Weirder translations!
November 26, 2021 November 26, 2021 sophushelle
Danish. The op-ed argues that the Danish translation culture has been seized by an exaggerated caution, as translators beautifully balance readability and accuracy but rarely stray from the mainstream or challenge what translations can or should be. Translations can renew and enrich the target language in powerful ways, but only if the genre of translation itself is kept new through experimentation, so that we do not come to take it for granted as a neutral medium.

Chymical remix
November 5, 2021 November 8, 2021 sophushelle
Danish. I discuss a bewildering work of Medieval mystic literature known as Aurora consurgens, "The Rising Dawn," newly translated into Danish by Aksel Haaning. In his introduction, Haaning describes the work as a "stream of unconsciousness," a torrential flow of images and metaphors that seeks to recast the spiritual practice of alchemy in a Christian guise. Biblical quotes are appropriated and adapted to the strange flow of the text, culminating in a turbo-charged alchemic remix of the Song of Songs.

The ghost of ages past
October 29, 2021 October 29, 2021 sophushelle
Danish. In my fourth entry for Weekendavisen's lexicon, I discuss the strange phenomenon of the Zeitgeist—the inexplicable but undeniable feeling that each period of cultural history is characterized by a certain similarity. The feeling may be illusory and ill-defined, but it is powerful nonetheless, reminding us that we are like birds in flock—part of an enormous movement that we can neither fully comprehend nor control when we are in it. Our life is shaped by the ghostly presence of historical change.

Gilgamesh in English
The book includes a translation of Gilgamesh, and five essays that introduce readers to the world of the epic. The translation is a fresh take on the ancient epic and seeks to bring out the poetic power, clarity, and enchanting cadence of the original text. The essays discuss the epic's long history, its literary form, its depiction of emotions (especially the homoerotic bond between the main characters), its engagement with death and the power of narrative, and its social context, including the role of women and of the natural world.

Food in Fleming
September 24, 2021 October 12, 2021 sophushelle
In another, perhaps better world, Ian Fleming would have been a food writer. Like few other authors, he knows how to describe the joys of gourmandise. But Fleming does not just dwell on the pleasure of eating. He insists on naming specific brands of salmon, champagne, and shampoo, or whatever else his character comes us across, in a clear attempt to shape the taste of his readers in more senses than one. The Bond books are Bildungsromane for a post-war consumerist society, where the upper middle class needed to be told what products to buy and what salmon to savor.

Polarized poetry
September 9, 2021 September 20, 2021 sophushelle
For a special issue of Weekendavisen on the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, I wrote three pieces, including an essay on political polarization, where I argue that there is a divide within polarization itself. We know that we belong to one of two warring factions who disagree about almost everything, but we still strive to reach general conclusions about the world, as if that split did not exist. Nobody represents this divide better than Dante, who was incessantly polemical and just as intellectually ambitious. His poetry is made great by the tension between polarized passion and worldwide vision.

Killing her softly
September 6, 2021 September 6, 2021 sophushelle
Danish. In a review of Ole Meyer's translation, I discuss the Latin poet Propertius. He deployed a masterful command of shiftiness to engineer a political scandal, rejecting the Augustan celebration of soldiery and pious marriages in favor of extramarital affairs. Though making love not war has since ceased to be provocative, Propertius remains as irksome as he was in antiquity, since his romances are full of spite, spittle, and violence against women. Propertius is not a poet for the times, but then again, he never was.

The runes and the rock
September 6, 2021 October 29, 2021 sophushelle
Danish. In my third entry for Weekendavisen's lexicon, I tell the strange tale of the Runamo cliff, which was for centuries thought to contain an ancient inscription written in an unknown runic alphabet. In 1841, Finnur Magnússon produced an 800-page report on the Runamo inscription, in which he claimed to have finally deciphered it, offering a translation of the text. But just a few years later, the runes were revealed to be nothing but random cracks in the rockface.

Danish. In a review of the third Danish translation of Sappho to appear in ten months (!), I argue that one of the distinguishing features of Sappho's poetry is their ability to create what I call moving images, in a nod to the oxymoronic force that this phrase once carried: the poems present pictures that are perfectly still, yet infused with motion. Nothing ever happens in the now of Sappho's poems, but her words still shimmer with memories of the past and expectations for the future.

Atomic geese
August 19, 2021 August 24, 2021 sophushelleLeave a comment
Danish. A short essay reflecting on the title of my high school coursebook on literature: At omgås tekster ("How to deal with texts"), which the students quickly transformed into Atomgås tekster ("Atomic goose texts"). The best teachers of literature are those who treat texts as open to unexpected collisions of words that produce new and unsettling meanings, instead of presenting them as codifications of fixed allegories whose significance the students must decipher.

Two redevelopment sites – Beauty World Plaza and 409-419 Upper East Coast Road – have been launched for sale by tender, revealed marketing agent Knight Frank Singapore.
Located in District 21, Beauty World Plaza comprises a single block with 30 residential units and 61 retail units. With an area of 2,305.6 sq m, the site is zoned commercial and residential under the 2014 Master Plan with a gross plot ratio of 3.0.
More: Developers' En Bloc Appetite Diminishing: RHB
The development is right next to Beauty World MRT station and is within a 300-metre radius of schools, supermarkets, eateries and wet markets. It is also connected to other parts of Singapore via the Pan-Island Expressway, Dunearn Road, Bukit Timah Road, Clementi Road and the Ayer-Rajah Expressway.
The owners expect offers to go beyond their reserve price of $165 million, or $2,189 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr) based on the maximum permissible gross floor area of 7,001.38 sq m. No development charge is payable.
"An outline application for the change of use of the residential component to serviced apartments has been submitted to URA, pending their response," revealed Ian Loh, Knight Frank Singapore executive director and head of investment and capital markets.
Meanwhile, 409-419 Upper East Coast Road is a landed development comprising six strata terrace houses.
All six owners have agreed to the sale and expect offers above the property's reserve price of $18 million ($1,337 psf ppr).
Zoned "residential, three-storey mixed landed" under the 2014 Master Plan, the 1,251.1 sq m site can be redeveloped into six semi-detached homes, subject to relevant approvals.
The property is close to the upcoming Bayshore MRT station which will form part of the new Thomson-East Coast Line. Well-connected via East Coast Parkway, it is a short distance from the Central Business District and Changi Airport.
The tender for Beauty World Plaza and the Upper East Coast Road property will close on 30 January and 31 January respectively.

