Should I Invest in Local or Long-Distance Rental Properties?
Written on December 30, 2015 by Anum Yoon, updated on March 20, 2017
While most investors start out investing locally, many grow their portfolio by investing in long-distance real estate.
Why? For those who live in an high-priced area or an area with little growth potential, investing in a different city might be a great option.
While there's no one-size-fits-all answer for whether investing locally or from a distance is more profitable, by examining the pros and cons of both, it's easy to determine the right real estate investment strategy for you.
Investing From a Distance
The primary downside of investing from a distance is the necessity of needing someone "on the ground". Most long-distance investors choose to hire a property manager.
While it's technically possible to be a long-distance landlord, it's just not feasible, since many landlord responsibilities require at least occasional on-premise responsibility. Plus, it would be time-consuming enough to be considered a real job.
Even if you're thinking, "Great – I'll just hire a property management company," there are several things to be aware of. Due to the low margin of profit that property managers make, it's hard to expect the utmost attention or best service from someone you hire.
There are diligent property managers out there, but they usually cost more, as opposed to property managers that try to manage every property possible and value quality over quantity as a result. That's a no-no.
1. Consider Common Problems with Managers
First, look for individuals instead of hierarchy-ridden management companies. Real estate requires prompt communication, whether it involves tenants' needs or potential sales/purchases. Historically, communication among property management companies tends to be very poor, since they are often managing more properties than they can handle.
There's nothing worse than investing in a property and not being able to get in touch with the property manager during a crisis. Seek out individual property managers that aren't simply the lowest bid to prevent this.
2. Check Online Reviews
In terms of finding that perfect property manager individual, ask around – whether it's in real estate forums or a local real estate agent you trust. Yelp and Google also offer convenient reviews of every respectable service imaginable. If someone is a poor property manager, chances are an investor or tenant has already complained somewhere online.
If you end up hiring a property manager who doesn't pan out, don't hesitate to fire them if the service isn't up to par. It is your money, after all, and you shouldn't feel bad for letting someone go who is not meeting their potential, especially when there are viable alternatives waiting to be discovered.
3. Use Modern Technology
If you intend to invest from a distance, make sure you're fully prepared to trust other professionals and are comfortable with various forms of communication. In addition to the basics such as phone and email communication, newer tools like Skype and FaceTime can make a world of difference. The property manager you end up hiring will likely be the one who inspects the property and fulfills all requests, so it's important to trust them.
When investing from a distance, it is possible (though difficult) to manage everything over the phone – from hiring/firing property managers to calling up services to make repairs. Real estate investors typically don't double as repair persons or plumbers, but they can certainly use the phone to help find someone who can.
Tools like Cozy can help you do most everything that a traditional property manager would do. But even so, you'll need someone local to deal with key exchanges and inspection.
4. Realize that it's Possible to Invest Anywhere
The main benefit of investing from a distance is that your real estate investment skills are truly free to soar, with every potential neighborhood in the country at your fingertips. Without geographical restrictions, you'll be able to flex your investing abilities in the open market. While the property manager and communication aspects can be obstacles, there are viable resolutions to both.
Investing Locally
One of the obvious benefits of local real estate investment is your firsthand knowledge of the area. You likely already know the good neighborhoods, the good schools, the upcoming developments in town, etc. Plus, you have the ability to do an on-site evaluation of your investment property and potentially address concerns before they become a big issue.
1. Forget your Memories
Still, familiarity of a certain locale can lead to bias, which is often an investor's enemy. Positive personal memories can lead to a false sense of security from a financial standpoint. Emotional security does not always equate to a wise financial investment. Therefore, if you identify positively with a neighborhood or house from your childhood and wish to invest in it partly due to that, be wary – even if you're telling yourself internally that nostalgia couldn't possibly be the driving factor.
2. Know that Profitable Properties are Everywhere
Depending on where you live, there could be plenty of ripe investment opportunities in your locale. The most important thing here is to avoid personal bias during your investment process. Instead, stick to the principles that any prudent real estate investor does – such as a great neighborhood, fair property taxes, low crime, nearby schools and amenities, future prospects, building permits, etc.
Whether investing locally or from a distance, considering the aspects above will help guide you toward your own optimal investment strategy. I believe a safe portfolio will include both local and long-distance properties.

Lawyers blame Jacksonville Navy hospital doctors for Kevin Bravo Rodriguez's severe cerebral palsy (Nov. 12; Nov. 4, 2004; Feb. 2, 2004; Aug. 13, 2003; etc.). He cannot see, speak, swallow, or move his arms and legs, and will not live past age 21. Modern technology saved Bravo Rodriguez's life after he was born without a heart-rate or respiration, and keeps him alive with 24-hour care that was adjudged to cost $10 million over the course of short life. The verdict included $50 million in pain and suffering. Because this was a Federal Tort Claims Act case, a judge was the finder of fact, and Carter-appointee Senior District Judge Jose A. Gonzalez can be credited with the largest FTCA verdict in history, which (including the millions in jackpot attorneys' fees) will come out of taxpayers' pockets unless it is reversed on the government's promised appeal. (Nikki Waller and Noaki Schwartz, "A bittersweet $60.9 million", Miami Herald, Nov. 25). This is attorney Ervin Gonzalez's second appearance in Overlawyered this year for a $60 million+ verdict—see July 10.
4 Comments
This case will have an impact on the enthusiasm with which high risk deliveries are resuscitated. Dead, he would be worth, what?
And some for tort reform call for taking away Med-mal cases from juries?
Pain and suffering is priceless and the only thing that all Americans have in common. Putting a cap on it is wrong. How many people would subject their child to severe brain damage and a life of special care in exchange for $60 Million? None – except for those who do not value life. The Government should focus more on preventing medical malpractice rather than preventing the victims from collecting for their pain & suffering
Hey JB Gonzalez – question for you:
What is brain damage and special care for life worth then? 60 million? 60 billion? 60 trillion? 60 jillion? It's ludicriuos to try to put a price on something like this. But there has to be some kind of limit because otherwise all our tax dollars would go toward making one family (and their lawyer) rich instead of going toward helping everyone. If you valued life, you would also think about the people who lose benefits or care when the govt has to pay these huge sums. The money has to come from somewhere; it doesn't just grow out of the ground.

