Jungkook acquired a house in Itaewon for an astonishing price
RD Revez
BTS's golden maknae acquired a detached house in Itaewon, and its price will surely make you go gaga!
As divulged by the real estate circles, Jungkook, the youngest member of the world-renowned Korean boy group BTS, bought a two-story house in Itaewon.
The said place is the location where wealthy people, foreign correspondents, and foreign diplomats live.
From the place where BTS lives, Nine One Hannam in Yongsan-gu is a five-minute drive (1.5 kilometers) away.
Jungkook 's new house fit for a king that he is
As revealed, the house Jungkook bought cost 7.63 billion KRW (approximately 7,050,940 USD). The BTS idol reportedly purchased the property in November last year.
More to the house's details, it had reportedly been built in 1976, and it is a detached house with a total floor space of 230.74 square meters. The area's entire space is 637 square meters.
It seems that the golden maknae is really into house investments. Previously, he was reported to have bought an apartment at the famous luxury "Seoul Forest Trimage."
As revealed by the real estate industry workers, Jungkook bought the said unit in the luxury apartment complex in October 2018.
It was worth 1.95 billion won (roughly USD 1.74 million), and Jungkook allegedly purchased the apartment in cash.
However, on October 19, 2020, the idol sold his apartment. He sold it amounting to 2.05 billion KRW, but real estate professionals assume that he probably did not make a profit considering he had to pay property taxes and other fees.
For the past two years, Jungkook had never lived in his apartment. Instead, he had stayed at the BTS dorm.

Itaewon's charms
Recently, several celebrities are investing in Itaewon. The place is a geographical advantage of high-end residential areas.
The fact that it is located between downtown Gwanghwamun and Gangnam makes it more inviting to live in.
In 2017 and last year, comedian Park Myung Soo and actress Hwang Jung Eum also bought houses in Itaewon.
Meanwhile, they bought it for 5.8 billion KRW (approximately 5,362,277 USD)and 4.65 billion KRW (approximately 4,299,071 USD), respectively.

This Actor Has Appeared in More Than 1000 Movies
BY Anna Green
Telegu Comedy Club, Youtube
Brahmanandam Kanneganti, 59, is a popular Indian actor, known for his quick wit and comic timing—but is even more famous for appearing in more than 1000 movies.
The actor and comedian has been active in India's Telugu language film industry since 1987 and has amassed a staggering number of roles. To put that into perspective, Christopher Lee, who previously held the Guinness World Record for most screen credits, appeared in 244 movies over the course of more than 60 years. Brahmanandam has appeared in four times as many movies in half the time. The former professor, with a degree in Telugu literature, officially broke Lee's record in 2010 with 857 films. Since then, he's gone on to act in at least 143 more movies, though the actor told the Times of India he'd stopped counting after 997.
If you've never heard of Brahmanandam, that's not so surprising. Tollywood films are popular throughout India, where Telugu is the third-most spoken language, but have a smaller audience in the West, where Telugu speakers are relatively rare.
Still, Brahmanandam is an incredibly popular and prolific actor in a film industry that has been around for more than a century. The actor, whose name means "the happiness of the universe," got his start after a producer witnessed his amateur stand-up comedy act and offered him a small film role.
Since then, the prolific actor tells the Times of India he has never tired of working. However, he does hope to slow things down a bit now that he's broken quadruple digits: "I do plan to go easy and be more selective with my films from now on. There is an old saying … 'Fresh water replaces the old water, but the moss stays in its place.' I guess that explains my longevity."

Mark Hummel w/ Rusty Zinn
Dave Earl opensThursday, December 9, 2010, 8:00 pm (doors open at 7:00 pm)west coast harp ace's birthday bash—CD release show $20.50 advance / $21.50 at doorPurchase tickets online
Start: December 09 8:00 pm
Harmonica virtuoso and blues shouter Mark Hummel rocks the house tonight with guitar ace Rusty Zinn and bassist RW Grigsby for a double celebration: not only is it Mark's birthday, but it also marks the release of his new CD, Back Porch Music: Hummel Unplugged (MountainTop Records).
A longtime Bay area resident, Mark is one of the key architects of the West Coast blues sound, which mixes elements of jump blues and rock n' roll, a sound he honed playing internationally with such blues greats as Charlie Musselwhite, Brownie McGhee, Lowell Fulson, and Eddie Taylor. Raised in Los Angeles, Mark absorbed the music of such Chicago-based harp blowers as Little Walter, James Cotton, and Sonny Boy Williamson before settling in Berkeley in the early 1970's. The following decade saw Mark take the helm of the band the Blues Survivors and tour with the Canadian singer and guitarist Sue Foley. Since 1991, Mark has been both producing and performing at his Blues Harmonica BlowoutTM series, which has featured folks like John Mayall, John Hammond, Norton Buffalo, and Charlie Musselwhite.
Back Porch traces Mark's country delta blues roots back to his beginnings, featuring mainly acoustic versions of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee-styled folk blues, early Chicago Muddy Waters-Little Walter duets, plus a few Hummel originals thrown in for good measure!
American roots musician Dave Earl opens tonight's show.

Over the weekend, George Clooney skipped the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity ceremony in Yerevan, Armenia and submitted a video message to apologize.
"I really would have been [in Yerevan] but if I came there and my wife had twins while I was there, I could never come home," he said, according to PEOPLE. The twins are reportedly due in June.

The couple previously announced their pregnancy in February and after the news broke, Clooney's mom accidentally spilled the beans and shared that the couple is expecting a boy and a girl.
"It will be one of each! Yes, a boy and a girl. That's what I've been told," Nina Clooney, told Vogue at the time. "How marvelous! My husband and I are extremely excited."

