Biz Buzz: Accolades for SLO downtown design
San Luis Obispo's downtown Court Street has been honored for its innovative design and development by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
Developed by Tom and Jim Copeland and designed by architect Mark Rawson, Court Street is an open-air shopping center located on the site of a former parking lot in the historic district of downtown San Luis Obispo.
The retail area, built in 2006, received the ICSC's Gold Award because of its compatibility with surrounding historic buildings, according to a press release issued by the council.
The center was also recognized because it has the look of being several buildings, including a stairway up to the second level, when the project is actually only one three-story building. Because of this, the center blends well with the scale and variety of the surrounding areas and creates a number of pedestrian walkways and sitting areas, the council said.
Rawson received the award earlier this month at a ceremony in Phoenix.
Rawson and the Copelands received a similar award in 1996 for their development of San Luis Obispo's Downtown Centre, with its theaters, restaurants and stores.
Some of the themes are similar with their innovative use of stairs (in the Downtown Centre they lead down to the theater level), terraces and walkways that help break up the scale of the project and attract people downtown and encourage them to stay awhile, Rawson said.
The next major Copeland/Rawson project downtown will be the Chinatown project with hotel, condos, retail and restaurants between Monterey and Palm streets near the courthouse. Chinatown will have similarly styled outside spaces encouraging visitors to sit a spell, Rawson said. Chinatown may begin on Monterey Street as early as the middle of 2010, he added.
The ICSC U.S. Design and Development Awards competition was open to shopping center owners, developers, management companies, architects, designers, retailers or other professionals responsible for any retail project or retail store design that demonstrated unusual development or redevelopment characteristics with a high degree of creativity and uniqueness. The competition was open to entrants within the continental United States.
ICSC is the shopping center industry's trade association. Its 60,000 members in more than 80 countries include shopping center owners, developers, managers, marketing specialists, investors, retailers and brokers, as well as academics and public officials.

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on
its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good
deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
~Matthew 5:14-16
When my husband and I were first married we were given a wooden bread box as a wedding gift. To be honest, we didn't use it very often. Right from the beginning, neither of us has ever been much of a bread eater. Over the years I've thrown away hundreds of half used, stale loaves of bread. So, it wasn't all that surprising when, after several months of marriage, I opened the rarely used box to find a very old—very green—long forgotten and long since dead, moldy, mildewed loaf of bread. I'd never seen anything quite so disgusting in my life.
Did you know that mold and mildew—decay and deterioration—thrive
in darkness? Light hampers the growth of the bacteria that causes mold. Light
holds the destruction at bay…
Not only is our Christian "light" meant to lead others out of the "darkness" of
sin, but it's meant to hold that same darkness at bay. Our "light"…the glory of
God personified in us…hampers the decay of the world. It shines upon the evil
and forces it back.
So, keep on shining! Be the light in a world of darkness.

You might not realize just how distorted your music might be when you play it through a traditional speaker until you hear it through the Astro Pure Audio Speaker that uses hardware instead of software to keep music in its current form rather than change it to suit the speaker.
Speakers use software to change the way music sounds, so that when played on the equipment it will sound as good as possible; this is simply like trying to fit every song in your music collection into one genre. The Astro Pure Audio Speaker takes the approach of changing the hardware to suit your music rather than the other way around.
Packed with Bluetooth connectivity, the Astro Pure Audio Speaker will work with a wide range of devices.

Kings of Chaos 2014 - Sun City - 29.11.2014
The night has finally come. Tonight we get to see some of the world's greatest Rock Stars perform live at the Sun City Superbowl, we are all expecting an amazing performance. The artist's line-up includes the all too familiar face of Aerosmith frontman, Steven Tyler. Guns N' Roses legends Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Duff McKagan. The illustrious and renowned guitarist Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Robin Zander lead singer from Cheap Trick and Nuno Bettencourt, the remarkably talented guitarist from Extreme. Tonight also marks the night of a new venture between Rite Studios & DK Expressions. We have cofounded a new company called Rite Expressions #ritexpr and together we shall strive to be South Africa's premiere, celebrity videography, photography & Expressions Experts.
The atmosphere can only be described as frenzy. There are fans everywhere! Rockers, head bangers, moshers and everything in between! The fans have turned out in numbers to support their idols. This might be their only chance to see any of these artists live in SA again and it's doubtful that this line-up of a lifetime, will ever be duplicated anywhere else in the world. What an incredible vibe! The whole of Sun Ctiy is pulsing with excitement. The lines have been building throughout the afternoon and as the time approaches for the show to start, the anticipation in the air is intense.
So as expected this has fast become a seriously impressive performance, the set-list is awesome and the first songs that they played were; 'Hello', 'Surrender', 'I Want You to Want Me' ,performed by Cheap Trick frontman Zander. 'It's So Easy', played by Duff. Matt Sorum then introduces iconic ZZ Top founding member, Billy Gibbons, who starts jamming 'Waitin' On The Bus'. The crowd is ecstatic. What a sight to see. He then go's straight into the next top hits, 'Foxy Lady' and after that 'Le Grange', both performed with precision and mastery, you can tell he's played that guitar more than a few times.
Billy then introduces Mr Steven Tyler. The crowd is beyond excited and Steven does not disappoint. He walks in dragging his microphone behind him by his scarf, what a personality, what an entertainer! You can feel his presence clear across the room. Steven then begins his performance with 'Back In The Saddle' & 'Toy in the Attic'. Wow this is turning out to be a spectacular night, the crowd looks completely enthralled.
After an acoustic breakdown, the audience was treated to Zander performing 'The Flame', Billy Gibbon's playing 'Jesus Left Chicago' & 'Blues Jam' and 'Knockin' on Heavens Door' performed by Zander, Gilby Clarke as well as Billy Gibbons. Nuno then dazzles the crowd with an awe inspiring solo, man this guy can strum a guitar! Turning to Steven Tyler, Nuno steps forward and together they perform an absolutely moving rendition of 'More Than Words' & 'Miss a Thing'.
What a show so far. Everybody is dancing and jamming and you can tell a great time is being had by all. And it doesn't stop here. Now Zander begins to jam a couple of classics, 'Dream police', 'Ain't That a Shame' & 'Brownstone'. Followed directly by Billy Gibbons playing 'Cheap Sunglasses', he has a smooth, gruff voice that booms through the air with a blues built prowess! Gibbons asks Zander to come back to the stage for them to jam 'Tush' together. What a sight to see all these Rock Stars, up on stage together, rocking like machines! Gibbons then gets Tyler back out so that they can play 'Sharp Dressed Man', they on stage chemistry of all these guys is great! You can see they are having loads of fun and the crowd can feel it to!
Tyler steps forward and using that powerful voice, totally commands the arena. He sings 'Dream On' & 'Sweet Emotion' to end the set and sweeps everybody of their feet with his performance. The crowd is cheering and it's fairly deafening, clearly they enjoyed. As always the crowd demands an Encore and The Kings do not disappoint. The Kings of Chaos live in SA, what a show, ending an amazing night with 'Whole Lotta Love', 'Come Together', & 'Walk this Way'.

