Custodians work to deep clean MCCSC schools
Emily Cox
Bloomington High School South was still full of activity on Tuesday despite there being no students present — custodians, many wearing black and purple school apparel, sprayed down walls and desks, wiped down surfaces, mopped, scrubbed and disinfected areas of the school as food service workers prepared breakfasts and lunches in the cafeteria.
The roughly 200 custodians who work for the Monroe County Community School Corp. have been deep cleaning school buildings in the district last week and this week amid the COVID-19 pandemic that closed all schools in the state until at least May 1.
Chris Ciolli, MCCSC director of building operations, said custodians worked on the Friday that school closed, March 13, as well as Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, during the district's spring break, which is normal for the MCCSC, he said. Thursday and Friday were paid days off.
Andrea Mobley, MCCSC assistant superintendent, said in an email that to comply with Gov. Eric Holcomb's stay at home order, MCCSC will have limited staff in buildings, including food service, transportation and some custodial staff. Other essential employees will be working at the administration building and a couple other buildings, she said.
Late Tuesday morning in a bathroom connected to the in-school detention room, Glen Stidd, supervisor for custodians at South, powered up a C3 disinfectant cleaning machine, which works under high pressure.
"We use these in any area where we've got hard surfaces that we don't have to worry about any kind of damage," he said. "So with this machine we spray from ceiling to floor."
With paper towels and toilet paper removed, the bathroom was sprayed top to bottom with a primary cleaner, a disinfecting cleaner with peroxide in it, then a disinfectant. Next, the floor is scrubbed, then a water extractor is used on the floor, then the floor is mopped with clean disinfectant water, premixed in a dispenser, followed by a misting of a disinfectant on every single surface, from the toilet to the stall door to the mirror.
There is a proper amount of contact time for each cleaning product, and this time must pass between each step. Products used are on an approved list by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Stidd said.
In a classroom, the first thing custodians do is use pump sprayers filled with hospital grade disinfectant underneath and on top of desks, Stidd said. As the workers who do that portion move on to do the same in another room, more of the crew comes in with buckets of disinfectant and rags to wipe down the desks. Then, the last of the crew comes in to spray the walls and clean hard surfaces like doors and light switches. The floor is cleaned last.
As Tyler McKinney, a custodian in the MCCSC for 11 years who has a kindergartener at Highland Park Elementary School, mopped the in-school detention room, he said he likes not having to worry or wonder if things are getting disinfected and cleaned. He knows for sure because he's done it himself.
Ciolli said workers are careful to make sure all surfaces have the proper wet time, as determined by looking at a product label. For example, he said, Clorox wipes say the surface must remain wet for 4 minutes in order to meet the criteria in killing viruses or bacteria. Staff are being encouraged to stick with products that they know.
"I've learned more about chemicals in the past couple of weeks than I think I ever thought I would know," Ciolli said.
Throughout the cleaning process, everything is carefully tracked.
"Everybody knows the job that they do," Stidd said. "We just completely do it repetitively, over and over and over."
There's a night crew and a crew assigned to each floor of the building, he said. He opened a binder on a cleaning cart, pointing out what each sheet inside entailed. What was done and what was not done is tracked by date, room and who did what and category, such as light switches, phones and desktops. One day, Stidd focused on cleaning all water fountains in the school, which there are a lot of, he said with a smile.
"Then I check it, I verify it, I date it," Stidd said, closing the binder. "And we're done."
Differing from the norm
Ciolli said what's being done isn't the same as the traditional deep cleaning that takes place in the summer, because when students and staff left buildings on March 12, they assumed they would be coming back the next day. But that wasn't the case, as MCCSC announced on that evening that schools would be closed the next day, a Friday.
"They didn't really have an opportunity to take their personal belongings out of the classrooms. The desks are still full," Ciolli said. "Teachers still have all their materials, items in their rooms."
Currently, what custodians have been doing is cleaning and sanitizing every surface possible — desktops, legs, the backs and bottoms of chairs, light switches, door knobs and windows.
Standing in a hallway that branches off the South cafeteria, Stidd pointed out signs are put up on water fountains, lockers, bathrooms and doors that say "area cleaned and disinfected." They'll stay up until students come back, so they can see them and know the area is clean, he said.
As teachers have been coming back in to hand out lesson plans or musical instruments, the custodial staff know what rooms they were in, so they go back and do the entire process again, Ciolli and Stidd explained.
Then, doors are shut and areas are locked down to avoid any more traffic.
The cafeteria is disinfected after every time meals are delivered, Stidd said, from the kitchen to the front door handles. The kitchen is taken care of by food service personnel and tables are disinfected with chemicals that are food grade, but the rest is handled by the custodians.
Buses have also been getting deep cleaned, with the outside being power washed and inside being sanitized. The buses are a little bit more challenging, Ciolli said, because many are still being used to transport and deliver meals. Each day when a driver parks their bus they spray sanitizing solution and let it dry. There will be another complete cleaning of buses before students are back on them, Ciolli said.
Getting supplies
MCCSC buys cleaning products through Ferguson Enterprises, the same company that provides chemicals to Indiana University and other large organizations, Ciolli said.
"Before this ever really came to a head we had a comfortable amount of material supplies stockpiled, if you will," Ciolli said.
But now, hand sanitizer and hard surface wipes are hard to come by, he said, so workers are using a spray solution, made up of the same components as a wipe, on a paper towel or cloth towel. Ciolli said with those minor adjustments he still feels comfortable about the amount of cleaning products on hand.
It's important to recognize the support staff of custodians, maintenance crews and kitchen employees, he said, who are working nonstop and going into spaces where some people don't feel comfortable.
"I can't stress enough what a good job they're doing," he said. "They're taking this very serious, not that they don't take their job serious on a regular basis, but they are going above and beyond to make sure people have a level of comfort that buildings are cleaned and sanitized."

Q: How to change the status bar background color and text color on iOS 7? My current application runs on iOS 5 and 6.
The navigation bar is having an orange color and the status bar is having a black background color with white text color. However, when I run the same application on iOS 7, I observe the status bar looks transparent with the same orange background color as the navigation bar and the status bar text color is black.
Due to this I'm not able to differentiate between the status bar and the navigation bar.
How do I make the status bar to look the same as it was in iOS 5 and 6, that is with black background color and white text color? How can I do this programmatically?

A: Write this in your ViewDidLoad Method:
if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setEdgesForExtendedLayout:)]) {
    self.edgesForExtendedLayout=UIRectEdgeNone;
    self.extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars=NO;
    self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets=NO;
}

It fixed status bar color for me and other UI misplacements also to a extent.

A: Here's a total, copy and paste solution, with an
absolutely correct explanation
of every issue involved.
With thanks to Warif Akhand Rishi !
for the amazing find regarding keyPath statusBarWindow.statusBar. Good one.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {

    // handle the iOS bar!

