Is An Equity Index Annuity for You?
The current volatility of the stock market has many clients seeking safety for their retirement nest egg. At the same time, they are not content with the low yields typically offered by more stable investments like fixed annuities. Using equity index annuities (EIA) is one way to increase investment return, but are they a miracle cure? This article is intended to help you answer that question for yourself.
We can better understand the concept behind EIAs by knowing a little about annuities in general. An annuity is an insurance product. When talking about investment return, there are two main types of annuities – fixed and variable.
Fixed annuities offer a customer a fixed rate of return. When you enter into a fixed annuity, you pay your premium to the insurance company and it, in return, guarantees you will receive a stream of periodic payments based on your initial investment plus a set interest rate. While this type annuity protects against loss of principal, it severely limits your return in a rising market.
Variable annuities, on the other hand, do not limit your investment return. Insurers do not guarantee the value of variable annuities. Instead, they invest your premium in mutual funds based on your instructions. Thereafter, the value of your annuity rests on the value of the underlying funds. While this allows you to participate in rising markets, it also subjects your money to the same risks as if you invested directly in the stock market.
Equity index annuities are a hybrid of the fixed and variable annuity. The EIA contract allows a customer to participate to some degree in the gains of the stock market while minimizing the possible loss of principal. It does this by establishing a minimum return (typically zero percent) while allowing for an increase in value based on some portion of the change in a specified stock index.
For example, assume you invested $100,000 in an EIA. The contract calls for a floor, or minimum interest rate, of zero percent, but allows for a return based on 70% of the change in the S&P 500 Index. Let's say the change in the S&P from the time you invest to the time interest is credited to your contract is 15%. At the time interest is credited, your contract will be credited with $10,500 (70% of $15,000). On the other hand, if the index goes down 10%, your contract will still be worth $100,000, assuming no withdrawals.
Often, an EIA will include a cap interest rate. The cap limits your upside investment gain. Let's say the annuity in the previous example has a rate cap of 8%. The amount credited to your annuity will be $8,000 instead of $10,500
There are three main ways an insurer credits income to your EIA:
Under the annual
reset method
, the interest rate is determined from year to year based on the difference in the underlying index at the beginning and ending of the year. For example, let's assume the index is 1,000 at the beginning of the year and 1,050 at the end of the year. If your participation rate is 80%, the value of a $100,000 contract at the end of the year will be $104,000. Under the annual reset method, your annuity will never go below $104,000. The drawback to the annual reset is that the participation rate may change from year to year and interest rate caps may be used.
If your contract credits the income based on a
method, annual changes in the index do not come into play. Instead, the value of your annuity is based on the change in the index through the ending date of the annuity's income accumulation period. Let's say the term used to credit income to your annuity is the typical seven years. If the index change is 15% during that period and your participation rate is 80% with no cap, the value of your annuity will be $112,000. It won't matter that the index was up 40% at one point. While this method may allow for higher participation rates, since interest is not credited until the end of the annuity term, you may receive no interest if you must cash out early.
Using the
high-water mark
method, interest will be credited based on the highest change in the index during the period. Let's say you purchase your annuity and at the end of year one, the index has doubled. After that, the index declines to the point where the change is nil by the end of the annuity term. Your annuity will increase based on the highest change (100%) during the period. These type annuities typically have lower participation rates and often use caps to limit the exposure to the insurance company.
Does all of this sound good so far? As good as the EIA sounds, there are some major drawbacks you should be aware of. Annuities are, in the end, insurance products and not pure investments. As such, your return will be limited because the insurance company will keep a portion of earnings for administrative and mortality costs.
Another drawback to the EIA, as with most annuities, is that there is typically a surrender charge. This means you will pay an early withdrawal penalty if you pull your money out prior to a specified period (typically seven to 10 years). Because of this charge, it is possible to lose money using an EIA.
If you are under 59 ½ years old, withdrawal of funds from a tax deferred annuity can trigger a 10% federal tax penalty in addition to income taxes on the increase in the value of the annuity.
One mistake many taxpayers make is selling other investments to purchase an annuity. This works well when there is no gain in the other investments. However, when there is a gain in those investments, they create an unnecessary tax liability. Make sure you don't fall into this trap.
At the end of the day, EIAs do provide some protection for your retirement dollars - but not without a cost. Because they are long-term investments, with significant penalties on early withdrawal, you should not use any funds that may be needed in the near future to purchase annuities. Additionally, EIAs may not be suitable for older individuals due to penalties associated with early withdrawal of funds. If you are looking at such a contract, it pays to get a second opinion. Give us a call if you need help in deciphering the real effect an EIA will have on your financial picture.
Have a terrific April.

