Inside This Special Report…How To Buy Home You Want, At The Best Price And Financing Rate, With The Fewest Headaches!
When you decide to buy a home, those really are the most important things, aren't they?
Finding a home that you truly love.
Getting the best possible deal.
And doing it without losing all of your hair or ending up in psychiatric counseling!
Are those your goals? OF COURSE!
Unfortunately, sometimes buying a home ends up being any thing but a happy experience. For many, it turns into a terrible, stressful ordeal. In addition, making the wrong decisions can end up costing you thousands of dollars!
The key to avoiding the pitfalls and traps that plague many home a buyer comes down to one thing: KNOWLEDGE!!
To Buy a home is a fairly complicated undertaking, but if you're armed with the proper knowledge and have a solid plan, it can be a whole lot easier. It all starts with understanding the home buying process, how the "system" works, and what can happen to the typical unprepared home buyer.
Let me back up for a moment and say that the first step is to determine if buying a home is even in your best interests. Most of the time, buying a home is one of the smartest financial decisions that a person can make. But not always!
In meeting with lots of people over the years, I've learned that only after examining your overall financial picture can you discover if buying a home is the right thing for you to do.
There are lots of factors to consider, such as the effect that buying a home will have on your long and short term goals. I have seen situations where buying a home was not in the person's best interest at that time.
Once you are sure that buying a home is the smart choice for you, it's time to get busy.
This does not mean jumping in your car and tearing down the street to find your dream home.
Taking the time to do things right will save you many hours of frustration and thousands of dollars. What happens if you take off on a journey without having a map or plan – not knowing where you're going?
That's right… YOU GET LOST!!
Same thing when buying a home. Except that the thing that gets lost is not you, it's thousands of your hard-earned dollars!
The purpose of this report is to make you aware of the common mistakes that home buyers fall into, and how to avoid them! Having the right information leads to making smart decisions.
It doesn't matter if are buying a home for the first time or if you've bought a dozen before. No matter what, it makes sense to be armed with the facts!
Buying a home is like going out into a bad neighborhood at night – there is trouble lurking around every corner, and you can quickly become a victim if you're not prepared.
I am not kidding! A lot more money is lost due to bad decisions in the home buying process than in the average mugging. Only when you buy a home, the "muggers" are nicely dressed, and are smiling and shaking your hand instead of pointing a knife or gun at you!
I am not saying that everyone involved in the real estate industry is a crook – not at all. I'm just saying that there are lots of people out there that are only too happy to take your money if you are not savvy enough to ask the right questions or make the right choices.
It's not that there is a lack of information out there about buying a home, it's just that a lot of it is a bit misleading. When you buy a home Ask the same question from two different so-called "experts" and you'll get two different answers… and probably a bunch of technical mumbo-jumbo that you don't even understand!
The sad truth is that the structure of the buying a home game is not set up in the buyer's favor. If you are not careful you'll get snared by a big financial trap.
Buying a home is a huge investment. You simply can't afford to "roll the dice" and hope that you come out a winner.
The implications of a bad decision can be amplified over many years, easily costing you tens of thousands of dollars… or even more!
The number one mistake made by home buyer that causes them to make bad decisions and waste thousands of dollars is failing to have an organized plan.
The number two Buying a Home mistake is almost as bad.
The mistake home buyer makes is letting their emotions get out of control!
Of course it is impossible to completely remove all of your emotion, after all, if you didn't have some emotion you wouldn't want to buy a home in the first place.
The key is to remember that you are entering into a complex business deal, one that can effect your financial situation for years to come. Just try to keep as focused as possible on the dollars and cents, and don't allow yourself to "get caught up in the moment", and make foolish decisions that you will regret later.
Step 1 – Determine if buying a home now is smart for you.
Once you have examined your personal financial situation and given yourself the green light to buy a home, the next step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage.
1) You'll have less stress and more confidence while home buyer shopping because you'll know exactly what you can afford.
2) You'll have better negotiating strength with the seller when you can show them a pre-approval letter from the lender.
Yes, getting pre-approved is smart and it is the first step that you should take once you decide to buy a home. But hold your horses! There is a lot that you should know before you rush down to your local bank and try to get a loan to buy a home.
We are going to spend a lot of time discussing financing, because that is where the major share of buying a home mistakes are made. Mistakes that can end up costing you $10,000 to $30,000 or even more!
In the real estate game, the field of financing is covered with hurdles and quicksand. In no other part of the process can you loose so much money… and not even know it!
We've been talking about how having a plan will allow you to keep on track to get where you are going. In the area of financing, having a plan is critical!
If you don't have a plan of your own, you will fall into someone else's plan!
Like the Boy Scout motto says, BE PREPARED.
Once you thoroughly understand financing and have been pre-approved by the bank for your loan, it's time to do the leg work necessary to find your home and get the best possible price on it.
First, identify neighborhoods that you like and that are in your price range. If you have lived in your area for a while, you may have some already in mind.
Think about what you really want in a house. Are you looking for a big yard, or something with less maintenance? A new home, or a place more mature and established? One story or two? Contemporary, Tudor, Colonial, Spanish?
Also decide how many bedrooms and baths you need, along with items such as a den, garage space, fireplace, swimming pool, etc.
Hopefully, you'll be able to find what you want and stay in your price range. If not, you may need to adjust either what you want or your budget.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE "PERFECT" HOME!
You certainly want to make sure that the home that you buy meets your needs, but you will drive yourself crazy if you go through dozens and dozens of homes searching for the "perfect" home.
Make a list that includes your price range, all the items you must have in your home, along with the items you don't want. Take it with you whenever you look at homes, so you don't get sidetracked.
selling for. You want to be on the lookout for and avoid areas that are experiencing depreciation in value.
Although you certainly don't have to use one, the services of a good real estate agent can be quite valuable during this stage. They can pull up all of this information in minutes by pushing a few buttons on their computer.
Once you have a home that you are interested in, you need to find out more information. There are several questions that you must ask the seller before you start any negotiations. You need to know as much as possible about the seller's position and motivation.
The answer to this question will tell you a lot about the seller. Everyone selling their home has a reason. The seller may have been transferred, bought another home, be going through a divorce, or need the cash to pay off debts. All of these things can be to your advantage when negotiating!
2. Are there any defects or structural problems with the house?
Watch the seller very carefully when you ask this question. If they look away or get nervous, HIT THE ROAD! Most states now have mandatory property disclosure laws that require the seller to fully disclose any problems with the property.
If the home has been on the market for many months, you need to find out why. Is it simply because they are asking too much for it, or are there much deeper problems? Also, the seller may be more anxious to sell as the months go by – a big plus for you.
4. Are you offering any special financing or assistance?
The seller may have an assumable loan, or be willing to finance the purchase and carry the mortgage themselves. They also could pay some of your loan costs or points to help you get a lower interest rate.
5. Are there any repairs you were planning on doing?
This question is similar to number 2, but still needs to be asked. The answers to this question can give you valuable insight as to how the home has been maintained, and also give you some negotiating leverage.
When you have answers to these questions, you will have a good feel for the sellers situation and the house itself. You'll be in a position to decide if you want to move forward with the house or not.
If everything looks good, you may want to proceed in the process. The next step is to write up an offer to purchase.
This is where the information you learned from questioning the seller can be quite useful. For example, if the seller has been transferred to another city, they may be very motivated to sell.
There are many different strategies for negotiating, but the one that I have seen produce the best results is not all that difficult. It starts by studying the market data to determine what the fair market value is for the house.
Your objective is to make your offer at a price that is lower than what the seller has in their mind as their "bottom line", but is close enough that they say, "Oh, I guess we will go ahead and take it".
The seller will always want to accept the offer if possible, because if they sign it, they will have a deal that the buyer is bound to. If they make a counter offer, the buyer is "off the hook", and is no longer obligated contractually.
The price is always the focal point of the offer, but there are lots of additional areas that you need to address and pay close attention to also. In your offer, be as specific as possible about every aspect of the transaction. Details that are not clear or are left out can lead to big problems down the road.
One area where you need to be especially careful is contingencies. These are things that must or must not happen in order for the transaction to be valid.
For example, the purchase may be contingent upon you getting approved for your financing, on getting a favorable inspection report, or many other things. Make sure to spell out the contingency clearly, as well as what specifically will happen if the contingency is or isn't met.
Keep one important fact in mind: There is always another house!
If you start to feel pressured or uncomfortable, step back and review your goals. Don't let yourself be bullied around. Remember that the seller usually needs to sell that house a lot more than you need to buy it!
After all of the terms and conditions of the contract have been mutually agreed upon by both you and the seller, you still need to stay on your toes. Many people tend to relax and end up dropping the ball. There are at least a hundred things that can go wrong and foul up the sale.
Stay in contact with all parties involved in the transaction – mortgage company, real estate agent, title company, escrow company or attorney, appraiser, inspector, etc.
You will want to make sure that all of the terms of the contract have been met, and do a "walk-through" inspection of the home prior to closing.
All of your preparation and planning will pay off handsomely when you move into your new home!
You've probably figured out that I am not like most real estate agents. I concentrate on providing quality information to those who need it.
I know that you may be asking that question in your mind. I know that's not what most agents do, and it may seem a little bit odd. Its just that I have learned that good things come when you concentrate on really helping people.
Yes, I make my living selling real estate, and yes, I would love to handle your purchase.
BUT ONLY IF THAT'S WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO AFTER YOU HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION!
In less than an hour you'll have all of the facts and information you need to make smart decisions for your future. We will discuss your situation, and look at the different options that you have.
Well, there is not much more for me to say. The next step is up to you. As I said before, there is absolutely no cost or obligation attached to your free consultation.
Pick up the phone and call me now while you are thinking about it. I know that you may be a little skeptical, but one phone call isn't much to risk, especially when you could save yourself lots of aggravation and thousands of dollars!
You can reach me at (360) 921-4522.
P.S. Procrastination keeps more people from ever reaching their dreams than anything else. Don't miss out on information that can make all the difference in your financial future!