MSquare Solar Panel: Review Alert
Solar power systems are useless without solar panels as there will be no generated electricity. Choosing the right solar panels is very important to get the best value for your money. Homeowners or business owners must research the solar market carefully before purchasing and installing solar power systems for their homes and businesses. However, Compare Solar Quotes is here to save you from the hassle of researching the Australian solar market for solar power systems. Our team will find the best solar panels and components for you based on your requirements and budget. In this guide, we will review the MSquare solar panel available in the Australian solar market.
In 2019, MSquare began operating its business in Australia. The company originally started by applying its brand to solar panels that were manufactured by a Chinese solar panel manufacturer. Clean Energy Council co-licensed the Chinese solar panel manufacturer and MSquare, and the solar panels were sold in the Australian solar market. However, CEC de-listed the solar panels manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer from their list of approved products. And the solar panels were no longer allowed for sale in the Australian solar market.
This delisting by the CEC made way for the MSquare 350W solar panels and future solar products manufactured in Australia into the Australian solar market. The product manufactured by MSquare has been certified as made in Australia and tested by TÜV for IEC standards. The Australian manufacturer has a production facility in Australia situated in Western Sydney, and the production capacity of the company is 300MW per year now.
MSquare revealed that they have plans of establishing a 500MW production facility in Bathurst, New South Wales. Australian solar installers can purchase the MSquare solar panels through their channel partner MMEM Greentech, owner of TLE Electrical. Let us know a bit more about the MSquare solar panels.
MSquare Solar Panel Efficiency
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved a number of solar panels manufactured by MSquare Energy in Australia. The company currently manufactures a 350W solar panel only but has plans of manufacturing more panels within 2021.
The MSquare MSEA series solar panels feature half-cut solar cells, which means that each of the solar cells is divided into two. This feature retains the power output of the solar panels but decreases the resistance of electricity. These monocrystalline solar cells offer a maximum solar panel efficiency of 20.5 per cent, which categorises these solar panels as above average.
The panels manufactured by the company are measured at 1m by 1.69m, which means that these panels can easily be installed for residential solar projects. MSquare has plans of releasing their Kangaroo series solar panels within 2021 and ensures that the new panels will come with better efficiency than the MSEA series panels.
MSquare Solar Panel Warranties
The majority of solar panels sold in the Australian solar market come with a product warranty of no longer than 10 to 15 years. Product warranty of solar panels provides protection against all sorts of defects that arise in the manufacturing process. MSquare provides a product warranty of 25 years which shows that the company has confidence in their high-quality solar panels.
The solar panels of MSquare also feature a performance warranty which ensures that the solar panels will generate a specific amount of electricity under standard conditions. Similar to the majority of the solar panel manufacturers in the market, MSquare also offers a performance warranty of 25 years.
Each year, solar panels undergo a certain rate of degradation, which means that a percentage of their efficiency decreases with each passing year. MSquare guarantees that their solar panels degrade at a rate of 0.5 per cent each year after the first year of installation. This degradation rate is slightly better than the standard 0.7 per cent degradation rate in the Australian solar market.
What makes MSquare Different than other manufacturers?
There are several different solar panel manufacturers and brands available in the Australian solar market, but what makes MSquare different from those?
The fact that makes MSquare stand out among the majority of solar panel manufacturers is that the MSquare solar panels are made in Australia. MSquare is currently the second solar panel manufacturer that produces Australia-made solar panels alongside Tindo Solar in Australia.
MSquare currently has a solar panel production facility in Western Sydney where they assemble their solar panels. The company imports the majority of the solar panel parts from overseas. However, the company ensures that most of these components, along with the high-quality solar cells, are not manufactured in China.
Is MSquare reliable?
The majority of solar panel manufacturers entering the solar market in Australia mainly focus on setting up their distribution channels and do not worry about customer service. This results in the suffering of various homeowners and business owners as they try to reach the solar panel manufacturers when problems arise.
Depending on the solar installer for warranty claims is not really a good option as we have seen several solar installers go out of business in the last few years. MSquare is an Australian business and produces solar panels in a facility in Western Sydney, Australia. The company also has a great customer service team which means that people can easily contact them for warranty claims or any other issues regarding their panels.
MSquare aims to produce highly efficient and cost-effective solar panels for the Australian people in order to provide the best value for money to their customers. The company built their business on four core values which are, ethics, compliance, safety, and people treatment. From everything we have seen and heard about the MSquare solar panels so far, we can say that the company is trustworthy and reliable. If you are looking for a great quality solar panel at an affordable price, then do not forget to check out MSquare.

Undertitel: A Commemorative Volume
Laurie Wesley
Professor A. W. Bishop's Finest Papers
This volume brings together a selection of key papers by this soil mechanics pioneer. The papers have been selected on the basis of their importance in the development of soil mechanics and to highlight the nature and range of subjects that Bishop investigated during the thirty-seven years of his career. Bishop's most influential paper was presented at an ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) conference in Boulder, Colorado, in 1960, and while it made a big impression at the time, it is now in danger of disappearing from sight. In addition, two of Bishop's very significant papers were published in the late 1970s in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, not normal reading for the soil mechanics fraternity, and thus became known to only a few people. That has remained the case to this day, and the fact that these two papers have not been republished was the initial motivation for creating this volume. In addition, it is nearly 40 years since Bishop retired from his professorial position at Imperial College and a fitting time to remember Bishop with both a biography, The Bishop Method, and this volume of his papers. In addition to the Bishop papers, there is a paper by Laurie Wesley and Richard Pugh reflecting their research with Bishop. Separate papers were to have been written after the completion of their PhDs, with Bishop as the lead author, but because of his illness this didn't happen. The opportunity has now been taken to present the comprehensive research in these papers, as a tribute to their supervisor and mentor.