    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<
    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<
    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<
    // "Status Bar Style" refers to the >>>>>color of the TEXT<<<<<< of the Apple status bar,
    // it does NOT refer to the background color of the bar. This causes a lot of confusion.
    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<
    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<
    // >>>>>NOTE<<<<<

    // our app is white, so we want the Apple bar to be white (with, obviously, black writing)

    // make the ultimate window of OUR app actually start only BELOW Apple's bar....
    // so, in storyboard, never think about the issue. design to the full height in storyboard.
    let h = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height
    let f = self.window?.frame
    self.window?.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: h, width: f!.size.width, height: f!.size.height - h)

    // next, in your plist be sure to have this: you almost always want this anyway:
    // <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
    // <false/>

    // next - very simply in the app Target, select "Status Bar Style" to Default.
    // Do nothing in the plist regarding "Status Bar Style" - in modern Xcode, setting
    // the "Status Bar Style" toggle simply sets the plist for you.

    // finally, method A:
    // set the bg of the Apple bar to white.  Technique courtesy Warif Akhand Rishi.
    // note: self.window?.clipsToBounds = true-or-false, makes no difference in method A.
    if let sb = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView {
        sb.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
        // if you prefer a light gray under there...
        //sb.backgroundColor = UIColor(hue: 0, saturation: 0, brightness: 0.9, alpha: 1)
    }

    /*
    // if you prefer or if necessary, method B:
    // explicitly actually add a background, in our app, to sit behind the apple bar....
    self.window?.clipsToBounds = false // MUST be false if you use this approach
    let whiteness = UIView()
    whiteness.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: -h, width: f!.size.width, height: h)
    whiteness.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
    self.window!.addSubview(whiteness)
    */

    return true
}

A: for the background you can easily add a view, like in example:
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,320, 20)];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0 green:0/255.0 blue:0/255.0 alpha:0.1];
[navbar addSubview:view];

where "navbar" is a UINavigationBar.

A: Just to add to Shahid's answer - you can account for orientation changes or different devices using this (iOS7+):
- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ...

  //Create the background
  UIView* statusBg = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.window.frame.size.width, 20)];
  statusBg.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:.7];

  //Add the view behind the status bar
  [self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:statusBg];

  //set the constraints to auto-resize
  statusBg.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = NO;
  [statusBg.superview addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:statusBg attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:statusBg.superview attribute:NSLayoutAttributeTop multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0]];
  [statusBg.superview addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:statusBg attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:statusBg.superview attribute:NSLayoutAttributeLeft multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0]];
  [statusBg.superview addConstraint:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintWithItem:statusBg attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight relatedBy:NSLayoutRelationEqual toItem:statusBg.superview attribute:NSLayoutAttributeRight multiplier:1.0 constant:0.0]];
  [statusBg.superview addConstraints:[NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:[statusBg(==20)]" options:0 metrics:nil views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(statusBg)]];
  [statusBg.superview setNeedsUpdateConstraints];
  ...
}

A: Swift 4:
// Change status bar background color
let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView

statusBar?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

A: Change background color of status bar:
Swift:
let proxyViewForStatusBar : UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0,self.view.frame.size.width, 20))
        proxyViewForStatusBar.backgroundColor=UIColor.whiteColor()
        self.view.addSubview(proxyViewForStatusBar)

A: While handling the background color of status bar in iOS 7, there are 2 cases
Case 1: View with Navigation Bar
In this case use the following code in your viewDidLoad method
 UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
 CGFloat statusBarHeight = app.statusBarFrame.size.height;

 UIView *statusBarView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, -statusBarHeight, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, statusBarHeight)];
 statusBarView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
 [self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:statusBarView];

Case 2: View without Navigation Bar
In this case use the following code in your viewDidLoad method
 UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
 CGFloat statusBarHeight = app.statusBarFrame.size.height;

 UIView *statusBarView =  [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, statusBarHeight)];
 statusBarView.backgroundColor  =  [UIColor yellowColor];
 [self.view addSubview:statusBarView];

Source link http://code-ios.blogspot.in/2014/08/how-to-change-background-color-of.html

A: 1) set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES in the plist
2) in viewDidLoad do a [self setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate];
3) add the following method:
 -(UIStatusBarStyle)preferredStatusBarStyle{
    return UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
 }

UPDATE:
also check developers-guide-to-the-ios-7-status-bar

A:
Warning: It does not work anymore with iOS 13 and Xcode 11.

========================================================================
I had to try look for other ways. Which does not involve addSubview on window. Because I am moving up the window when keyboard is presented.
Objective-C
- (void)setStatusBarBackgroundColor:(UIColor *)color {

    UIView *statusBar = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] valueForKey:@"statusBarWindow"] valueForKey:@"statusBar"];

    if ([statusBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundColor:)]) {
        statusBar.backgroundColor = color;
    }
}

Swift
func setStatusBarBackgroundColor(color: UIColor) {

    guard  let statusBar = UIApplication.sharedApplication().valueForKey("statusBarWindow")?.valueForKey("statusBar") as? UIView else {
        return
    }

    statusBar.backgroundColor = color
}

Swift 3
func setStatusBarBackgroundColor(color: UIColor) {

    guard let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView else { return }

    statusBar.backgroundColor = color
}

Calling this form application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions worked for me.
N.B. We have an app in the app store with this logic. So I guess it is okay with the app store policy.

Edit:
Use at your own risk. Form the commenter @Sebyddd

I had one app rejected cause of this, while another was accepted just
  fine. They do consider it private API usage, so you are subject to
  luck during the reviewing process :) – Sebyddd

A: You can set background color for status bar during application launch or during viewDidLoad of your view controller.
extension UIApplication {

    var statusBarView: UIView? {
        return value(forKey: "statusBar") as? UIView
    }

}

// Set upon application launch, if you've application based status bar
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
        return true
    }
}

or
// Set it from your view controller if you've view controller based statusbar
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
    }

}

Here is result:

Here is Apple Guidelines/Instruction about status bar change. Only Dark & light (while & black) are allowed in status bar.
Here is - How to change status bar style:
If you want to set status bar style, application level then set UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to NO in your `.plist' file.
if you wan to set status bar style, at view controller level then follow these steps:

*

*Set the UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to YES in the .plist file, if you need to set status bar style at UIViewController level only.

*In the viewDidLoad add function - setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate

*override preferredStatusBarStyle in your view controller.
-
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate()
}

override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
    return .lightContent
}

A: In iOS 7 the status bar doesn't have a background, therefore if you put a black 20px-high view behind it you will achieve the same result as iOS 6.
Also you may want to read the iOS 7 UI Transition Guide for further information on the subject.

