This week I was able to get rental property number 12 under contract! I purchased rental property number 11 over six months ago, which is way too long for me to reach my goal of 100 properties. I was hoping to buy six rental properties in 2014 and I only bought three. There are a number of reasons why I fell short of my goal including market changes, fix and flips and running my team. I hope to buy seven rentals in 2015 and I have a number of new techniques I am going to implement to reach that goal.
The details on rental property number 12
Rental property number 12 was a MLS property and REO. We have had a huge decrease in REO listings in our area, but there are still a few coming up for sale. This home is located only a few blocks from where I bought my first house that I lived in for seven years. I ended up selling that house seven years after I bought it for a loss, because I bought at market value and our market decreased. The rental property is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house with a 2 car attached garage. The home will need a fair amount of work including paint, carpet, windows, doors, appliances and a few closets put in.
I figure it will rent for $1,400 a month after it is repaired and I will require $10,000 to $15,000 of repairs. I am buying it around $130,000, which is higher than I usually buy houses that need this much work. The problem is there have been almost nothing for sale in the last six months similar in price and condition to my previous rental property purchases. One reason I am okay paying more is this house is worth at least $180,000 after it is repaired. I could flip it, but I really want to add some more rental properties, because of the passive income they create.
Here is a great article on whether it is better to flip or rent a house.

Future rental property plans
I have been busy so far in 2014 in regards to rental properties. I made an offer on another rental property last week that I was beat out on in a highest and best situation. I made another offer on a potential rental property yesterday that I am waiting to hear back on (low offer on a new listing so I am not getting my hopes up). I have decided I need to start looking at buying more expensive houses if I want to reach my goals.
When I buy more expensive houses I still want to buy below market value and I still want them to have great cash flow. However it will be very tough to reach 20 percent cash on cash returns with higher priced homes since more cash is needed to buy each property. On rental property 12 I only come up with a 15 percent cash on cash return, but I am gaining $30,000 in equity or more. I think earning 15 percent cash on cash is better than sitting on the sidelines and waiting for deals that may not come. The offer I made this week that I am waiting to hear back on, was actually on a more expensive house, but it needed much less work and will rent for more.
That 15 percent is also at the top end of what I would get if I were to buy a turn-key rental property.
How will I get more cash to buy rental properties by flipping less?
One reason I have not bought more rental properties is I have been short on cash. For most of 2014 I had ten fix and flips in my inventory. I was really focusing on flipping and it showed in my business. Flipping can provide great income, but it can also take a lot of cash. I use some private money and a line of credit to help with the flipping expenses, but it still takes a lot of cash to flip that many houses. I sold one flip yesterday and another one is selling this week bringing me down to 6 flips. I have another flip I am buying next month and one more selling next month.
I think having five to seven flips at once time is the sweet spot for me. Anymore than that and it takes too long to get contractors to repair them and ties up too much cash. I also may look for more private money so that I can flip and buy rentals.
How will I buy more rentals by refinancing properties?
I refinanced two properties a couple of years ago, but since then I have relied on income from my real estate team and flipping to buy more rentals. I am considering refinancing a couple rentals and using that cash to buy new properties. Thanks to the crazy appreciation we have seen in my area and buying houses below market value, I have close to $100,000 of equity in some of my properties.
I can refinance at 75 percent of the loan to value ratio with my portfolio lender, which means I could take out $50,000 or more from each property. I would decrease my cash flow on the properties I refinance, since my payment would increase around $300 a month. Thanks to rent increases my cash flow has increased to over $600 a month on the rentals I am considering a refinance on. I spent about $30,000 on these houses to buy and repair them, which means I would make $20,000 off the property and still making money every month on the cash flow. I could use the refinance money to buy more properties which would increase my returns even more.
Here is an article on how a cash out refinance works.
I will write another article when I buy rental property 12 with the numbers and I will post another video when the house is repaired. With less flipping and more refinancing I hope to have many more articles in 2015 about new rental property purchases and get closer to my goal to buy 100 rental properties!

Hello Dear Friends,
Betsy and Brock have been in Chengdu for 5 days and 2 hours. We will board a train tonight to begin our adventure into the mountains. Tomorrow morning we will be met by two jeeps and we will stock up, register at the police station and go forth!
The past five days in urban Chengdu have seen us in so many meetings, and have organized so much, it seems like we have been here for three weeks. On our first day, our collaborators, Lacuo & Lamu, enthusiastically greeted us. This trip is a collaboration with Lacuo who will be our primary guide in the mountainous area that is her home. With the help of a translator, we planned our trip and studied maps while we were being poured bottomless cups of tea. With major assistance from Betsy's son's company, Blue Sheep Travel, within 48 hours we were fully outfitted and equipped with tents, sleeping bags, pads and warm gear.
In between, Betsy made numerous contacts with several old friends of leading NGO's and government officials. Immediately Brock and Betsy were invited to give a public talk with PowerPoint at the Living Water Garden as part of the World Environment Day being celebrated in Chengdu. We had the privilege of speaking to the indispensable core group of Chinese collaborators that Betsy has known and worked with for 14 years. Over 60 enthusiastic young activists and leaders were also in the audience.
We also went to visit the Model Village, which is about to expand from five households to 100 (each household has between 10 to 15 people). At the moment we arrived we participated in an auspicious meeting between 70 farmers, with Chengdu Urban River Association staff, funders and local government officials. We heard a lengthy presentation about their "Ecological Urine Diverting Dry Toilet".
Brock's one tourist moment was a visit to the world famous 2500-year-old irrigation project called Dujianyan. Quite the amazing work and we much appreciated the historic bamboo rolled rock gabion structures.
We have found it quite delightful to be traveling with each other, as we are both afflicted with water on the brain. Betsy's Mandarin has been critically important and Brock's abounding enthusiasm for adventure is great! Betsy to witness the mundane marvels of this place through Brock's new eyes is reaffirming and supporting her experience of having planted her heart here for so many years. Betsy found it very heartening that ten years after the completion of the Living Water Garden, many people are beginning to grasp the importance of living systems design and the significant and inextricable relationship between water quality and health.
A very exciting bit of news is that Sichuan Province will be featuring the Living Water Garden at the Shanghai World's Fair.
We will be reporting back after the journey in the mountain in about four weeks.
Many blessing and thank you to everyone's trust and generosity!
Love, Betsy and Brock

