Principals of highly effective schools are well-respected leaders not afraid to serve their teachers and students. They lead by example but avoid intruding on their teachers' unique teaching methods. They listen to their students' ideas and set a cooperative tone. However, they have the courage to make unpopular decisions when warranted. A principal's influence is far-reaching, as proven by a study published by the Wallace Foundation; it states that school leadership accounts for 25 percent of a school's success. For this reason, principals are held to high ethical standards and are required to adhere to a strict code of conduct.
Makes Ethical Decisions
Principals should make all their decisions based on the best interests of the students. Ethical principals never put their interests above the greater good of the schools they serve. They are fair in their disciplinary actions for both staff and students. They are champions for due process and respect the rights of all human beings.
Honors Commitments
Principals must stand by their word. They need to honor all aspects of their employment contract. Unethical conduct includes abandoning the job and leaving the position without a mutual agreement in place to do so. The welfare of the children is the highest priority, and failing to provide adequate supervision on and off campus equates to total disregard for the position held.
Abides By Laws
Principals are not criminals. Felonies and misdemeanors are considered in violation of ethical conduct. Principals must disclose any acts that result in criminal and civil charges against them. They must carry themselves with the highest integrity and avoid careless decisions that result in violations of the law.
Maintains Professional Boundaries
Ethical principals refrain from inappropriate conduct and relationships with students and staff. These activities include making obscene gestures, snapping compromising photos or having intimate relations. This type of conducts includes all forms of communication. Text messages, phone calls and social media interactions that are deemed wrong by the school board can result in the principal's termination.
Objective Leadership
Principals should empower all staff members and students to reach their maximum potential. This is done by allowing teachers to practice reasonable educational freedom without interference by a biased principal. This also means allowing students to be creative in their educational pursuits by honoring their commitments to their own culture and heritage.
Principals must apply active and passive honesty. They should never directly lie to anyone. They must never withhold vital information that should be made public. This is also a form of lying. They must also report acts of alleged abuse to the proper authorities. Failure to do so puts more children at risk from a free abuser. Children trust their principals to take care of them, even when they become high school students who want to pretend they don't need anyone.
Universal Standards
All states govern their own ethical policies. Codes of conduct may differ in content, but, at their core, they stand for the same things. A principal should always be honest, fair, law-abiding, objective, supportive and protective even when the students don't want him to be.

What is the Difference Between Printing and Embroidery?
Personalised sportswear has become a popular choice among sportsmen and sports clubs. Manufacturers like Zapkam have a major role to play in this.
They provide easy customization options online.
They provide an online 3D Kit Designer for free to enable sportsmen and sports clubs to design their own sportswear.
They enable sports clubs and sports teams to place their team's or clubs and sponsor's logo, and the team members' names, numbers, and initials.
They enable sports clubs to set up their club shop online, thereby removing the hassle of maintaining a brick and mortar club shop and coordinating with manufacturers almost every time someone places an order.
They offer size trials, wherein sportsmen can have size samples delivered to their doorsteps.
They offer a smorgasbord of sportswear and sports equipment, covering almost every kind of sportswear.
They offer a variety of design templates as well.
They provide a range of options such as cut and sew, and sublimation, and printing, and embroidery.
Today, in this blog, we will be discussing the difference between printing and embroidery.
First, let us understand what these options are majorly available for. You receive these options after you have selected colours for various elements of a particular style of sportswear while using a 3D Kit Designer online. It is after this step that you are requested to add your team's or club's logo, followed by the options of printing and embroidering. These repeats while adding a sponsor's logo, and team members' names, numbers and initials.
Now, the question arises, which one should you go with, printing or embroidery. Here we help you solve that dilemma.
Print, also known as sublimation, involves the procedure of sublimation dying the club's logo onto the special toretex material. On the other hand, embroidery involves the procedure of stitching the club's logo on the garment. It is interesting to note that in printed sportswear, logos and other details are still embroidered on the sportswear around the outside.
While printing is a new style used by numerous professional clubs these days, embroidery, on the other hand, is still the most used form of club logo application.
Sponsors logos stand out in printing, while embroidered sponsors logos will never peel off or start fading away, and you will never have to replace your sportswear because of faulty sponsors logo.
When it comes to numbers and names, printing will provide lightweight numbers that would stand out more on the back of the shirts, while embroidering will offer maximum durability, and personalization on all items.
With these lines of differences, we hope it will be easy for you to choose between printing and embroidery.
Despite this, it is advisable to collect more details from your manufacturer before finalizing either. Manufacturers like Zapkam offer detailed information on their website, thereby easing the entire process for you.
Before signing off, we would like to mention that most manufacturers do not accept returned personalised sports kits, so make sure you gather all the required details and choose the option that best fits your needs before placing the order.

