Lucas & Rogers has been involved in the brokerage of hundreds of commercial buildings and thousands of acres of land for development, investment and agricultural uses. Now in its 3 generation of family ownership, Lucas & Rogers has once again made a name for itself in the area of commercial brokerage Since 2003. Lucas & Rogers has been involved in over $250,000,000 dollars of commercial and development transactions; representing individuals, institutions, retailers, and corporate owners of real estate.
In several instances, Lucas & Rogers has been called into to replace either a builders in-house team or take over for a traditional outside sales people. On average, Lucas & Rogers has been able to increase traffic to the development, work with the builder to refine the buying process, and increase monthly sales velocity 20% while increasing the average home selling price over 30%.
Lucas & Rogers has an excellent track-record of selling the “last 10%” of several developments. By using highly specific marketing techniques and broker outreach programs that are meaningful to brokers, Lucas & Rogers on average significantly reduces the time on the market, while increasing the average sales price, and exceeding the builder’s net number.
For many reasons, builders wish to depart a given project. Lucas & Rogers has successfully conducted large scale “Dutch” and sealed-bid auctions for builders that no longer wanted to build out a given project. Hallmarks of a Lucas & Rogers “liquidation” are: multiple offers, timely performance, and sales prices significantly greater than seller’s expectations.

Dev owns testing, Dev owns quality, really?
However, not surprisingly, there are arguments on this. Some, particularly fulltime tester/QA believe dev doesn’t have mindset or required skill set to do good testing. On other hand, you can’t ask one to test their own codes. Human is very bad on verifying her own work. Asking dev to test her own codes is like asking a wolf to guard sheep. It just won’t work.
Why? Because dev’s role is to writing products codes to build the features, not assure its quality. Quality is tester’s responsibility, so I don’t need to care and I don’t want to care. My performance is measured against how many lines of codes I write (or how many new features I build).
if (t==0) t=0; // this is bug.
assume dev made a mistake, it actually want to write if (t==0) t=0.1; the bug will stay undetected, due to its dependency on values in database. if there is no zero in the test db, the bug probably slip to customers that has zero in their db.
Dev owns quality means better codes.
Dev owns quality means find bug easily.
Dev owns quality means find bug early, much earlier. We know the later you find a bug, the more expensive to fix.
Dev owns quality means reduce the hand off, more efficient and more fast.
Here,you might think this is TDD. Dev owns quality means use TDD. Well, not exactly. My experience with TDD is more in the ideally world. I don’t see any team yet use pure TDD. Most teams use what we called delay TDD. You still write code first, and then write test, then do the refactoring, in the end submit both code and test at the same time. This is more nature way to develop software and achieve the same goal of TDD, meanwhile it’s much easy to adopt vs pure TDD which is completely opposite of what you came along. furthermore, dev owns quality can be extended to owning functional testing, i.e not only making sure unit works by unit testing, but also make sure component works by functional testing.
What’s the cost of dev owning quality? “Slowing down?” Yes or no. the problem is that we only see the cost of doing unit tests, but not see the cost of not doing it. since dev need to writing a lot of testing which takes time. Of course, she will spend less time writing product codes, which eventually slow down building new features. However, if you see the whole application life cycle, developing feature is just one phase of it. There are maintenance, livesite, and application getting more and more complex. Some industry researches show that it actually shorten application life cycle, because without early testing, a lot of bugs are found at the late stage and even in the customer’s environment, this start to eat dev’s time and eventually slow down dev. in contrast, dev owns quality makes software component robust at the first place. It’s like building a highway v.s. bumpy road, initially car goes faster on bumpy road since it takes time to build highway. But once highway is ready, the car goes much faster than running on bumpy road. This actually leads to another question that is there any situation that unit testing doesnot doing any good? yes, there is. again, take the high way as an example, if you go that road only once or twice, you probably don't want to build a highway. however, if you have to go on the road again and again for the next 5, 10 years, i think you better start to build highway.
By far, I hope you are with me that dev owns quality is a good thing. But what if dev agree but still don’t do it? Many students told me that “we all know /agree this in theory, but dev just don’t do it for whatever reasons, how can I change it?” Here I’m going to share with you a few tips you can try.
First off, there is no silver bullet for it. Dev born to be writing product code, they don’t like testing in nature. It is a hard and long effort to make the change. So you got be prepared (hopefully you are not discouraged). On other hand, challenge goes with opportunity. Based on my experience, the change from the state that dev refuse to testing to the state that dev love testing, are not one step task, it usually take a few phases.
1. awareness. Your first task to convince dev that dev owning quality is good thing or industry trend. If they agree, you are half way to success. if they don't agree, any effort you try to push is useless. so, you got to get them on board first. no exception.
2. make unit test as part of code complete criteria. Once dev agree it’s good thing to unit testing their own codes, you can start to make rules on it. For example, we must have unit tests for every API before we declare code complete. Here is tricky part, at the end of the first iteration, very likely you still don’t see any unit test. That’s ok, make an exception, but the key thing is let the team knows we are make an EXCEPTION this time. I bet at the beginning of second iteration, dev will start to consider unit test into their overall work. Hopefully at the end of 2nd interation, you will see a little unit test. Again, it's not good progress but it’s good sign. Just be patient. Make another EXCEPTION and let the team knows. So on and so forth, after a few iterations, you will suprisely see there are a lot unit test in place.
You also can try peer pressure or indirect push tips to make the unit test coverage transparent, so the team knows who write unit test, who doesn’t.
Reward those devs or teams having better unit tests. measure dev's performance based quality of codes, not number of lines of codes. build a culture that team take pride of their unit testing results.
Working with dev to improve unit test framework and make unit test as easy as possible. Image you are devs, you take 1 minute to write one line of product code, and takes 2minutes to write its unit tests, now takes 30 minutes to run unit tests. You won’t do it either, right? So the most efficient way to push dev to do unit test is to make it as easy as possible.