However, after I saved a project, the application reopened with the items I already applied to the design I was working on, so I lost no work. I also experienced minor problems with the undo menu item not consistently working. Other than these issues, Logo Design Studio worked fine for creating, editing, and exporting the few projects I created.

I appreciate your candor.
I'm not sure we're misunderstanding each other, it's simply that the language here … the terminology … can be a minefield. "Branding" is so much more than a logo (good or bad), the word "professional" has been drained of its meaning in so many disciplines, and good design is not something one can achieve with nothing more than a computer and a little software.
Clearly, none of this is of your making … but … there is an inclination for people to think that a computer or camera does most of the work, and maybe it's a reviewer's or journalist's responsibility to refrain from exacerbating, if not correcting, the misconception. I think this can be done without insulting the readers who may have an interest in such tools.
In any case, maybe pass along the thoughts about the headline to your editor.
Thanks for being open to an alternate point of view.
"There are tons of inspiring websites and products showcasing attractive and powerful logo designs, but unless you have good graphic design and application skills, inspiration may not be enough. Logo Design Studio provides an affordable option for those looking to create a design without making a huge investment in time or money."
I may be missing something, but how does one acquire the "good graphic design and application skills" by purchasing this app?
I believe that there are countless people who can be well-served by software like this; folks who can't financially justify hiring a professional designer to create a logo for what may be a fledgling or part-time enterprise. My concern is that the headline of the piece (if not the article itself) is overreaching and misleading. It's not only does a disservice to potential users of the software, but is also insulting to design professionals.

immaturity is ok as long as you are not belong to those 'crybabies'(THIS is the most childish thing to do!)who cried only for a small,meaningless purpose.being immatured,such as watching cartoons all over the time for 24 hours is ok.(but i really don't think that watching anime is immaturity).the only thing that matters here is how other people thnk about you.some might think that you are extremely nerd.but as long as they can accept your attitude and you are not doing something ridiculous,that's ok.
Sometimes immaturity is the only way to find happiness.

The Mature people exist only because of the Immatures.
It's just like saying: number 2 will not be invented if 1 is non-existent.
now this is an example of an immature response. just kidding. (no offense...just playing around.)
seriously, though. if you want to be immature, go ahead. there is no one in the world powerful enough (except God, maybe your loved ones can too) to make you stop. then again, there is the dilemma that, while you CAN CHOOSE to be immature, SHOULD you be immature?
doing such just for attention isn't really my idea of getting the right attention. sure, you WILL GET ATTENTION. That is, people get the idea that you are generally a retard and that you are screwing yourself up. In that sense, no one will take you seriously. and take note that, that impression by people will stick to you.
so i suggest the other way around. be mature. that is why people grow up physically, anyway. now, before anyone else flames me, the above comment was just a joke. my back hurts from all the work i do. lol.
firstly ,how immature is call immature
I may not be on much.. school is starting!!
Bein Immature is aight
Back in Business
I think not all the time but at times. for fun (:
it isnt a bad thing because when immature you still keep some innocence as too being mature and making sacrifices that you dont want to make
Is Any of my friends even on anymore on this site haha???

Hey~! i was wondering.. im 16 and people that i know think that im immature. But my ambition is to be the most immature year 12 at school ( dont ask LOLOOL =p ). So what do u guys think? do u think being or acting immature is stupid?
"Maturity is knowing when to be immature."
like CrashAriMP5N2O said, it's all about moderation.
In Colombia...having a blast
lol Being all mature isn't as fun as being immature. But just don't over do it, because then you really will be an immature 12th grader that people hates.
Like everyone else said. You have to know your limits. There's a huge difference between keeping in touch with your inner child and being Micheal Jackson and building a theme park in your backyard :crazy:
I don't think I know anyone around my age who acts completely mature. Yes you have to accept responsibility. But you should do what makes you happy.
Immature is a word you put on someone when they still need to be taken care of by parents in the most simplistic ways( talking about like 1-10 yrs.); so generally it imposes you can't act your age and do nothing for yourself on your own so i'm pretty sure its a bad thing.
Thats just my conception on it though; I don't think that being playful and being immature exactly fall into the same category but most people do D:
being immature can be annoying but it can also make u look cute
feeling loved from buddies also busy atm
^ somtimes it can make you look cute but somtimes it can make you lokk like a bastard depending on how immature your being(if your a teen and/or adult)
havent been on in years
in my opinion, its not bad to immature !! ..i mean, do we have to be serious all the time ? how about those laughing and joking around things isnt better ?
I would say there are two types of maturity/immaturity:
Superficial immaturity - This pretty much means stuff like acting goofy/cute, being into "immature" things like Anime, etc.
Real immaturity - Mostly means making stupid decisions, refusing to take responsibility, drunk driving, hurting peoples' feelings, etc.
I'd say the superficial variety is OK as long as you're not at a funeral or something (in other words, it's socially appropriate.) The Real variety is BAD but not unexpected if you are young. Still, no matter how young you should try to avoid that.
Trying to act excessively superficially mature to pretend that you're "real mature" is kind of typical at times, especially with kids.