Shibu Soren had lit the torch of tribal society upliftment in the night school in Pokharia of Tundi
Shibu Soren started the movement against the moneylenders for the upliftment of the tribal society from Pokharia of Tundi. After this movement, the flame of education lit up in this area of the underprivileged. He opened village-village Aqeel Akhda (center of education) for the children of tribal and poor who were deprived of education, while his night school at Pokharia Ashram proved beneficial for the tribal society. In this movement run by him from the year 1970, social work started under the banner of Sonet Santhal Samaj. Seeing the plight of the tribals and the regret of dropping out in the middle, inspired them for tribal education.
Munilal Marandi, a retired teacher from DVC Chandrapura, who was an ally in the Mahajani movement, says that Shibu Soren had established the Akil Akhara so that the children of the poor could stay in the village itself, while in the night school, he added that people would work for agricultural labor throughout the day. , will reach the ashram for some time at night for studies. Due to which they will not have to suffer financial loss.
Ghatimlal Marandi, who was an aide of the movement, says that in those days there was no electricity in the Pokharia Ashram covered with mountains and forests. Despite this, Shibu, on the strength of the lantern, started basic and vocational education for the people who were deprived of education. Women and men were taught alphabet knowledge, collective farming as well as animal husbandry.
Purnadih's teacher Rajendra Tiwari, who was a companion of Shibu Soren's struggle, then went from village to village to make people aware about studies. Educated youth were urged to contact village to village and educate at least five people. Shibu Soren had appealed to the needy people that if they are not able to buy slate and pencil, then it does not matter, take the land with cow dung and get alphabet knowledge from the burnt coal and white shadow of the brick kiln. He established village-village libraries. He also called upon the educated youth of every village to educate five uneducated people in that village. People will automatically get education by joining such chains. At the same time, he established a sewing center in the ashram itself, where about 20-30 girls of Pirtand were learning to sew. Seeing all this social work, people around including Tundi started calling him Guruji.
According to Sarita Kumar, research scholar of Vinoba Bhave University Hazaribagh History, when Dhanbad Deputy Commissioner KB Saxena reached Palma to meet Shibu Soren for the first time, there was a crowd of ten thousand tribals. As soon as the Deputy Commissioner arrived, all the tribals stood up, but as soon as Shibu made a sound in the Santhali language, everyone sat down. Seeing this, it struck Saxena's mind that Shibu has carved a distinct identity among the underprivileged Santhals. After which he proposed to join the mainstream.

