients and which uses bamboo as a primary meterial, currently retails across Ireland, the UK, mainland Europe, Australia, Canada, South Africa and the U.S.
Keep up to date with the latest news with The Irish Echo
CEO Ciara Donlon said: "The signing of this deal with the Greenhealth Exchange opens up the U.S. healthcare market to us at a pivotal time in our expansion. The securing of this funding of €665,000 will be used to fund our reach into the lucrative U.S. market and to create a number of new sales and marketing roles to help achieve this goal.
"This coincides nicely with our range becoming available on Walmart.com later on this month."
In 2017, Donlon was named Laureate for Europe in the Cartier Women's Initiative and was shortlisted for the EY Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
Donlon is also one of 30 women who recently completed a seven-day Debra Ireland Arctic Challenge. The aim of the annual challenge, which involves six full days out on the snow, is to help raise awareness and money for children living with the painful genetic skin condition EB (epidermolysis bullosa).
"I had a truly amazing experience in the Arctic to raise badly needed funds and awareness for DEBRA Ireland. We lived off the grid with no running water, electricity or heat for six nights and camped out in sub-zero temperatures on the fifth night.
"The discomfort and hardship we experienced does not compare to the pain it is to live with EB or to see a loved one suffer from EB. I hope this amazing challenge will encourage more donations to DEBRA and more sign-ups for next year's planned challenge. They are now taking volunteers and for the first time it is open to men to take part," said Donlon.

One good set of headphones?
I've moved house recently and now have neighbours (unfortunately) so have to reconsider my listenening habits. I don't actually play music very loudly generally but occasionally it is nice to do so, but with new neighbours the volume I listen too has to be reduced.
So I'm looking to buy (for the first time) a decent pair of headphones that will replace listening to speakers for those louder listening sessions.
I have looked and read many reviews but because of my location it will be practically impossible to go and audition any at all. I'll therefore have to buy on spec. which is a little bewildering considering the vast choice available. The headphones will be for home use only with a head amp and maybe via an ipad.
I think I'd prefer 'open backed' and an 'around ear' design as I'd like to keep my ears free from pressure. I'm not bothered about them being 'wireless'.
Price wise will depend on whether I go second hand or new so maybe £200.00 new as a rough idea.
I've read good things about Sennheiser Momentum and other Sennheisers, Philips Fidelio X2 and numerous others on 'Headfi' but can I ask, if I were to buy one pair of headphones that fit my criteria, what would they be, and what amp? I like the reviews and facilities offered by the 'iCAN' amp. Thoughts on this?
They are starting to go out of production, but I have several headphones and like the sound of my less expensive Status Audio OB-1's best. The fit is very comfortable and the bass is excellent. Overal balance presentation is more laid back and not fatiguing. They only cost $60 new although prices are rising. I have DT-880-250, HE-400i, Sony MDR-V6, and lots of IEMs. You need an amp. Lots of choices but I am biased towards SE Class A amps. If anywhere you should use Class A, it is with headphones.
Be sure to purchase a set of headphones you can try on. Most "over ear" type nowadays are not true over ear, they sit on part of it and cause discomfort, some rather quickly. I have an older Sennheiser HD570 that is fabulously comfortable, oversized cups with a cloth covering, the comfort is worth any price. I'm not sure what would be the equivalent model nowadays, but you really can't go wrong with Sennheiser. Also, there are "open" and "closed" back headphones, the open ones bleed sound, but are considered to generally sound better. Closed phones are to not disturb someone sitting next to you.
I'll not be able to try on any headphones easily as I'm in rural Northumberland, so quite away from anywhere that sells headphones. Frustrating really but I could waste a lot of time money and fuel traveling around just trying them out. Might be in London for a city break in the near future however.
The HiFI Man H400i look interesting with some great reviews comparing them to Sennheiser HD6** and Oppo PM1's . With the right amp the H400i might be ideal. Around £200.00 on eBay at the moment!
Any thoughts on the iCAN headphone amp? I'd like to try the cross-feed facility and the bass boost. Or is it better to go for Class A (SE) as has been suggested?
For a first pair of headphones, you can't really go wrong with Superlux HD668B. I've only just recently outgrown mine, having developed a much more transparent DAC and amp. They're on Amazon at UKP35 but a bit cheaper on Taobao.
Personally I've never enjoyed closed back headphones, even with the higher ended ones like Denon D7000, JVC DX1000, ATH W5000. Last time I tried the over-hyped Sennheiser Momentum 2, and my god, they sucked big time! All of them have the same 'echo' sound of closed earcups. Seems to me I'm always a opened back lover.
Just don't believe in anything from HF. They are a bunch of hype lovers. The site quality went down dramatically many years recently, especially when the admin guy switched to Huddler to squeeze more cash.
They are very easy to drive with my portable xDuoo X3. That was also one of the strong points. The bad thing is that you need a better cable, oem cable is pretty ****, too stiff and the cable is prone to cracking at the connector.
Beyerdynamics DT770, DT880 and DT990 really have outstanding tonal balance and quality. Really neutral, and also a pleasure to wear. They also fit your description of "open backed" and "around ear"!
I own a pair of DT770, which are the cheapest of the trio, at an amazing quality/price ratio. I would really recommend those. They also come in different impedances, so if you'll mostly listen through a good headamp you should ideally go for the 250 ohms version, but there is also an 80 ohms version.
I think the ipad should be perfectly able to drive the 250 ohms version. My phone, a Sony Xperia XA1, is perfectly capable to drive them to decently loud levels.
Just my 2 cents... Good luck!