A: Goto your app info.plist

*

*Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO

*Set Status bar style to UIStatusBarStyleLightContent
Then Goto your app delegate and paste the following code where you set your Windows's RootViewController.
#define SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(v)  ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare:v options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0"))
{
UIView *view=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0,[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, 20)];
view.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];
[self.window.rootViewController.view addSubview:view];
}

A: In the case of swift 2.0 on iOS 9
Place the following in the app delegate, under didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
    let view: UIView = UIView.init(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.size.width, 20))

    view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()  //The colour you want to set

    view.alpha = 0.1   //This and the line above is set like this just if you want
                          the status bar a darker shade of
                          the colour you already have behind it.

    self.window!.rootViewController!.view.addSubview(view)

A: iTroid23 solution worked for me. I missed the Swift solution. So maybe this is helpful:
1) In my plist I had to add this:
<key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key>
<true/>

2) I didn't need to call "setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate".
3) In swift I had to add this to my UIViewController:
override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent
}

A: If you're using a UINavigationController, you can use an extension like this:
extension UINavigationController {
    private struct AssociatedKeys {
        static var navigationBarBackgroundViewName = "NavigationBarBackground"
    }

    var navigationBarBackgroundView: UIView? {
        get {
            return objc_getAssociatedObject(self,
                                        &AssociatedKeys.navigationBarBackgroundViewName) as? UIView
        }
        set(newValue) {
             objc_setAssociatedObject(self,
                                 &AssociatedKeys.navigationBarBackgroundViewName,
                                 newValue,
                                 .OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN)
        }
    }

    func setNavigationBar(hidden isHidden: Bool, animated: Bool = false) {
       if animated {
           UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
               self.navigationBarBackgroundView?.isHidden = isHidden
           }
       } else {
           navigationBarBackgroundView?.isHidden = isHidden
       }
    }

    func setNavigationBarBackground(color: UIColor, includingStatusBar: Bool = true, animated: Bool = false) {
        navigationBarBackgroundView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.clear

        let setupOperation = {
            if includingStatusBar {
                self.navigationBarBackgroundView?.isHidden = false
                if self.navigationBarBackgroundView == nil {
                    self.setupBackgroundView()
                }
                self.navigationBarBackgroundView?.backgroundColor = color
            } else {
                self.navigationBarBackgroundView?.isHidden = true
                self.navigationBar.backgroundColor = color
            }
        }

        if animated {
            UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3) {
                setupOperation()
            }
        } else {
            setupOperation()
        }
    }

    private func setupBackgroundView() {
        var frame = navigationBar.frame
        frame.origin.y = 0
        frame.size.height = 64

        navigationBarBackgroundView = UIView(frame: frame)
        navigationBarBackgroundView?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = true
        navigationBarBackgroundView?.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleBottomMargin]

        navigationBarBackgroundView?.isUserInteractionEnabled = false

        view.insertSubview(navigationBarBackgroundView!, aboveSubview: navigationBar)
    }
}

It basically makes the navigation bar background transparent and uses another UIView as the background. You can call the setNavigationBarBackground method of your navigation controller to set the navigation bar background color together with the status bar.
Keep in mind that you have to then use the setNavigationBar(hidden: Bool, animated: Bool) method in the extension when you want to hide the navigation bar otherwise the view that was used as the background will still be visible.

A: Try this.
Use this code in your appdelegate class didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
[application setStatusBarHidden:NO];
UIView *statusBar = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] valueForKey:@"statusBarWindow"] valueForKey:@"statusBar"];
if ([statusBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundColor:)]) {
    statusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}

A: Swift 4
In Info.plist add this property
View controller-based status bar appearance to NO
and after that in AppDelegate inside the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions add these lines of code
UIApplication.shared.isStatusBarHidden = false
UIApplication.shared.statusBarStyle = .lightContent

A: The below code snippet should work with Objective C.
if (@available(iOS 13.0, *)) {
    UIView *statusBar = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow.windowScene.statusBarManager.statusBarFrame] ;
    statusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:statusBar];
} else {
    // Fallback on earlier versions
    UIView *statusBar = [[[UIApplication sharedApplication] valueForKey:@"statusBarWindow"] valueForKey:@"statusBar"];
    if ([statusBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundColor:)]) {
        statusBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];//set whatever color you like
    }
}

A: For bar color: You provide a custom background image for the bar.
For text color: Use the information in About Text Handling in iOS

A: I succeeded to customize StatusBar color pretty simple adding in AppDelegate.cs file in the method:
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
next code:
UIView statusBar = UIApplication.SharedApplication.ValueForKey(new NSString("statusBar")) as UIView;

if (statusBar!=null && statusBar.RespondsToSelector(new Selector("setBackgroundColor:")))
{
   statusBar.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex(RedColorHex).ToUIColor();
}

So you get something like this:

Link: https://jorgearamirez.wordpress.com/2016/07/18/lesson-x-effects-for-the-status-bar/

A: In Swift 5 and Xcode 10.2
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: DispatchTime.now() + Double(Int64(0.1 * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC))) / Double(NSEC_PER_SEC), execute: {

//Set status bar background colour
let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView
statusBar?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
//Set navigation bar subView background colour
   for view in controller.navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews ?? [] {
      view.tintColor = UIColor.white
      view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
   }
})

Here i fixed status bar background colour and navigation bar background colour. If you don't want navigation bar colour comment it.

A: Swift code
let statusBarView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.width, height: 20.0))
statusBarView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
self.navigationController?.view.addSubview(statusBarView)

A: You can use like below, for iOS 13* and Swift 4.
1 -> Set View controller-based status bar appearance to NO
extension UIApplication {
var statusBarView: UIView? {
    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
       let statusBar =  UIView()

        statusBar.frame = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame

        UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.addSubview(statusBar)

        return statusBar
    } else {
        let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView
        return statusBar
    }
}

use
in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
UIApplication.shared.statusBarView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

A: Use This Extention
extension UINavigationController {

  func setStatusBar(backgroundColor: UIColor) {
    let statusBarFrame: CGRect
    if #available(iOS 13.0, *) {
        statusBarFrame = view.window?.windowScene?.statusBarManager?.statusBarFrame ?? CGRect.zero
    } else {
        statusBarFrame = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame
    }
    let statusBarView = UIView(frame: statusBarFrame)
    statusBarView.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
    view.addSubview(statusBarView)
  }
}

A: Xcode 12 +
You can change it with YourProject.xcodeproj file in General
Tab there is option to chnage status bar color
you can set dark light or default with this option
Thanks.

