What are Blanket Orders Agreements?
A blanket order is a purchase order that contains multiple delivery dates scheduled over a negotiated period of time. These types of purchase orders are used when there is a recurring need for goods, or where an ongoing requirement can be forecasted by the customer.
A supply agreement is a binding document/contract that secures the promise to supply a specific quantity of goods over a certain period of time. A supply agreement has three options of the Method of supply. A. Min/Max Replenishment with quarterly review - Automatic B. Quarterly Forecast Replenishment - Automatic C. Purchase Order - Not Automatic Package All will provide strategic, tactical and operational services to procure, store and deliver the packaging goods listed in the agreement.
Does Package All Handle Blanket Orders and Supply Agreements?
Package All is happy to accommodate both blanket orders and supply agreements! Our Just-in-Time-Delivery System (JIT) will ensure you that you receive the product you need, when you need it. For Example: a customer needs 30,000 bottles each month, but the lead time on these particular bottles is 6 weeks. Package All can bring in a bulk order of 100,000 bottles at once, warehouse them, then release 30k each month the customer. This avoids the 6-week lead time (after the first order), and potentially reduces costs because of higher tier pricing. We also can and guarantee that the customer’s product is in stock to be delivered on time.
What are the benefits of Just-in-Time Delivery?
Our Just-in-Time Delivery System can benefit customers with Reduced Costs, Shorter Lead Times, and Reduced Stocking Requirements.
Reduced Costs: The blanket order allows each customer to closely control their costs. A great benefit of blanket ordering and supply agreements is a discount in pricing. When the customer orders in higher volumes it allows for price breaks that wouldn’t otherwise be available with smaller more frequent orders.
Shorter Lead Time: When materials are ordered in advance and secured for future use, this gives the customer control over inventory and prevents out of stock or back order issues that may hold up the delivery of necessary production components. Since the order is already placed in advance, there is no lead time for subsequent deliveries. Reduced Stocking Requirements: By having Package All store future shipments, customers save valuable warehouse space in their facility. Just-in-Time-Delivery will help reduce stock by warehousing future orders. While reducing the amount of stock carried, the customer reduces overhead and eliminates the time and expense of frequent ordering.
Does Package All have the warehouse space to hold my extra inventory?
Yes! We hold your bulk packaging inventory and ship it to you based on predetermined schedules. It’s just that easy and it works like clockwork. Just-in-Time Delivery works seamlessly because Package All owns and operates its own trucks, and our extended warehouse hours help to accommodate on-time deliveries. We have distribution centers on the East and West Coasts, with over 270,000 square feet of storage space to hold your rigid packaging. Our state of the art warehouses feature live inventory systems (WMS), computerized electronic wire guidance for narrow aisle picking and scan guns (for speed and accuracy).
Package All can help analyze your purchasing history to determine if either a blanket order or a supply agreement is the right choice for your company. While blanket orders are used for shorter periods of time, usually 3 to 6 months, a supply agreement is a longer-term agreement, usually lasting up to a year. Based on your annual production schedule or seasonal requirements, we can help obtain the best possible pricing for your needs. Please contact us online or by phone and to discuss this option.

ARMAGH City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council announces plans for a £250,000 refurbishment to the children’s play park in Tannaghmore Gardens, Craigavon.
Tannaghmore Gardens and Rare Breed Animal Farm will receive investment of a quarter of a million pounds to upgrade the children’s play park.
The attraction is popular with schools and families all year round, with a rare breeds animal farm, maze, and large play park which has been loved by children for years, but has now been identified as due for an upgrade.
Council, along with Farrans and Garden Escapes, are currently seeking opinions from local schools and community groups on the final designs to ensure that it is suitable for local needs. The play park renovation will make the area an even more attractive destination for locals and with its convenient location just off the M1 it is sure to attract visitors from outside the borough too.
The play park at Tannaghmore will be closed for a few months to accommodate the work, during which time children can use the nearby Kinnego Marina play park which was upgraded in 2018. The other areas of Tannaghmore Gardens, including the rare breeds animal farm, will be unaffected by the works.
It is hoped that work will be complete by July so that children will be able to enjoy the brand new park during the summer holidays.
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, Councillor Julie Flaherty, commented: “I am so excited to see the plans for the new play park in Tannaghmore! This facility will represent the largest investment in fixed play so far in ABC Council, and I am pleased that it will be tailored for specific age groups with areas for young children and toddlers, as well as more challenging play equipment, such as a zip line, for older children including teenagers.
For further information or to find out how to get involved in play in your area, contact Joan Noade, Play Development Officer, Armagh City, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council on joan.noade@armaghbanbridgecraigavon.gov.uk or 075 1560 7472.

The superintendent of one of Tzu Chi’s hospitals in Taiwan received a special gift from an elderly patient who suffers from arthritis -- a bag of red beans from her home town. For Dr Lai Ning-sheng, who heads the Dalin hospital in the southwest of the island, it was the most precious present of the year.
He explained the remarkable story behind the gift at the volunteers’ morning assembly on January 17 this year.
“The patient, a grandmother, suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, which I diagnosed six years ago. Her condition was very serious. That day, her husband pushed her in a wheelchair into the examination room. I looked at her and realized that traditional treatment would not help. She must receive a special treatment. It would be effective – but was very expensive, at more than NT$200,000 for six months. I realized that she would not be able to afford such a large amount; but I was afraid that, if I told her the truth, she would be very worried. So I told her: ‘I will apply to the Bureau of National Health Insurance for a subsidy for her.’ In fact, I knew that she did not meet its criteria. What should we do?
That was six years ago. A short time ago, Dr Lai saw Grandmother return to the examination room one afternoon carrying a bag of red beans. She and her husband live in Wandan, a town in Pingtung on the southern tip of Taiwan, famous for its high-quality red beans.
“ ‘Grandma, why are you here?’ I asked. ‘Are you not feeling well?’ ‘No,’ she said. ‘I came to give you these red beans.’ I was surprised and said: ‘your arms are deformed. Why do you still go on planting red beans?’ Her husband cut into the conversation and said he had told her not to do it but that she kept on planting. ‘Since last October, she has been saying that she wants to grow red beans for Dr Lai,’ he said. October is the planting season; farmers pick up pods and wait for them to dry for seven to ten days before harvesting them by hand. I did not imagine that the love I showed a patient six years ago would be returned in this way. When I received the bag of red beans, it was the most precious gift I received this year.

