A Homebuyer’s Glossary: 13 Terms to Know
APR, FRM, PMI … what do they mean?
Have you ever thought your real estate agent and lender were speaking a foreign language? It’s a common feeling among first-time homebuyers, who might not be familiar with the terminology that goes along with the process—from getting a mortgage to closing on your new house.
Before you make an offer, brush up on the lingo with our homebuyer’s glossary.
A chart that lists all the payments you’ll make over the life of your loan, breaking down the portions of your payments that will go toward principal and interest along the way.
Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
A number that represents the total cost of a loan, factoring in the interest you’ll pay as well as all the fees associated with getting the loan.
Tip: APR is different from the interest rate, which doesn’t factor in fees and only calculates what your monthly mortgage payment will be.
The fees, taxes and other charges paid at the closing of a real estate transaction. These costs are separate from the down payment and purchase price, and include things like loan origination fees, credit report fees and attorney fees.
Tip: Closing costs usually add up to between 2% and 5% of the purchase price and are the responsibility of the buyer.
All your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. Lenders use this percentage to evaluate your ability to repay a loan—this ratio can help determine how much you’re approved to borrow.
Tip: Most lenders want your debt-to-income ratio to be at or below 45%.
Also known as a good faith deposit, this payment is made as a security deposit to show you’re serious about purchasing a home. Unlike a down payment, which is a promise to the lender, an earnest money deposit—typically around 1% to 3% of the sale price—is a promise to the home seller.
Tip: If you’re shopping in a competitive real estate market, an earnest money deposit of 5% may be necessary.
An account set up by the lender for the buyer to deposit money for taxes, insurance and other payments that need to be made over the life of your loan.
Tip: An escrow account ensures that property tax and homeowners insurance payments are paid on time, automatically, and helps homeowners avoid late fees or other penalties.
FRM Versus ARM
Fixed rate mortgage (FRM): A home loan with an interest rate that stays the same—keeping your payment similar throughout the life of the loan.
Adjustable rate mortgage (ARM): A home loan with an interest rate that is adjusted periodically—meaning the interest rate, and therefore your payments, could increase or decrease.
Loan Origination Fee
Money paid to the lender as compensation for processing a loan application. It covers the preparation of documents, credit checks, inspection and appraisal of the property.
Tip: The amount of the loan origination fee is usually stated as a percentage of the loan—typically 0.5% to 1% of the loan amount.
Also called a discount point, it equals one percent of the dollar amount of the mortgage loan. Paying points directly to the lender at closing—called buying down the rate—is one way to lower the interest rate on the loan.
Tip: One-eighth of a point, or 0.125% of the loan amount, is usually the smallest increment that can be bought.
Principal Versus Interest
Principal: The amount of money the lender is loaning you.
Interest: The fee you pay to the lender for borrowing that money.
Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)
An insurance policy written by a private company that protects the lender if you stop making payments and go into foreclosure. The cost is usually added to your monthly mortgage payment.
Tip: If your down payment is less than 20% of the purchase price, you’re legally required to have PMI.

CHANDIGARH: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI
) has suffered a revenue loss of over Rs 2,731 crore from non-operational toll plazas across Punjab, Haryana
due to the ongoing farmers’ protest since October last year.
Haryana has suffered the highest revenue loss amounting to over Rs 1,319 crore followed by Punjab (Rs 1,269 crore) and Rajasthan (Rs 142 crore). Nearly 65 national highway toll plazas were affected due to farmers’ agitation across all three states. This information was shared by Union minister of road, transport and highways Nitin Gadkari
in the Rajya Sabha
on Wednesday during the ongoing winter session of the Parliament. His response came to a question by BJP’s Rajya Sabha member from UP Anil Agarwal.
Gadkari said the farmers’ protest had started affecting toll collection from October last year as the toll plazas in Punjab were made non-operational by agitating farmers initially in October last year. The agitation against the now repealed three central farm laws eventually spread to neighbouring states of Haryana and parts of Rajasthan.
The Union minister added that his ministry as well as the NHAI continued to make their best efforts to operationalise the affected toll plazas through active communication with the state government to help out the toll collection agency. He said state governments in Punjab and Haryana had assured to render full cooperation for resumption of toll collection at the affected toll plaza in their respective states. However, toll operations could not be started. Gadkari said the NHAI invited bids for 14 non-operational fee plazas in Rajasthan based on assurance from local administration and two toll plazas were awarded on September 3 and 7 this year, but these toll plazas also could not be operated due to the farmers’ protest.
“In case the protest is called off by protesting farmers without prior information, NHAI, as an exigency plan, has directed its regional offices to mobilise skilled/semiskilled manpower instantly and operationalize the fee plazas till agency is appointed to avoid any revenue loss,” added Gadkari.