The Brandywine River Museum, frequently referred to as the Wyeth Museum due to its extensive collection of works by the Wyeth family, is housed in an old 19th century grist mill in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. In 2008, the museum announced its plans for the creation of a special community outreach program intended to help low-income students attending educational and community organizations in the greater Philadelphia region and in New Castle County, Delaware. The inaugural group, consisting of eighty fifth-grade students from Caln Elementary in Thorndale, Pennsylvania, visited the museum on January 30th, 2008 to view the exquisite art works on display, as well as a special exhibition by Jerry Pinkney. The museum is committed to the preservation and exhibition of American art. It showcases landscapes and still-life pieces by various artists from the Brandywine region.
Within the walls of the Brandywine River Museum hangs a vast collection of works done by three generations of Wyeths: Newell Convers (N.C.), Andrew and Jamie. N.C. Wyeth settled in the Brandywine Valley in 1902. The museum houses approximately 40 of his works, including 'The Black Arrow', 'The Boy's King Arthur', 'The Old Pew', 'The Last of the Mohicans' and pieces from 'Treasure Island' and 'Kidnapped.' N.C.'s house and studio were also acquired by the museum and are now open for tours. N.C.'s five children were artistically adept as well. His well-known daughters, Carolyn and Henriette, possessed tremendous artistic talent and are well-represented in the museum. N.C.'s youngest son, Andrew, was particularly gifted and went on to become one of the most influential figures in American art.
The Andrew Wyeth Gallery contains approximately 40 watercolors, tempera, and dry brush paintings, some of which being 'Night Sleeper', 'Roasted Chestnuts', 'Siri', 'Snow Hill', 'Trodden Weed', 'Pennsylvania Landscape' and 'Evening at Kuerner's', a painting that portrays the neighboring Kuerner Farm owned by Karl and Anna Kuerner. The farm was a major inspiration for Andrew for over 70 years. His earliest painting of the property goes back to 1932, when Andrew was only a mere 15 years old. The young artist developed a close bond with the couple, and was soon permitted to roam the property and the interior of the house at will to draw and paint. The Kuerner Farm property was acquired by the museum in 1999, and has been offering tours since 2004.
The third generation of Wyeths represented at the Brandywine River Museum is Andrew's younger son, Jamie. In his early twenties, Jamie gained public acclaim for a posthumous painting he had done of the ill-fated John F. Kennedy. On display in the museum, are Jamie's stunning portraits of fellow artist Andy Warhol and dancer Rudolf Nureyev. Jamie is also well-known for his animal portraits, such as 'The Raven', 'Portrait of Pig', and 'Angus', which are also featured in the museum's collection. Jamie is praised for his distinguishing style, which is characterized by powerful images and sharp contrasts. He also has an extensive collection of bird paintings on display at the museum. The pieces range from watercolor to oil on canvas, with some pieces displaying combined mediums. Jamie's bird portraits represent a variety of birds with seemingly human characteristics. See the Brandywine River Museum for more information.

'Missed opportunity': No agreement in latest UN high seas talks
Negotiators have been trying for 15 years to agree on a legally binding text to address the multitude of issues facing international waters.
UN member states have failed to reach an agreement on how to protect the high seas [File: Wyland/NOAA via AP Photo]
Two weeks of negotiations to finally agree a treaty to protect biodiversity in the high seas, have ended in failure.
The latest talks among United Nations member states came to an end on Friday with negotiators unable to thrash out a legally binding text to address the multitude of issues facing international waters – a zone that encompasses almost half the planet.
Formal and informal discussions have been continuing for some 15 years.
"Although we did make excellent progress, we still do need a little bit more time to progress towards the finish line," AFP reported conference chair and UN oceans ambassador Rena Lee as saying.
It will now be up to the UN General Assembly to resume a fifth session of formal talks at a date still to be determined.
Many had hoped the latest session, which began on August 15 at the United Nations headquarters in New York, would finally produce an agreed text on "the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction," or BBNJ for short.
"While it's disappointing that the treaty wasn't finalised during the past two weeks of negotiations, we remain encouraged by the progress that was made," said Liz Karan with the NGO Pew Charitable Trusts, calling for a new session by the end of the year.
There had been hope that an agreement was near after world leaders at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon in July promised to do everything in their power to save the world's seas, although the closing statement at that event included few clear commitments.
The sharing of possible profits from the development of resources in international waters, remained a sensitive issue in the discussion in New York.
'Missed opportunity'
Similar issues of equity arise in other international negotiations, such as on climate change, in which developing nations that feel outsized harm from global warming have tried in vain to get wealthier countries to help pay to offset those effects.
The high seas begin at the border of a nation's exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which by international law reaches no more than 200 nautical miles (370 kilometres) from its coast, and beyond any state's jurisdiction.
Sixty percent of the world's oceans fall under this category.
Healthy marine ecosystems are crucial to the future of humanity, particularly to limit global warming, yet only one percent of international waters are protected.
One of the key pillars of an eventual BBNJ treaty is to allow the creation of marine protected areas, which many nations hope will cover 30 percent of the Earth's ocean by 2030.
"Without establishing protections in this vast area, we will not be able to meet our ambitious and necessary 30 by 30 goal," US State Department official Maxine Burkett said at an earlier press conference.
But delegations still disagree on the process for creating these protected areas, as well as on how to implement a requirement for environmental impact assessments before new activity on the high seas.
"What a missed opportunity …", tweeted Klaudija Cremers, a researcher at the IDDRI think-tank, which, like multiple other NGOs, has a seat with observer status at the negotiations.

Medication eases obsessive-compulsive symptoms
(31 July 2005: VIDYYA MEDICAL NEWS SERVICE) -- A medication used to ease symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, also is helpful in treating people with treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), according to a pilot study at Yale School of Medicine.
Although the study included only 13 patients, the preliminary results are promising for persons who have found no relief using other medications and cognitive behavioral therapy, said the first author, Vladimir Coric, M.D., assistant clinical professor in the Department of Psychiatry and director of the Yale OCD clinic.
"Riluzole appears to have significant antiobsessional, antidepressant, and antianxiety properties," said Coric, who will be presenting the data Friday at the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation annual conference in San Diego.
OCD currently is treated with serotonin reuptake inhibitors, cognitive behavioral therapy and dopamine antagonists, which reduce symptoms in 40-60 percent of patients. "However, a number of patients remain dramatically symptomatic even with the combination of pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy," Coric said.
OCD symptoms include obsessive checking, cleaning, washing, counting, hoarding, touching, tapping, ordering, arranging, rubbing, and other repetitive behaviors. Coric said treatment-resistant OCD is one of the few psychiatric indications for neurosurgical intervention. "Novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed," he said.
Since recent neuroimaging studies suggest that individuals with OCD have abnormalities in corticostriatal glutamate function, Coric and his colleagues tested riluzole, a glutamate modulating agent, on patients with OCD. Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but when in excess may cause neurotoxicity. Seven of the patients treated with riluzole experienced a 35 percent reduction in symptoms and five were categorized as responsive to the treatment. One patient left the study.
"The use of glutamate modulating agents, such as riluzole, may represent a novel treatment intervention for certain anxiety and mood disorders," Coric said.
Co-authors include Sarper Taskiran, M.D., Christopher Pittenger, Suzanne Wasylink, Daniel Mathalon, M.D., Gerald Valentine, John Saksa, Yu-te Wu, Ralitza Gueorguieva, Gerard Sanacora, M.D., and Robert Malison, M.D. John Krystal, M.D., was senior author.