Born between 1976 and 2004, millennials are largely responsible for the rising demand for personalization in every area of life. These young people came of age amidst an explosion of technology offering them unprecedented opportunities to customize everything from food to ride sharing.
Nowadays, it's more important than ever for your business to adopt a "have it your way" approach to marketing, including how you choose which personalized promotional products to offer.
One Generation's Sweeping Influence
Millennials pack a punch when it comes to sheer buying power. It's estimated consumers between the ages of 17 and 34 will collectively spend more than $200 billion in 2017. Capturing even a small slice of this market can mean big profits for your business.
Understanding how millennials shop is the key to grabbing their attention and directing some of that $200 billion to your business. Forty-seven percent of 25- to 34-year-olds rely on search engines to research purchases, and they expect a seamless cross-platform experience once they decide on a company with which to do business. Mobile-friendliness, proactive responses and real-time adaptation to consumer needs are all essential elements of marketing to millennials.
Millennial Characteristics: Personalized Touchpoints
Do you know where millennials most often make contact with your business? Such touchpoints are defined by SurveyMonkey as "your brand's points of customer contact, from start to finish" and include all interactions between consumers and brands.
Millennials are connected through one of the widest ranges of channels in marketing history. They're reading blogs, scrolling through social media feeds, scouring reviews on location-based directories and visiting stores in person. Different groups exist within the demographic, segmented by the way they approach the purchasing process and journey through the sales funnel.
Analyze customer data to determine what brings each group to key touchpoints and their mindsets at these junctures. Move them toward a purchase decision by structuring your marketing to deliver exactly what they need at critical moments.
How do Personalized Promotional Items Fit In?
Unique promotional products fit seamlessly into the tailored millennial shopping experience. Millennials crave engagement and involvement, so turning a simple promotion into a game by offering collectible lines of personalized promotional items and encouraging young consumers to submit user-generated content featuring these products supports continued interaction with your brand.
To show you understand the millennial mindset and are in tune with their daily lives, choose unique promotional products popular among the demographic:
- BPA-free sports bottles
- Custom Headwear and Hoodies
- Sunglasses
Distribute products at the point of sale to enhance the purchasing experience, or send promotions as follow-ups to remind millennial customers your brand is committed to enhancing their lifestyles.
Marketing to millennials means rethinking your advertising approach to provide targeted experiences across channels and incorporate unique personal products pertinent to young consumers' lives. Make 2017 the year you focus on millennial characteristics to inform and develop your marketing plans, responding to feedback in real time to create an engaging, responsive experience for all consumers.

Never has the old adage "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves," been so appropriate for the new regime running Coventry City Football Club.
The man at the helm, chairman Mike McGinnity, led by example as he framed a new business plan to take the Sky Blues forward.
Having already foregone a salary for himself, the City supremo is now working his way through the club with a fine toothcomb to cut costs from the playing side - which accounts for the vast majority of the club's outgoings - to the telephone bill at Highfield Road.
But McGinnity has given assurances that no one from the current first team squad will be sold in the foreseeable future as Roland Nilsson attempts to steer his side back to the Premiership.
"There are 39 points left to play for and I genuinely believe we have got a chance of getting promoted via the play-offs," said the man who has been in the chairman's hotseat for just three weeks.
"Being in the First Division after 34 years has come as a shock to us all and we have got to make sure we give every effort to getting back up as quickly as possible. I don't know what the actual figure is, but promotion would give us between #15-#17 million plus the corporate and advertising side of things which would make a huge difference.
"You don't need to be a chartered accountant to realise that when we are projecting next year for something like a #14.5 million turnover, then we have got to do something about the wages which are currently just over #15 million. That is without any expense at the club, so obviously if we don't go up there will need to be changes."
There are clearly contingency plans ready to spring into action in that event, but moves are already afoot to clear the decks and trim the wage bill a great deal further than has already been achieved.
Tomas Antonelius and Lee Carsley left the club this month while Gavin Strachan, whose contract expires in the summer, has gone on loan to Motherwell until the end of the season, releasing more funds from the wage bill.
And this week second-choice goalkeeper Andy Goram was released after agreeing a deal with the club that makes him a free agent.
But as McGinnity explains, supporters can expect quite a few more players to part company with the club in the coming weeks and months as they continue to clear the decks of costly fringe players.
"We have 53 professionals on the books and we cannot have that many," he said.
"It is not possible and certainly not viable to run a business in this way so I have spoken to Roland Nilsson and Jim Smith and we have been through every player that is available.
"During those discussions I have confirmed that there will not be any of the first-team squad liable to be transferred.
"We will always have to look at offers that come in but it is not my intention as I sit here today that any of the first-team squad will be pencilled in to be transferred.
"We have started to put a few players out on loan and that is a great way to put players in the shop window.
"Now, Roland may say to me that he would prefer one of his players to go if it means he can buy so and so, and we will look at that situation as and when it arises.
"We all know what players are like and as far as I am concerned they have got to start taking responsibility in this game.
"It is like the situation with Lee Carsley. The manager told me his head had gone in terms of wanting to play for the club when Everton came in and it was important that the fans knew that rather than think that it was us who wanted to sell him."
In the hopeful event of City achieving promotion this season, McGinnity has given assurances that funds will be made available to the manager to strengthen his side in order to compete at a higher level.
"We would undoubtedly have to strengthen the squad and that would certainly be a headache I would enjoy having," he said.
"What we would do is sit down with Roland and ask him what he needs and is he content with the existing squad, and part of the money we received would be allocated to him to buy players."
In terms of more general housekeeping, City are clearly incurring heavy monthly losses - estimated to be around #1.25 million - due to falling gates at Highfield Road and the loss of TV revenue.
But McGinnity is hoping that like the club, the fans will play their part and come flooding back to support their team.
"Every supporter wants to see their team winning and we have had two wins and are looking forward to tonight's match with Walsall, followed by Barnsley and Portsmouth, which I believe are three more achievable wins," he said.
"If we can do that then I think people will start to see, coupled with the announcement we made this week about the reduced debts, that we are moving forward and start coming back.
"All we are asking for is a chance and every single extra supporter we can get at every game will tell me that they want to succeed as much as we do."
He added: "We have put a new business plan together which has meant going through the entire club and making adjustments in line with our surviving in the First Division, and this has been received, believe it or not, by everyone in the faith of what has got to be done.
"We have gone back to the accountants after being given this tag of #60 million debt which I don't think was explained to the shareholders in the best way. There were monies in there that were committed to the new stadium and since then we have sold certain players.
"In addition to that we have started to cut wages and made cut-backs in every department, even down to spending #230 a day on the telephone.
"So the old cliche that if you look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves is what we have gone back to and we are building from that foundation."

