The right couldn't stage a coup because liberals dominate nearly every institution of American politics and culture. Yet liberals refuse to see it.
After the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, the New York Times and other publications on the left began calling the event an "insurrection" and an attempted "coup." The riot was an appalling and dishonorable event, and the perpetrators of its crimes are rightly being prosecuted. But to call it an attempted coup is preposterous—and not simply for the practical reason that the prosecuted rioters weren't indicted for treason or conspiracy to overthrow the government but for obstruction of an official proceeding, trespassing on government property, disorderly conduct and the like. The idea that Donald Trump and his followers had any chance of overthrowing the U.S. government, or even that they aimed at that outcome, is a delusion. That delusion springs from American liberal elites' failure to accept the fact of their own predominance.
The literary critic Lionel Trilling observed in "The Liberal Imagination" (1950) that "in the United States at this time liberalism is not only the dominant but even the sole intellectual tradition." He went on to assert that "nowadays there are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation" and that "the conservative impulse and the reactionary impulse do not, with some isolated and some ecclesiastical exceptions, express themselves in ideas but only in action or in irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas."
You can quibble with the claim—the works of Friedrich Hayek, for one, were well known at the time—but his point was basically sound. In 1950 there was no conservative movement in America. There was a general disposition to honor traditional virtues, valorize patriotism and promote religious observance. But as a social and political philosophy, liberalism was the only game in town.
In later decades a homegrown conservative movement would shake things up (more on that in a moment), but a lifetime later the essence of Trilling's claim still obtains. It is irrefutable that some form of modern liberalism or progressivism prevails in nearly every sphere of American public life: the news media, the universities, K-12 education, the entertainment industry, corporate boardrooms, mainline religious organizations, college and professional sports (excluding the fans), much of U.S. military bureaucracy, and state and federal agencies. The only spheres in which the left's dominance is seriously disputed are electoral politics, for the simple reason that American voters still incline in a broadly conservative direction, and the judiciary, which is shaped by the political branches.
As a cultural and political outlook in the U.S., the ascendancy of liberalism—or progressivism, as its more strident manifestation is termed—is about as certain in 2021 as it was, according to Trilling, in the middle of the last century. Liberalism faces political opposition from time to time; its march has been interrupted by the election of people determined to stop it. But even in politics it has eventually triumphed everywhere: Traditional moral values have long since fled from the public square, every new constituency claiming persecution has received special political rights, the welfare state is in a permanent state of growth, and there is no obvious limit to what the federal government will spend in pursuit of liberal aims.
Occasional protests flare up—a "bathroom bill" here, an abortion regulation there—but these are met with ferocious denunciations from celebrities, boycotts from heavyweight corporations and relentlessly censorious press coverage. The protests soon fizzle. Sometimes an entire movement will dispute liberalism's ascendancy, but it is soon pronounced a threat to civilization and fades from view. Remember the religious right?
Yet liberals and progressives always sound as though liberalism is on the brink of demise, a step or two away from overthrow by a rival ideology. They fail to appreciate that American conservatism is—and has been for the past 70 years—a response to a hegemonic liberalism. Conservatives dabble in irredentist tropes during elections, as if they might actually one day overpower their adversaries. But American conservatism doesn't have the power, even if it wanted to, to sweep aside cobwebbed liberal institutions and remake them along the lines of a conservative philosophy.
John Stuart Mill, in "Considerations on Representative Government" (1861), called the Conservative Party "the stupidest party," now often misquoted as "the stupid party." There is something to the notion that conservatives are, on balance, dumber than liberals—at least on subjects liberals care most about. Liberals are urban sophisticates and cognizant of the latest ideas; conservatives generally aren't. Most conservatives have arrived at their views by instinct and disposition, not by formal instruction and reading think pieces.
Members of the stupid party have their virtues. They don't fall for highfalutin ideologies and avoid changing things for no good reason. But on political topics their views are often inconsistent and undisciplined. A substantial minority of them, however sound their instincts on the largest questions, are at all times in danger of expressing idiotic bigotries or alleging nonsensical conspiracies.
In part for these reasons conservatives don't figure prominently among the U.S. cultural elite, media class and tenured professoriate. The right has always been a force in politics and policy making—because, again, politics turns on elections, and there are a lot of conservative voters in a lot of places. But conservatism has never been much more than an intermittent annoyance in, say, the Washington press corps or higher education.
It was the great achievement of William F. Buckley Jr. to consolidate what was otherwise a disparate and fractured right. By the force of his personality and superhuman productivity, he managed to bring together free marketeers and social conservatives into a more or less coherent movement. Some had to be kept out—Ayn Rand, the irrationally anticommunist John Birchers. But other figures used their gifts to ensure that the right remained consolidated and politically effective: this newspaper's longtime editor Robert L. Bartley, who championed the virtues of markets and warned against the encroachments of governmental rationalizers; Norman Podhoretz, Irving Kristol and other neoconservatives who embraced a hawkish foreign policy and urged the right to champion specific policy reforms; social conservatives who fulminated against the cultural hedonism of aging beatniks.
By the 1970s it was no longer true, as Trilling had it, that there were "no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation." That didn't mean conservatives held anything close to the cultural power of liberals. Because attention tends to fix on electoral politics, a casual observer could be forgiven for positing a rough parity between left and right. But there was no parity at, for instance, the network news channels or Ivy League universities or the big movie studios.
One way to gauge the power of left and right is to consider the policy positions of the two parties. I am not sure how many books by liberal authors I've read over the past 15 years claiming that the Republican Party has drifted so far to the right as to be a lost cause and perhaps a menace to democracy itself.
But has it moved so far? The Congressional GOP's tactics became extreme during the Obama years—threatening government shutdowns and the like. Mr. Trump gave the party an attitudinal assertiveness it never had before. But on policy the Republican Party has remained mostly static. In 2021 the GOP holds about the same positions it held 40 years ago. Republicans favor lower personal and corporate taxes, reform of entitlement programs, less government spending (at least when Democrats are in charge), a traditional lock-'em-up approach to law enforcement, broad restrictions on abortion, higher military spending and a more hawkish foreign policy. Republicans may be faulted for a lack of imagination on questions of policy, but not for "drifting" in a rightward direction, except perhaps on immigration and trade. On some important questions—same-sex marriage, for example—the GOP has either moved leftward or given up.
The national Democratic Party in 2021 is another thing altogether. The party has moved consistently leftward over the same 40 years, dramatically so over the last five. The Democratic Party, or a preponderant part of it, now advocates universal prekindergarten, federal child care, direct welfare payments to parents, a massive rearrangement of the economy to address climate change, free college education and fully socialized health insurance—including for illegal aliens. The party flirts with any radical idea to come along: a tax on wealth, racial reparations, abolition of police and prisons. These aren't views that Democrats of 1980, or 2000, would recognize.
The party of the left, owing to its overwhelming presence across an array of American institutions, has the luxury of staking out novel and ideologically attractive positions. The party of the right doesn't. So comprehensive is the mastery enjoyed by today's liberals that many of them show little awareness that holding conservative views is something intelligent and morally responsible people sometimes do. One reason so many people on the left have abandoned their belief in free speech and adopted a prissy totalitarian outlook is that they rarely or never encounter people who openly hold standard conservative views.
Which brings us back to Donald Trump. His nomination in 2016, and even more his election to the presidency, was an anguished outcry against decades of aggressions. It wasn't wise or sensible, but it was understandable as a frantic attempt to stay the hand of an uncompromising cultural leftism.
The leftward-inclining elites who dominate American institutions didn't interpret it that way. They classified it, as they had classified the tea-party revolt of 2009–10, as an expression of racism and hatred, thus relieving themselves of any responsibility to take it seriously or to discern its meaning. They employed every conceivable tool in an effort to remove Mr. Trump from office. Intellectuals and commentators called him a fascist; top-drawer authors blamed him for coronavirus deaths; officials of the Federal Bureau of Investigation worked with political operatives and for-hire spies to frame him as a Russian asset; the U.S. media accepted and publicized the hoax wholesale; former military and intelligence officials openly called him a traitor; federal security bureaucracies hatched plots to have him impeached; and the entertainment industry used every opportunity to cast him as a villainous madman and a snarling racist idiot.
Mr. Trump's postelection claims of election theft were not worse than his enemies' attempts to delegitimize his 2016 election by pretending the outcome was a consequence of Vladimir Putin's machinations. But his claims were false and without excuse, and his maniacal repetition of them led directly to the disgrace of the Capitol riot.
What the former president's cultured despisers fail to appreciate, however, is that four years of subversion, slander and scorched-earth resistance made his cockamamie claims sound credible to a large audience of otherwise sane and sensible Americans. They may have entertained many incorrect notions about the 2020 election, but they were right to conclude that Mr. Trump's enemies possessed far more power and influence than he did and were willing to defeat him by any means necessary, including unethical ones.
The idea that the Capitol rioters threatened the American republic is a fantasy. Even to pose such a threat, they would have needed to do far more than break into an unguarded Capitol building and stop Vice President Mike Pence from certifying the count of the Electoral College. To stage a coup, these renegades would have needed the backing of the military; and to govern afterward they would have needed cooperation from other institutions, including the news media and the federal bureaucracy. They had no support from those quarters and no hope of getting it. Their effort was witless and pointless, a dud grenade thrown at an armored division.
Even so, the riot will live on in the public consciousness as an "insurrection" and attempted "coup" because it encourages the left's irrational fear of conquest by the right. The danger is that this paranoia keeps liberals from understanding their own dominant position—and acknowledging how illiberally they often exploit it.