Any help would be appericated. I'm going to see if I can figure out 19.) by myself right now, so I'll update it if I figure it out before someone answers incase anyone else is having trouble with a question like this.
UPDATE - I did them both, I don't know if they are done correctly though.
21.) Interpret the following probability statement into words. Is this an example of mutually exclusive events? Explain.
EDIT - The probability of A union B is equivalent to the difference of probability of product of probability of A and probability of B and, the probability of A intersetion B.
A company has two factories that manufacture light bulbs. Suppose that 55% of the light bulbs are
manufactured in factory A and 45% come from factory B. In factory A 0.7% of the bulbs are defective and in factory B 0.3% of the bulbs are defective. Suppose a defective light bulb is discovered. What is the probability that the defective bulb came from factory B?
EDIT - P(B | defective) = P(B & defective) / P(defective) = 0.135/0.52 = 0.2596 or 25.96%
I think that is correct?
Let us suppose that 100000 total bulbs are manufactured by both factories...55000 by A and 45000 by B
So.....the number of defects are 55000 * .007 + 45000 * .003 = 520
So....out of the 520 defects........45000*.003 = 135 come from B
So.....the probability that a defective bulb comes from B given that we have a defective bulb is just
135 / 520 = .2596
Just as you found !!!

Shalosh is a New York and Israel based, genrebending, Acoustic, Progressive, raw Jazz band, that has been turning heads of audiences internationally since the release of their debut album "The Bell Garden". Despite the classic Jazz trio format (piano, bass and drums) and the band members' deep root in Jazz and improvised music, Shalosh's music takes its own path across and between genres like Rock, Classical, Electronic, African and Middle Eastern music.
The members of Shalosh have a connection not only through music, but also lifelong friendships. After years of working separately and internationally, both as sidemen as well as band leaders, the three reunited this year to form a band with a tightknit style of their own. Already in this short time, after producing their debut album, Shalosh has generated a huge buzz around the world. Their music has grabbed attention in Europe, Japan, U.S.A and South America, and has been marked by the press, as one of the most prominent promising sounds of years to come. The band's agenda is to make music that moves its audience in the greatest way possible, in order to break through the barrier created between the music and the listener, which is often found in intellectual music of this genre. Shalosh places as much emphasis on their collective sound as on individual virtuosity.
Shalosh very much stands out from today's Jazz scene, mainly due to the fact it is not led by a single artist, but coled by its three members who enjoy an artistic evolution from years of collaborations and friendship. As a result, Their music is derived from a deep place of musical friendship and is aimed towards the deepest and purest place within.