INFLATION IS A CHALLENGE EXCEPT IN ASIA
COMMENTARY TREASURY/FX
By Robin Harding
The world is experiencing a dramatic bout of inflation. Except for the places where it is not.
Sharp price rises in the United States and United Kingdom — where the headline consumer price index is up by 6 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively — have raised fears of a disastrous mistake by central banks and a return to the chronic inflation of the 1970s.
But across much of Asia, price rises are subdued. That divergence holds lessons for economic policy, now and in the future.
In China, the CPI is up by 1.5 per cent compared with a year ago, while in Japan, as usual, inflation is roughly zero. In Australia, the headline CPI may be up by 3 per cent, but underlying inflation of 2.1 per cent is towards the bottom of the central bank's target range.
Only two big emerging markets in Asia have inflation running above 5 per cent — Sri Lanka and Pakistan — compared with many in Europe and South America. Seen from Tokyo, Beijing or Jakarta, the global surge in inflation does not look global at all.
This is true even though Asia imports a lot of energy and has suffered the same jump in prices for oil, gas, coal and other commodities as everywhere else in the world.
The reason Asia's inflation is mild and not severe comes down to one simple factor: It handled the COVID-19 pandemic better than the rest of the world.
FEWER DRAMATIC SWINGS IN CONSUMPTION
Across most of the region, countries managed to avoid compulsory lockdowns altogether, like South Korea; limit them in scope and duration, like China; or delay such measures until deep into 2021 when vaccines were becoming available, like New Zealand.
The consequences of this relative success are now playing out in several ways.
On the demand side of the economy, Asia experienced fewer of the dramatic swings in consumption from services to goods and back again that marked the experience of the US and Europe, as they went into lockdown and came back out again.
If you were never locked up at home, you never felt the need to buy a treadmill, a new television and enough lumber to deck the back yard.
If you could keep up regular haircuts, dental checks and drinks with friends, meanwhile, you had no need to rush out to the hairdresser, the dentist and the nearest bar when the economy reopened.
Asians have also, by and large, been more cautious than Europeans or Americans when their economies do open up.
In Japan, for example, elderly households account for almost 40 per cent of consumption, as Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda noted in a recent speech. But even though Japan's retirees are now largely vaccinated, their consumption of services has not yet returned to normal, let alone exhibited a post-pandemic boom. Smaller swings in demand meant less pressure for supply to respond.
BEIJING'S CONTROL OVER PBOC
THE RISK OF EXCESS YUAN APPRECIATION


Quilts are for comfort. Quilts are for love.
I was a weaver by profession who took a detour. When I had a serious accident, a friend, who owned a quilt shop brought me fabrics, needle and thread and told me to 'quit whining'. It saved my sanity. By the time the surgeons were done I was hooked on quilting. That was 30 years ago. 10 years ago i sold one of my Glimakra looms and replaced it with an Innova Longarm quilting system and named her Lola.
And yes, I still weave.
In Washington I belong to a small group of like minded women, 'The Dreadful Threads'. They meet monthly to share life's joys, sorrows, concerns and quilts. I attend when I can.
We wintered in Arizona for 4 years and this year we purchased a house and decided to stay over summer. I belong to Artistic Weavers at the Oakmont Rec Center and Friendship Quilters group at Bell Center.
Between having both shoulders replaced, selling the big house in Washington, moving, the major remodeling of the house here it's been just over 2 years. I need to make an effort to get back into both weaving and quilting.
My blog will keep you up to date with what's happening on my life adventure.
and before you leave you must meet Louie. He's my rescue from a local cat shelter.

Christchurch painter says building firms use tradespeople 'like banks'
Placement Painters owner Glenn Hunt outside the lockup shed he was forced to sell to a friend last October to cover debt ...
Placement Painters owner Glenn Hunt outside the lockup shed he was forced to sell to a friend last October to cover debt from delayed work payments. Christchurch's building industry bills are mounting and it's taking longer for tradespeople to be paid. Figures from nationwide debt collector Baycorp show the amount owed to blocklayers and bricklayers rose 400 per cent from 2014 to last year.
In contrast, the amount owed to floorers' fell 75 per cent over the year and electricians' bills fell 35 per cent. The money owed to most Christchurch building trades has increased from 2014 to 2015 according to Baycorp figures. Placement Painters owner, Glenn Hunt, said building firms in the Christchurch rebuild were delaying payments to sub contractors to keep themselves out of financial trouble as earthquake repair work dwindled. Subbies were being used "like banks", he said.
Hunt said painters and other tradespeople were being forced to drop their hourly rates to as little as $20 an hour or risk losing jobs. Finding work and getting paid on time at a good rate was now "a huge problem area," Hunt said. His Papanui company employed 20 staff two years ago but now had six. Other painters and decorators were surviving "hand to mouth" on a week-to-week basis, he said.
Hunt said his 15-year-old company had been close to folding many times since the quakes, during which time his previous painting products supplier had cancelled his trade credit account and made him pay as he went. Last October a friend had bought his lock-up shed in Papanui so he could stay afloat. A bank, insurer, the Inland Revenue Department and others in the building industry had also been generous, he said. The company had paid off its own debt, had a year's worth of work ahead of it and was moving back into its old line of work; high-end home restorations. But cashflow and profit margins were still tight. "We may still fall over, even now."
Christchurch-based Receivables Management chief executive Ross Fleming said its regular survey sample of invoices supplied by 100 trade creditors showed 45 per cent had outstanding bills after their 20th of the month due date. This was well up on the 31 per cent unpaid three years ago. Fleming said its creditors were often waiting two months to be paid after invoicing. Building Industry Federation chief executive, Bruce Kohn, said Baycorp's analysis may well reflect a change with the Canterbury rebuild situation moving off a peak, especially in residential contracting. Specialist trades were high demand in the region and contractors "as a matter of policy tend to place an emphasis on early payment of those they regard as a precious resource when there is strong demand".
Builders in the residential sector had been advised to take care in management of their businesses "as the environment moves from at least a semi-boom to more normal historical levels of activity," said Kohn.
"Hopefully this will subsequently be seen as something of a 'rogue' situation and a more regular pattern, similar to that in past analyses, will show through."
Henry Construction co-owner, Emma Henry, said the payment squeeze was partly because there was less work around. Her company had a stable staff on wages but employed fewer people than a year ago, when it also had contract builders. A lot more tradespeople were ringing or emailing wanting work in the past six to 12 months, Henry said. Painters were particularly short of work, after having plenty of it during Fletcher EQR's home repair programme.
"What we are seeing is a lot of builders looking for work and we haven't seen that for a long time."