Between The Station And The Sea is our twelfth album, and the biggest yet - we've roped in friends of ours to fill it all out with cello, violin, saxophone, accordion and even a semi-functioning omnichord. The end result is a melancholy affair that darts between breakneck gypsy punk and chamber folk.
Topics vary, as you'd expect, but the general themes are car boot sale early birds (Magpies), the poverty porn of certain political activists (Class War), a lady who feeds the birds in the park (Pigeon Lady), dementia (Harry), the cuts (Kings And Queens), growing older in Brighton (Between The Station And The Sea), dismal relationships (One Of Those Couples) and plenty more besides.
The few that have heard it thus far have offered some comparisons, namely Beirut, Yann Tierson, The Violent Femmes, The Astronauts and The Tiger Lillies.

BYKI French was
one of the first iPhone apps I bought - when the Irish app came out, I bought it straight away. BYKI's online software
which has been around since about the early 90s. The BYKI website promises you'll be able to 'learn <a language> fast, know it forever' using their system. If only
The BYKI Irish app aims to teach you 1000 words and phrases. I'm not an expert on identifying dialects - I can only say it's not Ulster - e.g. 'Dia duit' is pronounced 'Jee-ah Guh-widge' not 'Jee-ah Ditch' as you'd more commonly hear in Ulster. You'll learn 'Conas atá tú?' for 'How are you?' instead of our more common 'Cad é mar ata tú?'
BYKI teach with their 3 step process, which involves:1 Look through flashcards with images and text.2 Test yourself - look at the Irish and see if you can get the English3 Test yourself - look at the English and see if you can get the Irish4 QUIZYes. It's actually a four-step process. They must think that three steps sounds better than four!In
step one you see the text, an image and hear the Irish spoken. Steps 2
and 3 show you the Irish/English and you tap to reveal the answer,
telling the app whether or not you got it correct.Finally, there's the quiz. I use this as a test quite
often - I go straight to the quiz to see how I do. If I'm awful, I'll
do the set from scratch. If I'm 100%, I'll mark the list off as
learned. I also use this to quick revise lists I learned a while back.Problem 1 - the listsBYKI's
language lists are frustrating. You only get to download a maximum of
91 lists - with about 10 words in each. That's sort of fine, I guess,
except that there's no real reason for this limit. And the lists are
not always grouped the way I would group words - e.g. You might be
asked to learn 'go raibh maith agat' in the 'at the bank' list. It's not
that I might not want to say 'go raibh maith agat' at the bank - it's just that I'd
rather learn that word in a list of 'polite stuff' and learn another
money word or phrase in the bank list. You can't really tell what
you'll get in a list.Problem 2 - Learning what you already knowYou
can't delete words you know and keep words you don't. So if there's a
list of 10 words and you already know 'dia duit' and 'slán', you'll
still have to sit through repeated exposure to 'dia duit' and 'slán' when you'd rather be pushing your brain with new stuff. EVERY
app I've used has this problem, so it's not a big BYKI failure - but
still - being bored when learning is death to the retention process. Other useful features on BYKI FrenchTwitter searchReal-time
Twitter search of words and phrases from within Byki for iPhone. I
loved this feature in BYKI for French - it's so interesting to get random real-life usage
of French phrases. Doesn't work so well for Irish - even obvious words like 'slán' frequently don't have results. Guess we all need to tweet more as Gaeilge!Download User Language ListsI
know you can donwload lists from over 5,000 user-created lessons, but
this feature never seemed to work for me - kept crashing and I gave up.
Perhaps it's more stable now, but you've still got the problem of
figuring out which of the 5,000 lists are any good. Would be better if
BYKI would either create new lists for us to download, or star
extra-good or popular lists from the user-generated lists.Extend your app with BYKI deluxeIf
you buy BYKI deluxe (currently about £35) you can create your own
language lists and download them to your phone. There's a free trial
for this - and it's a similar feature to Mental Case, which I'll be reviewing later. Great feature, I guess, if you've the time to sit and make your own lists. I certainly don't.Neat controlsBYKI
offer great settings control - you can turn off the English voice that
so irritates a lot of users, so you just hear the target language. You
can change the scores, either to mark off word sets you know and don't
need to learn, or to cheat and make yourself feel better. You can
change the quiz settings from Irish-English and vice versa (I prefer
the harder English-Irish setting).StatsIt's
got a nice little stats option, which will tell you how many sessions
you've had, number of learned cards, number of
learned lists and total time spent learning.VERDICT?I
highly recommend BYKI as one of the best language apps I've found. It
could do better, but few apps compare. It's well worth the money.Costs: £4.99 sterlingWant
to try BYKI before you buy? I can't find a 'lite' BYKI Irish app, but
I found 15 BYKI languages - a free app that introduces you to different
languages using the BYKI system.
Anyone else tried BYKI and liked it?
Is fearr dhá theanga ná ceann amháin…
I've used Byki Express, Standard, and Deluxe, and I think they do their job very well. There are some ways that the Byki program could be improved, but overall it's worth the money. However, I've never used Byki for the iPhone, as I don't have an iPhone.
I tried it right after I found this site, and I see some difference than any other language learning apps. This one is cool it gives me more idea and some features about a certain language lesson. I tried many versions of several apps but I only find this one useful than those, which make me thankful that I have seen this post. Need to understand and learn at least from the basic languages being use in that country as it is required for me for my future education in that place maybe next year will arrive there.
"beautify your devices like this http://www.kekacase.com/design-your-own/custom-case-for-the-ipad-2-3-4.html"
It's a great app; no doubt, it just doesn't cover the
specific languages of interest to me. With that said, I've still found some use
for it.
Bill Gates - I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.
Pretty good article, I've to put it here Home Decoration Stores in Lahore
I didn't even know about this post! The whole reason I've continued with Irish is because of BYKI. I first bought their product about 7 or 8 years ago. It was about 60$ or so, I'm not too sure. Anyways, byki was the first product I found to start my learning. While ordering it I did like what they were offering. 1 program with almost 1000 words/phrases and then a second program that taught grammar with additional words/phrases as well. Unfortunately they got rid of the latter for unknown reasons.
My honest experience with Byki Irish:
Every single time I've ever felt that spark of inspiration and decided to jump back onto this program, I'd always wind up stopping before I got too far. Maybe it's me and my will to study or the product itself; there's too many factors to consider. I did find it a bit boring though, part of the reason why I kept falling out of my studying ritual each night. I'd try to do just one list per night but even that got old fast.
Part of the reason why I believe it was the program's method that's at fault, is that the way I'm studying now keeps me inspired and motivated. I WANT to learn more with my method, unlike how I felt using byki. After 8 years with byki I've only gotten past the first introduction lists and then only a few more after that. With how I'm studying now, I've learned twice as much as I ever had with byki. I'm learning the WHYs of the language rather than simple translations. "Why is [this] said like that?" "Why is [that] word changed?"
Don't get me wrong; I love the concept of byki and their method but it gets really old really fast. If you really dedicate yourself to it, it absolutely works. To put it simply, it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to move onto the next list without memorizing your current one(unless you decide to give up and skip it), and by typing the same phrases over and over(and over and over and over) again, you WILL memorize. I do wanna get back to it. Having an underlying foundation of vocabulary is an unbelievable terrific start to language learning. I'm just having more fun the slow and steady way.
Oh, my first reason of why commenting in the first place: I have emailed BYKI for information on what dialect their product is taught in twice. Once when I first started using it years ago and once more not too long ago(a few months). On both occasions I have been told Connemara, so hopefully that answers any questions one may have on BYKI Irish!