Rumblings of thunder tumble from the clouds like grumbles of doom as the doors of Heaven creak open. A crescendo of rain splatters the flags and ricochets in coronets of water. Wands of lightning scream like missiles, zinging across the carbon sky.
In the centre of a drunken town a young man raves to a gathering crowd: 'And I, the mighty Heracles, I feel the Hydra's poison seeping like acid into my veins. How piteous my plight! My skin corrodes; flesh melts and sinew dissolves. See the cream of my bones poking through the gore.'
Electric domes spin silently, strobing cobalt blue on rubber-stretched faces. The looming officers are dressed for war and have back-up: a tinny voice and an alien language spat through the nostrils of an automaton woman: 'Negative Yankee Bravo 3. No record of anyone matching that description. Suggest you action Section 136 and take him to nearest designated place of safety.'
'Leave me you creatures, return to your mountain,' the wailing man begs, dropping hard on his knees in splashes of gutter puddles. 'Send me Poeas to torch my pyre that I might fling my dying body in the flames.'
'What is your name?' the chief centaur demands, his thick arms inked with ancient symbols.
'My name?' the man mocks, leaping to his feet. 'My name is Heracles!' he screams into the centaur's face, his words flung fearlessly in gobs of spittle.
The officer's face contorts with anger and disgust. He and his comrades grab the man's arms and wheel him round, crashing him face first onto the pavement with a sickening thud. Wrists lashed tight, they drag him to their chariot and bundle him inside.
The throng of people begin to disperse. Some are laughing and shaking their heads, some are singing and making lewd comments. Others drift away, unconcerned. One person, a woman, weeps softly as she holds the man's tattered jacket to her breast.
'Yankee Bravo 3, disturbance reported on the Mount Oeta estate, please detour and attend.'
'Roger Charlie Echo 7. On our way.'
Sirens howl down waterlogged streets, spraying eerie shifts of Doppler in their wake. Revs of adrenalin, tyre-screech turns in a macho blaze of thrust.
'Charlie Echo 7, arrived at the Mount Oeta estate, vehicle alight behind disused garages but no sign of suspects or any other emergency vehicles. Will take a closer look, over.'
A quantum crackle of energy jumps the gap as two realities bump edges. Storms break again and the driving rains of Philoctetes' tears skid in angled slides down the window of the centaurs' chariot: a thousand teardrops, each holding precious the sodium glow that soars many light years to the world of the man's ancestors who have abandoned him now.
Hissing gases, mauve-blue-green. Ash clouds, licks of palsied flame, yellow twists of yang. Splats of falling water fizzing on hot iron. Up in the realms of midnight, a judder, a monumental bang as the firmament is exposed in a blinding flash of glory. Steam. The reek and choke of miasma: burning flesh fusing with hot metal.
'Yankee Bravo 3, requesting an update from the town centre disturbance. Are you still en route to place of safety?'
'Negative, Charlie Echo 7. Young man clearly thought-disordered and hallucinating. Aborted section 136, chose parallel section of immolation. It's what he would have wanted. We have served Zeus.'

Technology is changing our lives in nearly every facet including the way we drive and for many who work in the transportation industry major changes and eliminations will eventually take place in industry positions. Employees of various industries are concerned that their jobs could be replaced by driverless technology. These concerns according to the technology industry are premature and Huffington Post who has followed the driverless cars story explains that the technology is inevitable and will replace jobs but it will be more like a marathon than a sprint in arriving. Employees in the transportation industry have plenty of time to come up with a plan.
With Tesla announcing its release of the autopilot function on their Electric Cars this summer we are speeding faster toward driverless cars on a personal level than most could have imagined. Google announced that it will also be launching their driverless cars this summer in California. Of course, "safety drivers" on board will be available to assist and the cars will be slowly moving along at 25mph.
According to Google from a post on their blog: "…and during this next phase of our project we'll have safety drivers aboard with a removable steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal that allow them to take over driving if needed. We're looking forward to learning how the community perceives and interacts with the vehicles, and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle—e.g., where it should stop if it can't stop at its exact destination due to construction or congestion."
In the meantime, as we await the driverless cars, hands free experience, to allow us the freedom to text, email, take conference calls and chat with our buddy on FB (hopefully without any legal limits) we have the Auto Industry offering new online capabilities in our vehicles with a touch of a finger at an app ready console.
GMC and Buick are kicking off their 2016 models with many of the comforts of home and office. Here are some of the latest inclusion of high tech in the auto industry one can celebrate in the coming year:
"Apple CarPlay takes the iPhone features customers want to access while driving and puts them on the vehicle's display in a smart, simple manner. This allows drivers to make calls, send and receive messages and listen to music right from the touchscreen or by voice via Siri. Apple CarPlay-supported apps include Phone, Messages, Maps, Music and compatible third-party apps. A full list of those apps can be found at Apple.com/ios/carplay. Apple CarPlay is compatible with iOS 7.1 or higher.
Android Auto is built around Google Maps, Google Now and the ability to talk to Google, as well as a growing audio and messaging app ecosystem that includes WhatsApp, Skype, Google Play Music, Spotify and podcast players. A full list of supported apps is available at g.co/androidauto. Android Auto requires a phone running an Android Lollipop 5.0 operating system or higher." See Buick.com and GMC.com for more details.
Prepare yourself for the ultimate driving experience with the anticipation of driverless cars without limitation in using the technology that makes the world go round!

A-list cinema stars have lent heartfelt personal support to a Lennoxtown woman's unique fundraising tribute to her much-loved brother.
Kenneth Turlewicz suffered from heart disease and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) most of his life, and tragically died an untimely death ten years ago.
His sister Ilona Wewiorski wanted to do something special to mark the anniversary of his passing, and decided to stage a fundraiser based on a film theme, as cinema was one of the greatest loves of his life.
So she set about organising a private screening of his favourite film, Amadeus - a fictional account of the life of Mozart - in the Glasgow Film Theatre.
However she was bowled over when letters she sent to some of the central figures in Amadeus (1984) were answered in person.
Ilona said: "I received a message of support from Milos Forman, the director of the film, as well as from the renowned and much respected actor, Roy Dotrice, who plays Mozart's father in the film and the equally prestigious Simon Callow – and these were read out on the day.
"As was a lovely story by Elizabeth Berridge, who plays Mozart's wife, Constanze in the film, who wrote to me directly about how she got the part".
Ilona is now almost half way towards her £3,000 target for the charities Shelter and OCD Action.
She said: "As Kenny's sister, I wanted to mark the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his death on behalf of all close family and friends who knew him and who still struggle with his loss.
"He was a highly intelligent, creative and good person who cared about so many causes, but he had a particular concern for the homeless.
"He found it hard to pass a beggar on the street and always gave what little he had, even when that left him with only his bus fare home.
"Kenny didn't get the chance to fulfil the truly great things which he was capable of and, I feel, was destined to achieve, had it not been due to the unfair and terrible afflictions of heart disease and OCD which he endured throughout most of his life."
The fund is still open at https://mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/ilonawewiorski