Excerpts: Problem Solved: A Powerful System for Making Complex Decisions with Confidence and Conviction
By: 800-CEO-READ @ 2:58 PM – Filed under: Big Ideas & New Perspectives, Leadership & Strategy
Just deciding how to approach thorny problems is a problem of its own. Where do you start? How do you know where to look for information and evaluate its quality and bias?
Whether you are deciding between colleges, navigating a career decision, helping your aging parents find the right housing, or expanding your business, Problem Solved will show you how to use the powerful AREA Method to make complex personal and professional decisions with confidence and conviction.
That is the topic of Cheryl Strauss Einhorn's new book, Problem Solved. The excerpt below begins to explain how it works.
It can be messy and overwhelming to figure out how to solve big problems or make high-stakes decisions. Friends often asked me: "Where do you start?", "How do you know where to look for information and how to evaluate it?", and "How can you feel confident that you are making a careful and thoroughly researched decision in such a volatile, uncertain world?" I believe the AREA Method will provide you with both comfort and knowhow to do just that.
The AREA Method has worked for me professionally and for the countless students I've taught at both Columbia Business School and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, as well as for a diverse mix of for-profit and not-for-profit clients that hire me for strategy consulting work. But the AREA Method has also changed my thinking. I have found that I'm applying the framework as a way to think about all sorts of personal and professional decisions.
The AREA process gets its name from the perspectives that it addresses: Absolute, Relative, Exploration and Exploitation, and Analysis. The first "A" stands for "Absolute," which refers to primary, uninfluenced information from the sources at the center of your research and decision-making process. The "R" stands for "Relative," and refers to the perspectives of outsiders around your research subject. It is secondary information, or information that has been filtered through sources connected to your subject. The "E" stands for "Exploration" and "Exploitation," and they are the twin engines of creativity—one is about expanding your research breadth and the other is about depth. Exploration asks you to listen to other peoples' perspectives by developing sources and interviewing. Exploitation asks you to focus inward, on you as the decision-maker, to examine how you process information, examining and challenging your own assumptions and judgment. The second "A" stands for "Analysis," and synthesizes all of these perspectives, processing and interpreting the information you've collected. Each of these steps will be explained in detail in the chapters that follow.
Together the "A" and the "R" provide you with the tools necessary to create a framework for gathering and evaluating information. The latter part of the AREA Method, the "E" and the "A," provide detailed examination tools gleaned from experts in other fields such as investigative journalism, intelligence gathering, psychology, and medicine.
AREA helps you make smarter, better decisions by improving upon classic research and decision-making pedagogy in four important ways:
AREA recognizes that research is a fundamental part of decision-making.
AREA solves the problem of mental myopia—assumption, bias, and judgment in particular—through its construction as a perspective-taking process.
AREA addresses the critical component of timing so that you have time for calculated and directed reflections that promote insight, that is, slowing down to speed up the efficacy of your work.
AREA provides a clear, concise, and repeatable process that works as a feedback loop in part or in its entirety.
Cheryl Strauss Einhorn an award-winning investigative journalist, covers business, economic, and financial news for publications including Barron's, Pro Publica, Foreign Policy, and The New York Times. As the founder of CSE Consulting, a strategic consulting practice, she applies her AREA Method-initially developed to promote better decision-making in her journalism work-toward the success of businesses and individuals. A Columbia University adjunct professor, she teaches her AREA Method at Columbia Business School, having also taught it at the Graduate School of Journalism.

Canadian Labour Congress makes TPP a top priority
Posted on November 16, 2016 in Advocacy, Trade Pacts // 0 Comments
Tackling the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is now a top priority for the 3.3-million-member Canadian Labour Congress (CLC).
The CLC's governing body agreed to the change last week after being urged to do so by CWA Canada President Martin O'Hanlon.
"Now that the federal election is over, I'm writing to urge that we reassess our goals and make stopping the TPP a top priority," O'Hanlon wrote in a letter to the CLC's Canadian Council.
He added that advancing the cause of working people "must include stopping or revising the TPP."
With the newly elected Liberal government confirming it will repeal two anti-union bills — C-377 and C-525 — that were rammed through by the Harper Conservatives, O'Hanlon observed that labour no longer has to be on the defensive and can turn its attention to the TPP.
So far, the campaign against the TPP in this country has been led by the Trade Justice Network, a coalition of civil society and labour groups, largely directed and funded by CWA Canada.
"We now look forward to convincing the new government that Parliament must not ratify the TPP without fundamental changes," O'Hanlon said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to "consult" on the TPP and hold a debate in Parliament at a future date.
The TPP would cost thousands of Canadian jobs and force our workers to compete with 65-cent-an-hour wages in Vietnam and slave labour in Malaysia.
One of the most troubling aspects of the TPP is a sweeping investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provision that would give multinational corporations the power to override Canadian sovereignty by suing governments if they feel our labour, environmental, health or other standards contravene the TPP and could lead to a loss of future profits.
And they wouldn't have to use our courts, they could use special secretive trade tribunals that have the power to rule against our government.
CWA Canada has been supported in the campaign by its international partner, the 500,000-strong Communications Workers of America, which has been spearheading opposition to the deal in the United States. The over-arching AFL-CIO has made killing the TPP its top priority.

URACCAN UPDATE
Dear Friends of URACCAN
You've not seen an issue of URACCAN UPDATE for awhile because our editor was out of the country for medical treatment for three months.
However, URACCAN has continued full-steam ahead and there is no lack of either routine or special activities on the three campus and at the national and international levels.
Viva la Autonomia
Felipe Stuart
THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE AUTONOMY OF THE NICARAGUAN ATLANTIC COAST
Beginning Sunday, October 12, FADCANIC [Foundation for the Autonomy and Development of the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua] will host a four day Symposium on Autonomy in Managua's Olaf Palme Convention Center.
More than 600 participants will attend from Nicaragua and 29 other countries from five continents. This will be the 3rd International Symposium. The first -- State, Autonomy, and Indigenous Rights -- was held in 1986, and a 2nd Symposium also sponsored by FADCANIC took place in Managua in November 1991. It was attended by over 400 invitees.
This year's symposium will "evaluate the extent to which Autonomy has advanced and been strengthened, its weaknesses, and the opportunities now before us," a FADCANIC brochure states.
As well, it will take up issues such as how to defend the Autonomy which is now under threat; it will analyze autonomy processes in other countries, especially ongoing struggles to win this right. In addition, workshops will be held on the "indiscriminate and irrational exploitation of our natural resources in the Atlantic Coast regions and the conditions of misery of our inhabitants." Plans and programs of the PEBI [Interncultural Bilingual Education Program] will also be evaluate.
The objective of the Symposium is two-fold: to allow for an interchange of experiences on the international level; and to develop a "plan de lucha" in defense of Autonomy.
The Symposium will be thoroughly pluralist in terms of the social and political range of invitees. They include: members of the Regional Autonomous Councils; community leaders; student and union representative from the Coast; Caribbean Coast university rectors; reps from the central government and from churches and NGOs; Costenos resident in the United States; different national political parties; the National Council of Universities; the Supreme Electoral Council; different business groups, including COSEP; and nationally acclaimed scholars and writers.
URACCAN's participation
Our university will play a major role in the Symposium both on the technical support level and in terms of academic and policy input. URRACAN has responsibility for the Round table and workshop on "Challenges of Autonomy from the Perspective of Indigenous Peoples". The final session, dedicated to discussing and approving a Declaration on Autonomy, will be moderated by our Rector, Dr. Mirna Cunningham.
If you would like to obtain more information about the Symposium please contact the COMITE ORGANIZADOR at email address fadca@ibw.com.ni