Mastiche
Pistacia lentiscus
Mastic, Pistacia lentiscus, is an evergreen shrub, native to the Mediterranean shores, from Syria to Spain, being found also on the adjacent islands as far as the Canaries. The collection of mastic, however, is localized to the northern part of the Island of Scio, where from all time the tree has been known, exuding most abundantly the resinous tar that, when dried, is known as mastic. The origin of its use is lost in antiquity. Theophrastus (633), fourth century B. C., mentions it, and both Dioscorides (194) and Pliny (514) refer to it, in connection with the Island of Scio, or Chios. The writer of this article made a study of mastic during a journey to the Orient, but as yet has not published the paper. By distillation with alcohol, mastic produces a drink, this also being described in the paper in preparation, the drink being probably of great antiquity, and known to the Greeks and Romans. The use of mastic in medicine followed its empirical employment as a breath sweetener (it being sold in all Oriental bazaars for this purpose) and as a flavor for cordials and other drinks. Perhaps the first record of its authoritative employment in medicine is about the thirteenth century, by the Welsh "Meddygon Myddfai" (507) as an ingredient of ointments.
The History of the Vegetable Drugs of the U.S.P., 1911, was written by John Uri Lloyd.

Will there be a time change?
We will be traveling from Monument Valley to Page AZ for an early morning tour on May 7. Please confirm for me if there will be a time change, as I need to check in for the tour by 8:45am. What time should we plan to leave Monument Valley to travel to Page?
After the tour we will then be traveling to Bryce Canyon NP.
1. Re: Will there be a time change?
Yes, there will be a time change. You'll gain an hour. That means that 8:45 AM in Page will be 9:45 AM at Monument Valley. It's a 2 hour 15 minute drive from Monument Valley to Page. That's wheels turning and if you don't have any delays in route. If it were me, I'd leave MV at 7 AM to have a bit of a cushion. Ideally, I would stay in Page the night before the tour.

Alvaro Uribe, the most prominent supporters of Uribe said Tuesday.
President Uribe met with the main promoters of his re-election, Juan Lozano, Rodrigo Rivera, Luis Carlos Restrepo and Jorge Mario Eastman among others, in the Casa de Nariño to talk about the continuity of the Democratic Security and Uribe's possible re-election, El Espectador reported.
Representative Roy Barreras said that Democratic Security and Uribe's re-election depend on each other, they are "the same referendum". If Uribe will not be re-elected, the Democratic Security policy in this form would end.
"We cannot lose what have been achieved in security matters and the Colombians have to think about it that Alvaro Uribe is the best to do this," Barreras added.
Rodrigo Rivera called on Congress to make a decision on the referendum and not to make a Plan B. "We need to politically maintain Democratic Security," he said.
Uribe still did not give any comment on his possible re-election. "I prefer the silence which does not generate any rumors," the President said.
The final vote on the referendum is postponed after the end of parliamentary recess on July 20. The Supreme Court is investigating a possibly illegal approval of the referendum in Congress.

Book 2 in ARES
Five brave military heroes have survived the hell of a Taliban prison to return home—and take on civilian missions no one else can. They're the men of ARES Security. Highly skilled, intimidating, invincible, and one by one, tested again and again…
Lucas St. Clair's prestigious family had a political future neatly planned out for him—one that didn't include his high school sweetheart, Mia Ramon. Under their pressure, Lucas gave her up. But since surviving captivity, he's a changed man—and a crucial member of ARES Security. When he discovers a dead man clutching a picture of Mia that bears a threatening message, his fiercest protective instincts kick in, and he knows he must go to her.
Mia has never forgiven Lucas for breaking her heart, and she's convinced her feelings for him are in the past. But it's soon clear that isn't true for either of them. Now, determined to solve the crime and keep Mia safe, with his ARES buddies backing him up, Lucas will have to reconstruct the murder victim's last days—and follow a lethal trail that leads right back to the fate of the woman he still loves…
"A fantastic blend of romance and suspense…thrilling to the end." –Mary Burton, USA Today bestselling author on Kill Without Mercy