No one wants to break the build. Agile development and build automation – from continuous integration (CI) to full continuous delivery workflow – enable development teams to produce a production-ready version of the application at will. However, frequent builds, often running in parallel, are intentionally interrupted when a validation step fails. Rolling back the code and relaunching the build pipeline allows the team to continue developing, but too-frequent rollbacks or defects affecting critical functionality will cause delays and impact the team's productivity overall.
Production defects are costly. Identifying a defect in production costs about 30 times more than the same defect fixed in development and takes about five times longer to resolve. Certain industries – such as embedded software, medical devices, and high-value transactions – experience even higher costs and reputation damage from bugs. Fixing defects in testing costs about 10 times more than development and takes only about twice the time it would have taken before checking in the code. In waterfall development, it would not present a substantial difference; however, in the continuous integration assembly line methodology, defects found in testing still break the build.
Left-shifting defect detection, from testing and production to developers, is not a new concept. It just becomes more critical as software powers more mission-critical systems, IoT devices, and backend enterprise operations, driving up the cost and impact of production defects. Left-shifting optimizes continuous delivery workflows by reducing build pipeline breakage and allowing developers, the primary expense for a development organization, to spend less of their time on diagnosing problems.
Static code analysis automatically finds potential defects or security vulnerabilities in the source code prior to running the application. SCA tools can be light and look primarily at code syntax, or more sophisticated, examining the complex application execution paths. Industries such as automotive, healthcare, and aerospace mandate the use of such tools in the testing and validation phase. Integrating SCA at the build or CI process improves quality and security. True left-shifting, however, requires wide adoption of SCA at the developer's desktop, scanning and cleaning the code prior to checking in rather than waiting for the build to fail. Klocwork SCA, for example, combines both desktop and central build\CI time analysis capabilities.
Using code frameworks, code components, or libraries, commercial and open source reduce the volume of custom code developed and therefore eliminate defects making their way into the build. Standard "plumbing" tasks – such as complex UI elements, math and analytics algorithms, data mapping, networking, and so on – can be handled by code libraries while developers focus their expensive time on true business logic code. Properly-tested frameworks, supported commercially or by a vibrant community, proactively left-shift problem detection by not introducing "plumbing" code defects to begin with.
Application performance management solutions provide production performance and failure alerting, including analytics designed primarily for production. It's unusual not to have comprehensive monitoring in place for production applications. Plenty of commercial and open source solutions are available for different cloud and on-premises environments; however, they are not built with developers in mind. Lightweight APM tools designed specifically for developers left-shift performance problems and error detection to the developer desktop. Desktop APM – such as XRebel APM for Java and Zend Server developer edition or Z-Ray for PHP – allows developers to proactively optimize code before it enters the integration phase.
Adopting standard, automatically-generated application stacks and virtualization or containerization that match the production environments is another practice that left-shifts a class of errors to the developer's responsibility by not introducing them to begin with. In the cloud or on-premises, standard application stacks reduce chances of configuration and environment mismatch issues from making their way into the build.
Production defects are costly. Developers don't want to break the build. Every small shift to the left has a substantial impact.

La Constitution polonaise d' (en polonais : Ustawa konstytucyjna 23 kxietnia 1935 ou Konstytucja kwietniowa) est une loi constitutionnelle adoptée le  par la Diète de Pologne. Elle introduit en Pologne un régime présidentiel autoritaire.

Il est communément admis que la rédaction de la constitution a été fortement influencée par Józef Piłsudski, qui décède, le , deux semaines et demi après l'adoption de la constitution.

Résumé
La loi constitutionnelle introduit l'idée que l'État est un bien commun de tous les citoyens. Elle limite les pouvoirs de la Diète et du Sénat tout en renforçant l'autorité du président de la République de Pologne. C'est lui qui choisit les membres du gouvernement. Il a le droit de révoquer le Parlement avant la fin du mandat, de nommer un tiers des sénateurs. Il a le droit d'émettre des décrets et de mettre son véto aux lois non constructives adoptées par la Sejm. Il est également le commandant en chef de l'armée et l'inspecteur général des forces armées.