1. Human Gut Microbiome
2. Genome Editing
3. Cargo DNA Delivery
4. High-Throughput Techniques
5. Commensal Gut Bacteria Engineering
The human gut microbiome, teeming with a myriad of bacterial species, plays an instrumental role in maintaining our health. Influencing critical processes such as metabolism, digestion, and immunity, the gut microbiome is akin to a bustling metropolis within our bodies. Leveraging genome engineering tools could unlock unprecedented ways to manipulate and enhance this complex ecosystem for the betterment of human health. The research paper authored by Zheng Linggang, Shen Juntao, Chen Ruiyue, Hu Yucan, Zhao Wei, Leung Elaine Lai-Han, and Dai Lei, published on January 13, 2024, in the “Journal of Genetics and Genomics,” represents a significant stride in synthesizing and disseminating knowledge in this field. This comprehensive review (DOI: 10.1016/j.jgg.2024.01.002) delves into the latest advancements and impasses in the domain of genome engineering of the human gut microbiome.
The Significance of the Human Gut Microbiome
It’s become evident that our gut harbors a complex community of microbes that are integral to our health. The symbiotic relationships these microorganisms have with our body allow for a myriad of health-related processes, such as aiding in the digestion of foods that are otherwise indigestible, producing vitamins, and even protecting against pathogens.
Advances in Genome Engineering of Human Gut Commensal Bacteria
The review by Zheng Linggang et al. encapsulates the current status of genome engineering, which includes a variety of methods that can add, remove, or alter genetic material within these bacteria. This can be done both in vitro – in a controlled lab environment, and in situ – within a live organism, in this case, the human gut. The paper highlights the promise these techniques hold in potentially correcting dysbiosis, the imbalance of gut flora linked to numerous health issues, from autoimmune diseases to mental health disorders.
1. Cargo DNA Delivery:
A salient challenge in genome engineering is the delivery of “cargo” – the genetic material intended for insertion into the bacterial genome. The authors discuss novel methods that improve upon traditional techniques such as viral vectors or electroporation. One example is the usage of nanomaterials which can protect DNA from degradation and efficiently deliver genes to specific types of cells.
2. High-Throughput Genome Engineering:
In the genetics context, high-throughput refers to technologies that allow for the automation and simultaneous processing of large volumes of genetic data or samples. The review emphasizes the importance of high-throughput techniques that enable the rapid screening and modification of multiple bacterial strains. This is crucial when working with the gut microbiome, due to its immense diversity.
Challenges in Genome Engineering
Despite significant progress, numerous challenges hinder the seamless application of genome engineering in the human gut microbiome.
Complexity in Ecology:
One of the primary challenges is the sheer complexity of the gut ecosystem. Each individual harbors a unique microbiome composition, influenced by factors such as diet, environment, and genetics. Tailoring genome engineering interventions requires a detailed understanding of this diversity and the interactions between different microbial species.
Ethical and Safety Concerns:
The potential for off-target effects, where genetic changes occur in unintended organisms or at unintended sites, poses safety concerns. There’s also a need to consider the ethical implications of altering the human microbiome, which may have unforeseen long-term effects.
The Potential of Genome Engineering in Health Enhancement
The review identifies several ways that genome engineering can be harnessed to improve human health. By understanding the genetic basis of beneficial traits in gut microbes, scientists could engineer bacteria to produce therapeutic compounds or decompose harmful substances. This could lead to promising treatments for diseases like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, and even some forms of cancer.
“Genome engineering of the human gut microbiome” is a robust review that explores the innovative frontier of manipulating the microbiota within our guts. The authors, with their extensive expertise, have laid out the bright prospects and formidable challenges of this field. The potential in this domain of genetics cannot be underestimated; it’s a gateway to revolutionizing the way we approach treatments for innumerable conditions linked to our gut health.