"Bullying today is less about children hitting each other than it is about children being victimized by a culture of meanness. Children understand what many adults seem to have forgotten: You don't have to get hit to get hurt."
What if you and this child have been brought together to have an opportunity for mutual growth? What if each of you has been given the same assignment: to learn to love each other?
that reasoning with them won't aggravate.
Arthur Connor reluctantly called his two children, Michelle and Andrew, into the family room. He was about to embark on his least favorite activity of the week, one he had not been looking forward to, yet one he knew was important and necessary.
Vanessa, his wife, sat across the room with tears in her eyes as the children entered.
"Why are you crying, Mom?" asked Michelle.
"That is what we wanted to talk to you about," their father responded. His tone was a clear signal to the children that this was not going to be a typical family meeting.
Both children quickly sat down next to their mom. Somber and quizzical looks fell upon their faces. Arthur took a deep breath and continued, "It's our dog, Tiffany. She has been very sick the past several days and we think her body is shutting down."
"Is she going to die?" Andrew interrupted.
"Yes," replied Arthur, softly and honestly, "but we're not sure when." Tears formed instantly in both children's eyes and they immediately sought refuge in the warm and loving arms of their mother.
As his wife and two children snuggled together, Arthur continued. "Tiffany has been a part of our family for a long time. She was with your mom and me before either of you were born. Tiffany has been a loving part of our lives for over fourteen years. So to honor her life with us and celebrate her contributions to our family we want to spend time together tonight saying goodbye to Tiffany."
The family gathered around Tiffany, who was on her soft bedding in the corner of the room. For two hours the family members told stories, took pictures, laughed, and cried. They held, snuggled, and brushed their golden retriever companion. Each person had a chance to say goodbye and gain closure to this significant part of their lives in their own way. One shared a story about Tiffany's first day as a member of the family. Another simply patted her head and rubbed her ears softly as more stories were told.
The evening ended with a group picture, a family hug around the beloved pet, and a salute to Tiffany's gift of life that she shared with this family.
The following day Tiffany died as Arthur had anticipated. A burial ceremony took place in the family's backyard. More crying occurred as another round of saying goodbye ensued. The ritual ended with the four family members gathered in a circle around the burial spot thanking Tiffany for all she had given.
What the Connor family experienced is not unique to them. Many families, if they haven't already, will at one point or another have to say goodbye to a family pet. How the Conners handled this important experience with their children gives helpful clues as to how to effectively approach this delicate situation. More ideas follow. You may find them useful when faced with a similar situation.
1. Don't attempt to hide the death or pending death of a pet. Instead, embrace the moment with honesty, gentleness, and love.
2. Answer questions at an age-appropriate level. Help the younger children begin to grasp a different understanding of death by talking about it in a more concrete, physical way. For example, talk about how death happens when the heart muscle gets tired and stops working or how the body wears out, slows down, and can?t go on anymore.
3. Honor how each person is feeling. Let it be okay to cry, laugh, and then cry some more. Sadness and laughter can happen at the same time. One can remember a fun moment together while being sad at the loss. Sometimes, for children, the laughter is nervous anxiety coming out. It is not necessarily a sign of disrespect. Children might get angry or mad at God for taking their pet. Do not attempt to talk children out of their feelings. Just be there and hear and acknowledge the feelings. Whatever feelings are there, allow them to flow.
4. Be willing to show your emotions. This is not a time to tough it out. Model for your child how a mature person expresses anger, sadness, and frustration with loss. Let them see that big boys and big girls do indeed cry. Help your children see that it is okay to be sad.
5. People mourn and are sad in different ways. As with the Connor family, some may want to talk about the loved one, while others want to sit quietly. It is important to let everyone feel the sadness in their own way.
6. Be together through the sadness. The pet was a family pet and the family can support one another in their shared sadness. If one family member wants some alone time, there will be plenty of opportunity for that later. It is important that you say goodbye together as a family.
7. Share memories. If it?s a small lizard, remember the times you purchased crickets for its meals. Talk about the big-eyed goldfish and cleaning its tank for the first time. Share a memory of how the family cat would pounce on your feet at night. Reminisce, talk about what you will miss, what you won?t miss, humorous incidents, and frustrations. Talk, share, and remember.
8. Celebrate and concentrate on what the pet gave to the family, not on what the family is losing. This is a time to remember what the family pet brought to you. It could be companionship on morning walks, a wagging tail that always greeted you at the door, the familiar whine to wake you in the morning, someone to take care of, someone who seemed to take care of you. The family pet was there for you as much as you were there for it. Remember and honor that contribution at this important time.
9. Create a ceremony to say goodbye and gain closure. The ceremony can be based on your religious upbringing, a spiritual principle that the family embraces, or a procedure to dispose of or bury the body. The key is to mark the moment as an important point in time where you gave your respect and honor to a beloved member of the family.
10. Realize that some family members may continue to cry and be sad for several days. Don?t attempt to move someone quickly through the mourning process. It is a different experience for each person and takes a different amount of time for each as well. Your children may move in and out of sadness and grieving. Be encouraging and uplifting as they struggle with understanding the concept of death.
11. Do not immediately replace the deceased pet. Some well-intentioned parents provide a new puppy or kitty to help the children feel better. This cheats children by not letting them complete the grieving process and teaches them that if anything ever happens to them they will be easily and quickly replaced. A new family pet can come later, when everyone has closure on the previous experience and is ready for a new one.
Perhaps the Connor family story strikes a familiar chord in your heart. We all know that death is not the easiest topic to address with our children. Yet we realize that one day we will probably face this issue. It is our hope that the ideas shared above will in some way help you and your children as you say goodbye to your family pet.

Paths to College Conference: In partnership with the UCI chapter of CCM (Chicanos/Latinos for Community Medicine), we will be putting on a conference aimed at high schoolers and their parents from Santa Ana, CA, a majority-Latino, medically-underserved community close to our campus. The conference will be held on the UCI campus, and LMSA will charter buses to bring the students and their parents between Santa Ana and Irvine. We are collaborating with CCM as well as UCI undergrads from outside the biological sciences, and will present workshops on a variety of topics related to college preparation, financial aid, what to expect in college etc in both English and Spanish. We will provide breakfast and lunch, and will promote the event at Santa Ana high schools, community centers and churches. The event will be in April, and we are so excited!
UCI LMSA Mentorship Program: Undergraduate, post-bacc, and previous graduates were paired with UCI medical student mentors. We do an event a month for the program, including a Meet and Greet, an AMCAS Application Walk-Through Night, an UltrAnatomy Day, Taco Tuesdays, and a Post-Bacc Program Information Session. The mentees are also offered discounted admission to our Pre-Health Conference in November. This year, we have joined UCI SNMA to collectively start the Guiding Hand Project, our new mentorship program that targets underrepresented minority students in the Orange County region.
UltrAnatomy Day: For this event, we brought the LMSA Mentorship Program Mentees along with undergrads from a variety of other UCI campus organizations targeting first-generation college students and students from diverse backgrounds for a day in the life of a medical student one Saturday in April. The students rotated through a series of ~6 stations in our Anatomy Lab where medical students presented mini-lessons on different Anatomy topics, ~3 hands-on Ultrasound stations, lunch, and a Medical Student Q&A Panel.
AMCAS Application Walk-Through Night: Designed for soon-to-be applicants to medical school, we invited undergrads to a night where we presented a PowerPoint including screenshots of basically every page of a fake AMCAS application we made, answered questions, and connected applicants with medical students to review their application materials.