Le chapitre II de la nouvelle constitution donne le droit au président de nommer son successeur en cas de guerre. Cette caractéristique a été utilisée comme base juridique pour justifier l'existence du gouvernement polonais en exil pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La constitution est officiellement abolie en 1944 par les autorités communistes de Pologne soutenues par l'URSS. Tout en introduisant de nombreuses lois basées sur le système stalinien, la Pologne retourne officiellement à la Constitution de mars.

En septembre 1939, après la double invasion allemande et soviétique, le président Ignacy Mościcki se réfugie en Roumanie où il est interné sur pressions allemandes. Le , Mościcki choisit de démissionner et transfère ses pouvoirs au président du Sénat Władysław Raczkiewicz alors réfugié en France. Dès le lendemain le nouveau président de la République, désigne le général Władysław Sikorski comme Premier ministre. Le , devant l'intention évidente de la France de signer un armistice avec l'Allemagne, le président de la République et le gouvernement polonais en exil embarquent depuis Saint-Jean-de-Luz pour gagner l'Angleterre et s'installer à Londres afin d'y continuer la lutte.

Dans son manifeste du , le Comité polonais de Libération nationale, formé à l'initiative de l'Union soviétique et de ses partisans polonais, afin d'administrer les territoires polonais, déclare que la Constitution d'avril est illégale. En conséquence le gouvernement polonais en exil devient illégitime. En vertu de la constitution d'avril, il continuera cependant de fonctionner jusqu'en , pour transmettre le pouvoir à Lech Wałęsa, démocratiquement élu président de la République.

1890, Amusements & Games, Browse By Era, Browse by Subject, Victorian
An article by Milton Bradley, the now widely known game manufacturer, published in 1894 by Good Housekeeping. Few realize that Milton Bradley was a publisher, manufacturer of games, an author, and even developed a system for teaching color in schools known as the Bradley system. This article specifically deals with a certain stigma that was evidently attached to games esp in some New England communities. His article is interesting as it sheds light into the thinking of the time.
The return of long winter evenings brings to light the stores of games and fireside amusements which have rested in the archives of the homes of the land during the reign of outdoor sports. The card and board games will now take the place of tennis, croquet baseball and the cycle, and supplement the magazine and latest books of story, history and travel in the amusement and instruction of the family circle.
Because of the great increase in the number and popularity of educational and other social games, the subject has come to have an importance in our home life not awarded it fifty years ago, when the boys resorted to the secrecy of the haymow to play " Highlow-Jack " on rainy afternoons, and some of the older men enjoyed the same sport evenings in the rear part of the village store by the dim light of the tallow-dip, because "cards" were the synonym for all that was low and wicked.
The general prevalence of games in our social life gives interest to an exhibit pertaining to Ancient Religions, Games and Folk Lore at the World's Fair in a department of Ethnology, in charge of Mr. Stewart Culin of Pennsylvania University. This very interesting exhibit showed, among other things, that there is nothing new under the sun.
The Fifteen puzzle was described by an English writer some two hundred years ago. The game of Tip-cat, as played by the boys in our streets, is duplicated by a specimen from Egypt of the date 2800 B. C, and the ball as an implement of sport appears associated with objects in another game in Egypt at least 4700 years ago. Fox and Geese and other similar sports are traced to the Japanese of the sixteenth century. The Zuni Indians of Mexico have a wonderful game, called The Priest of the Bow, which is very similar to an ancient Egyptian game which has come down from 1600 B. C. Mr. Culin thinks the Zuni game may be regarded as in advance of any other board game, even of our own civilization, until we come to the true game of Chess. He says, " Chess stands alone among games. We do not find the links that connect it with lower forms of board games."
Playing cards were exhibited in great variety and it is demonstrated that they were invented by the Chinese and evolved from the dominoes, which in turn came from dice, a domino-block representing a pair of dice side by side. The dice in turn are traced from China to India, one being shown which belongs to 600 B. C. The dice are traced to " Knuckle Bones " used in the games of Old Egypt, ivory specimens of which are shown as having been found in the tomb of Queen Hatasu, B. C. 1600. The knuckle bones, which were the originals of the ivory and pottery ones used later, were derived from the right and left legs of the sheep, and called Kab by the Arabs, meaning ankle bones. Backgammon appeared in classical history. It was played in the Roman empire, and with little change through medieval Europe under the name "tables."
"Dice-backgammon makes its appearance plainly in classic history. The game of 'twelve lines' (duodecim scripta) was played throughout the Roman empire and passed on, with little change, through medieval Europe, carrying its name of tabulae, tables; its modern representation being French tric track, English backgammon, etc. Among the ancient Greeks Kubeia, or ' dice playing,' is shown by various classical passages to be of the nature of backgammon."
Thus we see that the playing of games has always been among the chief amusements of all ages, and we may safely infer that it always will be. Therefore may we not profitably consider the reason why the playing of games, and especially games of cards, has, in the olden times at least, been considered degrading and positively wicked in many communities, especially in New England? The writer remembers distinctly when, at a very early age, he secretly played the game of Dr. Busby with a chum who had become possessed of a set of these cards, and that the pleasure of the game was seriously marred by the feeling that as the game consisted of cards it must in some way be very sinful.
The regular "High-low-Jack" playing cards, checkers, and fox and geese, and possibly home-made dominoes, were practically the only fireside games known in that vicinity, and of these the cards were by the best families considered as among the devices of the evil one, while checkers was the staple game always found chalked on the head of a flour barrel in the village store. One good deacon, the father of a family of grown-up sons and daughters, steadfastly forbade a pack of cards in the house, but aided in the making of numerous sets of dominoes, and in his agreeable moods joined with the younger children in their games with the dotted blocks. All this when analyzed is most unreasonable, because every one must allow that there is per se nothing more sinful or degrading in a few spotted cards than in a number of dotted blocks, and therefore the cause for objection to cards in the minds of the best people of the past generations must be found in the use made of the materials.
In those days "playing cards " were chiefly used in gaming for stakes, and were intimately connected with hard cider and New England rum. Therefore there was a very natural prejudice against the cards as the means of the act. At present, dominoes may be as closely associated with beer drinking, the drinks being the stakes.
Another parent, of a later generation, was wiser than the before-named deacon and did not draw any line between the kinds of games that were indulged in, but required that they should always be played "fair," and never for stakes. The boy in this family was forbidden to play marbles "for keeps," but was supplied with the necessary pennies with which to purchase a reasonable stock of marbles for the amusement of himself and friends. In this family, parents and children could join in any game involving cubes of ivory, blocks of wood, cards of paper or what not, observing only the two limitations above named, not even the paying for a quart of peanuts being allowed to depend on the result of one or more games.
These are merely illustrations of a feeling among the better classes in New England communities less than fifty years ago, and it is not necessary to go back to the first half of this century for examples of the same impressions, even if they are not to be found at the present time. Twenty-five years ago, when the game of Authors was the popular forerunner of the multitude of innocent home games which now pervade every household, the publishers of this and other similar games were considered as rather dangerous to the future well-being of the young people, because, forsooth, if they should acquire the habit of handling cards of any kind, they would soon want the real old-fashioned bugbear in all its natural sinfulness. Probably this notion has very largely worn off, and yet there is enough remaining at present to render the subject worthy of careful thought.
In the consideration of the amusements for either the young or old, is it not more logical to base the selection on the methods, practices and influence of a given game or sport, than upon the name of the sport or the materials with which it is played? Is it not possible that the playing of marbles "for keeps,"' dominoes for drinks, or cards for money, and the gaming they represent, has so demoralized the public mind that no game of chance or skill or contest of physical powers by man or beast can be enjoyed by the public with the keenest zest without the stimulating effect of a wager on the result? Have the same practices rendered it necessary to have prizes of considerable value at stake in order to render popular the social game of progressive euchre, or drive whist in our private parlors? Have the public habitually become so demoralized that a trial of the speed of the noblest animal that serves man must be managed on principles which violate the laws of the state, and that this violation of the laws is upheld by eminent men of good moral training and high legal standing in our communities? "Tall oaks from little acorns grow," and it may be just possible that some of the vital questions that are vexing our legal tribunals, legislative bodies and faithful and devoted parents are referable for solution to playing marbles "for keeps."
Are not these questions worthy our careful attention, purely as matters of good morals and good government? –Milton Bradley.