Our entire history shows the existence of two radically contrasting and mutually contradictory juridical orders. One unfolded on the Pacific of Nicaragua where the Spaniards eliminated established indigenous cultures. From 1502 to 1555 the population of more than a million people was reduced to less than 50,000 . Those Pacific coast indigenous peoples lost their culture and underwent forced assimilation into the dominant Spanish culture.
History on the Atlanctic Region was different. To increase their changes of survival in face of the Spanish menance, the indigenous people of the Atlantic allied first with pirates and later with the English. Spain, because of that alliance, was never able to exercize sovereignty over the Atlantic Region which constitutes 50% of Nicaragua's [present] territory. England established a protectorate in this region that lasted until 1894. This alliance...is one of the factor that enabled our peoples to preserve fundamental aspects of our culture intact until now: our languages, forms of social organization, traditions, and communal properties.
In 1894 the Nicaraguan government headed by President Zelaya conquered the Atlantic [area] with the support of thearmed forces of the United States. Lands and forest and mineral resources were handed out to foreign U.S. companies and the governing class of that time. All that came with a process of cultural assimilation or integrationism that one Nicaraguan government after another fostered. In that way, the inhabitants of the coast ceased to control their own destiny and went on the become second-class citizens."
Taken from the Introduction to the FADCANIC Press Statement convoking the III International Symposium on Autonomy, Managua, October 12-14, 1997.


Q- Is this a good time to purchase investment property?
A- Yes! Due to current market conditions, the time to become a real estate investor is ripe. There are many low-cost properties in prime rental areas at this point in time, some needing minimal fix-up to turn into great, profitable rentals. Interest rates remain low at this time, as well.
The market is improving for fix-and-flips now, and savvy flippers are once again turning profits on investments. Buying a property and holding it as a rental while your equity grows for a few years is a smart way to build wealth.
Q- What types of properties are good investments?
A- Any property that allows you to make a profit is a great investment. The homes that make the best rentals (that is, those that rent the fastest and typically maximize income for the owners), are single-family detached homes having at least 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. A basement, finished or not, is a plus as well. I have received several requests lately for ranch rental-homes that are wheelchair accessible. Due to our aging population and better care for the disabled population which allows them to live longer and more independent lives, I believe that the demand for these types of properties will continue to rise.
Q- How are investment properties affected by the ever-changing real estate market?
A- Real Estate investments work much like any other financial investment (stocks, bonds, IRA's, etc.) by which your money is currently tied-up hoping for a future return. Any investor must be a patient person who can weather the storm as the market rises and falls. The old adage "Buy low, sell high" applies to investment properties as well. Currently, there are many properties that can be bought for a low price. Many of these investments can be improved and sold for a higher price.
I always encourage my inexperienced investors to purchase investment properties that will make good rentals. In a rapidly changing real estate market, there is less opportunity to make a mistake on an investment that won't sell if the home can be used as a rental. It absolutely makes good financial sense to allow someone else to make your mortgage payment for you while your investment grows in equity.
Q- I have heard that HUD homes VA's and Foreclosure (Bank Owned/ REO) Properties are good investments. Is this true?
A- Yes, they can be good investments, but are not the only good investments. It's important to keep your options open by ferreting out any possible good investment rather than narrowing your search to only HUD or Foreclosure Homes.
Q- I have heard that is is hard to buy a HUD, VA, or Foreclosure Property. Is this true?
A- Yes, and No. To buy a HUD or VA property you need a Realtor who is experienced in navigating the HUD and VA systems. There are forms, contracts, and deadlines that are quite different from those that the average real estate agent normally deals with. HUD and the VA are government agencies with their typical red tape, so missed deadlines or incomplete forms can turn into a real hornet's nest which can cause the agency to cancel the sale and places your earnest money at risk. There is little help available from these agencies, so do choose your Realtor carefully.
With Foreclosure Properties, we are dealing with banks, which do not play by the agreed-upon real estate rules. They usually disregard deadlines, use their own sales contracts, and are difficult to deal with. Again, I urge you to choose an agent who is skilled in bank negotiations.
Q- What about Short-Sales? Are these good investments?
A- Again, that depends on the particular home, purchase price, and necessary repairs. Do not make the common mistake of thinking of Short-Sales as "Quick Sales". They are anything but quick. Short-Sales are currently taking 3-8 months to close.
Short-Sales are homes in which the Seller can't afford to sell the home at market price, so they are asking their Mortgage Lender (bank) to accept a sale for a lower amount than they owe and hopefully, forgive the remainder of the debt.
Short-Sales are extremely difficult to navigate, so it is of utmost importance that your Realtor be skilled in this arena.
Q- What are the steps in purchasing an investment home?
1. Come up with a good personal budget, so you know what you can really afford to pay monthly. Currently, you will most likely need good credit and 10-20% to put down on an investment home.
2. Assemble your team. You will need a mortgage broker/ lender that you feel comfortable with and trust explicitly. And you will need a Realtor who you trust, can communicate well with, who has time to make you a priority, and whom you believe can and will negotiate your best interests. Your Realtor can often recommend lenders that are reputable and talented. It is a good idea to interview several lenders and agents before you decide who you want to play on your team.
3. Based on information from your team, decide what you want and need in an investment. Communicate openly with your team and keep them updated of your changing needs.
4. Be ready to act quickly when your Realtor calls. Great investments go quickly, so there is little time to hesitate when the right one comes along.
5. Be prepared for the roller-coaster ride. Purchasing any home is fraught with ups and downs as negotiation and re-negotiation takes place. This is even more so with an investment property. Be patient and trust your team. Let them know if you want more or less information to be passed along to you. (This depends on whether you are a control-freak with an iron-coated stomach, or someone who would rather be spared the nasty little details that would have you gulping Pepto). And remember that this is a long and rewarding ride, so strap yourself in, hang on, and enjoy the ride!