I was booked 3 rooms. The room is dirty and malfunctional utilities. So I have to return all rooms that night and cannot get my money back. Staff couldn’t making decisions nor responsible anything, even i just asked for the maneger / owner mobile number. Bad experienced ever!
a very nice and comfortable hotel, even though it is in the city center but not noisy, the rooms are clean and tidy, the service staff is very friendly (wayan) he is very petrified I show good destinations in ubud, and a very nice breakfast.
The hotel is located very close to the main street in Ubud and the garden is nice enough. But the bathrooms are disgusting (see pictures) and the staff are rude. When delivering my breakfast in the morning, I asked the guy if I could have it in my room. Instead of brining it in, he walked past my door, over to the outside table, put the tray down and said 'Do it yourself yeah?' During the day time there are men hanging out around the pool laughing and joking, so any sense of privacy or peace is ruined. The bathrooms look like they forgot to buy tiles and just left tile adhesive on the walls and there is a dark fungus growing in the ceiling from the room above.

Opening a Business in Bandung: Starter Pack for Investors Review by tenissa.tjahjono on 5. 12. 2018 Company Registration in Indonesia, Market Research in Indonesia, Work Permit in Indonesia, Product Registration in Indonesia, Local Partner Selection in Indonesia, Trade Mission in Indonesia, Company Formation in Indonesia, Company Establishment in Indonesia, Company Set Up in Indonesia, Payroll Outsourcing in Indonesia, Tax Reporting in Indonesia, Medical Product Registration in Indonesia, Medical Device Registration in Indonesia, Cosmetic Registration in Indonesia, Food Supplement Registration in Indonesia.
Bandung is a fast-developing city in Indonesia. It is the 3rd largest city and the capital of West Java province in Indonesia with over 2.5 million inhabitants. As a result, it is self-explanatory that many foreigners open a business in Bandung.
This article summarises useful information you need before you start a company in Bandung, including the benefits, processes and how you can get a headstart with the services provided by Cekindo.
The law in Bandung, or Indonesia as a whole, stipulates that a foreign investor opening a business in Bandung should choose a foreign-owned company. However, foreign entrepreneurs can incorporate a local-owned company with the support of an Indonesian entityas well.
In addition, foreign investors can decide to set up a representative office in the early stage of entering the market in Bandung, mainly for market research or as an agent. As the business expands, they should establish a limited liability company as a representative office shall not generate income in Indonesia.
Bandung has become one of the smart cities in Indonesia, and its technological progress will be obvious in every aspect of your business. Government institutions in Bandung use social media to inform citizens about upcoming events, important changes as well as other technologies to improve their services.
Bandung has been focusing on developing its infrastructure to attract both investors and tourists. The new Bandung Kertajati International Airport opened earlier this year, and construction of a Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Rail will start soon.
Also, similarly to Semarang, Bandung offers more affordable and low-cost solutions for entrepreneurs. While the location of the city is not far from Jakarta, the cost savings in Bandung are enormous.
When foreigners first start their business in Bandung, they definitely have lots of items that need to be crossed off on their business checklist.
If you are not familiar with all the rules and regulations, market trends and other business requirements in Bandung, Cekindo provides all sorts of services to help you speed up your business formation.
Bandung has been known to many for its historical monuments and abundant natural resources. Even though what used to be called “the Paris of Java” developed into a metropolitan city, there are still many characteristics unique to Bandung.
To open a successful business in Bandung, now known as a Smart City, it is crucial that you know who your clients are, what they need and want, and how to reach your target audience. Understanding your competition, threats and opportunities is an essential first step before starting a business.
Through market research by Cekindo, we can help you obtain precise and accurate customer and market information.
There are a lot of issues to be considered and paperwork to be done to form a company. As officers in Bandung are still not so familiar with foreign investments, the process of starting a foreign-owned company might get delayed due to overwhelming bureaucracy.
We help our clients to open companies quickly and accurately.
In Bandung, there are in total 17 universities with thousands of graduates every year. While a majority of universities are technology-oriented (with Bandung Institute of Technology being the most prominent one), non-technological faculties are not left behind.
Even though the city is full of your potential employees, your business’s recruitment ability plays a vital role in the success of their hiring. With the ready talent pool and the effective talk acquisition strategies from Cekindo, you will be able to get talents that fit your business job functions.
One of the ways to rise above your competitors in business is to have the time and resources to focus on your core business activities. So why not outsource the time-consuming accounting and payroll and have your full attention on revenue generating and value-added tasks?
Even though this starter pack includes the most essential information to know when starting a business in Bandung, there is much more to be aware of. Contact us today, and we will ensure smooth and hassle-free company registration in Bandung and all the related services.

What weeds should you be scouting for in your state? The Farm Journal Pulse provides some insight.
"A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows."
This quote rings true for many farmers who have had to fight some vicious weeds in the past few years.
Weed pressure has started evolving, even expanding. Some weeds are prevalent in only certain areas of the country, while others seem to be everywhere.
More than 1,500 farmers and ranchers shared their primary tractor brand in last week’s Farm Journal Pulse. The question was: What is your most significant weed problem?
Waterhemp tops the list with 30% of respondents saying it was a problem. Marestail/horseweed was a close second with 22% of the votes. Ragweed was also picked out as a major weed, with 16% of the votes.
By partnering with Commodity Update, the leading provider of agricultural information to mobile phones, Farm Journal sends you the question via a text message on the first and third Wednesday of each month.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Blessing travels in the direction of the obedient.
Previously, we saw the power of the Blessing and its impact in the life of the blessed. It is also important to understand how you can activate the power of the Blessing so as to experience the practicality of the Blessing.
Now, the first key that activates the Blessing is, Obedience to God and righteousness.
So, obeying the Voice of the Lord is a trigger for the Blessing. The Blessing travels in the direction of the obedient. Abraham obeyed God and he was blessed. Obeying blessing-provoking instructions from the Scripture and prophetic instructions from the prophet God has placed over you, is a doorway to the blessing.
Also, according to our anchor Scripture, the Bible says, For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. So, the righteous are positioned for the Blessing. Righteousness attracts the Blessing but crookedness and wickedness kill the Blessing. Righteousness involves living a God-pleasing life; a life devoid of sin.
Beloved, as you obey God and work in the path of righteousness, you will experience God’s Blessing, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: The Blessing travels in the direction of the obedient.
1. Study the Bible consistently and continually; locate Blessing-provoking instructions and follow them tenaciously.
2. Avoid the way of crookedness and iniquity.
3. Get and listen to the message titled The Tragedy of Evil Money by Dr Paul Enenche.
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE POWER OF THE BLESSING.
PRAYER: Lord, I make demands on the grace to walk in righteousness. Cause Your Blessing to rest on me and my family, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
QUOTE: When you begin to enjoy sin, God turns His eyes away from you. Culled from 15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL by Dr Paul Enenche.
AMAZING FACT: Birds can recognise landmarks, which they use to help them navigate.

