Since a few days, there were rumors floating on the Internet, grabbing everyone's attention that Google will be buying HTC . But we didn't knew the entire story or the truth but today, Google and HTC announced it officially .
This is Google's next move to get into Phone Hardware business directly . We remember that they previously acquired Motorola and sold it later, even tech Giant like Microsoft acquired Nokia's phone division but later sold it to HMD Global and killed Lumia brand but this is not such buyout or acquisition.
Google is just getting the team internally at HTC that is already building the Pixel devices with them .
Just the team working on Pixel devices at HTC are migrating to Google .
This team is led by Rick Osterloh is going to be a part of Google now and a deal for whooping $1.1 Billion was done for this migration . Additionally, Google will be getting a non-exclusive license for HTC intellectual property so that it can be implemented in hardware design at Google .
Now what?
HTC says, that it will look into committing even more on its own HTC branded phones and the HTC Vive, as a part of their Virtual Reality business and all this with the $1.1 Billion cash lying around .
Here is the press release :
Google and HTC Announce US$1.1 Billion Cooperation Agreement
Certain HTC Employees – Many of Whom Worked on Pixel Smartphones – to Join Google Google Receives HTC IP through Non-Exclusive Licensing Agreement
Transaction Reinforces HTC's Commitment to Innovation and Its Branded Smartphone Business
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and TAIPEI, Taiwan – September 21, 2017 – Google (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) and HTC Corporation (TWSE: 2489) today announced a definitive agreement under which certain HTC employees – many of whom are already working with Google to develop Pixel smartphones – will join Google. HTC will receive US$1.1 billion in cash from Google as part of the transaction. Separately, Google will receive a non-exclusive license for HTC intellectual property (IP).
The agreement is a testament to the decade-long strategic relationship between HTC and Google around the development of premium smartphones.
This agreement also supports HTC's continued branded smartphone strategy, enabling a more streamlined product portfolio, greater operational efficiency and financial flexibility. HTC will continue to have best-in-class engineering talent, which is currently working on the next flagship phone, following the successful launch of the HTC U11 earlier this year. HTC will also continue to build the virtual reality ecosystem to grow its VIVE business, while investing in other next- generation technologies, including the Internet of Things, augmented reality and artificial intelligence.
For Google, this agreement further reinforces its commitment to smartphones and overall investment in its emerging hardware business. In addition to the talented and experienced team of professionals, Google will continue to have access to HTC's IP to support the Pixel smartphone family. Additionally, this agreement also represents a significant investment by Google in Taiwan as a key innovation and technology hub.
"As a pioneer of the smartphone market, we are very proud of our history of innovation. Our unmatched smartphone value chain, including our IP portfolio, and world-class talent and system integration capabilities, have supported Google in bolstering the Android market," said Cher Wang, Chairwoman and CEO of HTC. "This agreement is a brilliant next step in our longstanding partnership, enabling Google to supercharge their hardware business while ensuring continued innovation within our HTC smartphone and VIVE virtual reality businesses. We believe HTC is well positioned to maintain our rich legacy of innovation and realize the potential of a new generation of connected products and services."
"HTC has been a longtime partner of Google and has created some of the most beautiful, premium devices on the market," said Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President of Hardware at Google. "We're excited and can't wait to welcome members of the HTC team who will be joining Google to fuel further innovation and future product development in consumer hardware."
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, is expected to close by early 2018.
Evercore served as financial advisor to HTC and Gibson Dunn and Tsar & Tsai acted as legal counsel. Lazard served as financial advisor to Google and Cleary Gottlieb and Lee & Li acted as legal counsel.

