Fixed interest rate loans can be an advantage to borrowers in certain circumstances:
when certainty of monthly loan repayments is required
when borrowers wish to protect themselves against anticipated variable interest rate increases
when there is little likelihood of a need to terminate the loan prior to the expiry of the fixed rate term
when borrowers do not require the benefits of normal variable rate loans e.g. ability to make large repayments, redraw of additional funds paid
However, fixed interest rate loans can be inappropriate in other circumstances:
if there is a substantial reduction in variable interest rates as occurred during the Global Financial Crisis
if borrowers have to terminate a fixed rate loan early : substantial penalties can apply (these are known as Break Costs)
if borrowers require greater flexibility to make large lump-sum repayments or redraw on extra funds already paid
The following article from the Credit Ombudsman's Office provides excellent detailed information on the potential pitfalls of locking into a fixed rate loan contract.
Fees for other common items will be set out in your lender's contract, including:
Lenders will usually outline their fees and charges on their websites and in their brochures. It is mandatory that all fees and charges are listed in their loan contracts.
The cost of establishing the reverse mortgage loan varies significantly from one lender to another. Establishment fees range from $500 to $1200, although some lenders occasionally have "nil fee" special offers. The average cost is about $850, but this does not include the cost of borrowers obtaining their own independent legal advice. Some lenders also require that seniors obtain independent financial advice as well.
Lenders will usually offer a choice. The type of interest rate you select will depend on your circumstances and your views on future interest rate movements. There is no simple or correct answer.
Variable rates can move up or down at any time. Reverse mortgage lenders can and do alter their variable rates regardless of monthly decisions announced by the Reserve Bank. Reverse mortgage lenders will generally allow monthly or partial lump sum repayments to be made at any time without penalty. If your circumstances change significantly, you can usually pay out the loan in full without interest penalties, however lenders can charge Early Repayment or Deferred Establishment Fees if the loan is voluntarily discharged in the early years.
Fixed rates remain static for the agreed period. If rates fall, you will still pay interest at the original agreed rate. If rates increase during the fixed rate period, you will not be affected. A significant disadvantage is that lenders can charge a "break cost" if the contract is voluntarily terminated early. These costs may be waived, however, in the event of death or movement into permanent aged care. You should clearly understand the potential penalties before proceeding.
Normally, receipt of reverse mortgage funds is not considered taxable income. It is simply a return of the capital tied up in your home. Tax issues could arise, however, if funds are invested to produce an income or purchase an asset that may later be sold to produce a capital gain. Financial advice should always be obtained if you have concerns about taxation issues.
Yes. Instead of borrowing money using a reverse mortgage, some possible alternatives may exist and should be considered:
These alternatives may not be practical, particularly if other assets are of insufficient value or longer-term family assistance is not possible.
In most cases, yes. If you plan to leave your estate to your children, the value of the estate will be reduced by the balance of the reverse mortgage loan at the time of discharge. Reverse mortgage loan balances increase over time if no interest payments are made. Beneficiaries will receive the net value of the estate after the reverse mortgage loan balance and any other debts are paid out.
It should be remembered that reverse mortgages now allow seniors the flexibility of retaining the home. Retaining the home for the next generation will result in the transfer of a significant property asset which would otherwise not occur if seniors were forced to sell the property because of a lack of cash to live on.
When considering a reverse mortgage, it is essential to obtain independent legal advice and possibly independent financial advice as well. Family involvement is generally also recommended by lenders. Your personal and financial circumstances must be considered carefully before deciding to proceed.
If you currently receive a Centrelink benefit, you should be aware of any possible adverse impacts a reverse mortgage may have on your entitlements. If funds are used immediately for general consumer purposes such as travel, home improvements or clearing other debts, entitlements will usually not be affected. If you buy a car, invest borrowed funds, leave cash sitting in your account for more than 90 days or provide a large gift to a family member, then your benefits may be affected.
Speak to your Financial Information Services Officer at Centrelink to establish your position.
Legal Advice
All lenders require seniors to obtain independent legal advice from their solicitor. Loan contracts are usually sent to the solicitor you nominate on the loan application form. You should check with your solicitor to confirm that he/she is prepared to fully explain the loan terms and conditions to you, as well as sign a Solicitor's Certificate confirming to the lender that this advice has been provided.
Financial Advice
Lenders will encourage seniors to obtain independent financial advice from a qualified financial adviser or accountant when applying for a reverse mortgage. Some lenders formally require you to do so. This is to ensure that your overall financial position is properly assessed and the decision to proceed is supported.
Family Involvement
It is important to consider discussing the reverse mortgage with your family or beneficiaries. In most instances, the repayment of the loan balance in the future will affect the value of your estate and if they are executors of your estate, they will be responsible for discharging your reverse mortgage loan balance in the future. Children will usually support your decision to proceed with a loan, especially if there is no other practical solution to your financial needs.
After the death of the last surviving borrower, beneficiaries will need to repay the outstanding reverse mortgage loan balance within the lender's required period. This can be up to 12 months. While the home can be sold to repay the loan balance, this is not mandatory. Beneficiaries may elect to keep the family home and either rent it out or occupy it themselves. This will require the beneficiaries to arrange a new loan which will be used to pay out the reverse mortgage loan within the allowed period.
Lenders have different rules should borrowers require a move from the family home into permanent aged care. Some lenders require automatic full repayment of the loan when this occurs. It may require the family home to be sold or the reverse mortgage loan to be paid out by another lender. Other lenders will allow seniors to rent out the family home, with rental income helping to cover the interest charged on the reverse mortgage.
Borrowers should look carefully at the lender's policy regarding a move into permanent aged care. It may trigger the required full repayment of the loan within an agreed period and this may not be the wish of borrowers or their beneficiaries.
With variable rate reverse mortgage loans, some lenders allow loans to be fully repaid from sale proceeds or inheritance monies with no early repayment penalties. Other lenders do charge an early repayment fee if the loan is voluntarily and fully repaid within periods of 3-5 years. This penalty is often referred to as a Deferred Establishment Fee and is usually calculated on a reducing scale down to zero after the agreed period.
With fixed rate loans, most lenders will also charge "break costs" if the loan is voluntarily discharged prior to the expiration of an agreed fixed rate period, especially when fixed rates have declined since the loan commenced. Some lenders allow seniors to make additional lump sum repayments on a fixed rate loan without penalty e.g. up to 10% of the advanced amount per annum, but all lenders will have different policies on this.
Check your lender's contract conditions carefully for Deferred Establishment Fee charges and fixed rate "break costs". As mentioned previously, "break costs" are generally not charged by lenders when fixed rate loans are fully repaid following the death of borrowers or their placement into permanent aged care.
If you sell your home voluntarily and no longer require the loan, the loan must be repaid immediately upon settlement of the sale of your home.
In the event of the death of the last surviving borrower, beneficiaries are allowed periods of up to 12 months to sell the property and repay the loan balance in full. Some lenders also have a requirement that the loan must be fully repaid within an agreed period of borrowers moving into permanent aged care.
All reverse mortgage lenders will have specific terms and conditions in their loan contracts which clearly outline when the loan is to be fully repaid.
Yes. Lenders have website calculators which enable seniors to estimate what the loan balance will increase to over a number of years. These calculators generally do not take into account any monthly interest payments or any lump sum payments you may make in the future, so you will get a "worst case" outcome. Such payments will reduce the rate at which the reverse mortgage loan balance increases.
The level of remaining equity in your home will depend on a number of factors including:
This website has a calculator and you can also use the Federal Government's ASIC website which is called "FIDO". It can be found at www.fido.gov.au/equityrelease and allows seniors to estimate future scenarios including reverse mortgage loan balances, house values and remaining equity values. Different interest rates and house value growth rates can be inserted to show different potential outcomes.