Eighth Circuit Finds Coffey Delivery Inadequate to Constitute a Return
December 23, 2020 by Keith Fogg Leave a Comment
Coffey v. Commissioner, No. 18-3256 (8th Cir. 2020) reverses a fully reviewed and heavily fractured decision of the Tax Court. The case spent approximately eight years in the Tax Court getting to a decision and almost three years in the circuit court. We wrote about the Tax Court case here, here and here primarily focusing on the heavily split decision and what it means when no clear majority of the Tax Court exists. Based on the difficulty the Tax Court had in deciding the case, it's safe to say the issue presents plenty of challenges.
Yesterday, I discussed the Quezada case in which the Fifth Circuit overturned the district court which overturned the bankruptcy court in deciding that the information provided in Mr. Quezada's Forms 1040 and 1099 sufficiently provided the IRS with the information it needed for backup withholding meaning that these two forms essentially served as the Form 945 Mr. Quezada should have filed to report backup withholding meaning that the statute of limitations on assessment for backup withholding ran by the time the IRS made thee assessment. Today, we look at whether a return was filed based on an entirely different set of facts but also considering whether information on one return could satisfy the requirements of another. Like Quezada, the circuit court reverses the lower court but here it reverses a decision holding that the ersatz documents satisfied the requirements and holds that they do not. Both cases involved the statute of limitations on assessment.
The Coffeys claimed residence in the US Virgin Islands. This time of year many of us would like to be residents of the Virgin Islands and not just for tax reasons. For 2003 and 2004 they filed USVE returns which consisted of complete Forms 1040 and numerous other schedules and forms. Although they did not file the returns with the IRS, the USVI's Bureau of Internal Revenue sent to the IRS the first two pages of their return for each year as well as the Virgin Island and "regular" US Forms W-2. The returns and W-2s were sent to the IRS about five months after receipt of the documents. These documents were sent to the IRS pursuant to a process which would cause the IRS to send to the Virgin Islands any overpayment that would otherwise have been refunded to the Coffeys.
The IRS did not just send to the Virgin Islands the Coffeys' refunds for the two years. It audited the documents it received and issued a notice of deficiency for the two years. The notice went out in 2009 well more than three years after the years at issue. The IRS took the position in the notice that Judith Coffey had never qualified as a resident of the Virgin Islands and therefore could not claim the special credit available to VI residents. The fractured Tax Court decision held that the statute of limitations for assessment of their US taxes began upon receipt of the pages of the Form 1040 sent by VI to the IRS. Of course, the IRS took the position that receiving a portion of the Form 1040 from the VI taxing authority did not constitute a filing of a tax return with the IRS and consequently did not trigger the running of the statute of limitations on assessment.
Section 932(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code requires that Virgin Island non-residents must file their tax return with both the IRS and the VI taxing authority. The court notes the statute of limitations on assessment does not begin to run until a taxpayer files a return. The IRS, as in Quezada, argues for strict construction of whether the statute of limitations bars the IRS from assessing.
The Coffeys made two arguments in support of their position that the statute had run. First, they argued that the sending of a portion of their return to the IRS by the VI taxing authority met the filing requirement. Second, they argued that the filing in the VI alone met their US tax filing requirement.
As in Quezada, the case of Commissioner v Lane-Wells Co., 321 U.S. 219 (1944) ends up in the first paragraph of the court's analysis. The Eighth Circuit says:
Returns are "filed" if "delivered, in the appropriate form, to the specific individual or individuals identified in the Code or Regulations.
Quoting from Commissioner v. Sanders, 834 F.3d 1269, 1274 (11th Cir. 2016) which was quoting from Allnutt v. Commissioner, 523 F.3d 406, 413 (4th Cir. 2008).
The Eighth Circuit also quotes from Lane-Wells:
The purpose of filing requirements "is not alone to get tax information in some form but also to get it with such uniformity, completeness, and arrangement that the physical task of handling and verifying returns may be readily accomplished.
The Eighth Circuit cites to an earlier decision by it in Heckman v. Commissioner, 788 F.3d 845 (8th Cir. 2015) which it describes as a similar case to Coffey. In Heckman the taxpayers did not report some taxable income and the IRS learned about the failure during an unrelated audit of the taxpayer. When the IRS issued a notice of deficiency more than three years after the return filing, Heckman argued the statute of limitations barred the notice because of the actual notice of the IRS; however, in Heckman the Eighth Circuit held that even though the IRS knew about the income, that knowledge did not start the running of the statute of limitations on assessment. In making that holding the court said that the statute started running only when the taxpayer's return was filed.
Here, the sending of the information from the Virgin Islands did essentially the same thing as the related audit of Mr. Heckman. It provided the IRS with actual knowledge but not with a filed return. Here, the Coffeys even made clear they did not intend to file a return with the IRS and they failed to follow the statute for return filing by non-Virgin Island residents. The court also pointed out that in sending a portion of their return to the IRS, the Virgin Islands did not act as an agent of the Coffeys:
That the IRS actually received the documents, processed and audited them, and issued deficiency notices is irrelevant for statute of limitations purposes. See Heckman, 788 F.3d at 847–48. The IRS's actual knowledge did not create a filing. The statute of limitations in section 6501(a) begins only when a return is filed. Because the Coffeys did not meticulously comply with requirements to file with the IRS, the statute of limitations never began.
In their second argument, that filing with the Virgin Islands counts as a filing with the IRS, the Coffeys were aided by an amicus brief filed by the Virgin Islands. This argument turns on the Coffeys' genuine belief that they met the residence requirements of the Virgin Islands. They argue that if they had a good faith belief they were VI residents filing their return with VI satisfies the return filing requirement and starts the statute of limitations within the US. Not so says the Eighth Circuit:
The taxpayer's "subjective intent is irrelevant" in determining what is an honest and genuine return. Citing In re Colsen, 446 F.3d 836, 840 (8th Cir. 2006).
Colsen involved a taxpayer who filed a late return and waited two years before filing bankruptcy seeking to obtain a discharge. In the bankruptcy world the Colsen case involves the minority view of whether a taxpayer can file a return after the IRS has made an assessment pursuant to the substitute for return procedures. I have written glancingly about Colsen on many occasions and most recently here. The Eighth Circuit explains that Colsen dealt with whether a document met the test to be a return and had nothing to do with whether a document was filed. Applying that logic to the Coffeys' situation the Eighth Circuit finds that the honesty and genuineness of their returns has no bearing on whether the returns were filed.
The Eighth Circuit judges decided the case without the fracturing that occurred at the Tax Court. Maybe non-tax lawyers have the advantage of being a bit removed from the law on which they are ruling. They seemed to have none of the angst present in the Tax Court's decision in Coffey and set out a bright line rule relying heavily on prior circuit precedent.
The creation of a bright line rule certainly benefits the IRS in administration. It can argue that if a taxpayer does not follow the rules it creates with regard to return submission do not constitute the filing of a return and benefit from all of the downstream effects of that result. The IRS would have the knowledge of the return and be able to react to the return at its leisure. Situations may exist where the IRS knowledge and its practice with regard to acceptance of a return may make a closer case or make another court less comfortable with the outcome.