If you are planning a trip to Maldives you may want to check accommodation and dining options. There are various types to choose from and this post will help you find the most suitable Maldives accommodation for your holiday. Resorts in Maldives mostly means for upmarket tourists, except a few back-to-nature style resorts.
You dont necessarily have to stay at a resort to stay in Maldives. Especially these days the guesthouse trend is taking the hype. Dreamers who previously couldnt afford Maldives can now visit here and see the bare nature with your own eyes.
There are about 110 resorts in Maldives. If you want to accommodate at top resort, heres top 5 I would recommend, in terms of luxury accommodation.
These resorts are top of the line, expect a night for over a thousand dollar. In low season, from April to September, you often get free nights or the rates get really low. Still, most of the guests prefer to visit in Winter, may be to escape the freezing cold weather. If you find the top 5 not the fitting your budget, heres another 5 that have lower rates and yet offer luxury accommodation.
These resorts offer more affordable Maldives accommodation than the top 5. Yet, the islands as beautiful as top 5. All islands have superb beaches, breath-taking reefs to snorkel, all in all will give you a fantastic holiday. If you still find the budget not fitting, heres 5 resorts that are really cheap compared to general prices of Maldives resorts.
In general these resorts provide cheaper accommodation. Some of them do offer luxury accommodation as well. Again, the islands are beautiful and offers perfect natural setting. All resorts have different dining and wining options. Most of all, you will enjoy a long list of excursions and many people do take part. This is the cheapest line of resort accommodation you will get in Maldives.
If you a keen diver, there are many liveboards of cruise vessels to spend your Maldives holiday. If you want a few names try Ocean Dancer, Honors Legacy, Handy Cruise. These the top liveabords popular in Maldives and could cost reasonably. More affordable liveabord accommodations include Maafahi, Stringray, Ari Queen, Eagle Ray, Nautilus One, Manthiri.
Guesthouses and city hotel accommodation have recently become popular among tourists visiting Maldives. You can stay in the city and enjoy a range of excursions, visit local shops and dine at local restaurants. This is perhaps the most economical way to spend your holiday in Maldives. Be it luxury accommodation or budget accommodation you can find in many islands of Maldives. You can reach hotels in Hulhumale within 10 minutes by taxi. Check different types of accommodation in Maafushi Island, about 1.5hrs from Male International Airport.

Within a few hours, they responded back that because I had purchased these items within the last two weeks, they’d refund my credit card for the difference. Yes, it’s only about $13, but it’s something.

Last weekend the G20 finance ministers made some progress in their pledge to deal with some important global problems, but differences remain and whether the pledges are implemented remain to be seen.
On 22 and 23 October, the G20's Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors met in Gyeongju, South Korea, and issued a communique that was hailed by the media as having made progress in dealing with some recent global economic issues.
The issues include volatility in currency movements, accusations that major countries were engaging in a “currency war” that could spill over into trade protectionism, huge capital flows that could swamp some developing countries with too much funds and cause inflation and asset price bubbles.
The communique indeed referred to these issues, but in general and in some cases rhetorical terms. It lacked specific details or quantitative commitments, and thus countries have the flexibility to interpret the principles and good intentions in their own way.
The differences in approach by various countries that were evident in the days just before the meeting may thus remain. But the fact that the meeting did not break down, and that at least some principles were agreed to, provides relief and some hope of future progress, perhaps during the G20 Summit next month.
The global economic problems remain, however. So too do the the differences of view, either among the G20 members, or between some leading economists and the policy makers of many G20 countries.
For example, the communique said that the advanced countries would implement “clear, credible, ambitious and growth-friendly medium-term fiscal consolidation plans”.
Many prominent economists including Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz in the US and Robert Skidelsky in Britain have strongly argued that the developed countries are making a big mistake in moving too quickly from the consensus just a year ago that they should undertake “fiscal stimulus” to get out of recession, to the present near-consensus that the same countries should now go on a “fiscal austerity” drive.
The big cuts in government spending (to reduce budget deficits) will cause their economies to sputter, before the recovery becomes self-sustaining.
In his column on 23 October, Krugman criticised the British budget, which was presented last week, for its massive cut in government spending (and the loss of 490,000 government staff) and for following the austerity fad. He predicted that the premature fiscal austerity will lead to a renewed economic slump in Britain.
stability and thereby contribute to the recovery.
However, this pledge papers over the recent sharp criticisms of the US Federal Reserve for its intention to undertake “quantitative easing” (or pumping large amounts of funds into the banking system). This attack has come not only from China but last week also from the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
China and other developing countries have voiced the concern that the expansion of liquidity will tend to depress the US dollar, and also to cause large and unwanted flows of funds to developing countries. The capital inflows, which are already taking place, cause the recipient developing countries to have higher inflation, asset price bubbles and pressures on their currencies to appreciate.
The US has accused China of manipulating its currency by preventing the yuan from appreciating, while China in turn has criticised the US for printing money to expand liquidity which results in the dollar's devaluation.
At the G20 meeting, many officials expressed concern to the US about its policy. “Excessive, permanent money creation in my opinion is an indirect manipulation of an exchange rate,” said the German economy minister, Rainer Brüderle.
Meanwhile, several developing countries are countering excessive capital inflows (and pressures for currency appreciation) either by intervention in the currency market, or by capital controls such as taxes on certain types of foreign capital entering the countries. The governments concerned have a good case when they argue that these measures are needed to protect their countries from the damaging effects of speculative capital inflows, and that they are not manipulating their currencies.
This is also a welcome statement. However, it remains to be seen whether the developed countries, especially the US, will stand by it. For example, will the US give up its expected new quantitative easing, or will it instead argue that the communique does not really imply that it should refrain from this measure?
This complex paragraph reflects a watered down proposal by the United States which reportedly called for the G20 countries to keep their current account balance (whether a surplus or a deficit) to below 4 per cent of gross domestic product.
The current account balance is a combined measure of the balances (exports minus imports) of a country's trade in goods, trade in services, flows of income and transfer payments such as migrant workers' remittances.
The G20 communique also announced a decision to increase the share of developing countries in the IMF's quota (and thus voting power) by more than 6 percentage points by 2012.

Cunningham uses Rand's biography to illuminate the policies that led to the economic crash in the U.S. and in Europe, and how her philosophy continues to affect today's politics and policies, starting with her most noted disciple, economist Alan Greenspan (former chairman of the Federal Reserve). Cunningham also shows how right-wing conservatives, libertarians, and the Tea Party movement have co-opted Rand's teachings (and inherent contradictions) to promote personal gain and profit at the expense of the middle class. Tackling the complexities of economics by distilling them down to a series of concepts accessible to all age groups, Cunningham ultimately delivers a devastating analysis of our current economic world.

If you are in Paris check out the work of Franco-Brazilian visual artist Alexis Peskine from May 21st to June 21st 2013, at GALERIE BE-ESPACE, 57, rue Amelot. 75011 Paris. His main themes in his work are race and identity issues.
At last, Alexis Peskine is back in Paris. This time he’s storming the Bastille, exhibiting at the BE-ESPACE Gallery, 57 rue Amelot, from 21 May to 21 June 2013. It’s a proud moment for the gallery’s US-born founder and director, Brian Elliott Rowe, who is thrilled to present a dozen works by this multi-facetted, world-renowned artist.
« Rising above France » ? In fact, Alexis Peskine could hardly be more in tune with the reality of France, in all its diversity and singularity. His father was Franco-Russian, his mother Afro-Brazilian. His grandfather was a Jew who survived the German death camps. This baggage could be hard to carry, but instead it provides him with wings, both as an artist and as a man.
Off topic but I just wanted to say that I've not been on this blog for a while as you indicated that it's no longer updated. So, I am SO HAPPY that you started to post again. :-) I really appreciate this.