According to the new post visualization map on WordPress, apparently I have been absolutely terrible at posting this month.
I will blame that 100% on Minnesota's gorgeous summer weather and the fact that we have been busy living life outside instead of on the internet. What else is new?
- I now own two Contigo water bottles. I saw them on an end cap at Target and now have one on my desk at work and the other on my nightstand at home. You can open the top canteen-style, or you can open the top cup-style where the cozy ends to drink like…a cup or to fill easily with ice. Anyway, I really love them. I think you would probably really love them too.
- I went to my 6 month follow-up dermatology appointment. I didn't need to have any moles removed, so I am extremely thankful about that. I'll just take a brief moment to do a PSA about skin checks. If you have never been to a dermatologist before to get your body mapped, you really should. It is painless and it is fast. Melanoma is not a joke, early detection is important.
- Speaking of skin, I've been trying really hard to be sun-conscious this summer because this is the rest of my life. Most of this involves pretty basic stuff like…Sitting In The Shade, or putting on sunscreen before I run outside. But I also invested in a facial sunscreen/moisturizer that I'm pretty pleased with because I did not own one of those before. It's Up&Up Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen.
- Since it's summer, American Ninja Warrior is back, and we cannot stop watching. It's pretty awesome. I am endlessly fascinated by the "ninjas" who build their own obstacle courses to train on in the off-season.
- We celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary last Friday! It's crazy to think that it has been four years, but it also doesn't feel like that long at all. The celebration wasn't too wild, but we went to a lovely dinner at Restaurant Alma in Minneapolis, and then we took a walk over the Mississippi River on the Stone Arch Bridge.

The night was a rip-roaring success and one of the best new years I have ever had. The venue was to capacity and the crowd where excellently turned out in their best party threads, the whole thing was like the rave scenes in misfits, something I have been watching with a bit of envy as I feared Glasgow may no longer have it in it to throw a bloody good rave....how wrong I was.
Unfortunately the ravages of alcohol means a lot of the night is a hazy blur of being at the bar, a hundred new years kisses and banter galore in the smoking area, I don't smoke but I do have a relentless ability to talk shite with the smokers, they tend to have the best chat. What I do remember is for the last hour when the Thunder Disco boys took to the decks, the dance floor became a heaving movement of thrusting, swinging, cheering, disco dancing divas. The lads included. The place went wild and the boys had to play two encore's, a tremendous night, literally can't wait for the first Thundercat assault of 2011.

Three CRPF personnel injured in naxal attack in Jharkhand
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Daltonganj (Jharkhand) [India], Apr 24 (ANI): At least three Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured in a naxal attack in the Daltonganj area of Jharkhand on Monday. According to preliminary reports, the three injured personnel belonged to the Jharkhand-based Jaguar Commandoes. They were attacked by naxals in the Pipardhaba area of Daltonganj of Jharkhand. One MI-17 has been launched from Ranchi to bring the injured CRPF personnel back from the encounter spot. Further details are awaited. The Jharkhand incident was reported shortly after 26 CRPF personnel were killed in a separate encounter in neighbouring Chhattisgarh state by naxals while being involved in road construction and clearing activity in Sukma district. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh is on his way to Raipur to preside over an emergency meeting of officials to determine counter-strategies and a review of the law and order situation in the state. The incident in Chhattisgarh has been widely condemened by the political leadership, irrespective of party affiliation. Minister of State for Home Hansraj Ahir is heading to Raipur tomorrow to pay his respects to the dead CRPF soldiers and review the overall security situation with the state government. The Centre is also monitoring the developments post the tragic incident with Chief Minister Raman Singh. (ANI)

Neve Gordon is an Israeli academic and is the author of Israel's Occupation, University of California Press, 2008. His website is israeloccupation.com
Neve Gordon: Our farewell picnic to Ezra Nawi before his prison term for peaceful protest carried a new message to most Israeli picnics
Neve Gordon: Palestinians have a long history of nonviolent resistance but Israel has continuously deployed methods to destroy it
Neve Gordon: For the sake of our children, I am convinced that an international boycott is the only way to save Israel from itself
Neve Gordon: Ezra Nawi was ridiculed and arrested for trying to protect people's homes. Only international attention can help him now
Neve Gordon: Thanks to Binyamin Netanyahu's overweening ambition, Israel is to be saddled with a foreign minister who is a national disgrace
Neve Gordon and Yigal Bronner: War is teaching the children of Israel and Gaza that the other side is a bloodthirsty monster, and destroying any desire for peace
Neve Gordon: Claim moral superiority, intimidate enemies and crush dissent – Israel's media management is not just impressive, it's terrifying
Neve Gordon: Israel seems more concerned with electoral politics and restoring its military reputation than stopping the Qassam rockets
Neve Gordon: Israel's problem is that it wants Palestinian land but not the people who live on it
Neve Gordon and Erez Tzfadia: Increasingly, Israel is handing over its 'Judaisation' project to private firms - leading to a corrosion of accountability
A battle is being waged in the Israeli courts against anarchists who help Palestinian villagers.
Neve Gordon: Accusations of subversion against a Palestinian MP in Israel are about resistance to democratic change.