As the level goes up, HP, attack, and strength will go up, which will give you an advantage for battle.
Cold mode was received well in the Pendulum 20th Anniversary, and will be back in the Digital Monster X. In addition to cold mode, the backup system is being included, as mentioned previously.
By preserving Digimon you back them up, and you can swap them back in with Digimon you are raising.
2 backups can be saved at a time, and you can exchange 1 main and 2 backups, to swap around for a total of 3 Digimon.
He recommends you use the backup system in an effective way.
The Digital Monster X adds new systems and elements and he asks that you try playing it and to enjoy the next MonMon Memo.
Update- Added and cleaned up some translation details above thanks to garm.
Huzzah for leveling up on a V-pet!
Wow. Really adding new dimensions to raising Digimon on V-Pets! Sweet!
I somewhat hope that the tease of GrandDracumon means more than simply the inclusion of his evolution line but also towards additional mechanics. The strongest connection to the X-antibody lore that the species has is after all the mention in his profile that he knows about the secrets of the death-x evolutions which could also play a role in the new V-pet.
The profile also says he keeps a castle in the Dark Area, perhaps he'll be one of / the major boss battle in the quest mode?
Hmmm... I wonder who that could be. heh heh Nice to see them though. Tough fight in that one DS game though.
Ahhh GrandDracumon!! He'll likely appear in the backstory of Chronicle X too! I couldn't be happier <3 As I mentioned in a previous thread, I've been seeing many fan theories lately about GrandDracumon being the original creator of the X-Virus as the Supreme Ruler of the Dark Area, sorta like the origin of the infection which later on Yggdrasil used to carry on with the X-Program...if this turns out to be true I'll scream all over around!!
Added a few cleaned up details from garm that I missed.

Detail For Show: Liberty or Lies - Conservative Talk Radio in Milwaukee Wisconsin
"Liberty or Lies? Conservative Talk Radio in Milwaukee Wisconsin" is an analysis of Milwaukee Conservative talk radio as a microcosm of the genre's impact on American politics, media and culture.
Through interviews with Milwaukee Conservative talk radio hosts Charlie Sykes, Jay Weber, Vicki McKenna, Jeff Wagner and James T. Harris; and prominent local critics Eugene Kane, Joel McNally, Bruce Murphy, the late Tim Cuprisin and others, I attempt to address the primary complaints about Conservative talk radio and allow both sides to make their best case. The documentary discusses how Milwaukee Conservative talk radio has impacted Wisconsin politics over the years and is thus a key catalyst in the current Wisconsin Conservative revolution which is having an impact on politics nationally. It then delves into controversial areas about which the larger debate over Conservative talk radio typically occurs: Conservative talk radio is one-sided and unfair, it misinforms listeners, it is a platform for hate speech, it should be regulated, it negatively influences people's perceptions of the news media, it attracts and inspires a dangerous demographic.
(The two-hour special condenses all of this into a single program. The six-part series provides roughly one-hour to each area.) Though ultimately a pro-Conservative talk radio presentation, Liberty or Lies? gives considerable time and consideration to these complaints and allows the critics to make their best case in their own words – a unique balance which viewers seem very much to appreciate and enjoy.