OAKLAND PARK -- The City Council wants to review more proposals before it decides to replace the city`s communication system for non-police personnel.
The city`s present network of mobile and hand-held radios is 17 years old and in dire need of an overhaul, City Manager J. Scott Miller said.
He said Motorola could replace the city`s system for $186,000.
Miller said city workers need reliable radios if they are to communicate effectively during emergencies and field inspections.
``A lot of time we are drowned out due to crowding,`` said Miller.
In a memo to the council, Miller said, ``The city has grown in the past many years, but our communication system has not grown proportionately with the expansion.
``Throwing good money away on the current system is just not justified.``
Miller was asked by the council why he didn`t wait until budget time to make the request. Miller said he was concerned about the hurricane season.
The city`s present system was purchased from General Electric. Miller said the city`s service has ``been declining.`` Oakland Park pays General Electric about $9,500 annually for repairs.
Miller said he doesn`t want the city to purchase a communication system that will be rendered unreliable in the future because of a poor service contract or obsolete technology.
In some cases, Miller said, smaller communication firms have discontinued servicing certain models.
Miller said a good communication system should last more than 10 years. He suggested that the city borrow the money to pay for it.
But the council decided to wait for bids from other firms.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Nov. 18, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Doctors and health specialists at the Birmingham Wellness Center (BWC) in Birmingham, MI, are providing pain relief for patients with natural remedies. "Chiropractic care, massage therapy and applied kinesiology are three pain-management techniques that are safe, effective alternatives to prescription painkillers," says Dr. Jennifer Turnbull Bonde, founder and owner of the BWC, which provides natural pain management for patients throughout Oakland County and beyond. "If you're living with chronic pain, Bonde says, "you don't have to depend on prescription painkillers; there are natural alternatives that are just as effective, and, obviously, are so much better for you."
Bonde, who has treated patients at her center for nearly 15 years, adds, "Whether a patient is struggling with chronic pain due to a sports or whiplash injury, or a pain condition like sciatica, natural alternatives to pain medication do exist. Unfortunately, some individuals are unfamiliar with chiropractic care and unsure whether it's right for them. As a chiropractor, my job is to educate patients about their different options."
As part of this commitment to wellness care education, Bonde is currently working to raise awareness about how chiropractic care, massage therapy and other natural techniques can help relieve chronic pain.
"Natural pain relief techniques are effective because the treatments address the underlying cause of pain, such as a mechanical misalignment in the spine," says Bonde. "In contrast, medication can only cover up pain, offering temporary relief. Furthermore, more medication is necessary to continue the benefits. Consequently, patients can become dependent on prescription painkillers to manage daily activities. Or they may eventually need invasive surgery."
Bonde begins treatment with an initial posture analysis and diagnostic testing. These tests help identify the underlying spinal misalignment that is triggering chronic pain. Adjustments can help correct this misalignment, relieving pressure on the nerves. Therapeutic massage is also beneficial. Massaging sore muscle tissue increases circulation and supports healing.
Depending on the type of injury, Bonde may recommend applied kinesiology (AK), which uses a variety of therapies, including nutritional counseling, joint manipulation, reflexology and myofascial release to naturally relieve pain.
"AK therapy is extremely effective for relieving pain associated with joint injuries, damaged ligaments and injured soft tissue," says Bonde.
The practice also offers WellWave therapy, an advanced trigger-point treatment that helps relieve chronic pain.
"WellWave therapy is a cutting-edge treatment used by professional athletic trainers," says Bonde. "The therapy sends a pulse of electricity that breaks down the area where pain is present. The wave breaks down scar tissue and calcification while stimulating the body's cells to heal. The treatment itself is painless and provides significant pain relief for our injured patients."
Patients can learn more about natural pain relief at http://birminghamwellness.com. They also can keep informed on a variety of wellness topics by reading Bonde's blog at http://birminghamwellness.com/blog/doctors_blog.html.