James Verner Miles Junior was born (28 Feb 1921) and grew up in Ellendale, North Dakota. Doc & Pearl Miles were his parents. Mylah Lorraine Sands was born (31 Mar 1922) and grew up in Alvarado, Minnesota. Her parents were Henry & Julia Sands.
Jim & Mylah both attended the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks from 1939-1943. They met during their freshman year when the President of the Freshman Class, Jim Miles, presented the Most Representative Freshman Girl Award to Mylah Sands.
While they didn’t officially start dating until the end of their senior year, Mylah’s sister (Grace) recalls that Mylah was interested in Jim during all four years at UND…but one of the things that kept them apart was Jim’s roommate (and good friend) liking Mylah a lot. Then, at the end of their senior year at a big UND graduation party, Jim & Mylah danced together — and that moment changed the course of their lives. Several days after the dance Mylah left on a scheduled trip to California. Jim sent a letter there to tell her he was in love. A few weeks later, in the spring of 1943 after Mylah had returned to North Dakota, Jim proposed to Mylah in Riverside Park in Grand Forks.
Jim & Mylah were married on 21 Sep 1944 in Alvarado in the Sands’ home, followed by a quick honeymoon in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The above image was recorded by Mylah’s sister (Earliss) and it shows the new husband & wife seconds after they were married…and it’s the first time this moment has been shown as a photo. Mylah’s brother (Bill) said it was a beautiful day.
Dad told me that one of the bonuses of marrying Mom was how much he loved her family. Dad was an only child, but he felt like Mom’s sisters and brother were his siblings, too.
Mom & Dad had five grandchildren during their lifetimes. Jay, Tom, and Sam are Jimmy’s three sons, and Julie had Eric and Katie. Mom & Dad loved their grandkids a lot. Sam told me he admired them for always putting “family first.” Mom passed away at 11:40p CT on 29 May 1994 in Fargo. Dad died at 10:15p CT on 7 Jan 1998 in Fargo. Grandchild #6 was born in 2006…Scotty became a Dad when Reagan James Miles arrived.
While I would give almost anything to see Reagan James with James & Mylah, even for just a moment, I’m very thankful I had Mom & Dad around for as long as I did. When I was born Dad was 46, and Mom turned 45 the same month she had me. Growing up with parents who could also be your grandparents definitely made me more appreciative of my time with them. They were essentially both gone by my late 20s, Mom for real and Dad because of his dementia, but I can’t believe how fortunate I was to have them as my parents.
During their 18,148 days of marriage, Mom & Dad were best friends and an amazing team, and they had a lot of respect for each other.
Mom took care of the house, including all the finances. She was very good with money and I learned a lot from her, especially about being frugal. Mom taught me that keeping up with the Joneses was a silly waste of energy, and just because you could afford something didn’t mean you should buy it. She clipped lots of coupons, too. Giving was an area where Mom’s frugality would disappear. Jim & Mylah were very charitable, particularly at church, and most of their financial gifts were made in private (I know about them only because Mom would sometimes show me the outgoing checks to teach me about giving). A key to their financial success was the premise that it wasn’t his money or her money, it was their money.
All four of Jim & Mylah’s children got the huge benefit of having Mom stay at home. It was so nice to know Mom would always be there for us. She had the perfect balance of nurturing her children while encouraging them to do their best. Mom was an active volunteer in the community, especially at church where she was a Deacon (and Dad was an Elder). She also sang in the church choir for many years. Mom had a beautiful voice. Listening to Mom sing and play the piano at home was always very comforting. She also had a GREAT laugh and smile. Sometimes she’d be laughing so hard, in her quietly intense way, that she could barely breathe.
When Johnnny & I were exploring our Milesness together (which would usually include us having one or more of our laughing attacks), it would commonly result in Mom saying, “Oh-oh-oh-ohhh, boys, wait now!” The number of oh’s was often directly related to how much trouble we were causing. I loved it when she said that line. Part of my Milesness came from Johnnny, starting with my name. Mom & Dad gave their 11-year-old 2nd son complete control to name their just-born 3rd son. Johnnny thinks they did that because he had been asking for a younger brother for two years before Mom got pregnant with me.
In 1972 Mom & Dad built their dream home on two lots at 2404 East Country Club Drive in Fargo, North Dakota. The four special things they wanted in the house (den, ping pong room, pool room, laundry room) all ended up in the basement, so they had to design the rest of the house over that big and fun basement. The resulting four-bedroom, four-bathroom home with a four-car garage was a classic. It was tan with brown trim, and there was a lot of green inside…Mom’s favorite colors were green first, and brown second. Every vehicle they owned while living at 2404 was either green or brown/tan, too. (Fun bonus fact: Mom almost always wrote with a green Flair pen.) Mom & Dad captured many happy moments and memories in their more than 20 years at 2404.
Jim & Mylah were superb hosts. For many years they hosted an annual Christmas party at 2404, which quickly grew into two Christmas parties. Mom & Dad would have one wave of 50 guests over for a couple hours, followed by a second wave of 50 guests. But no matter what time of year it was, whenever a friend would stop by, Mom and/or Dad would always take time to visit and offer them something to drink and eat.
Mom was an awesome cook. Some of my favorite things she’d make were: homemade cinnamon rolls (especially the center one), molasses sugar cookies, Norwegian potato sausage, beef stew with carrots and potatoes, French toast with powdered sugar, pancakes with sausage, mussed eggs with bacon, grilled cheese, cream dried beef on toast, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, chicken and vegetable stir fry, spaghetti with meat sauce (without any chunks of tomato), ham and scalloped potatoes, fresh green beans in a white sauce, salmon on crackers, lemon cake, pheasant with orange sherbet, goose, duck, orange roughy, Thanksgiving turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, warm butterhorn rolls, flatbread, Christmas burgundy meatballs and Christmas spritz cookies…all of a sudden I’m very hungry. Dad would often say “ambrosia” while enjoying Mom’s cooking.
Almost every weeknight when I was young I’d watch Dad come thru the door after being at the clinic all day. Mom would take a break from cooking dinner and they’d hug and kiss and say “I love you” to each other. The next thing that routinely happened — after a few minutes had passed — would be Dad asking Mom, “Is this a good time for a snort?” The answer would usually be yes, and he’d make himself one bourbon and seven (and she might have one gin and tonic with him). We’d visit and play some ping pong and then a great dinner would follow.
It was a wonderful way to grow up. Mom & Dad set quite an example of just how loving and happy a marriage can be…I really miss them.