Consumers don't know who they can trust after ICCT revelations that car manufacturers have been lying to the public about real fuel emissions
Consumers are left wondering if they would be better off peddling a bike after the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) shockingly revealed how car manufacturers are lying about their vehicle's real fuel consumption. And despite a rollout of new testing measures, the ICCT voices concern over loopholes that remain. Loopholes that would enable manufacturers to continue conning car buyers.
The ICCT collated statistics dating back to 2001. Shockingly, they revealed that real fuel consumption is 42% higher than what manufacturers claim. In 2001, the discrepancy was only at around a 9% difference. However, over the years this has dramatically crept up to unbelievably high levels.
What this means is that the public is out of pocket by up to $465 per year
And ironically, it has been one of the industry's best un-kept secrets. Yet, consumers let these car companies continue to dupe them! Manufacturers have long used sinister methods such as "Defeat Devices" to lie about real emission levels.
And it is not just the public that these car manufacturers rort. These companies also have stolen significant amounts of money from taxpayers. According to the ICCT, "because vehicle taxation schemes and incentive schemes for low-carbon cars are based on official CO2 values, the gap may also lead to significant losses of tax revenue and misallocation of public funds."
You will find more statistics at Statista
Car companies have been lying to the public for decades
Even as far back as 1973, the EPA exposed and revealed that companies such as Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors, amongst others, were tampering with temperature switches to disable the controls registering pollution levels. That same year, the EPA even fined Volkswagen $120,000 for having such controls in their vehicles.
Again, in the 1990s, companies such as General Motors, Honda and Ford were fined millions of dollars for their vehicles harboring the devices, or they had to spend millions in alterations to specific models. And it was only two years ago that the EPA discovered that Volkswagen had installed illegal software in their diesel engines. This software provided misleading readings on pollution testing.
Car manufacturers are so unashamed about lying to the public that the most recent EPA exposé was this year!
The EPA discovered that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles had also installed similar software. Many of their pickups and SUVs contained software that enabled them to cheat emissions tests. The US Justice Department considered pressing criminal charges.
Consequently, the EU is seeking ways to counter car manufacturer's brazen perpetuation of scamming the public and ultimately destroying the earth with dangerous pollution. A new test procedure, the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) seeks to avert further devious manufacturer's actions.
Nonetheless, the ICCT warn that the WLTP is still insufficient. According to their website, "the WLTP has its own shortcomings and should, therefore, be complemented by other forms of vehicle testing: random conformity testing of production vehicles by independent bodies and on-road testing of CO2 emissions."
Ultimately, consumers should be looking to push for alternative forms of transport that do not emit pollution
Fortunately, many companies are starting to create cars that run on cleaner alternative energies. More environmentally friendly fuels like electricity and gas. And of course, considering public transport as an option is also better for the environment, and also will save the user a lot of money.