This year, in Birmingham, top buy to let professionals from around the country gathered to discuss the changes the market has seen over the last few years and their strategies and offers to consumers and mortgage brokers going forward. It was interesting to see the divergence between those looking to approach this with an entirely prime buy to let offering such as Accord and those looking to tackle all the niche areas such as HMO Mortgages and Limited Company Mortgages (Paragon and Complete).
Aldermore Bank Buy To Let Presentation
First up in the session we attended was Aldermore. Rob Barnard, the Head of Intermediary Sales for the Bank was there to explain the challenges of launching a new lender in these difficult times and the approach they have taken to carve out a place for themselves in the specialist buy to let market. The first thing that is worth noting is that they are a real bank. Unlike many new lenders which rely entirely on the wholesale money markets just as the now defunct Northern Rock used to before the crisis, Aldermore has savers. They are all attracted through the internet and some of the rates offered are very competitive. This allows them to fund their own lending and be much less dependent on the whimsical nature of the London finance markets. One of the big parts of the Aldermore offering is they don't credit score as Rob Explained.
Refer meant 'no' with many lenders [who credit score] … our book is performing really well considering we aren't using the crutch of a credit score we're delighted with how it's doing
Rob Barnard, Head of Intermediary Sales, Aldermore
For those of you who like your quirky facts, Aldermore means: "A tree that thrives in arid territories". Just about every niche in the specialist buy to let arena is covered by Aldermore but here are a few highlights:
- No Credit Scoring
- HMO Mortgages
- Limited Company Mortgages
- A Couple of Missed Credit Card Payments
- Only Deal With Brokers / Financial Advisers
Accord Mortgages: Prime Buy to Let Offering
The second presentation was led by Jeremy Law from Accord. They have taken the absolute opposite strategy and are looking to tackle the 'superprime' sector of the buy to let market. They will be looking to offer innovation and price driven competition to the clean end of the market. They presented some interesting survey findings which are outlined below:
- 69% of buy to let properties have a mortgage
- Half have had arrears at some point
- The biggest reason for choosing a lender was mortgage broker advice
Jeremy also announced some good news for landlords when it came to future product innovation by the Yorkshire Building Society owned lender. Their feeling is that current niche areas such as Limited Company Buy to Let are unlikely to be considered niche for much longer as the risks are basically the same. He also felt that demand for 'cashback mortgages' and other price driven products would likely increase significantly in 2012.
The Complete Picture
Complete are similar to the brokers that support enquiries here at ProBuyToLet in that they deal with all the lenders on the market, however unlike our brokers they don't deal with the public. Instead they help smaller brokers handle niche cases effectively and take care of lender relations for them. As a result they have significant experience in the market. They primarily highlighted the areas of big growth which at the moment included the small building societies which have started to focus more on holiday lets (Bath for example) and the huge move towards HMO mortgages by landlords seeking the higher yields that multiple occupancy property can deliver.
Paragon Buy to Let: Another Specialist Offering
Paragon are largely in the same market as Aldermore focussing on HMO Mortgages and Limited Company Mortgages. One of the big differences is that they are really looking to avoid any of the patchier credit cases and they do credit score. Their presentation was more focussed on the reasons why the buy to let market is currently so strong. They highlighted the changing social conditions, higher divorce rate and more young people choosing to live alone as big factors in the increased demand for flexible rented property. Towns with high levels of Polish immigration were also seen as booming areas for rental demand. Perhaps something landlords need to keep a close eye on as workers moving into an area not only results in higher short term demand but is an indication of the availability of jobs and work which will sustain demand in the longer term.
So that's it, a complete round up of the presentations and discussion at the Birmingham 2012 Buy to Let Forum. If you need some advice from a whole of market buy to let broker, give us a call now or fill in our short enquiry form.

The Seminoles offensive line remains a work in progress.
Sophomore offensive guard Garrett Faircloth returned to contact practice this week for the first time since suffering a concussion last Monday. Faircloth's return is especially critical, with senior right guard David Spurlock nursing a sore right knee. He spent the day working at Spurlock's right guard spot, alongside freshman Bobby Hart who will make his second consecutive start in Andrew Datko's absence.
"He was good," Fisher said of Faircloth, who has spent time as a backup guard and tackle throughout his career. "It was great to see him out there and he had a very good day. I never noticed him and sometimes with linemen – one of the good things about them until you watch the film – don't notice them. That means no mistakes are being made. It was a good sign."
Datko likely will miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury.
Spurlock and left tackle Zebrie Sanders are the lone offensive linemen who have started all five games in the same spot. That line has struggled, allowing 14 sacks, second most in the ACC, and having difficulty run blocking. The Seminoles are ranked No. 112 in the country in rushing with 85.6 yards per game.
Fisher is encouraged with Hart's progress.
"He's playing well and getting better every day," Fisher said of the 17-year-old. "I like his attitude. He's extremely athletic, extremely smart. He's just a young guy that needs reps.
"He's like any freshmen. He's been in a good (high school) program and I think that has a lot to do with it. He's played high level ball and knows how to be coached. It says a lot about him."