Today I found an interesting site which plays your website!!
The codeorgan analyzes the body content of any website / webpage and translate that in to music.
It uses complex algorithm helps it in defining key, synth style and drum patterns as per page content.
– It scans page contents, removes all characters not in musical scale (A to G) and then uses remaining to find most commenly used “note”.
– It also defines synthesizer to use based on number of charcter on webpage.

Fields, waysides, weedy waste-ground. Likes loamy soil rich in nutrients.
Common in many arable places throughout Malta and Gozo. Examples include waysides and lanes in Mistra, arable areas in Qormi, Siggiewi, Ghajn Tuffieha, Marsascala, Zabbar etc.
This is probably one of the most popular wild flowers in Europe, both for its beauty, and its WorldWar I memorial. The plant is an annual herb which readily germinates from seeds. The branching stems have fine white or purple-red hair all along, especially at the flowering part. The flower stems are quite slender, and holds the solitary and terminal flowers. The bud is hanged upside down and then assumes a normal position just before blossoming. The stems have a white milky sap.
Most of the leaves are more or less found at the middle or lower part of the stem, leaving the flowers more conspicuous. They are stalked, oppositely arranged on the stems, and are so deeply pinnately divided, that each pinna (leaf lobe) is independent. They also have a coarsely serrated outline. The leaf pinnae and serrated outline varies from plant to plant.
The flower consists of 2 hairy sepals and 4 bright red to red-crimson petals, often having a dark blob at the base. The blob also varies from plant to plant and some may even lack it. The petals are fragile (detaches easily from the flower) and their size vary considerably, but can form flowers of about 50mm in diameter. At the center there is a globular or pot-shaped gynoecium that is pale green in colour and has radiating darker stripes at the top. The stigma are found upon these stripes. Encircling the base of the gynoecium is a cluster of many black stamens with anthers that may be covered with pale yellow or grey pollen.
The fruit is a seed capsule which is pale green and turns yellowish or light brown when the seeds matures. The glabrous seed-capsule is pot-shaped with a flattened top (lid) that has a slightly serrated circumference. The dehiscent poricidal capsule is operculate (possess a lid structure). It does not split open, but instead, the tiny (1mm), brown, kidney shaped seeds escape from pores at the lid part of the capsule when wind causes it to sway.
Prefers a well-drained sandy loam in a sunny position [1, 200]. Does not do well on wet clay soils but succeeds in most other soils . Plants usualy self-sow freely when growing in suitable conditions so long as the soil surface is disturbed . There are several named varieties selected for their ornamental value . A polymorphic species, varying in leaf shape and flower colour . When growing in cereal fields, poppies decrease the yields of nearby cereal plants [18, 20]. Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer or rabbits .
The plant has the following medicinal properties: [4, 7, 9, 13, 46, 53].
The flowers of corn poppy have a long history of medicinal usage, especially for ailments in the elderly and children [244, 254]. Chiefly employed as a mild pain reliever and as a treatment for irritable coughs, it also helps to reduce nervous over-activity . Unlike the related opium poppy (P. somniferum) it is non-addictive . However, the plant does contain alkaloids, which are still under investigation, and so should only be used under the supervision of a qualified herbalist .
The flowers and petals are anodyne, emollient, emmenagogue, expectorant, hypnotic, slightly narcotic and sedative [4, 7, 9, 13, 46, 53]. An infusion is taken internally in the treatment of bronchial complaints and coughs, insomnia, poor digestion, nervous digestive disorders and minor painful conditions [9, 238]. The flowers are also used in the treatment of jaundice . The petals are harvested as the flowers open and are dried for later use . They should be collected on a dry day and can be dried or made into a syrup .
The latex in the seed-pods is narcotic and slightly sedative . It can be used in very small quantities, and under expert supervision, as a sleep-inducing drug .
The leaves and seeds are tonic . They are useful in the treatment of low fevers .
The plant has anticancer properties .
Leaves - raw or cooked [7, 52]. Used like spinach or as a flavouring in soups and salads [132, 183]. The leaves should not be used after the flower buds have formed . Some caution is advised, see the notes above on toxicity.
Flower - A syrup can be prepared from the scarlet flower petals, it is used in soups, gruels etc. [4, 183]. In the past it was also used as a substitute for tea. A red dye from the petals is used as a food flavouring, especially in wine .
A red dye is obtained from the flowers [7, 46, 61], though it is very fugitive . A syrup made from the petals has been used as a colouring matter for old inks [4, 13, 89]. The red petals are used to add colour to pot-pourri .
Flour made from corn that is badly cleaned from poppy (esp if high content of poppy seeds is present) will have a yellowish colour and deteriorates quickly.
The most common are (1) and (4) from the above list. There is a tendency that the flowers with blobs are on average larger and contains numerous and more pronounced stamens from those without blobs. [SM].
Another variations is the colour of the stalk and bud bristles. In some species the bristles are just white, while in others they are purple-red [SM].

Photo of another specimen which does not have any blobs. Such specimens seem to have less conspicuous stamens and a smaller ovary.
Photo of a peculiar specimen with flowers having 6 petals instead of 4. One can observe this from the 6 basal black blobs each corresponding to one petal.
Flower which interestingly have only two small blobs instead of four (two petals lack this blob).
When the petals are firm and erect, the flower assumes a cup-shaped structure.