"Girllll it's easy to love me now, would you love me if I was down and out–would you still have love for me…girrllll!?" To many, it was just a song by 50 Cent. But for many men could really relate to it on a daily basis. Society told men that when it comes to providing and protecting, the weight of the world was on their shoulders and it was the only way to be respected by women. Sometimes women believe that they are the only ones who have insecurities about whether or not they will be good enough. But the truth is that many men go through the same gambit of emotions and doubts. Here are a few questions that men might just have.
1. If I lost it all today would you still be with me?
Relationships can take us on journeys and rollercoasters. One year he could go from making six figures and providing a stable and secure lifestyle, and the next year he could get laid off and go back to barely making ends meet. No man ever plans on that happening. But just like women, men want to feel secure in the fact that they won't be left high and dry when they fall on hard times. 50 Cent said it best "If I went back to a hooptie from a Benz would you *poof* and disappear like some of my friends?"
TNMPINMaleThinkingStanding2. If I couldn't protect you from something would you still respect me?
As much as men want to protect their families and their women from everything, there may be a time when what he does just isn't enough. Sometimes, he may put in the effort but he may not get there in time or sometimes he may not have what it takes to protect you from a certain person or thing or situation. If he failed you that one, time would you still be able to respect him? Or would he be met with so much resentment that the relationship would fall apart?
3. If I wasn't satisfying you sexually would you cheat on me?
Women aren't the only ones who have insecurities about their ability to consistently satisfy their mates sexually. He may think "what if she gets curious? What if she gets bored with me? What if she stops desiring me?" YES believe it or not men go through these same thought processes, although many of them wouldn't dare to admit it because of course that would be too "soft" or "weak."
4. What if I don't turn out to be the father you expected me to be?
The same way that women worry about not being enough as a Mother, men share in those same sentiments as it relates to fatherhood. What if I don't live up to what my wife expects from me as a father? What if my child doesn't turn out the way I raised him or her to be? What if I'm not able to provide him or her with all of the things and opportunities that I wanted to? What if I don't live up to the expectations? These questions are very real to lots of men.
We can't always control how other people act or behave, but we can control the effort that we put into doing the best that we can and being the best men that we can be!
We all know that no man or woman is perfect, but maybe what you now have a better grasp of is that men deal with the burdens of imperfection as well, sometimes to a high degree. All we can do is hope that we choose wisely in a mate and that we become the best we can be personally and in the relationship. We can't always control how other people act or behave, but we can control the effort that we put into doing the best that we can and being the best men that we can be! With that said…..rest your mind young man…and know that you can, and will deliver.

