An elegy to my father: The footnote, opera and love
I wrote this piece as a newspaper feature column; to read the original and my newest entry go to The Communites at The Washington Times, where I write lyrical essays on love.
The Foonote and Love
When did you first meet the footnote? Did it lead to love? I'm not betting on love between you and the footnote.
As to when, I'm betting it was in high school or college when some good teacher handed you A Manual for Writers by Kate L. Turabian, sent you off to write your first term paper and you learned to hate the footnote. Write that thesis statement, support it, get quotes, footnote it. Learn et. al., ibid and idem. Be logical, think rationally. All good things—except idem, maybe?
At the thought of ever having to write another footnote, or worse, read one! some of you may want to scream "the horror! the horror!" and have that be the end of it. I don't blame you.
But I have a different story to tell you (Please note: asterisks * refer to footnotes.):
I love the footnote, not because I'm so good at writing one, but because the not-so-important tag at the bottom of the page, the back of the chapter, the end of the book has always been a beginning for me.
I first encountered the footnote at my father's side in synagogue. While he davened, the Hebrew word for prayed, I read footnotes. He wasn't big on prayer. He was reciting Hebrew prayers he knew by heart, could read but not translate: the way he was taught. I was about eight years old and would be reading the big blue book I'd pulled from the book slot in front of me: The Torah, the first five books of the Bible. The rabbi's comments are in the footnotes. This is where I learned what to take literally, what to read differently. The rabbi's questions after questions about passages discussed endlessly and read all year long and then started over once again the following year landed in the footnote. I read about skins and feathers in Leviticus, about Miriam, my Hebrew name, in Exodus and Rabbi Rashi's view that she was a prophet before Moses's birth. My parents named me after someone that important? I got scared. My father consoled.
He admired that I found that info in a footnote and my love of the footnote got hooked to my love for him. He's the shadow behind the man I love—and this has nothing to do with logic—or does it?
My father loved a rational exchange, that answer-a-question-with-a-question stuff. He died more than a decade ago and I miss him. I think about what he's done for me and found the answer in a footnote.
I was reading Auden's essays Forewards and Afterwords and got stopped in my tracks by a footnote. In a footnote, Auden asserts that there's a parallel between the Socratic answer-a question-with-a-question method to educate the intellect and the role of free association in psychoanalysis to educate the emotions. He believes that key to both is the process of inquiry. And that we have to live it to learn it: true for both mind and heart. He says we gotta as in Nike's logo Just do it! ourselves.
And there I was on the metaphorical couch, recalling my father. His questions. Here's one he asked me when I was ten: So, Mary, you're ten. Would it be enough if Moses wrote the famous ten himself? If that was the miracle atop the mountain top, wouldn't that be enough?
He was asking me to think and I was learning about love: the love a parent gives a child, the love that lays the foundation for each of us to love another.
Oh let's digress back to Moses. I'm still thinking about my father's question after all these years. Here's my answer: Moses did have to go up that mountain twice. He smashed the tablets the first time he came down. Did he really go back up and say, Hey, big guy, could you do it again for me?
But the answer is not as important as the conversation. By asking me such an intellectual and controversial question when I was ten, my father made me feel worthy. The love of a parent, his respect, helps the child grow strong. Love affirms our worth.
Opera this month brought my father back to me. I saw Puccini's Tosca at the Kennedy Center.* When Tenor Frank Poretta sang the famous aria E lucevan le stele** in the last act, I heard the footnote of my father's music rise up from our basement stairs.
I grew up in a narrow row house in Baltimore where my father listened to opera on 78 RPMs in the basement. He never saw an opera live when he was young and vigorous. When he was old and I could afford good seats, I took him to Madam Butterfly.
My father's love for me was like music. Leonard Bernstein said about music, "It doesn't have to pass through the censor of the brain before it can reach the heart … An F-sharp doesn't have to be considered in the mind; it is a direct hit."
The love of my life was at my side at the opera. I met him writing footnotes for what we termed "The Red Book." Not Carl Jung's tome that I do own, but a treatise on energy from a think tank where I once worked. The man I love was in charge of "The Red Book." I was the editor assigned to write the footnotes, all 164 of them. He made me feel worthy while I did a task that was anything but central. I was the footnote who mattered to him.
The tenor In Tosca sings of love in that final stirring aria in Act III. But it is not the words that move, it's the melody that strikes the heart, brought me to tears and reminded me that love and logic and worth intertwined in my youth—and reminded of this: My father's love was a direct hit.***
*This column ran to alert readers that they could see Tosca for free at Nationals Stadium where it was generously simulcast at 7:30 pm September 22. Plácido Domingo conducted.
**Hear Plácido Domingo sing the aria E lucevan le stele in the video below.
**Ibid in a footnote means the same source. I love my husband: Ibid to my father.

On February 9, 2012, the Federal Government and Attorneys General from 49 States reached an agreement with the five largest mortgage servicers for $25 billion in payments to resolve violations of state and federal law and to implement comprehensive new mortgage loan servicing standards. The five servicers are Ally Financial, Inc. (formerly GMAC), Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo.
The foreclosure crisis shows no signs of abating. Foreclosure petitions were 67 percent higher in September than they were in May. The Massachusetts Housing Partnership's Foreclosure Monitor's assessment of real estate data and economic trends indicates that foreclosures in Massachusetts will increase, there are still thousands of properties in the foreclosure pipeline, and we will not likely see a full real estate recovery until 2014 or later. In this context, getting help to homeowners now is vital.
Resources to address the foreclosure crisis are drying up. In response to the crisis, Massachusetts has made resources available for foreclosure prevention and for the redevelopment of foreclosed properties. The MA Division of Banks continues to make annual awards for foreclosure prevention counseling under Chapter 206 of the 2007 law that MACDC was instrumental in passing. However, as the mortgage licensing fees that fund these grants have declined, so have the awards: from $2 million in 2008 to $1 million in 2011. The primary funding source for redeveloping foreclosed properties, the federal Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP) Program, which has been used to purchase and rehabilitate over 1,300 units statewide, is completely spent. We need the resources generated by this settlement and we need them now.
Massachusetts is more likely to gain from the national settlement than from going it alone. Under the national settlement, in addition to the $46.5 million going directly to the state for various programs, Massachusetts homeowners will receive $224 million in loan modifications and other direct relief and $32.7 million in refinancing of underwater homes. Borrowers who lost their homes and suffered servicer abuse will gain $14.7 million. Furthermore, the five banks agreed to implement unprecedented changes in how they service mortgage loans, handle foreclosure, and ensure the accuracy of information. Not everyone likes the Agreement; some take the attorneys general to task for not holding out for a better settlement. It's true that Attorney General Coakley could have conceivably obtained more resources for MA by declining to join the national settlement, but this is by no means certain, and what is certain is that the resources would be longer in coming. Plus, this settlement does not preclude federal and state pursuit of further criminal enforcement actions. Given the options and uncertainties, I believe that the Attorney General made the right decision for Massachusetts.
To ensure that the resources best address the foreclosure crisis in Massachusetts, MACDC and its allies need to engage, advocate and negotiate with the Attorney General on behalf of the families and communities most impacted by the ongoing crisis. We need to be aggressive in speaking out about the uses for the $46.5 million, when the money flows, and how it is spent. Our task is just beginning.