A bad debt detox for small business in 2018
The Christmas break has been a very busy time for many retailers with eftpos transactions reaching 178 transactions per second at one stage!
Breaking down myths around debt collection
We are focused on breaking down some of the myths around debt collection for everyday people.
Why should small businesses get advice on credit control?
Credit control is a bare basics necessity for small businesses. In this article we explain why small businesses should get credit control advice


You've learned to cast spells while on a watercraft or even while swimming in turbulent waters.
Benefit: You automatically succeed at concentration checks required to cast a spell while being subjected to vigorous or violent motion while either swimming or on a ship. You gain a +4 bonus on concentration checks to cast spells underwater.


Q: Please tell me about yourself, what inspired you to start this business, how did you start it?
A: I am absolutely hyperactive and eco-conscious and I love working for myself and have my independence. 3 years ago I moved to Tanzania because I got fed up with the British weather and one day when I was walking at the local Maasai market I found some brightly painted sandals made out of car tyres. The moment I saw it, I knew immediately that it is what I want to do. I fell in love with the idea that functional products could be created out of trash, and I knew that I simply had to share this brilliant idea with the world.
A: Sometimes I just collect waste tyres from the local bicycle shops or I ask companies for factory rejects. More than a year ago Schwalbe gave me approx 5k rejected tyres which I used for my latest collection.
Q: How have you found the journey so far?
A: It has been two and a half years now, but it is still really challenging. But I love this mission, I enjoy to create fashion from waste and hope to inspire others to think big, create, and change the world!
Q: What advice would you give to other women who are passionate about something and are considering starting up their own business?
A: Start it, start to practice, even if it's only a couple of hours per day. You can't live a robotic and boring life; find the inner creator and your happiness.
A: Belts: These belts are made out from Schwalbe rejected tyres. We carefully clean and cut them and choose the right buckle for each tyre. Tyres are very durable because they have been designed to spend their working life in rotation but now it's their time to shine.
Jewellery: I use waste (rejected or worn) inner tubes for my jewellery. Inner tubes are also called the vegan leather because they look like leather. It's a fantastic and cruelty-free material for accessories such as necklaces, earrings, bags, purses, and even clothing.
Laura Zabo has been so kind to offer my readers a chance to win a £100 gift card to buy any product(s) from her online shop LauraZabo.com.

I think it's meaningful and very resourceful. It's very unique and first time I've seen this type of fashion.
I know exactly what you mean. I never imagined old tyres could be turned into fashion.
Hi, oh that's great. And this is only the beginning, follow my social media and you will be surprised !
Great work for nature !
Thanks for your comment, I really hope to reuse huge quantities!
Lots of information. Very informative. Great Blog.
I think it's great what you guys are doing. It is very unique and the first time I've seen this type of fashionable products.
I liked the information I learned from the website. It helped me a lot.
I was looking at Laura's site tonight. Her necklaces, earrings and bracelets are very cool and unique. My only recommendation would be if she could post photos of women wearing the different pieces instead of having just the photos of the items. My experience with ordering online is that sometimes when I put the item on it looks different on me than what I thought it would.
very useful comments Sarah. I've passed it on to Laura.
Very good information. Very Interesting.
So good to see things bring re-used. You should be very proud of what you do . Things are way to disposable nowadays.
Great blog. Very good information.
Great contest and great site!
Wow. Great site and great work!
I love the jewelry Laura! Very unique and fashionable!
Where did the twitter entry go? It just disappeared.
Unique jewelery and cool website!
I think the work she is doing is awesome . I love seeing things re-used instead of thrown out .
Great work . I like refinishing old wood . Love your products too.
I love the site Laura. Keep up the good work.
Love the work that you do. Beautiful, unique jewelry.
Great work and great products . Who knew something so beautiful could be made from a tire .
I especially love the tires. I think Laura hit the jackpot with them.

Helicopter operations return to Devonport naval base after a ten-year gap.
A Dauphin helicopter has landed in Devonport Naval Base – as helicopter operations return after a ten-year gap.
The old helipad at Weston Mill made way for the revamp of the area to make way for RM Tamar and the centre of amphibious excellence.
Since then regular helicopter flights have been diverted to a small facility across the Tamar at HMS Raleigh.
The pad is principally used by personnel from Fleet Operational Sea Training, flown to and from ships undergoing training and assessment off the coast of Plymouth – which has meant a journey of about an hour from Devonport to Torpoint, rather than five to ten minutes to FOST headquarters in HMS Drake.
The result at Bull Point – beyond the mock village used for disaster relief training – is a new multi-million pound, Helicopter Operating Facility.
The facility features a meteorological observation station and provision to refuel visiting helicopters. As well as Dauphins of the Fleet Helicopter Support Unit, based at Newquay, the new pad can host Merlin and Wildcat Helicopters.

I was asked by Crawford to design his new website with focus on the student accommodation market. I had to implement an efficient way to update properties through a CMS Platform and make sure the SEO was covered in all areas, as maximum exposure from search engines is essential.
The design is wonderful and arresting, the functionality is perfect and it was all done quickly and accurately. James was great about making changes when needed and providing great marketing advice. I think his designs are streets ahead of the other freelance web designers I've seen.