Dr. Adejoke Ayoola
Nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned,1,2 a higher rate than that of other developed countries.2 Unplanned pregnancy in the U.S. was highest among poor and low-income women and minorities regardless of income.3 Unplanned pregnancy regardless of income has been associated with negative maternal behaviors and birth outcomes including poor preconception care, smoking and drinking during pregnancy, delayed initiation of prenatal care, preterm births and low birth weight.2,4 Even starker outcomes are reported among low income women and minority groups,5,6 who do not adequately receive routine and specialized prenatal care services,7 including preconception services.8 This research is to promote women's reproductive health and positive pregnancy outcomes by reducing the risk of unplanned pregnancy and delayed pregnancy recognition.
This study proposes that women with knowledge of reproductive changes and high self-efficacy about their pregnancy planning will most likely follow through with actual planning. Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory on self-efficacy9,10and Nola Pender's health promotion model11 guide this assumption. Several studies have identified knowledge and self-efficacy as important determinants of many health behaviors.11–14 For example, Weisman, et al15 concluded that women who perceive they can control future birth outcomes are more likely to use preconception interventions. This study will be one of the very few studies which will focus on reducing the risk of unplanned pregnancy and promoting early recognition of pregnancy by actively involving low-income women in their reproductive care, through monitoring of menstrual cycle & ovulation time, with the use of ovulation test kits during the preconception period.
This study is a community-driven health promotion effort that builds on previously conducted Calvin College Department of Nursing (CCDON) community needs assessments in three partnering low-income neighborhoods in Grand Rapids. In community surveys and focus group discussions, women identified unplanned pregnancies as a top health concern. Our prior work has shown that women often are not fully informed about their reproductive health. In our analysis of the Pregnancy Assessment Monitoring Survey (PRAMS) on reasons for unplanned pregnancy, 33% of the women felt they could not get pregnant at the time of conception.16 In fact, our focus group discussions in 2008 in the nursing program partnering neighborhoods showed that women want to "know their bodies" before they are pregnant.17 A pilot study was conducted during the spring semester in 2010 to address the issues identified by the women in the focus group discussions in the CCDON partnering neighborhoods. This pilot study titled "Knowing your body" was to establish the feasibility of conducting a study on increasing women's knowledge of the reproductive changes occurring in their bodies as an important means to reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancy and to promote early pregnancy recognition.
This current study titled the Preconception Reproductive Knowledge Promotion (PREKNOP) addresses two key areas of interest in the U.S. National Institute of Nursing Research's strategic plan: 1) Promoting Health and Preventing Disease: Design intervention studies using community-based approaches and 2) Eliminating Health Disparities: Identify strategies that will reduce the long-term adverse consequences of poor maternal and reproductive health in minorities and underserved populations. Women of childbearing age, especially minorities and the low-income, need continuous monitoring and on-going educational approach to reduce disparity in health and improve pregnancy outcomes. This study is foundational for designing interventions among low-income women for whom regular monitoring of menstrual changes is incorporated as part of healthy lifestyle practice.
Calvin's research has been recognized on a national level when three Calvin nursing majors received awards for their research at the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS) conference—one of the biggest conferences of its kind in the country- in spring 2014. Read the full story.

text: Law school can be a whirlwind – but it's tame in comparison to the 110 mph winds that buffeted the Law Center two years ago. Hurricane Ike swept ashore on Galveston Island on Sept. 13, 2008, and the Category 2 storm ultimately caused more than 40 deaths and an estimated $54 billion in damages. The Law Center came through virtually unscathed, and students missed only a handful of classes. In Ike's aftermath, the Houston-Galveston Area council awarded Associate Dean Richard Alderman and his Center for Consumer Law a $404,000 grant to help hurricane victims deal with unresolved legal issues. At commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2009, Dean Nimmer congratulated Law Center students for surviving not only law school, but also a direct hit from a major storm.