Doug Johnston's work oscillates between art and design, primarily focused on a process of coiling and machine-stitching cordage influenced by 3D printing and ancient vessel-building techniques, which he has been using since 2010. His practice engages architecture, spatial and landscape formation, commerce, and fundamental human technologies. Each piece is a drawing, a body, a space, and an attempt to grasp geologic time as we enter the Anthropocene. While at Bemis Center he plans to continue developing large sculptural works of coiled-and-stitched rope, including wall-hanging pieces and vessel forms.

The Meet Market is back and ready to kick off the season in full swing (*wink *wink). For the second year in a row, we are uniting forces with Djangofest Athens, a well established gypsy jazz festival, for its 9th year in the running, dedicated to the legendary Django Reinhardt's music, that dominated Europe in the 1930's & 40's.
Join us for a weekend of Django Reinhardt inspired Parisian swing jazz concerts, music seminars, dance classes, dance performances, workshops, instrument exhibitions, interactive games for kids and of course, The Meet Market, with over 100 designers of local creations and innovations.
What are you waiting for? As always, the entrance is Free. Put on your dancing shoes and be there.
The well-known dinosaur expert, Lizard Dinou, helps us learn through games, about these giant lizards that went extinct 65 million years ago. A fossilized footprint from a 4-year-old dinosaur foot is the inspiration for an adventure full of roars, big steps, horns and dangerous tails. A quiz with audio clips, gigantic egg imagery and, of course, the magic of the dinosaur dance are some of the stops of our travel through time and imagination. How does a dragon differ from a dinosaur? This question is answered again by Ms. Lizard Dinu with games of fire, tails and nests. At the end, we create colorful fires and leave our own prints on paper.
The gypsy jazz & swing rhythms and the beginning of autumn awaken dragons, witches, princes and kings. Within the framework of the meet market there will be storytelling with games and interactive participation from out little friends!


This aristocratic young woman is believed to be a member of the Hampden family of Buckinghamshire, England. Posed before an enclosed garden—a traditional indication of virginity—she is presented as a maiden anticipating marital happiness. The portrait is both daring and aspirational: loose hair would not have been worn in public, and a low-cut bodice was only appropriate for court dress. Her lavishly embroidered, pearl-encrusted gown resembles costumes worn in elaborate entertainments that were performed for Queen Elizabeth I and her successor, James I.
Although the artist has not been firmly identified, this theatrically staged style of portraiture was practiced by Robert Peake, John de Critz, and Marcus Geeraerts, the younger—all of whom were closely associated with the English court.

A sign hangs in the window of Democrat Danny O'Connor's campaign office in Ohio's 12th Congressional District.
Next week, if Republicans lose Ohio's 12th Congressional District, a seat they've held since the early years of the Reagan administration, their nationwide prospects of maintaining control of the House will dim.
But a loss in that special election also would signal acute trouble for several Republican incumbents in Ohio, where the party has dominated the political landscape for much of the last 30 years.
How high are the stakes? State Sen. Troy Balderson, the party's nominee in the Ohio 12th, has enthusiastic endorsements from both President Donald Trump and Gov. John Kasich — political enemies who have few mutual allies. Vice President Mike Pence campaigned in the district this week, and Trump is expected to visit this weekend. National Republican groups are spending millions of dollars on the race. Meanwhile, Democrat Danny O'Connor, an elected county officeholder from the vote-rich Columbus area, has positioned himself as a moderate.
In interviews with more than a half-dozen Republican operatives, most of whom are cautiously optimistic that Balderson will win, three fears emerged: that a low-turnout election at the height of summer vacation season could tip the contest to O'Connor; that several other Ohio House districts drawn overwhelmingly in their favor could become more competitive; and that the Democrats' momentum could carry into an open governor's race that in recent weeks has trended in Democrats' direction.
The biggest concern among Republicans is the Ohio 1st, where Rep. Steve Chabot, a Republican mainstay in Cincinnati, is facing a tough challenge from Democrat Aftab Pureval. Chabot, 65, won reelection easily two years ago. But Pureval, 35, is a youthful campaigner and aggressive fundraiser. Nonpartisan observers sense an upset. Republicans are nervous, and some already are blaming Chabot.
Chabot's campaign spokesperson, Cody Rizzuto, argued that the results of a special election without an incumbent will not be a bellwether anywhere else.
One Ohio-based Republican strategist believes an O'Connor victory could help lift Democratic challengers in at least five other districts, making those House races too close for comfort.
All incumbents in a midterm climate like this must "either run unopposed or run scared," regardless of what happens in the Ohio 12th, a senior aide to a member of Ohio's Republican congressional delegation said.
Every House Republican from Ohio won his 2016 campaign by a wide margin, though the Joyce and Turner seats often are viewed as enticing pickup opportunities, and Democrats are excited about the challengers they're fielding against Gibbs and Stivers. But the inclusion of Stivers in any doomsday scenario is significant: He leads the National Republican Congressional Committee — the campaign arm for House Republicans. While there's been occasional chatter about Stivers being vulnerable in the Ohio 15th, which borders the Ohio 12th, most who spoke to BuzzFeed News believe his seat is safe.
"Besides Chabot, everything else is a real reach," another national operative said.
Jai Chabria, a former adviser to Kasich and a Republican consultant who worked with J.D. Vance when the Hillbilly Elegy author considered a Senate run in Ohio this year, warned against overanalyzing special elections.
Even if Balderson lost, he would have a second chance. The special election is to fill the unexpired term of Pat Tiberi, who left Congress earlier this year. Both Balderson and O'Connor are seeking a full term in the November general election.
But others point to 2006, a wave year for Democrats nationally that resulted in Ohio's only Democratic governor since 1990 and a Senate seat for Sherrod Brown, who is up for reelection this year and currently the only Democrat who holds statewide office. Republican operatives started sensing danger that summer, when Brown jumped out to a lead over incumbent Mike DeWine and momentum began to shift decisively toward the Democrats.
DeWine, now the state's attorney general, is on the ballot again this year — as a candidate for governor. The most recent polls show him in a close race with Democrat Richard Cordray, and some Republicans worry a Balderson loss would seed a narrative Cordray hopes will grow: that a Republican losing a Republican district, despite being endorsed by Trump and Kasich, shows the party is weak, and that a vote for Cordray is not a wasted one.