Sending video to ask for guidenance for certain performing issues
My piano professor once said that she could send short videos of her students' performances to a site, to get comments, guides from her other teacher colleagues. My question is, if we have this kind of possibility in our site, so that as a SAA member to send student videos and ask of other more experienced Suzuki teachers regarding certain performing issues? If yes, please let us know how and where in discussion groups can be done.
Thank you in advance/
There are privacy issues with this. I'm sure legal issues. i don't think you can post photos or videos legally of your students unless you have permission from them or their parents if they are minors. I know people do post on FB, and I assume that they either have permission or are ok because of their FB settings, but I am very cautious with this.
Thank you Barbara,
What my professor said is that she first ,definitely, always ask for permission from student and she only take video of the hands of the person playing piano.In her case the students are adults over 18. And Of course no name or anything that identify the student would not be disclosed in the site either.
I doubt, that those teachers and profs are using FB, as in my opinion that may create some privacy issue.
However, I totally understand the legal aspects of it and sensitivity of anything that may/can go wrong.,,
I know, in certain circumstances, you can video of how you teach in your studio with one or more students and/or parents presents to get certification for music teaching ( this should also have parents involved and with permission in writing). How this can be different from sending video, to ask for help/assistance/comments from other teachers?
Thank you again Barbara for your response. And in any case I will have parents confirm in writing if anything.
Hi Andana,
I think you should consult a lawyer about this before moving forward on it. In my case, I have been discussing these kinds of issues with a good friend who is a copyright, trademark lawyer. I actually know her from teaching her boys violin and viola a number of years ago.
This particular area of law, which is Federal law, I think, is what is the practice area is to look for legal advice from. But on the other hand, it is a fairly simple question, so maybe not necessary to be too particular.
At any rate, if it were me, I would consult a lawyer.
Best of luck. Barb
Thank you Barb, very good suggestion. I 'll have that discussed with my business lawyer.

A client with aging parents is working to catalog and store family photographic memories while her mother and father are still able to remember details about various images. When she showed me the family albums of her parents, the memories of my own family's brown and blue albums from the same time period came rushing back.
The look and feel of the client's albums were familiar to me. Both of our sets of albums (early-mid 1900s) were rectangular (roughly 11 by 16"), had sturdy covers, and were held together with decorative string at one end; the string fed through two locations at the edge of each page, binding the album. Photo mounting corners were used to attach prints to black paper; the album paper had the same texture as construction paper. Sometimes white pencil was used to document photo details on the black album paper.
Where to begin?
The client and I met so that I could see her albums and advise her on next steps. We discussed scanning, removing the photos from the albums or not, best practices for long-term storage (i.e., using acid-free materials), and options for documenting details about each image.
The client was certain that she wanted to remove the photos from the albums (which she decided to do herself), but she also wanted to capture the text notes throughout the albums as well as any additional details her parents might remember. She interviewed her parents over a series of visits out of state, took notes about the various pictures (dates, occasions, names of others she did not recognize), and documented everything in a spreadsheet.
She utilized a numbering system to coordinate the prints and her notes. For writing on the backs of prints, a pencil such as the Stabilo-All is recommended.
These special pencils won't cause indentations that can appear on the front side of the print and be picked up by a scanner. They are sold at art supply stores and various archival products companies and come in black, red, and white. Photos from the early 1900s are often black on the back, so the white can be useful for numbering and dating such prints. I did have to invest in my first pencil sharpener in years.
Select Storage
She elected to purchase a large archival box and two large envelopes from The Photo Organizers. The materials are acid-free and are designed by photo organizers, for photo organizers.
The 13.5 x 16 x 6″ box will accommodate 2,400 prints up to 5 x 7". The client will use the oversize envelopes to store 8 x 10" images and other related materials.
Ultimately, this client elected to digitize only 101 images. She provided me with envelopes for three time periods and one oversize image envelope; a sampling of images from each envelope appear below.
- 1904 – 1930: A family grocery store
- 1931 – 1945: Family time
- 1946 – 1954: Fun with friends
- Large prints: Dancing
The scanning process includes cropping and color enhancement. Cropping removes the white borders that appeared around most images for much of the twentieth century. This project consisted entirely of black & white photos; color enhancement of grayscale scanning can further enrich photos by distinguishing the blacks, grays, and whites in an image. There were only a handful of occasions while scanning these 101 images where I elected to turn off the color enhancement.
The pencils mentioned above can also be useful to mark the backs of prints, indicating they have been scanned (with an "S," for example). This might be useful, since the client elected to scan only a selected number of prints during this phase of her project.
File Away
The client is beginning to place her historical photos into the archival box. She is happy with the design of the box; it offers sufficient structure for organization but also gives her flexibility to place, label, and rearrange items. She did inquire about envelopes to protect unusually small images, to further segment items behind a single tab divider, or to store related (i.e., non-photo) memorabilia. I recommended these envelopes from Archival Methods; I have used them for my own family photo collection.
Next Steps
The client has inquired about additional scanning, so I know she is considering the digitization of more images. Her approach, as outlined above, was to begin with a limited number of scans – a reasonable way to approach a project when you are still finding your way. She was able to see the quality of the scans, share them with others in the family, assess what amount of editing might be required for any images she wants to enlarge or use in photo books, and then evaluate whether further investment (time and/or money) was warranted.
"This is just wonderful. I've looked through the photos online and am so pleased. These are treasures, and I can't wait to share them with others in my family."

There are 2 products.
The wine thus obtained presents a wealth of tannins and aroma. The high mineral content of the soil gives a particular complexity to the wine, with prevailing tones of red cherry and a balsamic note that makes for a good balance between tannic structure and high alcohol volume.

I should like to construct a web page. Any suggestions from this sophisticated group? Of course, I have Notepad but are there other HTML editors with templates which should facilitate the process, I believe.

I've used (at the office) Microsoft Frontpage 2002 and it's really easy to
use, and can get as technical as you'd like. In past, for my personnal
usage, I've also used AceHtml ([url]http://www.visicommedia.com/acehtml/[/url]).
They've been in the business for quite some time now (five or six years I
think) and the package is now very professional, at a consumer price.
See if the following URL gets you to the page for downloading Netscape 4.79.
Hope this works for you.
Netscape 4.79.
Surely there's a more up to date version than that, Al? For mac they're up to 7.02. Anyway, it still includes composer--doesn't have the "canned" pages that Front Page does, but also doesn't produce code that tends to not to render on anything but IEwin.