A few days ago, Salman Khan shared a video on his Instagram profile, in which he could be seen shaking a leg with Prabhudeva, Sajid Nadiadwala and Sudeep. Salman, Sajid and Sudeep lined up as Prabhudeva taught them the basic dance moves of Urvashi, one of his popular tracks, from 1994 film Kadhalan (Humse Hai Muqabala in Hindi).

Q: Split a dataframe in two and change variable name only of one of the two dataframe (setnames) my data looks something like this
df <- data.frame("Reporter" = c("A", "B", "C", "D","E","F"),
                 "Val" = runif(6, min=-1, max=1), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
print(df)
  Reporter         Val
1        A -0.73660420
2        B -0.42937474
3        C  0.33622319
4        D -0.04887796
5        E  0.18333113
6        F  0.42065791

I would like to split the dataframe in two. Creating a new database where Val is changed to Pos. The problem in doing so, is that it also changes the name Val in my original df. While I would like it to remain the original Val.
pos <- df%>%filter(Val>0)%>%setnames("Val","Pos")
names(df) #It changes also the name of the original database df
[1] "Reporter" "Pos"

Is it possible to change only the name in Pos using setnames? What is the more intuitive and efficient alternative?

A: You can use a single line in base R:
pos <- `colnames<-`(df[df$Val > 0,], c("Reporter", "Pos"))

Here's a full reprex:
df <- data.frame("Reporter" = c("A", "B", "C", "D","E","F"),
                 "Val" = runif(6, min=-1, max=1), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

pos <- `colnames<-`(df[df$Val > 0,], c("Reporter", "Pos"))

df
#>   Reporter        Val
#> 1        A  0.5208991
#> 2        B -0.4968299
#> 3        C -0.4692309
#> 4        D  0.2960035
#> 5        E -0.1099399
#> 6        F  0.0360583

pos
#>   Reporter       Pos
#> 1        A 0.5208991
#> 4        D 0.2960035
#> 6        F 0.0360583

A: Using setNames:
df <- data.frame("Reporter" = c("A", "B", "C", "D","E","F"),
                 "Val" = runif(6, min=-1, max=1), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

setNames(df[df$Val > 0,], c("Reporter", "Pos"))

#>   Reporter       Pos
#> 1        A 0.7660045
#> 2        B 0.2164235
#> 3        C 0.4912267
#> 5        E 0.4441980
#> 6        F 0.5605368

Brunswick senior running back Michael Gottlieb is expected to carry more of the load with junior starter Jalen Madison expected to miss Saturday's game against Trinity-Pawling due to an ankle injury.
Brunswick School knows what it must do to play postseason football — win out.
That's the situation the Bruins are in following last week's 17-14 road loss to Erickson League rival Avon Old Farms School. One loss can hurt a team's chances of qualifying for a NEPSAC championship bowl game. Two losses makes the task much tougher.
Heading into Saturday's 4 p.m. road game against Trinity-Pawling School, the Bruins are 6-1 overall and 4-1 in the Erickson League. Avon Old Farms is 5-1 in Erickson League play, while Taft, which Brunswick beat, is 5-1 in the league.
The Bruins didn't have much time to reflect on their defeat against Avon Old Farms, nor could they afford to.
After playing Trinity-Pawling, the Bruins will host Williston-Northampton in their regular-season finale. Victories against both teams should earn Brunswick a NEPSAC bowl bid.
Where?: Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, N.Y.
Series history: Since Brunswick and Trinity-Pawling began playing each other in 2007, Trinity is 8-3 against the Bruins, including wins the past two seasons. Trinity topped Brunswick in 2017, 40-35, and beat Brunswick in 2016, 31-20. The Bruins defeated Trinity-Pawling each season from 2013-2015, while the Pride won the first six meetings between the squads (2007-2012).
Always a physical team with a lot of size, Trinity-Pawling has enters the Erickson League matchup with a record of 3-3 overall and 2-3 in league action. The Pride have given the Bruins problems in the past, having beaten Brunswick the past two seasons.
Led by junior quarterback Donte Williams, Trinity-Pawling runs a triple option — an offense that requires discipline and gap control to contain.
A 40-35 setback against Trinity-Pawling last season was one of the reason's why Brunswick didn't qualify for a bowl game in 2017. Both squads made big offensive plays throughout last season's matchup, so the Bruins' defense, sparked by senior linebacker Nick Villis, junior defensive lineman Howard Powell, junior cornerback Kevonne Wilder and senior linebacker David MacGillivray, must play solid, assignment football.
Last week's game against Avon Old Farms saw Brunswick junior quarterback Nick Winegardner exit the matchup in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle. Senior Fin Signer replaced him and threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to senior wideout Cornelius Johnson.
Junior Jalen Madison, who has rushed for more than 600 yards on the season, also injured his ankle last week and is not expected to see action against Trinity-Pawling.
Senior Michael Gottlieb carried the Bruins' running game with Madison sidelined against Avon, gaining 117 yards on 25 carries. Johnson had 62 receiving yards with one touchdown in last week's loss.