Q: Почему прописывается array в параметрах функции? <?php
  $message = "Работа не может быть продолжена из-за ошибок:
";
  $check = function(array $errors) use ($message)
  {
    if (isset($errors) && count($errors) > 0) {
      echo $message;
      foreach($errors as $error) {
        echo "$error
";
      }
    }
  };
  $check([]);
  $erorrs[] = "Заполните имя пользователя";
  $check($erorrs);
  $message = "Список требований";
  $erorrs = ["PHP", "MySQL", "memcache"];
  $check($erorrs);
?>

И что значит $check([])?

A: $check([]) это вызов функции для проверки на ошибки.
Проверка идет в строке if (isset($errors) && count($errors) > 0) { вот а сама функция выдаст ошибку вызова если ее не будет.
Можно было написать $check = function(array $errors = []) use ($message), что задало бы дефолтное значение.

I've been in the CRO industry for many years now, and each year I ask the same questions.
Is 2016 finally going to be the year of conversion rate optimisation?
What will be the latest new trends shaping the success of CRO? What new tools or services will appear? Will CRO start to approach the popularity of web analytics or SEO?
While it still may not be this year that CRO finally hits mainstream, the signs are looking more positive – indeed, the findings of the 2015 CRO Report by Econsultancy and RedEye suggest a rising maturity of CRO.
But what will be the major CRO trends that online businesses adopt and take advantage of in 2016?
2016 will see a very positive continual shift in online businesses building and improving in-house CRO capabilities.
In particular, the continuation of hiring dedicated CRO roles – echoed by the 2015 CRO report, that found over two-thirds (69%) of respondents now have a dedicated internal CRO resource, the highest percentage since the report started seven years ago.
However, many online businesses will continue to find it hard to hire CRO talent due to a low number of suitable candidates, a resource that hasn't caught up with the rapidly growing demand yet.
The 2015 CRO report also supported this by revealing that the biggest barrier to CRO success is a lack of resources.
Using a full-service CRO agency to bridge the internal gap or converting internal web analysts are great options to consider.
What are the biggest barriers preventing your organization from improving conversion rates?
This year will see increasing usage of sticky website page elements to improve user navigation experience and to better highlight key conversion-related items.
These sticky elements often have a strong impact on CRO because they help cut out the clutter and focus navigation on content that maximises conversions.
Good examples of these page elements include sticky header navigation menus, sticky sidebars and sticky CTA buttons, which you can now find on smart websites like B&Q and PC World.
It's definitely worth A/B testing these sticky page elements on your site soon.
The growth of lower cost A/B testing tools will continue in 2016 with newer contenders like AB Tasty growing its presence in the UK and filling the small business needs that Optimizely seems to be vacating.
Helping to fuel this further, each year we seem to see a new entrant into the market, and this year there is the exciting rumour of Google planning a much improved A/B testing tool to replace Content Experiments.
Another driver of this commoditisation of A/B testing tools will be the increasing appearance of an A/B testing functionality in other offerings like CMS systems, much like Sitecore has recently successfully implemented.
Over the last few years there has been much greater use of homepage videos to convert visitors. This includes things like explainer videos, product demos and customer testimonials.
The recent increase in lower-cost website video creation services like Demoduck will certainly help this trend continue in 2016.
High quality, benefit-driven videos on key pages can have a huge impact on increasing engagement and conversions.
An excellent example of this is the explainer video on the Visual Web Optimizer homepage, which is high quality, focusing on key benefits with a strong CTA at the end.
I would suggest taking advantage of this trend by creating explainer or demo videos for your key products and A/B testing the impact of them.
We're starting to see a trend for higher quality testing, an encouraging sign of CRO maturity, as online businesses strive for even better results from their A/B testing efforts.
In other words, it is becoming less about running a high quantity of tests and the myth that this will equal better results, and more of a focus on lower quantity but higher quality ideas to gain better results.
Gaining much greater visitor feedback from usability testing and surveys will play a key role in forming stronger impact ideas, as will online businesses that are starting to benefit more from external CRO expertise for test ideas – the increase in CRO agencies offering expert reviews and heuristic analytics is helping to fuel this.
Relying on test ideas from HiPPOs and best guesses will hopefully soon become a thing of the past.
Personalisation remains a very hot topic in the world of CRO, with an increasing demand for personalisation tools – according to the 2015 CRO Report only 22% of respondents were using it, but 56% were planning on using it soon.
Which of the following methods do you currently use to improve conversion rates?
With this greater demand for personalisation tools in 2016, the capabilities within them will increase, including growing sophistication (and lower cost) of 1:1 personalisation and cross-channel personalisation across web, email and apps (and even the emergence of in-store).
Good examples of recent newer personalisation tool offerings are Contour from RedEye and Optimizely Personalisation.
Website redesign failures usually occur due to changing too much at once without using enough CRO redesign best practices.
The most spectacular recent failure happened to Marks & Spencer in 2014, when a major redesign costing £150m resulted in an 8% decrease in online revenue, thousands of annoyed customers and probably several people losing their jobs.
Which big brand will be next in 2016 to publically reveal a major website redesign failure? One will be coming soon, I'm sure of it.
It can easily be avoided though. Incremental CRO-driven changes lessen the risk of failure and ensure higher conversion rates and revenue, instead of step-change redesign without adequate involvement of A/B testing, experts, visitors and their feedback.
This new and improved approach to redesign is starting to finally appear, and is being adopted by many CRO agencies including RedEye.
Which CRO trends do you think will be biggest in 2016?
Now over to you – what are your thoughts on these CRO trends for 2016? What other trends do you think will be big in 2016?
Please comment below so we can discuss and get some great conversations going.
The content marketing gold rush doesn't seem to be slowing, and articles advising brands they need to jump on the bandwagon continue to plague the internet like timeshare salesmen in 1970s Spain.
But does your brand really need content marketing?
Maybe. Personally I'm pro-content, but I also don't believe enough thought goes into why and how brands are doing it.
Ah, the monthly branded Instagram video round-up. The point at which I literally get paid to be entertained.
And hopefully to entertain you in return, of course, and to provide some inspiration when it comes to your own Instagram video efforts.
This week we're covering spaceships, cars that look like spaceships, Matrix barmen, zero-gravity ping pong, chicken-powered pianos, chicken-bothered BB-8s, wrestling, and much more.
Online shopping at Aldi: Is it any good?
Aldi has begun selling its much vaunted wine selection online, with plans to add its Specialbuys in spring.
I've had a scoot through the updated website of the Masters of Marketing Brand of the Year, to see what's worth noticing.