I have Windows 98 and Netscape 7.02 works just fine.>I think you have to play around with the Netscape version in terms of what Windows operating system you have. For example, I have two computers. The older one has Windows 98, and wouldn't operate Netscape with anything beyond 4.something, so it remains with Netscape 4.7.

Thanks for all this info.
I have WIN-XP and also use Internet Explorer. I looked around the many programs that came already installed with the computer, and under ALL PROGRAMS>INTERNET EXPLORER (after "games" in the list) there is >Web Publishing Wizard. Perhaps this is a cousin to Netscape Composer. I can not find out anything about it - no help files that I can see.
Both Netscape and Microsoft have made free web authoring tools. Netscape
made Composer and Microsoft made a free version of FrontPage both were very
good and while there were difference they didn't add up to much. Way back
in the dark ages of the web I taught Doreen how to do HTML using one of
these programs and while it doesn't really matter I can't remember which
one. I suspect that the only one still available is Composer and it is a
very good place to start. In any event you can check out her first effort to
see what they can do at [url]http://home.cogeco.ca/~doreen.dixon/ddcanoe.htm[/url]
Now, after creating and maintaining a number of web sites on a professional
level Doreen has move on to my Favourite product Homesite but this is not
for those that don't know how to hand roll HTML.
I used to do everything in... Notepad ! Honnest! In 1994.
Since then, things have changed a bit (for the best, that is!) :)

Ray, lots of people still do. You'd be amazed how many people come to the Apple support forum asking why the one mac in their office can't see their webpage. The first question is always, "notepad?"
EDIT I should mention for those who don't know that you can make a decent webpage in notepad, Appleworks or anything else as long as you know enough to be able to go in and clean up the code afterwards. All the apps which have web page creation as a subset of what they do tend to generate pretty junky code if you plan to just rely on "save as HTML." But if you know what you're doing they can work just fine.
No, it's from the IT dept, it's used to test the webpage for compatibility
issue (so I've been told).
It's teal. But I would have bought only to familiarize myself with Mac.
They sell computers all the time at a fixed 100 C$ (73 U$). So I've figured
this would have come cheap, somehow, for a learning tool.
And once I would have been done with it, I would have given it to my
brother, who still uses a Mac LC... the LC, btw, is living on borrowed
time. Many of his applications requiring updates do no support Mac OS 8,
which my brother's computer is still running. I'm not sure but I think it
Mac OS 8 (or perhaps 7).
Comcast cable provided me with 25 mb of space for web pages. But that is
all, just the space, no software and no support.
The only thing I have is a page that has my C: on the left and on the right
is my web page (which is blank execpt fot the default index page).
I made two pages with Publisher and sent them to "my web page" here but it
did not work. Calling comcast cable they said they were not compatable with
None of this makes any sense to someone that knows nothing about these darn
Oh Comcsat cable did say to go to this site:
But that does not answer my questions of just how the heck I get pages to
where they go once I do them. If anyone thinks they can help I have a
screen shot of that publishing page from comcast. Maybe someone here
already uses it. Hope!
(Grant, I know I should be working on something else. I will be sending
very soon)
Publisher can create website, but it has no means to upload them to your
website. So, the information you need is the ftp site (many service
providers use this mean to upload webpages). You'll also need to know your
username / password for this ftp server (sometimes, they differ from the
ones of your cable connection). Other softwares will publish your website
directly from the editor, like Frontpage. But to do so, the service
providers needs to support Frontpage (not all do).
Then, you can upload your html pages and images to your website using the
ftp command (or a small utility downloaded from the internet) in Windows.
P.S. I'm home today, so write to me if you need more help. I've been there
before, so perhaps I can help :) [email]carbonevideotron.ca[/email]