A few weeks ago I attended a #bloggersevent at the Harrogate branch of The Body Shop. It was the first time this store had held an event and I was eager to see what they would be showcasing! This would be their first Blogger's Event and they were keen to show off their new matte lipsticks and new additions to their Spa of the World Collection.
All of the candles, bath milks, massage oils and exfoliants are desgined to help bring the spa to your own bathroom and I can attest to them smelling absolutely incredible and very high end. The Hawaiian Kukui Cream helps to restore skin's natural suppleness, leaving it feeling nourished and soft. Japanese Camellia Cream helps to soften and moisturise skin, the incredible scent of this pure and elegant flowers allows mind and body to reconnect with a moment of profound peace. Dead Sea Salt Scrub is a gentle exfoliater with added oils enabling you to choose just how much of it you use and how much oil. It leaves skin glowing and soft ready for moisturiser. The oils help to keep skin supple and replenished with oil.
Each of the scents within the Spa Range have a matching candle to really bring that Spa at home feeling to your bathroom! Use them together to really focus the mind and as a fast track to tranquility. They are priced at £15 each and would make a perfect present.
Now I was lucky enough to see these matte lip liquid creams before they actually went on sale and I have to say I am very impressed! I love the colour range, there are plenty of colours to choose from (12 in total) for every outfit, from nude browns, through to pinks, reds right upto a gorgeous dark purple shade! Just gorgeous!! I know some people can be a bit fussy with matte lips, that they don't glide on as easily as the glossy shades or don't last as long but I can attest that not being the case with these!! They go on so easily and last very well too! Yes you may need a lip balm handy but that's to be expected really. The only trouble I had was choosing which one to test first! aha!!
As part of the whole night we were each given personalised skincare consultations to show what The Body Shop has to offer as part of their in store services. I was very happy with mine, given to me by Trisha (store manager) and I went home with various samples and can report back that my skin loved it!! Looks like I'll have to invest in some Body Shop Skincare!
Love, Sarah

Don Pesci: Chris Murphy channeling Chamberlain
CNN these days is a safe place for progressives to spout off, if only because so very few people attend to its broadcasts. A January 2014 report showed CNN losing 29 percent of its total viewers; the station's prime time numbers showed 41 percent of its audience jumping ship in the space of just 12 months.
In mid-January of this year, only a few days after two Islamic terrorists penetrated the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris and murdered seventeen people associated with the satirical magazine, US Representative Chris Murphy felt invincible enough to strike a Chamberlain pose on CNN.
Said Mr. Murphy on CNN's "State of the Union," drone strikes are "bulletin board recruiting material" for terrorist organizations. He warned that the United States "shouldn't be full of such hubris" as to launch actions that lead to more attacks like the ones in Paris and Belgium.
Mr. Murphy's analysis is a bit tipsy for a few reasons. Just to begin with, the "actions" that precipitated the attack in Paris were not military and involved no drones. Whether or not the journalists at Charlie Hebdo deserved to be cut down with automatic rifles, banned in Mr. Murphy's state, is a question best left to Mr. Murphy's tender conscience. The two Islamic terrorists were moved to slaughter the journalists at Charlie Hebdo because of the humiliations Islam suffered at the hands of cartoonists, which would seem to imply a psychological trigger set off in the brains of terrorists by events far less hubristic than drone strikes.
Then too, droning and air strikes have been pretty much the ONLY military response President Barack Obama – who, Mr. Murphy may agree, is NOT motivated by an excess of hubris — has been willing to deploy against, just to mention the most recent Islamic terrorist organization, ISIS, which has moved into a vacuum caused by the retreat of American Forces from Iraq.
That vacuum has been caused in part by Mr. Obama's timidity. Mr. Murphy will recall the "red line" drawn by Mr. Obama in Syria, which quickly became a pink line and then disappeared, smothered by the all too frequent ineffective rhetoric that pours out of the White House like the smoke arising from the consulate in Benghazi that was burned to the ground, under the watch of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Mr. Obama, both of whom doubtless are free of the taint of hubris.
The White House said at the time that the Benghazi "protesters" had been inflamed by a cartoonish video that had held up the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, to ridicule. This was not true; the "protestors" were, in fact, well-armed and highly motivated Islamic terrorists. The Benghazi consulate likely was a transfer station used by the United States to shuttle arms to fighters in Syria, among other places, who were opposing the regime of Bashir Assad, one of Russian President Vladimir Putin's clients. The moderate Syrian opposition, owing to Mr. Obama's timidity, was snuffed by Assad, after which ISIS, the mother of all Islamic terrorist groups, nudged out of Syria, quickly overran northern Iraq.
The notion that the Benghazi terrorists were actuated by an amateur video was patently absurd, a useful fancy of politicians in their campaign modes. The wellsprings of Islamic irredentism run much deeper than that. The companion notion that recruitment to the caliphate cause is driven by the use of drones on the part of the United States is equally absurd. Among Islamic terrorists, ANY opposition will excite a disproportionate retaliatory opposition. Islamic terrorists will succeed in destroying tender democratic shoots in the Middle East, in beheading western journalists, in wrapping women in burkas and denying them ordinary civil participation, in burning Christian churches and extirpating all who will not submit to Islam – which, come to think of it, means "submission" — until they meet an opposition more vigorous than any proposed thus far by Mr. Murphy or Mr. Obama. Terrorists must be defeated, and this can only happen when the terrorists KNOW they are defeated.
While it is true that Islamic terrorism cannot be defeated by drones alone, neither can Islamic terrorism be defeated through the craven submission of the West. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Obama cannot hope to offer a saving resistance to Islamic terrorism by refusing to call things by their right names. Naming rightly lies at the center of all religion, philosophy and truth. If you cannot name the thing that will kill you, you are already dead.
What the West needs during its moments of greatest peril are Churchills rather than Chamberlains. Winston Churchill could properly name the enemy; Chamberlain could not and, perversely, would not. At a minimum, the murderous terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo means that the violent will bear away everything that is precious to us – if we let them.