Why people fail to improve their memory
It seems that there are so many ways to improve memory and get memory skills. If that is the case, then why do so many people fail to improve their memory? It seems illogical. We have access to so many different books, CDs, software, supplements, pills, games… but really, how many people have actually managed to improve memory with them? How many have improved their memory long-term? Can you really buy a book for $19.99 and dramatically improve your ability to memorize? Here is my take on this subject, as a founder of the School of Phenomenal Memory and an official Memory Improvement Expert on www.selfgrowth.com.
WARNING: Don't waste your hard-earned cash on memory products until you read this!
So, why do people fail to improve their memory? One of the main reasons is a lack of practical training or no practical training at all. You cannot buy a book on bodybuilding and get in shape simply by reading about it. It is clear that knowing about bodybuilding and having a great body are two totally different things, same goes for memory improvement.
It seems that most people don't realize this, or they simply get lost in the hype of commercials or advertisements. Most internet users (it is the information 'super highway,' after all) look for the quick fixes or magic pills which do not produce results. Practical training and experience are the most crucial components of every new skill. The ability to memorize should be natural and effortless like a practical skill, same as reading. When we read, we don't think about the process itself. When we memorize, we should not think about techniques or methods; it should occur as naturally as breathing. It should be fast, efficient, and enjoyable. If you have a true memorization skill, you can memorize anything, including entire books.
Have you failed before with famous mnemonic techniques and methods?
Another trap most people fall into is the lure of mnemonics or memorization techniques. People think that the more techniques they have, the better off they are… so, they gladly buy books with tens and hundreds of memorization techniques. The truth is that 99% of the techniques are inefficient, ineffective simply because they are theoretically outdated, and/or are not based on natural mechanisms of the brain and memory. Here is the link to the free "Secrets of Phenomenal Memory" E-book with all the most effective techniques with explanations as to why they work and how they work.
Unfortunately, great memory is not about right and effective techniques or memory strategies only – that is just the beginning. Plain techniques are useless until they become reflexes – this is only possible to achieve only through practical training.
Recent breakthrough by leading memory experts
Do you know how memory really works? Where exactly do we keep all the information? How do we memorize and forget? It is obvious that, if you don't know how memory works, you cannot create powerful and effective way to improve it. If a theoretical base is unavailable, it means that no effective system for memorization is possible. When you look for a memory improvement product, it is crucial that you check to see if they provide any scientific explanations of their methods and techniques. If you are interested in learning about the latest discoveries from leading memory improvement experts and how memory works you are welcome to download this free "Secrets of Phenomenal Memory" E-book.
How to unleash the latent powers of your memory?
Here are few essential factors you need to pay attention to before spending your money on a memory improvement company and their products:
● Real brain power can be unleashed only with professional help and practical training, not through the set of CD's, books, DVD's, or supplements.
● A company needs to have instructors who would lead you, help you, and answer your questions.
● Your training should be based on a comprehensive, effective, practical course, one that is based on the natural mechanisms of the brain and memory, one that provides results.
● Their training or course should cover and teach how to memorize all of the most popular types of information like dates, names, languages, even entire books.
● They should guarantee results and offer a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied.
● Their experts need to know how memory works, so they know exactly what needs to be done to improve it! In this case, they should provide detailed explanations and theoretical material based on scientific research about their methods and approaches.
● They need to use a simple, effective, and practical memorization system that allows you to memorize anything - even seemingly unmemorizable information with complicated structures, like entire textbooks.
● They need to provide a set of software so you can assess and track your results and to use as a tool so you can train and practice.
● They need to have a community of people who are on the same path, so it is easier for you to stay motivated and interested in the training.
● They need to provide you with the information about food, health, and nutrition. Eating the right foods and the proper diet will improve results dramatically.
● They should have additional experience and methods for helping older people, people with ADD, people who have problems with visual thinking, etc.
● They must have a long list of testimonials and articles on memory improvement and related subjects.
● They should have an open forum where their customers and visitors can openly share their experiences and successes.

After a recent night out with the girls a very interesting subject was brought up, one that I found myself contemplating – Who are the new "Bread Winners"? Do you earn more than your partner?
It was an interesting discussion and one that was fuelled by wine, so I was surprised to hear about what they all had to say. I mean it is definitely a sign of the times as a growing number of Australian couples are re arranging their working lives so the woman can take advantage of greater earning potentials.
My friends ranged from their mid-30's up to late 50's and yes we all had a say. The Gen X and Y's already hold the belief that it does not matter who is the bread winner; if you have a career then you should be able to run with it, whereas the Baby Boomers were not so sure.
So does the typical stereo type of the male breadwinner prevail or are modern attitudes changing?
After a bit of research this morning it seems that the average man may still have a few more cents in his pocket, but the rate women are being paid has changed significantly over the last decade.
The pay gap between men and women has quietly shrunk to record lows, especially among younger women. An example I have found is that women in their early 20's now earn a solid 3.6% more on average than male counterparts. So does this mean that the rise of the female breadwinner is no blip?
You only have to look at super couples like Angelina Jolie who earns around $30million compared to her husband Brad Pitt who only earns around $20million or Therese Rein and Kevin Rudd, or dare I say our former Prime Minster Julia Gillard who was around $450,000+ compared to her partner Tim Mathieson $0!
So ask yourself does it really matter who earns more – should it not be about your life in general where you can attract that right partner, engage with each other, retain that lasting relationship and develop your career. To be very honest my friends
and I settled on "who cares who earns more as money isn't everything"!

I love the countryside and I'm always keen to see the rural economy succeed. As I grew up on a family farm, I know how important this way of life is to people. Farming is very much a business, but there are many other things specific to the industry to consider when helping support clients in this sector.
I work on all things 'property' – helping clients to buy, sell, let or mortgage land, farms and property. The people I represent range from farmers and landowners to landed estates and businesses. Whoever they are, I explain the legal paperwork clearly, making sure they understand exactly what they are doing and why. I take my time to find out what makes my client tick, and I ensure they understand everything before they sign it.
Outside of work, I enjoy being out in the countryside and spending time with my chocolate Labrador, Milly.
There are no 'stupid' questions – always ask your solicitor to explain something if you don't understand it.
Always speak to your professional advisers before you do anything, not afterwards. That way, you'll have all the information you need before making a decision.
Never buy a property without having a survey – it's important to know exactly what you're buying before you complete.
How long is it going to take to sell my farm?
If you have a willing buyer, then a farm can be sold in 28 days.
How much is it going to cost?
Every transaction is different but I work on a fixed fee basis, so you'll know the costs before we begin.