The Colosseum built by DARPA at APL can simulate extremely complex EM environments.
Just like its counterpart in antiquity, DARPA’s version of the Colosseum involves competition. But in place of gladiator contests, this new Colosseum hosts efforts to conquer the electromagnetic (EM) environment. More precisely, it is an EM emulation chamber constructed in the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) of Johns Hopkins University in Laurel, Md.
DARPA’s Colosseum is serving as the test bed for the agency’s Spectrum Collaboration Challenge (SC2), in which design teams are tasked with developing new ways of adapting radio communications systems to the shrinking availability of frequency spectrum. One of the approaches involves dynamic allocation of available spectrum via the autonomous collaboration of different wireless networks.
This Colosseum consists of multiple software-defined radios (SDRs) that generate the multiple signals of a severely overcrowded radio environment. It is essentially a nearly impossible EM environment for operating an additional radio system. A total of 128 two-antenna SDRs supplied by National Instruments are combined with 64 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to create a 256 × 256 channel emulator capable of calculating and simulating as many as 65,000 channel interactions among 256 wireless devices in real time.
Each simulated channel is designed to occupy 100 MHz, so that the testbed can occupy as much as 25.6 GHz of bandwidth at any one time. Transmit and receive frequencies can be tuned from 10 MHz to 6 GHz and has much as 52 TB of data can be transferred through the testbed in any second.
As part of the SC2 competition, radio design teams must develop a radio system capable of operating with high performance levels in this spectrally saturated environment. A successful design team with a radio that provides the highest reliability under these challenging conditions stands to win as much as $3,500,000.

A motion to full Council proposed by Walkley Labour Councillor Neale Gibson and passed by the Labour group, called on the Government to introduce business rates on residential properties let to students.
Any rise in taxes on student property would almost inevitably then be passed on to tenants and raise rents even higher.

In November 2018 we ran a workshop at the College Marketing Network’s annual conference looking at how to use Labour Market Information to engage prospective students. We highlighted our own experiences and discussed why we built Pathways. This article aims to give an overview of that session.
We launched Pathways in the summer of 2018. I want to start with a brief history of how we got to that point.
Tim and I founded our digital agency Float in 2003. Over these 15 years we’ve worked predominantly with clients in the education sector, building all kinds of things that exist online. Websites for colleges, careers focused resources for young people and other interesting projects like the real-time multiplayer stock market simulation for students that we made for Global Investor.
We have quite lot of experience working in this sector, making digital products that engage with a younger audience. It was in early 2017 that we began looking at Labour Market Information in much more detail.
We’re the development team behind the Careerpilot website. We did a major overhaul of the service in 2017 and spent a lot of time researching and reviewing different tools, services and ways to extract and present LMI, careers and progression information to a student audience.
We also performed a big review of college websites that year and started to see a small number of colleges beginning to integrate LMI into their course marketing pages. It was really exciting to see this type of data on their websites - it seemed to put them way ahead of the competition, as you could clearly see that doing one of their courses could lead to a particular career. But we also felt there was scope to do so much more.
As such, over the last 18 months we’ve done a lot of research and integration with Labour Market Information from numerous sources and I think wholeheartedly we see the value in making this type of data accessible to students and their parents.
Every learner, and their parents, should have access to good quality information about future study options and labour market opportunities.
In the past year, we’ve seen recommendations coming to make LMI more accessible. Recent government strategy documents highlight the necessity to make high quality LMI much more accessible and open - to help inform future choices. The above quote is from the Gatsby Benchmarks where the use of LMI data is one of their 8 benchmarks (Learning from Career and Labour Market Information). And the recent Department for Education Career Guidance for FE and Sixth form colleges also stresses its importance.
So we get it. We understand this is important!
And it’s important for colleges too. There are many ways you can use occupation and progression data to engage and to inform.
Not only for careers education. But also from a marketing perspective - to sell your courses to prospective students and their parents.
So why is it that students actually go to college? To learn, because they’re interested in a particular subject, for the student experience, or because their sister or cousin went there?
Or do they choose a particular college course because they want go on to be an engineer, or a midwife, or work with animals.
Students see college as the best way to get the right training and qualifications that will lead to a job they want to do.
Someone doesn’t enrol on a Health and Social Care course because that’s their goal. It’s because they want to be a nurse, or a midwife, or a care worker.
College is only the beginning of their journey. Not the actual destination but a means to help them get to where they want to go. To give them the skills, the qualifications and to help them get the job they really want.
Therefore the way you market your courses should look beyond the course and map to the careers students go on to do. To show progression, to demonstrate how doing your course can help them achieve their goal. To set the bar and give them something to aspire to.
Clear and high-quality Labour Market Information can really help students and their parents make informed choices about what to do next. It can present many options that they don’t event know existed.
We’re talking here about using Labour Market Information as marketing material to engage prospective students. Not in a careers section, or as a careers resource only for existing students. But out front and centre, integrated into your course marketing pages. Showing clear examples - if you study at our college on this course, you could progress to further study and have this career. Earning this amount of money, with these prospects.
By integrating Labour Market Information you’re adding marketing collateral to your courses, you’re adding value.
But we know this is really hard. It’s a huge task!
Form our own experiences and from talking to our college clients, the task of manually researching and mapping LMI data to all of your courses is an almost unimaginable task!
The process of finding relevant, up to date, and regional data for related jobs, for all of your courses, can just feel like an impossibility.
Successful completion of this course can lead to job x, job y or job z.
It’s very dry and a bit light. No real sense of how to do this, or a sense of something to aim for. And will there actually be any of these jobs in 2-3 years when they’re qualified?
It’s not that we’re saying this is doing it wrong. We just understand how hard it is to do this properly.
What if you could show the jobs people go on to do. Actual jobs based on real progression data. With salary information, predicted employment figures both nationally and regionally.
The qualifications you need for a job and typical progression routes for getting there. And maybe with videos of real people talking about doing that job.
If this was all mapped to your courses, embedded directly in each of your course pages. And by virtue of being there, having this high-quality data accessible, helped your college meet Gatsby Benchmark #2.
Through our own research and early work with Labour Market Information we knew there was a whole load of accessible data.
We had reviewed other careers and progression tools and whilst knowing these services existed, we we still were pretty convinced that the sector was missing an affordable LMI tool.
One that was in context to the specific course page a user was looking at, mapped directly with real data. That doesn’t take you off to a different website. And a tool where it would all be automated - it didn’t need a marketing team to have to do their own mapping.
Through the work we do, we spend a lot of time in schools and colleges observing and testing with 14/15/16 year olds. Watching them use websites and other digital tools.
Whilst many people think the “younger generation” are tech savvy, that’s not necessarily true. Perhaps with Playstation gaming, or Snapchat, or Instagram. But they have less experience of using the internet to find out information. To do research. They’re not necessarily confident in navigating their way around often complex websites.
There is so much LMI and career data accessible to us that we need to understand what is important and present it with clarity. It should provide real insights, not just stats and numbers and be something that young people can relate to. It should mean something to them.
Which means it must be engaging and simple. And be something that is actually of interest to young people!
The result of this research and building on our knowledge and experience we developed Pathways.
Pathways shows progression options from the courses your college provides to the careers students can do.
It maps your subjects and courses to HE and future careers and shows Labour Market Information, study options and videos of real people talking about their jobs.
As part of our workshop session at the College Marketing Network conference we were joined by Georgia Watt from the marketing team at St Brendan’s Sixth Form College. She presented an overview of the process they had been through to integrate Labour Market Information into their course pages, highlighting the struggles of trying to do this internally within an already busy team.
Georgia gave an insight into their usage of Pathways and the benefits it had brought to their marketing team and to the college overall.
Helps us meet Gatsby Benchmark #2!
It was both reassuring and satisfying to see staff, prospective students and parents all engaging with this one tool during open events. Pathways offers fantastic value for money – it is versatile and adds significant value to conversations across the College.
After our workshop we had lots of interesting conversations with people from college marketing teams across the country. Hearing about their own, often shared experiences, and agreeing the value of presenting high quality Labour Market Information to prospective students.
If you’d like to hear more about this workshop then please let us know.
If your college, school or careers team would like to talk further about integrating Labour Market Information into your website and to understand how Pathways can help then we’d love to have a conversation. We can give you a live demo of Pathways and answer any questions you may have.