The Something Awful Forums > The Finer Arts > No Music Discussion > AC/DC: Heard it once, heard it 16 times.
Synthetic Hermit
mega survoltage!!!
The definitive working class band, AC/DC (aka Acca Dacca, The Thunder from Down Under) has been unlike any other rock band for 40 years now. They've never changed their style (hard rock, not metal as some say, though the band calls it just good ol' rock & roll), shy away from celebrity, and understand that people just want to hear the hits, get drunk, and get laid.
The image of the band, and the only permanent member (see News section below), Angus is the dwarfish, mumbling, chain-smoking lead guitarist known for his mean, blues-influenced style, school uniform, and hyperactive stage antics. He never stops moving, and looks as though he's been hypnotized by the music. He's said that when he bends a note, his whole body bends. His climactic spasm came to be when he tripped over a cable (less of a problem nowadays, as he's used a wireless system since 1977) and tried to cover it up.
Malcolm Young (1953 - 2017 )
The founder of the band, and rhythm guitarist, known for his hard, grinding chords (having been inspired by the sounds of machinery during his factory work days). He calls the shots, looks like he's never washed or cut his hair, and relies on an old 1960's Gretsch Jet Firebird (though he's occasionally played a Gretsch White Falcon as well).
The lead vocalist since 1980 (also on lyric duty until 1988), known for his gut-wrenching screaming, strong Northern England accent, and flat cap. He's the de facto spokesman of the band, always cheerful, and a bit mischievous. Originally with the English band Geordie, he loves cars, especially vintage racing cars.
Cliff Williams
Bass guitarist since 1977. Tallest member of the band, and second most talkative after Brian, whom he sometimes gets together with for one-off or charity shows (they both live in Florida). Appears to have been wearing the same kind of jeans since the '70s.
Drummer from 1975 to 1983, and again from 1994 to now. Nicknamed The Terminator and known for his simple, machine-like groove, he's the tough guy of the band. Likes fast cars and helicopters, smokes while drumming, and has been known to do drugs.
Notable past members
Poet, ladies man, boozehound, legend. Life was a party to him, but the party couldn't last forever. Died in 1980 in a freezing car from alcohol poisoning (him choking on his vomit is a myth).
AC/DC's original singer. Replaced by their bus driver Bon in October 1974. Never appeared on an album.
Bass player from 1975 to 1977. No relation to Dave. Replaced by Cliff during the Let There Be Rock tour for several reasons, one of them Mal wanting somebody who could do better backing vocals.
Drummer from 1983 to 1988. Replaced Phil who was fired by Mal after recording Flick Of The Switch for erratic behavior related to drug use.
Chris Slade
Drummer from 1989 to 1993. Hired after Simon left the band to join Dio.