Turf Field Infill Options
After concerns were raised about alleged but unsubstantiated health risks associated with the crumb rubber used as the infill material on the vast majority of turf fields, we began to explore the body of information regarding the risks (or lack of risks) associated with crumb rubber. Different options to crumb rubber were surfaced and they have been explored.
- Crumb rubber is made primarily from recycled waste tires.
- Nike Grind is made from ground athletic shoe souls
- Sprinturf CoolFill is a coated crumb rubber product used by our field manufacturer in their fields.
There is a lot of information on the web regarding crumb rubber. There is less on the other two products. I did find one particularly comprehensive review by the state of NY that looked at all of the research data on crumb rubber. The report also addressed coated crumb rubber products like CoolFill. It is a lengthy read, but comprehensively covers the topic. Additionally, they publish a very nice executive summary that deals with the questions with much more concision.
As we have reviewed the options with the contractor, we found that Nike Grind is produced in a very limited quantity and current demand far exceeds supply of the product. Skanska has proposed a "ROM" price estimate to change to CoolFill of $80,000.
Based on the data I have reviewed, there is no empirical evidence that suggests crumb rubber is a dangerous or toxic surface.
I would like input from the board regarding this topic. Is there interest on the part of the board in further pursuing the option of CoolFill.
Several documents are attached for your review.

About Temple of Diana - Merida
The Temple of Diana (Templo de Diana) in Merida was a sacred site constructed by the Romans in the early first century AD, after the conquest of the area by the Emperor Augustus.
Roman Merida, known as Emerita Augusta, became an important centre of Roman power in the region. Originally formed of veterans of the Roman conquest, the city quickly grew to become a thriving metropolis. Within this ancient city, the Temple of Diana would have formed a central part of the Roman Forum, where the principle civic buildings of the city originally stood.
Incredibly well-preserved, probably due to its incorporation into a sixteenth century palace, the Temple of Diana's Corinthian columns still stand in their original rectangular formation. It is part of UNESCO's Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida.

You shower, you moisturise, you put on your dinner suit. You lace your shoes and you sculpt your hair. Finally, you reach for a fragrance. But you're met with a confusing choice. Is this the right moment for the cologne? You've just used a razor, so perhaps you should select the aftershave? But what of the Eau de Toilette and the Eau de Parfum?
The world of men's fragrances, awash with subtle variations disguised by foreign tongues, is admittedly a confusing one. But while many men will simply select one fragrance and use it as a cure-all, learning the differences between the variants and using each for the purpose it was designed can save you money, save you pain, make the fragrance endlessly more effective and give you the sort of confidence that simply cannot be bought.
So what must today's man know when it comes to his choice of fragrance? Let's take a look.
When performed on sensitive skin or with a less-than-sharp razor, a shave can leave your face feeling delicate and even irritable. Aftershave was created to offer a pleasing scent and a soothing feeling for this sensitivity.
Aftershave is low in perfume oil (1% - 3%) to prevent that all too familiar stinging feeling, but this does mean that the scent will only last 2-3 hours. Aftershave is generally infused with cooling agents, such as Aloe Vera, and the alcohol present helps to close the pores opened by a hot shave.
A word synonymous with male scent, if you're talking men's fragrances most will assume that you're talking Cologne. Cologne will have a higher perfume oil concentration than that of aftershave (usually around 2% - 5%), but not overtly so – if you don't suffer from sensitive skin this may be okay to spritz on your face, although it will more commonly be used on pulse points.
A light and often fruity option, traditional Colognes are popular as 'splash' fragrances for the younger set, although the likes of Fulton & Roark are redefining the category with their elegant and erudite range of solid Colognes.
Eau de Toilette
The subsequent step in our perfume oil journey comes in the form of Eau de Toilette. EDT contains a perfume oil percentage more commonly in the 4% - 8% range, and is not suitable for use on the face, particularly that which has been freshly shaved.
Traditionally available in scents that are more sophisticated and mature, an Eau de Toilette will comfortably last for a whole evening, and as such makes for the perfect fragrance accompaniment at black tie events.
Eau de Parfum
From Eau de Toilette we continue to increase our intensity, this time moving to Eau de Parfum. With a perfume oil percentage of between 8% and 15%, EDP is the perfect option for men who need their fragrance to last all day, or who find that they tend to wick their scent more readily than others.
While Eau de Parfum isn't particularly common in men's fragrances, the likes of Floris and Penhaligons – fragrance houses with centuries of history behind them – still create EDP products.
At the far end of the scale sits Parfum, the undiluted version of Eau de Parfum ('eau de' translating to 'water of' in French). With a perfume oil percentage in the realm of 15% - 40%, Parfum is exceedingly rare in men's fragrances, being more commonly created in female scents.
A thicker and oilier liquid, Parfums are bought in stopper bottles rather than in sprays. If you do purchase a Parfum you'll need no more than the lightest of dabs on your pulse points for it to last all day. Those with sensitive skin need not apply.
It must be said that the facts and figures quoted here are indicative only, as many fragrance houses have begun to use these terms interchangeably, particularly Eau de Toilette and Cologne. But all that you as a modern gentleman need to be aware of is that there is certainly a difference between Aftershave and EDT, between Cologne and Parfum. What you do with this knowledge is entirely up to you.
You've showered. You've moisturised. You're suited and booted. Now confidently march to your vanity and select a scent. What's your favourite scent? Tweet us @puremansg or facebook us @pureman