If you have been experimenting with your digicam, you may be wondering "what is digital camera autofocus." After all, the best digital cameras all seem to include this functionality. So what is autofocus? Keep reading to find out.
As the name suggests, autofocus is short for automatic focus. This is a feature of most modern digital cameras in which the focal length and focus settings are handled automatically without any input from the photographer. You might find great autofocus with this camera comparison of the Sony Alpha A6000 mirrorless digital camera vs Nikon D5300.
Insider Tip
Autofocus can be a life-saver when it comes to action photography, as the focus can be set quicker than a human can typically do it.
There are many reasons why you would opt for the autofocus feature on a digital camera. First and foremost, autofocus is a boon for those just starting out, as it handles many of the more complicated settings without any user input. Autofocus can also save time in setting up a shot, which can be extremely useful with a moving subject or with macro photography. Autofocus can also be used for instantaneous image stabilization, answering the question of "what is image stabilization in a digital camera."
Every camera is different, though the specific steps to successfully use the autofocus feature will differ slightly. In that spirit, we have assembled some universal tips and guidelines.
Many mirrorless cameras have one of a number of different autofocus functionalities buried in the settings menu, whether they use a reflex mirror or not. The most powerful autofocus feature is called active autofocus, which differs greatly from the live view mode on a digital camera. This mode actually measures the distance from the camera to the subject to provide accurate focus and continuous focus. Another popular type of autofocus is called passive autofocus. This mode typically emits an infrared beam to measure the distance from the subject before focus is applied. Both autofocus modes are easier to use than manual focus.
Turn autofocus on and stare into the camera's electronic viewfinder, where you should see some perfectly framed focus subjects. This optical viewfinder should react in real-time as you move, so there is no need to place the camera on a tripod. The electronic viewfinder is also useful if you are wondering how to use it and what continuous drive is on a digital camera. The autofocus will automatically disengage when you press the shutter release button and stop any continuous drive photo sets or burst mode sets, you are creating.
Most types of cameras use autofocus, including compact cameras and mirrorless cameras. Your average full-frame camera will also typically include an autofocus feature.
When it comes to slow exposures, autofocus may not be your best bet, as the manual focus will provide more control and, ultimately, accurate focusing.
Are old manual-focus lenses any good on a modern digital SLR or mirrorless camera?
This depends on what you shoot and how you shoot. Old lenses have their charms, after all. Some older lenses could be good for distant subjects while others may be interchangeable lenses.
What's the best digital camera for my old lenses?
This depends on what type of old lenses you are talking about, though Canon EOS models typically offer a good fit. Besides Canon EOS, there are reputable models by Sony and other well-known manufacturers.
What is the best camera to buy for a beginner photographer?
When it comes to beginner-friendly mirrorless cameras, look for one with a reliable optical viewfinder, such as the Canon EOS series, and one with a tactile and responsive shutter button.
STAT: Most modern DSLRs use a smaller sensor that is APS-C sized, which is approximately 22×15 mm, slightly smaller than the size of an APS-C film frame, or about 40% of the area of a full-frame sensor. (source)