The band recently finished recording their sixteenth studio album at The Warehouse studio in Vancouver, BC (SoloDallas inside the studio, part 1 and part 2). Brendan O'Brien will again be producing (hopefully, he gets more power out of the band than he did on Black Ice... ). A tour is tentative, but probable. Brian has said that the plan was for 40 shows to celebrate 40 years, but that may be expanded due to high demand.
The occasion has been marred by the illness of Malcolm Young, who has been forced to "take a break". He has been replaced in the studio by his nephew Stevie, who also filled in for him during part of the 1988 Blow Up Your Video tour while he was in alcoholic rehab (according to Maximum Rock & Roll, he had a fondness for Stone's Green Ginger Wine).
It is not known exactly what's affecting Malcolm. Whatever it is, he's had it since at least 2012. Brian recently revealed that Mal has been hospitalized. It's unclear as to whether Stevie will have to also take Malcolm's place on tour.

I have zero interest in new AC/DC material and honestly think they only have two albums that are good all the way through (Highway to Hell and Back in Black), but goddammit are they an important band to my musical development. I listened to songs from AC/DC Live an ungodly number of times in my early teens and will turn up every single one of their horribly overplayed singles when they come on the radio. I was really worried when I heard about Malcolm's health because I would love to see a farewell tour but do not have the money to blow on one yet (although it would be even worse if we never got one due to an untimely death, of course).

AC/DC was at its best near the end of the Bon Scott era. Let There Be Rock is a solid album, and their stuff through to Highway to Hell is classic. Then Back in Black is awesome but really that was it. They had a hit or two in For Those About to Rock and Thunderstruck but oh my god anything after Back in Black is just so bad.
AC/DC Live is a really solid live album though.

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, Big Bird.
AC/DC is one of those bands who pretty much puts out the same song over and over again. But it's a pretty good song, so I don't mind.
Incidentally, if nobody here has ever played the Thunderstruck drinking game, they're really missing out.

No one has absolutely no idea how psyched I am for a new album and tour. I made a thread back when Black Ice was released and went to one of the first shows on the tour. It still stands as the best night of my life since it was the first time I got to see them live since they became my favorite band back in the 90's.
I really hope Malcolm gets better soon. I didn't know about his nephew subsituting for him in the BUYV tour, so that's interesting!
Also, nice OP, but you missed Bonfire, Backtracks, and their live albums; 1992's aptly-title Live being the CD that made me fall in love with them.
If You Want Blood is no slouch either, even if the Glasgow concert is incomplete.

I did say selected discography. Mostly to keep the size down, but also with the live albums, no matter how well produced, you're missing at least half the experience. That's why I showed so many live videos/music videos rather than mere studio tracks.
Here's Repo Man, the first single off Phil Rudd's new album Head Job:

You can really feel the attitude Phil brings...sorta reminds me of the Ballbreaker album.
New Brian interview. Talks cars and the band situation. The album is fully finished. He says they're definitely touring. Still not sure on Malcolm's participation.

Powerage is an awesome album. Well every Bon Scott album is pretty good, but It's my favorite.

We must never speak of this!
Bon era AC/DC still holds a big place for me, having an older brother who listened to very little other than it had it in my head since I could remember, I still remember him blasting The Razor's Edge back in 1990 when I was 6, because it's the first album I was aware of them releasing and it being 'new' it still feels like a 'new' album to me in a dumb way, despite being 24 years ago.
Also because I don't think I have listened to any of their albums after that because can't be hosed.
Still want to do a meaner, heavier version of Walk All Over You. Also I know Mark Evans, kinda, we have chatted a few times.
I'd like to share What's Next To The Moon from the European Vinyl version of Powerage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71AeKHXIrQM
As the video description says:
It had a 'harder' sound than the CD version, with small variations in vocals and/or guitar tracks, and occasionally extra sections and longer or shorter fades.
One of the most marked differences is the exclusion of the bluesy coda on "Down Payment Blues."
The first cassette issue of the album also features this mix.
The album was later remixed for the American market, with the new mix replacing the original European mix, and becoming the global standard.
I would most definitely track down a CD version of this mix with some cash...if it existed.

Black Ice is one of those underrated gems that had a lot of material which held up very well live.
To me, the entire project hinges on Malcolm Young. If this is an AC/DC project with sort of Young's participation I'm not sure how interested I am in sitting through it.
Recently picked up original vinyl releases of 'Dirty Deeds', 'Powerage' and 'Let There Be Rock'.
Happy times, listening to it properly.