It is applied using a small make-up brush or cotton ear-bud directly on the mole or wart, taking particular care not to have the Dermatend to avoid contact with the eyes.
There are 2 main ingredients one is Glycolic acid and the second one is Vitamin A. Applied a blob on every Mole. It is important to apply a small blob and leave it on the mole for a period of time.
It is always advisable to have someone else to apply the dermatend for you. Not with standing the safety of using the dermatend, we always advise our customers to be over cautious and apply as little dermatend as possible the first time it is used.
After all, this will allow you to get used to the way the Dermatend works. It is also recommended to avoid applying the Dermatend onto the healthy skin for that you can apply vaseline around around your mole on healthy skin. The Dermatend should only be applied to the Moles or Warts. In case the Dermatend Remis accidentally applied onto the normal skin, just wipe it off (this will stop the peeling effects).
Since the Dermatend is developed for home use there is no need to rush the cosmetic treatment, because the Dermatend can be applied as many times needed until you are satisfied with the results.
During the cosmetic treatment with the Dermatend, if mole or wart around or near to your eyelids, we strongly recommend avoiding sun exposure. If sun exposure cannot be avoided due to work commitments when outside, walk in the shade and wear very dark sunglasses. No other creams should be applied to the area around the eyes throughout the duration of the treatment. Once you are satisfied with the results and the treatment is stopped, then make-up can be worn two weeks after the last Dermatend application. Also for the period of two to three months after the Mole or Wart removal treatment, total sunscreen must be applied to the area around the eyes before going in the sun. We advise our customers not to sunbathe for a minimum period of three months after the last use of the Dermatend.
Additionally throughout the treatment with the Dermatend strictly no makeup should be worn. Although very unlikely, wearing makeup could cause unnecessary complications that can be easily avoided. Also avoiding wearing make-up speeds up the natural skin recovery process. Makeup can be regularly worn two weeks after the last treatment.
On Average two applications are enough to achieve complete removal. However, since you have a lot of Dermatend with you, you can repeat the treatment. After all, we supply 30ml with your order which will last you for a whole year. If you are not sure you can always ask us. We are here to help you.
Our Recommendation
Depending on the Dermatend, type of formulation and skin type, we instruct the customer to keep the blob for a length of time varying from 30 minutes to complete absorption (1 hour).
The longer the gel is kept on the lesion the stronger the peeling effects. Please note that TCA solutions bought from other sources do require the use of Neutralizers after a certain length of time after the application.
IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO STAND UPRIGHT WHEN APPLYING THE BLOB. This is because gravity could have the blob to slip down to places where it should not go. Therefore, we recommend to lie down at all the time while you have your Dermatend blob on. In some cases, depending on where the moles are located lying down may not be the best option.
Remember, as a general rule, that gravity has to point towards the Dermatend so that the blob will be naturally kept in place and not slip elsewhere.
We highly recommend having someone else to apply the Dermatend blob for you. If you have mole or wart on the upper eyelids, it is very important to KEEP YOUR EYES SHUT over the length of the entire application. This is because if you accidentally open your eyelids the blob could spread to other areas where it should not go.
Once again, it is important that you are not alone while you have the small blob on because the other person can supervise the cosmetic treatment and monitor whether the blob is still where it should be (on the Mole). The other person will, therefore, help you by monitoring the gel and keep a clean cotton cloth at hand and make sure the gel does not slip anywhere else.
In case of the gel escapes, the other person can wipe it off immediately. Also, given that most likely you need to keep your eyes shut during the peeling with the Dermatend, the other person can help you in case you need anything, like bringing you water or whatever else you need.
Moreover, the other person can reduce the length of the cosmetic peel period and wipe the gel off, at the right time, as stated in the instructions.

Sometimes, as individuals
and as a learning species,
we jump too quickly,
enthusiastically on empathic trust feelings of familiarity,
forgetting these may include both health with pathological tensions
residing within this intuitive moment,
this feeling of happiness toward potential true and good futures
yet I really do prefer to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom-up,
more systematically.
like family,
and ethnic affiliations,
rarely leads to undiluted polypathic confluence,
nutritional flow of health into our shared truth as beauty futures;
something short of mindbody nirvana.
Our languaged history of cultural evolution
shows us that our paradigmatic models,
perform our exegetical functions as best they can
to understand as flawed-and-yet-sufficiently-functional
eisegetical theories.
Our competing exegetical models sometimes outlast their partially cast-aside as flawed eisegetical heuristic origins,
now set in exegeting tools of language
for building our past through future enculturing story,
in imagination,
in thought as trust-belief,
in empathic feelings of proportion and symmetry,
as active heuristic ecopolitical assumptions,
rooted in ecological RNA/DNA scripted Elders' familiar models,
embryonic healthy-regeneration fold/unfold gestalts.
History models,
creation narratives,
classic, familiar, exegeted and retold tales
tell an evolving and/or devolving regeneration story.
Theories bring language to ecological-analogically confluent v dissonant experience
of truth/beauty as mind/body,
eco-norm/poli-power partial truth as flawed beauty
of thought with concomitant feelings,
co-arising and nondual,
dipolar cultural functions
of Yang LeftBrain languaged,
and Yin RightBrain temporal-proportional wu wei balance;
Tipping EcoPolitical Points within BiCameral Systems Theory,
mutually mentoring internal symbiotic dialogue
about exegetical power trusts
and eisegetical empathic beauties,
like seeds learning to become deep ecology rooted and branching systems
for shading over-heated climates
and breathing over-carboned air.
Economic mental value-health as physical political incarnation power
presents a post-feminist nondual ecological enculturation as investment model