Every Which Way But Dead
Book #3 of the Hollows Series
by Kim Harrison
Published: Harper Voyager – July 2005
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Pages: 501 (paperback)
Purchase at:
Rating: ★★★★★ (5 stars)
The Good
Big Al, the demon, is coming to collect after Rachel made a deal with him to become his familiar. He may be a scary son of a biscuit, but he's also freakin' hilarious. I think Al really made this book interesting. His determination to get Rachel into the ever-after (demon realm) fuels this book with intense action and heart-pounding moments that will terrify you.
In this book we get to learn more about elves and werewolves. And we meet a lot of new people or learn more about current characters. Werewolf David Hue seems like an interesting character. He's an insurance adjuster, and, in Harrison's world, there are a lot of werewolf insurance adjusters. Yup, very weird. Mr. Keasley is Rachel's next door neighbor and he is more than he seems. He helps Rachel out in this book by taking in Al's old familiar, Ceri, who is also quite odd herself. Then there is the bad guy, Lee Saladan, who has something in common with Rachel and it ain't a sparkling personality. Oh, and we can't forget Ellasbeth, Trent's fiancee. Very unpleasant. She's the kind of person you want to punch in the throat (Why the throat? Well it hurts for one, but it also makes it damn hard to speak afterward. So you shut them up and cause them pain at the same time. Win-win; two birds, one stone; some other cliche saying.)
I really liked the Kisten and Ivy aspect. Rachel and Kisten's relationship seems to be going somewhere, much to Ivy's chagrin. Then Ivy's old lover comes into town, and that storyline just takes us on a whirlwind of fun and awkward.
For me the best part of the book is when Rachel is hired to become Trent's bodyguard for the night. This scene really entranced me, and I couldn't put the book down.
There are so many aspects, so many bad guys in this book you are simply left shocked that Rachel can survive her many enemies attempts to either kill her or enslave her. How the heck she gets herself out of these situations leaves me no choice but to give Harrison major props in her story telling.
The Bad
Same thing as before: Rachel's tendency towards stupidity and whining gets annoying. But the other characters make up for her downfall as a protagonist. And, as is Harrison's style, many scenes dragged, but I loved the book enough to not care.
The Snuggly
There is one sex scene that is hot but not over the top.
Harrison seems to be getting better and better as she creates a world with a variety of supernaturals that get more fascinating per book. Every Which Way But Dead is the kind of book that you lose sleep over. Especially in the first chapter and the second half were most of the action takes place. Highly recommended.

As a regular Omnisphere crack tutorial user, I freed myself twice, the first being that my old Mac was still reading existing songs. Second, the improvements did not disrupt what was good before. Adding to the possibility of importing audio, Spectrasonics has taken a relatively basic approach and while I appreciate the simplicity and ease of use, I felt that some additional options would bring great rewards, especially in that concerns loop management.

This report serves as a brief update to our September 2022 publication, Waiting to Launch: The gap between Canadian oilsands companies' climate pledges and actions.
Broad trends remain the same. While profits in Q3 were not as exceptionally high as in Q2 (due to slightly diminished global oil prices), 2022 remains on track to be a historic year for the oilsands companies in terms of revenues, profits and free cashflow. The rate at which these windfall profits are being returned to shareholders in share buybacks and dividend payments also remains extremely high. Meanwhile, despite some announcements in recent weeks from Pathways on the "advancement" of their emissions reduction plans, it remains the case that most details of these plans — including project specifics, timelines for projects, capital allocations, or timelines for final investment decisions — remain undisclosed. Conversely, one Pathways member, Suncor, has recently announced it will invest $1 billion to increase its share in the Fort Hills mining project — demonstrating that companies remain willing to invest in assets.
While much of the focus surrounding the Pathways Alliance has been on multi-year carbon capture projects and investments, other measures could be implemented much more quickly and with less capital investment. For example, there remains a significant opportunity for Pathways members that also operate conventional (non-oilsands) oil and gas assets to invest in proven, affordable methane reduction technology and projects to reduce emissions over and above current methane regulatory requirements. In doing so, they can make real, measurable emissions reductions across their entire portfolios. This is work that could be started today.
In the coming months, individual companies are expected to outline capital spending plans for 2023. It remains to be seen if details on decarbonization investments, as well as timelines for the expected absolute emissions reductions associated with those investments, will be disclosed.