In the NFL, talent is anything. All 32 groups share the exact same aspiration: Earn a Super Bowl. That is why each individual crew selects school football stars all in excess of The united states each individual 12 months to engage in for their groups, and help them complete their Super Bowl desires. Ordinarily, the most accomplished school football stars get into the league to start with, and several do great things for their groups. But even all those who are supposedly not as proficient, who have to wait more time in advance of a crew selects them, will rise to greatness. The players are named Draft Steals. They are picked in later rounds, because groups do not anticipate them to have superior talent, but will complete great discounts of stardom in the NFL. Even though various nicely-acknowledged draft steals have retired, various however remain in the NFL. Right here are the biggest draft steals however lively in the NFL these days.
Even though Marques Colston was a school football superstar at Hofstra University, totaling 2834 getting yards and eighteen touchdowns, which are each all-time records for the university, he experienced to wait until eventually the seventh Round of the 2006 NFL Draft to enter the NFL, when the New Orleans Saints picked him with 252nd general pick. This was mainly of his 4.5 seconds desired to total the forty-garden sprint, his 37-inch vertical leap, and his 10'3″ extended jump (all of which are regarded as lousy by NFL criteria). Guess what, NFL scouts? That exact same male who you hardly ever considered would make it in the NFL now has extra getting yards, receptions, and getting touchdowns than any one particular else who has played for the New Orleans Saints. He also recorded an NFL-report 168 receptions in just his to start with two seasons. He is one particular of the biggest lively draft steals in the NFL right now.
Matt Hasselbeck (QB for the Indianapolis Colts)
Matt Hasselbeck experienced to wait until eventually the Inexperienced Bay Packers picked him with the 187th general pick in the 6th Round of the 1998 NFL Draft. Because the Packers were being set with Brett Favre as their setting up quarterback, Hasselbeck struggled to get snaps in three seasons in Inexperienced Bay, paying out his rookie time on the observe squad in advance of throwing for just 145 total yards the pursuing two seasons. Just before the 2001 time, he was traded to the young Seattle Seahawks. Immediately after outperforming Trent Dilfer in 2002, Hasselbeck was named the Seahawks' opening-day starter in 2003. From that point, Hasselbeck ascended to turn into one particular of the NFL's most prolific passers. He was voted to the Professional Bowl three periods, and aided the Seahawks to 6 playoff appearances, such as their to start with NFC Championship. Hasselbeck played 10 seasons with the crew, and in the stop of it all, he experienced thrown extra passing yards and accomplished passes than any other Seahawk. He also experienced much less interceptions for every go endeavor than any other Seahawks passer. Hasselbeck's career has been characterised by talent and precision, but by work ethic that was underestimated in the 1998 Draft.
Even right after hurrying for 1,007 yards his sophomore time in UCLA, Jacksonville Jaguars' superstar-to-be Maurice Jones Drew did not get picked in the to start with spherical of the 2006 NFL Draft, but relatively the second spherical, with the fiftieth general pick. Even while he experienced minimal actively playing time as a backup at the starting of his career, he has averaged extra than four yards for every have each individual time he has played. By the stop of the 2012 time, he experienced been picked to the Professional Bowl three periods, voted NFL Running Again of the Yr twice, and experienced one particular time (2011) exactly where he led the league in hurrying yards and was voted NFL Player of the Yr. He is also the Jaguars' all-time chief in hurrying touchdowns, kick return yards, and kick return touchdowns. With statistics of a participant truly worth getting a to start with general pick, NFL groups speculate these days why they didn't choose Jones-Drew with their to start with spherical picks.
Arian Foster (RB for the Houston Texans)
Arian Foster is one particular of tens of millions of school football stars who participated in an NFL Draft. He is also one particular of the tens of millions of school football stars who participated in an NFL Draft and was hardly ever picked. That is right. Foster participated in the 2009 NFL Draft, only to turn into an undrafted cost-free agent. This is perhaps one particular of the most demoralizing defeats a football participant can endure. Even while he experienced rushed for virtually 3000 total yards by the time he graduated from University of Tennessee, scouts took into account that it experienced taken Foster 4.68 seconds to total the 40-garden sprint (lousy by NFL criteria), and his vertical leap and wide jump were being, respectively, 32 inches and 9'7″. But right after he was signed to the Houston Texans offseason roster and eventually was promoted from the observe squad to the lively roster, he began to go away his mark on the Houston Texans and the NFL as nicely. In his pursuing three seasons, he rushed for a thousand+ yards in each individual of all those decades. Also, in each individual of all those decades, he was voted to the Professional Bowl, such as one particular time (2010) exactly where he led the league in hurrying yards. Foster has remaining various NFL basic managers with containers of tissues, as they have regretted turning their backs on the participant who became Houston Texans' all-time chief in hurrying yards and hurrying touchdowns.
Tom Brady (QB for the New England Patriots)
The dictionary definition of "draft steal" is not Tom Brady. But he is arguably the most accomplished draft steal on this checklist. In the starting of his school career at Michigan, Brady struggled to gain actively playing time and regarded as transferring to a college exactly where he could be a starter. At the 2000 NFL Draft, various scouts thought he could hardly ever be starter-caliber. The New England Patriots eventually place Brady into their purchasing cart, with their 199th general pick in the 6th Round. In his to start with two seasons, he was a backup. But right after turning out to be the Patriots' starter halfway by 2001 and encouraging the crew to the Super Bowl, it was all uphill from there. Given that 2001, Brady has not only been to the Professional Bowl eight periods, but has been NFL MVP twice, and has received three Super Bowls for the Patriots, who voted him Super Bowl MVP in two of all those victories. NFL scouts however speculate how Brady crawled from the woodwork and became one particular of the most effective passers in NFL Record.
"Draft steal" does not have a dictionary definition, and this is because a draft steal can come in so several designs or kinds. These underestimated athletes evolve into turning out to be some of the to start with sporting activities stars that pop up to our minds. A football participant does not need a golden chariot to have them into NFL stardom. They just need work ethic and willpower, as nicely as a frame of mind that signifies a man or woman who wins no subject how several points they are down. This checklist mentions genuine NFL stars who experienced ample willpower to go away permanent marks in sporting activities heritage even as the entire world pointed and laughed. If a draft steal can rise from the woodwork, then it signifies each individual human in the entire world can be the most effective at what they do, not subject how several shortcomings they encounter.