Landscape & Natural Resources and the Arboretum partner to collect, analyze, and report on meaningful urban ecology research projects on the UCF campus. Projects include collection of GIS data, and development of best management practices for the Landscape and Natural Resources programs.
The aim of this program is to encourage more students from those populations who are traditionally underrepresented in graduate education to attend graduate school. For more information visit http://arboretum.ucf.edu/research/ramp/ or contact the UCF RAMP department.
Vegetation Monitoring
As a part of the University's commitment to the long term conservation and management of the campus natural areas, a vegetation monitoring program has been implemented to document plant composition, both native and invasive, throughout campus. Once populations of invasive species are identified this monitoring program helps track the progress and effectiveness of our current land management practices. This approach assists Landscape and Natural Resources in protecting and enhancing our campus ecosystems. The vegetation monitoring program consists of 37 established plots in the campus natural areas that were randomly generated using ArcGIS software. These plots are visited twice a year by staff, during the summer growing season and in the winter dormant season, to record plant species and environmental conditions in the surrounding habitat. This procedure is also used to monitor the University's compliance projects with St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), and campus restoration projects.
Urban Forestry Effects (UFORE)
Student interns have done research on the urban forest and its potential in sequestering atmospheric carbon through a research strategy called Urban Forestry Effects (UFORE). The UFORE study attempts to set the baseline carbon sequestration rate for all of campus by measuring the structure of the campus's urban and natural forests. This information has been collected by student interns and will be used in the policies and master planning processes for the future land uses on campus. This information can also be used to determine the hourly pollution removal rate and the cooling effect trees have on nearby buildings.

Results from UCF UFORE Study
Carbon Storage and Sequestration from Tree Canopy and Understory
- Total campus & Natural Lands emission reduction equivalent to:
- 555,498 gallons of gasoline
- 972 passenger cars
- 11,523 barrels of oil
Green Roofs
What is a Green Roof?
A green roof is a roof that is either partially or completely covered with plants. There are two types of green roofs – intensive and extensive. An intensive green roof requires more maintenance, thus it has deeper soil and can support plants, and even trees, with larger root systems. A roof garden would be an example of an intensive green roof. Extensive green roofs, like the ones on campus, have small shrubs and grasses with smaller root systems and require less maintenance.
What are the benefits of a Green Roof?
- Reduces energy use: lowers the cost of cooling and heating a building
- Green Roofs can lower roof temperatures up to 45-50 degrees.
- Reduces air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
- Reduces storm water runoff
- Prolongs lifespan of roof
- Creates a habitat for wildlife
- Reduces the Urban Heat Island effect
Our Green Roof
- Located on the Physical Science Building
While vegetated roofs have been used for centuries to insulate buildings, especially in areas of northern Europe, the technology has been slower to catch on in most of the developed world. The modern version of the "green" roof wasn't developed until the 1960's in Germany and has only become somewhat popular in the United States within the last decade. This lag may be due to the significant overhead cost of constructing a green roof compared to a traditional roof. However, recent studies have shown that the wealth of benefits associated with a vegetated roof may far outweigh the costs.
Research has shown that green roofs reduce storm water runoff amount and rate, filter both air and water, sequester carbon, create wildlife habitat, increase sound abatement, and reduce the urban heat island effect. In addition, vegetated roofs have been shown to drastically reduce energy costs for heating and cooling as a result of thermal insulation, shading, and evaporative cooling (via transpiration). Cost-benefit analyses have revealed that the overhead cost of installing a green roof could be negated in a short period of time as a result of the money saved on energy consumption, especially in a building with a large roof to wall ratio.
Additional research has demonstrated that soil moisture and leaf area index (LAI) are key variables in the effectiveness of thermal reduction by green roofs. In particular, studies have shown that thermal conductivity decreases with increasing soil moisture and increasing LAI. Our green roof research is focused on quantifying the differences in the temperature profile and soil moisture content between two native plant species.

So… I'm 18 (soon 19) and my Boyfriend or Best Friend is 20, we got engaged about 4 months ago and the only people I've told is my to BFF's.
I have no idea how to tell my mom, or my FI's parents. He doesn't want to tell anyone because he is afraid of their answeres and he want to wait untill our 2-year anniversary in september. I feel it's almost to late to tell. Like, "Hey, we got engaged, 4 months ago.. but we didn't want you to know 'cuz we didn't know what you would reply"
I find it silly. I really want to tell people and post it on FB. How do I get him to agree with me in telling people?
I don't want to live on a "lie". I want to share our happiness. I love this man to death, and I am certain that I will spend the rest of my life together.
My great-grandmother got married when she was 18. Why was it easier back then?
Please help..
Love, a fellow engaged woman.

Browns welcome 37 to rookie camp
Pat Shurmur held a 15-minute pre-rookie minicamp conference call with local reporters to discuss this weekend's camp. Shurmur said he expected 37 players to attend, including all 11 of the team's recent draft choices and 15 undrafted free agent signings. Shurmur said the rest of the players would be young players still classified as rookies.
Shurmur said the players would have physicals on Thursday evening and then have an orientation before practices on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He also said the reason the camp is this weekend is so the player's wouldn't have any graduation or school obligations and could stay over Monday for off-season workouts.
Article continues below ...
Shurmur said he expects top choice Trent Richardson to take part in practice, despite having an off-season arthroscopic surgery on his knee. He said he also is excited to see Brandon Weeden take snaps under center.
He also talked about the perception of Weeden earning the starting quarterback spot.
"You draft players for a reason, but you have to see them perform," he said. "I can see the quarterback discussion is going to be interesting."
There have been league reports that DL John Hughes and DB Trevin Wade have agreed to terms to go along with FB/TE Brad Smelley and LB James Michael-Johnson.