This Wife Tries To Influence Her Husband's Social Media Ads, And Married Folks Are Laughing
The Arena Media Brands, LLC and respective content providers to this website may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
Chances are you've heard the urban legend (or is it?) that certain apps can listen to us through our smartphones even when they're turned off.
Well, this seemingly desperate wife is about to test that theory while her husband leaves the room without his phone.
Husbands and partners, pay close attention to what this wife wish-casts into her husband's phone.
What does this TikToker known as Amanda Lindenberg wish for from her husband so badly — in the most tongue-in-cheek way — that she tries to manipulate her husband's phone ads?
Oh, you know, the usual: doing the dishes, taking out the trash, but most notably "male therapy," which we found hilarious.
We also love that she squeezed some designer clothing and accessories as some cherries on top — too funny.
"Lol, and the first one you say is THERAPY, lmao," one viewer pointed out.
"Brilliant," another viewer commented. "Tonight, I'm doing this! How to book a massage for her."
"Me running to my husband's phone," another viewer posted along with a running woman emoji.
And finally, we may well have confirmation of whether this trick works: "That's how I got my furbabies — love my hubby," one viewer said.

Well, the strong Ariana Grande contingent among us, and you are a growing and ever-vocal fan base, will probably call this some kind of Christmas miracle, for your belusted Ariana rarely shows much of any skin, and while she is covered in this Jones Crow photoshoot, a pink body suit is nothing to sneeze at (though you may experience other types of bodily convulsions whilst viewing).
All good things come to those who ogle and wait. And a chipper looking Ariana Grande rolling around a bit on the floor, well, that is a good thing indeed. Enjoy.

text: Doc PardonSep 13, 20212 min readSalvation has been offered to every oneActs 4:12 says 'Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.' Salvation cannot be earned, or won. It is a free gift that has been offered to every one just by believing that Jesus paid the price for every man's sin. We needed a savior and the Word tells us in Roman 3:23 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' Jesus came to give us life and if we will just believe that He paid the ultimate price for us, we can be saved. Ephesians 2:8 says 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.' Salvation is a gift from God and the way you are saved is by confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord and that He was raised from the dead by God the Father, and that we have been justified by His death, burial, and resurrection. It's that simple. If we can receive this gift, then we are saved. Do you believe that Jesus died for you? Do you believe that He paid the full price for your sins? Do you believe that His precious blood has washed you and made you clean and that you are now made whole and righteous by His sacrifice? If you do believe then praise God, you are saved. Romans 10:13 says 'For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." Whoever means exactly that; whoever. So, whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. That in itself should excite you! Praise God for His Word! Psalm 107:2 says 'Let the redeemed of the Lord says so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.' Once you make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you have been redeemed and you are redeemed from the hand of the enemy. Glory to God! Are you saved? You can be! It's free and being offered to you today; right now. Will you accept the gift of salvation?40 views0 comments2 likes. Post not marked as liked2

text: Andrew Buckler's flagship New York City store opened at 13 Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District (where else?) in April 2005. So, it was really only a matter of time until the British designer invaded Soho with his high-end menswear line.Well, that day has come. Buckler recently signed a 10-year lease on a space at 93 Grand Street, according to Sinvin Realty. The location between Greene Street and Mercer Street will be the designer's second outpost in the city."Roguish American icons melded with Brit edge is the look and style that epitomizes the label," according to a biography of Andrew Buckler. The bio goes on to say that the line is worn by "moguls" like Tommy Lee, Liam Gallagher and the band Snow Patrol. (Note: The usage of mogul here is the latest sign of the apocalypse.)The asking price on the 2,600-square-foot space at 93 Grand was $185,000 for the year, according to Sinvin. No time frame as to when Buckler will move into the new digs, but with the rent there, time truly is money.

Zionist Estimations Indicate 'Great Failure' on Iran, Resistance Capabilities
Latest Israeli estimations indicated what they called 'great failure' regarding Iran's presence in Syria during 2021 as well as the developing capabilities of the Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance.
According to a report by Al-Manar's Editor of Hebrew Affairs Hasan Hijazi, Israeli media cited several assessments that reported the Zionist entity's failure in coping with 'threats' by Iran, especially regarding the presence in Syria, as well as by Lebanese and Palestinian Resistance.
"Challenges facing Israel regarding the Iranian presence in Syria are growing from a year to another. The ability to move freely in the Lebanese skies (in order to take photos and gather data on Syria) has been also affected," said Roy Sharon, the military correspondent for Israeli Kann News, as cited by Al-Manar report on Wednesday.
"According to estimations by Israeli military 70% of arms transfer from Syria to Hezbollah are being prevented. This percentage is surely inaccurate, and the question here: What about the remaining 30% and what does it include? Does it include game-changing weapons? This issue is a source of concern according to Israel," Sharon added, as quoted by our editor.
For his part, Israeli commentator on Arab affairs Zvi Yehezkeli said that despite 1600 Israeli raids in Syria, the Iranians are still there, noting that this "indicates the great motivation" the Islamic Republic has in Syria.
"Letting Iran out of Syria is not a simple issue. The Iranians have just wrapped up a drill in which they threatened to attack Dimona nuclear site. They are going ahead with their project in Syria," Yehezkeli added.
The Israeli assessment also tackled 'threats' by Palestinian Resistance, with Itay Blumental, the military correspondent for Israeli Channel 11, reporting a rise in the operations against Israeli occupation in the West Bank.
"We witnessed 61 shooting attacks in 2021. The number of such attacks reached 31 during the last year," Blumental said.