It all began with a box gone astray.
The shipment hailed from Blue Apron, one of the meal kit purveyors emerging in recent years to harness millennials’ inclination for good food and online commerce to their disinclination to shop for and make nightly dinners from scratch.
In her Washoe Valley home last year, Christie Casey-Braun opened the box on auto-pilot, thinking it was a giveaway or promotion or sample, not noticing the box should have been delivered to her neighbor.
She prepared the contents — fish cakes, a mushroom stir-fry — liking the convenience but worrying about packaging waste and how far ingredients had been shipped.
The add-on products for Our Local Basket meal delivery subscriptions include local Alpine Ranch sauces.
And so, in June 2017, Casey-Braun and her husband, Dustin Braun, founded Our Local Basket, a meal kit service featuring local and regional ingredients. Boxes are delivered once a week and feature two meals that yield up to six servings.
Christie Casey-Braun of Our Local Basket checks on a local produce basket the company offers by weekly subscription. The produce is certified organic.
It made sense that Casey-Braun and her husband would start a meal kit business showcasing local ingredients.
The couple, longtime local food advocates, owns Land of Hopes Farm in Washoe Valley, known for humanely raised Berkshire pigs.
Casey-Braun’s family owns Alpine Ranch, known for antibiotic-free, hormone-free, grass-fed beef reared on several hundred thousand acres in Churchill County. Both Land of Hopes and Alpine Ranch contribute meat to Our Local Basket.
The couple also sources from producers like Liberty Food & Wine Exchange for housemade bread and pasta, Lattin Farms and Dayton Valley Aquaponics for certified organic produce, and Sand Hill Dairy of Fallon for milk and for mozzarella and Oaxaca cheese.
“Even thermal inserts for our boxes, we order those from a Reno company,” Casey-Braun said.
Our Local Basket offers weekly meal kit subscriptions. The recipes take 40 minutes or less to prepare.
On Our Local Basket’s website, folks can subscribe to weekly meal boxes (including vegetarian or gluten-free) or to produce baskets.
A pork and beef bundle from Alpine Ranch — bratwurst, Berkshire pork, grass-fed ground beef, country sausage spiked only with spices and salt — has just been introduced (“It will hold you for two weeks,” Casey Braun said).
Folks can add to their subscriptions products like local honey, Alpine Ranch sauces or local organic eggs from Rebel Pioneer Farm. People also can place one-time orders on the site.
Sand Hill Dairy of Fallon ranks among the local farmers from which Our Local Basket sources.
Orders are assembled at Liberty Food & Wine Exchange, under its license. Chef Mark Estee of Liberty provides recipes that accompany orders and take 40 minutes or less. Think vegetarian pasta, pork ragù with greens or pasta Bolognese.
“These are recipes developed for his restaurants, but he puts them in everyday terms,” Casey-Braun said.
Deliveries are made Wednesdays before 5:30 p.m. in Washoe County, Carson City and Carson Valley. Customers leave out packaging from the previous week’s order; it’s collected, sterilized and reused.
Our Local Basket offers organic bread from Liberty Food & Wine Exchange and organic eggs from Rebel Pioneer Farm.
In the past year, Our Local Basket has grown to more than 100 subscribers (plus customers who order less frequently). Growth has been mostly smooth, Casey-Braun said.
The biggest challenge — as it is for everyone working in local food hereabouts — is Northern Nevada’s climate and growing season, especially when it comes to produce.
And in future, Our Local Basket wants to do even more than its current meal kits, produce, dairy and other products.

Two new papers just published in the British Journal of Nutrition are meta-analyses of existing studies that compare conventional vs organic milk, and conventional vs organic red meat. Both studies found clear differences between organic meat and milk compared to conventional milk and meat, with the organic milk and meat best health-wise, especially due to differences in fatty acids. The researchers stated: "organic bovine (cow) milk has a more desirable fatty acid composition than conventional milk". Some of the differences may be due to organic milk and beef coming from cattle that graze on grass (organic farming standards require grazing/forage-based diets) , while most conventional milk and beef come from cows subsisting on grain. Beneficial omega-3 is much more prevalent in grass than in grain, which is why organic livestock and milk also contain higher levels, while omega-6 levels were lower in organic meat and dairy.
In the largest study of its kind, an international team of experts led by Newcastle University, UK, has shown that both organic milk and meat contain around 50% more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products. Analyzing data from around the world, the team reviewed 196 papers on milk and 67 papers on meat and found clear differences between organic and conventional milk and meat, especially in terms of fatty acid composition, and the concentrations of certain essential minerals and antioxidants.
Publishing their findings today in the British Journal of Nutrition, the team say the data show a switch to organic meat and milk would go some way towards increasing our intake of nutritionally important fatty acids.Chris Seal, Professor of Food and Human Nutrition at Newcastle University explains: "Omega-3s are linked to reductions in cardiovascular disease, improved neurological development and function, and better immune function.
The systematic literature reviews analysed data from around the world and found that organic milk and meat have more desirable fat profiles than conventional milk and meat. Most importantly, a switch from conventional to organic would raise omega-3 fat intake without increasing calories and undesirable saturated fat....Other positive changes in fat profiles included lower levels of myristic and palmitic acid in organic meat and a lower omega-3/omega-6 ratio in organic milk. Higher levels of fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin E and carotenoids and 40% more CLA in organic milk were also observed. The study showed that the more desirable fat profiles in organic milk were closely linked to outdoor grazing and low concentrate feeding in dairy diets, as prescribed by organic farming standards.
"Several of these differences stem from organic livestock production and are brought about by differences in production intensity, with outdoor-reared, grass-fed animals producing milk and meat that is consistently higher in desirable fatty acids such as the omega-3s, and lower in fatty acids that can promote heart disease and other chronic diseases." The study also found 74% more iodine in conventional milk....Iodine fortification of cattle feeds is also widely used to increase iodine concentrations in both organic and conventional milk.
The work builds on a previous study by the team - involving experts from the UK, US, France, Italy, Switzerland, Norway and Poland - investigating the composition of organic and conventionally-grown crops. This previous study - also published in the British Journal of Nutrition - showed that organic crops and crop-based foods are up to 60% higher in a number of key antioxidants than conventionally-grown crops and contained less of the toxic metal cadmium.

The Althingi is the oldest existing parliamentary institution in the world. Its establishment, as an outdoor assembly or thing held on the plains of Þingvellir (“Thing Fields”) from about the year 930 AD, laid the foundation for an independent national existence in Iceland. To begin with, the Althing was a general assembly of the Icelandic Commonwealth, where the country’s most powerful Leaders (goðar) met to decide on legislation and dispense justice.