The worst part of being held in a Taliban prison was the nightmares. At least as far as Lucas St. Clair was concerned.
No matter many years passed, his nights were still plagued with memories being trapped in the smothering darkness of the caves. He could smell the stench of unwashed bodies and undiluted fear. He could hear the muffled sounds of men praying for death.
He knew that his parents assumed that his biggest regret was the derailment of his political aspirations. After all, his military career was intended to be the first step in his climb to a position as a diplomat.
From there…well, his family was nothing, if not ambitious. They'd no doubt seen a White House in his future.
But there were few things that could make a man view his life with the stark clarity of five weeks of brutal torture.
By the time he'd managed to escape the caves, he'd known he was done living his life to please the precious St. Clair clan.
Instead he'd banded together with his friends, Rafe Vargas, a covert ops specialist, Max Grayson who was trained in forensics, Hauk Laurensen, a sniper, and Teagan Moore, a computer wizard, to create ARES Security.
He'd wasted too much of his life.
He intended to leave the past behind and concentrate on his future.
Of course, there was an old saying about 'the best laid plans of mice and men…'
The Saloon was the sort of bar that catered to the locals in the quiet, Houston neighborhood.
It was small, with lots of wood and polished brass. Overhead there was an open beam ceiling, with muted lights that provided a cozy atmosphere and on the weekends they invited a jazz band to play quietly on the narrow stage.
Lucas spent most Friday evenings at the table tucked in a back corner. It was unofficially reserved for the five men who ran ARES Security.
The men liked the quiet ambiance, the communal agreement that everyone should mind their own fucking business, and the fact that the table was situated so no one could sneak up from behind.
Trained soldiers didn't want surprises.
At the moment, the bar was nearly empty. Not only was it a gray, wet Wednesday evening, but it was the first week of December. That meant Christmas madness was in full swing.
Perfectly normal people were now in crazy-mode as they scurried from store to store, battling one another for the latest, have-to-have gift. It was like Thunderdome without Tina Turner.
Currently Lucas and Teagan shared the bar with a young couple seated near the bay window at the front of the bar. Those two were oblivious to everything but each other. And closer to the empty stage was a table of college girls. Already at the giggly stage of drunk they were all blatantly checking him out. At least when they weren't gawking at Teagan.
No biggie.
Both men were accustomed to female attention.
Teagan was a large, heavily muscled man with dark caramel skin, and golden eyes that he'd inherited from his Polynesian mother. He kept his hair shaved close to his skull, and as usual was dressed in a pair of camo pants and shit-kickers. He had an aggressive vibe that was only emphasized by the tight T-shirt that left his arms bare to reveal the numerous tattoos.
Lucas St. Clair, on the other hand, was wearing a thousand dollar suit that was tailored to perfectly fit his lean body. His glossy black hair was smoothed away from his chiseled face that he'd been told could easily grace the covers of fashion magazines. As if he gave a shit.
His eyes were so dark they looked black. It wasn't until he was in the sunlight that it became obvious they were a deep, indigo blue.
Most assumed that he was the less dangerous of the two men.
They'd be wrong.
But while the girls became increasingly more obvious in their attempts to attract their attention, neither man glanced in their direction.
Teagan because he already had a flock of women who included super-models, and two famous actresses.
And Lucas because…he grimaced.
To be honest, he wasn't sure why. He only knew that his interest in women hadn't been the same since he'd crawled out of that hell-hole in Afghanistan. Not unless he counted the hours he spent brooding on one woman in particular.
The one who got away.
Lucas gave a sharp shake of his head, reaching for his shot of tequila. It slid down his throat like liquid fire, burning away the past.
Nothing like a twelve year old vintage to ease the pain.
Lucas glanced toward his companion's empty glass.
"Another round?" he asked.
"Sure." Teagan waited for Lucas to nod toward the bartender, who was washing glasses at the same time keeping a sharp eye on his few customers. "I assume you're picking up the tab?"
Lucas cocked a brow. "Why do I always have to pick up the tab?"
"You're the one with the trust fund, amigo, not me," Teagan said with a shrug. "The only thing my father ever gave me was a concussion and an intimate knowledge of the Texas penal system."
Lucas snorted. It was common knowledge that Lucas would beg in the streets before he would touch a penny of the St. Clair fortune. Just as they all knew that Teagan had risen above his abusive background, and temporary housing in the penitentiary to become a successful businessman. The younger man not only joined ARES, but he owned a mechanic shop that catered to a high-end clientele who had more money than sense when it came to their precious sports cars.

This couple lives in Bay St. Louis Mississippi and wanted a boat that could take them 10 miles out to Cat Island and back regardless of the weather. A 20 foot Proline Outboard Boat fits the requirements. It has high freeboard, a powerful 150 HP Mercury Outboard and a nice vee to slice the seas when running into the weather.
We started with the basics: vessel inspection, equipment inventory and automobile trailer launching procedures. As we drove to the boat ramp I saw a lot of loose gravel on the ramp making traction difficult to pull the boat out of the water. I suggested carrying a garden rake to pull the gravel away to improve traction.
As we launched the boat (yes the plug was in) we reviewed starting procedures then went out into the Mississippi Sound. Lots of practice using the marine radio and GPS Chart Plotter, noting the depth gauge and monitoring water bottom curves and submerged objects. Lunchtime snuck up on us so we anchored to stop and enjoy some New Orleans Po Boys. Weighing anchor, we used the GPS to retrace our course home and put the boat back on the trailer. As expected the loose gravel on the ramp gave us a fit pulling the boat out but we managed. After we pulled the boat home we fresh water flushed the engine and washed the boat.
This was a beautiful day in Late April- warm weather, calm seas and a nostalgic tour of the Mississippi Gulf Coast 3 years after Hurricane Katrina. Please look at the old Oak Tree with the Angels carved into the branches. This tree saved 3 people that were washed out of their collapsing home in the 30 foot tidal surge.They clung in the branches for hours until the storm subsided. Their home is gone and the tree is now dead but the carving will endure time. Also check out the steps that used to go to a house and the bank vault door that is rusted open: the bank building is gone.
A navigation note. The two bridges across Bay St. Louis were destroyed. During demolition and rebuilding the bridge the old concrete rubble was used to make a fish haven about 2 miles south of the bridges in the sound. Beware, this rock pile is in a crescent and above water but NOT on navigation charts, paper or electronic. It is marked on the west side with two lighted nun day markers #2 & #4.

by Rev. Leonard T. Van Horn
Q. 15. — What was the sin whereby our first parents fell from the estate wherein they were created?
A. — The sin whereby our first parents fell from the estate wherein they were created, was their eating the forbidden fruit.
Scripture References: Gen. 3:6. II Cor. 11:3. Ps.49:12.
1. Why did God forbid our first parents to eat this fruit?
He forbade them because He was making a test of their obedience. It was not that the fruit had in itself any evil. It was God's method of seeing whether or not they recognized His Lordship over them.
2. Were our first parents guilty of sin before they tasted of the fruit?
Yes, they were guilty of listening to the devil. But when they tasted o of the fruit they completed the act of sin.
3. Where was the first sin committed?
The first sin was committed in Paradise where God had placed man and created woman.
4. Was Adam deceived in this first sin?
The Bible tells us that he was not deceived. Probably his love for Eve motivated him to join her in this transgression. But he suffered the consequence of this sin just the same and betrayed the whole human race whose representative he was.
5. What was involved in the eating of the forbidden fruit?
There were many sins involved in this act of disobedience. By eating they rebelled against their Sovereign God. By eating they were guilty of treason as they were in league with the devil. By eating they were gratifying ambition, to be as God. By eating they were guilty of unbelief because God had said it was wrong. By eating they were bringing death upon themselves and all their posterity.
6. If one word had to be used in describing this first sin, what word would be best?
Probably the word "pride" would come closer to describing it than any other one word. Calvin states, "Augustine is more correct, who says that pride was the beginning of all evils, and that by pride the human race was ruined …"
THE SECOND LOOK
One often wonders how much time Adam spent in meditation and prayer in the Garden when he was offered the forbidden fruit by his wife. He knew that it was forbidden. He -knew the rule of obedience set up in the Garden. He had everything he wanted. And yet he disobeyed the command of his God and accepted the fruit as offered to him. One wonders whether or not Adam took a second look, whether or not he did much thinking about the step he was a:bout to take.
A great lesson to be learned by God's children today from the trial in the Garden of Eden is the lesson of thinking twice, of praying twice, before taking important steps. God's children always need to learn the lesson of resistance, the resistance of the first temptation to sin In the heart. The hymn writer put it this way: "I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear. The sensibility of sin, the pain to feel it near." Yet so often God's children move into the realm of sin without giving it a second thought, without thinking the matter through, without praying to the Lord for help and guidance. Many times a second look would save them from sinning against God and thereby sinning against themselves and others.
Wordsworth has a few lines in one of his poems that has a great lesson in it which Christians might apply to the matter of temptation. "Look for the stars. You will say there are none; look up a second time, and one by one, you mark them twinkling out with silvery light, and wonder how they could elude the sight!"
Many times we wonder why we did not take that second look, why we could not see the evil surrounding the thought, the action, the word when we first saw it and it seemed good to our eyes. How can we be sure we take a second look? Only by recognizing that we are kept by the power of God and that power will be operative in us if we keep living close to Him and keep His commandments. We can not, we dare not, trust ourselves but only in Him. We must stay close to Him through the study of the Word, through prayer, through service to Him, all to His glory. May God help us ever to take the second look before we leap. (2 Tim. 3:13-17)