The gentle sound of the qin zither is familiar from Chinese classical music, and the instrument itself has an extremely long and storied history. This lavishly illustrated volume focuses attention on the seven important qin zithers, which date from the period between the late Middle Ages and modern times, featured in the Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art. Yang Yuanzheng, one of the leading experts on qins in the world, traces the history of qin instruments, which are currently understood to originate in the Bronze Age, and describes three eras in the development of the qin zither and its cultural environment. He carefully analyzes the construction of the instruments and questions earlier assumptions about their age and origins. Yang's insights, the cultural significance of the qin zithers and the unique nature of the instruments in the Freer and Sackler make this volume essential reading for art historians and music archaeologists, as well as lovers of this instrument itself.

MCA Consultation on MLC amendments
Circular No: NP/264/16
TO ALL SHIPPING AND OFFSHORE BRANCHES AND REGIONAL COUNCILS
Our ref: S1/1 S5/2
Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) statutory consultation on amendments to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)
Further to circular no. NP/263/16 of 9th November 2016, the MCA issued a consultation last month on proposed amendments to the MLC.
The first set of amendments result from relatively minor changes to the MLC made at international level, through the International Labour Organisation. These tighten the rules around shipowner liability for meeting costs in the event of seafarer abandonment, repatriation, occupational injury or death. The enforcement of these new rules will also be added to the list of responsibilities for flag state inspectors checking international vessels for compliance with the MLC.
The second set of amendments, described by the MCA as 'additional,' concern the UK's existing interpretation of the MLC in specific areas. Some of these, such as Amendments 2, 3, 4 and 6 are technical corrections and relatively uncontroversial.
Amendments 1 and 5, however, may have detrimental effects on seafarers, for the following reasons:
Additional Amendment 1 – MLC Medical Certification Regulations 2010
The MCA say that this amendment is required to 'clarify the duty on seafarers to provide complete and correct information to ADs [Approved Doctors] at their medical examination.' This amendment has the potential to provide shipowners grounds to challenge occupational injury or sickness payments to seafarers who were not aware they were suffering from a long term condition, for example, before going to work at sea.
We are also concerned by the MCA's frequent production of amended lists of Approved Doctors in recent months and how the closure of Marine Offices will affect seafarers' access to information on any updated statutory duties that apply to their regular medical examinations, including the ENG1 renewal process. Comments from Shipping Branches and individual members on this proposed amendment are welcomed.
Additional Amendment 5 – Merchant Shipping (MLC) (Minimum Requirements for Seafarers etc) Regulations 2014 regulation 50
This refers to seafarer entitlement to payment of wages for a period of 16 weeks if they are sick or injured at work, as set out in MLC Standard A4.2 (Shipowners' Liability). Shipowners made no complaint about the MCA's interpretation of this MLC Standard during the consultation period in 2012, whilst RMT and Nautilus argued at the time for sick or injured seafarers to continue to be paid beyond the 16 week period if they remain sick or injured, including for periods beyond the end of the tour of duty which would cover temporary or agency staff.
This issue has been regularly discussed by the maritime unions, shipowners and the MCA at the Tripartite Working Group on the MLC over the last year, without agreement. The shipowners (four ferry companies operating in the UK) claim that the current drafting of Regulation 50 could cost them £4m and would jeopardise the future employment of UK seafarers. RMT and Nautilus argue that this is a slur on seafarers and that the development of CBAs to establish a company by company arrangement would clearly undermine the MLC's status as the minimum international standards for employment and welfare for seafarers. Your comments on this contested Amendment would be extremely helpful in arguing the union's case.

The MCA consultation closes on 5th December and any comments on it to d.crimes@rmt.org.uk before that date will inform the union's response.
It would be appreciated if you could bring the content of this circular to the attention of all branch members and you will be advised of further developments.

Hina Khan, who is busy shooting for her show Kasautii Zindagii Kay, managed to take out time to meet her former Bigg Boss friend Priyank Sharma and his rumoured girlfriend, Benafsha Soonawalla. They went on a dinner date.
The three it seems had a whale of a time together and indulged in some insanely delicious desserts. Priyank shared an Instagram story, where Hina tells him to take her video from a distance as she fears looking distorted.
They missed Hina's boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal, who is currently in London for a film that he is producing.
While Hina and Priyank continue to remain thick friends, it seems their friendship with another BB mate Luv Tyagi has turned sour. Recently, Luv unfollowed the two of them on his Instagram account. This created headlines and a lot of noise in the industry.
However, Hina passed off the matter by saying that it is something that happens between friends. She even wished Luv on his birthday, despite the rumours.
Luv, on his part, clarified that he doesn't like to follow too many people on his account. Hence, he chucked Hina and Priyank out. He is currently promoting his music album.
Hina was seen with Priyank recently in an episode of Arjun Bijlani's Kitchen Champion as well.