of eisegetical heuristic articulations,
discontinuous experience
with continuous flow of confluent identity memory
flowing in and through regenerations of blood-fueled time.
For me,
and I suspect for an entire Great Transitional Climate Health ReGeneration
revolving in our postmillennial spacetime,
flawed competing-for-survival models of cultural learning
as if natural BusinessAsUsual evolution,
interspersed with ectosymbiotic autonomic-enthymematic revolutions

This suggests a healthier,

Research Interests
Dr. Arntzen pioneered studies of chloroplast membrane structural dynamics in relation to photosynthetic light harvesting efficiency. This led to research on small molecule binding sites in membrane proteins and an understanding how genetic mutation could lead to herbicide resistance. His subsequent career used tools of plant molecular biology and protein engineering, as well as the utilization of plant biotechnology for enhancement of food quality and value, for expression of pharmacologically active products in transgenic plants, and for overcoming health and agricultural constraints in the developing world. He introduced the concept of bio-manufacture of plant-based vaccines for human disease prevention (with special emphasis on needs of poor countries) and for disease prevention in animal agriculture. After 2001 this research was extended to creation of effective vaccines and therapeutics to reduce the threats of biowarfare agents.

"Dear MoveOn member,
The latest Senate health care bill has no public option. No expansion of Medicare. And it does too little to guarantee that uninsured Americans will actually be able afford the coverage they'll be required to purchase.1
Former insurance executive Wendell Potter put it best: the bill is "a big bailout to the [healthinsurance] industry."2
But it's not too late to fix the bill. And as Joe Lieberman has shown, just one senator willing to stand in the way can force legislation to be changed dramatically.
Senator Bernie Sanders, a strong proponent of the public option, has already made clear that he's opposed to the legislation in its current form—and he could decide to block it until it's fixed.3
But there's enormous pressure from all sides to pass a bill quickly, no matter how weak it is. Let's show Bernie and other progressives that we're counting on them to block this version of the bill—and we'll get their backs if they do.

Därmed är det svårt att inte konstatera att det brutit ut ett inbördeskrig inom det Demokratiska partiet - med Vita Huset och Obama-administrationen tydligt på en sida, och de progressiva vänster-vänster Demokraterna på den andra.

text: I'm running a Jtag on 16547 with Dashlaunch 3.11, I usually have absolutely no problems with games and their DLC working, but I know Bethesda's coding is amazingly terrible, so here's my problem. The DLC 'Old world blues' and 'Lonesome road' aren't working properly, they are unlocked, but the quests to access them are not appearing in-game, only the Dead Money quest has shown up. Though I can still go above level 25, so the game knows I have Lonesome road to some degree. I'm using TU 5 with the correct media ID, I'm at a loss on what to do to make these things work. I have tried with the game installed as both a GoD and as an extracted ISO running the default.xex. (From XexMenu, I don't use FSD) I was going to try and install the DLC from the ultimate edition's second disc to see if it would make a difference, but running it from an extracted ISO by running the default.xex, and trying to run it as a GoD container both have the same result, an error message saying "The expansion pack cannot be loaded" and it kicking me back to the dashboard. It's not just the DLC that's not working either, sometimes the game will give me the "Fatal crash intercepted" message, usually if I try to do anything with the settings while on the main screen, but sometimes when it's checking for DLC. I don't know if perhaps there are Dashlaunch settings that disagree with Bethesda games? I would really like to try out the expansion but I really don't know what I'm doing here. If at all possible I would like to fix this without updating to the latest dashboard and dashlaunch, unless that's the 'definite' answer to my issues here, as I said.. every other game I play on here both GoD retails and XBLA work fine with no issues.

Online classes definitely have some advantages: you can attend class anywhere, there's no commute to school, and you can often write papers or take tests at times convenient to you. Studying for online classes can be tricky, however, since the normal pattern of in-classroom learning is nonexistent.
Here are some tips to help you study more efficiently and effectively:
1. Create a routine. Even though you can login at any time, the best way for you to make sure you complete all your given tasks is to decide what day and time you will do your work, and always do it then (say, every Thursday at 6:00 pm). Soon, it will be a habit.
2. Remove all distractions when you're logged into class (Watkins, 2004). Your learning time is valuable, and you should devote all your attention to it.
3. Don't procrastinate! Technology can be fickle, and you don't want to take the chance that your internet connection will suddenly stop working 5 minutes before your final paper is due, and that you'll be unable to hand it in before the submission window closes (conveniently enough, this tip also works for traditional courses!)
4. If your course has discussion boards, make sure you check them often (York College, 2014). These are a great way to work out problems with your fellow classmates and get feedback from your professor. By reading others' insights into the material, you may also learn things you might not have thought of on your own.
5. Have all your resources in one place and ready to go. Prepare a set of folders (real or virtual) with all the materials you will need for your assignments (York College, 2014). Being organized, even if it takes some time to set up at first, will save you tons of time in the long run.
Online courses can be a great way to learn. If you have a solid set of study skills in place, you will have a much greater chance of success in them. See all online courses offered by Touro for Fall 2014, plus the student handbook for online classes.