I read this before and forgot to link it: Phil Rudd says the album was recorded in a mere ten days and says it's "stunning".
http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/201...s-finished.html
Title is "Rock or Bust". Here's a small preview of one of the songs, Play Ball:
https://pressroom.turner.com/us/tur...on#.VCMg3xac2Sp
Partially cleaned up - https://soundcloud.com/user764386094/acdc-play-ball
An extended preview will occur Sep. 27th on TBS, and will be used to promote the 2014 Major League Baseball playoffs. Reminds me of how WWE used "Spoilin' For A Fight"...

It's really sad to hear about Malcolm and it just makes me even more glad that I went to see him in action during the last tour. This album will be an interesting listen indeed. Pre-ordering it the first chance I get.
Longer Play Ball sample. Still obscured by voiceovers, though...

Best Band Ever. I am loving psyched for this album. I didn't really like Stiff Upper Lip very much, but I loving loved Black Ice. If this album is half as good as Black Ice, then I'll probably listen to it non-stop for the next year. Hell, even if it's bad, it's still an excuse for them to tour again.

A fine choice. Still my favorite album ever.

I think my pick from highway to hell would be shot down in flames, and for the Brian Johnson era just pretty much the entirety of flick of the switch.
A music video has been shot for Rock or Bust's title track. Early info at link below.

Also, the full version of "Play Ball" should be available later this week.

"Jailbreak" was and is their best song by a long shot:

AC/DC's Vevo accidentally uploaded Rock or Bust's title track in place of Play Ball!
Aw, they found out!
MAN! That's the most powerful they've sounded since the Ballbreaker album! Only problem with it is the generic (even for AC/DC) lyrics!
Here's a good quality upload of the full version of Play Ball.
IMO, sounds like a Black Ice leftover with better mixing and solos. It's got groove and decent punch, but, well...
In any case, the title track totally pwns everything on Black Ice and most of SUL - that title track had a way more addictive groove.
Play Ball has apparently been released on iTunes in the U.S., so if you want it, come and get it!

acdc.com updated with album pre-order info and track list.
I finally gave in and listened to both songs. Compared to their other songs, I don't really care for Play Ball at all. Maybe it will grow on me, but ehhhhhhh. Rock or Bust, on the other hand, now that is more like it. Much more of a memorable groove...for AC/DC in 2014 anyway.
Those two songs reminded me of the criticisms I've had for the band since Ballbreaker: where are the fast songs? The last "fast" song they put to tape was Fire Your Guns from The Razors Edge. In 1990. Since then, it's been the same plodding, mid-tempo blues beat on their studio albums. Don't get me wrong, my least favorite AC/DC tracks are a hell of a lot better than a lot of band's best songs, but c'mon boys: up the tempo a little and inject some energy into it. I want more stuff like Landslide, Brain Shake, Nick of Time, This Means War, Heatseeker from Live, etc.

Safe In New York City is pretty fast...

I was thinking of including that and Give It Up from the same album, but the other songs I mentioned before are closer to what I would like to see the band record again.
I'm still going to pre-order the album. I just know they have the energy to make a few more uptempo songs. Comparing Landslide and This Means War to their newer songs is like night and day.
Seriously, Landslide is crazy underrated.

Q: Weird slow queries after update RDS from 5.7.26 to 8.0.21 We have ~500dbs having ~110 tables each. DB was running on t2.medium instance for multiple years. I noticed that IO was growing gradually and reached not really nice avg values of 220-250 iops. So we decided to update db instance to t3 gen (medium as well) and move to v8 of mysql.
Migration was done by creation ro-replica instance and promoting it to master instance. A few parameters were added but all 5.7 values were preserved (no values were changed intentionally). It was running for a 1.5 weeks (before promotion) as a slave so we ensured it works fine. After the promotion, we monitored aws resources and everything was exactly as expected — io load a little bit less than before, memory and cpu resources are consumed in pretty similar manner. General performance of our service is the same fast at that time.
After ~4 hours of working in a role of master we noticed horrible performance issues (the simplest queries to retrieve 20 rows from the table having 20 rows could took 10-20sec). We disabled all cron tasks, queue consumers, etc. We checked amount of incoming http queries and it was ~40-50% of our max values as migration was intentionally scheduled to quietest day and time. Reboot of RDS instance didn't help. A quick and dirty solution which helped to get relief is upgrade an instance to t3.large having 8gb rather than 4gb of previous one. But the weird detail here is the amount of free memory of 4.4Gb once new instance started. Obviously eventually it was wasted with caches but that took ~5 hours. Despite the fact that instance is bigger and has more memory, we still experienced multiple times more slow queries (limit is 5s) than we had before migrating to Mysql 8.0. We introduced several new indices, increased buffers/pools, number of cached table definitions — that helped a little bit, but still far from values before migration (1-3k slow queries per 24h vs less than 10).
The most weird detail now for me is queries: they don't filter millions of rows but damn slow.