Q: Django cronjob not running I am trying to create a cronjob from a custom Django command.
When I run the command manually, it works perfect. Exactly what I want. The only thing is, that I want it scheduled (twice a day). But when I put the exact same command in crontab -e it doesn't work?
Any suggestions?
Crontab -e:
# Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron.
#
# Each task to run has to be defined through a single line
# indicating with different fields when the task will be run
# and what command to run for the task
#
# To define the time you can provide concrete values for
# minute (m), hour (h), day of month (dom), month (mon),
# and day of week (dow) or use '*' in these fields (for 'any').
#
# Notice that tasks will be started based on the cron's system
# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/marvin/VulnScanner/manage.py pentest 3

Running just this command works fine:
/usr/bin/python3 /home/marvin/VulnScanner/manage.py pentest 3

A: Ok, I've found the solution.
The crontab was actually running (as I tought), because te log said so.
But I was using a executable in my python file, which crontab could not find. This had to do something with that crontab doesn't have PATH by default.
The user shell does look in path for the executable. Crontab doesn't.
You can fix this by adding at the top of your crontab:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

I've appended this to my cronjob, to get the output of my python script:
 >> /home/user/cronlog.log 2>&1


A living trust is an estate planning document designed to avoid probate proceedings, which can be expensive and time-consuming. A living trust can also provide a more private way to pass on assets. This is because living trusts are not public record the way probate is.
You, the grantor, may create this document so that one person, called a trustee, can manage your property for another person, called the beneficiary. In many cases, you do not need to appoint someone to be your trustee. A living will is created while you are alive, so you can be both the grantor and the trustee.
The items you place into a living trust are up to you. However, they may include assets from your bank accounts, non-retirement investment accounts, personal effects, business interests, real estate and others.
Although there are many benefits to creating a living trust, there is a notable amount of paperwork involved with setting it up and adding assets to the trust. Still, a living trust can be worth the paperwork because it offers estate planning benefits that other documents, like a will, do not offer.

If you want to buy a home but don't want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on interest and make mortgage payments for the next 30 years, you have options. You don't have to take on a traditional 30-year mortgage, and you definitely don't have to pay all the interest that comes along with one. The amount of interest that you would pay on a typical 30-year mortgage for $200,000 at 4.5 percent is nearly $165,000. That's a lot of money. Following are a few strategies for reducing your interest payments and getting out from under your mortgage sooner rather than later.
Most mortgages are for 30 years, but not all of them are. You also have the option of financing your home for 15 or even 10 years. While your payments will be higher for a shorter mortgage, you will pay less in interest over the course of your loan. So more of your money will go towards the principal balance. If you can't afford a shorter mortgage in the beginning, you may be able to refinance for more favorable terms later on.
Paying extra on your mortgage each month can save you a gargantuan amount of money and will shorten the length of your loan. Paying an extra $200 each month on the above mortgage will shave 8 1/2 years and $52,756 in interest off your mortgage. If you can pay an extra $1,000 each month, you can have your mortgage paid off in just a little over 10 years. These are examples on both ends of the spectrum, but the point is that paying extra toward your principal balance, no matter how much you can afford, can have a huge effect on how long and how much you end up paying.
When you take out your mortgage, you will have the option of making bi-weekly payments rather than monthly payments. If you pay bi-weekly, you will end up making an extra mortgage payment each year, which may not seem like much, but it really adds up. On the above mortgage, you would save nearly $30,000 in interest and take 5 years off your mortgage.
You don't have to feel stuck with a traditional, 30-year mortgage. You have repayment options. The more you can pay each month, the quicker you will have your mortgage paid off. Plus, you will save lots of money that would normally go toward interest.

South America's industrial-ag powerhouse eyes rainforest potash deposits
By Tom Philpott on May 21, 2008
I've been writing for a while about industrial agriculture's fertilizer problem — about how mass-scale food (and biofuel) production relies on finite, geopolitically problematic, and environmentally destructive resources to maintain soil fertility. (See posts here, here, and here.)
Well, that story is heating up down in Brazil, an increasingly important hub in the global industrial food system. Brazil ranks as the world's second-largest soy producer (soon to overtake the U.S. for the top spot), third-largest corn producer, and leader in coffee, orange juice, and sugar.
According to a must-read Reuters story, Brazil policymakers and farming magnates are getting nervous about fertilizer:
Brazil imports 80 percent of its potassium and 60 percent of its phosphorus. It is also a major importer of nitrogen. Prices for all of these have skyrocketed with increased world demand for agricultural crops.
And they're considering doing something that has often historically sent U.S. policymakers reaching for their revolvers:
Brazil may nationalize privately held mineral deposits used to make fertilizer to bring down farm production costs, Agriculture Minister Reinhold Stephanes said.
And that could infuriate some very powerful U.S. interests:
The government and the productive sector have expressed frustration over the concentration of Brazil's fertilizer sector in a handful of companies, which include large multinational grains traders such as Bunge Ltd and Cargill.
Industrial ag looks increasingly set to become a flashpoint of what's known in polite company as "geopolitical tension," i.e., the naked competition among nations for control over key resources. But here's the bit that really caught my eye:
Part of the supply problem in Brazil's fertilizer sector stems from the risks investors face. Increased output of potassium, for example, depends on the exploration of deep underground deposits in the Amazon, where environmental red tape deters development.
Wow … "environmental red tape." You know, that whole impulse to protect the Amazon rainforest, the globe's greatest natural carbon sink — at a time of rapid, human-created climate change. Some of that red tape also involves defending the rights of indigenous people who have lived sustainably in the rainforest for centuries.
Brings to mind the recent pronouncements of Blairo Maggi, the powerful Brazilian politician who's also its biggest soy grower and business partner of Cargill, Bunge, etc. I found it a bit chilling when he declared:
With the worsening of the global food crisis, the time is coming when it will be inevitable to discuss whether we preserve the environment or produce more food. There is no way to produce more food without occupying more land and taking down more trees.
It also brings to mind the recent resignation of Marina Silva as Brazil's environment minister. Silva has been a long-time hero in the movement for environmentally and socially just rainforest management. She quit in frustration, citing increasingly limp support within the federal government for protecting the rainforest from agricultural interests.