There are plenty of perks to owning your own business– no boss to report to, a flexible schedule, and ultimate decision making to name a few. Like all good things, though, it also has its drawbacks. Namely, in this case, the necessity of our guest room being converted into an office space. Before Parker was born, we did most of the traveling to see family and friends and we really didn't miss the space too much. Now that we have an adorable toddler on our hands, though, you'd be surprised how those visits from mom have multiplied tenfold! While she has been a good sport about sleeping on the air mattress in my office, I've been dreaming of converting our third bedroom into a shared guest and office space with one of these sleeper sofas. With holiday travel and accompanying visitors just around the corner, I thought I would round up a few of my faves, just in case any of you were also in the market! Happy weekend, friends!

A Look at National Real Estate Buying Companies
From as far back as we know in history, ownership has been a thing among humans. There always appears to be a continuous effort to own more and more acquisitions. A lot of times, these attempts and ventures become very competitive, and at times unhealthily so.
This, however, does not mean that making acquisitions or owning properties is wrong. Actually, owning some property is something that everyone should have as a basic goal.
There are basically two classifications of tangible property and they are realities or real property and chattels. Realties generally refer to lands and buildings or simply property that cannot be moved about, a good example being land. Chattels on the other hand refer to movable property e.g. cars etc.
Being that these things are life's necessities, and we now live in a world where the acquisition of some of these properties might have become a little too technical, the services of real estate agents and companies has become a need. These help individuals and even companies make acquisitions and purchases that will enable them to advance their personal and business interests.
The Real Estate Industry
This at its very basic begins with a firm, which is any business organization that specializes in real estate management.
The industry itself is a vast body of various firms and enterprises engaged in the business of buying, developing and selling landed properties to their different customers or clients. You can read more about this here.
The industry has different arms and can be divided into different areas of specialization. These include:
Development: This involves the purchase of land/lands, the renovations and developments that go into it and the selling or leasing for the profit of the land. The idea here is that value is added to the land by the improvements made on it before it is then sold or leased for-profit to a buyer or lessee.
Sales and marketing: They are the ones in charge of projecting and advertising newly completed units of the works done by developers. The idea is to publicize and hopefully sell-through sales agents, the building units created.
Brokerage: These are the realtors (agents) who try to facilitate the purchase or the sale of the different properties. They act as representatives to either party (depending on who engaged them) to help and guide them to reach their goal of either purchasing or selling the property.
Property Management: These are usually concerned with helping their clients manage their property. Their job description might involve, renting out the different units, collecting rents and ensuring the day to day function of the building and its facilities.
Lending: They are the banks or credit unions etc. that facilitate the financing aspect of the business. They're also the ones who assist clients in getting pre-approved.
The Service of Professionals
These are important people that help the industry to function. These professionals include architects, lawyers, and accountants.
What are Real Estate Buying Companies?
They are firms that offer to purchase real estate from a willing seller on behalf of another. You can read more about what they do here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buying_agent
Now, there are numerous benefits to be gained from selling to property buying companies. These benefits include
Speedy Closings
One of the most crucial benefits is fast closings. It usually would not take more than seven days to complete a transaction with willing and able participants. This is because, since they would buy the property in whatever condition it is in, it enables them to go past several formalities that would have taken time.
Cash Offers
As an individual, you would be generally more willing to sell to anyone who offers to make payments to you in cash. This is simply because it saves you a lot of time, some unnecessary hassles and stress.
Many property buying firms pay cash, and the money paid is accessible upon the finalization of the deal. This, however, is an option that you will have to specifically ask for from a property buying firm because not all may offer it.
They Buy at Reasonable Rates
Considering that the seller might be in a hurry to close the deal, this position would ordinarily put the individual on the back foot of the bargain. However, with real estate purchasing firms, you will be offered an entirely reasonable rate which could be up to or more than 80 % of the prevailing market value of the building.
Sold for Good Value Despite any Pre-existing Condition
Another benefit is that you can also sell the property for a good price despite the condition it might be in. This means that you do not have to spend money on repairs or on any renovations because they would not be a huge factor in the evaluation of the property to be bought from you.
Helps you Save Money
Engaging the services of a property buying firm saves you some expenses that might be necessary had you not engaged their services. These expenses include commissions and fees that you would have had to pay to real estate agents neither would you spend money marketing the property you want to sell.
What to Know
Though it is agreed that engaging the services of a property buying firm is a much easier and faster way of getting your property sold, this, however, does not preclude the possibility of having some cons or negatives to it.
Some examples of such might include:
You the seller, might not be in a position to know what the property might be worth, despite the condition that it might be in. Thus, you might have undervalued your property.
It is also possible to fall into the hands of scammers or swindlers if you are not careful. This is because, while there are many legitimate companies' in this business, there also are some unscrupulous elements that might be in the market.
Furthermore, even the buying firm does stand some risks of buying a house with pre-existing conditions that they may not be aware of. This might result in a situation where even after some repairs have been carried out, the property is still sold with unknown issues.
The above-mentioned scenarios call for diligence when about to engage in such transactions. Part of the diligence to be applied is in engaging the services of very reputable real estate buying companies like stewardship properties solutions that have a nationwide base.
There will always be buying and selling and occasions will definitely come up where it becomes very necessary that a priced property has to be sold and speedily too.
The smart thing for anyone who is aware of this opportunity to do is to leverage on it after having done the diligence needed to establish its legitimacy. The right real estate buying company can make such a transaction go smoothly.