The Happy Owls by Celestino Piatti / ISBN 9780735844834 / 32-page hardcover from NorthSouth Books / a nice 2022 reprint of a 1963 classic.
A beautiful, classic addition to the family bookshelf—with beloved Swiss designer, Celestino Piatti's fun and retro illustrations!
This classic fable about enjoying the miracle of everyday life, first illustrated by Celestino Piatti in 1963, is being reissued in celebration of Piatti's distinctive artwork. Known for his innovative use of fonts, Piatti once said, "You can draw an owl a thousand times, and never find out its secret."
Why are these owls so happy? That's just what the chickens, ducks, and geese want to know. But when they send a peacock over to find out why, they're incredulous at the reply. How could anyone be happy simply to see the rain and sunshine? What could be so joyful about the flowers and butterflies?
"Every imaginative child will cherish this rare and beautiful book."—New York Times Book Review
"It should be two stars-- one for each eye. The use of brilliant color is beyond simple description-- it's an eye-fest."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Celestino Piatti (1922–2007) was a Swiss graphic artist, painter, and book designer, born in Wangen near Zurich, Switzerland. The trained graphic artist was a popular illustrator of children's books and gained international fame thanks to the more than 6,300 book titles that he designed for Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag (DTV) from 1961 onwards. Piatti also designed posters, postage stamps, stained glass, murals, and iron sculptures, and he worked as a writer and caricaturist. His work has received several awards. Although he used a wide variety of techniques, his style—black outlines and vivid colors—was always unmistakable.

2022-02-23 | What are the effects of legally regulated brokerage commissions for buyers and sellers?
What are the effects of legally regulated brokerage commissions for buyers and sellers?
Since December 2020, a uniform brokerage law has been in force throughout Germany. Put simply, the broker may no longer demand a unilateral commission from the buyer. He must receive at least the same brokerage commission from the seller. However, the broker may only agree on a pure internal commission with the seller. Also, the buyer can commission the broker directly, with a search request. The broker then goes in search of a property that he himself does not have in his portfolio and then mediates it to the buyer.
Pure Internal Commission
Almost always we have agreed on a division of the commission with our customers. In Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony, the amount of 3.57% including VAT has become established. Our offer of a pure internal commission has occasionally only been chosen by property developers and professional sellers, less by private sellers.
Pure Fee Consulting Commission
Our offer of pure fee consulting has hardly been accepted by sellers. Fee-based advice is like the remuneration of a lawyer. This means that the seller pays the broker according to daily or hourly rates or agrees a fixed price with the real estate agent. This can be significantly cheaper than a brokerage commission but is incurred in any case. So even if the desired purchase price has not been achieved or if the property has not been sold.
We have now seen the emergence of new online companies, who are funded by established sister companies with massive funds who sometimes offer slightly cheaper commission rates and this works for some sellers, it just depends what you are looking for. In such a crowded market, in-time the property market reach saturation and we will see if online is the way to go, or if property sellers in Berlin and internationally prefer the personal touch. In any case, many start-up brokers or so-called hybrid-brokers have already disappeared from the market.
Certainly, the customer is the winner as there are many options available.
Unfortunately, the search requests have hardly prevailed. Too few prospective buyers are looking for a broker who will then find you a property. This is also due to weak broker networks in Germany, especially compared to the MLS (multi-listing system in the USA) there is still a lot of catching up to do in Germany at this point.
There was also the concern by many providers that the seller won't hire a broker if it costs money directly, previously this was supposedly "free". We could not observe this effect. Yes, there are still pure private sellers who want to sell without a broker, but from our perception this group has not grown due to the new distribution of commissions.
If you are unsure whether a broker is worthwhile, you usually talk to several property agents in Berlin, and other sellers and compare the reviews and references on the Internet. Often, just like many professional colleagues, we can convince owners of our added value as established real estate agents with a lot of local experience.
It was the case before 2020 and is still the case today: The good real estate agent only benefits if his customers, i.e. the seller and the buyer of a property, have achieved their goals. If the broker does not manage to bring both parties together, he does not charge either party any money.
The reputable broker therefore promotes the property at their own cost in advance and entirely at their risk, because the seller may pull out. This is a very good sign for sellers and buyers and the real estate market and tens of thousands of customers confirm this again and again: Reputable, qualified, and fair real estate agents who help people to own a home are remunerated in a success-oriented manner with a fair and appropriate commission.
Since the change in brokerage law, we have negotiated well over 300 properties. We feel that telling you this will give you the trust that we know what we are doing and able to advice you on which commission option is best for you.
We have been established as an independent property agent in Berlin since 1991 so we have seen a lot of companies come and go along with changes in rules and regulations. As a family business we pride ourselves on our honest expert advice and friendliness. We always go that extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, and because of this our customers come back to us again and again.
If you have any questions about remuneration models, services and commissions of a real estate agent or marketing channels of your property, please contact us or arrange a personal appointment with us.
Achim says it can be reworded into an English format. The cheap commissions are those like purple bricks. Sellers and buyers now pay the same amount. Commission is negotiable. I can make it more clear that if you use BLP you are dealing with a family business that has been around for a long time and sold many properties. People use them again and again because of their reputation of friendly, competitive, professional, efficient

The popular tropical fruit is rich in potassium, a mineral that is required for the proper function of your heart and muscles.
Besides potassium, bananas are also rich in magnesium and phosphorus. Magnesium is important for your bones and teeth and plays a role in the digestion of carbs, while phosphorus stimulates cellular energy production and is vital for muscle relaxation that can help stressed people.
Bananas contain starch as well, which acts as an insoluble fiber in the body.
It can stimulate toxin removal from the blood and improve your digestion as well.
Wash five green bananas with water, then boil them in a pressure cooker with water for about 10 minutes.
Afterwards, mash them with a fork or use a blender, then put the mush in an ice cube container and leave it in the freezer.
When they're frozen, take out the cubes and put them in a container with a lid in the freezer again.
You can use the cubes in your favorite fruit juice – just add one.