Anyway, here rev:Alpha of my ShapeOko upgrade on GitHub.
So size was a compromise but I have room for it and I think this space will be worth it. Unlike other things in my garage this will "pay rent". I may have to do some spring cleaning and "evict" some junk to find this a home.
X-Rail and Gantry Improvements
|X Gantry Box like design
Double X-rails with wlanfox Blocks - It was pretty much a consensus that a Double-X rail would be needed for the meter span. I also thought that the wlanfox Blocks were an excellent idea and be made of 3/4" plywood. I will use M5 threaded rod and nylock nuts to span the distance of the blocks. I think using nylock nuts all around is a good idea as I have had some nuts loosen and fall off in the middle of a job. Also 4 more V-Wheel Kits are needed.
|Gantry Underside
Standard Wheel Carriage Plate - Using these instead of the existing motor plate lowers the X-Rail so that the resulting moment arm is reduced. Forces in the Y direction should have less twisting effect on the Gantry and X-Rail assembly. The draw back of this mod is that the Y motors have to be relocated. You can see in the overview picture that they will be mounted on a fabricated item I call the Motor-Buttress assembly (blue). This will require longer timing belts and two additional Smooth Idler Wheel Kits.

Secrecy aside, the Obama administration is now resorting to blackmail and extortion to try to force European nations into signing the 'free trade' agreement known as the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
In a new report out on May 1, Greenpeace leaked out information to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung on how the White House is threatening to block European car imports if they don't come to the table and sign the agreement despite the massive protests by EU citizens against the TTIP.
The Obama administration has threatened to block all European car exports if they do not accept America's genetically-modified and hormone-enhanced produce.
On Sunday, German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung claimed that 240 pages of text from the secret transatlantic trade deal (TTIP) obtained by Greenpeace show the US to be blackmailing the EU to force through the trade deal, despite European objections.
Specifically, the United States threatened to block European car exports, in order to force the European Union to buy genetically engineered fruits and vegetables from the US – a move that opponents to the deal point out will compromise consumer health and negatively affect Europe's agricultural industry.
Greenpeace announced that it would release the smuggled text of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on Monday, undermining unusual efforts by the EU and US to keep the details secret. – Sputnik News
President Obama has become desperate in trying to rush through trade agreements which give the U.S. and corporations extraordinary power over global trade. And as China, Russia, and the BRICS continue to take away market share from the West through their own free trade agreements that allow for bi-lateral trade outside the dollar, these new leaks validate Obama's long-standing policy of economic warfare to 'twist the arms' of enemies and allies alike to force them into continuing to follow U.S. hegemony.
Rejection of U.S. domination is spawning up all across the world, and in particular in both Europe and the Middle East. And for leaders in the EU who want nothing more than to continue being vassals of Washington and globalist agendas, their very political lives are at stake since peoples all across Europe and demanding their governments reject the TTIP, no matter what extortion President Obama attempts to inflict upon them.

It's the holiday season and we're making sure that everyone is happy. The problem is, we're miserable doing so. What's the difference between caring for someone's happiness versus making it our responsibility?
As David Deida has said, "The way a man penetrates the world should be the same way he penetrates his woman: not merely for personal gain or pleasure, but to magnify love, openness, and depth.
Alana Louise May, "Conscious Cock"
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. – Ernest Hemingway
These act as daily reminders for me in my life, guideposts if you will and every action I take is now based out of these ideals. It becomes a daily meditation on the deeper meaning of being a man and how I make my way through the world.
Ultimately it's about honoring yourself & all others, and because we might be a bit unpracticed at some of these, we're going to be creating a discipline around putting these attributes in action. Later we'll talk about the Three Man Senses that every man must have a truly fulfilling life:
A Sense of Place
A Sense of Purpose AND
A Sense of Passion
Bro – It doesn't matter whether you wear tight pants, overalls or khakis, if you are determined to be the best version of you, superior to your former self – then ready to discover what YOUR version of Harmonized Manhood is.
Wikipedia says: "The anima and animus can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses or the masculine ones possessed by a woman, respectively. It is an archetype of the collective unconscious and not an aggregate of father or mother, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, or teachers, though these aspects of the personal unconscious can influence the person for good or ill."