Then, all free men could attend the assemblies, which were usually the main social event of the year and drew large crowds of farmers and their families, parties involved in legal disputes, traders, craftsmen, storytellers and travelers. Those attending the assembly dwelt in temporary camps (búðir) during the session. The Centre of the gathering was the Lögberg, or Law Rock, a rocky outcrop on which the Law speaker (lögsögumaður) took his seat as the presiding official of the assembly. His responsibilities included reciting aloud the laws in effect at the time. It was his duty to proclaim the procedural law of Althing to those attending the assembly each year.
Althingi, as a symbolic way of gathering after travelling, has been done in Iceland for centuries. On Saturday 29th of July all the participants will gather at the Úlfljótsvatn Outdoor and Scout Center where they will spend the second half of the World Scout Moot together in a gathering similar in nature as Althingi. The program at Althingi will include outdoor activities, workshops, roundtable discussions, challenges, campfires, diverse cultural activities and basically having a great time together while sharing each others experiences and knowledge.
The Bull, the Eagle, the Giant and the Dragon are the four protectors of Iceland.
The program during Althingi is organized into four program villages where the four Land Wights from the Icelandic Coat of Arms are the inspiration and protectors. All of the villages will work with the theme of change – or with activities that explore what makes us who we are, what impacts change in us and how we can impact change in our surroundings.
Yggdrasill Village Yggdrasill is the name of the giant World Tree that connects the Nine Worlds of ancient Norse cosmology, and thus symbolizes change through dialogue and respect, knowledge and understanding, as well as trust and respect. The name and symbol of Yggdrasill was chosen for this program village because in the same way as the branches and roots of a tree link everything together, Scouts all over the world are connected by The Scout Promise and Law. In the Yggdrasill Village, participants learn mindfulness and how to live in and enjoy the here and now, with all the unexpected and wonderful experiences life has to offer. Every participant will have time for inner reflection as well as quiet time alone or among friends. Duty to God is a central part of the Scout promise, and the focus of the Yggdrasill Village is on exploring and learning to understand and respect different faiths and beliefs. It is often said that “Religion causes wars”, but the reality is that intolerance causes war. By sharing their own religious and spiritual practices and learning about the religious traditions of others, participants can gain a better insight into and deepen their understanding of what each of us believes, through a religious dialogue and by celebrating what we have in common rather than what divides us. The Yggdrasill village is a place where participants can take part in activities and a dialogue that will yield a better insight into different faiths. The majority of the world‘s major religions will be represented: Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, The Church of Latter Day Saints, Won Buddhism, along with the ancient Norse Ásatrú. This village provides participants the opportunity to simply be themselves, as well as an opportunity to embrace the diversity of faiths and beliefs of their fellow scouts.
Global Development Village The global Scout must be aware of how important changes in the world have come about, and of what he or she can do to effect future change. The Global Development Village (GDV) is a venue for different organizations and charities to share, through activities, what they do to effect positive change. There will not be a special program area for the GDV. Rather, the GDV will consist of subvillages in the Giant, Bull, Eagle, and Dragon Villages, depending on the theme of each village.

Lunch is followed by a carnival of culture where each contingent will introduce their unique country with; food, dance, games and traditions. This will run into the evening, until you dine with the world of scouting. The CHANGE will continue until the sun goes down.
The whole day will give our participants the opportunity to experience CHANGE in an atmosphere of International Friendship and to feel the realization of BP´s Dream.
A Youth Forum will be organized during the days of Althingi.
Althingi is a gathering in Iceland where legislation is debated in order to find a common ground for developing the society. The World Scout Moot will use the opportunity of having people from all around the world to debate on World Issues and how they would like to see the world. Do you want to make an impact? Do you feel like you can change the world? Then the Youth Forum is something for you.
Topics debated at the Youth Forum can include unemployment, education, health, water, energy, environmental sustainability, equality and conflict – or what ever you are interested in and believe is relevant.
The main campsite of Althingi, Úlfljotsvatn, has a lot to offer on a daily bases. It is possible to hike, swim, sail, practice using a bow or just enjoy the nice environment. Café’s with live music will be open during the Moot, and of course there will be old friends and new all around.

The Villanova freshman from Down Under talks about the Wildcats’ unexpectedly strong season.
The Villanova Wildcats started the 2013 cross country season ranked No. 27 and this week jumped to No. 14 after winning both the Big East Conference and Mid-Atlantic regional. Keys to the Wildcats’ success have been tight pack running and the precocious performances of freshman Patrick Tiernan, who won individual titles at both championship meets.
Tiernan, 19, arrived at Villanova last January from Toowoomba, Australia and sat out the indoor and outdoor track seasons. His collegiate career began quietly, as he was third man on the team with a ninth-place overall finish at the Big Five Invitational in Philadelphia. He has been the low stick in all five subsequent races, but Villanova Coach Marcus O’Sullivan kept his team out of Pre-Nationals and the Wisconsin Invitational, so Tiernan’s abilities went unnoticed. A trip to Fayetteville, Ark., in mid-October gave a hint of things to come, as Tiernan ran to a fourth-place finish at the Chile Pepper Festival 8K behind All-Americans Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech and Arkansas teammates Kemoy Campbell and Stanley Kebenei. The Wildcats also impressed that day, scoring a close 31-44 second-place finish behind the Razorbacks. But few would have predicted Villanova’s 34-point low score at the Mid-Atlantic regional, which they accomplished by putting five among the first 12 finishers. Now, with nationals at hand and the team peaking perfectly, Tiernan and his teammates have high ambitions for Terre Haute.
Running Times: Congratulations to you on the Mid-Atlantic region victory, and to your team on taking the title. I’m wondering whether you’ve seen the great photo of you racing alongside several teammates, with a big grin on your face. Any recollection of what was going on?
Patrick Tiernan: I think it was right at the mile marker, and I just remember we were running through a huge crowd of people, five or six hundred just lining the track there, and I just couldn’t believe it. I’d never been in a race with that many spectators or people who were really into cross country like that. So I was overwhelmed by the situation, I guess. There wasn’t anything said or anything like that, I just couldn’t wipe the grin off my face at the time. It was a great moment for me and I’ll always remember it. It was special.
RT: If you think back to August at the beginning of preparations for the season, what was the outlook on how things would shape up for the team?
PT: Nationals was always a goal, but I think for us as a team, winning Big East was probably our biggest goal of the year. We wanted to win that because I know the boys said they had a pretty rough race there last year, finishing fifth or something, so I think we were all pretty determined to do well there. And we figured if we could do well there we’d just try to carry our form on and try to do well at nationals. And now we definitely see ourselves as a big threat to other teams, potentially a top 10 team if we all perform at our full potential. We’ll just see how we go, we’ll rock up on the day and give it one hundred percent and that’s all anyone can ask for.
RT: Villanova has surprised a lot of people this month, in part because you didn’t run some of the biggest meets during the regular season—you weren’t at Pre-Nationals or Wisconsin, for example. But were you guys and Coach O’Sullivan confident all along that you had the capability to do well in the late season, and what point did you feel it could all come together like this?
PT: It was Marcus’s plan for the season to keep pretty low-key until the post-season races. And we had a pretty good hit out there at Arkansas, which was our first big race of the year. But I think we worked into it well. Each race we were prepared for by the training we were doing and our training was getting gradually quicker as the season was going along. And I think now we’ve tapped into some systems that they didn’t get into last year as far as aerobic and anaerobic capacity goes. That was a big factor for us and it’s worked out really well and hopefully it pays off in the last race.
RT: You’ve won three races and finished among the top few in three others. Have the results surprised you or did you come in after a really good summer and know you were going to be one of the top guys?
PT: I guess you’re always going to be surprised when you get a win in any sort of race, but I knew I was fit, I knew I had a good base built up during the summer. And I guess just doing a few things differently with a more serious set-up over here rather than back home was a big thing for me this semester. I’ve raced as I usually do, no surprises as far as my tactics have gone whatsoever. But I think definitely the change-up in training for me was a big thing and it’s been probably my best season of running to date. Yeah, it’s definitely been a surprise for me but I think I can get out one more good race for the season.
RT: Was racing the full 10K distance at regionals a lot more challenging than the previous 4-mile and 8K races?
PT: Yeah, it was. I’d done a couple of 10Ks back home but not cross country, they were sort of flat races. So it was a big step up for me but it’s what we’ve been training for the whole season, so we were ready for it.
RT: You’ve got such a deep team, all seven racing so closely together in races. Obviously at nationals it’s going to be a big, talented field and high intensity so do you expect to still work together as a team?
PT: Yeah, I feel we can definitely work off each other in the race. I know that’s what a lot of other teams do when it comes to big races like this. You’ve got to know where you’re at and the only way to do that is to work off the teammates you’ve been training with all year. So I think that will definitely come into play on the day, but honestly I’m not 100 percent sure what the plan is for the race.
RT: Individually what are you looking to do in Terre Haute?
PT: Ideally I’d like to get in the top 25, but we’ll see how the race goes. If I can get in the top 25 anything better is just a bonus.
RT: And as a team you’re saying top ten is the goal, right?
PT: As a team top ten, definitely. That’s definitely our potential and now it’s just a matter of us applying it on the day.