Let's begin learning about "What are the Applications of Exploratory Data Analysis in Machine Learning or Predictive Modelling"
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) helps in finding hidden information by displaying data in generally two or three dimentions.
It is an approach to analyze data sets to summarize their main characteristics, often with visual methods.
There are a number of tools that are useful for EDA.Nowadays some popular tools for EDA among the data scientist are R and python.
Some techniques used in EDA are:
Box plot
Scatter plot
Parallel coordinates
Multidimensional scaling
Principal component analysis
Multilinear PCA
Some Applications are :
1.Finding the data type[continuous/discrete/categorical]
2.Finding multicollinearity issue.
3.Finding the distributions of predictor variables.
4.Finding Outliers
5.Finding possibilities for Feature Engineering(process of creating new predictor variables for predictions.)

Less than a few hours to the official release of Olamide's fourth studio album #StreetOT, it already peaks at the number one spot (displacing M.I's The Chairman) on iTunes chart for top albums in the world. Can you beat that?
Mind you, this album is still in pre-order. The feats this singular album has attained since the news of it's coming filtered in, has not only surpassed but equally scaled on so many humbling, yet-s0-impressive levels.
Up In The Club featuring YBNL's Viktoh, still remains the only full track (lead single) off the album that we've heard. And then not long ago, we watched Don Jazzy talk about working with Olamide on Skelemba
This further attests to whatever motives Olamide has employed to bag the title of the most consistent artiste in Nigeria, even endorsed by his fellow artistes. Thus, you can't afford to be sleeping while another one of our own makes world history. Make sure you grab a fresh hot copy that very moment it drops!

Hyeonho Park (Korea), the project leader responsible for the development of ISO 22341, explains:
"Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) or Designing Out Crime (DOC) are increasingly popular concepts. The growing evidence obtained from formal and rigorous evaluations in the fields of criminology, environmental psychology, and crime science has provided CPTED with a solid theoretical foundation. Despite concerns that CPTED may be oversimplified, or that it may conflict with other factors (value) or environmental determinism, there is no doubt it is increasingly accepted as an effective means for crime prevention and security.
There is a need for an international standard providing guidance explaining the principles, concepts and terminology for CPTED. CPTED is sometimes mistaken as merely an end product, such as CCTV cameras or improved lighting - rather than a process for continual improvement."
Working Group 6 is responsible for this project and is looking for more experts with expertice in protective security. If you wish to join the project team, please contact your National Standards Body.

Tama VK52KBCM Silverstar 5 Piece Birch Drum Kit w/Hardware Chameleon Sparkle
Tama Silverstar 5-pc Birch Drum Kit shown in Chameleon Sparkle.
Silverstar drums deliver the sound you expect from fine vintage drums, combined with the quality you expect from Tama ƒ???all at a price that's well within reach. Birch shells, Triple-Flanged Hoops, Star-Mounting system, and a slideable tom holder make it the ideal choice for drummers looking for creative inspiration.
- Birch Shells
Carefully selected birch materials are utilized for the shells in the Silverstar series. By using the same molding methods used for our high-end drums, a powerful sound, rich tone, and warm resonance usually only found with high-end drums are achieved.
- Star-Mount System
The Star-Mount System was developed to increase the resonance of drums. This new mounting system provides support at four points on the batter side hoop of a drum.
The bracket eye-bolts slide to the left and right, so it's possible to prevent the eye-bolts from touching each other even when setting up two toms close to each other.
- Low-Mass Lugs
These small lugs are newly designed separate lugs for the Silverstar series. By reducing the surface area that the lugs occupy on the shell, a structure that does not hinder shell resonance is achieved.
- Slidable Tom Holder
The MTH905N double tom holder for the Silverstar series makes it possible to move toms forward or backward up to 50mm to any position simply by loosening a square-headed bolt.
- Claw Hook
These claw hooks stabilize the wood hoops on bass drums and feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. Also, the new rubber spacers help protect the die-cast zinc claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.

ASFP and FIS launch fire performance labelling scheme
The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) and the Finishes and Interior Sector (FIS), have launched a labelling initiative which aims to improve fire safety by identifying fire performance partitions and highlighting the risks of cutting holes in them for services.
Through the use of an affixed label, the Fire Performance Partition Labelling Scheme has been developed to encourage best practice and assist contractors, installers, building owners and facility managers in identifying when a partition is a barrier designed to provide protection from fire and prevent its spread. The labels can be used to identify any partition that is fire-rated and will include information on where to go for guidance on safely conducting work and maintaining the fire performance of the material.
The scheme will assist in any retrospective work where cabling or ducting is required to pass through a fire performance partition, reduce the risk of breaching the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and help building owners avoid costly and disruptive remediation work.
Fire Performance Partition Labelling is available from distributors of fire-rated partition systems including CCF, Minster, Nevill Long and SIG Interiors, and contractors can order the self-adhesive tape along with their materials. For further information on the scheme, visit the ASFP website.