It would be difficult to top the experiences of rising senior Ruba Alblowi who served as an intern at the Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations this summer. She was assigned to the Social, Humanitarian, and Cultural Committee, but also worked in other departments including the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism and the Disarmament and International Security Committee. Alblowi had hands-on opportunities to research and talk public policy with a wide variety of important governmental actors.
During the internship, she was primary assigned to be with the Mission's Human Rights and Social Affairs Division. She assisted the permanent mission human rights experts with thematic topics relating to human rights situations in countries such as Syria, Yemen, and Palestine and worked on thematic conferences such as the conferences on the rights of persons with disabilities and the rights of the child. Her general duties included attending meetings at the United Nations and assisting in report writing. In particular, she was active in preparing briefing notes for diplomats and the permanent representatives prior to meetings or negotiations, drafting speeches to be given at the General Assembly and United Nations committee meetings, providing research on existing Saudi Arabia initiatives and partnerships with the UN, in addition to brainstorming and finding creative ways of engagement with the United Nations.
The primary tasks of her committee was to oversee issues related to the advancement of women, the protection of children, the treatment of refugees, and the promotion of fundamental freedoms through the elimination of racism and racial discrimination. The committee also addresses important social development issues such as issues related to youth, family, aging, and persons with disabilities. It was a remarkable and full experience for Alblowi. Her rich span of work was a function of the fact that she distinguished herself and thus earned more responsibilities. Her passion for these issues and desire to help influence national and international policy was evident to the people she worked with while overseas.

the tongue and throat to their normal positions.
this condition (sleep apnea) is indicated by snoring.
trigger severe health problems, such as damage to the cardiovascular system. It also often results in chronic fatigue.
To counteract snoring and/or sleep apnea, we can create a simple appliance for many people that will hold the jaw in a position to maintain an open airway. This reduces snoring and improves breathing while a person sleeps.
Some people use CPAP, a machine that acts as a breathing aid, to treat sleep apnea. However, a CPAP device can be cumbersome, bothersome, and expensive. For many people, an appliance is a better solution.
If you think that you or a family member might have sleep apnea, call our office today to see if we can help you find a solution to this unhealthy condition. If you already use CPAP, speak with us about using an appliance as a better alternative.
We'd like to help you avoid serious health problems from sleep apnea, and to get a better night's sleep!

A rooftop farm in the middle of New York City, growing a million pounds of produce every year, would have been unimaginable a short time ago. It is now a reality.
There are some amazing trends emerging in a variety of farming operations that will affect where and when your produce is grown. Six key forces are driving those trends, and they are creating amazing business opportunities.
Growing produce in South America and trucking it to locations in North America requires a huge amount of energy. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is helping to fund improvements in agricultural energy efficiency, as well as conversions to renewable energy systems, that will make regional growing more affordable.
Cozy Acres Greenhouse in North Yarmouth, Maine, utilized the USDA program to create its signature line of produce -- described as "Zero Emission" products. Cozy Acres' produce is grown in a greenhouse that uses electricity created from the sun and heat from a geothermal system. When it distributes its products to local restaurants and farmer's markets, their carbon footprint is negligible.
Year-round grow operations were unheard of in northern climates due to the short daylight of winter. The use of supplemental grow lights tended to be expensive and limited profit potential. New LED grow lights have dramatically reduced the energy demands of a greenhouse operation and make year-round operations more profitable.
Locally-grown food was the No. 1 choice on the top 10 list of menu trends for 2014, according to the National Restaurant Association. The Chipotle restaurant chain, in recognizing this trend, continues to provide more locally grown, organic food for use in its food operations. This trend is giving local growers a huge advantage.
The farm-to-table trend can be summed up in one word – FRESH! Picking an ear of corn when it's at peak ripeness and immediately roasting it on a grill and savoring its unique flavors is an unknown experience for most urban shoppers. Their corn was probably picked many days prior to purchase, and the peak flavor is inevitably lost. Now, even in the middle of New York City, fresh, farm-to-table food products are available.
Farm-to-table is a growing trend with no end in sight. Food that is picked, processed and served all in the same area is a trend that is economical and profitable for farmers as well as farmers markets and restaurants.
In the past, the open spaces needed for farming were nonexistent near the city. Local growing operations were not possible, and produce needed to be trucked in to local markets.
With the changes in our economy, many towns have large former industrial spaces or warehouses sitting empty. Technology now makes turning that space into a farm possible with a minimum of site changes. St. Paul, Minnesota, converted a former brewery into an organic farm capable of turning out tons of produce per year.
There are some amazing trends emerging that will affect where and when your produce is grown.
Led by changes in technology and a growing awareness of sustainability, the forces listed above will drive trends that will affect your food choices and will influence your produce buying habits in the very near future. The trends have also created a new word that best sums up the movement -- locavore!
Kerry Kilpatrick is the Social Media Director for The Energy Alliance Group of Michigan. He enjoys highlighting the amazing stories that result when businesses implement energy saving strategies and embrace renewable energy innovations. An energy philosophy best summed up by the phrase "reduce then produce."


NotesA business meeting regarding the Semiannual Committee Report on Legislative Review and Oversight Activities will precede the hearing. The hearing will begin immediately after the business meeting has concluded. **Additional witness has been added.


Thank you Jen ... I agree a night without a moon seems somehow more silent .. and an elderly couple in the park at autumn ... no children playing just falling leaves.
Silence - and only the old couple to fill the silence.
Yes ... true hadn't noticed that ... you're right I was struck by silence.
These are all very effective - the last one particularly - it paints a picture I know so well.
I love the series and the last one gives me hope for it is then we have Indian summer...a last glimpse of warm sunshine.
Hope we all have a wonderfully prolonged Indian summer (and a mercifully short winter) ;-) Thanks for dropping in!
"dead leaves dance"... All of your haiku are lovely but this struck me as I was on a walk this morning with Little Miss and the slight breeze rustled the fallen dead leaves.
How marvelous when a poem encarnates! Thanks for telling me this is a lovely comment.