School readiness is the transition in a child’s life, which is usually referred to as “ready to learn” and is more important than just getting a child enrolled in an educational institute at an appropriate time. This is basically a stage where a child is trained from his/her early years in developing literacy skills, such as basic knowledge of math and reading, together with focusing on other domains of development. It is an important multi-dimensional concept which is said to determine academic success, attainment of higher education and securing employment earlier than the children who lag behind in achieving school readiness. This phenomenon also takes into account, the school’s readiness for the children, and families’ and communities’ readiness for school.
In the context of underserved families living in Houston city, the children are not much inclined towards education due to the poor socio-economic lives and parents being unable to afford quality education. Children in such families turn out to be low in literacy and other domains as well. In order to prepare these children for a better future by making them “ready to learn”, RF also works on improving school readiness in these children and their families alongside providing them with ECD services through various interventions.

Now is the right time to buy rental properties or get a new mortgage. The numbers make a lot of sense because everything changed in the last few years. The housing bubble burst, many people can no longer afford to buy and interest rates cannot be any lower. Is this a perfect storm? Rental property is all about the numbers and the numbers look really good. What are you going to do?
Do you have enough savings to make a down payment? Foreclosures and tight credit are keeping prices low. Could prices go lower? Maybe! If you are looking for real estate for rentals, now is the right time. The combination of low prices and interest rates creates a real opportunity. If you have good credit and the income to support the mortgage, you could be a landlord! You could use the buy to let mortgage calculator to find out if this would work for you. What do you think?
Okay, you aren’t interested in buying rental property! Now is still a good time to buy real estate. Wouldn’t you like to know what you mortgage payment would be? You can use the mortgage calculator to find out your monthly payments. Whether you are buying your first house or it is your twentieth house, you want to know your payment before you actually buy the house. What are you waiting for?
With prices and interest rates so low, it is the perfect time to buy real estate. Good credit and sufficient income is all that you need to get into rental property or a personal residence now. Being a landlord is not easy, but it is a great way to build assets. How often can you have someone else pay your bills (mortgage). Over time, it is a great way to build wealth! Prices are low on personal residences and it is a great time to buy. What are you going to do?
Hello… I found you from Buck. Anyway, I think things will go lower. Certain areas are shot… Literally.
I do not disagree, however you can not buy at the lowest price. You still need to negotiate the best possible price and over the long term your property will appreciate. In the meantime, you either enjoy the tax benefits (personal residence) or a tenant is paying your mortgage (plus tax benefits).
Ya I totally agree, I would not be so comfortable trying to flip a house any time in the next couple years. Though with a fixed mortgage at 4% renting over the long term sounds like a very good idea.
Aside from the tenant paying your mortgage and increasing equity, you can sell in a few years and either trade your equity tax deferred (1031 exchange) or sell and only pay capital gains. Sounds like a win/win!
If everyone sells the prices go down. I think a better choice is to refinance and buy more.
It is definitely a buyer’s market now which makes things affordable. 🙂 Before the bubble busted, the market was out of control and was a complete seller’s market.
It was beyond a seller’s market. I think the irrational exuberance added to the bubble.
I think a rental property would about kill my spare time right now. I’d rather buy another REIT.
That could work, it is risk/reward when it comes to investments.
I’m the same way 101. But the crazy low mortgage rates have to make a person at least think about it. Those percentages are just wild on a historical level?
The numbers make a lot of sense, but rental property is a business and you must deal with the bad parts as well as the good.
We fell into becoming landlords. We bought a new home that we could not have afforded several years ago. And until the market turns around, we can’t afford to sell our other home. We are blessed to have great renters!
I am sure you had something to do with choosing the renters. I rented out our old home when we downsized for a couple years. It was supposed to be short term, but lasted 2 years. It worked out great!
Now is a great time to buy real estate. Prices in Phoenix, hit extremely hard, are projected to appreciate 9% in 2012!
If you buy, remember it is a buyer’s market and get the best possible price.
Where did the 9% figure for Phoenix come from? I agree that that area is flattening, but I don’t know about that level of appreciation this year.
I think 9% seems a little high too, but maybe the supply of houses have changed (reduced).
The reason I brought it up is purely selfish. I happen to live in Phoenix and own real estate I bought 2 years ago. Suffice it to say I’m hoping for a turnaround!
Any homeowner is hoping for a turnaround, but it may take years.
We’re definitely going to do a refinance on our current home. And the foreclosed house down the street sure does look tempting to buy as a rental property. I agree with you that there are a lot of good options out there right now if you’re willing to jump in.
At the very least, everyone should investigate without preconceived notions about rental property. The numbers make sense and it is an opportunity.
Remember it is a buyer’s market and use it to your advantage. You can never buy at the absolute bottom, but you can buy well enough to create a positive cash flow.