I'd rate this 3.5/5, decent time waster at most. This is pretty much a laid back, highly skilled, semi-alcoholic, former Spec Ops Harry Potter who finds himself trapped in the past for no particular reason. It's written more as adventure/comedy story with a dash of James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Dresden Files influences and shouldn't be taken too seriously. Features magical/physical combat, detective subplots, and inappropriate one-liners. Enjoy. "Another," murmured the slumped form of one Harry James Potter, as he motioned for another shot of firewhiskey.

So, let me present to you An Indoctrinated Dream.

It's now reached well over 200k words, over 500k views, and is in the top 10 most favorited and most followed Mass Effect stories on this site. So, obviously, it's succeeded far beyond my wildest expectations. For those of you just jumping in to the story now, strap yourselves in and get ready for a wild ride.

Something unthinkable happens. Time-travel. I didn't sign up for this Chapter 1: Prologue: That bastard, a naruto fanfic. Prologue: That bastard Konoha, early evening The village was settling in for the night, shops closing their doors and bars welcoming the first rush of customers. The academy was empty and quiet, the children having long since gone home. The training grounds were still in use, some of them noisy with thunks of weapons, ninjutsu practise, or Maito Gai. Shinobi could occasionally be seen hopping over rooftops, on messenger duty if not returning or leaving for a mission. Exactly three minutes before ten, the deceptive image of peace and quiet was shattered by a series of loud explosions. Curiously, this did not arouse alarm so much as groans and various complaints in the general line of "not again!

Although some would add bullying into the category of 'traumatic experiences', he only saw his less-than-perfect childhood as another aspect of the Springtime of Youth that he had most Youthfully persevered through.
But that didn't mean he had no use for time travel. There was one thing that had always left a black smear on his record, and that was Hatake Kakashi. Although he had eventually become skilled enough at rock-paper-scissors to even out their record, the earlier days had been pitiful. He could change that now. Once More Chapter 1: Back to the Past, a naruto fanfic. DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto, or anything publicly recognizable.
Chapter 1: Back to the Past Everything was dark. He had failed. Things were not supposed to become like this.

The Wheels Keep On Turning Chapter 1: Call Me Sensei!, a naruto fanfic. Notes: I take liberties with the timeline, but they're not too noticeable. This is not to be taken too seriously. I wouldn't call this fic a 'parody', but I'm also not aiming for a 'super-complex-whoa-that-plot-twist' kind of fic, either. This is just for fun. Also, some people are having trouble with all the time-skips, so I've added the age of the character whose point of view the chapter is in for each chapter, so hopefully that will clear up the confusion.
Please keep in mind that these are my best estimates since the actual timeline is a bit of a mess. Warnings for the whole story: Lots and lots of hair rufflings (You have been warned.) I. "Heh.

Starting Over Chapter 1: Prologue, a naruto fanfic. AN: Hi all, this is my very first fanfiction so please be nice. This story came about as a combination of reading way too much Naruto fanfiction and some ideas I had based around the show and manga. Particularly how focused and balanced as a person Naruto becomes later in life. So enjoy. Prologue In hindsight Naruto realised that his main problem throughout his life was control. Born as an Uzumaki, Naruto naturally had an abnormally high chakra reserve, chakra being the combination of physical and mental energy. If that wasn't enough the nature of the seal placed upon him also contributed to his fundamental difficulty in control.
The defining principle of chakra control means that as chakra is used, not only control is gained but the chakra reserves themselves grow as the mind and body become more harmonised.

You're not going to see a lot of mention of non-movie facts but since the fanfic mainly plays before or after the first episode and I'm going to make up the stuff that happens in between, it may collide with whatever comics/books/series exist for that time or the past of secondary characters.