Passengers enjoying Rovos Rail's luxury train accommodation will come across their first safari stop at the famous Nambiti Conservancy Game Reserve. A memorable experience awaits visitors entering the Big Five private bush retreat which is found nestled on 20 000 acres of malaria-free bushveld in the historically rich KwaZulu-Natal region.
Often considered one of the top private bush retreats in Africa, stepping into the Nambiti Conservancy will make the hustle and bustle of South African cities seem like a million miles away. An incredible biodiversity welcomes visitors, offering shade under tall acacia trees and limitless space in the midst of savannah regions, thornveld regions and extensive grasslands which mirror the plains of central Africa.
Nambiti remains the only reserve in the area to feature the world-famous Big Five. Elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo roam freely in the expansive reserve which is one of the few in Africa to house the space and habitat necessary for species to display their natural tendencies. Herbivores roam in large herds as they would have done for centuries in the wild and predators sweep the land in pursuit of their prey.
The sweet, nutritious vegetation and abundant natural water system sees the reserve supporting up to eight times more animals than other game areas, while allowing for some of the largest game concentration in South Africa. During their game drive, passengers aboard the luxury train journey are likely to spot some of the Big Five as well as cheetah, giraffe, hippo, hyena, impala, springbok and zebra. The Sundays River sweeps through the reserve, dotting the landscape with two 40m waterfalls and magnificent ravine bush which is home to a medley of rare bird species.
The beautiful area around Nambiti has witnessed a wealth of conflict throughout its history, as both the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars took place on the fields and hills surrounding the reserve. Just adjacent to the private game reserve lies the Elandslaagte rail siding which is a historic battle site of the Second Anglo Boer War's Battle of Elandslaagte, which tore up the landscape from 20 to 21 October 1899. It was also in these hills that the mighty Zulu army dominated the battle of Isandlwana by inflicting the greatest defeat the British Empire had ever suffered. Further history was made that very day at the battle of Rorke's Drift where the most number of Victorian Crosses for one battle were awarded.
While the surrounding battlefields speak of the bloody history to claim what the Dutch settlers called "heaven on earth", today the Nambiti Conservancy illustrates a rousing dedication to preserving the wildlife and eco-system that so sacrificially sustains us.

The app world is like the universe: you spend the rest of your life trying, you will never be able to see how big it is. That's why we are usually in shock due to the large amount of apps that we discover every day. The question is: is every application worthy of being downloaded? Here we have chosen the 7 apps that we would never have on our devices in a million of years. Not even if were free or if the developers paid us for having them!
I'm Rich!!
The main difference that we have to clarify before starting is who is rich and who is dumb. I'm Rich!! is an application destined to make you feel richer due to the fact you can pay a high amount of money… and that's literally all there is to it. Cutting to the chase: it cost $999.99 in the App Store and eight people decided to download it during the first day.
I'm Rich!! is an application destined to make you feel richer due to the fact you can pay a high amount of money… and that's literally all there is to it
The iOS version was removed just one day after its release, although it's still available from Google Play. The Android version is divided into four different categories depending on how much money you want to spend in showing you're rich: Blue ($1.00), Pink ($13.00), White ($130.00) and Black ($200.00).
Cow Toss
You have surely said someday: "Wow, I have wasted my time in doing nothing!" With this application, you could say that being completely true. Cow Toss provides you the great (and unforgettable) ability to toss a cow all over your mobile screen. Who hasn't ever wanted to do something like that? That's not all! What's really funny is that it's not free: it costs $0.99. It's clearly an extraordinary investment (I'm being ironic here, of course).
Hold On!
This is one of the apps that I mentioned before: it's free, but I would never get it, not even if the developers pay me for it! Hold On!'s main intention is to see how much time you can press an on-screen button. It saves your results, and you can make competitions with your friends. You are not only wasting your time doing such as a stupid thing, but also your mobile's space!
We should create a specific list just for this application, as the number one of the most absurd apps of the world. In fact, its functions sound like joke, but it exists! Looky predicts the live results while you are typing something you want to look for in Google. The problems are three (and really important ones): the links open up to anyway; you can do so for free in Google's official website; and it costs $2.99. Don't you think it's a joke that the developers have made to app fans?
Have you ever been in danger and you called to the emergency services? What did you think at that moment? According to HelpMe! you may think that it was a really good idea to have an application that facilitates you to call 911.
According to HelpMe! you may think that it was a really good idea to have an application that facilitates you to call 911
As you can suggest, when you are in danger the last thing that you think is to look for the application that it's going to do the same as you would anyway. In addition, if you download it, you probably don't set it on the first page of your mobile's home screen. So, you will lose important time in trying to find it!
Birth Buddy
Women always say that men don't know how much they suffer during the contraction before having a baby. Now, we can know so! Birth Buddy is an interesting application that allows you to have the same feeling than having a baby. Why do we consider it as an absurd application? It's quite intuitive: how many people you know they'll pay $1.99 for suffering these contractions? In addition, you can send the results to your boyfriend/girlfriend, any friend or to a family member. Does anybody want to know if you achieved it or not?
Ghosts on Radar
Are you one of those paranormal activities fanatics? Would like to know if there are ghosts near you? So, this is not your application! It's simple: Ghosts on Radar doesn't find any phantom or something like that, because it is just an app. "Of course, your Android smartphones can not show ghosts, currently it is technically not possible. Note that point in your rating, Ghosts on Radar is explicitly marked as fun app!" are the words you can read from the developers when you press "More info" section in the application. It is mainly software that shows your position and possible ghosts near you. Another ridiculous application that takes up your mobile's space!
These are the 7 most absurd apps that we find, but Internet is full of them. Which one do you recommend us to include in the following article? Is there any app that irritated you when you downloaded it because it was an irrational one? Feel free to tell us your opinion!