Cambodian tennis players Yi Sarun, Pel Oum and Mey Rin arrive at Riga Airport in what is now known as Latvia, for an international tennis tournament in 1986. Photo Supplied
The Kingdom's oldest active tennis player, 65-year-old Yi Sarun, has one burning desire. "I want to impart tennis lessons to kids as long as I can so that they can achieve in their playing time what we missed out on."
For a man who joined government forces against the Khmer Rouge insurgency in the tough terrain of Ratanakkiri at the height of his tennis prowess, age has only been a matter of numbers. Every passing year seems to have made him that much more determined to carry on playing.
"I want to play till I drop dead," he said. If a man has that kind of zest for tennis, and no real concern for ageing limbs, no wonder he is the most sought after as a hitting partner at the VIP Club here.
Yi Sarun is ready for a knock at any time of the day, and he doesn't play to live but lives to play. "I make some little money. People give me US$5 an hour for a knock. But I love to play as long as my legs and body allow me to," says the father of three, whose tennis-playing son in the army is no chip off the old block.
It is not the kind of pleasure or leisure tennis that Yi Sarun is made of. He had been a fierce competitor and feared contender in his prime, cruelly interrupted by war and its tragic aftermath. His tennis kit gathered dust for years. His life was in tatters but amazingly his tennis was intact, a great survivor who lived through the lows of life to find its meaning in tennis on either side of the genocide, civil war and a total economic collapse.
In his formative years, his native Battambang offered him nothing for all the passion and desire he had developed for tennis, watching the rich and the famous of the day play. But his interest was heightened in Phnom Penh when he had a chance to watch tennis near Wat Phnom on the location where the United States Embassy presently stands.
For the quick learner that he was, an unknown benefactor came along to put him through his first steps. He picked up the threads so rapidly that his tennis exploits reached the provinces and he was the one to beat in tournaments. By the mid '60s, Yi Sarun's reputation would precede him everywhere he played and it was not long before the recognition for his precocious talent came from none other than the Kingdom's best player at the time, Tep Khunnah.
"It was Mr Tep Khunnah who asked me to join the national team immediately," said Yi Sarun. It was a lucky break at the right time for the fast-improving Yi Sarun, for whom the place in the national team meant a stint with world famous Australian coach Harry Hopman.
"We were under Hopman for a few months and when he left, a Chinese coach took over. But after three months he suggested that the team be sent to China for one-year extensive coaching," added Yi Sarun. So the team went to China.
However, life and tennis took a nasty turn for Yi Sarun upon his return. The insurgency disrupted normal life and the Khmer Rouge take over brought untold miseries. Like legions of unfortunate men, Yi Sarun was driven out of Phnom Penh to a bleak and terrifying future in Takeo.
"I knew the only way to save my life was to shed my uniform. They told us that we have to go out of Phnom Penh for three days. It took four years," he said.
The '70s was a decade of hell for Yi Sarun. It wasn't until the early '80's that he pulled out his tennis bag from the so called rubble left from the war. The landscape had changed and the opportunities had dried up. It was with anxiety and apprehension that Yi Sarun trekked with his national teammate Mey Rin to the newly built tennis facility at the Olympic Stadium in the middle of 1983.
They saw foreigners, mostly Russians, playing and pleaded for jobs. Luckily they were given work on the basketball courts and soccer pitches.
"They were giving us food in return for our work," Yi Sarun said. "No money, and it took almost a year or two to get back to the tennis courts." Once back with his favourite pastime, he returned to his best despite pushing 40 at the time.
When Yi Sarun was shuffling back to a normal tennis life, up came another notable break in 1986. This time the Soviet embassy in Phnom Penh sponsored Yi Sarun, Pel Oum and Mey Rin to take part in an international tournament in Riga, the capital of the then Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic.
"It was a great trip. We won a couple of matches, it was such a strong event, but it gave me a new direction," he said.
"I do not regret what I didn't get. I am happy with what I eventually got from tennis. Maybe in good times things would have been better."
Mey Rin passed away a few years ago and Pel Oum has retired from the game, but Yi Sarun is refusing to quit. If you catch sight of a man with a wrinkled face, a slight stoop, and walking purposefully with a tennis bag around his shoulder you can be sure it is Yi Sarun on his way to another tennis session.

From East Valley Tribune:
Two high schools in Gilbert are in the midst of a competition to get a burger named after them for a month at a new downtown restaurant.
Gilbert High School and Mesquite High have spent the last two-plus weeks competing in a contest to see which school can get the most hashtags for Zinburger Wine + Burger Bar. Students, staff and community members have either used an image from the Zinburger website or used a photo from the school and posted it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms hashtagged #GHSZinburger or #MHSZinburger to represent each school. The schools have until Oct. 28 to post the hashtags, and Zinburger will announce the winner Oct. 30.
Whichever school wins will have a burger named after it for the month of November — Zinburger general manager Dericka Pradt said the restaurant usually has specialty burgers weekly — as well as free French fries to students from the winning school throughout November.
Gilbert High School student council adviser Sara Lazar said the fries have proven to be a good motivator for students, but she said the biggest incentive for the Tigers' participation is the portion of the proceeds the winning school receives from the burger.
"If we win, we're splitting all the money we get to all the clubs on campus," she said.
Lazar said the school has used that as a motivation to get as many students involved in the contest as possible, although she pointed out the potential for free French fries has provided a strong incentive as well.
Word of mouth has been the way Gilbert High has gotten its students, teachers and others involved, but Lazar said a factor that has helped the students is the format of the contest. Teenagers, she said, use social media frequently, so using that as the format is in essence second nature for the high school students.
"It's very current and something they're comfortable with, something they're doing," she said.
Mesquite student council adviser Jodi Alder said students at her school, as well as the school's alumni, have taken to the contest and are doing what they can to flood social media with the school's hashtag.
Both Gilbert High and Mesquite are part of the Gilbert Public Schools district, although they aren't traditional rivals, at least athletically, because their football teams play in different divisions, and Lazar said her school's traditional rival is fellow Gilbert Public Schools member Highland High School.
Alder said the relationship had a slightly different view of the schools' competitive relationship, although she said the other school isn't necessarily the top priority for the Mesquite students.
"We just like to win, regardless of the opponent, we just like to win," she said.
Pradt said the reason Zinburger picked Gilbert High and Mesquite was because of proximity; the schools are the two closest high schools to the restaurant's location in Gilbert.
"These are going to be people who are going to be our guests," she said.
Zinburger's Gilbert location is at 344 N. Gilbert Road. More information about the restaurant is available by visiting zinburgeraz.com.

Belthangady, April 20, 2017 : In a bizarre case of Facebook love, a 34 year old married woman and mother of two from Belthangady who was reported missing since April 7 has been traced at Kannur where she was found married and settled with a 27 year old youth.
The woman, it has been gathered is reluctant to return to her first husband, while the Kerala youth whom she had married was aghast on knowing that she had cheated him. It has been gathered that the woman had used the marks sheet of another woman of an identical name to prove her age as 24 as she told her lover, by affixing her photo in place of the photo of the woman to whom the marks sheet originally belonged to.
The woman, worked for an educational institution while her husband is a rubber tapper. The couple has two daughters studying in ninth and fourth standards respectively. Sources said she had opened an FB account in a different name claiming herself to be a 24 year old girl. She had thus made several friends of whom she fell in love with the youth from Koothuparamba Kaitheri in Kannur.
It has been gathered that efforts were underway to get her back to Belthangady. Meanwhile, sources said the Kerala police had failed in extending necessary co-operation to the Belthangady police in probing the case.