Old Navy Launches Exclusive Pre-Sale Using #Twitter 'Buy' Button
Last month we took a close look at how AMC Theatres were using Twitter's new 'buy' button to market a new promotion on the network. Now, Old Navy is getting in on the action with an exclusive just for their followers.
"Our limited-edition @thenovogratz family blanket is available for exclusive pre-sale on Twitter. Offer ends today!" tweeted @OldNavy earlier today.
Here's how it looks:
Click on the 'buy' button and you're presented with this pop-up.
From here, click the 'buy now' button and you're promoted to enter your payment details, which are then saved on your Twitter account for future transactions.
Much like with the AMC promo it's not the strongest of offers. Hopefully it won't be too long before a big brand uses the button for an incentive that really takes off, analyses the data, and gives us a nice case study to digest.

The LJCC is hosting a color run this March.
On March 19, friends and family are invited to the Levite Jewish Community Center to celebrate friendship and inclusion with the Friendship Circle of Alabama's inaugural Color4Friendship Color Run.
The Friendship Circle of Alabama is a Jewish organization that helps children with special needs create lasting and fruitful friendships. The children spend time with teenage volunteers, who help the children build valuable friendships through their hours of fun spent together, said Rivky Novak, program director of Friendship Circle of Alabama.
"A lot of them [the children] are missing those social skills to build friendships," she said. "So many of these friendships are so sweet."
Novack said the Friendship Circle of Alabama previously held a marathon to raise money for the organization but found not many people were able to participate in the event, so they created the 1-mile Color4Friendship run. The run is on the LJCC track, which means all abilities and ages can join in the fun, and the proceeds go toward the Friendship Circle of Alabama and the Community Youth Group at the LJCC.
"It's all about inclusion and friendships and stuff like that," Novack said. "By doing this, everybody is able to join, and everybody is able to be a part of it."
Participants are encouraged to wear as much white as possible to show off the colors that will be thrown their way during the run, she said, and all are welcome to stay after for a festival with music and food.
"No matter what, it's going to be so much fun for everybody that's there," she said.
The Circle4Friendship Color Run starts at 1 p.m., and participants can register online at color4friendship.com.

It was a tough way to go for a man who wrote about running with the bulls in Pamplona and "land diving" on the Island of Vanuatu.
One thing family members were able to say was that Dave Freeman lived his life the way he wanted to live it. The books reads,
"This life is a short journey. How can you make sure you fill it with the most fun and that you visit all the coolest places on earth before you pack those bags for the very last time?"
A Yahoo article about Freeman's death mentions that he inspired other like-minded books. My favorite is definitely "100 Things Project Managers Should Do Before They Die." My life will be a major disappointment if I hit my head before increasing market share by 50%.

It can be distressing to be the victim of an auto scam. Auto scams can be detrimental to your personal and financial life. When you are the victim of an auto scam you may feel scared and insecure but there is a way to take back control and get justice. You have the ability to report the scam with the proper officials. Reporting an auto scam can be time consuming, but you can prevent other individuals from being victims.
Step 1
Compile all of your evidence of the auto scam. When you contact the proper authorities, you will need to provide evidence that you were a victim. It is best to gather any receipts, orders and any documents that verify your relationship with the business and how you were scammed.
Step 2
Find the closest FBI office to report the auto scam. You can visit the FBI's official website to locate your local office. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have announced the National Auto Fraud and Theft Prevention System to assist individuals who have been victims of auto scams. Auto fraud, such as a staged auto accident and auto insurance fraud, is a federal offense and should be reported to the FBI. Send a letter, detailing the scam and how you were affected. You can also email the office, detailing the auto scam. The office will ask for more information after the initial contact.
Step 3
Contact the Federal Trade Commission to report the auto scam (see reference). You can send an email to the Federal Trade Commission detailing the auto scam and how you were a victim. The FTC can handle any type of crime. There are various types of auto scams, such as insurance fraud, auto-dealership scams and auto-repair scams. Within the email, point out the type of scam you were a victim of so they can answer you accordingly.
Step 4
Contact your state's attorney general after you have emailed the FTC. You can find the state attorney general's contact information in your telephone book or online. You can also inquire with your city or town hall to get the contact information. If you have given money to the scammers, it is best to contact the state's attorney general.