Melanotaenia exquisita
Exquisite Rainbowfish
Melanotaenia exquisita has a slender and compressed body. Two dorsal fins, very close together, the first much smaller than the second. Mature males have a higher first dorsal fin, which overlaps the origin of the second dorsal fin when depressed. Females have smaller rounded dorsal and anal fins. May reach a maximum size of 9 cm, but usually less than 8 cm. Adults are olive on the back and silvery white on the lower half. There is a pair of prominent stripes running along the middle of the side with a red stripe just below. A pair of dark zigzag stripes is situated between the red stripe and base of the anal fin. The dorsal, anal, and caudal fins are edged with red, frequently with small black spots. Males are relatively slender compared to that of most other rainbowfishes.
(Absence from other catchments may reflect a lack of sampling rather than non-existence.)
Melanotaenia exquisita was originally collected in 1977 by Gerald Allen and Geoff Evans from the Edith River about 1 km upstream from Lake Malkyullumbo, Northern Territory. At the time Melanotaenia exquisita were believed to occur only in the Northern Territory. However, in 1986 more of these exquisite fishes were collected in the King George River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia by Ray Leggett and Graham Heidke. Then in 1997, another population was discovered by Bruce Hansen in Bindoola Creek, a small stream that flows into the Pentecost River in the Cambridge Gulf in the far north-eastern Western Australia. Since then a number of populations have been found.
N.B. Preliminary genetic studies of Melanotaenia exquisita from Bindoola Creek have shown some clear differences from other known populations.
Melanotaenia exquisita typically inhabit small, clear, swift-flowing streams, often congregating in rock pools at the base of small waterfalls such as Jim Jim Falls in the South Alligator system and Seventeen Mile Falls in the Katherine system (plus the King George Falls in Western Australia). They also occur in the still waters of Lake Malkyullumbo at the base of Edith Falls.

Another rainbowfish species known in the hobby as "Waterfall Creek Exquisita" comes from above the Gunlom Falls (also known as UDP Falls or Waterfall Creek Falls), a tributary of the South Alligator River in Kakadu National Park. Permission to collect specimens from this site for whatever purpose is almost impossible to get. However, there are a number of captive populations in existence. Consensus is that this fish may be a new species and not a variety of Melanotaenia exquisita. They differ from Melanotaenia exquisita by having a deeper body and totally different colour. The males show a charcoal black chequer-board pattern over the body with pink edging on the dorsal and anal fins. When spawning the nape band is bright orange.
Nevertheless, genetic studies (P. J. Unmack 2009, pers. comm.) suggest that the "Waterfall Creek Exquisita" are an introgressed (e.g. hybridised) population of M. exquisita and M. nigrans. Introgression, which seems to be common among some sympatric rainbowfishes in their natural environment, as suggested above, frequently blurs the differentiations of rainbowfishes we recognise as species or populations. Although technically a 'hybrid', this process may contribute to a continuum in speciation and genetic diversity. This may be important to the species' ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions over time. Some populations may become better adapted than others; some may become extinct. However, it is a good idea not to maintain the different varieties together in the same aquarium.

Want to sell your home? Moving is a big decision, we can help!
What should you sell it for and what will be left after you sell it?
I will meet with you, review your home and give you feedback on what buyers will perceive the property if there are fixes that can be done to make it more appealing we can review these to see if the cost of the fix will be worthwhile.
I will also review the value of the home based on recent sales so you can get a good idea about the true market value of the home. Based on this, we can also determine what you will net after you pay off the mortgage, pay the taxes, the attorneys and the commissions. Before you put your home on the market, you'll be aware of the exact figures that you should net.
We can also help determine who you most likely buyer will be. This will help you determine how to negotiate and will help us determine how to market to that customer.
What about your next property? Can we help you figure out if that is affordable?
Many clients move within the Triangle area, and we can absolutely work with you to find your new home here. If you decide to move outside the area though, we have a strong network of highly regarded Realtors who we are happy to introduce you to. Whether you are moving from Raleigh to Apex or from Raleigh to Nome Alaska, we can help you make the move easier and confirm that the new option is well within your budget.
Want to know how long it will take to sell your home, and how it will be advertised?
Based on our expertise we can give you some idea about the anticipated length of time on the market. We obviously advertise a lot so that your home is sold in the quickest timeframe. We utilize professional photography, the latest in virtual tours, drone views, floorplans, blanket website marketing and of course we also provide an intense direct to Realtor marketing plan. The specifics of what your home will need and how the marketing will be designed will be reviewed with you so that you can adjust accordingly.
Overall, we spend an average of $1,000 per listing for the marketing tactics to sell the house. We want to make sure that the marketing is effective, so your home is sold!
Want to know how the best way to respond to low offers, or how to design counter offers to make sure they are going to work out? Is there a way to determine if these buyers are legit?
Our clients get offers for sure. Even in the worst markets we had a 99% sales rate. When you look fabulous, have a lot of traffic and your marketing is designed to appeal to the perfect buyer, you'll get an offer. The problem is trying to figure out what to do when the offer is low or trying to figure out if the buyers are even capable of completing the deal. That is where our expertise comes in. We know exactly how to handle offers because we do it all the time. We know how to review prospective buyers because we do it all the time. You will benefit from that knowledge and you'll know how to craft your response to get the best deal for you.
Inspections will happen, you need negotation then too!
The negotiation for the sales price is only the start of the home selling process. The buyer's will do inspections of the home, and they ask for repairs based on this. We can help you determine which repair is reasonable, and we can provide you with insight into local costs and/or contractors who can perform repairs if need be.
Do you need someone to continually update you regarding the status of the closing, and even attend closing in your place?
Closings get delayed. Usually, the cause of the delay is concerns with underwriting during the loan process. As your agent our job is to keep up with the lender and the process to make sure that the buyer's loan is progressing on time, and find ways to encourage timely response so you can get the proceeds and move on.
Frequently we attend closings to represent you since the seller's side of the transaction usually only takes 5 to 10 minutes at the end. If we do this, you will have reviewed the paperwork prior to closing so you will be fully aware of what your net proceeds will be, and how you will receive the monies.
1. We help you find your next home right here, or the perfect Realtor in your new location.
2. Want to know how to improve the value of your home?
3. Want to know how much the house down the road sold for?
4. Want to know where you can find a good contractor to fix something?
5. Do you want to know whether it is a good idea to refinance your existing loan?
6. You want to repaint or add an addition, call us to learn how to do the work so that you get the best bang for your buck!
7. Are you interested in learning about how roads, businesses and/or school information will affect your home value?
8. Do you want to find an investment property?
9. Do you have a friend or family member who is thinking of moving and you want to make sure they're well cared for?