Earth Day is coming up and I have been talking to my kids more and more about why we recycle and what we also try to re-use at home. As you can imagine we re-use many things for projects and activities I write about on the blog. So much so that my son will often hand me his garbage and say " Can you use this for a project?" Even I haven't found a good use for string cheese wrappers ! Today we are using a collection of recycled objects for a wide open recycled process art project for kids. As you will see my daughter has a favorite earth friendly painting tool.
Gather your materials. You will need some paint, a tray for the paint, some paper, and recycled objects to paint with. We went around the house and into my art closet to choose the objects.
Pour paint into the tray ( or cake pan) . I had my daughter look outside to tell me what colors she saw. Then we used those colors for the painting. I have the paper taped down because I had a feeling she'd end up finger painting and this keeps the paper from sticking to her hands and ending up on the floor.
Explore! This is wide open . She liked the toilet paper roll but hated the little cap. The ribbon spool made interesting prints but the real fun was in using her hands. The ultimate re-usable paint brush! After plopping on the paint with her hands she explored the marks that some of the recycled objects made. Rolling the toilet paper roll was a fun discovery too.
The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle: A Story About Recycling by Alison Inches is awesome! I only wish that my son was old enough to enjoy it as much as I did. It"™s not aimed at 2 year olds at all, but he did like to open it to the page with the recycling truck and point out all the parts to me. The book itself takes the reader through the complete process from crude oil, to bottle and then to synthetic fleece. I am not too proud to admit I learned s a few new things and had a few good laughs along the way with the books little bits of humor too. I think most 5 year olds would enjoy this book, and it"™s easy to break it down for those unable to sit for this much text. Also the book was printed on 100% post consumer waste paper.
Trash And Recycling by Stephanie Turnball is a great book ! I learned more about garbage and the recycling process reading this to my son over lunch than I ever knew! He loved it and despite being a pretty sophisticated book for a 3 year old immediately asked to read it again as soon as I closed it. It explains the whole process from curbside pick up, land fills, incineration and recycling. The idea for today"™s activity came from the sorting of recyclable garbage from this book!
I love everything about this post!! I know you are a very busy mama/blogger but I would love if you would share this post with us at Eco-Kids Tuesday!!