Interview with Dr. Jürgen Lüttin
Research Scientist Semantics and Machine Learning based Cognitive Systems
Please tell us what fascinates you most about research.
It fascinates me to work at the cutting edge of research, on problems that nobody has solved before, to deep dive on a specific problem, to look at all aspects and all perspectives and to bring technology one step forward.
What makes research done at Bosch so special?
Bosch has a great research team. We work in multicultural, international teams with diverse minds and backgrounds, which I enjoy very much. Bosch offers one of the best environments in the world to do research. Its research centers are located around the world, and Bosch's success is built on a history of over 130 years. Our research topics are as diverse as our worldwide business units and customers, and if you have an idea in a new product area, you can even initiate a start-up inside Bosch to realize it. The Bosch values of openness, trust, and work-life balance provide the basis for our "Passion for innovation".
What research topics are you currently working on at Bosch?
I work on cognitive assistance systems in the automotive domain. These systems know all kinds of things about a user. They learn their habits, their preferences, and what they like and dislike. This personal information is combined with world knowledge in order to provide personal assistance. Really useful assistance is very much dependent on the context the user is currently in and on finding his particular needs in that situation. We therefore sense different kind of context information to provide context-dependent personal assistance. Our system provides assistance before the user has even asked for it.
What are the biggest scientific challenges in your field of research?
Human language is the basis for human communication and the way our knowledge of the world is presented. To understand this knowledge, the semantics and pragmatics by machine is however non-trivial. The knowledge needs to be presented in a form that a machine can use for knowledge extraction, understanding and reasoning in order to solve complex tasks in assistance system. How to do this is one of the main challenges.
How do the results of your research become part of solutions "Invented for life"?
In our research projects we work in close collaboration with the business units that will take up our results and exploit them in the next innovative products. For example, in one project, I contributed to video-based driver assistance systems. These Bosch products and their successors are now used in millions of cars to make driving safer – in the full sense of "Invented for life".

CHESTER, VT – During the off-season, motorcyclists are free to dream about the perfect ride. My version of that ride involves clear, dry air; bright sunshine; and paved country roads through hilly country. I've been fortunate enough to live that fantasy many times up here in Vermont as well as in Northern California.
With perfect conditions, you must have the perfect machine beneath you, with instant responsiveness to every input – to the point where it feels that if the bike is an extension of you. I can recall a day and a motorcycle that nearly achieved it all. It was an old Triumph Tiger, a 650 with a single Amal carb as opposed to the Bonneville that had twin carbs and a bit more power. However, the Tiger suited me just fine. I was trying the bike out with an eye to purchasing it from Brian Jones, a great guy who is no longer with us.
There is a section of road on Howe Hill in Pomfret, VT that is cut into the side of a hill with fabulous on-camber turns all the way up its flank. There are few things more satisfying than climbing through challenging curves with the power band exactly where you want it. On one especially tight curve I decided to downshift for a bit more oomph right in the corner's apex. Instead of powering out of the turn, I nearly high-sided the bike as the rear brake locked up. What happened? Instead of downshifting, my left foot stomped the rear brake pedal. On this particular motorcycle, the shifter and brake pedals are on the opposite side from the typical American or Japanese motorcycle. Out of habit, I automatically defaulted to what I was most accustomed to. It nearly cost me an ugly accident.
Needless to say, I took a pass on purchasing the Triumph Tiger. Had it been intended as my only ride, I probably would have gone for it because I knew I'd be able to adapt. However, with another bike in the stable that had the controls mounted on the opposite side, I knew I would probably keep making this pedal mistake.
I never forgot all of the positive aspects of that great handling Tiger. On cold winter days, I would often think back to the experience of that one ride. After owning a BMW R100RT for many years, I decided to experiment with something completely different. I ordered a brand new 1999 cobalt blue Harley Davidson Sportster. With a pipe upgrade and a carb re-jet, it felt nearly as good as that old 1969 Triumph Tiger in the corners, albeit with a bit more vibration and clunkier shifting. In the time that I owned the Sportster, my biggest disappointment was its lack of power while riding two-up in hilly country. It just didn't have it. So after a couple of years, I decided to experiment again. I sold the Harley and bought an old friend's naked Honda Gold Wing. It was powerful enough, but after a while, I felt that it was just too tall for my limited inseam, so I sold it on.
My next experiment was a Harley Electra Glide Standard with a hot cam in it. I was really impressed with the acceleration for such a huge motorcycle. I kept it for a couple of years, got bored with it, and let it go. The next test was a naked sport bike. It was an emerald green Suzuki Bandit 1200. I gussied it up with an aftermarket windscreen and a beautiful tan Corbin leather seat with emerald green piping. The handling was superb, and the power was truly intoxicating. One day I got behind four cars just leisurely cruising on Vermont Route 30. I decided the pace was a bit too slow for me so I passed all of them on a single flat. Looking down at the speedo I realized I had gone well into the triple digits. I had been doing a fair amount of that type of riding and I started to feel that my road manners were too aggressive. When that particular riding season ended I decided to get back into the Harley fold and ride something that had a more laid-back feel to it.
I continue to try different things, experimenting with a dual-sport bike and a mid-nineties Honda Nighthawk, my trusty Bonneville and my best all around bike, the Harley 1200 Sportster. All of this fickle motorcycle ownership is due to experimentation, and my willingness to try new things. I don't regret any of those former bikes. They all had a lesson to impart, and the gist of it is this; every motorcycle has its own purpose, and there really aren't any motorcycles out there that can do it all. You can come close, but I've concluded that you need to have more than one at any given time to satisfy the varied demands of the active rider.