Team Wigglyville, Hollus, Travis, and James, hit a home run the other night with their innovative Seder for Dogs, showcasing fun with your dog and kosher and specialty foods from Evanger's Dog and Cat Food. You never know what to expect at some dog events, dogs and people being what they are, but from the moment you walked into Wigglyville Pet Boutique, you knew this was going to be a festive Seder treat for all!
Wine, matzo, fruit and other nibbles were available for people, while Evanger's table had a display of regular and specialty foods with the company owner, Holly Sher, available for questions.
The team cleared the floor for the "table" setting, around which the prayer books were laid. A good time was had by all the dogs and their people, too! Bella the Beagle's mom, Polly, led the singing, while I was waiting for Bella to join in with a howl or two. Cooper the Chihuahua seemed intent on figuring out what was up and where was his matzo, with Megan keeping him calm. Toot, the friendliest 3-legged deaf Bull Terrier ever, looked like he was really getting into the recitation, sticking close by his mom, Carla, while Libby the Retriever kept nose to the matzo box, waiting for Ellen to open it for him—he was out for dinner, after all, and minding his manners.
Hollus Gessler, host and an owner of Wigglyville, was there to take photos and have fun with her clients. This is one store that does not run short on creativity for their community of clients or careful, thoughtful product selection. A recent "customer appreciation" evening complete with a large basket of gift products is noteworthy and particularly helpful to dog and cat families in this economy. And surprisingly, everything on the shelves and in the freezer is thoroughly researched to ensure not only quality, but expertise on the part of the company owners whose products Wigglyville carries. Stop in and talk to Hollus, Travis, or James if you have questions or concerns about nutrition. The people at Wigglyville are focused on the health and welfare of your furry friends.

VCs see promise in the religious metaverse—and a market of 6 billion people
Hi Term Sheet readers! Jackson Fordyce here filling in for Jessica.
"Thank you, Lord, for this metaverse."
That unlikely combination of words was spoken by Pastor Pete, from Living Room Church's service that took place recently in the metaverse.
Hosted on AltspaceVR's platform, Living Room's metaverse consists of two spaces, a living room where the service is held and a balcony where the other "attendees" (or at least their avatars) play cornhole, shoot off fireworks, and play basketball before the service begins. Michael Beck, who helps run the church, says that while some people may see this as "fake church", church in the metaverse is "equally valid, beautiful, and real" as a physical church. After 15 minutes of hanging out, the avatars—about 30 are here today—shuffle into the living room for introductions. After intros, everyone joined in for a worship song that led to a message on Psalm 37 by visiting pastor, Pastor Pete. Once the sermon was over, the others in the group shared a bit about their lives, how the sermon resonated with them, and what they took away.
One congregant named Darlene, or "Dar" as she's better known in Living Room Church's service, shared that the metaverse changed her life. Before the pandemic, she would have to be driven to church by her friend because of her disability. At church, she would attend a special needs service due to her anxiety disorder. Once the pandemic hit, she felt the cold loneliness of being isolated in her home. That is until she discovered a Christian community in the metaverse.
There, she says she's able to talk to her newly made friends, whom she calls brothers and sisters, every day. "They even threw me a birthday party yesterday."
Living Room Church is just one of a fast-growing number of congregations in the metaverse that are attracting new Christians every day. From 2016 to 2021, global funding for religious and faith-based apps increased by 2,905%, according to Pitchbook. In 2021, these companies garnered $171.3 million in funding across 27 deals.
Glorify, a London-based Christian worship and prayer app, recently raised $40 million in funding for their Series B led by SoftBank's Latin America Fund, bringing its total funding to just over $80 million. Also backing the company are Andreessen Horowitz, Michael Bublé, Jason Derulo, and Kris Jenner. I got on a call with co-founder and CEO, Ed Beccle, who explained that Glorify is preparing its users for in-person church/community through aspects like prayer, meditations, music, etc. on their app. So, instead of pulling people away from a physical church community, Glorify is trying to enhance that experience for its users.
With over 2.5 million users, Glorify is a free-to-use app but offers a $6.99/month subscription with more content. Glorify Plus includes all premium content, offline listening capabilities, listening to past daily worship, and more.
Hallow, a Chicago-based Catholic prayer and worship app, is another Christian startup that attracted notable investors. The company raised $40 million in funding for its Series B last November from investors including Peter Thiel and Contrary Ventures. Alex Jones, co-founder and CEO of Hallow, highlighted that Hallow is a tool for the church and "should not and could not replace the church." Jones explains that "as a Catholic, things like the sacrament and eucharist should be done in person."
Other religious/faith-based startups that have prospered in recent years include Evermos, a halal-focused social commerce startup for Muslim customers that raised $30 million in Series B funding in September 2021 from investors including UOB Venture Management, Jungle Ventures, and others. Wahed, an ethical investing platform that ensures all investments are halal raised $25 million in Series A funding in 2020 from BECO Capital and others.
Why so much interest right now? For VCs it comes down to a simple number, says Bradley Tusk, co-founder and managing partner of Tusk Venture Partners. Total Addressable Market. "It's probably the biggest TAM of any sector possible. With over 6 billion people in the world identifying with some kind of organized religion, it's a huge market and COVID made that so much clearer to investors."
Tusk says he sees three ways to monetize a faith-based startup. The first is payment processing with tithing. When a congregant wants to tithe to their church, take a portion of that for processing fees. The second is to create a marketplace for religious goods. Tusk believes that "there's no reason that you can't have or create an Amazon specifically for digital and physical, religious goods…maybe even religious NFTs." The third would be advertising revenue for a multifaceted church that has bible studies, bake sales, or volunteering opportunities.
Tusk says he finds the concept of church in the metaverse to be fascinating for a few reasons. He believes that while a digital church service can deprive a congregant of that physical interaction, the metaverse can mitigate that. Second, if there is a solid religious institution in the metaverse, you don't need a digital or physical component. "Why spend the money building something, raising funds, and getting permits, when you can hire a really good Web3 developer, build your church in the metaverse, and it'll probably grow a lot faster," he says.
Or, as Pastor Pete might say, praise the metaverse.