Identity crisis? No, I'm a male nursery teacher!: Is your class library a Tesco experience?
I have been watching the children using the book corner this week. What I saw happening worried me. I noticed that the children discarded the majority of the books they picked up. A few favourites were always taken, but the majority of books ended up on the floor or untouched. These favourites were often carried round like trophies, as just having them seemed to bring pleasure.

The odious iraqui debt
25 September 2003 - by Eric Toussaint
For 20 years the big powers have avoided putting the issue of odious debt into the spotlight, whilst the governments of the indebted countries didn't contest their odious debt. Suddenly in April 2003, the idea of odious debt appears in the speeches of the Bush administration. In these, they demand that France, Germany and Russia (who had been (...)

Gender Implications of Bank Privatization in Developing Countries

Poverty Reduction? or PRSP?
11 March 2003 - by Shalmali Guttal
PRSPs will create and entrench policy-induced poverty. They will have little to do with poverty reduction in any meaningful sense. But they will certainly strengthen the grip of the Washington Consensus on the policy environments of recipient countries.
PRSP in Pakistan

The World Bank and the Third World Debt Crisis in historical Perspective
14 March 2002 - by Eric Toussaint
From the early 'seventies, McNamara saw the speed of growth of Third World indebtedness as a problem. He declared: "By the end of 1972, the debt totalled 75 billion dollars and annual servicing was more than seven billion dollars. Debt servicing rose by 18 per cent in 1970 and by 20 per cent in 1971. The average rate of increase of the debt (...)

Not one of my biggest worries here.
Oooo! That is bad for everybody.
This always fascinates me! Perfect coordination.
I pretty much don't dive without pseudoephedrine.
I don't care about the color but want the shirt.
And the bad part is they were BOTH there.
Actually It was great to talk to them. I had met Tom before when he displaced much more water but I don't believe I had met Bassman.

The upper midwestern state of South Dakota, home to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, was the 40th state to join the Union in 1889.
Our historic map archives include many vintage maps of South Dakota and the Dakota Territory before statehood. We also have old maps that illustrate the geography of the Black Hills, where miners flocked to in the late 1800s when gold was discovered in the area. We also have maps of the following counties: Aurora, Bon Homme, Clark, Deuel, Hanson, Kingsbury, Lincoln, McCook, Miner, Minnehaha, Moody, and Union.
(Click To Show More ▼)
If you're looking for a specific South Dakota map and don't see it on this page, contact us, and we'll check our archives. While we have an extensive collection of vintage maps, there remain many more we still need to restore, and chances are, we'll have what you're looking for.
The land now known as the state of South Dakota was part of the famous Louisiana Purchase of 1803. A year later, in 1804, the Lewis and Clark expedition established the first settlement at Fort Pierre. As happened with other early settlements of this time, there were clashes with Native Indians. Most notably was the Battle of Wounded Knee (also known as the Wounded Knee Massacre), where U.S. Army troops killed approximately 150 Sioux Indians.
Before the Louisiana Purchase, the land was first inhabited by Paleoindian hunter-gatherers, followed by a people known as the Mount Builders, then the Arikara, and later the Sioux tribes (the Lakota, the Eastern Dakota, and the Western Dakota). In the mid-1700s, Europeans arrived and claimed the land for France.
Millions of bison once roamed South Dakota before 1800, but they were relentlessly hunted and killed until around 1900. By that time, they were nearly extinct, with only about 1,000 thought to be left out of an estimated 60,000 million killed. Restoration efforts have helped the bison population grow today to several hundred thousand. South Dakota is a leading U.S. producer of bison, as well as pheasants. Agriculture is one of the state's top industries—its main crops are corn, hay, soybeans, and wheat.
Tourism also fuels South Dakota's economy, with over two million people alone visiting the state to see Mount Rushmore's sculptures of the faces of Presidents Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Washington. The popularity of this national memorial has earned South Dakota the nickname of Mount Rushmore State. Then there are the dramatic landscapes of Badlands National Park and the underground complex of caves at Wind Cave National Park, which also draw visitors worldwide.
Wildlife is abundant in South Dakota, including buffalo, deer, elk, antelope, jackrabbits, and prairie dogs. Ring-necked pheasants (the state bird) and golden and bald eagles are also prevalent. And in the spring and summer months, wildflowers bloom across the state.
Finally, did you know the world's largest mountain carving is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota? It's a carving of Crazy Horse that's been in progress since 1948, and when it's finally finished, it'll be considered the Eighth Wonder of the World. The final carving will depict the Oglala Lakota warrior on a horse, pointing to his tribal land.

Happy Birthday Margaret. Hope all is well with you and your family. It was nice to see you at the reunion last year. Muff and I drank a little too much on Friday and didn't make it back on Saturday. Oh well. I guess age eventually catches up to everyone. To be back in college for a few days might be fun. Or maybe it's just fun remebering those days. At least the ones we can remember.
Greg Owings has a birthday today.

Jack was a great friend who I ran in to off and on where we worked out after he recently moved back to Norman. I'm very saddened by this news, which has caught me by completely by supprise. One thing I remember about Jack is he had a pet wolf growing up. A real wolf, not one of those hybrid part dog animals. And completely tame.