Current programmes and initiatives
'Public engagement' is a relatively new concept which has developed over the past 15 years. After a number of scientific controversies in the 1990's (e.g. the BSE / CJD crisis and the controversy surrounding genetically modified crops) there has been an increased focus on the importance of open and transparent communication between the scientific community and the wider population. There has also been an greater emphasis on dialogue in which the scientific community are receptive to the interests and concerns of non-scientists.
The RCUK (Research Councils UK) defines public engagement as:
"… a two-way process involving interaction and listening with the goal of generating mutual benefit."
This is the approach we take at the WCIP. We also recognise that we have lots of different audiences and our public engagement activities are tailored to the interests and requirements of these different groups.
We run a number of different programmes and activities - see below for more information. Any organisation or group interested in developing an activity with us, or hosting a workshop should contact the Centre's public engagement manager Dr Vickie Curtis. You can read our public engagement strategy in more detail. We also use social media to communicate about what we do.
School-based activities
Our researchers visit both primary and secondary schools in Glasgow and the West of Scotland and conduct practical-based workshops on topics such as microbial infections (including parasites) and immunology. Researchers have also spoken to students about their life as a scientist with the aim of encouraging children of school age to consider a career in science.
National Science Week
National Science Week takes place in the UK every March with hundreds of public engagement events organised throughout the country. The University of Glasgow opens its laboratories and researchers from the WCIP take part in practical activities for visiting groups of students of all ages.
(Image: making jelly and Haribo cells with primary school children)
Science festivals and Glasgow Science Centre
The Glasgow Science Festival is held every June and researchers from the WCIP have been involved in events (such as public lectures and hands-on practical demonstrations) aimed at a range of audiences. We also participate in the Middle of Scotland Science Festival (which moves to a different rural location every year in order to take science-based activities to areas where the population may not have access to city-based festivals), Midlothian Science festival, Edinburgh Science Festival, and the Strathearn Festival of Science.
Glasgow Science Centre
Our researchers have taken part in 'Meet the Expert' sessions run by Glasgow Science Centre. These involve fun, hands-on activities that help to explain the research we carry out to a young audience. (image: Dr Lilach Sheiner and her group explain how human and parasite cells work using fruit!)
Community engagement
We are keen to work with sectors of the community that do not readily have access to festival or museum-based outreach events, and aim to bring our activities to these groups. We have been working with two local community groups in Glasgow: STEM in the Gorbals and with Govan Community Project, where we have been providing STEM activities for their homework club. We have also done some engagement work with communities in areas of the world where parasitic diseases are endemic, and where local populations have a personal stake in the research we carry out at the Centre. We have held a series of educational and community-based workshops and discussions in Malawi as part of our involvement in the MLW Centre for Global Health. We hope to expand these activities in the future.
Using art and crafts to engage
Another approach we have explored in our public engagement work has involved incorporating arts and crafts to communicate about our research, and even working directly with visual artists. One of our most popular activities is Crafty Critters, an activity where children (and adults) make felt parasites with our researchers learning about the diseases they cause at the same time. We have taken this activity to science festivals, and schools. The patterns for the 'critters' including some information about each parasite can be downloaded here.
Immunology researcher Dr Megan MacLeod recently took part in Silent Signal, a Wellcome Trust funded project that pairs a scientist and an artist with the aim of producing a piece inspired by scientific research. Megan worked with artist Eric Schockmel, who created a trailer for a fictional computer game based on the actions of the T-cells of the immune system called 'Immunecraft'. This work was completed early in 2016. Click here to see the finished piece.
In 2014 we worked with costume designer Katie May Boyd who produced two pieces based on the Plasmodium (malaria) parasite. One costume represented infection (and eventual rupture) of a host liver cell (pictured here), while the other is based on the mature, sexually reproducing stage of the Plasmodium lifecycle. A short film was made to display these constumes.

What Type of Business Insurance Do I Need?
Business insurance protects your business and reduces its risk. The coverage varies by business, however, so you can use your friend's business policy to identify the coverage that your business needs. To identify the type of business insurance your business needs, you must consider several factors.
General Business Liability
If your business carries business insurance, it will carry a general business insurance policy. This is the core of the business policy and other coverages are added onto this main policy. General business liability coverage provides your business with protection against bodily and property damage claims. This coverage also protects against advertising claims and claims of negligence. General liability coverage is also extended for litigation expenses to defend the business against these claims.
Commercial Auto Insurance
If your business conducts business with its vehicles, it will require commercial auto insurance. This policy insures one or multiple vehicles with liability and property damage liability, as well as additional vehicle coverage, such as comprehensive and collision coverage. If you have many vehicles and drivers, your business may qualify for a fleet insurance policy. This type of insurance policy is common for business, such as limousine companies and delivery companies, to name just a few.
Workers Compensation
Workers compensation is a state-mandated insurance coverage. This coverage provides protection to employees who are injured while working. The coverage reimburses the employee for medical costs, rehabilitation costs and loss wages that result from the injury. All U.S. states, except Texas, require businesses to carry workers compensation, and each has its own guidelines and requirements for businesses.
Business Owners Insurance
The variations of business insurance protection are numerous. Similar to other types of insurance, business insurance policies are designed around the specific needs of the business. To meet the business' wide array of insurance needs, business owners often select the business owners insurance policy. This policy provides general liability insurance coverage, property insurance coverage and business interruption insurance. Any additional coverage, such as product liability coverage and professional liability insurance, or errors and omissions insurance, are added as endorsements to the business owners policy.
You should always speak with an insurance agent to identify the coverage selections that are best for your business. Since insurance products and selections often vary by insurance carrier, you may want to compare insurance quotations before making your final selection. Review your insurance policies towards the end of each policy term to make sure that the policy still meets your businesses needs before renewal.

Decommissioning the Steam Plant at the Charlottetown Facility
Since approximately 1926, the Steam Plant has been known by Maritime Electric employees as "old faithful", and is currently ready to provide 55 MW of generation when needed to power the Island.
However, the Steam Plant, which forms part of Maritime Electric's facilities on Cumberland Street, is approaching the end of its useful life and the Company is proposing to remove it from service. The plan is to decommission the Steam Plant and associated equipment through a staged process. The majority of the work is proposed to take place in 2022 and 2023 and requires years of advance planning.
The Company filed a Decommissioning Study [PDF-40.5 MB] with the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) on June 28, 2018. This document outlines the proposed plan, pending further stakeholder consultations, an Environmental Impact Assessment process and receipt of required approvals.