Unfortunately for the Republican transportation chairman, the real reasons are well documented: Mica led the GOP's effort last spring to revert to an old, anti-labor rule for union elections in FAA-regulated industries, and when Democrats rejected that move it became necessary to pass another short-term extension of FAA authority. With that short-term extension expiring, and Congress set to recess for the rest of August, Mica attempted to gain political leverage for the anti-union rule by including a cut to rural airport subsidies which would impact airports in states represented by Democratic senators. We know that Mica's move was about leverage and not policy because he said so himself, on the record.

Fact Checking The Sunday Shows - July 24, 2011
This week's Sunday shows were largely about the struggle to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling. On Fox News Sunday, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) blamed Obama's policies for "out of control" spending without noting that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the recession, and the Bush tax cuts are the primary drivers of debt and deficits. He also touted the deeply problematic balanced budget amendment. On CNN, Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) claimed that the House-passed GOP budget eliminated all corporate loopholes when it really secures tax breaks for big oil, all while necessitating a middle-class tax hike. Price also minimized the very serious effects of the checks that won't get paid out if the debt limit isn't raised by August 2nd. Later, Tim Pawlenty falsely claimed that President Obama is responsible for tripling deficits within his term. On Face the Nation, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) wrongly said that spending alone is the problem driving deficits. Finally, on Meet the Press, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) justified the GOP's efforts to obstruct debt ceiling negotiations by distorting credit rating agencies' warnings, and then blamed Democrats for the GOP-driven politicization of a Federal Aviation Administration funding bill.

Fact Checking The Sunday Shows - March 13, 2011
Natural disasters nearly crowded out political chatter on the Sunday talk shows, but conservative guests dutifully plugged talking points into the spaces between stories about leaking reactors and coastal devastation in Japan. Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ) are still clinging to the notion that the Recovery Act didn't lead to the current economy recovery, and each man blamed President Obama for the spike in gas prices that's followed recent political turmoil in the Middle East. McConnell also claimed the government's done nothing to address entitlement costs, although the Affordable Care Act took a number of steps to reign in the health care spending that's darkening our fiscal horizon. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-TN) falsely insisted that tax cuts increase revenues on Fox News Sunday, while Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-IN) misled Meet the Press viewers about Gov. Scott Walker's (R-WI) campaign rhetoric.