Tupelo Honey: Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there, and especially to my wonderful Momma. I love her very much, and hope that one day I can be as good a mom as she is.
The day I came home from the hospital. Matt looks very thrilled to have a new baby sister.
My mom likes to dodge the camera as much as possible, so this is the most recent picture I have of the two of us, which was from last summer.
Also, Happy Mother's Day to my mother-in-law, Sally! She's the best mother-in-law you could ask for.
And a few summers ago all grown up.
I've already been to church and brunch with my mom, and plan on heading to her house this afternoon for dinner.
I hope you all get to spend time with your moms, and if not, I'm sure a long phone call will do!
I'm your newest follower! I found you through a picture of your cute library on interest. I plan on organizing my classroom library over the summer.


I ordered some screen corners, but they turned out to be the wrong ones, and the company did not have the ones I needed. However, the office help immediately directed me to another outlet who helped me obtain the correct size I needed. I really appreciated the extra mile they went to help me out.

Welcome to the inaugural entry in our annual series of year-end best-selling gear lists. For 2018, we're kicking things off with a look at the guitar and bass amp market. We'll follow up in the coming weeks with looks at the pedals, synths, and amps recording gear markets.
To start, here's a look at the overall best-selling amps of 2018 across both new and used sales on Reverb.
As always when we present rankings like this, it's worth keeping in mind that our data is limited to sales on Reverb. While we think this is a good sample of the broader market, the specific dynamics on our site might differ from what you might find across the entire industry, especially when it comes to used gear, and all the lists on this page include combined sales for new and used amps.
On the above list, new entrants this year include the Black Fly 3 Mini combo, which seems to have taken the mantle as the go-to portable battery amp. The Milkman The Amp—which was launched at NAMM back in January— also did extremely well right out of the gate. While not the only recent amp design to use the amp-on-pedalboard format, it's clearly doing something right, just topping the Quilter MicroBlock 45, another pedal enclosure style amp.
Amps that made the list last year but dropped off in 2018 include the Fender Champion 600, Peavey Classic 30, Mesa Boogie Mark Five 25, Danelectro Honeytone Mini, Kemper Amps Profiler Head, Quilter 101 Mini, and Panama Guitars Conqueror.
As you may notice, the overall best-sellers tend to veer towards the lower-end of the market, with lots of entry-level models like the best-selling Fender Blues Junior and portable options like the Orange Micro Terrors (both the MT20 and the Micro Dark Terror). For a different segment of the market, let's look at the most popular models that sell, on average, for more than $1,000 USD used.
One particular factor that can play into these findings is that we're treating head and combo versions, even of the same circuit and rating, as different models, which can have a negative impact on the rankings of some makers who offer an array of different options for every base amp model.
Another important note with the above lists is unlike last year, we've combined all the vintage Fender amps into single models regardless of the exact period. So for instance, all the Deluxe Reverbs made in the '60s and '70s combine in the above ranking regardless of whether they're Silverface or Blackface versions. This combination also had the effect of placing the comparatively cheaper Super Reverb amp on the overall best-seller list for the first time.
With bass amps, small format, portable heads continue to sell extremely well. Affordable Class D technology has made it so that every bass player can snag a reliable, powerful amp head that they can comfortably carry wherever their musical endeavors take them.
And finally, let's take a look at the most popular amp brands of the year across all sales. First, a ranking of most-popular brands by total number of sales on Reverb. Second, a look at brands ranked by amount of money spent across all sales.

River Cess County Senator Dallas Gweh says it's "scare tactics," suggestion by River Gee County Senator Comany Wesseh that to impeach Associate Justice Kabineh M. Ja'neh illegally has a danger of throwing Liberia into chaos.
"…So we are not here to bow down to scare tactics," Sen. Gweh said Tuesday, 6 November on OK FM in response to Senator Wesseh's argument that was aired earlier on Monday on the same platform that the illegal legislative process has potential to cause chaos here.
The Senate has amended Rule 63 of its standing rules that addresses impeachment in the face of bitter division among members of the Liberian Senate on the subject of impeaching Associate Justice Kabineh M. Ja'neh over allegations of corruption, proved misconduct and other charges.
Sen. Gweh argues that to equate the issue of amending the Senate's rule to a danger of the country is "a scare tactics.""So I think we cannot dignify that …, that got nothing to do with national issue. That's our internal Senate standing rule," Sen. Gweh emphasizes.
He says Rule 63 is what guides the Senate and it is the procedure they follow when they are practicing their legislative activities.He also argues that Article 43 of the Liberian Constitution gives power to the House of Representatives to prepare the bill of impeachment, saying how they do it can never be questioned by the Senate.
Sen. Gweh's comment comes in the wake of River Gee County Sen. Comany Wesseh's warning aired on Monday, 5 November the danger of illegally impeaching Associate Justice Ja'neh.Sen. Wesseh warned that it has the propensity to throw Liberia into chaos when those expressing disagreement react with "unconstitutional" actions.
"This war in Liberia, if you listened to all the different factions, they said that something was done unconstitutionally. When Mr. Doe made his coup de tate, he said, they said misuse of power, this that, corruption, and all of that and people were killed," Sen. Wesseh recalled during a live talk show at OK FM in Monrovia Monday, 5 November.
According to him, when you do things that are wrong, there are other people who express their disagreement by fighting back on it "unconstitutionally."He says the action of his colleagues on Capitol Hill is not just wrong, but it also has the potential to throw Liberia into chaos and more confusion.
Ruling party CDC lawmakers Rep. Moses Acarus Gray and Rep. Thomas Fallah have been leading the campaign to impeach Ja'neh over claims of corruption, proved misconduct and other charges.