Interconnection Upgrade Project
The Interconnection Upgrade Project is one of the most significant projects for the Island in decades. Connecting to the mainland grid is vital to our energy supply future. Nearly 40 years ago when former existing submarine cables were installed, the electricity load was 95 MW. Over the years, demand has grown significantly and there was an urgent need for additional cables to secure the Island's electricity future. The load continues to grow and peaked at 262 MW in 2015. While PEI has developed significant wind energy supply, this supply requires back up at times when there is no wind. Prince Edward Island is unique as it has no natural energy supply sources (other than wind) and relies on off-Island sources for cost-effective and reliable energy supply.
The Interconnection Upgrade Project allows Prince Edward Island to import electricity from New Brunswick through two new 180 MW submarine cables, overhead transmission lines, substation upgrades and more. The submarine cables are owned by the Province of Prince Edward Island and are leased to and operated by Maritime Electric.
The Project is a collaborative partnership between the Government of Canada and the Government of Prince Edward. The project spanned three geographical regions including Prince Edward Island, the Northumberland Strait and New Brunswick. Maritime Electric was the construction agent for the Project in partnership with NB Power.
The Official Energization Ceremony for the Interconnection Upgrade Project took place on August 29, 2017 and we are proud of Project Team who lead the project at Maritime Electric. This is the largest project in our company's history, completed safely with no lost time and on budget.
The video below was filmed throughout the Project by Maritime Electric employees.

Just one of Moammar Gadhafi's eight children is still unaccounted for following the Libyan dictator's death last week, and although he is currently wanted by the International Criminal Court, Libya's former heir apparent is still trying to reclaim his father's glory.
Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi, the London-educated son who was to succeed his father and carry on the dynasty is possibly still at large. Libya's interim government had said he was captured this weekend, but at the very same time the 39-year-old appeared on Syrian television.
"We continue our resistance. I'm in Libya, alive, free and intend to go to the very end and exact revenge," Saif Al-Islam Gadhafi was heard saying on Syrian TV. "I say go to hell, you rats and NATO behind you. This is our country, we live in it, and we die in it and we are continuing the struggle."
The short message was broadcast on Syrian TV station Al-Rai on Sunday and was soon uploaded by several users onto YouTube. It's not clear if the audio-only message was broadcast live or was a recording. The Al-Rai station broadcasts into Libya, and in the past has broadcast messages from Moammar Gadhafi.
As the hunt for Saif intensifies, his brother Saadi Gadhafi, who escaped the country in September as rebel forces began to close in, has publicly lashed out about the death of his father and brother.

With their eco-friendly promise to Mother Nature, electric vehicles have gained popularity among U.S. consumers and policymakers alike, and auto industry giants are predicting even further growth for this high-tech and environmentally-friendly segment of the market in the future. Notwithstanding the growth thus far, one of the challenges that has been potentially inhibiting the greater dispersion of electric vehicles throughout Florida has been the lack of clarity in the law with respect to the installation and use of electric-vehicle charging stations within condominium communities. However, Florida's Legislature recently passed a new law facilitating an owner's capacity to install and use an electric-vehicle charging station within their condominium building that will surely ameliorate some of these challenges.
Before adoption of the new law, and as a result of the potential legal, engineering and financial liabilities resulting from the installation of electric-vehicle charging stations on a large scale, many boards of directors raised questions regarding the proper method to facilitate owners' requests to install electric-vehicle charging stations within condominium building parking garages. The new addition to Florida's condominium association laws provides clarity to some of these questions.

This happened to G's mother the other day when he announced that he wanted to make dinner. I will let her tell the rest of the story.
"G. made dinner for the family tonight - in 23 steps! So I took some pictures for you.
Cleaning the fish.
All clean.
Chopping up the veg.
Preparing a dredge for the fish.
Cutting up and arranging lemon pieces on a plate.
Preparing the pan for frying the fish.
Frying the fish.
Preparing the stuffing.
Setting the table......
...and Voila! dinner is served!
It was fun and he was so proud of himself. He even washed & dried some dishes. Our little chef! Practical Life seems to be approached differently now by G., not so much a learning of skills as a perfecting and contributing to the family that makes it so wonderful for him (and us!)."
By the way, G. is 5 and a half!

Options are contracts that give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security, such as a stock or exchange-traded fund, at a fixed price within a specific period of time.
Options can help investors manage risk. But buying and selling options also involves risk, and it is possible to lose money. It pays to learn about different types of options, trading strategies and the risks involved.