It is with deep sorrow that I have to report that our dear Mama, Gretchen has passed away... We helped her over the Rainbow Bridge on June 27th, after a short illness.... She was THE BEST Mama, giving birth to 32 puppies. She is missed so very very much..... Until We Meet Again, Gretchen, Mom loves you most!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Family tradition says John Richey rode horseback to Texas and applied for a Republic of Texas headright land grant. He returned to Alabama and brought his family to Texas in Nov 1839 where they received certificate #93 for 640 acres. They rode by ox wagon through Memphis, Tennessee where family legend says the Mississippi River was frozen over and the wagon train crossed it on iceS7.
I live in Memphis, Tennessee and if you could see the Mississippi River today you would wonder how that could ever be possible. Recently at a seminar, I asked that question. A kind lady gave me an answer. She said her grandfather remembered the Mississippi River freezing as a young boy. She said that a hundred years ago, the river was much different, and it had places that were not as swift, was more shallow and had many sand bars. I also asked how did they get their wagons across such a large wide river? The answer is they moved them across with barges, horses, mules, and ropes.
John Richey's headright Certificate #93 includes sworn statements that he arrived in the Republic of Texas on the 1 November 1839 with his family, and that he 'resides here now and intends to make this his future place of residence'. It is witnessed by Elias S Bishop and John Sanders. He was issued Certificate #93 for 640 acres of headright of land which was signed by the board.
The Richey family spent some time in Red River County (now Lamar) at Blossum Prairie where the family was closely associated with that of Henry Stout, a Texas Pioneer, see Henry Stout and Sarah Talbot (1). Children of this family married W. B. Stout, a brother of Henry, and two of Henry's children. John Richey died at Blossom, Texas (now Lamar County) near the end of 1840 where his estate is entered into probate in Red River County, on 1 Oct 1840. For details of the probate of his estate, please see his person page at: John Richey (9). Family tradition passed down says he is believed to have contracted pneumonia on his way to Texas from Alabama from which he did not recover. His family scattered widely over Texas with most of them going to Hopkins and Morris Counties.

The Success Principles of Poker: The Power of Silence
Phil Ivey is the greatest pound-for-pound poker player alive.
Patrik Antonius made the online poker world his own. Phil Galfond is an uber-talented player well-respected by his esteemed peers.
What is the commonality? This terrifying poker trident has an astounding technical ability, unwavering emotional control and ... they like to keep their mouths shut.
"Words like violence
Come crashing down
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me"
-- Depeche Mode
All three exert power in silence. Opponents can't stand it. The chatter begins. They can't help it.
But as each word spews forth from that nervous froth they reveal every thought while you sit like a wolf eyeing a baby Musk-Oxen with a broken femur.
Do You Like Oysters?
As a young man, I always had too much to say. There was a time when a Managing Director summoned me during a training course. He was sitting behind this great oak desk in the middle of a cavernous hall.
Approaching him felt like a trundle towards the gallows. His hand, palm face up, motioned for me to take a seat. I sat down, and although I didn't count the time, minutes passed without either of us speaking.
Finally, he said: "Do you like oysters?" I laughed, relieved that he had stolen the silence. He didn't reciprocate. There was a stern earnest to his fat red cheeks.
"They open up to reveal their flesh when the moon is full," said the man across the table. "Do you know what the crabs do when the oysters open their mouths and talk to the moon?"
I didn't even blink before he answered his own question: "They toss a stone into the opening so the oyster cannot close its mouth. Do you know what happens then?"
I just stared at him wondering what the fuck was going on as he formed his hands into pincers, pretending to be the crab devouring the animal that shits pearls.
After the theater the man across the table told me that the board had picked me out as a potential Director. Only one person had a concern - the man with imaginary pincers. He believed that I was all talk with little action to back up the bluster.
I Was Noise
I was noise, and all the words in the world meant nothing to him. Until I learned to stop violating the silence and stamping all over the voices of those desperate to sing, I was heading nowhere.
I was nothing but an oyster and one day I would be eaten alive by a crab.
"Those who know do not speak.
Those who speak do not know."
-- Lao Tzu
Put speech play on the map.
Is Silence Weakness in Poker?
Who is the most talked about poker player in the world right now? It's not Ivey, Antonius or Galfond.
It's William Kassouf. The lawyer-turned-poker star was hated and adored with equal fervor after dominating the ESPN coverage of the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
He used words as a mallet to batter his opposition into submission. Many believe what Kassouf did was an integral part of the game. They place 'speech play' in the playbook alongside the continuation bet, bluffing and folding.
With Kassouf at the table it's easy to see how people view silence as weakness. And then you watch Ivey, Antonius and Galfond. There is no noise.
To them, words are unnecessary; they cloud judgment and create a distraction. It's an art form to keep on the periphery of the conversation, observing the table like a hawk spies a mouse, taking in every morsel without ever holding out your plate.
"Silence is the respite of the confident and the strong," writes Ryan Holiday in The Ego is the Enemy.
When you see someone who can't control their words very often you find they can't control themselves. The human tongue can be as difficult to get a grip of as a snake coated in olive oil.
Let James Woods Be a Lesson: Avoid the Table Talk Tax
When there is talking, there is no action.
Talking Is a Trip to the Zoo
When there is talking, there is no action. Talking is the action.
You need 100% of your energy when playing poker and talking about nonsense depletes that energy because they vie for the same space.
"Words are meaningless
And forgettable"
It takes tremendous restraint and composure to replace talk and hype with action. Action is a walking safari in South Africa with a Spud Gun on your hip. Talking is a trip to the zoo.
Talking can improve the game. The banter is a much-needed shot in the arm. But talking can also ruin a game.
Think of all the idiots who chase away the fish by making them feel stupid. The prat who keeps telling the dealer how to do his or her job. The people who waffle on incessantly about bad beats. And the ego junkies who cannot stop sharing their encyclopaedic knowledge of the game.
Slime in this ear. Slime in that ear. Just stop talking!
The Art of Table Talk: More Than Strategy It's Good for the Game
Talking Keeps You Stuck
How many of you harbor a wish to one day become a professional poker player?
Are you going pro or are you talking about it?
How many of you tell your friends you're booking your trip to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) but have never left your front gate, rooted to the spot and unable to move because you can't stop talking about it?
And who can blame you? Facebook wants to know What's On Your Mind? Twitter wants you to tell the world what you had for breakfast in 140 characters.
Poker forums demand your view of everything from Brian Hastings' decision to sell tea to Patrik Antonius being voted the sexiest male poker player alive.
So you type away until carpal tunnel makes you plunge those hands into an ice-cold bucket of piss.
The Check-In
After the oyster incident it took me 20 years to figure out how to stop talking and I still find it difficult. My wife has been my greatest teacher. Each night we check-in. She begins by going through her day, both from an action-oriented standpoint and an emotional one.
Silence is power.
When she first introduced me to this concept, I couldn't stop talking. I wanted to fix her; shower her with my intelligence - my ego invading her mind with all the noise of an orchestra waiting for the man with the stick to show up.
But she taught me about boundaries. She taught me to hold space. She taught me the art of listening.
Meditation is another way of incorporating silence into your life. It takes time, and the benefits aren't easily apparent, but eventually the terror of the void lessens to a lullaby.
I will leave you with the words of Robert Greene and Law #4 of his 48 Laws of Power. Then you decide if you want to incorporate speech play into your game or cut out your tongue.
"When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control.
Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish."