Unusual hotels
Hotel — place "unusual"
Hotels appear and flourish where they are needed, and for a guest they are no longer just a place to sleep. In the battle for customers owners try to stand out. And because the trend is "unusual" hotels
Today the hotel ceases to be a guest only for a place to sleep. People pay more attention to comfort, modern equipment, environmentally friendly rooms. According to my projections, will increase the number of hotels with ecocertification. In developed countries, ecology pay much attention.
Generally in the trend of "unusual" hotels. One of their obvious characteristics is a special location. This is followed by the materials from which the building is constructed. Finally, additional options. In the battle for customers owners try to stand out. As a result of appear in caves in the mountains, made of ice.
In the foothills of the Pyrenees lies the hotel Airstream which furthered the tradition of holidays in mobile homes-vans, characteristic of the America of the 1950s. the Tale of the time machine here is similar to reality thanks to a black-and-white television sets and other retro-style.
And spouses of ILM and Frank Appel of the Dutch village of Hoogwoud has turned into a family hotel the two most common tram cars. Four rooms are equipped with Talkonaut, shower and toilet, but also a kitchen and different interior details. Special feature in our country — hotels in former prisons, even prison food. And entertainment — a walk in the yard.
GOST Hotel Management also have pisecny mini-hotel "Sretenskaya". He is the eponymous streets of Moscow, in the former princely chambers, a twenty minute walk from red square and the Kremlin: the original interior in the tradition of Russian folklore, the atmosphere of antiquity and luxury. Credo — excellent service and delicious dishes worthy of any gourmet. Cooks and restore the ancient Russian recipes. Since December 2010, we are reviving the brand "Russian Hotels", which went over and under "Candlemas", and Nizhny Novgorod the volna hotel.
Now prepare to open the boutique-hotel "Pushkin" on Tverskoy. Here the architecture of a nine-storey building is designed in the style of Russian art Nouveau. The interior is done in harmony with the architecture. We have conceived of "Pushkin" as an island of luxury and decadence. Technical equipment should make life comfortable, but not too edgy.
Hotels appear and flourish where they are needed. Opens a new resort — so to build a hotel. Or, for example, in Viet Nam, the liberalization of the political climate led to the influx of tourists from other countries.
Of course, the most profitable major hotels. But the word "profitable" could mean two things: the ability to return the investment and get operating profit. So, if you made a mini-hotel in a suitable location with a sound concept — will be able to save on staff. It is important to divide the amount of own and borrowed funds. Initially to build up the business. To be a competent Manager. Ideally — the most fully cover all aspects of the work. For example, GOST Hotel Management is developing in three directions: hotel management, consulting at every stage of building or reconstruction of the facility and implementation of hotel services. Doing as a country retreat and city hotels. Among the objects of business and boutique hotels, ski and health resort complexes…
In Russia, the hotel business has its own characteristics. In some cities tourism. The Russians are beginning to travel not only to other countries but in their homeland. Hotels with a decent service more and more. Mastered province. The market affects the organization of mass events: the FIFA world Cup, the APEC summit in Vladivostok, Sochi Olympics. Of course, niches still exist. Will be probably five years before they will be filled, and the competition becomes tougher. The biggest problem is a large territory with different levels of life in the regions. If, for example, in Azerbaijan to develop Baku and the resort, half the country will be covered. We have a different story.
A separate issue is the selection and training of personnel. Especially in the province. On the training of employees can save. After all, if the hotel hamovataya administrator or careless maid, the customer is not coming back here.
This expectation differ. Guests of the suites, almost all now boring. This audience shifted in fancy hotels or private tours for new routes. The middle class, spending on a vacation about 10 percent of the annual budget, most of them aimed at a five star all inclusive in format last minute deals — Turkey or Maldives. But, in my opinion, in a hotel of any level should be comfortable. Worst of all — disappointed expectations when pictures and descriptions of places at odds with reality.
One of the important components of hotel service the restaurant, as there is the greatest number of staff. In the West it is common practice that the hotel appears a restaurant under the brand name of any chef. In Russia it is still a wonder. For us typical standard Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet. Sometimes it is enough to restrict ourselves solely to Breakfast. Thus, the network of St. Petersburg mini-hotels, Bed&breakfast, located in the former communal apartments in the city center, offers only a light morning snack of tea and oatmeal, are easy to cook at the apartment kitchen.
The hotel restaurant is a special theme which requires individual study for each project. Take into account the area, the tourist flows, competitive environment. In any case, it is important to hotel guests and guests from outside. Otherwise the business will be difficult to survive. A big help will be a well-written calendar of festive events. The restaurant and the hotel must be considered together.

Investigation of impedance control for robot manipulators
International Journal of Robotics Research , Volume 12 - Issue 5 p. 473- 489
This article documents investigations into impedance control carried out on a direct drive robot manipulator. Both linear and nonlinear versions of impedance controllers have been investigated. The two impedance controllers have been simulated numerically and implemented on Carleton University's direct drive robot. The performance of these controllers is experimentally compared in terms of force trajectory following and contact stability. The article highlights the practical and experimental limitations of the proposed methods. Furthermore, the experimental results indicate that the controller design, the manipulator kinematics, and the desired task must all be considered and evaluated simultaneously.