The power to manipulate reality via comic books. Combination of Narration and Drawing Creation.
The user can manipulate reality by making comic books. The characters, actions, speech, etc. will happen in real life. This can also affect characters that the user has not created. For example, if the user makes a comic of their friends becoming superheroes, their friends will suddenly become superheroes. The user will be affected as well if they draw a comic of themselves.
Any being the user puts in the comic book will also come to life and will act the way they do in the comic.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a mixed start to the 2019-20 season. They've taken a mere eight points from six games and lie seventh in the Premier League table. Their away performance at Olympiacos in their opening Champions League game also left a lot to be desired - and boss Mauricio Pochettino is coming under fire as a result.
Poch is currently the third-favourite to lose his job amongst Premier League managers, with only Everton's Marco Silva and Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjær apparently in more danger.
So what's gone wrong at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
Some fans blame the players' lack of effort and commitment, some blame Daniel Levy and ENIC for poor business in the transfer market, while others suggest it's because the first full season in their new stadium is a transitional one - but that doesn't explain why last season was such a mixed bag from the get-go or why the club haven't won away from home in nine Premier League games (a run spanning almost 250 days).
Pochettino has switched to a formation Spurs don't look comfortable with - ditching the dynamic and highly-effective 4-2-3-1 in favour of the ineffective midfield diamond is inexplicable. He also seems to regularly fall out with players and lets those disagreements affect his team selections, his intense training is undoubtedly the cause of Spurs' alarming number of injuries, and he regularly sounds too satisfied after losses - that defeatist mentality is a particular point of contention amongst certain sections of Spurs' support.
Most importantly, in his six-year tenure in North London, Pochettino has won exactly zero trophies - and now that there are none to be won in the remainder of 2019, that will make the 2010s the first decade since the 1950s in which Spurs have gone without silverware.
Yes, he's taken the club to two cup finals - most notably last season's Champions League final in Madrid, which was undoubtedly very impressive - but they've come away from both of them with nothing.
Alarmingly, 2019 has seen Pochettino's win rate fall below any previous full year's since he joined the club. It's currently at 41%. Now compare that with 2015 (50%), 2016 (54%), 2017 (67%) and 2018 (71%). Moreover, Tottenham's form in the final twelve games of last season was, literally, that of a relegation candidate. This is no mere blip.
Pochettino's project might be a long-term one, but clear and obvious regression simply shouldn't be a part of that.
The more positive Spurs fans regularly cite the 1990s - when the club had some terrible players and played with some very bizarre tactics - as a reason to be comparatively positive now, but the fact is the club won two major trophies even in that supposedly dire decade.
In the 25 years leading to Pochettino's appointment, Spurs had 14 different full-time managers and an additional seven caretakers - none of which had as long in charge as the Argentinian. Those managers all departed, having been deemed not good enough due to their lack of success - and three of them guys won trophies!
Pochettino is obviously a fantastic coach, but his in-game management has to be questioned.
So when will his project be considered a failure? Has he peaked? How much longer can Spurs be considered a club in transition? And what will it take for the former Southampton boss to lose his job (bearing in mind how much it would cost to sack him)?

Do remember the times in your life when you felt that everything was just going great? When you wanted to do something and suddenly, everything was falling into place so that you could do it?
Do such memories give you the feeling that the world is almost perfect and that everything is just as beautiful as you imagined it would be?
Once you have experienced such a moment, and you recall it, can you think of other ways to get that feeling into your life? Can you get yourself into a groove so that events will unfold for you effortlessly once again?
In those moments of ecstasy, you are touched by greatness. The world is cooperating with you so that you can experience life as a gift, a dream, a sweet, flowing river that is carrying you along for a ride that is everything you wished for.
If you have been touched by greatness once, you can be touched again. Recall the feeling. Choose another event that you would like to experience and feel the flow carry you through. Then go with that flow, and let the world support you and cooperate with you and you, of course, will cooperate with the world.
Image how your life would feel if you could experience being touched by greatness many times over. You can do it, you know.

Big Brother Naija 2019 housemates, Seyi and Tacha on Wednesday night returned back to BBNaija 'Pepper Dem' edition.
Tacha in particularly was glowing with confidence as she blatantly stated on her return, that she'd be in the house till the 99th day.
While at the dining table, housemates took turns to share how they each felt on the return of both Seyi and Tacha.
When it got to Mike's turn, he said he was going to keep it "100", saying that a part of him was elated when Tacha left due to the negative energy she was giving off in the house and he hoped her coming back humbled her.. In the middle of his speech however, Tacha still said that she'd remain in the house till the 99th day.

Vernacular papers have a pivotal role to play in advertising and promotion. They have their exclusive reader base that seldom switches to any other news broadsheet. One such news journal is Prajavani which is published in Kannada language and is one of the popular newspapers of Karnataka. It has a loyal readership from across the state. People not only choose this newspaper for their daily dose of news but also for advertising and promotion. Hence, the paper is flooded with all sorts of adverts under various categories. Among the popular categories for classified ads is obituary. These posts are published by those who have lost a loved one. They are also commonly termed as death notices.
Death of a loved one is a time which is extremely traumatizing. During such times the bereaved family is not in a state of mind to go all the way to the newspaper office to make advert bookings. Hence, the best alternative is to go via online mode. The latter provides a hassle-free and instant method of ad booking. One doesn't need to visit the newspaper ad booking centre.
To book Prajavani obituary display ads, you can take the help of Myadvtcorner which is one of the popular websites for newspaper ad bookings. The service provider has a user-friendly platform that allows people to book ads in different newspapers instantly. You can make bookings for any city within minutes by filling-up the online ad booking form and making payment over a secured payment gateway via any of the online payment methods.
For instance, if you want to make newspaper ad booking in Bangalore, you can do the same via this channel. To make obituary ad booking for Bangalore, you can follow the online ad booking steps and reserve the ad slot. In case you need any other help, you can always connect with the customer assistance team of the service provider and they will help you in the ad booking process.