Time for that monthly summary of what got your attention last month here at The Producer's Perspective:
- The most commented on post of the month: Another Sign that Big Business is Doubling Down on Broadway.
- The most read post of the month: 10 Shows that Stand Out at the New York Fringe Festival 2016.
- The comment of the month is from Kate and was in response to This Could End the Secondary Market as We Know It.
I think another solution is one that I've seen work in London. The West End and Off-West End theaters there accept returns on tickets. As a ticket buyer, if I've purchased a ticket and can't use it, I can return it to the box office for anywhere from a 50% to a full refund (minus a handling fee.) What that trains buyers to do is to return unused tickets to the theater instead of putting them onto the secondary market. What it trains buyers to do, also, is not buy tickets on the secondary market because a sold out show is rarely TRULY sold out. As long as they keep checking the official website each day, they can get the returned tickets at face value. And theaters benefit because, as they say, an empty seat doesn't do a darned thing for word of mouth. Plus they get the extra handling fee and whatever percentage they hold back. Also, my experience at West End theaters is that they all ask for ID. It's no big deal and totally acceptable. But additionally, they make it so easy to return tickets and buy return tickets that there is absolutely no reason to purchase or sell on the secondary market.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States (U.S.) and women account for 60% of all deaths from stroke. Major shifts in modifiable exposures over the past decade - increasing obesity and physical inactivity and decreasing menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use - are changing the profile of women's health, but their effect on stroke among women is unclear. The California Teachers Study (CTS), a prospective cohort study that has actively followed 133,479 female California public school professionals for a broad range of health outcomes since 1995, is poised to evaluate how these societal transitions in modifiable exposures affect incidence of and mortality from stroke. The unique repository of life course exposure data on modifiable risk factors in the CTS cohort provides a near-singular resource for prospective assessment of women's health risks associated with long-term history of physical activity, longitudinal anthropometry data on body fat distribution, and detailed MHT use.
Our specific aims address the impact of these shifting exposures both individually and together on stroke incidence and mortality, both overall and among the two major stroke subtypes (ischemic and hemorrhagic).
In Aim 1, we will determine the impact of obesity and physical inactivity on the rates, risk, and population attributable fraction of incident and fatal stroke. Our detailed questionnaires permit us to evaluate the effect of lifelong and changing patterns of obesity phenotypes (defined as a combination of temporal changes in overall adiposity with adult body fat distribution) and physical activity, including by age and recency.
In Aim 2, we will determine whether the effects on rates, risk and population attributable fraction observed from obesity and physical inactivity (Aim 1) become more pronounced in the years following widespread cessation of MHT use (after 2002). To accomplish these aims, we will calculate age-adjusted and age-specific annual incidence and mortality rates, standardized to the U.S. population in 2000. To calculate risk associations, we will use time-dependent exposure data on these key exposures from teenage years to old age and analyze associations with stroke risk and mortality using statistical approaches that account for missing data and secular changes in exposures. We will calculate the population attributable fraction for each etiologic risk factor, and by time period when MHT was widely used versus the recent sharp decline in use. Public Health Relevance: Successful completion of these aims will permit evaluation of the population impact of a decade of profound transition in obesity, physical activity, and MHT use on women's stroke incidence and mortality, and provide insight into the interplay between these and other relevant exposures. This proposal focuses on the etiology of stroke incidence and causes of stroke mortality and emphasizes common, modifiable, behavioral risk factors in ways that can facilitate future population-wide stroke prevention efforts.
The California Teachers Study spans more than a decade of profound transitions in women's health behaviors, including increasing physical inactivity and obesity, and decreasing use of hormone therapy. By examining how exposures to these common, modifiable risk factors over a woman's lifespan influences rates and risk of stroke incidence and mortality, this study will provide critical new knowledge that can serve as the basis for behavioral public health interventions that benefit women on a population-wide scale.

Studies on the Use of the Site
EthicShare provides many services and features, but we also conduct research on the site's use and functionality. Our user research is twofold in its objectives: the first is to better understand the needs of the scholarly community for which the website is intended: undergraduate and graduate students and faculty working in the fields of practical and applied ethics. The second is to study more generally the mechanisms that encourage community participation in an online environment devoted to scholarly research and collaboration.
In working to accomplish the first objective, the EthicShare team has captured the attitudes, needs, and research challenges of a selected segment of the bioethics community through site visits at all EthicShare partner institutions and through a survey of over 90 bioethics faculty members, research associates, post-docs, and graduate students. The purpose of the site visits and survey was to engage in an iterative process to gauge bioethics scholars' attitudes about existing content, systems for information retrieval, social networking features, community participation within online environments, and to elicit overall feedback on EthicShare project goals.
User testing has been another way the EthicShare team has worked towards the first objective, and involves regular beta testing of site features. Testers are drawn from a pool of bioethics scholars from the University of Minnesota and around North America. The EthicShare site has also been tested in the University of Minnesota Usability Lab. In addition to these smaller methods, large‐scale feedback cycles will be employed in which 150‐200 bioethics scholars and graduate students nationwide will be asked to view the website, test features, and provide feedback.
To achieve the second research objective, we have formulated an experimental design process for testing the most effective means of introducing and encouraging use of EthicShare's collaborative and community‐based features. As a site that is built around easy‐to‐use social networking technologies that help users navigate a rich research resource, EthicShare will test how social web tools can foster community and engagement to provide a model for future research communities. We will develop mechanisms to motivate and measure different forms of community participation, from submitting comments, to evaluating the quality of a resource, to contributing content.
If you are interested in either opting out of or opting in the studies that we conduct in EthicShare, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Many of our colleagues are using smart devices for client/patient contact, but are they wise in their wholesale adoption of new technologies? Since some of us started telehealth work in 1994, we at the TeleMental Health Institute have remained conservative. We pride ourselves on looking before we leap, at least most of the time. When it comes to legal or ethical issues, we try to get our facts from government documents or professional associations, and extrapolate as little as possible. Their lack of direct applicability has often left us perplexed and digging deeper. Luckily, we usually found what we sought. This entire scenario is especially true with regard to email, which we've reluctantly embraced because of it's lack of the many cues we feel are essential to responsible mental health care with clients/patients who are unknown, unseen and unidentified by any larger system, such as a hospital network or employer.
Nonetheless, we see many applications of relevance involving email with clients/patients who are known, seen or identified in larger health care systems. We therefore have been investigating a variety of companies that claim to be HIPAA compliant. We share their names and links with you today, and encourage you to comment below if you know these or other companies that might be of relevance to health care delivery:

- HealthBI
- Hushmail – offers free accounts
- Neomailbox
- Luxsci