Guyana's strange love affair with negativity.
Guyanese have long been accused of taking the beauty and bounty of their country for granted. But based on my personal observations, there is something else that we do which is far more damaging: We are blind to the good and the opportunities right in front of us. We are trapped in a self-imposed love affair with negativity and we cannot seem to see past this darkness toward the goodness that is. So, we miss the golden opportunities to build on our strengths, in order to catapult ourselves and country toward a more rapid state of development.
The reasons for this self-defeating condition need to be discussed if we are to successfully move beyond it. We assume that it is normal human behavior to seek pleasure and avoid pain, however, in Guyana too many of us appear to only take delight in complaints, accusations and the blaming of others.
This continuous need to seek comfort in the negatives at the expense of ignoring the positives has become synonymous with 'holding our leaders accountable' which we know to be a very critical aspect of development. But at what point do we draw the line, as it relates to fairness?
Dialogue based on issues and objectivity no longer seem to apply and there is a complete breakdown of constructive argumentation in favor of personal attacks, misinformation and political bias, on social media in particular.
On the receiving end, the public gets subjected to an inescapable environment of naysaying which ultimately serves the purpose to divide; and no one stops to examine how this cyclical pattern keeps us woefully distracted, nonproductive and doing absolutely nothing to better our personal circumstances as citizens.
Yes, Government must be held responsible for delivering on their promises but we too are responsible for steering our lives in productive directions by working to create better opportunities for ourselves and families. No amount of blaming will change what we must do for ourselves, in order to achieve real benefits in our everyday lives.
Observation 1: Insecurities and low self-esteem.
Our over-dependence on Governments which have historically disappointed us have resulted in a deep-rooted distrust. Politicians and their operatives, exploit these feelings of distrust to keep citizens divided based on race, economic profiling and other factors.
Overtime, the cycle of continued disappointment and manipulation has led to an inner sense of us not feeling deserving of 'good' in our lives.
So as a collective, we reject seemingly simple solutions and become an obstacle to the very things we wish to achieve such as unity, foresight to economic opportunities, the acknowledgement of national progress in certain areas, etc.
Observation 2: The way we were raised.
Our parental style in Guyana has long embraced the beating of our children into discipline. This is done from a standpoint of parental frustration, ignorance and unrealistic expectations of our little ones.
We have come to believe that this is acceptable behavior but a growing body of research continues to suggest that the practice of beating keeps societies enslaved to a culture of violence, characteristic of various public health issues and negative impacts.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the transmission of violence between generations, with violent behaviors passing from grandparents to parents to children – a phenomenon known as the "cycle of violence" – and the tendency for abuse victims to continue to suffer and inflict violence, as they move through life are long-term consequences of maltreatment in childhood.
Observation 3: A return to what we know.
Stemming from the cycle of violence, some of us have endured lifelong struggles, trauma and other negative experiences which leads to a characteristic condition where there is a need to continuously relive what we know.
Negativity becomes a state-of-mind which we feel familiar with; and as a result, we go through our lives responding to an insatiable need to always lash out in anger, peddle sarcasm and publicly promote exaggerated misfortunes which are used to reinforce self-promoting rhetoric.
Our general lack of understanding pertaining to mental health issues in Guyana lends to an unhealthy breeding ground for persons suffering from these conditions. The negativity of which filters down to citizens on social media. Audiences on social networks then engage the victims of these unfortunate circumstances, in ways that degenerate into casual spectacles for entertainment. In many cases, victims are mocked or ridiculed in private which compounds the negativity and disregards the need for psychological treatment.
Observation 4: The search for realism.
Many of us pride ourselves on being realists. We mistakenly believe that to be realistic, we must constantly focus on the negatives and aim to dispel any signs of optimism we encounter. There are alternative forms of this among Guyanese who are too afraid to acknowledge 'joy' because positive feelings are seen as a set-up for disappointment.
These scenarios, along with the custom of complaining, blinds us to the possibilities for growth.
Observation 5: Our history and its wounds.
Too many of us are still consumed by deep feelings of remorse, anger and regret over past experiences or consequences of decisions we cannot overcome. Guyana's history has resulted in people unconsciously punishing themselves and others for past hurts gone by, especially among those who would have lived through periods of trauma that has unfortunately conditioned them.
We see the effects of this in the form of racism, the fight for property and the promotion of hate speech which the younger generation either absorbs or rejects, depending on their levels of understanding and intellectual exposure.
Now is the time to put an end to our self-defeating love-affair with negativity and focus on our collective development as a nation. Why only now? Now is as good a time as any!
We must look to ourselves for reassurances of hope and a belief in our country, instead of the average politician, many of whom are yet to grow themselves. We must shift our expectations toward a sense of independence, realizing that we have the power to earn results for ourselves through education, hard work and a commitment to personal excellence in everything we do.
We need to research healthy parental practices and reconsider the ways we contribute to the generational cycle of violence. We must understand that the little adjustments made today will significantly impact the quality of life our nation's children inherit, tomorrow.
Our country is in urgent need of properly equipped clinics offering therapy, qualified professionals, research, support groups assuring anonymity and educational awareness that is dedicated exclusively to mental health issues. We need to advocate for these improvements, while maintaining a sense of compassion for the victims who are suffering in silence. We must not engage their suffering as a form of entertainment.
We must be cognizant of those with a vested political or economic interest in influencing us away from concepts that encourage the fair assessment of issues, racial unity, non-violence, etc. by attempting to bring discredit to initiatives dedicated to achieving change.
The manufacturing and disseminating of cyclical negativity is a tool that is being used every day, year after year, by operatives from both sides of the political sphere in Guyana. We must not buy into the divide. Reclaim your minds and become Free-Thinkers!