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - China's trade and oil interests in Sudan have induced the permanent U.N. Security Council member to provide diplomatic cover for the government accused by many of war crimes against its own people, analysts say.
Sudan has had its back against the wall of the U.N. headquarters in New York during the past 18 months over the conflict in Darfur, where tens of thousands of people have died as a result of violence the United States called genocide.
But the spectre of a Chinese veto has shielded Sudan from possible sanctions over the conflict and in turn protected a growing source of much-needed oil for Beijing.
"This is RealPolitik," said Adwoa Kufuor, a human rights analyst on Sudan. "Yes China has economic interests ... and yes China will not risk offending the government of Sudan."
China's heavy but understated presence in Sudan is symbolised by the vast, walled compound housing its embassy on prime real estate in Khartoum. It dominates Sudan's crude oil sector, which produces around 330,000 barrels per day, and is building roads, bridges and dams.
China has become Sudan's biggest foreign investor with $4 billion in projects.
"In key countries, China is becoming the new IMF of Africa without the strings, or at least only with strings that tied to Chinese national commercial interests," said Martyn Davies, director of the Centre for Chinese Studies at South Africa's Stellenbosch University.
Despite widespread condemnation within the United Nations of the atrocities ongoing in Darfur, and acknowledgment of the government's involvement in them, Sudan has avoided penalty.
Numerous resolutions have reiterated Khartoum must disarm its proxy Arab militias, accused of widespread rape, killing and looting, but Sudan has still not done this. Violence escalated recently, prompting U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to warn the region was descending into anarchy.
"In the case of Darfur, the main impediment to stronger action by the Security Council has been China, which owns a 40 percent share of Sudan's main oil producing field," rights group Human Rights Watch said in a report.
It said China had used the threat of its veto to soften resolutions critical of the government.
Ideologically Sudan's Islamist government is an unlikely ally for Communist China.
But Hassan al-Turabi, the Sudanese president's former ally, said China's considerable military loans and investment in Sudan were welcomed because they came without strings attached.
He said Beijing's diplomatic support, especially on preventing sanctions, was based on business.
"(This is) for their own interests of course," Turabi said. "They are oil producing in this country -- if there are any sanctions, that may have an impact on their own oil production in this country."
China has abstained from voting on every Security Council resolution critical of the Sudanese government's failure to halt the violence in Darfur, which forced more than 2 million people from their homes last year and created what the United Nations called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
But in protecting Sudan, China must not be seen to be ignoring other interests and that limits how far Beijing is willing to go.
The acid test of Sudanese-Chinese relations came on March 31, when U.N. Security Council Resolution 1593 referred Darfur to the International Criminal Court, the first such move.
Vice President Ali Osman Mohamed Taha told Sudan's cabinet he had Chinese assurances the resolution would not be passed, a source close to the presidency told Reuters. "He was confident it would not get through and told them not to worry," he said.
Wang Guangya, China's U.N. representative, told the Council: "China did not favour the referral to the International Criminal Court without the consent of the Sudanese Government." But their abstention rather than a veto embarrassed Taha within the government, the presidency source said.
Turabi said while China's investment in Sudan was considerable, they had other wider interests which meant they could not offer full support to Sudan in opposition to powerful trading partners like the United States.
"If they treat the Sudan too gently of course that would cost them too much otherwise, so people understand that as much as they have given to us -- that was enough," Turabi said.

The New York and Philadelphia metro regions are experiencing two significant and consecutive rain events in a week and people are again concerned about how to assess vulnerability to flooding and how impending flooding compares to previous floods. The Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service is a tool used by local and state offices of emergency management and provides past, current and updated river projections.
You can access this too; the website is http://water.weather.gov/ahps/. Click on an area of the country and you will be moved to a Weather Forecast Office region – for the New York and Philadelphia region, you want the Philadelphia/Mt. Holly NJ region. This screen shows the current status of gages by color. Next click on one of the forecast points and the individual gage will appear. You will observe the current stage of the river in blue, the predicted stage through time in green and, scrolling down, a list of past major events and corresponding flood elevation to place the forecast into perspective. As a citizen, this tool provides information so that you can take appropriate action in moving valuables to higher ground and implement your flood plan. For more on a flood plan, see the website Focus on Floods: http://focusonfloods.org/.
Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service forecasts are updated as data becomes available and not before modeling is completed every six hours. At the bottom of the chart, the forecast time is posted and, unless an unusual situation develops, look for the next update six hours thereafter. It is important to realize that especially with early predictions, the modeling is performed on estimated rainfall. As rainfall is recorded by Doppler radar and rain gauges, and stream gages register the change in the stream stage, the model is refined. Times of peak stage and peak elevation will change over time and it is important to monitor. Also, you should heed the notices from your local emergency management coordinator as he or she is monitoring additional data and may have instructions for your safety – communities will have ways to communicate instructions though email, website and, if needing higher attention, reverse 911.
Risk awareness is your first step to prepare for a flood, and importantly, guides what mitigation or adaptation you can do to reduce your susceptibility to flooding in the future. Most often, the urge to improve resiliency is strongest immediately after a flood. Take advantage of this time, for in the next flood, you will be more confident in weathering the storm.