When Elena Frampton designs any home — whether it's an apartment in Manhattan or a house in the suburbs or at the beach — there's an important moment that comes just before she's done. "At the end of every project, it's pillows, blankets, trays and objects," said Ms. Frampton, 42, the owner of Frampton Co, an interior design firm in New York.
And the trays, in particular, aren't simply about accessorizing a space, but also making it more livable, she said: "There's a reality to how people live; there will always be keys and mail — where do those go? If you're serving cocktails, what are they on?"
The answer usually involves trays, versatile catchalls that "bring style to organization," she said. "You can use them on the entry hall console table; on a coffee table to pull small things together; on a desk to make piles of stuff look more attractive; on a bar cart with napkins, accessories and glasses; on a bedside table for a vase and reading glasses; and on vanities and dressing tables for cosmetics — it's endless."
Of course, not every tray works in every situation. To choose the right one, consider the following:
• "Some trays are food-safe and some are not," said Ms. Frampton, so make sure to check the manufacturer's product description if you intend to use a tray for serving.
• Do you plan to move it around or leave it in one place? If a tray is going to be carried between rooms on a regular basis, she said, opt for a design with handles.
• How will it behave when it comes into contact with other things? Some materials, like lacquer and Lucite, scratch more easily than others. And if the tray will rest on a delicate surface, Ms. Frampton said, look for one with a soft bottom.
The Quick Fix
100% Trays | $79 for a set of three at Blu Dot; (844) 425-8368 or bludot.com
"It's three for the price of one," Ms. Frampton said. The trays could be nested together or used separately. "It's a nice mix of colors, and that corner detail is a great bit of design." On a desk or tabletop, she noted, "it would bring some interest."
The Future Heirloom
Vertigo Silver-Plated Round Serving Tray | $850 at Christofle; (800) 599-2352 or christofle.com
Ms. Frampton is a "huge fan" of Andrée Putman, the designer of this tray, which has integrated handles and "a sculptural quality that feels like it will always be timeless," she said. "Silver plate is also a forever material."
The Object of the Moment
Square Thick Resin Striped Tray | $695 at Mecox; (212) 249-5301 or mecox.com
High-contrast stripes are enjoying a moment, but they also have enduring appeal, Ms. Frampton said. "It's always going to be on trend, and will work anywhere, with anything," she said. This particular resin tray is "its own statement piece — you don't want to fill it up."
The Classic
Chakor PM Tray | $690 to $810 at Hermès; (800) 441-4488 or usa.hermes.com
This tray is available in different colors of lacquer with a calfskin tab, but Ms. Frampton said she liked it most in signature Hermès orange, because the color plays well with almost everything. "I envision it in a beautiful dressing room," she said.
The Curveball
Chrome Dune Tray | $150 to $210 at Kartell; (212) 966-6665 or kartell.com
"Most trays look flat, but this has a three-dimensional effect, which is surprising," Ms. Frampton said. Designed by the Italian architect Mario Bellini, "it has a crumpled look that is so fun" — perfect as a conversation starter for parties.

I would say that Budapest would be the beginning of what most people consider to be "Eastern Europe," making it not quite as far to travel, but still with the benefits of being a little outside the traditional Europe tourist zone. Recently I visited Budapest for my second time and it was amazing. Food and beer are cheap, the ruinbars are super cool, and it is such a beautiful city to get lost in. This time around I was too early to catch the Christmas markets, (which are truly a great experience if you get the chance!) but that also meant that it was not below freezing the entire time I was there!
My favorite restaurant in Budapest by far is Frici Papa. You can get a plate of beef goulash with traditional gnocchis and a pint of Soproni for 7 euros – not bad at all. Service might not be amazing, but I always let that slide because first of all the place is always packed so I can't blame them, also prices are great, and service in Europe is always different in comparison to the tip-centric US. After a filling dinner at Frici Papa, one of the oldest ruinbars in Budapest, Szimpla Kert is only a couple blocks away. This ruinbar is truly amazing, it makes you feel like you've entered into a different universe. The mix of people at Szimpla is also interesting, it is so big there is space for older people as well as young people. They have multiple bars throughout the building, and although its not the cheapest place for drinks in Budapest, compared to Western Europe everything is a good deal. There is also a hookah room on the first floor if you're looking to sit down and chill out for a bit.
The thermal baths are another thing that Budapest is famous for. I have been to both the Szechenyi Baths as well as the Gellert Spa, and both are amazing. The Szechenyi bath is the one that most tourists go to. It has the massive outdoor pool that everyone takes photos of. They also have parties on the weekends during the summer months. My recent experience at the Gellert Spa felt more authentic, probably because it is quite a bit older than the Szechenyi Baths and there were less Americans. The big outdoor pool was unfortunately closed at Gellert when we visited because it was winter, but it looked beautiful. The architecture and mosaics inside the spa were unreal. At Gellert they have a Finnish sauna outside which was super fun, as well as a smaller thermal bath outside that was around 36 degrees Celsius. Inside there were multiple thermal baths and all were gorgeous. If you really like baths and you want to spend the money to try out a couple that would be ideal, but if you just want to do one I personally preferred Gellert Spa.
Insider Tip
Climbing up Gellert Hill to the Citadela for sunset is awesome! But the best seats aren't at the top, the benches along the trek up are better places to avoid all the tourists.