For those who don't know, Fatherly provides product and service recommendations along with parenting insights from dramatically overqualified people — like, for example, a Navy SEAL captain on how to win hide and go seek.
People often come up to me and say "wow you probably know a lot about being a dad! How many kids do you have? And I say "none". And they say "whoa that's weird" and I snap "well Nickelodeon isn't run by children!"
But running a parenting company as a single, non-dad is actually the most rational business endeavor I've pursued dating back to when I was 10.
Back then I thought I was a full-grown man. I had two successful lemonade stands the previous summer. I hit a home run in Little League earlier in the spring, so I felt really confident in my physical abilities. Plus, I fought a kid and think I won.
I didn't know it at the time, but there were certain things I knew very little about.
Sex, for example, at age 10 was purely notional. It's pre-The Talk, pre-The Internet and I didn't have any older brothers. Well without getting into details, one feverish afternoon I discovered self-love and I knew I discovered a..miracle. With little knowledge of science, few to no street smarts and three days a week of Hebrew School, this revelation convinced me that I had unearthed some Dionysian delight unknown to anyone but me. Where there was once Moses and the Burning Bush, there was now Mike Rothman in the shower. I was like a character in some new New Testament, a god among us in a Jansport backpack who walked among the halls of Oradell Public Elementary school.
In ways that I only later would realize were deeply ironic, I walked taller.
But I couldn't tell anyone. I was dumb but not stupid and knew enough that that whole region was still taboo. And what's the use of being a god if no one worships you? So like any 10 year old coming up in the boom-boom 80s, I quickly said, I'm going to cash out.
It's said that every generation thinks they invented sex but I actually tried to patent it.
In class, I learned from my teacher Mrs. Simms that you could create a Poor Man's Patent by documenting your invention, sealing the contents in an envelope and mailing it to yourself.
So I invested two weeks collecting everything I knew from my investigations: diagrams, annotations on optimal angles, tracings, samples, even a glossary, with names like "pleasure measures'. I then placed the notebooks into a package and took the most incriminating letter anyone has ever trusted with the US Post Office and mailed it to 635 Blauvelt Drive care of Master Michael Rothman. And there it sat on my shelf, tantalizing me with the prospect of fantastic wealth.
Two weeks later on a Saturday night, I hosted a sleepover. And among pre-teenage boys, sex is the original fake news, but I learned enough that night to know: oh wow, not only did I not receive a miracle, but there is no business here and I'm really late to this party.
I freak out. The kids go home, the next day I tear the envelope, the diagrams, the glossary into pieces. I bring the pieces to the woods down the street from my house and light them on fire. My dream of licensing my discovery was dashed. There would be no audience with the pope.
By 22 I knew I was not a god but I still thought I was a real hotshot. I had started a magazine in college, and W Hotels agreed to circulate the magazine in their rooms and lobbies. They eventually pull out, and now I need a real, full-time job. I discovered a VP-level sales role at a niche magazine called Sound & Vision that reviews TVs and stereos. A much more senior salesman, a guy named Jack, was leaving and given my previous experience, I thought I was a shoo-in despite having had no formal training.
I barrage the publisher with voicemails. She finally agrees to chat over a 15-min call, I think it goes well and at the end she tells me "I enjoyed speaking with you and I'll leave it to you to determine the best way to follow up." I took this as a creative prompt. This was advertising. In New York. The Big Time. And I'm gonna come correct.
The next day I sneak into the magazine's office at 7 in the morning through a service elevator with a custom cake that says "we'll miss you, Jack" — I hadn't met Jack, mind you — nor anyone else at the magazine — but I was destined to replace him and now I'm gonna win the office over with a surprise party to send him off right. I was going to add value off the bat.
I bring balloons, streamers and party supplies to hang up around the office. And the thing about balloons is, if you don't have helium, and only have your breath and you don't have your asthma inhaler, you get real dizzy, and all of the balloons will hang limp, but no matter, part 2 of my plan was yet to come.
Just in case breaking into the office as a non-company employee to assume familiarity with a guy I haven't met, for a position I did not have didn't seal the deal, I write a song called Sound & Vision to the tune of Foreigner's Double Vision, about how I was the best possible person for this job.
I find a CD that played the karaoke version of the song, got a portable boombox and paid a guy in Times Square to dress up as a giant stereo and perform the song live at the publisher's office. Because what's a wad of sweaty 20s worth long-term when you're going to be the Northeastern Regional VP at Sound & Vision magazine!
So later that same day, at around 2p, he rolls into the publisher's corner office singing through his giant boombox head:
This year's their year they're going to push it to the limit
With ROTHMAN on board their going to grow their base of business
At the mention of ROTHMAN I burst through the door and step in front of my mercenarial boombox with a flourish of hands and a jiggly laser pointer as a dozen onlookers gathered to watch. In hindsight I thought the publisher did a pretty great job of playing it cool.
Not only did I not get the job but the publisher, who said she'd never been more humiliated, never wanted to see me in the building ever again. I was crushed, jobless and afraid that I wouldn't, in fact, be able to work in this town ever again. Over and over in my head I kept hearing that sound a crowd makes when a golfer shanks a put, that wave of oooh! It was the sound of ego meeting reality. Maybe my college game doesn't work in the Pros.
Fast forward again to 2014, I don't have kids, I'm trying to raise money for Fatherly — that parenting company I wanted to start as a non-dad — and over 90 investors said, politely or otherwise, "go fund yourself."
But the thing about rejection is that over a lifetime it still hurts but it no longer stings.
Well I keep going and after those 90 investors there were a handful that said yes and two years later Oprah says Fatherly is her favorite website and men all over the country send photos of our logo tattooed on their chest, arms and motorcycle helmets.
It turns out that not being a parent is actually an asset. It breeds a humility I didn't have before, which makes it easier to distinguish between dreams and delusions of grandeur.
That magazine, Sound & Vision, ended up folding three years later.
Those amazing godlike powers I discovered in the palm of my hand? Now open-sourced and enjoyed freely by millions every day around the world.