Daniela da Silva is feeling good. Lying cocooned under fleece blankets inside a medical scanner, her eyes are closed and her mind is focused and remarkably unperturbed by negative thoughts. Three hours earlier, the 39-year-old yoga teacher and neuroscience student was given a dose of the stimulant drug dextroamphetamine, which is often used to treat ADHD. “I’m having a serotonin increase. Oh definitely,” she predicts before entering the PET scanner.
Da Silva is a healthy volunteer in a trial using a pioneering brain imaging technique designed to measure serotonin changes in the brains of living people. Last year, scientists used the scan to obtain what they claimed to be the first direct evidence that serotonin release is blunted in the brains of people with depression. The findings added fuel to a fiercely fought debate over the role of the brain chemical – if any – in depression. Just months earlier, a high-profile scientific review caused a stir when it reached the opposite conclusion that “after a vast amount of research, conducted over several decades, there is no convincing evidence” for the idea that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

This study was designed to quantitatively investigate the economy-wide impact of land reform policies in Zimbabwe. Land reforms came with the realm of independence in Zimbabwe. Four models were used to implement the reform policies. The paper uses the updated 1991 Social Accounting Matrix for Zimbabwe and the Central Statistics Office's household data on resettled families in Zimbabwe. The paper computes the sectoral SAM multipliers and then uses household data on resettled families to simulate the impact of specific land reform models on the economy. The simulated results show that land reform, if well planned and systematically and carefully implemented, could generate economy-wide benefits for Zimbabwe and could lead to income redistribution in favour of low-income household groups, while maintaining an increase in households' aggregate income.

The Army Corps of Engineers has known for decades that its continual efforts to deepen the Mississippi River for bigger ships would eventually trigger the saltwater crisis that has now gripped the New Orleans area for weeks.
“This is certainly something that everybody knew was going to happen,” said Cecil Soileau, a retired Corps engineer who warned in a 1990 report that dredging the lower river would threaten the region’s drinking water.
That report, written with two other Corps engineers, said “a substantial body of historical evidence pointed to channel deepening as the major cause of increases in frequency and duration of saltwater intrusion events.”
While drought in the Midwest has drastically cut downriver flows this year, dredging to make way for larger cargo ships was the key to bringing the Gulf of Mexico’s salty water to New Orleans’ doorstep, said Soileau, who was chief of the hydrology and hydraulics branch of the Corps’ New Orleans division before he retired in 1993.
“We have droughts every 20 or 30 years,” he said. “We had them in 1930s, 1953, 1988. But it didn’t seem to bother us before Southwest Pass was deepened. Now it takes a lot more fresh water to keep the salt water from coming in.”
Had the lower river not been deepened to 55 feet in recent years, the salt water likely would have halted near Alliance, about 20 miles downriver from New Orleans, Soileau said.
The Corps has repeatedly acknowledged that channel deepening exacerbates saltwater intrusion, but agency officials have stressed in recent weeks that the current crisis is more an act of God than man.
“Saltwater intrusion in the Mississippi River during extreme low water has been a naturally occurring phenomenon since before the deepening of the river,” Corps spokesperson Ricky Boyett said.

It’s Never Been Easier To Make Money Promoting An App!
Yes, we’ re going to give you real money, not credits you may never use.
Pronto will pay you a 10% referral fee on all deliveries your referrals place for the next 6 months. That can turn into some serious bank!
Share Pronto with your social network. If a person spends $100 a month on deliveries, we send you a check for $10. (10% of the $100).
Now, if 100 people in your network spend that, then you're looking at an extra $1000/month. It can add up very fast.
The 6 month clock starts when they place their first order. You will receive a check every month when the amount is over $100. If it’s under $100 we will wait until it accumulates to $100 and send it out.
What’s the catch?
The order must come through the app.
The order must be validated through a final credit card payment.
If someone uses their $10.00 promo on their first order, you’re not getting 10% on the free credit. Only on billable delivery transactions.
The referral fee is based on the delivery service before tax, not on any goods purchased on clients behalf.