Hank Williams died in 1953, Buddy Holly in 1959, Patsy Cline in 1963, Sam Cooke in 1964, Otis Redding in 1967, Janis Joplin in 1970, Jim Croce in 1973, Elvis in 1977, and John Lennon in 1980. They were all popular singers who died at relatively young ages. Some of them were also fine songwriters. Many other popular musicians have died young. I'm sure I left out some of your favorites. I left out some of mine, too.
Now Glenn Frey is gone. He was sixty-seven when he died on January 18. There was a time when I wouldn't have thought of sixty-seven as young, but now that I can see it just ten years over yonder way, I do.
Frey was a founding member of the Eagles. Don Henley and he were the two constants in the band that provided much of the soundtrack for my high school and college years. From "Take It Easy" (1972) to "Long Run" (1979), the Eagles' songs played in the background as my friends and I tried to navigate adolescence and move into adulthood. Those records were good companions.
Here's a very partial list of the songs that Frey co-wrote: "The Best of My Love," "Desperado," "Hotel California," "I Can't Tell You Why," "Life in the Fast Lane," "Long Run," "Lyin' Eyes," "New Kid in Town," "One of These Nights," "Take It Easy," "Take It to the Limit," and "Tequila Sunrise." They're all great songs. "New Kid in Town," which Frey co-wrote with Henley and J. D. Souther, may be the closest thing to a perfect pop/rock song ever produced.
you get too careful with the steps you choose.
I've always heard the song as a caution against allowing life to become stale and dull. So I haven't.
I suspect that if classic rock stations still exist in a hundred years, they'll still be playing the songs that Glenn Frey co-wrote and on which he played and sang. I know that if I have any memory in my geriatric years, I'll be rocking (double meaning intended) to the songs of Glenn Frey and the Eagles.
Glenn Frey will live for as long as the world continues. That's because he will live on in his songs.
Now, before some of y'all get your halos twisted in a knot, let me say that I do believe in everlasting life. I believe in heaven. I'm just saying that there are also other ways to live on, and one of those ways is through the contributions we make to people's lives.
I'm grateful for the contributions Glenn Frey made to mine. As long as I and many others can remember, listen, and think, he'll live on.
We can't all be successful singers and songwriters. But we can all make a contribution to the lives of our families, our friends, and our community. We can all share our love.
How will you live forever?

The corporate name change to Tapestry Inc. will occur on Oct. 31, 2017.
Coach Inc. has gone from a monobrand company to a group of American accessible luxury brands — and it's changing its name to reflect the shift.
The company now will be known as Tapestry Inc.
The company acquired Stuart Weitzman in 2015 for $574 million and Kate Spade & Co.this past July for $2.4 billion.
Coach, with the help of Carbone Smolan Agency, chose Tapestry after considering "many, many names," Luis said.
Coach isn't the first company in the fashion industry to change its name. Ironically, its newest baby Kate Spade was once Fifth & Pacific, and before that it was Liz Claiborne Inc. And European luxury goods conglomerate Pinault-Printemps Redoute also changed its name twice, first to PPR before becoming Kering.
Coach's new corporate name goes into effect on Oct. 31, and shares of Coach will then trade under the new symbol "TPR" on the New York Stock Exchange.
"What we like about Tapestry is that the name is reflective of the values that we share — the idea of heritage and craftsmanship, and of a piece of art that is [both] one and reflective of different threads and colors, like our brands and different employees. It is a wonderful metaphor for us, with great room to grow that is not limited to any one category or any one geography," Luis said.
The ceo said Tapestry also reflects the values that the company's brands share: Optimism, innovation and inclusivity. "Those values differentiate us from many traditional luxury brands," he said.
One concern at the time of the July acquisition — and when the company began earnestly evaluating its options — was the risk that consumers would think that Coach's acquisition of Kate Spade meant either the brand would be sold in Coach stores or that Kate Spade would be re-branded as Coach, he said.
And from a corporate culture standpoint, the ceo said it was important that the company have its own identity without any confusion with the brands under its umbrella.
There may already be confusion over the name change. Coach saw its shares fall 2.8 percent to close at $38.87 Wednesday following disclosure of the planned name change, and some individuals took to tweeting their displeasure.
As for investors, Luis said the savviest and best of investors would be less focused on the corporate name and more on the business of each brand looking for any measure of growth or profitability.