For doctors and nurses responding to a pandemic, an RFID system could be a matter of life and death.
Jun 01, 2009—In November 2002, the first case of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was discovered in China. In February 2003, the Chinese government notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about the spread of the disease to more than 300 people. By April, SARS had spread to Singapore, the Philippines and Canada (see Singapore Fights SARS With RFID and Singapore Seeks Leading RFID Role).
In late 2003, Asia also saw an outbreak of bird flu, which spread throughout Asia and resulted in many farmers across the region killing their chickens. Now it's swine flu (the H1N1 virus), which mutated from pigs but is not spread by them. Countries around the world are mobilizing to stem the outbreak.
The Fighting SARS Memorial in Hong Kong: Nearly 180 nurses and more than 50 doctors died in Hong Kong after treating SARS patients and contracting the illness themselves.
So far, swine flu has been fairly mild and has resulted in relatively few deaths, but health experts believe the world is vulnerable to potential deadly pandemics. One reason is that in some parts of the world, animals and humans live in close proximity to one another, allowing viruses common to animals to mutate and spread to humans. Another is that in today's global economy, people travel across national boundaries with far greater frequency than ever before, allowing potentially lethal viruses to spread.
Some governments have responded to the potential threat of mad cow and hoof-and-mouth diseases by requiring farmers to track animals with RFID. The same technology could play a role if there were an outbreak of disease directly associated with animals, as was the case with bird flu. It would be possible to use RFID to track which animals the diseased animals had come in contact with and slaughter just those, thereby preventing the widespread destruction of farm animals that had not been exposed to the disease.
But governments could be more proactive by taking steps to deploy RFID systems that would enable hospitals to track individuals who have a disease, and those who come in contact with them. When the SARS outbreak was raging across Asia, hospitals in Taiwan and Singapore responded by deploying active RFID systems. Each patient confirmed to have the rapidly spreading disease was given an active RFID tag to wear. Doctors, nurses and others in the hospital also wore tags, as did visiting family and friends.
The system allowed doctors to monitor those who came in contact with infected patients. This was critical, because the incubation period of the SARS virus is 10 days. The system was set up to store data on individuals for 21 days (after which it was deleted), ensuring that information about all the contacts a SARS patient had within the hospital remained available well after the incubation period ended. With this information, health officials could determine whether new cases were the result of contact with existing SARS patients at hospitals.
By establishing these systems in advance, governments could contain a virus more effectively, and hospitals could respond more quickly to those who had been exposed to the virus. This issue is particularly vital for protecting the lives of health-care workers. Nearly 180 nurses and more than 50 doctors died in Hong Kong after treating SARS patients and contracting the illness themselves. Government funding would be key, but the system could also make hospitals more efficient if it were designed to track assets as well as people in the event of an outbreak. For doctors and nurses responding to a pandemic, such a system could be a matter of life and death.

The positivity psychology movement, spearheaded by Seligman and his colleagues, and beginning to utilize words like happiness and flow, has run parallel to other avenues of similar ventures, such as that led by Pryce-Jones. Her iOpener website draws on this work, based on her questioning thousands of people worldwide as to what amounts to happiness at work. Her work thus factorizes these responses, as a market researcher would do, and gives them structure and functions within the psychology of happiness in the place most of us spend most of our waking time, namely, the workplace.
Simultaneously, in the world, corporate have begun to move away from traditional medico-centric ways of looking at health, namely traditional physical wellness and mental presenteeism, to a more positive view of wellbeing, namely, vitality, happiness, and positivity. As Welcoa (Wellness Councils of America) have pointed out, this is good business sense, as more vitally engaged employees are more productive, and the downstream effects on clients as the Harvard Business Review have pointed out many times, result in bigger sales and less sick days and presenteeism, namely, workers with mental illness at work, not being fully productive. Happiness, like Negativity Bias and Positivity, is contagious. However, without being reductionistically examined, Happiness would be in the eye of beholder.
· Self-Awareness is the place to begin, namely by measuring how happy you are.
1. Contribution: we are happier when we feel we are making a contribution. We know this when we are being listened to, we get positive feedback, we know we are respected, and we feel appreciated. Listening: it’s important you learn to be a listener, as this improves how people listen to you. Being positive is contagious, so being a positive influence will attract: you need three positive events to cancel out a negative, so your contribution will be greatest if you actively try to be positive, and reflect positively on those around you.
2. Conviction: this is about your being clear about what is important to you in the workplace, believing you are effective, being positive when times are tough, and believing in your purpose, that what you are doing is important to the company and the world. You will need to set clear goals, make sure good relationships at work are reciprocated, that you help others at work without waiting to be asked, and finally, that your attitude is always one of getting on with things, stepping up when things are doing wrong, taking on additional responsibility.
3. Culture: this is about your contribution to creating a great environment to work, through your positivity, acknowledgement of others’ contribution, your attitude, willingness to problem solve, plan, move forward, be fair. Making an effort to find aspects of your job that you relish, and actively trying to like your colleagues, help combat chaotic or static workplaces. Systematic and organized workplaces are more static, harder to change, but you can work on being in control of what you do each day, and learn and appreciate what your workplace does, and stands for, what it contributes to the world and its workers. If you don’t actively try to find the good in your workplace and colleague’s culture, you won’t be happy there. Workplace partnerships are like a marriage: what are you building together?
4. Commitment: more committed workers are more engaged. How is your job important, to you, and to your community? Beliefs, such as knowing you are doing a worthwhile job, and that the vision of you organization is valuable, are important aspects of your mindset. Feelings, such as strong positive emotion, and being interested in your own work and that of others, helps foster happiness. Once you have become aware of how important your work is, and when you become committed to being better and better each day at this important task, then you can see how your contribution helps the greater vision and purpose of you organization. Doing something worthwhile however means looking to the future, and not always any short term ‘high’: it takes effort, discipline, grit, which you might think is not an easy way to happiness. However, they are essential for getting you through some short-term hard work, happily done towards a long term essential, purposeful goal. What do you find meaningful? What are you always drawn to? What really matters to me, how does my job tie in with this? What do both I and my company gain from my work? Who am I working with and what are we trying to achieve as a team?
5. Confidence: confidence means that you understand your own capacity to make a difference. This means careful goal setting, crafting mini-goals, each of which is achievable, so that the huge, sometimes overwhelming large picture is not viewed too closely. Taking on a big task can ruin motivation by creating ambivalence (“I want it, but it’s all too hard”) based on previous struggles. Chop up the large goal into small, achievable microgoals so that success on each one creates confidence in your own abilities. Procrastination is a key failure point: the more professional you are, the cleverer you are, the more you will procrastinate. Self-esteem, self-worth and self-belief are all influenced by how you talk to yourself, so become your own guide, by your own side, and work out the simple, small steps you can manage to get to the end goal.
Pride: once you are proud of where you work, you will also trust your workplace and its leaders, and they, you. If you have worked out why your work is important to you, and how the work that you do makes an impact, and how this helps your company do its work, and hence its impact is enhanced, this creates an internal, positive connection with what you are doing. Actively showing pride in your company encourages you and others to contribute and go the extra distance, persevere, select more challenging tasks, spurs you on to think of more things as possible, and feels great anyway.
Trust: this is the faith you have in your organization, which places off your sense of connection and engagement. This is enhanced by the 5-C’s above, since it is what you do that makes a difference. This is a strongly future based-feeling as it depends on the clear vision of the goals you have set for yourself in driving the culture of those around you, and how that links to where the company is heading in terms of its mission. If you are a positive force for those around you, you will feel linked in to the general stream of the company, and trust that the outcome will be achieved, when you play your part. This creates social capital, predicts others will work with you, allows you to take necessary risks, reduces personal pressure, and facilitates sharing of ideas and knowledge from those around you.
Recognition: Whereas pride and trust are directions to the future, recognition is about receiving acknowledgement about the work you have done, what you have achieved in the past. When you summarize the goals achieved, you alert others to what has been done, and your role in that: recognition is thus about the microgoal boxes ticked, and the response of other when you demonstrate that this has been achieved. You will know you are being recognized when great words are directed at you, when people are happy to dedicate time to you, gifts and money are given, various services are offered, a touch or slap on the back, symbols of achievement like certificates, seniors stay in touch often, and of course promotion. Often however, you will be the expert in how you have achieved, and you will have to be content with showing that in the goals you tick off as you work towards achieving your potential of being happy at work, creating your own sense of satisfaction.
· Positivity is contagious, and attracts success, support, recognition, not just about yourself and your role, but of the company’s mission.
· Vitality at work is thus about being part of something bigger than yourself alone, corresponding to ideas of purpose in Dan Pink’s exposition of motivational enhancement.
Another important addition to their thinking is the recurrent theme redolent of most Vitality products which are designed to engage and retain employees to a sense of a more vital engagement at work, namely the autonomy, mastery and purpose, goal setting, and other aspects of defining purpose, both for oneself and the greater corporate culture.
What Pryce-Jones has done is distil the concept of Happiness at work into a fractionated and thus workable whole, with good interactions and overlap between the parts, leading to the gestalt. There are hints multiple other philosophies, such as Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, and general Vitality in the new generation Wellbeing and Resilience products beginning to emerge internationally, and now in demand by corporate who are seeing poor levels of engagement and retention in expensive Wellness products, or in other online measures to help improve workplace wellbeing. Psychology itself has shifted from a pathology-based model to a more positive, motivation enhancing approach to the workplace, and to therapy in general, and Pryce-Jones and her colleague are now producing work which makes Happiness a workable commodity within the attempts by Human Resource departments to offer something of value to their charges beyond onsite health checks or visits to a doctor, or self-funded disability carve-outs.
What is also great about these initiatives is the emphasis on self-guided, rather than other-driven solutions. The depth and range of the Five C’s and the other gestalt elements is also implying the need to move beyond simple commoditized HRA and Wellness checks, to a more wide based, end to end solution to support happiness in the workplace, by not only intervening at sick person level, but all employees, and with multiple points of entry.
11. Working environment does not contribute, nor do pay rises, apart from a brief surge which is temporary.
There are milestone books out there, and for every employer, every employee, every psychologist and HR person, this is it.