My name is Krystal and welcome to my blog. My first attempt at this, I was pulling my writing in all different directions and wasn't necessarily producing work I was proud of. I was just writing for the sake of writing. But now, I'm going to take this blog site much more seriously and push and challenge myself with my writing.
The first challenge is learning how to be more transparent. Not too transparent where every detail of my life is out there for the public, but transparent enough that my readers feel they can relate to me in some kind of way. So to start, I've been married for almost three years, I have a soon-to-be two-year-old daughter, and my second child is due to make their arrival in December. I'm a Christian who very much still rough around the edges. I have a passion for writing, reading, painting, and eating. I love HGTV and DIY! Network. I love coffee, but this pregnancy has diverted me more towards tea, which I also love. I have a tendency to ramble, but I always come back to the point I was trying to make…well, almost always!
Ultimately, my goal is to make people feel uplifted and inspired after reading something I wrote. And sometimes that will be a challenge. But it's a challenge I'm willing to accept because I believe in the power of words.

The Wave first reported a new homeless shelter coming to address 226 Beach 101st Street. The shelter will house roughly 120 single men, blocks away from multiple schools in the area.
Here is a statement from Assemblywoman Pheffer-Amato.
Teamwork! As Senator Sanders announced that he is conducting a collection drive to help federal workers affected by the government shutdown. He was joined by supporters – William McDonald, Commander of the Rosedale-Laurelton American Legion Post 483, left, Gabriel Pedreira, Legislative Director and Political Organizer for the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and Timothy McLaughlin, National Representative, 2nd District, American Federation of Government Employees.

Former Assembly Member Phil Goldfeder drops off some donations on behalf of Cross River Bank, the company for whom he now serves as SVP of Public Affairs.
Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) today announced that he is collecting food and other essential items to help federal workers affected by the partial shutdown of the U.S. Government.
Senator Sanders' collection drive is being conducted with support from the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) the largest federal employee union – representing 700,000 federal and D.C. government workers nationwide and overseas, and the Rosedale-Laurelton American Legion Post 483, which operates a local food pantry.
The government shutdown started on December 22, 2018 over an inability for congressional Democrats to agree on funding President Trump's proposed wall along the U.S. – Mexico border. It is unclear how long this stalemate will continue but in the meantime, 800,000 federal employees are working without pay or on furlough.
Those affected by the government shutdown include agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as well as staff from the State Department, Coast Guard, IRS, Department of Homeland Security, NASA, the National Park Service, the Forest Service, the Transportation Department, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the IRS.
In the New York City area, the AFGE has over 10,000 members, and of those, 6,000 are not receiving paychecks due to the government shutdown, according to Timothy McLaughlin, National Representative of the 2nd District of the AFGE. He said these members speak to him on a daily basis about their anger, desperation and confusion over their current predicament.
"It's absolutely despicable to have people work and not pay them," McLaughlin said.
Senator Sanders is collecting donations of non-perishable food, toiletries along with baby formula, diapers, and other childcare items for these affected workers. Items can be dropped off at his District Office, located at 142-01 Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park, Monday – Friday, between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Those seeking to receive items must present a valid, current, federal ID from one of the agencies affected by the government shutdown.
While Senator Sanders is in the process of collecting items, those with immediate needs can visit the Rosedale-Laurelton American Legion Post 483, which operates a food pantry on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. It is located at 240-08 135th Avenue in Rosedale, Queens.