Counterfeit money is the fake implication of the real money. Basically, in simple words, counterfeit money is fake money that can be used to as value. There can be various reasons one may acquire counterfeit money but sometimes one can land up in a situation where he/she has to get rid of his/her counterfeit money as soon as possible. What should one do in this case? If you have also got some sort of undetectable counterfeit money for sale with you that are causing any problem then keep reading this post till the end.

The methods displayed here are just for educational knowledge from our side and we from our end will not be held responsible for any of your actions or consequences. Do anything at your own risk!
If your aim is to just get rid of the counterfeit money and you are not worried about any profit or loss then you can actually it with a counterfeit label on listing sites like eBay. This is a good way but yes if you have a lot of money piled up with you then you may not be able to sell it all at once but at least some of your money would get away. A quick search on eBay with the term, 'Counterfeit currency for sale' would bring you a lot of results.
The second way is to just spend as you would spend normal money. If you are a little clever then you may actually able to get rid of the counterfeit money by the daily trades in your local market. But still, like any other method, this method is also quite risky.
If you don't want to get face by any law enforces, you can buy drugs from the counterfeit money and then sell those drugs on the street. Here also your clever part comes in play. You have to make sure that the seller doesn't recognize the money and gets doomed by your approach.
Sell it back from where you actually bought it! Yes, we believe this is possible to some extent. Some of the companies and agencies deal in fake money and are ready to buy them. You can also hold high-quality counterfeit money for sale campaigns on darknet forums.
We hope that this post helped you to get rid of the counterfeit money that you had bought from campaigns like How can I get rid of counterfeit money fast?

Australian Federal Police are carrying out a raid on the ABC headquarters in the inner-Sydney suburb of Ultimo. Three officers entered the Harris Street building just before 11.30am. The plain-clothed officers were met by ABC security and staff in the lobby area of the ABC Ultimo Centre before meeting with lawyers for the broadcaster. The raids are in connection with a 2017 report called "the Afghan files", based on leaked defence documents. The police warrant names ABC reporters Dan Oakes and Sam Clark and news director Gaven Morris. The story revealed incidents of Australian troops killing unarmed men and children, with the cases being investigated as potential unlawful killings. The sensitive documents were marked as "AUSTEO" - Australian eyes only. The raid comes the day after Australian Federal Police raided the home of News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst in connection with a 2018 story she authored concerning top-secret plans to expand surveillance of Australian citizens. Smethurst has not been charged with any offence. It also comes days after a former Australian military lawyer charged over the leak of documents to the ABC was committed to stand trial in the ACT Supreme Court. David William McBride, 55, is accused of theft and three counts of breaching the Defence Act, for being a person who is a member of the defence force and communicating a plan, document or information, an offence that carries and unlimited fine or prison time as penalty when heard on indictment. ABC executive editor John Lyons, who is tweeting Wednesday's conversation between ABC lawyers and the AFP officers, said police have told them Wednesday's raid is not in connection to Tuesday's search of Smethurst's house. "ABC lawyers tell AFP: We waive no rights, and reserve the right to take injunction against the warrant," John Lyons tweeted. "The AFP tell us they are interested in 'certain things'". In a statement, the Australian Federal Police said Wednesday's search warrant "relates to a referral received on 11 July 2017 from the Chief of the Defence Force and the then-acting Secretary for Defence". The raids were "in relation to allegations of publishing classified material, contrary to provisions of the Crimes Act 1914". "All AFP search warrants are authorised by a magistrate or an appropriate member of the judiciary. This is the result of supporting documentation or material being presented to the court which provides sufficient suspicion that a criminal offence has been committed," the statement said. "No arrests are planned today as a result of this activity." ABC managing director David Anderson said it was "highly unusual" for the national broadcaster to be raided in this way. "This is a serious development and raises legitimate concerns over freedom of the press and proper public scrutiny of national security and defence matters," he said in a statement. "The ABC stands by its journalists, will protect its sources and continue to report without fear or favour on national security and intelligence issues when there is a clear public interest." Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Wednesday said he was not troubled by a federal police raid on the home of Ms Smethurst, arguing all Australians must abide by national security laws. 2GB radio host Ben Fordham also revealed this week that he has been contacted by the Department of Home Affairs about his reporting, with the department investigating how he obtained "highly confidential" information about asylum seeker vessels. Fordham said the department was seeking his co-operation with the probe, which could become a criminal investigation and "potentially" involve a police raid. Journalists' union the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance said a second day of raids set a "disturbing pattern of assaults on Australian press freedom" and was an attack on the public's right to know. "Police raiding journalists is becoming normalised and it has to stop," union official Marcus Strom said. "These raids are about intimidating journalists and media organisations because of their truth-telling. They are about more than hunting down whistleblowers that reveal what governments are secretly doing in our name, but also preventing the media from shining a light on the actions of government." Strom said the Coalition and Labor had together created a legal environment that was enabling a "politically motivated assault" on public interest journalism. Centre Alliance senator Rex Patrick immediately hit out at the latest police raids, saying the ABC's investigation was clearly in the public interest. "It appears this is the chosen week for a full-blown attack on freedom of the press in this country," he said. Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young called for an urgent inquiry into press freedom. "Another day, another AFP raid on Australian journalists. This is a very worrying sign," she said. "Australians deserve and have every right to know what our [government] is up to."