London's $11.5-million Hale-Trafalgar railway overpass is stalled indefinitely and may be jeopardized by a lack of funding, sources say.
The city still hasn't reached a funding deal on the controversial overpass -- seen as partial relief for traffic bottlenecks at rail crossings -- with either CN Rail or the federal and provincial governments.
City hall had expected the federal government to help pay for the overpass as a public works project. But now the region's senior MP, Labour Minister Joe Fontana, says the city should use money from its share of the federal gas tax for the project.
"They do have the money," the London North MP insisted yesterday. "How the city decides to spend the gas tax is their decision in terms of priority-setting. That is the new infrastructure program."
I think this is hilarious actually, in the tragic sense of the word of course. I never thought I would hear sensible words come from Fontana's trap and it's an added bonus that London is on the 'losing' end. On the other hand, we must temper such praise with the knowledge that Fontana is a politician, and a member of the Party at that and hence has no problem spending other people's money. Spending cash on the implementation of Kyoto promises a greater reward than an unnecessary overpass in London.
"This will cause us all to have some pause," Deputy Mayor Tom Gosnell said yesterday.
"If we have to spend an extra $4 million to $6 million to complete this project, then it will crowd out other capital spending priorities. It will be a political decision."
The funding glitch comes as the $4-million, first phase of the project is nearly complete, including land acquisition, utility relocation and design.
No shovel has been put in the ground yet, however.
The overpass was narrowly approved by council in a 9-7 vote last year. Several council members opposed the project, partly because the funding wasn't secured.
If these people weren't paid with public dollars, they would be living on street corners begging productive and responsible people for change instead of stealing it at the point of a gun. A sensible person doesn't start a business or begin on an expansion before the loan is guaranteed. But it's London, so that's they way they operate here.
Besides funding concerns, some council members argue other crossings, such as the CPR crossing on Adelaide Street North, are higher priorities.
So far, the province has chipped in $2 million, CN $1.4 million and the city $1.25 million, much of it already spent on the project's first phase.
Sources say the city has only managed to get a commitment of $2 million from CN Rail, no more from the province and nothing from the federal government.
London expects to get almost $55 million during the next five years from its share of the federal gas tax being given to municipalities. Ottawa is paying out 1.5 cents a litre from the tax, rising to five cents by 2009-10.
The money is to be used to improve roads, bridges and other public works as part of the Liberal government's so-called "new deal" for cities.
But council was expecting the federal funding from other sources.
Let us not forget that greed is one of the seven deadly sins.
Ward 4 Coun. Roger Caranci, who led the push to build the overpass, said he's "very confident" it will be built. "It's not in jeopardy. It's going to move forward," said Caranci, who suggested the gas tax money is a possible funding source.
[..] "Any person in their right mind would say there's a problem at the intersection and that we need to fix it."
[..] Steblin said any large capital project takes time.
"You have to eat an elephant one bite at a time and this is a very big project," he said. "But we believe it's a good long-term investment."
Caranci rules over Ward 4, so he's not the most unbiased judge of the right mindedness of others. Even new residents of this city governed by fools will tell you that an overpass on the more highly travelled Adelaide North would be a more worthwhile investment. How many more free dinners will council gobble up over this discussion before they are indeed the size of elephants?
Council has already voted to proceed with the $11.5-million project aimed at reducing congestion and improving safety at the CN crossing.
But Gosnell wanted assurances that if the federal government and CN Rail don't ante up the funds for the second phase of the project -- estimated at $8 million -- the city can reserve the right to transfer provincial funds to other road project priorities.
Hume and city engineer Peter Steblin said the province is getting fed up with London's frequent changes in project priorities funded through the former SuperBuild program.
The concern over Hale- Trafalgar is that although the first phase has been approved with $2 million from the province and $2.5 million each from the city and CN, the federal government and CN haven't committed to the second phase.
The first phase involves design, utility upgrades and voluntary property acquisition. The second phase would be the overpass construction.
Gosnell fears if the second phase can't proceed or is delayed for several years, the city could lose the provincial share he'd rather see diverted to other road works.
Canadian taxpayers should be outraged at the irresponsible behaviour of London's governing elites - it is not just Londoners who are paying for such mismanagement and waste. Unfortunately, such begging and bumbling is not confined to London but occurs in most municipalities.
What's the deal with Canadian railway travel?
You can't even get onto the platform at London until someone guides you to a particular car;at Toronto Union you can actually gain admission,but only after the train has arrived.
In England nobody gives a damn, but pretending that this kind of mollycoddling is added value does seem to be yet another charming example of Canadiana.
July 22, 2005 1:56 p.m.
Londoners are solid Party supporters in the aggregate, so obviously they don't require any more pork for the time being. The Party's "Public Works" front organization can use that money more effectively to help shore up Party support in less predictable ridings.
July 22, 2005 6:08 p.m.
I think the real problem with the bridge is the nature of the "new deal" which is actually a raw deal for taxpayers.
The new deal money is intended for "sustainable" Kyoto-friendly projects. Perhaps your bridge falls into that category, but in Regina, our mayor is spending the gas money on fuel-efficent buses, and not fixing crumbling infrastructure -- Ottawa dictates as such.
The Mayor of Winnipeg wants to fill potholes with the gas money, but the feds won't let him.
The new deal is garbage.
July 25, 2005 2:24 p.m.
Maybe, we should have less faith in the benevolent big brother who sloshes tax money like it flows in a stream and can be commanded by dams.