Queens – Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D – South Queens) today reminded all local volunteer groups that the deadline to apply for a 2019 Neighborhood Grant through The Citizens Committee for New York City is January 21st. Pheffer Amato held a grant workshop this past month with local community organizations.
The Citizens Committee for New York City awards grants up to $3,000 for neighborhood projects that range over a variety of different areas. Areas include community gardening, visual and performing arts, nutrition awareness, beautification, tenant and immigrant organizing, healing circles, physical fitness, public safety, and many more.
Application instructions and guideline can be found by going to the following link: https://www.citizensnyc.org/grants/neighborhood-grants.
The last grant winner was won by Perfect Pieces of the Puzzle Inc. An organization fueled to be the leader in autism advocacy, legislation, and research. The organization also has been the leader in school policy for the Department of Education's District 27; a school district that represents the Rockaways and parts of Ozone Park.
In March, Councilman Richards office announced plans to transform the nearly abandoned Thriftway Mall in Downtown Far Rockaway. After decades of neglect, this underutilized property will be transformed into an active village center, bringing new mixed-income housing, modern retail and commercial space, and public space to the centermost part of the neighborhood.
Called Far Rockaway Village, the project will anchor the revitalization of the neighborhood, delivering nearly 700 units of mixed-income and affordable housing and over 90,000 square feet of modern retail and commercial space to the center of the neighborhood's new rezoning area.
Further activation of the property could bring additional mixed-income rental homes, along with new commercial and ground floor retail, and open public space to the heart of the neighborhood. Construction of a first phase of the project is expected to be complete by late 2021.
It's been a long wait for economic progress in Downtown Far Rockaway. We've laid the groundwork for success and now we must continue to work to ensure this project moves forward rapidly while serving the community's needs for affordability, quality retail, and good jobs, per Richards Newsletter.
An answer to countless calls from the community, this is a major sign of progress for the revitalization of the neighborhood. The project following City Council's approval of the de Blasio Administration's plan to rezone Downtown Far Rockaway, which helped to bring $288 million of City investment to the area and will unlock new mixed-income housing, commercial space, open space, community facilities, and better connections to transportation.
● Building a brand new $10 million park on the site of a vacant, City-owned lot.
● New state-of-the-art $40 million Downtown Far Rockaway Library.
● More than $100 million to upgrade sewer infrastructure, expand sidewalks, and create new public plazas.
● Building about 1,600 units of 100% affordable housing on public land committing to finance homes affordable to families making between approximately $30,000 and $78,000.
● Providing free legal services for Rockaway residents facing unlawful evictions and tenant harassment.
● Supporting existing businesses through free legal services and increasing access to other small business resources in addition to securing a study for the formation of a business improvement district.
● Investing $10 million in upgrades to existing schools' playgrounds, libraries, auditoriums, and science labs, and reserving a site within the Urban Renewal Area for the School Construction Authority to accommodate a new elementary school if needed as the neighborhood grows.
● Grants for cultural organizations and increased arts programming.
● An additional $250,000 for Rock Safe Streets to expand their anti-gun violence efforts to Redfern.
● Installing real-time bus arrival displays at key bus stops.
This Friday May 25th, 2018 at 10:00 AM, Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Councilman Eric Ulrich, Councilman Donovan Richards community leaders, local businesses, residents, and other elected officials will call out the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC), for the cancellation of weekend Ferry Shuttle Service on the Rockaway Peninsula, and requesting that they reinstate the weekend shuttle service immediately.
EDC contacted local elected officials and community leaders last week to inform them that weekend service for the Rockaway Shuttle Bus will no longer be an option as of today. EDC stated that the removal of weekend shuttles was due to "trade-offs" and "lack of ridership" even though they have increased ferry boat sizes and frequency of travel throughout the summer months.
Pheffer Amato, Addabbo, Ulrich, and Richards are calling on EDC to reinstate the ferry shuttle for weekend service immediately. The Ferry has become an integral part of the community not only for residents but for the millions of visitors across the city and state and lack of shuttle service will leave thousands of ferry users stranded.
WHAT: Press conference to demand the EDC to continue the Free Ferry Shuttle Service on weekends throughout the Rockaway Peninsula.
WHO: Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato, Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Councilman Eric Ulrich, Councilman Donovan Richards, community leaders, local businesses, residents, and other elected officials.
WHERE: Rockaway Boardwalk at Beach 108th Street.
State Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) will announce at a press conference on the steps of City Hall that he plans to sue in civil court a couple from Far Rockaway for $1 million because they intentionally tried to defame him by spreading lies that he sought a bribe.
Moses and Rivera went so far as to take their claim to investigators.
Culinary Kids, Culinary Arts does not have 501(c)3 status and could not have received discretionary funding in the first place. Even, hypothetically, if money were to have been given, it would have had to go through a city agency – the Parks Department, because the land they wanted to utilize was parkland. The Parks Department would have then reimbursed them for the money they spent if they were able to document their expenditures with receipts.
Who: State Senator James Sanders Jr.
When: May 20, 2018 at 12 p.m.
Please note: Most organizations applied and accepted the fund after the pipeline project was complete. The funds are also not used to pay organizations off for any benefits to Williams Partners.
Without further ado, the full list of all grant recipients.
Williams – a major operator of natural gas infrastructure in New York – today announced the latest recipients of the Rockaway Community Grant Program, awarding grants to 25 local organizations.
The Rockaway Community Grant program was designed to benefit the environment and local communities in which Williams operates its Transco natural gas pipeline near Rockaway, N.Y. The company has awarded nearly $900,000 since the grant program was first initiated in 2014.
Can we ask for more money next time? Williams brings in 24 Billion in investment per year. Keep that in mind next cycle when you apply again.
State Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, Far Rockaway) will be hosting a Youth Voter Education presentation on Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Ocean Bay Community Center in Arverne. The purpose will be to guide youth through the registration process, which is a potential step to expanding the age range of voters. Students will learn how to be politically involved and civically engaged. Topics will include voting, how to register and recognizing our political leaders.

title: Git in the Shell. Integration
excerpt: "No real need for Git GUI, all you need is a SHELL"
categories: articles
tags: [Git, Bash]
date: 2015-04-20

    teaser: bash-ghistory.png

---

Initially, I wanted to write a long article about [**GIT**](http://git-scm.com/), how useful it is - [at 10 years since its creation](https://www.atlassian.com/git/articles/10-years-of-git/) - and *blah blah blah*, but then I thought that there are alrady [lots of articles out there saying pretty much the same thing](https://www.google.it/search?client=ubuntu&hs=6Sm&channel=fs&q=git+how+to&oq=git+how+to&gs_l=serp.3...9121.9812.0.10076.7.6.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0.msedr...0...1c.1.64.serp..7.0.0.vaBWCreLahE) and that I was not adding that much. My contribute, instead, will be about how I integrate it in my workflow, hoping that it could help someone.

I work mainly under Linux and so the Shell is my helm. Working in a Shell, I think there are **3 important things** you need to have **clear under your sight**:

1. **Who you are**: that is, whether are you a normal user, or **root**.
2. **Where you are**: the working directory.
3. **What you are working on**.

For the latter, the second point is normally sufficient, but if I am working on a project with revision control, let's say GIT, I need other information:

1. Current branch
2. Most recent Tag
3. Whether there are uncommitted modifications or not
4. Stashed changes (Git only, I guess).

I used to work with [Bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/), as it is the default Shell in all the GNU/Linux distributions I worked with, and the only trick I used at the beginning was a list of **aliases** (in `.basrh` configuration file) to save some time typing the most common GIT commands:

{% highlight bash %}
alias ga='git add -u'       # use it with caution
alias gb='git branch'
alias gd='git diff -w'      # -w: ignore whitespace
alias ghistory='git log --decorate --oneline --graph --all --date=short --pretty=format:"%C(auto)%d%Creset %C(auto)%h%Creset - %C(cyan)%an%Creset %Cgreen(%ad)%Creset : %s" '
alias gs='git stash list'
alias gs='git status'
{% endhighlight %}

**ghistory** (which is actually `gh`, I wrote here `ghistory` to make it clear what it means) is my preferred and looks like this (local branches are in green, remotes one in red):

![ghistory](/images/bash-ghistory.png)

So far nothing special actually, then I heard of [**Zsh**](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/).

As everyone can read in every website that talks about it, Zsh is a Shell as well as Bash, but with an important feature for me: the **double prompt**, one on the left side of the shell -like in Bash- and **one on the right side**. So, what changed with Zsh?

### Who I am

Well, not what "I am" personally of course, but the way the user name is displayed, with a particular regards to **root** user1.

![iamroot](/images/iamroot.png)

here is the **definition of the left prompt** (this one goes on `.zshrc` configuration file):

{% highlight bash %}
if [ ${USER} = root ]; then
    PROMPT='%F{red}$(_prompt_line)%f# '
else
    PROMPT='%F{yellow}$(_prompt_line)%f> '
fi
{% endhighlight %}

where `__prompt_line` is the following function

{% highlight bash %}
_prompt_line()
{
    echo -n "Iam%n"
}
{% endhighlight %}

`%n` is the *user name*.