Answer to Question
It is not Allowed to Combine the Fasting of the Month of Ramadan in the Kaffara (Expiation) of the Unintentional Killing
To: Al-Abid Lillah
Assalamu Alaikum. May Allah help you in your work. Is it permissible to combine the Kaffara (expiation) of fasting for two consecutive months with the Kaffara of unintentional killing between Sha'ban and Ramadan, knowing that the Kaffara for fasting is obligatory in the absence of liberating a slave, and the fasting of the month of Ramadan is obligatory? I.e., can we combine Sha'ban and Ramadan in the Kaffara of fasting? Jazakum Allah Khair.
Wa Alaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh.
1- It is not permissible to include fasting during the month of Ramadan in the Kaffara (expiation) of unintentional killing, as each of them is a separate ruling from the other. The Kaffara of unintentional killing is to fast two consecutive months for the one who does not have a neck to free, as stated in the noble verse:
[وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِناً إِلَّا خَطَأً وَمَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِناً خَطَأً فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَدِيَةٌ مُسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَصَّدَّقُوا فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِيثَاقٌ فَدِيَةٌ مُسَلَّمَةٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً]
"And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment presented to the deceased's family [is required] unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if the deceased was from the people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment is presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], he should fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise" [An-Nisa': 92] It is clear from the verse that what is required is fasting these two months for Kaffara and it does not include other fasts required for other than expiation, such as fasting the month of Ramadan. The Shariah text regarding the fasting of Ramadan:
[شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ]
"The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it" [Al-Baqara: 185]. It is a different text to that of the Kaffara of unintentional killing, so they do not overlap together. And I ask Allah (swt), to help you in this affliction and magnify your reward, and Allah takes care of the righteous.
2- In the case of a permanent inability to fast for a Shariah reason, there are two different rulings:
First: He does not have to feed the poor, because Allah (swt), did not mention feeding the poor, if he was unable to fast as a Kaffara for unintentional killing. And if there was feeding, He (swt) would have mentioned it, as He (swt) has mentioned in the kaffara for zihaar... and this is the opinion of the majority.
Second: Comparing the expiation for unintentional killing over other expiations, such as the expiation for zihaar, where sixty poor persons must be fed if he is not able to fast sixty days "two consecutive months." Allah (swt) says:
[وَالَّذِينَ يُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا ذَلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ * فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَتَمَاسَّا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَإِطْعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً ذَلِكَ لِتُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَلِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ]...
"And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted with what you do * And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allah and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allah. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment" [Al-Mujadila: 3-4]. This is one of the Shafi'i sayings.
3- The opinion that I outweigh is if the person is not able to fast for a Shariah reason, as we mentioned above, then he does not have to do anything, rather he should seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) and draw close to Him (swt) with supererogatory (nawafil) deeds, and Allah (swt) is Forgiving, Most Merciful. As for why we did not measure the expiation for unintentional killing with the expiation for zihaar, it is because there is no analogy for expiations, it has no I'lla (divine reason).
It is mentioned in the book, The Islamic Personality, Volume Three, Chapter: "Conditions of the Ruling of the Origin" on Qiyas (analogy), page 338 (Arabic version), in the pdf file:
Fifth: That the rule of the origin is not based on the norms of analogy, and that which is based on the norms of analogy is divided into two parts:
The first: What does not make sense in meaning, it is either excluded from a general rule, or it begins with it:
The exception from a general rule such as the acceptance of the testimony of Khuzaymah alone, as Al-Bukhari narrated, is, although it is not reasonable in meaning, is excluded from the rule of testimony.
The beginning point, such as the number of rak'ahs, the estimation of the portions (nisab) of zakat, and the amounts of hadd punishments and expiations, although it is not reasonable in meaning, is not excluded from a general rule, and on both estimates the analogy is not permitted to take place...] End
I pray that this is sufficient and Allah is All-knowing and Most Wise.
Your Brother,
Ata Bin Khalil Abu Al-Rashtah