Cross with double cross-bar with the name of Abbé Hugo (1174-1205)

Decorative Arts
Middle Ages
The cross of Saint-Vincent de Laon bears an inscription showing that it was made for Abbot Hugo (1174-1205) who directed the reconstruction of the abbey church in Laon. It is the oldest extant example of the many reliquary crosses of the True Cross that had fleurons and filigree ornamentation on the arms. The enamel is typical of Mosan art but the statuettes are in the style of 1200.
Twelfth-century enamel work
The cross stands on a circular base decorated with vine leaves and supported by three small lion's feet. On the vine leaves there are three enamel medallions interspersed by filigree rosettes set with five precious stones. The medallions in champlevé enamel represent Abraham's sacrifice, Joseph sold by his brothers, and the vision of the burning bush. These three medallions may have come from a larger piece of work as the quality of the color range and the handling of the figures link them to Mosan enamels.
A typical example of the 1200 style
The cross itself, with its double crossbar and ends decorated with fleurons, is completely covered on both sides with filigree and cabochons that are typical of early 13th century goldsmith's work. Two branches sprouting from the foot of the cross hold a statuette of St. John and a statuette of the Virgin Mary, handled in a very gentle manner. The same gentleness is found in the flowing lines of Christ's loincloth. In the natural treatment of the human figure and the supple folds of the drapery, the cross of Saint-Vincent de Laon exemplifies the new stylistic trends that appeared in the closing years of the 12th century.
A double-barred reliquary cross
The double-barred cross is of Eastern origin and was widely used for reliquaries of the True Cross in the late twelfth century. This type of cross developed during the twelfth century especially after the capture of Constantinople in 1204, when relics poured back into the West. The sacking of Constantinople during the fourth crusade enabled the Crusaders to seize the treasures of the Byzantine Empire, especially the relics of the True Cross. The cross of Abbot Hugo is the oldest surviving example of these many reliquary crosses containing fragments of the True Cross; they are double barred crosses, with the ends decorated with fleurons or fleur-de-lis, and were made in the West following a Byzantine pattern during the thirteenth century.

HELENA CHRISTENSEN's next project will be for Swedish brand Odd Molly, now that she has signed to be the face of their spring/summer 2009 campaign.
Making her debut with the label at Copenhagen Fashion Week in August, with a presentation at the Hotel D'Angleterre, the supermodel will host the runway show and attend the party that evening.
There will be a photo shoot the same week, to prepare advertisements for publication in leading fashion magazines in the US, England, Italy, Sweden and Denmark, among other countries.
Per Holknekt, Odd Molly's creative director admits that "the decision to contact this dream girl for our campaigns was something of a long shot," it was a gamble that paid off.
"Helena really likes what we do and our partnership is the result of a super simple negotiation," he says. "We have really hit the mark with Helena and she truly embodies our sentiments at Odd Molly, and for that matter, the reverse is also true."
For the ad campaign shoot, which will feature in magazines from January 2009, Helena is being flown in from New York and her photographer, Yelena Yemchuk, from Kiev.

When the nipple is inverted or too big, this can create an undesirable appearance to the breast.
Nipple Correction refers to the correction of an inverted nipple or reducing an enlarged nipple.
The nipple is important for both the appearance and breast feeding function,
so it is important to retain beauty and function.
What is inverted nipple?
It is a condition where the nipple is retracted into the breast instead of pointing outward.
Types of Inverted Nipple
Slightly inverted nipple. With stimulation, nipple is projecting
This condition can be improved with massages or breast excavatum
However, if the process takes a long time, nipple correction is another solution
Projecting with stimulation but duration is very short
This cannot be corrected with massages or excavatum,
so nipple correction is a good solution
Even with stimulation, no response
Besides the nipple correction, there is almost no other solution
How is Nipple Correction done for inverted nipples?
Incise around the nipple area and resect the fibrous tissue. This method can minimize scarring and breast feeding is still possible.
- Before the correction
- Make an incision
around the nipple
- Extend ducts and
push out the nipple
- Stitch up
This method is used when inverting is severe. After the correction, the procedure can have an impact on breast feeding.
- Before correction
- Push out the nipple
- After resecting the duct tissue,
stop the bleeding
- Stitch up
Who needs nipple reduction?
Normal size of nipple is 1 ~ 1.5cm. When the nipple is very big and protruding,
the appearance can be less than desirable and there may also
be problems when breast feeding.
- When genetically large nipple
- When nipple became large after breast feeding
- When nipple shape causes emotional concern and anxiety
Nipple Reduction Method
Partially cut the nipple and stitch to reduce width or length.
- When width of
nipple is long
- When length of
nipple is long
Non-preservation of ducts for no breast feeding
Make V shape incision on top of the nipple.
This method will definitely reduce the size of the nipple but the ability to breast feed will be lost.
- VV shape incision