Criminal Justice - Re-entry & Supervision
California Corrections is Broken — Here's How to Fix It
By: Joe Lonsdale
Our state has an opportunity to lead the nation in criminal justice reform by dramatically reducing the corrections population and state expenditures while improving public safety.
Rather than trapping people in our corrections system in a permanent cycle of crime and punishment, we must develop strategies that allow these individuals to return to peaceful lives in their communities. Instead of paying correctional officers to "warehouse" and "process" human beings, we must reward them for helping detainees reintegrate and become productive members of society.
California has made historic strides in reducing its prison population since a Supreme Court decision in 2011, though many formerly incarcerated persons have been shunted into jails, probation, and parole systems.¹ ² ³ ⁴ Still, 565,000 Californians are incarcerated or under supervision, and at $12 billion a year California spends more on criminal justice than the next three states combined.⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ ⁹ Despite recent efforts at rehabilitating people under community supervision, 69% of people are re-arrested in the two years after they are released from jail or prison, and the reconviction rate has actually increased 5% in recent years.¹⁰
One of the most impressive achievements in California criminal justice policy in the last decade is a little-known law called Senate Bill 678 ("The California Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act"). SB 678 was sponsored by Mark Leno, a San Francisco Democrat, and John Benoit, a Riverside Republican. Remarkably, the bill passed both houses without a single No vote.
A classic problem in criminal justice is that county-funded probation departments shift costs to state-funded prisons. 75% of people charged with felonies in California are routed directly into probation, and probation officers are only too happy to lighten their caseloads by sending these individuals to prison — even though prisons are more expensive by an order of magnitude. SB 678 solved this problem by allocating performance-based funding to counties which have reduced the percentage of felon probationers they return to prison for technical violations of probation or for new crimes.¹¹
Here's how it worked:
The state would calculate the historical annual "probation failure rate" for a given county, determine the current probation population, and then estimate the number of people who would have been returned to prison at the historical rate. If the county was able to return a lower number of people than predicted, the county was entitled to 40–45% of the projected savings on each individual not returned (the estimated cost of the time they would have spent in prison and on parole).¹² 5% of the total savings on averted people was distributed to counties that were already below 50% of the baseline, statewide return-to-custody rate as a reward for their excellent performance.
Although the rewards structure for county probation departments recently changed, the essential framework of SB 678 is still in place: counties are incentivized to rehabilitate as many inmates as possible, to obtain the maximum amount of shared savings. And the results are staggering. Between 2009 and 2017, probation officers successfully averted thousands of supervised felons from incarceration resulting in a total allocation of $703 million to California counties and over a billion dollars in savings to California taxpayers!¹³
Some of the California's success over the past decade is due to the statewide "realignment" that occurred in 2011 and limited the number of new convictions made across the state. But even in the first two years of the SB 678 program the results were obvious. Compared to an annualized return-to-prison rate of 7.9% in 2006–2008, the return-to-prison rate declined to 6.1% in 2010, and 5.4% in 2011, even while violent and property crimes decreased substantially.¹⁴ ¹⁵ ¹⁶
We know that certain extremely successful rehabilitation programs — such as the Prison Entrepreneurship Program in Texas and The Last Mile program here in California — have been able to get recidivism rates down to a mere 7%.¹⁷ ¹⁸ ¹⁹ ²⁰ We also know that educational, cognitive behavioral, and domestic violence programs can also reduce recidivism by significant margins.²¹ ²² What we need to do is make sure California's entire criminal justice system is employing these and other rehabilitation techniques that actually work.
Performance-based funding for successful rehabilitation is one of the rare bipartisan issues in California criminal justice policy. Governor Gavin Newsom and the California state legislature should build on the success of the SB 678 model by deploying similar models in our parole departments and prisons.²³
In 2010 California piloted a parole reform called the "Parole Supervision and Reintegration Model" (CPSRM). This reform mandated that parole officers implement rehabilitation strategies but did not give parole officers a stake in the savings that would accrue from their labor. As a result, CPSRM hasn't experienced anything remotely close to the success of probation reform in our state. Instead, we should transplant the SB 678 model from probation to parole.
California parole departments are funded and managed by the state government but behave in a very similar manner to probation departments and are usually mentioned in the same breath. As in probation, we should calculate the historical return-to-custody rate for each parole district, estimate the number of parolees averted from having their parole revoked and from committing new crimes, and reward successful parole departments with some percentage of their savings. The California Department of Finance would disburse the reward to the parole district administrator, who would be empowered to spend the funding on evidence-based rehabilitation programs and possibly bonuses for individual parole officers.
To reward parole agents with salary bumps or annual bonuses, legislation must directly amend civil service law, which sets fixed salary schedules for all state employees in a given category. Fortunately, even labor organizations such as the SEIU now agree that we can't continue rewarding public sector employees on the basis of veterans' points, seniority points, and points simply for being a current state employee.²⁴ ²⁵
The average person charged with a violent crime spends a substantial amount of time in prison as well as on parole, and a comprehensive rehabilitation program must address each individual's needs while they are locked up as well as when they are released to community supervision. Our state deploys on the order of $300 million annually to in-prison rehabilitation programs, but a report by the California State Auditor found these programs to be literally worthless.²⁶ A performance-based funding model for California prisons would ensure that taxpayer dollars spent on in-prison rehabilitation are not going to waste.
Because prison wardens are political appointees, the Governor's office may request to adjust their salaries without violating civil service law.²⁷ ²⁸ An immediate reform to our prison system would be to make warden salaries contingent on the prison's success at reducing recidivism relative to its historic return-to-custody rate. In addition, prison reform should also amend civil service law to allow the warden to grant all prison employees — or at least those employees working on rehabilitation programs — bonuses based on their performance.
As in probation and parole, prisons would earn a fraction of shared-savings based on their performance. This reward would be allocated to the warden, who would have authority to spend it on evidence-based programming as she sees fit. It's true that rewarding both prisons and parole departments "double-counts" success at rehabilitating inmates. But as long as rehabilitation is successful at reducing recidivism and the corrections population is declining, even a system which double-counts success will significantly drive down the cost of corrections. As prison populations decline over time, our state could shutter the worst-performing facilities and randomly reassign their populations to some of the best performing prisons in the state.²⁹
Another important consideration is that an individual will frequently move through several different prisons over the course of her sentence. We suggest counting a successful rehabilitation as a success for every prison that played a role in rehabilitating someone. The lump sum reward would be distributed among the various prisons a person passed through based on the amount of time the person spent at each prison. Prisons that housed an individual for longer periods of time would receive larger fractions of the reward.
People charged with felonies make up most of California's probation population (there are around 145,000 probationers in the state today).³⁰ There are an additional 221,000 people in state prisons or on parole. Our rough calculations suggest that if the state of California implements SB 678-style reforms in state prisons and parole departments, we could easily save state taxpayers $2–4 billion over the next decade, while helping to reduce our incarcerated and supervised populations by substantial margins.³¹
California's historic probation reform set the bar for the nation. We must mobilize a bipartisan consensus to deliver reforms in our prisons and parole districts as well. California policymakers must have the political courage to embrace a marketplace of ideas in corrections — a system that rewards rehabilitation strategies that succeed and phases out those that don't. Only in a system with real accountability will the best ideas and methods win and help fight crime and restore our most fragile communities by reducing recidivism rates statewide. Performance-based funding in the image of our probation model would transform our criminal justice system into the humane, modern institution it should be.
Technical Appendix
In 2015, the California state legislature updated SB 678 with a slightly modified funding structure. Today, a county probation department's reward is calculated in the following way:
1) If the felon probation population's rate of return to prison is <= the original statewide baseline of 7.9%, county gets 40–100% of the highest payment accorded to it between 2009 and 2015 (when the rewards structure changed).³² ³³
2) Is the county sending fewer people to prison than would be expected from the return-to-prison rate from last year? If yes, county receives 35% of state's costs to incarcerate an individual * # of individuals kept out of prison.
3) If (1) and (2) don't add up to $200,000 CA will guarantee the county the difference so the county is making at least $200,000 for implementing evidence-based practices.
We prefer the reimbursement schedule in the original SB 678. The original rewards model is simple: for each person that you keep out of prison relative to your historic county return-to-custody rate, keep 40–45% of the projected cost of that individual. The 2015 amendment ties rewards to performance relative to the prior year and makes rewards partially a function of the highest prior payment, which is an arbitrary metric.
As probation departments become better at rehabilitating people, legislators will have to adjust the original state and county return-to-prison baselines downwards, to stimulate. But the 2015 amendment is a very unusual and needlessly complicated approach. Instead, the statewide baseline should have adjusted from 7.9% to the average rate during some new period, say 2013–2015 (when the average rate was about 3.2%). Legislators could have retained the initial rewards structure of 40–45% for county probation departments.
We endorse rewarding parole departments and prisons on a similar shared savings model to the original SB 678 proposal with a minor modification. Today, probation departments are rewarded with shared savings if they don't revoke a felon probationer to prison and the felon probationer does not commit a crime, and are ineligible to share in savings if they revoke a probationer or that probationer commits a crime:
A) Not revoked; does not commit a crime → shared savings
B) Revoked → no shared savings
C) Not revoked; commits a crime → no shared savings
Suppose a probation department is managing a person with a 90% chance of recidivating. On the current model, the expected return for revoking the person's parole and sending him to prison is 0, but the expected return for glossing over his technical violations (if there are any) in hopes that he will reintegrate into society and not recidivate is 10% of the expected shared savings.
Probation departments may have a perverse incentive not to revoke probation for some of the riskiest members of their population because if these people commit crimes it doesn't cost the probation department, but if they don't commit crimes the probation department will earn a reward. As noted, recidivism rates have declined across the state even as the SB 678 program kicked in, so we're not especially worried about this prospect. But careful language on this issue would ensure that probation officers are perfectly aligned towards the end goals of reducing incarceration and crime.
We propose amending the structure of SB 678 to withhold rewards for county probation departments if the general recidivism rate for their population is greater than the average recidivism rate for people on probation in that county in the baseline years of 2017–2019. This model would encourage probation officers to use their best judgment about whether a person is truly likely to reoffend and determine whether to revoke the person over smaller technical violations accordingly. The penalty could be estimated as a percentage of the cost of crime (with different penalties for crimes of different severities).