I would see some weird pattern of slow query postponed/blocked other queries if start_time would mean completion_time :/ Totally weird to me.
Small explanation to the picture: table set_general has just 2 varchar columns 1-20 chars long. There are 20-80 rows in total, depending on db. Table cron_tasks has <10 rows and 4 varchar columns 5-10 chars long. I assume that fetching all records from such tables must be extremely simple and fast task.
Another page of slow logs:

Looks like one heavy query blocks others. Why? Also, there are a lot of Prepare rather than actual query which is weird to me.

I would like to thank Mary Sperry for her patient replies to the questions. I found the comments (particularly about the the publication of the Textual Notes, the possibility of an alternative set of notes, and the phasing out of end notes) to be fascinating.
Had we not dilly-dallied, we could have been there and back twice by now!
I'll be honest. I only reviewed the Binding of Isaac. I didn't search the whole NAB (or even all of Genesis) for dilly-dally. In the NABRE, that is rendered "delay."
Thanks to Mary and to Timothy for this post. "Theological sophistication" is used to explain the notes of the NAB?NABRE? Geeze then how do you explain +-clergy and university professors who can be found among those who are anti-NAB/NABRE notes?
I for one cannot wait for the African Anglicized edition which condsidering its source should be an excellent edition with solid notes.
Thank you very much for your time; it has been most illuminating, even if I respectfully disagree with some of the positions taken.
Also, I was actually complimenting the NABRE on removing some of the more jarring vernacular (I used "dilly-dally" as an example, but I misremembered the passage it occurred in: indeed, it was Gen 43:10), and, overall, obtaining a much more dignified prose than the NAB OT.
I must say I am pleased with the changes I have seen in the NABRE, but I still cannot make this my primary Bible for devotion and study. Don't get me wrong, I do see the advantages of having a translation that is easier to read, understand, and publicly proclaim (sort of like a Catholic equivalent to the NIV, if you will excuse the bad analogy), even if the translation style is more dynamic than some of the more formal ones.
I personally am not holding my breath in seeing any official Bible from a conference of Bishops that is going to hold a candle to the Haydock Douay Rheims Bible. I do expect that there will eventually be an official Hebrew/Greek/Latin norm Biblical text with notes in Latin, mandated by the Holy See for conformity in all Bible translations for private study and liturgy in every language of the world, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. Here, translations could be made from the original languages, but the official Latin interpretation would serve as the guideline, and the notes would help explain the meanings of difficult passages in light of the historic cultures and the Magesterium.
I like the NABRE, which at least, suggest the different points of view of scholars.
I was expecting the names of other scholars, so I can learn why the phrase "Let the children com to me..." appears in the same way in Mathew, Mark and Luke, as an insertion, and gives the impression that the children are the ones who want to be close to Jesus, but the reading says of the fathers who bring them to Jesus.
We in the catholic church practice the baptism as the people of Israel practiced the circumcision in the Bible, when a name was provided.
We are catholic as the Jews were Jews, thous the different parties, views, problems inside the communities.
I would like to echo those before me who thanked Mary for answering more of our questions!
I assume that there are no verses with more than 9 notes!
There also seems to have been a re-labeling of the cross-references. Do they re-start at "a" every chapter now in the print editions as well as the online version? For instance, the cross-reference at Mt 2:2 in my NABs pick up at "m" because the last cross-reference in Mt 1 is "l". But online and on my Kindle NABRE that note is marked "a".