Article Summary: "sharing some more experiences of myself and my friends's in life..."
Basically for life , there is no perfect correct path to take. We all live and learn how to live. We make our own paths and go through the path. Sometime, we find that the road is closed. then we realise that on our path three diversions were available and we had taken a wrong diversion , due to which we have ended up at dead end. We may get a chance to go back to the junction again and change the path. The fact is we are not able to too much ahead to decide the correct path to avoid meeting the dead end.
SOmetimes we are tired to think well , as we have not taken proper care of our pattern of life, to take appropriate rest , before taking at the next plunge at every moment of life , when needed.
In fact my writing of this article itself was a result of me getting time to spend early in the morning and not having anything specific to do.
here i would like to give kudos to this website, for encouraging me to fully pen down my views on the various topics and keeping it open to the entire world. In fact am so lazy that am not even editing my articles before posting. am sorry if any reader is having any difficulty in comprehending them . After all, though the first aim of writing is to express our views or thoughts, once we are keeping it in the public site, we have to take care of the viewer's interest.
But again this article itself , viz what is life is intended to just stimulate the thoughts in a persons' mind to kindle him to chnage his perspective of life or encourage him to share his thoughts and views also so that by sharing the knowledge and information, we all can lead a better life.
Coming back to the earlier discussion about utilising the net world of information and its utility and/or applicability for our region , let us analyse it a bit more in detail. For example, a mobile phone with the latest technology can be used for all purposes viz, purchasing anything online, from cow urine, manure for plants, food for today, clothes etc . The list is endless. This is just one area , but takes care of almost all our basic needs in life.
Then come s technology sharing to further invent and upgrade technology. Here for example, Patents play a very pivotal role. This is one area which is very much responsible ,after printing technology , for the exponential growth of technology.
Now coming to the bad side effect of this knowledge sharing . This is happening more nowadays in the area of human health and medicine. more and more information is being shared to the smallest level of individual attention to the information for the bigger institutions. For example , in a socila media, which is very fast in forwarding information and reaching out to people, mentioned that carrots should not be taken more than 200 gms a day. Earlier , we used , atleast myself, to read that the more carrots you eat, the better you can see and avoid glasses for the eyes.
Now they say we have to measure and eat , and not only that , since chemical fertilisers are used in farming , we have to buy organic farm produce. Now the basic question for the common man is , how he is going to differentiate the correct items. Now one more issue has come out, viz colouring the vegetables to attract the eyes.. Also artificial ripening. Of course , what is written here, may not apply to the entire world, but information dissemination is so fast , this can spread far and wide.

Nothing makes you feel quite as refreshed and alert as a good night’s sleep, but as we get older, getting a satisfactory kip can become more difficult.
Many people notice that, with age, they find it harder to sleep through the night, or start waking very early – but why?
We asked sleep consultant Maryanne Taylor to explain how getting older can affect your sleep patterns.
For some people, they may just notice a slight change in their circadian rhythm, which often means feeling sleepier in the evening and waking earlier in the morning. The circadian rhythm coordinates our bodily functions, including sleep, and this shifts as we get older.
Others may notice more serious insomnia, which can either be chronic (lasting over one month) or acute (lasting a few days or weeks). If you are having serious problems with your sleep, you should always consult your GP.
There are also several conditions that are more prevalent in older people which can also disrupt sleep. These include Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), a neurological movement disorder which causes a feeling of tingling, creeping or pulling in the legs.
The symptoms of the menopause - hot flushes, decreasing hormone levels and changes in weight - can also impact sleep.
-Get outside in natural light at least once a day, as this helps set your circadian rhythm.
-Go to bed around the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning.
-Follow the same evening routine leading up to bedtime.
-Keep the bedroom cool, quiet and dark in the evening and night.
-Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the afternoon.
-Only take short naps – less than 30 minutes – during the afternoon. Too late a nap will decrease your night-time sleep.

Melody Gray visits New York City for her best friend’s wedding, meeting tennis pro John Spencer at the train station, stopping him from running away. She wishes she could stay with him instead of returning to her abusive father in West Virginia. But her father needs her to take care of him and John's mother hates Melody. She has to leave the man she loves, to go back to her lonely life.
Markee writes romances, and also writes as all the author names on SweetTaleBooks.com. Writing is escapism, at its finest. It's like playing with dolls all over again--giving them a life, problems, a past...and it all happens in her head, keeping her entertained.
Great story! How love and friendship, and determination will lead people to each other! I fully enjoyed this romance. From the beautiful naive southern gal, wanting to deny her feelings and stand on her own, to the jet setting pro-sports hero that saves her from the world and her family! A true love story, versus a lust story!
This is a good story and the author handled a tough topic realistically. I wanted to keep reading till I found out what choices the characters made. Will be looking for more from this author.