### The working directory path

The only thing I always found annoying **in Bash** was the fact that **the prompt can fill the main part of the command line** when you are working in a folder with a deep path respect home:

![bash-long-path](/images/bash-long-path.png)

This way I do not have a straight line of comands each one above the previous also, which could be easier to read.

As I said, Zsh has got a right prompt (`RPROMPT` variable) that can be used to display all sort of information (e.g. the location path and the current time, as you can see in the next picture) having the beginning of the command line always at the same level, but the real good thing is that the **RPROMPT disappears when you need more space**

![zsh-long-path](/images/zsh-long-path.png)

I still prefer to have even more space, so I changed the right prompt in order to show the current working directory and its parent only(the `%2c` variable, where 2 is the number of folders to show)

{% highlight bash %}
RPROMPT='%2c %F{yellow} %T%f'
{% endhighlight %}

### The Integration with GIT

With Zsh functions I could **integrate some GIT information** from the list above directly into the command line: the **current branch**, the most recent **tag**, uncommitted **changes** and **stashed content**:

![zsh-with-git-info](/images/zsh-with-git.png)

Current branch is shown in cyan, followed by the most recent tag (if any) in green. Changes to be committed are suggested by the symbol *↪* and the number of stashed changes by the pattern *SN* in red (N is the number of stashed changes). And this is the code

{% highlight bash %}
_prompt_git_status()
{
    local __git_branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null)

    if [ -n "${__git_branch}" ]; then
        echo -n '[%F{cyan}'$__git_branch'%f'

        local __git_tag=$(git describe --tag --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null)
        if [ ! -z ${__git_tag} ]; then
            echo -n "-%F{green}${__git_tag}%f"
        fi
        echo -n "]"

        local __git_modified=$(git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no 2>/dev/null | wc -l )
        if [ -n "${__git_modified}" ]; then
            if [ "0" = "${__git_modified}" ]; then
                echo -n "-"
            else
                echo -n '↪'
            fi
        fi

        local __git_stash=$(git stash list 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
        if [ -n "${__git_stash}" ]; then
            if [ "0" = "${__git_stash}" ]; then
                echo -n "-"
            else
                echo -n " %F{red}S${__git_stash}%f"
            fi
        fi
    fi
}

RPROMPT='$(_prompt_git_status) %2c %F{yellow} %T%f'
{% endhighlight %}

### Conclusion

In this post I summarized the simple and productive Shell environment I configured using ZSH for normal work and for work with GIT, having under my sight all the information I need without using any command/function. For sure I will add other info to my prompt in the future, but to complete the post I would suggest to **avoid adding to much functions to ZSH prompt**. Those function are executed every time you press return, so it is better if they are not time expensive or, even worst, blocking.

Help ! What's offensive ?
That almost sounds like they used a learning algorithm so they wouldn't have to manually add in new entries.
I suppose Tari answered that well and truly.
I can't remember the details but there was actually a time when the name of one of LL's development projects was flagged on MP.
You're totally missing the point here. In this thread, it was speculated that 17LI set off a no go because it resembled loli. Then, why would 17LI ring alarm bells and loli apparently not?
The word loli causes the same problem.
But apparently it is okay to have Loli as part of the product title - found a few such products on MP.
Interesting. On a Gacha alt I have this old Pwnie Plushie I can't list because it has loli in the description albeit nothing at all to do with that type of thing. It simply won't let me list it with that name in the title.
It WOULD be easy to test, if the programming utilized hard coded absolutes, but we all know it does not. Now whether or not it utilizes a set (it couldn't possibly utilize a singular) of learning/self teaching algorithms to adjust, change, alter, whatever terms one wants to use, this particular section of the coding..I can't be certain. In fact, it has been made extremely clear that even LL can't be certain, because they too don't understand it. It would, however, probably be the best guess that anyone, including LL could possibly make as to why it is so screwed up and doesn't actually meet any hard coded "rules" for allowed or disallowed phrases (and that applies to not only item titles, but also descriptions, keywords, etc..). I have absolutely no doubt that it could be fixed, or that changes have been made in the past to this area (like I said been an issue since day one and phrases wouldn't randomly appear and disappear as disallowed without changes being made). I do, however, doubt that LL is capable of properly fixing it.
So I simply choose to laugh at the absurdities of the entire process, because otherwise, I would be bald from pulling my hair out over it all. I've found, as with many issues, it's better to laugh at it, and those apologists that try to explain that this is how something like this should function, than it is to stress over it. Sometimes it helps to ask others, such as the OP did here, because odds are good, merchants here know why your listing set off a trigger. But otherwise..eh...don't expect LL, or anyone trying to answer for them, to give you a real answer, *ain't happenin*.
With over 4,800 characters still available, wouldn't it've been easier to have typed 'land impact' in the first place.
I hate abbreviations in Marketplace descriptions, as sometimes they can misunderstood or left open to interpretation.
An item description is a place where clarity should be paramount. Lazy description, to me, implies lazy seller.
I was gonna guess "hard man"
With over 4,800 characters still available, wouldn't it've been easier to have typed 'land impact' in the first place. ... lazy seller.