Litigation Forms & Instructions
The forms listed on this page are necessary to insure a smooth and effective eviction process. Like every legal proceeding, the judge will want each case to be accurately and fully documented before they grant judgment. The forms are also used as a way to insure that the process of eviction respects the rights of tenants and gives tenants appropriate notice as required by law.
You can download the forms, print them and fax them to office. We assemble a file on each case and must have each of the forms (unless otherwise noted) in our file so that we can present it to the judge.
1) SEVEN DAY NOTICE: This is a standard form used by landlords in Kentucky where there is a written lease providing such notice and in jurisdictions which have adopted the Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act (URLTA) . You should make copies of the form and give it to tenants when they become delinquent in payment of rent. We suggest that you personally deliver the notice to the tenant and also mail it to the tenant. You can also tape the notice to the tenant's door if you are unable to deliver it to them personally. Please note that a different notice may be required for month to month, bi-weekly, other types of rental agreements or jurisdictions where URLTA has not been adopted.
Download Seven Day Notice (PDF)
2) AFFIDAVIT OF SEVEN DAY NOTICE: You can download and print this affidavit and attach a copy of the SEVEN DAY NOTICE you served upon your tenant. Please fax the affidavit and a copy of the seven day notice you gave to your tenant to our office.
Download Affidavit of Seven Day Notice (PDF)
3) AFFIDAVIT AND PAYMENT HISTORY: You can download and print this affidavit and attach a copy of the payment history of your tenant showing the amount of past due rent and late charges. The affidavit should be signed by you or whoever keeps your records of rent charges and collections. We will need this document in court to show the judge the source of the past due amount claimed in the Forcible Detainer (eviction). This is especially helpful when a tenant tells the judge that he has paid the rent but you have not given the tenant credit for the payment. Fax the affidavit and payment history to our office.
Download Affidavit and Payment History (PDF)
4) LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY: Some judges (very few) require that we present a power of attorney at the hearing when we are acting on your behalf and you are not in court. The power of attorney is very narrow and very limited. You can revoke it at any time and it gives us a strictly limited right to obtain your Forcible Detainers (evictions) and Judgments for the amounts due to you by the tenant. Please complete the Power of Attorney and fax it to our office. We need only one copy of the Power of Attorney. You do not need to send it for every eviction.
Download Limited Power of Attorney (PDF)
5) WRITTEN LEASE: If your lease with the tenant is in writing, fax us a copy of the lease. It is important that you give a seven day notice to everyone who is named in the lease as a tenant and we will insure that each person named in the lease is served with a copy of the Forcible Detainer (eviction). If your rental agreement is not a written lease then please summarize your oral lease agreement with the tenant in a written statement prepared and signed by you. Fax your written summary of the oral agreement to our office.
6) LETTER OF ENGAGEMENT: Before we begin work for you, we require a letter of engagement which outlines our fee structure and responsibilities. Engagement letters are recommended by the Kentucky Bar Association and are helpful in defining your rights and obligations as well as defining ours. Please download the letter of engagement, sign it and fax it to our office. We need only one copy and you will not be required to send it for each service we provide to you.
Download Letter of Engagement (PDF)
All of the foregoing sounds very time consuming but it is actually very quick and easy. Most of it requires only a fax of what you already have in your possession.

In a scene from a new documentary, "Weed the People," produced by television celebrity Ricki Lake, Sonoma County resident Mara Gordon and her husband, Stewart Smith, are at the stove in their kitchen, simmering ground-up cannabis in organic olive oil.
They discuss what blend of marijuana strains would help a woman named Linda with stage 4 cancer, which had spread to her lungs and abdomen. The woman wanted pain relief but didn't want a feeling of "stoniness" from the oil they were cooking for her, Gordon said.
"I was thinking of putting her on the Williams Wonder and cutting it with the Cannatonic," Gordon says, describing two different marijuana strains, in the film.

What is an Herb Rub?
A herb rub is a blend of seasonings which are designed to be rubbed into meats for roasting, grilling, broiling, and baking. The herbs may be fresh or dried, and the blend can include any combination of herbs which appeals to the cook. A similar concept, the spice rub, uses spices instead of herbs for a slightly different flavor. It is also not uncommon to see a blend of the two.
The practice of rubbing meats with herbs before roasting is ancient. Humans have been gathering aromatic wild herbs and cultivating herbs in their garden for thousands of years. When a meat is treated with an herb rub, it absorbs the aroma and flavor of the herbs, and the herbs usually interact with the flavor of the meat to bring out a unique taste. As the meat cooks, the herbs on the surface cook along with it, adding texture to the finished product and creating bursts of flavor as consumers bite in.
When fresh herbs are used, they tend to be more zesty and complex. The herbs are usually chopped fine so that they will be evenly distributed onto the meat, and they are rubbed in along with a small amount of oil, salt, and pepper. Once an herb rub has been applied, the meat is cooked directly, as herb rubs do not act to soften and tenderize like marinades do. Other ingredients such as citrus juice and wine may also supplement an herb rub.
When fresh herbs are not available, dried herbs can be used instead. Many companies actually sell herb rub blends which are designed to pair with particular meats. It is also possible to buy dried herbs separately and blend them to taste, or to dry fresh herbs from the garden so that they can be used year round. When a meat needs to be quickly seasoned in a simple and refreshing way, an herb rub is an excellent way to accomplish this goal.
Marjoram, basil, parsley, thyme, lavender, fennel, sage, rosemary, oregano, orange peels, bay leaves, tarragon, mint, dill, and chives may all be used in an herb rub, though generally not together as a group. The biggest mistake made with herb rubs is an excess of varieties which simply muds out through the cooking process. It is better to choose a few herbs which complement each other and the meat well to create a simple but appealing seasoning.