Provide an environment and the necessary coaching to build a strong community and help people improve their lives.
This post will answer all of these CrossFit web design questions and more.
Prepare to become a web design expert!
I think we can all agree that your gym's website will serve the primary purpose of attracting new members and providing value to new members, correct?
Your website is an excellent opportunity to achieve these goals.
This goal is deceivingly simple.
As the owner or manager of your gym, you are tasked with understanding what sets your CrossFit box apart from the rest, and why someone should join.
That's great, but many other CrossFit boxes have that too!
It's obvious that most CrossFit Affiliate gyms share similar values, so there is bound to be some overlap.
Notice how the first headline isn't "We have a strong community with dedicated coaches," but it implies all of those things in a much more powerful way.
Make sure you are setting your gym apart with the way you present it online.
A location and a price are not good enough to entice prospective members to sign up for a class.
With that simple offer, I know from the second I land on the site that a deal is available to me if I choose to cash in on it.
There's nothing worse than a website that does a good job presenting a brand but makes it excessively difficult for users to understand basic things like how to get there and what is needed to sign up.
We live in an age when many would prefer to find all of their information online rather than picking up the phone to ask.
Having your phone number readily available on your website is a good idea, but it doesn't replace the need for a useful website that is easy to navigate.
Notice how helpful the "What to Expect" and "Prerequisites" sections are for users who are thinking about getting started.
In addition, the class description and pricing take most other questions off the table.
In some industries, evidence of success is shown through case studies and statistics.
Thankfully, in CrossFit, it's easy to show evidence of success through high quality images and video.
Have plenty of images on your website that showcase your CrossFit box, from the facility to the quality of the equipment. Have photos or videos accessible of your CrossFit athletes working directly with coaches or participating in team events or competitions.
In the next section, we'll go over all of the best ways to achieve these goals.
Provide your athletes with feature-rich apps.
Schedule a demo to learn the ins and outs of WODHOPPER's gym management software in under 30 minutes. Seriously.
Now that we've got our main goals in mind, let's put them into perspective by learning about what matters today in the world of web design.
First and foremost, Responsive Web Design is a must.
A Responsive website adjusts to the pixel width of whichever device upon which it is viewed, maintaining the same quality of user experience on every device.
With Responsive Design—whether your website is being viewed on a computer, a tablet or a smartphone—your website maintains maximum usability.
Responsive Websites and Mobile-Friendly Websites are not the same. Mobile-Friendly websites work on mobile devices, but can be lacking when it comes to user experience.
Ever had to pinch to zoom in and out on a mobile website? That may happen to your users if you choose to forego responsive design.
CrossFitters are a busy, on-the-go bunch. There's a solid chance that most potential new members who look you up or come across your website will be doing so on a mobile device.
Make sure you're ready for it!
You run a great business and are extremely passionate about what you do—and that causes you to want to write paragraphs upon paragraphs of information on your website, and spread that information onto tons of pages.
The site's main purpose is to build credibility and to convert users into leads.
Present information on your site in a clear and concise manner, ensuring that all of the information a user may need is readily available.
The main goal should be for a user to never be more than two clicks away from being able to sign up.
Earlier, we talked about how important it is for CrossFit gym websites to have a unique offer. In the world of web design, this offer is known as a Call To Action (CTA).
No matter what, you should always be thinking about how to increase your points of contact with a potential member, whether it's having them sign up right away, or having them on an email list that helps your gym stay top of mind.
There's no reason for your website to exist if it never gets found.
That's why Search Engine Optimization is extremely important for any CrossFit website.
If someone searches Google for "CrossFit gym near me," and you don't come up, that's a massive missed opportunity, and a membership that will likely go elsewhere.
Include search terms linked to both purchasing and learning more about the services your gym provides (but don't stuff your site with keywords unnecessarily).
Blogs are essential on most websites nowadays.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to reinforce your brand and expertise through a great blog.
Nobody likes a website that looks like a research paper.
Be sure to reinforce the message and value proposition of your gym's website with images and videos that boost credibility.
A website without images or graphics falls flat, and will often have a user wondering whether the business is legitimate.
Earlier, we discussed the importance of providing clarity, and using your website to answer any possible question a user may have.
An FAQ section is a great way to achieve this, because it serves as a central hub that helps users gain a greater level of understanding about how your gym operates and whether or not it will be a good fit for them.
If you have a ton of information to provide, it's better to compile it in one easily accessible place rather than plastering it all over your site and bogging down your more conversion-focused pages.
5 CrossFit Website Options: Who Should Build My Site and On Which Platform?
So far, we've learned what every CrossFit gym website needs in order to succeed, as well as what makes websites successful in today's digital landscape.
Now it's time to build the darn thing.
There are so many options and design platforms out there. It's hard to know where to start!
Let's walk through the main options at your disposal as a CrossFit gym owner. By the end, you will be able to make an informed decision on which option is the best fit for you.
It goes without saying that hiring a professional web design firm or freelance designer will result in the highest quality and most customized website.
Your business goals are combined with their expertise in digital marketing, web design and SEO to produce a website that looks good, works well, and converts.
With that said, a full-blown custom web design project may not be in the cards for a gym that's just getting off the ground without a sizeable marketing budget.
Freelance web designers and web design firms will often offer ongoing maintenance as well as hosting.
No, WYSIWYG is not a character from a science fiction novel, it simply stands for "What You See Is What You Get"—meaning a site built using a WYSIWYG platform looks the same while you're designing and editing it as it does in it's live form.
You can purchase or use free templates provided by the platform to build your website (we will focus on this in #3 below).
Designing a custom website within a WYSIWYG platform takes a certain level of experience, but doesn't typically require a great deal of coding knowledge. It's a great option for someone who prefers not to use a template but doesn't have the budget to hire a professional designer.
Most WYSIWYG platforms provide built in hosting for a monthly fee.
A Content Management System is a way of managing the creation and modification of digital content within a website. A website built within a CMS is often more robust, flexible and scalable than one built within a WYSIWYG platform, in addition to being more organized.
Depending on where you build your CMS site, you may have the option of hosting directly through the platform, or to export the website source code and host anywhere you prefer.
Most website building platforms and WYSIWYG platforms provide templates that you can purchase or use for free.
You can customize these templates to an extent with text and images that are relevant to your gym.
By nature of the fact that it is not custom, a template is the least flexible option of the bunch, but it also takes the lowest learning curve to build.
If you need to get a site up and running fast, and you're not too concerned at the moment about using it as a marketing and sales tool for your business, a template may be the best way to go.
You will almost always need to purchase hosting from the same platform where you purchased and customized your template.
There are quite a few companies out there that specialize in building websites for CrossFit gyms.
For the most part, these companies understand that the operating income for CrossFit gyms just getting off the ground can be slim—so many have monthly fees with little to no up-front costs.
Using a CrossFit-specific website builder can be great because the company will clearly understand the nature of the business and create a website that aligns with your priorities.
The companies will also often help after the site is launched, offering hosting as well as ongoing marketing services.
However, many CrossFit-specific website builders use templates that make many of their sites similar.
This option is not for the faint of heart.
In fact, it's not for most—and realistically, if you're a business owner seeking web design advice, you're likely not an experienced coder.
If you're interested in learning how to code, check out a freemium resource like Codecademy.
Quality and Effectiveness: It depends on your level of expertise!
What Are Your Digital Marketing Priorities for your CrossFit Box?
Ultimately, the decision of what type of website builder or company to use will depend on your priorities and your budget.
Do you plan on attracting most of your new members through your website?
If the answer is yes, you should consider investing more in the site up front and going custom.
If you have many other traditional marketing, social media and referral-based campaigns in the works, your website is still important—but you may be able to get away with a lower cost build.
But regardless of your business goals, budget and priorities, your CrossFit gym website is essential to the success, growth and survival of the business.
Make sure you treat it as such!

Pakistani mine explosion kills nine and leaves multiple injured
By James Gamble • 01 December 2022 • 13:14
An explosion in a coal mine in Pakistan has tragically killed nine workers and left four others seriously injured.
The suspected gas explosion at the mine in the Orakzai tribal region's Doli area, in northwestern Pakistan, is being investigated by authorities.
A total of 13 miners were said to have been working inside the mine at the time of the explosion and subsequent collapse.
Emergency services recovered the bodies of the nine dead miners, as well as rescuing the other four miners who sustained 'critical' injuries, according to news agency Reuters.
The Reuters report, citing police officials, stated the explosion had been caused by 'gas sparks' inside the mine.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed his 'deep pain and sorrow' for the incident and offered his condolences to the families of the deceased miners.
Miners in Pakistan have complained in the past that a lack of safety gear and poor working conditions are primary causes in the frequent occurrence of accidents.
Meanwhile, Kohat Governor Mehmood Aslam Wazir has ordered a further investigation into the incident.
He also urged the Department of Mines to provide better equipment to workers in the future, and made assurances that those affected in the most recent disaster will receive compensation from the government.