Pressure from Friends of the Earth and supporting groups has created an announcement from Chris Huhne, the Energy Minister, to state that a new law will be introduced to ensure that landlords make the worst of their properties more energy efficient.
"From 2018, the rental of the very worst performing properties – those rated F and G – will be banned through a minimum energy efficiency standard" Chris Huhne.
This will not take effect immediately, but will hopefully encourage people to take stock of their properties early on to reach compliance for the new legislation to come into force in 2018. If you own property that is either a family home or on the rental market and would like to improve the energy efficiency, contact us to discuss the various options to upgrade and in turn reduce the energy and cost of heating the property.


text: ChihPeng 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2017 Hello, I encounter a problem when running Hyperstudy in batch mode in my university's computing server. I tried batch mode on my computer and it worked. But when I copy to the server, there were errors. Here's brief description of my model: 1. I use tpl model. 2. I want to use batch mode to run the approach "opt_3". opt_3 is copied from opt_1, but I disable some parameter in opt_1. 3. I disable the following execution checkbox of approaches nom, doe, opt_1,opt_2. Only enable opt_3. After copying xml and tpl file to server, I changed the content of <pathorigin> and <folder> tag in "xml" file.and got some error messages below: 1 Message: Settings location ( d:\Users\cc-161970\AppData\Local\Altair\HyperS tudySettings.xml ) 2 Warning: Could not find argument ( filenames ) in command ( Purge (cmd_purge) ) ... 7 Warning: Could not find argument ( archname ) in command ( Create Archive ( cmd_create_archive) ) ... 22 Error : No template file specified for model ( Model 1 (m_1) ) 23 Error : All model references must be resolved for ( Optimization 3 (opt_3) ) 24 Error : Validating optimization failed! 25 Error : AttributeError: 'GenRpt_Hst_Xls' object has no attribute '_intfXls I have several questions: 1. in message 1: There's no setting file in the shown path. Should I copy one from my computer to that path in sever? Or where could I change that setting location ? 2. for warning 2 and 7, do that matter? what should I do in the xml file? 3. about the errors, it seems the xml file cannot find tpl file. I already modified the path to where tpl is. What else I should do? I attach my files. If you could guide me a bit, I'll be really grateful. Many thanks, ChihPeng errorMessage.txt extension_4beams.tpl Study_1.xml extension_4beams.fem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 16-month-old start-up, which pays members to surf the Web and view advertisements, cut its work force by 60 people Friday. The company will now employ 600 internationally. The layoffs came within all divisions of the company and focused on U.S.-based employees, the company said.
Hayward, Calif.-based AllAdvantage has become a victim of its own costly success. It draws new members by promising them cash for time spent online. Companies then pay AllAdvantage to run targeted ads based on member profiles.
But the weight of paying its members has ended up crushing AllAdvantage's revenues. The company paid $32.7 million to members from December to March but made only $9.1 million in the same period.
Along with skyrocketing member costs, the size of the company has mushroomed since March 1999.
"That kind of growth is too fast now that market conditions have changed," Jim Jorgensen, AllAdvantage's chief executive, said in a statement. "We have taken stock of the large number of assets we have created, and our plan going forward is to leverage all of these assets more efficiently."
Earlier this month, AllAdvantage halted plans to go public. The company cited adverse market conditions, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In February, it filed to sell 15 million shares to the public for $8 to $10.
The company now must cut costs to survive. In June, it reduced the number of hours it will pay members to surf and lengthened its pay schedule.
Months after the company launched, nearly 7 million people had signed up. Nearly 2 million now actively participate. The company said the layoffs are also part of an effort to consolidate departments.

CEO of Wynn Resorts Matt Maddox recently revealed that his company has formed a consortium with local partners as it looks to secure a Japanese casino licence. Coming eight years after starting the process, the consortium will investigate the suitability of multiple cities to host their Integrated Resort (IR) in the region.
While it is no secret that Wynn's preferred location up to now has been Osaka, Maddox said that Wynn is looking at multiple cities who they think will be the best competitors in the bidding process.
Speaking the US news channel CNBC about the opening of their US$2.6 billion Encore Boston Harbor IR, he said, "it's the same thing that happened in Massachusetts – no-one targeted the Boston area because they thought it wouldn't happen. We did, and we won it."
Maddox is upbeat on their operations in the Greater Bay Area of Macau as they help the Macau government create more destinations for tourists and attracting more gamers into the area and is keen to point out that they employ more than 13,000 people in a business packed with fun and tourism - something Wynn is looking forward to replicating in Japan.
What do you think, will Wynn's consortium approach pay dividends in the long run or would a more focussed approach be better? Let us know your thoughts on Twitter or on our Facebook page where you can stay up to date with the latest industry news and all things Dragon related.

|Red Snapper Fishing on the Gulf Coast
"Premises and Goals"
Editor's Note: The Three Musketeers have spent the last five weeks interviewing red snapper fishermen from all sectors. This is the fourth in a five part series which delves into some of the issues and possible solutions to the management of red snapper on the Gulf Coast.
March 23, 2017
Exceptional results start with defining relevant premises. Our premises include:
Additionally we have a number of goals. The first is to improve the accuracy of the data on the red snapper fishery so wise decisions can be made about the overall catch limits. If the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has egregiously understated the supply of red snapper then NOAA must significantly increase the allowable catch. This seemingly universal belief defines the first critical set of tasks; develop plans and provide the resources to determine the actual supply, and determining the true demand for red snapper. NOAA should provide the funding while the Gulf States' fish and wildlife agencies should do the work necessary to get an accurate assessment in both state and federal waters.