[11] The bill also required county probation departments to implement "evidence-based" rehabilitation practices and allocate shared savings towards "evidence-based" rehabilitation, but the term "evidence-based" has become so vague as to be meaningless, so the financial rewards structure is the much more interesting component of the law. See: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_0651-0700/sb_678_bill_20090625_amended_asm_v96.pdf
[12] Counties with a return-to-prison rate of over 125% of the statewide failure rate were entitled to 40% of savings if they reduced their population relative to their county return-to-prison rate; counties with a return-to-prison rate of under 125% of the statewide failure rate were entitled to 45% of savings relative to their historical county rates. This funding structure has changed in 2015, see appendix for details.
[13] In 2011 a bill called AB 109 ("The Realignment") drastically changed the size and composition of California's prison populations. It's difficult to separate causality after 2011 to determine how effective SB 678 really was. But between 2009 and 2011 — before the Realignment took place — the state return-to-prison rate dropped from 7.9% to 5.5%. This is strong evidence that SB 678 has played a significant role in reducing return-to-prison rates. https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/lr-2017-JC-SB-678-CCC-performance-incentives-act.pdf

[29] One criticism of our proposal is that some prisons house much "riskier" inmates than others (as measured by CSRA and COMPAS scores). It's true that some prisons will have a harder job of rehabilitating their inmate population than others. But if prisoners are randomly distributed to prisons, this competitive disadvantage will iron itself out over time.
[30] New felon probation cases average 61.4% of all new probation cases, which is not a perfect indicator but is representative. https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/r_0817vnr.pdf
[31] SB 678 saved over a billion dollars in the first 8 years it was deployed; we expect larger savings from this larger population. In addition, we recommend giving parole departments and prisons a smaller stake in shared savings since these entities already receive stable funding from the state (whereas counties desperately needed to cover their expenses on probation). This modification will save taxpayers more money. True savings will vary with the success of rehabilitation programs, whether the state closes underperforming prisons, and a variety of other factors.

It can be an exciting thing to do when you plan on selling your house privately although it can be a discouraging task particularly if you have never tried doing it before. Selling your house privately is definitely a feasible method of avoiding the payment of thousands of dollars in commission to a real estate agent. If you're confident you can do it or just want to give it a go, you'll need to know the ways in which you can market your house so that you receive a quick hassle-free sale as well as achieving the best sale price possible.
The following are some of the ways that can actually market and sell your house privately.
The internet is the first way of selling your house privately.
It is very evident for the internet to be the most used as a norm in contacting the buyers who are in search for a house, that is why it's important to have your house listed on the internet.
The second tip is the flyers or leaflets.
The most traditional way of advertising a house for sale is through newspapers. You can advertise your house in the newspaper in two ways. You can have a 'display ad' which is simply a 'picture ad' along with a certain amount of text allowed. Classified ad is the other type of newspaper.It is a an ad that only consist of text that allows bolding, headings, bordering, underlining and even some coloured text that will make the ad stand out.
Tip number four is the magazines.
Advertising your house for sale in magazines is a more niche way of advertising your house for the reason that magazines usually have a specific niche that they're targeting their publication. This is not necessarily a negative; in fact it can be very positive because you have more qualified homebuyers looking in these publications for a house. Most magazines will have display ads as well as classified advertising available but it actually depends on your budget as to what ad you'll use.
A word of mouth is the fifth way of selling your house.
Oftentimes, the word of mouth is overlooked as a possible way of marketing a house.Through your workmates, friends, family, schools, business colleagues, you can spread the word.You could create some flyers and hand them out, send out a broadcast email for friends to forward or even organise a private open house for friends and friends of friends.
There may be a few wonderful things that you can think of about your house and really hone in one particular point that makes your house newsworthy.