Q: Updating Python on Ubuntu I am new to linux so I'm only just familiar with installing via the terminal. I currently have python 2.7.12 installed and I am trying to update it to python3 via the command
sudo apt-get install python3

Buffett's Flawed Advice On Bonds
The Oracle is wrong about the value of fixed income securities in most portfolios - even now.
Covestor.com
By John Gerard Lewis
Among the folksy guidance at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Carnival, er, Meeting, earlier this month was Warren Buffett's proclamation that bonds "are terrible investments now."
With apologies to oracles everywhere, I personally believe that's a reckless declaration for someone who holds such public sway. Yes, for some purposes bonds are bad investments - tiny yields, looming principal destruction and all that. And I believe some bonds are very bad investments at any time.
But to broadly declare, without qualification or distinction, that "bonds are terrible investments now" is irresponsible. In my opinion bonds, or fixed-income holdings generally, always have an important place in many, if not most, conservative portfolios.
"Anybody I would [advise], I would have them having enough cash on hand so they would feel comfortable, and then the rest in equities," Mr. Buffett said.
Really? Anyone? Well, I'd be careful then, Warren. State securities commissioners frown upon such indiscriminate advice, devoid of consideration for age, net worth and risk tolerance. There is, you see, that niggling matter of suitability.
Sure, you can spout this stuff with impunity on TV, especially when you're a mindlessly venerated demigod. And your avuncularity is, to use one of your favorite terms, another protective moat. But don't offer such reckless counsel to specific individuals in the receiving line. Even you, jolly and revered octogenarian that you are, could get in trouble.
(Note that Buffett's fuzzy remark about cash and feeling comfortable doesn't clearly suggest whether he's talking about cash within an investment portfolio, or simply cash to live on. I think most people would construe it as the latter.)
An unintended securities law breach might qualify as a mere venial sin under certain circumstances. But a greater faux pas was committed by Mr. Buffett. It is one of arrogance, the type that we regularly see among CNBC's parade of grandstanding pontificators. "Buy this, sell that," they bellow, without regard to viewers' individual circumstances.
Amateur investors, and those who simply aspire to be amateur investors, flip on the financial channel and - too often - do whatever they're told by the guy who happens to be on at that time. At 10:06 a.m. a very, very smart-looking fellow – wearing a fancy suit and tie – says, "Buy Microsoft!" Amateur investor turns off the TV and promptly does as he's told. But he missed the even smarter-looking guy at 10:18 who countered that he wouldn't touch MSFT with a 10-foot pole.
For ordinary people at home, financial TV is the equivalent of Short Attention Span Theater. They know they should be invested, but they don't know have the slightest idea what to do, so they do what some smart guy on TV tells them to do. "Problem solved, now I'm going fishing."
And when it comes to the smartest of them all, Warren Buffett, well … it's not just pretty good advice. It's gospel. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Warren.
Rest assured, then, that no sooner had the words crossed the Oracle's lips on May 6 than legions of worshipers emptied their portfolios of any semblance of bonds.
For all of the speculation about succession at Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett apparently thinks that people live forever. And while he can afford to think that, the people who hear him talking on TV can't. They need to be invested prudently, or they risk losing their nest eggs. And I believe that means that some of them, e.g., octogenarians not named Warren Buffett, need to have bonds in their portfolios, even when returns are miniscule.
Contrary to Mr. Buffett's recent counsel, one general rule of thumb is that the fixed-income percentage of a personal portfolio, excluding real estate, should equal one's age. A 70-year-old would therefore be 70 percent in fixed-income (bonds, certificate of deposits, etc.) and 30 percent in equities. This is a maxim long espoused by the esteemed Jack Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Funds, and many other advisors (including yours truly).
Warren Buffett can afford to be invested 100 percent in stocks if he wants to be. But most older people shouldn't be, in my opinion – particularly at a time when all-time highs are being set and there hasn't been a significant correction in 50 months.
Now, a bond portfolio should certainly be designed sensibly. With rates so low, the danger, of course, is an eventual rise that would decrease principal values. But I personally believe that issue is manageable – keep maturities short so that you can potentially reinvest in new bonds as rates rise.
To the protestation that rates are so low that short-term bonds would lose out to inflation, I say that that's manageable, too. First of all, even if they did lose a point or so to inflation, that's better than experiencing a 10% correction in the stock market and then panicking out, as many people – especially older people – would do.
And the fact is that short-term bond investments aren't necessarily being reduced by inflation today. The Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index ETF (VCSH) and the SPDR Barclays Short Term Corporate Bond ETF (SCPB) each currently yield 1% to 2% (as of 5/17), with the latest monthly inflation number (March) at 1.5%.
If you want to seek more yield with a portion of your bonds, in my opinion, who better to manage your fixed income investments than Jeffrey Gundlach or Bill Gross? I like Gundlach's DoubleLine Opportunistic Credit Fund (DBL), currently yielding over 7%, and Gross's PIMCO Income Strategy Fund II (PFN), that yields over 8%. Another option is the Stable High Yield portfolio that I manage at Covestor.
Mr. Buffett is roundly celebrated as an investment maven, which may be true enough. What he is not, however, is an advisor for the individual investor, and I don't believe he should be giving unmitigated general advice on TV to wide-eyed individual investors, especially when his advice, by virtue of being so sweeping, is simply wrong.