Discussion Comments
My son has become very good at cooking and smoking meats, and he introduced me to several kinds of rubs that he likes to use on his meat. His meat is always tender and well seasoned. I know there are many factors that go in to this, but he likes to use a lot of rubs.
There are many rubs you can buy that are already blended, or without too much trouble, you can make your own. One of my favorites is a BBQ rub for chicken. The main ingredient is the paprika which adds some BBQ flavor without the mess of a liquid barbecue sauce.
I love using different combinations of herb rubs on my meats. These especially come in handy if I don't have time to marinade the meat, but still want to add some extra flavoring.
This year for Thanksgiving I tried an herb rub for turkey, and it turned out great. Rosemary and thyme were the two main herbs I used as the dry ingredients, combined with dried onion, garlic, salt and pepper. This is then added to some olive oil and white wine.
You can use this rub on the outside of the turkey or inject into the meat. I then baked the turkey as usual, and it was very tender and moist.

We're Getting A Cat And Other Updates
12 Nov
Oh well.
Hi there.
Clears throat
Sorry, I'm just feeling a little self-conscious.
It's been a while since I've stretched my blogging fingers. I've almost forgotten why I did it.
Do it?
I keep thinking that maybe I'll have some great idea that I'll need to write about and that will snap me back into it like a sugar snap pea!
And yet.
I'm sitting here on a Friday night at 7:33 PM. My laptop is at 10 percent so I'm writing at a weird angle so I can charge this baby.
Rob is watching the Celtics and cooking pasta in the other room and I'm reading three books at once. One is too emotionally draining and has to do with, oh I can't even speak of it. Another is scary and so I keep taking breaks for the emotionally draining one. And one is due at the library. That one is the most neglected.
Is that me sticking it to the man? Neglecting the library book I actually should read?
Not playing by the RULES.
I turned 30. Remember that?
I actually spent the month before I turned 30 writing poetry about all I had learned in 30 years of life.
Excuse me while I find some of it.
OK I'm back.
You ready for this?
Buy the great big underwear
granny panties
size up
buy the great big underwear and start living the great big life
Hey that one was pretty good!
What about this:
Wash your face before you get tired
Wash your face before you get tired
Wash your face bef
And finally:
A poem about bangs
Don't do it
OK, ok, what else?
I've been really happy lately.
Let me rephrase that.
I've been content lately.
It's different than happiness, or at least how I see it. Happiness is an inherently temporary condition, one I've been chasing for most of my life, refusing to recognize it as an impossible standard. Contentment, on the other hand, is more a feeling of enjoying the right now. It's not flashy or even that exciting. But oh my Oprah, what a relief!
What a rare treat.
Let's see.
Let's see.
We're going to get a cat.
That's happening after Christmas.
A cat was part of the great, ongoing pre-marriage discussion of What We Want in Life and Can We Give it To Each Other.
Rob is just about the biggest animal person the world has ever produced and I have had a lot of bad experiences with animals and so a cat.
A cat is where we landed.
Listen, I've had a lot of bad experiences with men and I still got married so I do have some level of faith and belief and hope.
I have faith and I believe and I hope that I will learn to love a cat.
And now here we are.
I recently bought a fluffy cat makeup bag at Forever 21 that looks like what I imagine our fluffy cat (non makeup bag) will one day look like.
I then converted said bag into a purse because nothing can be easy, and then. And then! I realized I've become the mother who buys matching clothing for her and her kids without even being pregnant. I'm that cat mother! Heaven help us all.
Other things.
Otter things.
Do Unto Otters, have you read that children's book?
Political turmoil. Women getting angry and making a difference.
Hey! We're here, we've always been humans and we are powerful and we are FED UP HEAR US ROAR.
It's a hard time. I want to record it. And I also want to live. I want to feel content and not always hurt and riled up and angry and confused.
I want to live.
I'm going to Hamilton this Tuesday.
That seems as good a place as any to end this thing.
I'm going to Hamilton this Tuesday and life is good and I want to live it.
I'm living it.

Supported living We have developed a range of services including intensive support for people with challenging behaviours, dual diagnosis, autism specific services, services for people with additional physical and sensory needs and supported living service for people who are more independent.
We work closely with families, carers and other stakeholders to provide co-ordinated services for individuals. There is a high level of active service user participation with regular forums for service users with learning disabilities. We currently support a number of people living in the Prestwich area and also Manchester, Bury and Salford.

Owner Versus Strata Corporation
If an owner is involved in a lawsuit or arbitration against the strata corporation, the Strata Property Act limits that owner's responsibility for costs and restricts the owner's ability to attend meetings and obtain information from the corporation about the proceedings.
If an owner:
- is sued by a strata corporation,
- is joined in a suit against a strata corporation,
- sues a strata corporation,
- begins an arbitration proceeding against a strata corporation,
- is a party to an arbitration begun by a strata corporation, or
- is joined in an arbitration which is proceeding against a strata corporation,
the following limitations apply to that owner. The Strata Property Act provides that the owner:
- is not liable to contribute to legal costs that a court or arbitrator requires the strata corporation to pay,
- does not have the right to information or documentation relating to the suit, including legal opinions, and
- does not have a right to attend those portions of any annual or special general meeting or council meeting at which the suit is dealt with or discussed.
For more detailed information about an owner's access to a strata corporation's legal opinions where the owner has a dispute with the corporation, see Chapter 13, Record Keeping.
The Strata Property Act also states that if a strata corporation pays an amount to an owner in full or partial satisfaction of the owner's claim against the strata corporation, that owner is not liable to share in the cost of the payment with the other owners.