I often give advice about nutrition, and I like to think of it not just in the narrow sense of food for the body but in the broader sense of what we choose to experience and how the choices affect our minds and emotions.
Awesome. Just awesome. Because I really believe that where I put my eyes and my attention pretty much determines what I see and experience, and thus where I tend to dwell in in my head and the emotions that bubble up to the top of my life.
I believe this because, well, I live it. A bunch of years back in a whole other lifetime I hung around with a really great person who used snarky, biting (and, yes, funny) criticism of everyone and everything else to basically help him feel better about himself. He pulled things and people down so he’d feel taller and better. As Dr. Weil says, what we choose to experience affects our minds and emotions. I fell into that mode, too.
A few years ago I made a conscious shift to cultivate gratitude, to look for the good in any situation (even crappy, hard ones), and to focus on being more positive. I changed my diet of experiences and focus, and, wow, did those choices pay off.
Today, then, I’m really grateful for stumbling across this magazine at a most unlikely place and for the whim that nudged me into buying it. Even more, though, I’m grateful for having improved my experiential nutrition so much that I recognize the truth in these words.

Find your smartphone of dream on JiJi.ng!
In this article JiJi.ng gives you some real and useful advice how to make one of your dreams (iPhone) comes true. So, read and share with friends!
Today it’s hard to imagine life without smartphone. Almost every Nigerian has mobile phone or smartphone and uses it not only for calling, but also for playing, searching on Web, making photo. Also many people use smartphones for determination their social status, as a cars, clothes, jewelery and accessories.
Of course, status smartphones are quite expensive, so not everyone can buy it and they very often become a pipedream for many people. But how to make a dream closer and buy in the cheapest way super expensive smartphone, for example iPhone 6?
JiJi.ng finds a man, who is a fan of Apple gadgets and tries to follow all it trends. But there is a one problem – he can’t buy many of them because of money lack. He didn’t give up and found a great way to buy cool Apple things for the lowest prices. How did he do that? Let’s read his personal history.
Don’t go to the wise advice. Run the advice of cunning.
Hi, my name is Josh. I really obsessed with Apple gadgets. Of course, after appearance iPhone 6 on the market, I decided to get it at any way. But I was a simple office worker and couldn’t get it at full price, which was offered in most stores.
So, I had to find another method.
New iPhone is the pleasure not for everyone – only for rich and influential. Another thing – used iPhone.
But even used iPhone needs to be carefully chosen. I choose three optimal types of searching my dream phone – special stores, friends and online-marketplaces.
I went to the nearest electronic stores and found there a lot of proposals, but I wanted only the last model only for minimum money. So, it wasn’t my option.
It’s really good variant, just because it is pointless to keep silent about some shortcomings of the friend’s device. Also, in 99 percent, you shouldn’t meet a scammer on your way to buying. Unfortunately, I hasn’t such friends with iPhone 6, but one my friend advised me to search on popular marketplace JiJi.ng. Thus, I have reached the third option.
I went to JiJi.ng and understood – it was all I need. 3 528 results of searching by word “iPhone”! But really surprise was for me their price – so cheap and cool smartphones.
Of, course, I have seen the ads of scam – their prices for iPhone 6 were fabulously small and unreal. But JiJi.ng warns about fraud of such sellers! So, I look only for reliable sellers. And I have found, yeah!
One man sold iPhone 6 twice cheaper, than I had seen in the stores. He really needs money, because he went bankrupt with many credits. So, he decided to sell all remains of the former luxury, including iPhone 6. Man sells this smartphone so cheap, because it has a scratch on the back side. It doesn’t bother me – and I become a lucky man with favored iPhone 6. All thanks to JiJi!
1. Sellers on JiJi.ng are real people, so everything is in your hands – bargain, persuade, use all the psychological tricks. Most of sellers are ready for bargain, so for start they put the higher price.
2.Be sure to ask about all defects of things – sellers can “forget” about it.
For example, the former owner of my iPhone didn’t write about scratch in his ads. I learned about it thanks to my questions.
3. View maximum of ads.
Don’t dwell on the first ads. Those who search, find.
4. Please, don’t get fooled by scammers.
Yes, lowest prices beckon, but come to mind, if you want to buy something, not to run out of money.
Quite informative or too corrupt ads with obviously fake web profiles should be avoided. More should embarrass the strange conditions of the transfer unit and / or payment, as well as junk prices. If the seller is able to create an ad on marketplace, he knows the estimated cost of such hot commodity as the iPhone.
Read our article about scammers, here!
5. Try to search in different regions of Nigeria, sometimes price can very differ.
So, try to apply tips of Josh and buy everything you want in famous marketplace in Nigeria – cheap, fast, reliable!