Angela is an experienced Private Wealth Advisor (PWA) in Private Wealth Management based in New York. Without any natural network or family in the US, she has translated her life experiences into a career focusing on ultra-high net worth clients.
Be authentic
"When I entered the industry, I was ready to be anything to anybody and what I found is that, ultimately, nothing came of those relationships," states Angela. "If you're a nerd, be a nerd; if you have a whacky sense of humor, crack jokes." It was this outlook that helped Angela build and grow her own network. "I'm black, I worked in the apparel industry in Germany, and I went to Cornell. Those were the three pillars I focused on."
Be familiar
Born in Zambia, Angela left home at 13 – lucky to have access to a decent education in Zimbabwe. She would go on to earn her M.A. in linguistics at the University of Konstanz in Germany, having first had to learn the language six months prior, and eventually landed a sales job at a global sports apparel company based there.
After her time in Germany, Angela enrolled in the MBA program at Cornell. When she eventually became a PWA at UBS, she returned to the apparel community by traveling and attending large tradeshows. "I wore comfortable shoes and worked the floor looking to build a network. People remembered me and knew I was familiar with their business. They were willing to listen," remembers Angela. She also tapped into the Cornell network by attending every single alumni event in the area and volunteering within the Cornell community.
Be persistent
To her surprise, breaking into the black community was the most difficult. "While I'm black, the sub-networks are so diverse and quite difficult to penetrate." Initially, she did not intend to focus on celebrities, music or sports, but the black entertainment community ultimately emerged as the most responsive. "I went to conferences in Cancun and would read beforehand who would be at each conference and studied their backgrounds. If I could walk away meeting three good people, then it was worthwhile. It was the hardest pillar to build, but when it hit, it really hit." Angela currently has notable clients in the music industry.
To this day, there are times Angela is still discouraged. "It is a very humbling industry. What we do is hard. It looks a lot more glamorous from the outside, but there's a lot of competition and markets do what markets will do, you have no control of that."
Angela was a sole-producer for a majority of her career. Now a partner, Angela strongly advises emerging female and black female Financial Advisors to team early.
Angela in her own words
Angela in her own words
"I'm a client advisor, a mom and a spouse; I'm an adventure traveler, a runner and a philanthropist. I'm all those people all the time and I don't separate them out."

Sometimes I wake up and feel the I have an endless wellspring of energy within my belly, swelling and churning as if it would course through my veins, and burst through the flesh of my body, as if my eyes were shimmering, and smouldering with this unstoppable force.
And then on others I barely feel alive, as if I am scarcely existing, and breathing, as if I were hollow, a slender bag of flesh and bone, a biological automation. Felled like so much dead wood, and then fuelled by unleaded, oil slick coffee. This usually comes after missing the first two alarms on my phone.
And this tension is the result of my reluctance to go to work in the face of more desirable pursuits, versus my desire to be challenged and to be the best employer I can be for personal gain, acclaim, and the respect of others. Of course, this is not to say that I don't think we should not work hard as I believe that we should make the most of life experiences and use them to reach our goals, whatever they may be.
I guess what I mean to make clear is that my mixed-morning feelings and experiences are the result of conflicting desires or thought, albeit the root of those desires stem from two different places.
For example, it is natural to have some desire to succeed and be ambitious but to what extent is it my desire? If I were to do so would I judge my own value as a human being based on my seniority or my salary? Or would I get to this point in my career where I have met my goals, only to realise that they were never really my goals at all?
What if I found happiness within a career or path which affords me much satisfaction in helping others, or in social well-being but not in financial income? Does this make me a drain on society? Does it make me financially irresponsible, or am I really conflicted because I lack greater access to material possessions and experiences?
It is much more complicated than saying that either a negative or positive attitude will always prevail because we have a habit of switching to 'autopilot' much of the time when at work, or doing some monotonous task, almost like a form of meditation. Other times we feel like we are in a hopeless vacuum, but nevertheless their is no overcoming the realisation of facing an undesired or unsatisfactory experience or fate.
I used to feel a lot more insecure about my career, qualifications and ability when it came to employment, perceiving that I was not good enough to get the promotion, not good enough to take on the big project or not good enough to be respected by my peers; either in the office or down the pub. I would seek greater meaning and purpose in my job-it would define me and would seek approval from my colleagues and their value of me as an employer or member of the office tribe.
But the root of this desire, this drive whilst providing me with some personal satisfaction was grounded upon the idea of my own inferiority complex. It came from a place of lacking. It mattered to me what others felt, which is why outside of the workplace I felt so unfulfilled within myself.
These days I see my job differently. I still work hard at work…most of the time, and I still have career objectives but now I realise that there is more to my life then 'climbing the ladder' and have come to terms with the fact that being the 'big boss', claiming a 6-figure salary, or drinking every other night for the sake of it is not on mine, or everyone's agenda.
For one thing, I often wonder what and how I could make a living out of my creative pursuits. Sometimes I would question the reasons for this, whether it is because I feel that I cannot make it according to my own standards and perception of success, or because I have a greater desire to express myself. And because of the very inner-sustenance that my writing provides me my desire to continue creating always prevails.
Would I up and quit my job to write full-time? probably, but not anytime in the immediate future as I do not yet feel ready or prepared for such a step financially, emotionally or organised enough but if and when the opportunity does arise I would also hope to have the courage to follow my hearts desires. And besides, there are still many things that my 9-5 are still teaching me; I am learning practical skills, organisational skills and the value of structure, as well as the experience of social interaction and the opportunity to help others get the best out of themselves and speak my own truths, whether people I agree, disagree or think I'm strange.
Of course this works the other way as I have learned many lessons about myself through experiences in the work-place, experiences that have forced me to reconsider my own place and actions-as well as my own hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness. Therefore my spiritual and emotional growth is met in indirect and unexpected ways.
And all these things help to put a smile on my face on my most miserable of days; as I get on and off the train to work, as I wade through endless spreadsheets, and as I get to grips with understanding the complex, insightful, diverse and often erratic behaviours of my boss; as well as my colleagues and their various interests, philosophies and office humour.
And these are the questions we must all ask ourselves in some capacity or another; but the real question is whether we have the honesty to question our own happiness and circumstances, the courage to accept our own answers, and desire to be open to the possibility of change-if it is what we truly desire.