Q: Is there a way to assign a stacked object to the allocated memory using placement new? Here is my program:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Object {
public:
    Object() { cout << "Object constructor!" << endl; }
    ~Object() { cout << "Object destructor!" << endl; }
    Object(const Object& obj) { information = obj.information; cout << "Copy constructor!" << endl; }
    void setInformation(const string info) { information = info; }
    string getInformation() const { return information; }
private:
    string information;
};

class Storage {
public:
    Storage() { object = static_cast<Object*>(operator new(sizeof(Object))); }
    ~Storage() { operator delete(object); }

    void setObject(const Object& obj) {
        // Todo: assign obj to the allocated space of the pointer object
    }
private:
    Object* object;
};

int main()
{
    Object o;
    o.setInformation("Engine");
    Storage storage;
    storage.setObject(o);
    return 0;
}

In Storage I am allocating space to store one object of type Object without creating it. I am using placement new for that which allocates a memory, and freeing it in the destructor. I know that I can use

object = new(object) Object()

to construct an object. But can I put in the memory an object that is already created? In my case call method setObject(). If yes what problems I can encounter with such memory management? Thanks in advance.

A: The simplest way to achieve the behavior you are trying to implement would be to use std::optional from C++17. It will allow you to "reserve" the memory for your Object without constructing it and without using the heap. It will also handle all the constructor and destructor calls.
This also can be done without std::optional, but you will essentially have to implement a similar solution yourself. In any case you will need an additional member to specify whether object constructed or not, so you can properly handle the destruction and assignment.
Then your setObject method will look something like this:
void setObject(const Object& obj) {
    if (constructed) {
        *object = obj;
    } else {
        new (object) Object(obj);
        constructed = true;
    }
}

To make use of move semantics you can modify your method like this:
void setObject(Object obj) {
    if (constructed) {
        *object = std::move(obj);
    } else {
        new (object) Object(std::move(obj));
        constructed = true;
    }
}

Note that now setObject accepts it parameter by-value so it can be used with both lvalue and rvalue references to construct the parameter which is then will be moved into the member.

A: Placement new is a pretty advanced construct, and the thought of having an Object* that actually points to uninitialized memory is rather terrifying. May I suggest you make your life easier?
class Storage {
    void setObject(const Object& obj) {
        if (object) {
            *object = obj;
        } else {
            object.reset(new Object(obj));
        }
    }
private:
    std::unique_ptr<Object> object;
};

This requires a copy constructor and assignment operator on the Object class, but is much more idiomatic C++. And in the Object implementation as shown, the default, compiler-provided implementations are already fine.

A: Just to clarify:

But can I put in the memory an object that is already created?

No, you cannot. There is no way how to move objects in memory in C++. For trivially copyable types, you can copy (e.g, by memcpy or memmove) their memory representations. But this actually does not move anything. Moreover, your Object class is not trivially copyable.
What you can move is the contents of objects, which is what move semantics is for.

Harvard boots Chelsea Manning after CIA leaders complained
by Carter Sherman
September 15, 2017, 9:30am
After two CIA leaders publicly rebuked Harvard's Kennedy School of Government for extending a visiting fellowship to Chelsea Manning, an ex-military analyst who leaked classified information and spent seven years in prison for her crime, the school announced Friday that it has rescinded Manning's title.
"I now think that designating Chelsea Manning as a Visiting Fellow was a mistake, for which I accept responsibility," Douglas Elmendorf, the school's dean, said in a statement. "We did not intend to honor her in any way or to endorse any of her words or deeds, as we do not honor or endorse any Fellow."
Harvard had announced Wednesday that Manning would be among its batch of visiting fellows at its Institute of Politics for the 2017-2018 school year, and Elmendorf said he still wants Manning to spend a few hours speaking with students at its Institute of Politics and taking questions. But she now won't receive the title of "visiting fellow" in exchange for doing so.
"I see more clearly now that many people view a Visiting Fellow title as an honorific, so we should weigh that consideration when offering invitations," Elmendorf said. "I apologize to [Manning] and to the many concerned people from whom I have heard today for not recognizing upfront the full implications of our original invitation."
READ: Trump's transgender ban will hurt the military, retired generals say
CIA director and Harvard grad Mike Pompeo withdrew from a Thursday appearance at the Kennedy School in protest of Manning's visiting fellowship, while former CIA acting head Michael Morell resigned that same day from his own fellowship at Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. Both stressed that Manning's gender identity — she is transgender — had nothing to do with their decision.
"While I have served my country as a soldier in the United States Army and will continue to defend Ms. Manning's right to offer a defense of why she chose this path," Pompeo wrote in a letter to Harvard, "I believe it is shameful for Harvard to place its stamp of approval upon her treasonous actions."
Manning, whose 35-year sentence for leaking more than 35,000 classified documents was commuted by President Barack Obama earlier this year, tweeted that she was "honored to be 1st disinvited trans woman visiting @harvard fellow."
Manning also retweeted an article, originally published this week by the Marshall Project, about Michelle Jones, an ex-felon who saw her admittance to Harvard's history Ph.D. program rescinded after two professors said they were worried Jones had minimized the murder that put her behind bars in her application.
MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, former press secretary Sean Spicer, and fired Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski will remain visiting fellows at the Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School for the 2017-2018 school year.