Ask a Fool: Gilead Sciences on a Downward Trend -- Should I Hold Firm?
In this video as part of The Motley Fool's "Ask a Fool" series, Fool health-care analyst David Williamson takes a question from a Fool reader, who asks, "Gilead Sciences seems to be on a down trend. Is there any specific reason, or should I just hold firm?"
David takes a look at Gilead's downward trend year to date but cautions that this 3% pullback since the beginning of 2014 is much better understood in the context of the stock's meteoric rise over the past 12 months. He then discusses for investors the company's hepatitis C drug Sofosbuvir, sold under the name Sovaldi, and how much of the investing thesis is based around the success of this drug. He notes that while the drug is destined to be a blockbuster with an incredible cure rate, it has its risks that investors need to be aware of. Finally, David looks at Gilead's pipeline, and the future of the company.
What's the best buy in biotech today?
The best way to play the biotech space is to find companies that shun the status quo and instead discover revolutionary, groundbreaking technologies.

Michael, mid 30s
What does a publican do?
Michael is a publican representing the owners of a South Melbourne hotel.
"In the old days the publican always had a beer in their hand chatting with the locals. Quite often they were an ex-footy star or ex-cop - someone to be looked up to as a community leader, but also someone who was a 'good old boy' who liked his drink," Michael smiles.
An intelligent hospitality professional, Michael couldn't be further from the 'good old boy'. Rather than propping up the bar with locals, Michael is more likely to be frantically re-stocking it or cheerfully serving patrons.
So the old stereotype doesn't hold much water? "The nature of the business has changed so much that you can't devote yourself to the social aspects of the job - there's too many other things to do." Rather than the publican being the owner of a pub these days they're more likely to be employees of a bigger company. Michael indicates the main changes are that "there's a lot more professional management structures, and a lot of big organisations that own lots of pubs these days, so they put in full-time managers as publican-managers."
How did you become a publican?
"Like lots of people in hospitality, I started because the hours were suitable for part-time work for a student. So I started as a casual bartender, doing a bit of evenings so I could study at university and it progressed from there," Michael says.
The job appealed so much that Michael has been steadily working his way up through the ranks at his South Melbourne hotel. He now runs the place for the directors, a group who bought the pub and transformed it from a corner pub to a dining pub with a reputation for its food.
What does a typical working day involve?
A publican's daily routine depends on the pub they work in: a larger pub might occupy its publican with paperwork, contacting suppliers and office-based work, while a smaller owner-operated place might see the publican pouring as many beers as signing papers.
Michael's pub sits somewhere between these two. "We operate on a very hands-on system so the publican works on the floor whether that's behind the bar or serving tables as well as stock rotation, receiving kegs. On top of that there's dealing with staff, suppliers and the directors."
What are the people you work with like?
"Generally, people in hospitality tend to be very gregarious - you have to like people and you have to be able to deal with people all the time," Michael says. It's a job that regularly sees you chatting to patrons and making them feel welcome.
But it's not just patrons. "The industry is one where people socialise a lot with each other. There's generally a strong bond, a sense of team, which is good for the operation of the place," Michael suggests.
What sort of training can you get to become a publican?
Several TAFEs, Councils of Adult Education (CAEs) and even universities offer hospitality courses. Michael explains: "In this country it used to be a profession that had no formal qualifications. More and more there are qualifications that you can do to increase employability, but it's still a job where most of it is learnt on the job."
What are some of the pros and cons of the job?
When things go wrong in a pub, it's usually the publican who has to sort them out. "You're in a business that serves alcohol so you get people who you have to stop serving or people who've had too much elsewhere and you have to turn away. And they can be threatening." Fortunately for Michael, these situations are rare in his pub and he has never "had any physical contact with a patron".
On the plus side, Michael does get a real kick out of a shift where everything just falls into place. "The satisfaction of finishing a shift and it all going as well as it could with the minimum staff to maximum figures. Now that sounds very dry, but it's a buzz that everyone gets of being put under the pressure and coming through."

Morris, Newser Staff Posted Jul 16, 2010 9:00 AM CDT 12 comments An assault trial that was under way in Dallas unexpectedly ended yesterday after Nathaniel Tumbwe, who is HIV-positive, copped a plea. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – A Texas man charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon—his penis—pleaded guilty yesterday, unexpectedly ending his trial. Nathaniel Tumbwe, who has said he is an African prince and a doctor, had unprotected sex with a fellow elder at a Dallas megachurch in 2008, knowing he was HIV positive. She did not learn his HIV status until weeks later, reports the Dallas Morning News. Tumbwe agreed to a 15-year sentence, dodging a possible life term if prosecutors had pursued a second charge of aggravated assault. He will be deported to his native Zambia at the conclusion of his sentence. His victim is not HIV positive but must be tested annually for 10 years, Fox affiliate KDFW reports. "How dare you!" she said in court. "God is the judge and the righteousness shall prevail as it has today." (Read more HIV stories.)