The hardest part of Movember isn't growing, it's shaving. Until you put razor to face, your moustache has no shape. When you start sculpting, you'll need some style advice from the pros. Fortunately, we spoke to two leading members of the Chicago Beard Union, a "social club for facial hair enthusiasts," Ken Melvoin-Berg (left) and Jeremy Scheuch (right). Two moustachioed men from the land of Ditka certainly know wherefrom they speak.
1. Evaluate your situation
"The biggest deciding factor is how the hair actually grows," says Melvoin-Berg, who's known in Chicago as the Sultan of Soup Strainers. "Guys without a lot of hair need to go for moustaches closer to the lip line, where more hair tends to grow." Color and texture also play a part. Men fortunate enough to have thick, dark hair have a wider variety of options.
Of course, the moustache projects a bit of attitude as well. "I like the olds-school look of the handlebar moustache," says Scheuh. "It's a little more refined but still silly." While a thick, cop-like moustache projects an air of authority and commands respect, thinner moustaches shaved closer to the lip line have advantages of their own. Such as being mistaken for John Waters.
It takes a confident man to rock a moustache that thin.
2. Consider style and grooming
Your personal style influences what style of moustache looks good on you and grabs female attention. The standard Burt Reynolds-style is versatile, while the handlebar can be less so. Look at different styles and see how well they go with what you wear on a typical day. Men with a more retro style will find options like the English moustache or the pencil moustache more in sync with their look. Men with a more casual, contemporary style will prefer a more natural mo, like the chevron or what we like to call the Tom Selleck.
Another factor: men with longer moustaches need to groom and style the mo. "This is the biggest controversy among professional moustache growers," says Melvoin-Berg. Yes, apparently "professional moustache grower" is a real thing. Why didn't our guidance counselors ever tell us about that? Melvoin-Berg prefers Clubman brand wax, a product almost certainly used by one of your forefathers. The choice of wax is key even for the amateur grower. "You can smell your moustache and so can the woman you're kissing, so it had better smell good."
The choice of professionals…now available in oodles of colors!
3. Find role mo-dels
Don't be afraid to nick the style of your preferred moustachioed heroes, either. Every man has someone whose life, look and 'stache they envy. Scheuch is partial to Rollie Fingers, Salvador Dali, Freddie Mercury and Burt Reynolds. Melvoin-Berg admires Magnum PI, Robert Goulet and… Jeremy Scheuch.
When in doubt, look to friends with good 'staches. Not only can you knock off their style, you can also go to them for hints and tips on moustache grooming. Part of Movember is finding other men passionate about men's health and getting your wolf pack together. Together, you can rival the greatest moustaches ever grown. Good luck!
We pity him. It must have hurt to look that good.
Made Man is a proud partner of Movember. Last year, our company raised over $40,000 for the cause, thanks in large part to you. So grow a mo and click to join the Made Men Are Mo'ed Men team today!

Gender Discrimination: We Can Represent You In Litigation Or ADR
Davis & Davis, P.C., handles Massachusetts gender discrimination claims for both employees and employers. The firm is very experienced practicing before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination and the Massachusetts state courts, as well as alternative dispute resolution forums in Massachusetts. We are always ready to consult with employees or employers facing a gender discrimination lawsuit.
Today there are few employers who overtly distinguish between employees on the basis of gender. Most cases of gender discrimination must be proven using circumstantial evidence, to indirectly demonstrate the intentions of the employer or the effects of the employer's policies. Gender discrimination may appear in the workplace through sexual stereotyping, the implementation of dress codes or grooming codes or "sex-plus" policies.
"Sex-plus" discrimination is the practice of making decisions based on differentiations between employees within the same gender because of an additional "plus" characteristic. Examples include discriminatory practices affecting members of a gender on the basis of pregnancy, marital status, parenthood, appearance or other characteristics.
State law and federal law both prohibit gender discrimination.
- The Massachusetts Fair Employment Practices Act, contained in the Massachusetts General Laws, makes it illegal to discriminate on the basis of sex in the hiring, firing, compensation or other terms or conditions of employment. G.L. c. 151B, §4(1).
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is similar to Massachusetts law. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e.
Massachusetts and the federal government have also enacted equal pay acts which offer protection in addition to the laws prohibiting gender discrimination generally. 29 U.S.C. §§ 206(d), 216; G.L. c. 149, §105A. Each of these laws has different requirements which a plaintiff must meet to establish a valid claim, but they share a common purpose.
Contact our Boston Gender Discrimination Attorney Whether You Are An Employee Or Employer
As a law firm that represents both the sides, we know how to effectively resolve discrimination claims. Call our law firm in North Reading at 978-276-9051 to schedule a meeting with an attorney. You may also mail us your information, and a lawyer will contact you.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kirk turned down the rhetoric today on Democratic-backed plans to use the largely vacant Thomson Correctional Center to house suspected terrorist detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying he wants a "dispassionate and specific" discussion of the issue.
"The key point is, is this a necessary risk?" asked Kirk, a five-term congressman from the North Shore. "And in my judgment, it's not a necessary risk. But then I'm practical."

With Gov. Bob Graham proclaiming March as ``Living Well in Florida Month,`` local hospitals are offering programs to help Floridians do exactly that.
``People are focusing more on preventative medicine instead of thinking that getting well is something they do after they get sick,`` said Alice Katz, a nurse practioner and director of employee health at North Broward Medical Center. ``We want to make a conscious effort to enhance people`s lifestyles.``
Dedicated to that goal are North Broward programs that emphasize early diagnosis of medical problems, nutrition and exercise. A booklet, What`s Doing? Living Well was distributed this month to all hospital employees.
Inside was information on heart disease, cancer symptoms, vitamins -- and on seat belts, in Katz`s opinion, one of the best preventative health measures.
Coupled with the ``Living Well`` month, in its fifth year, was the fact that March also is National Nutrition Month.
As part of the monthlong celebration, two lectures are being offered at North Broward during next week: ``Angina,`` 1 p.m. Monday, a lecture by Sindy Weiss, a representative for the Ciba pharmaceutical company; and ``Brain and Hypertension,`` 1 p.m. Friday, a lecture by Fred Mitchell, a representative for the Merck, Sharp and Dohme pharmaceutical company.
The lectures are free and open to the public. They are held in the classroom trailer at the center, 201 E. Sample Road, Pompano Beach.
At Imperial Point Medical Center, senior citizens will be receiving special attention during ``Living Well in Florida Month.``
Marianne Donnan, director of Imperial Point`s cardiac rehabilitation and human performance department, said the unit was sponsoring a Senior Fitness Week, beginning March 25.
All presentations run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The week`s schedule includes:
(BU) Monday: Physical fitness for seniors, with an emphasis on flexibility and walking. ``We instruct them on what type of shoes to wear and a proper walking gait,`` Donnan said.