How the Tea Party's Apocalyptic Politics Are Destroying the Republican Party
Tea Party leaders view themselves as modern prophets of the end of times, ratcheting up their rhetoric to prove that Obama is evil and God is on their side.
Joe McLean
Want to know why the Tea Party so eager to grievously wound the Republican Party? The answer is as simple as it is counterintuitive: its leaders view themselves as modern prophets of the apocalypse.
In the aftermath of the great government shutdown of 2013, the Tea Party continues to cause heartburn for establishment Republicans. Consider the results of last week's elections, which offer clues to the internecine GOP battles that lie ahead. Although it's much too early to draw hard conclusions, Chris Christie proved that a moderate, common-sense Republican could win in deep blue New Jersey, while in purple Virginia the wild-eyed social reactionary Ken Cuccinelli failed to gain traction outside his uber-conservative Christian-right base.
Yet the Tea Party is willing to defy overwhelming negative public opinion, wreck the government, risk plunging the world economy into chaos and invite political defeat. The driving force behind this destructive strategy is that Tea Party zealots answer to a "higher calling."
They believe America teeters on the brink of destruction, and hold as an article of faith that liberals, gays, Democrats, atheists and the United Nations are to blame. This "end-times" world-view is a foundational precept of the evangelical movement, from which many of the so-called Tea Party favorites spring. Scholars call it apocalypticism.
Of course, the Tea Party is not just composed of members of the Christian right. Many are genuine libertarians. Some nurse an unreconstructed Confederate grudge, while others harbor a thinly disguised racism. However, the real energy, the animating force for the movement comes from evangelicals, of whom Ted Cruz, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin are the most strident. These are the modern-day "apocalyptic prophets."
Although the issues are secular, the prophets' anti-Obamacare rhetoric rings with religious, end-times cadences. So to understand why they invoke chaos, we need to know where their ideas about an "apocalypse" came from.
Most theologians, including the revered Albert Schweitzer, believe John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth were Jewish apocalypticists. Simply put, these first-century prophets believed they were living in the "end times" before God would send his representative, the "Son of Man" (taken from a rather obscure passage in the Book of Daniel), to overthrow the forces of evil and establish God's justice on earth. Apocalypse literally translates as "the revealing" of God's will. For these early prophets the Kingdom of God was not to be a church, but a military and political kingdom on earth.
Lest this sound far-fetched to modern ears, listen to our modern Tea Party prophets in their own words:
"You know we can't keep going down this road much longer. We're nearing the edge of the cliff . . . We have only a couple of years to turn this country around or we go off the cliff to oblivion!" - Ted Cruz at the Values Voters Summit, Oct. 11
". . . I'm a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times, which is your ministry, we are to understand where we are in God's End Times history. Rather than seeing this as a negative . . . we need to rejoice, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus, His day is at hand. And so what we see up is down and right is called wrong, when this is happening, we were told this, that these days would be as the days of Noah. We are seeing that in our time." - Michelle Bachmann, Oct. 5, 2013
"And this administration will been [sic] complicit in helping people who wants [sic] to destroy our country." – Louie Gohmert on the floor of the U.S. House
"The biggest war being waged right now is against our religious liberties and traditional values." - Rep. Tim Huelskamp, Values Voters Summit
"The fight for religious freedom starts here at home because we are one nation under God." - House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Values Voters Summit
For these apocalyptic prophets, the issues aren't even political anymore; they're existential, with Obamacare serving as the avatar for all evil. In this construct, any compromise whatsoever leads to damnation, and therefore the righteous ends justify any means.
Much of the prophets' message is couched in populist language. It sounds familiar to us because we've heard it all before. Historically whenever our country has experienced economic stress an angry, reactionary vein of populism surfaces. Sometimes called "Jacksonian," this common thread actually reaches back to the American Revolution, then to Shay's Rebellion, through Jackson's "Augean Stables" to William Jennings Bryan's rants against science in the Scopes "Monkey Trial." It includes "Know-Nothings," Anti-Masons and Huey Long's "Every Man a King." George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door and Ross Perot sabotaged George Bush the Elder's re-election. Except for Andrew Jackson, each burst of populist fervor ended badly.
Our modern prophets are fundamentally different. Their dogma springs from Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, through James Dobson's Family Research Council, to the eerily omnipresent Fellowship and its C Street house.
Ted Cruz's father, Raphael was seen in recently uncovered videos calling for America to be ruled by "kings" who will take money from anyone who is not an evangelical Christian and deliver it into the hands of fundamentalist preachers and their acolytes. This is a movement is called "Christian Dominionism," and it has many adherents the evangelical right. It is also obviously and dangerously anti-democratic. These new apocalyptic prophets, and the demagogues who profit (pun intended) from them, see themselves locked in mortal combat against the Anti-Christ in a fight for America's soul – and wealth.
Now if you are battling the forces of evil for the very survival of the nation, there can be no retreat, no compromise, and no deals. Like the Jewish zealots at Masada, it's better to commit glorious suicide than make peace with the devil. There can be no truce with the Tea Party because its apocalyptic zealots can never take "yes" for an answer.
Since the apocalyptists cannot compromise, they must be beaten. President Obama and congressional Democrats seem to have finally grasped this fact, and are learning how to deal with them. By refusing to knuckle under to extortion in the government shutdown drama, Obama exposed their reckless radicalism and won resoundingly.
But Democrats can't solve this problem alone. To bring any semblance of order back to the American political system and restore a functioning two-party system, the GOP has to find its own equilibrium. Thankfully, this process has already begun.
Establishment Republicans, corporate CEOs and Wall Street moguls stand appalled at the Tea Party monster they helped to create. Formerly cowed into silence, they are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall and speak out against the self-destructive zealots.
In conservative Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli was largely abandoned by the GOP establishment. Many Republican leaders even went so far as to endorse the Democrat, Terry McAuliffe. Unable to raise significant money from the Republican establishment, Cuccinelli was outspent more than ten-to-one. While Virginians rejected a conservative who believes government's role is to regulate morality, New Jersey voters chose a conservative Republican who believes government has a constructive, practical role to play.
The contrast is striking – and instructive. Until Republicans slug it out among themselves and decide which kind of party they want to be, we will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis.
This family fight will not be easy or bloodless. The Tea Party represents roughly one-half of the Republican base. They love Cruz, Palin and the chorus of other voices crying in the wilderness. They are unified in their hatred of Obama, and they are organized down to the precinct level. More importantly, they despise the moderate voices in their own party.
Gerrymandered congressional districts guarantee many safe Tea Party seats. Powerful think tanks and advocacy groups like The Heritage Foundation, the Chamber of Commerce, American Enterprise Institute and others, which in years past underpinned the Republican establishment, are now heavily invested in the right-wing agenda and will not be easily co-opted. Deep-pocketed militants like the Koch brothers will keep the cash flowing, and right-wing talk radio-heads will whip up the aggrieved faithful.
It's almost impossible to predict how this family fight will end, but there are at least two possible outcomes:
First, the pragmatists win. The Grand Old Party could be led out of the wilderness by a charismatic figure a la Chris Christie, who is viewed as a straight-talking, practical problem-solver. Any such leader will have to arise outside Washington. The pragmatists' backers would include big business, Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, GOP lobbyists and a plethora of wealthy patrons who can't afford any more Tea Party shenanigans.
They have a strong case. Moderates have won some dramatic conservative victories over the years, delivering massive tax cuts, reforming welfare, de-regulating Wall Street, diluting Roe v. Wade, reviving federalism with block grants and reshaping today's conservative Supreme Court.
Second, the hard-liners revolt. The party splinters, and out of the wreckage a new center-right "Whig Party" emerges. This is not so far-fetched as it may seem. A recent bi-partisan polling by NBC and Esquire Magazine reveals a wide plurality: 51% of Americans view themselves as centrists, not deeply invested in either party.
Not surprisingly, these moderates have both liberal and conservative views. 64% support gay marriage, 63% support abortion in the first trimester, 52% support legalizing marijuana, and they support a strong social safety net by wide margins. But 81% support offshore drilling, 90% support the death penalty and 57% are against affirmative action. So a new moderate coalition might well attract significant support from the moderate middle, establishment Republicans, Independents and centrist Democrats too.
Unfortunately for the apocalyptic prophets, only 29% of the moderate middle thinks churches or religious organization should have any role at all in politics. So like the prophets of old, they seem fated to join that long sad procession of failed zealots and martyrs who were overwhelmed by hard reality and their own rigid dogma.