Like a student in film school, probably the most popular subjects was film theory, that is an analytic study of film like a language. Film theory has numerous variations to the approach through the years, yet I have always found the greater experiential style to become most rewarding.
In film school, I needed to read all of the classics, including Bazin's What's Cinema?, Eisenstein's Film Form and movie Sense and Hitchcock/Truffaut, the definitive number of interviews between filmmakers Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut. These books and also the numerous films I'd an opportunity to see, provided great insight regarding how films are created and just what filmmakers are really attempting to convey.
It isn't entirely simple to break lower a film's many levels. In some instances you need to see a film several occasions to obtain the gist of what is being expressed. A lot of the process concentrates on lighting, composition and particularly editing. Within my film theory classes, we'd see a film along with specific scene could be proven with an analytic projector. For instance, my professor spent almost an hour or so breaking lower every individual shot from the shower scene in Psycho, to ensure that we're able to comprehend the impact of rapid cuts and short shots and just how they comprise a gripping sequence that fifty years later continues to be studied so meticulously.
Some film schools incorporate a kind of anthropology and psychoanalysis within their film theory, which wasn't things i was uncovered to. Rather, it had been much more about the show itself and using method to create mood and feeling. Additionally, it provided an excellent chance to determine films which i had not had an opportunity to see before, such as the work of Stan Brakhage, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, Jean Cocteau, and Dziga Vertov among many more.
This sort of experience was very advantageous to my film school education, because it influenced my method of filmmaking. Point about this stems from narrative theory, yet in film, using images alone will easily notice a tale, as an example the early silent films, most of which used intertitles to exhibit dialog.
Silent films are essential to some film school education as well as in film theory too. Before the creation of seem, all there is were silent films. Yet where some students might find silent films dry and boring, there's an abundance of motion picture understanding contained within to understand more about.
There have been many films within the silent era that did not use intertitles and were equally effective in creating mood as well as in telling a tale, for example Dimitri Kirsanoff's Menilmontant (1926) where a brutal axe murder happens in the film's opening minutes. There is no bloodstream, no severed braches, only a quick succession of shots which are tightly put together to produce a feeling of terror. As well as F.W. Murnau's The Final Laugh (1924), which informs the melodramatic tale of the beloved hotel doorman who's demoted to some bathroom attendant, again without using any intertitles. The majority of Murnau's films including his undertake the Dracula legend, Nosferatu (1922), were probably the most impressive silent films available when it comes to their utilization of expressionist elements, which unlike many silent films, haven't aged whatsoever.

By Gerard J. Shorb, Johns Hopkins University
Part 8: Conclusion
Delta Omega has had an impressive record of accomplishment despite encountering problems along the way. One of the problems the Society had in its early years at Alpha Chapter was that it did not receive much institutional support from the schools administration. As a result of this, the chapter only had a precarious existence. The members of the Society, except for a few faculty members, simply were not in any one place long enough for the local chapters to grow strong. The national leadership was not able to overcome this limitation, given the distance between them and the local members. The new leaders of Alpha Chapter seemed to have realized this in 1978. They worked to institutionalize the operations of the chapter, including the process of membership selection, event coordination and scheduling. The School did this by providing staff support on a continuing basis and by providing some small financial assistance. Much of the credit for this goes to former Dean Donald A. Henderson. This notion of providing institutional support to Delta Omega has contributed greatly to its success.
Another problem experienced by the Alpha Chapter was that, early on, there was no standard form of grading students as there is today. As a result, there always was a certain arbitrariness in the process of electing new students to the Society by a vote. The charter members tried to avoid this by having the faculty appoint the chapter members based on scholastic achievement. The Director of the school, Doctor Welch, however, would not agree to this. The whole problem was alleviated to some degree when the School began a uniform system of grading in September of 1976. Alpha Chapter re-activated two years later.
The lasting impression of Delta Omega's history is of the noble ideals of the Society and of the group of founders that began it. These were serious men and women who cared about the work they were doing. They were committed to the advancement of the profession they had chosen. Co-founder Edgar Hume understood this kind of commitment and, in his 1942 historical article, he quoted John Sundwall's 1939 Presidential Report to the Society. Sundwall wrote that, "membership in the Society of Delta Omega should not be regarded solely as an honor in recognition of past achievements in the field of Public Health. It should mean life-long obligations and devotion to the interests of public health in accordance with the ideals of Delta Omega. It should imply zest for erudition, as measured in terms of scholarship and research and constant effort to be in the vanguard of the modern public health movement as manifested by intelligent, considered, constructive action and effective leadership. Election to Delta Omega should be regarded as a consecration to quality work and to high standards in all those interests and activities making up modern public health."53