Digital consultancy Revel Consulting has named Harsh Parikh managing director. Parikh brings nearly 20 years’ experience developing high-end technological solutions for a wide range of clients to the table as Revel marches forward with its ambitious growth strategy.
A full-service digital consultancy, Revel was launched as CRM Consulting in 2006 and rebranded two years later in response to B2B demands for advanced digital infrastructure solutions. Strong growth in the decade since reached one of several peaks in 2016 when Revel outgrew its roots in suburban Seattle and doubled its square footage with a new headquarters in the bustling Belltown neighborhood.
That year also saw Revel expand its presence across San Francisco and the Bay Area, where it acquired Two Shea Consulting – a tech consultancy servicing Silicon Valley clients. Revel’s B2B consulting pedigree now includes work with clients as prestigious and varied as Microsoft, PayPal, Yahoo, Samsung, and Expedia.
Parikh’s hiring as Managing Director for Technology comes hot on the heels of the appointment of David Overcash as Chief Commercial Officer. Both men will report to Vikas Kamran, CEO and co-founder, and formerly a Senior Manager at Accenture. Parikh and Overcash are expected to work together to blend growth strategies with the evolution of new technological solutions for clients.
Having kick-started his career with roles at Accenture and Microsoft, Parikh has developed expertise in digital marketing, enterprise solution architecture, CMS platforms and tech strategies and roadmaps.
Parikh is a seasoned technology executive with nearly 20 years of experience leading large engineering teams, architecting complex technical solutions across multiple service offerings and platforms, and building and scaling geographically distributed teams to deliver them. His most recent role was as Senior Technology Director at SapientRazorfish, where he spent ten years.
“Harsh is a true leader who knows what it takes to build teams that can architect, implement and run comprehensive digital transformation initiatives, and we’re excited to have him on board,” said Kamran.

text: Vassilis Gkisakis: Will hi-tech save agriculture from its otherwise intractable problems? Certainly technological stakeholders want it to appear so, as digitisation increases both in the fields and in the policy documents and future plans for the sector. Hi-tech solutions are promoted as unavoidable and necessary and are broadly publicised as the ultimate innovative path for the modernization of farming. In the quest for increased productivity, reduced costs and, notably, environmental sustainability, agtech is a core part of the answer – frοm the Commission to the companies invested in it.

Hey 4th Graders!! My name is Mrs. Kate Howell, and I am so excited to start my first year at Oakland Avenue Charter School!
I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Music from Utah State University. This will be my fourth year of teaching fourth grade. I just think that fourth grade is the best grade to teach, and I am super jazzed for this new year to start.
I moved here from Utah this summer for my husband's job. So far, I am falling in love with Florida greenery and the beaches close by! I am also looking forward to a winter with no snow.
I graduated in May 2015 right after getting married to my best friend. His name is Benjamin, and he earned his college degree to be a helicopter pilot! He got a job here in Florida as a helicopter pilot at a tour company based in Clermont, Kissimmee and Daytona.
My husband and I like to play pickle ball, go on road trips, go camping, take picnics, go hiking, go to concerts, and read books together. As for me, I have some other interests of my own. I love to swim, play the piano, listen to amazing music, sing in the car, learn to code/program, take pictures of pretty places, READ BOOKS, eat Krispy Kreme donuts, laugh at funny T.V. shows, go river rafting with my family, try to knit, decorate my house and my classroom, and learn from my amazing students.
I can’t wait to get to know you all better. Here’s to a great new year!!

The 2018 Primeur Campaign is ready to kick off and you have probably heard a lot already about the quality of this Vintage.

Fans of the famous pop star Beyonce are taking to social media to “investigate” who bit her after it was reported that she was bitten on the face at an after party. This is news! Come on you people of the Bey-hive, it’s time to split up and look for clues!
Actress Tiffany Haddish revealed details about the strange incident during an interview with GQ, but did not name the culprit. Two other actresses have denied responsibility following social media speculation, and now #WhoBitBeyonce is now trending on Twitter with fans (and even a few celebrities) attempting to track down the person responsible. Did it hurt, or was it just a lovers’ bite?
However, the star’s representative told GQ that they were not aware of the incident with the unnamed actress. So far, we know it’s an actress, but that’s about the only lead anyone has, unfortunately. Many people on Twitter began speculating and playing detective on who bit their “queen” Beyonce.
Also jumping in on the online investigation was the stranded and assets frozen Chrissy Teigen (who’s also been a suspect of another extensive and very serious investigation for quite some time now), who revealed her suspicions on who bit Beyonce, but did not name any names. She stated that her original guess was incorrect, and that she knew who the real culprit was, but once again, did not name any names. If you look at the replies, you’ll see many fans begging her to reveal who it is. Chrissy Teigen also hinted that she wouldn’t leave this planet until she knew who it was, which makes us wonder as to which planet Chrissy Teigen thinks that she’s really going to? Anyway, let’s see the tweet storm, shall we?
I can only think of one person who would do this. but I cannot say. but she….is the worst.
I AM NEVER TELLING I’m scared I’ve said too much KNOWLEDGE IS A CURSE!
Other celebrities, including James Franco, Rihanna, French Montana and Diddy supposedly attended this party too, but were found to be innocent. The first lead to the culprit was 90210 star, Sara Foster. However, Sara quickly made it clear that it was not her, noting that it was “flattering” that anyone thinks that she would get that close to Beyonce.
Flattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to Beyoncé.
The speculation is still continuing, and people may have to wait a little while until they finally find out who the culprit was. We’re sure that it will be revealed some day.
Sarah Michelle Gellar was clearly posting it all in good fun, as this latest twitter hashtag investigation continues, but whoever did bite world-renowned artist Beyonce in the face, surely must have had a good reason for doing so, or maybe they just had a lot of cojones! Who knows what was really going down at this party and why anyone would feel the need to bite Beyonce in the face, thus upsetting the legion of fans in the Beyhive in the process.
Who did it? Answers on an Illuminati postcard please! Perhaps they just need to send in Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine team, with Shaggy, Velma, and Fred ready to investigate this unspeakable crime. Maybe Sarah Michelle Gellar (Daphne) could even provide their cell phone numbers. Watch this space as the investigation unfolds!
Who do you think is guilty of biting Beyonce in the face at that after party? Do you have some inside information on this or do you know somebody that does? Perhaps you were there and even witnessed it with your own eyes? Please tell us all the gossip or your opinion down in the comments section below.

Folk-rock in the tradition of 70's records by Neil Young and Jackson Browne.
This is the debut CD by this critically- acclaimed and prolific artist. It is raw and quirky. It covers quite a bit of musical territory. It was selt-produced in his home studio (which was actually in a friend's grandmother's basement.) It is lo-fi, but a cool record with a 70's folk-rock vibe.
"Don't expect the hands-off, antiseptic quality of a big, slick, 68-track studio album. This CD has an earthy, straw-like smell for your ears. It has the grazing touch of a brick wall against the back of your hand. It has very ball-point-pen-on-blue-lined-paper written lyrics. It's honest and quirky."
"Peekskill resident Fred Gillen Jr. really gets a chance to shine on the final track from 'Intentions As Big As The Sky.' It is Gillen a capella- robust with twangy emotion, growls and moans. An extremely advanced songwriter, a la Warren Zevon, Randy Newman, or John Hyatt, this tunesmith's songs are the true focus of the CD, not the recording. Compositions such as the stellar 'Monument' and 'Girl Of Every Boy's Dreams' make this disc an important milestone in local music."