Koprivnica  (Hongaars: Kapronca , Duits: Kopreinitz) is een stad in centraal Kroatië met 30.994 inwoners, tevens hoofdstad van  de provincie Koprivnica-Križevci. Koprivnica ligt vlak bij de Kroatisch-Hongaarse grens, aan de rivier de Drava.

De geschiedenis van Koprivnica lijkt op die van het nabijgelegen Varaždin: de stad wordt voor het eerst genoemd in 1272, in een document van Ladislaus IV van Hongarije. In 1356 wordt het door Lodewijk I van Hongarije uitgeroepen tot vrije stad, waarna de stad floreerde als handelspost.

In de 16e eeuw was de stad onderdeel van het militaire front, de versterkte zuidgrens van Oostenrijk-Hongarije in diverse oorlogen tegen de Ottomanen. Vanaf 1765 werd het dankzij ene decreet van Maria Theresia van Oostenrijk weer een rustige handelsstad.

Koprivnica groeide sterk in de twintigste eeuw als gevolg van een groeiende levensmiddelenindustrie.

Who wants to be a millionaire? Actually, the question should be, "Who is going to be a millionaire?" The answer is 'you,' if you adhere to some basic principles and stick to a simple plan. Sound too good to be true? It's not. In fact, it's a tangible benchmark within reach and deserved for most working fitness professionals.
As an industry we have become good at what we do; really good. We have studied the best forms of physical evaluation to develop optimal programming for our clients. We now integrate the latest technology to provide the safest and most progressive exercise routines. We continue to learn effective exercise for those with special needs or considerations. We have (perhaps) never been better educated and able to serve. Yet, despite the proliferation of educational resources available to fitness professionals, financial education is sorely missing. Not coincidentally, fitness professionals generally have weak money muscles. Many don't earn what they deserve, and even fewer view this a potentially lucrative career option with the opportunity to provide both a comfortable living as well as a secure future.
Rule #1 - Establish savings: This is a safety net to be used only for short-term emergencies. This is not an investment! Depending on your personal situation, you'll need anywhere from 3-18 months of living expenses.
Rule #2 - Live below your means: If you spend more than you earn, you create debt. When you earn more than you spend, you create opportunity to save and invest. Be sure your expenses are less than your earnings.
Rule #3 - Become an investor: Take a portion of your earnings and place it in an asset class that has history of appreciation. You work for your money. Let your money work for you also!
Rule #4 - Have a plan: Know what you want. Now determine how you will get there and stay accountable to the plan. The biggest mistake people make is to act without a plan and therefore they deviate off course with ease never to arrive at their desired destination.
Rule #5 - Be patient: The surest way to millionaire status is to stick to your plan and allow the power of compound interest to add/increase in value over time.
Rule #6 - Know and understand your risk tolerance: Can you emotionally handle setbacks such as a down market? Can you financially afford a short-term loss? Don't invest what you don't have or what you can't afford to lose.
Rule #7 - Avoid fear: Know that setbacks are setups for comebacks. "Buy low, sell high" is the opposite of what most people do, and most people are just over broke.
Rule #8 - Practice diversification: Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Stocks, bonds, business or real estate, all sectors will go through swings. Diversification ensures that all is not lost at the same time. Remember that the more your risk, the more you may gain but the more you could potentially lose. *Speak to a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Qualified Advisor to help develop an appropriate portfolio based on your goals, needs and tolerance.
Rule #9 - Seek professional help: Don't just turn your money over to someone to manage; stay engaged and informed. Seek the advice of a CFP or Qualified Agent to get unemotional objective advice, and then become educated yourself.
Rule #10 - Do your own homework: Understand where your money is and don't invest in what you don't understand or know.
Without question, the first three rules are the key. You need savings to handle short-term emergencies. You must live below your means as to not accumulate debt. And you must become an investor so that both you and your money are working to create the wealth you deserve.
Time is a critical factor in any success formula, so the sooner you begin the better you'll do. Start with these 10 simple rules and begin your journey to wealth creation. You can do it, and you deserve it.

Strikers fire blanks as Bandari maintain top spot in FKF league
FOOTBALL By Washington Onyango | October 19th 2021

The 2021-2022 FKF Premier League season resumed over the weekend after a three-week break with round two matches across the country where Bandari was forced to dig deep to maintain their top spot in the new season.
Fans were treated to a five-goal thriller on Saturday when Bandari thrashed hosts Bidco 3-2 at Thika Stadium to maintain a perfect start to the season with six points at the top.
Despite kicking off the round two matches with five goals, only 13 goals in total were witnessed over the weekend in the seven matches played across the country.
The exit of top scorer exit of Erick Kapaito and Elvis Rupia seem to have watered down the local league.
The duo scored a combined 41 goals between them last season, but has since left the local scene in search of greener pastures.

Previously with Kariobangi Sharks, Kapaito who scored 24 goals that saw him voted the league's Most Valuable Player and golden boot winner is currently playing in the Ethiopian Premier League while Rupia who turned out for AFC Leopards si plying his trade in Qatar.
Speaking to the Standard Sports, former FKF Premier League top scorer and Harambee Stars international Boniface Ambani believes the exit of the duo does not affect the league's status and competitiveness but offers opportunity for new stars to rise.
Ambani called upon the current strikers to rise from the shadows and take centre stage because he believes the vacuum left by Kapaito and Rupia can be filled.
"Every player dreams of playing outside Kenya and turning professional. I don't see how that can affect the standards of football. This is because it provides the stage for new strikers to rise up to the occasion."
"The league is only two rounds old and I believe players will rise and compete when action resumes regularly," said Ambani who scored an impressive 26 goals in the then Kenya Premier League season during the 2006 campaign for current champions Tusker.
Meanwhile, Bandari head coach Cassa Bungo is calling for calm among his players.
"There is still work to be done. We thank God for the two wins but I believe we still got a lot of work to do to," he said.