Q: How can I make my Angular requests be processed as format=JSON by Rails? Whenever I make an API request from my angular front end to my Rails back end, the API calls are interpreted as content-type: :html. However I want them to be interpreted as content-type: :json
Inspecting the incoming request the content_type is correctly set to be "application/json" however the request.format evaluates to being :html
17:23:27 web.1  | (rdb:1) request.content_type
17:23:27 web.1  | "application/json"
17:23:31 web.1  | (rdb:1) request.format
17:23:31 web.1  | #<Mime::Type:0x007fb523405d00 @synonyms=["application/xhtml+xml"], @symbol=:html, @string="text/html">

What am I doing wrong, should I be forcing the headers on the client-side or do I have the wrong end of one of these sticks?
Edit
I guess that Rails is using the file ending to determine the required format - is there any way to make it respect the headers instead?

A: Usually when you want to hook up an Angular application to a Rails project, it's best practice to create an api namespace for all of your angular resources. In your routes.rb file, you're going to want to do something like this:
# Set the default format to json
namespace :api, defaults: {format: :json} do
  # Edit and New routes are generally not required for RESTful JSON endpoints
  resources :my_json_resources, except: [:edit, :new]
  # Other resources
end

Then you can hit your routes without the json extension like so: /api/my_json_resources/:id. Setting the default on the route ensures that the endpoints will return JSON instead of HTML by default. Here's a cool tutorial (that might be a little outdated by now) that shows you how to integrate angular with rails 4. https://shellycloud.com/blog/2013/10/how-to-integrate-angularjs-with-rails-4
Also, note that the section where you set the CSRF headers is not recommended by the Angular documentation. For that please refer to this stack overflow post.
For Rails route namespace best practices, please refer to this documentation

A: As @mike pointed out it will ultimately make sense to setup a separate API namespace for the application in which things default to content-type: 'application/json'.
However that's a longer term shift for me and in the meantime, this is how I solved the problem.
Rails determines the format from the 'Accept' header
From this question, and this source code it's clear that Rails is using the Accept header to figure out the actual format.
You can set the accept header easily in Angular
It's easy enough to set the accept header in Angular
editorAppServices.factory('Magazine', ['$resource',
  function($resource){
    return $resource('magazines/:toParam', {toParam: '@to_param'}, {
      query: {
        method: 'GET', params:{}, isArray:true
      },
      save: {
        method: 'PUT', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' }
      }
    })
  }])

And that's all there is to it.


I had the pleasure of contributing to the 2015 edition of CLOG, a quarterly focusing on design which "explores, from multiple viewpoints and through a variety of means, a single subject particularly relevant to architecture now." The most recent edition, CLOG: Landmark, states "As our built environment evolves, we must continually decide what is worth keeping." My essay, entitled Living Dioramas, describes the ongoing rehabilitation efforts at Gettysburg National Military Park.
DAVID RUBIN Land Collective was awarded opportunity to design the park and plaza of the new Cummins DBU Headquarters in downtown Indianapolis, IN. Working with Deborah Berke Partners, RATIO Architects, and others, the site design creates a holistic experience between built architecture, landscape, and place. Throughout the site, unique opportunities to use and enjoy the landscape are present for the Company workers and the public alike. Key program includes circuitous paths through topographic planting experiences, small gathering spaces with flexible seating opportunities, as well as a large plaza with a custom-formed amphitheater.

The new modern library engages participants through multiple learning typologies at multiple scales. For an ever-adapting and improving city, innovation is necessary in moving forward and discovering things we did not know before. True innovation should not rely on the 'what' is necessary, such as developments in technology, but more importantly the 'who'; the individuals of a society utilizing the information to better themselves and share with others. This library promotes social innovation, the process of learning from each other through personal interaction and conversation. Rather then spaces prioritized for objects such as books and computers, the library becomes a collection of program, social learning environments.

Throughout history, Beijing's underground has been the location of solitude and separation from the world above; from providing protection from a nuclear threat in the past, to housing a second society of migrant workers today. A solution to bringing together the two classes in Beijing of public inhabitant and migrant lies in the threshold between the public surface and the latent underground. In bringing the two locations together, there is exploration in the potentials of development in the ground plane.

The EEOC's Indianapolis office filed this suit on November 29, 2004 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Chicago Division. The EEOC filed the suit on behalf of a female complainant who alleged defendant PJR Enterprises, Inc. sexually harassed her in violation of Title VII. After a status conference and defendant answer both in early January 2005, the parties reached an agreement in April 2005. A consent decree was entered April 12, 2005.
The consent degree conferred $6,000 to the complainant. The defendant agreed to appoint a compliance coordinator to ensure compliance with the consent decree and Title VII. The coordinator was also in charge of keeping records on complaints of sexual harassment and sending reports regarding all matters of the defendant's compliance. The defendant further agreed to conduct semi-annual training. The settlement term was 3 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2008.

I need a wakeboarding boat for an intermediate boarder.
I know the Mobius is a true board boat, but the OUTBACK has much greater value.Is the OUTBACK too much of a compromise for wakeboarding or could it be a decent boarding boat??
I've ridden behind an Outback and I own a Mobius. The Outback I boarded behind was loaded with ballast and wake behind it was awesome. I really don't think that you can go wrong with either of the boats. Skiing behind the outback was really nice as well.
I think probably the biggest decision to make concerning a new boat is whether to go with a direct drive vs. v-drive. If you decide to go with the Outback, Outback LS, or direct drive Mobius and you want to make it and awesome wakeboard boat, you will probably have to sacrifice on the number of people you can take with you. However if you decide on the v-drive there are alot more storage areas to keep ballast without having to sacrifice so much room.