The call comes after the recent disciplinary case in which Sir Alex Ferguson was given a four-match touchline ban (two of which were suspended) and a £20,000 fine for improper conduct. This followed a personal attack on the fitness of referee Alan Wiley.
While recognising that the FA Commission of Inquiry has made a final decision on the punishment in this case, Prospect has called for stronger action if there are similar unsubstantiated personal attacks on referees in future.
National Secretary, Alan Leighton said: “Unwarranted and untrue attacks on referees damage the hard-earned reputation of our members, call into question their integrity and damage the image of the game by suggesting that the referees are incapable of doing their job.
"Referees understand and accept that their decisions will be questioned, but personal attacks are unacceptable.”
Prospect is calling for clear guidelines to be drawn up for managers and for it to be made clear that breaches will be severely punished.
Such punishment should include a UEFA-style stadium ban in which the manager is isolated from the team for a period before, during and after the match for a number of games.
Leighton emphasised that unwarranted public attacks from managers could easily lead to a loss of confidence by clubs in the referee, which could lead to the loss of the referee’s job.
Furthermore personal attacks damage the respect that referees need and deserve and make it more difficult to attract new referees to the game.
Prospect has told the FA that if more severe penalties are not forthcoming it may well be the case that a referee decides to take a case for defamation in order to protect their reputation.
Leighton said however: “It would almost certainly be the death knell for the career of any referee who took a defamation case against a manager as their position could be compromised.
"Given that recourse to the law is not a realistic proposition for an official who wishes to continue to referee it is even more imperative that the FA is prepared to administer severe disciplinary penalties where managers make untrue personal attacks on officials.”
Leighton also confirmed that Alan Wiley would not be pursuing a case for defamation against Sir Alex Ferguson.
Wiley said: “Although I was bitterly disappointed about the personal attack on me I want to put this behind me and continue to concentrate on my refereeing.”
Leighton added: “Prospect adopted a policy when we started representing referees four years ago that we would not make public comment on every criticism made by ex-referees or managers.
“The seriousness of the recent attack forced the union to depart from that policy. We will, however, continue to defend members where their professionalism is publicly questioned.”

Inequality, Credit Market Imperfection, Segmentation and Economic Growth
This paper investigates how initial inequality can causally affect economic growth when moral hazard problems exist in credit markets.Two regimes of the credit markets aiming at overcoming the moral hazard problems are analyzed.The formal one such as bank relies on intermediary between borrowers and lenders by asking for collateral.The informal one relies on direct yet costly monitoring by the lenders themselves.However, from the social point of view both of them are unfavorable to certain segments of the agents in this heterogenous economy in terms of whether the individual potential productivity could be fully realized. Consequently, the permission of the coexistence of these two regimes could be growth enhancing.The dynamic rise and fall of the formal and informal regimes are implied along the growth process of per capita income.In the empirical part, the negative relationship between initial inequality and long run growth is discovered, using cross-province data in rural China rather than more often used cross-country data sets in literature.Interestingly, the policy dummy variable telling the permission or forbidding of the informal regime presents a positive sign.Both of these two results support our theoretical model empirically. Finally, we argue that this channel to bridge inequality and economic growth is more rural specific.

Model Risk Management (MRM)
Model Risk Management (MRM) is the active management of adverse consequences that can occur from decisions based on the misuse or malfunction of models.
Model Risk Management was outlined in 2011 by the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller in the Supervisory Guidance on Model Risk Management (SR 11-7). This regulatory standard remains the standard guideline for MRM today.
While MRM is a regulatory requirement, its value extends far beyond compliance. The consequences of incorrect model usage or defective models can be detrimental to banks and their clients. Financial losses in the billions have occurred as a result.
Effective model risk management starts with building a solid governance framework that outlines how model risks will be managed throughout the model development and validation processes.
Model Risk Governance
Each firm needs to have an MRM framework in place – set of policies, procedures, and defined roles that formalize MRM implementation. A vigorous model governance framework should provide support and structure for model risk management.
This framework should be governed by the board of directors and senior management to assess the effectiveness and ensure that risk is within their level of tolerance.
Model risk management begins with sound model development and implementation that are consistent with the goals of the end user and bank policy. Each piece of the development process must be documented thoroughly, including the statement of purpose, design, theory, logic, and methodologies.
Prior to implementation, data must undergo quality assessments, and the model components must be tested for accuracy, stability, limitations, and behavior across varying inputs.
Model validation should verify that models are performing as expected, in line with their objectives and uses. It should also identify potential limitations and their potential impact. Validation should be completed by people who are not involved with the development of the model.
Initial validation is completed before a model is implemented. During this process, validators should verify data and ensure there are controls in place to manage issues with data quality. The model should go through rigorous testing and benchmarking to check performance over a range of inputs and observe the effect of changing assumptions.
A key component of validation is the ongoing monitoring of models once they are implemented. Ongoing monitoring ensures that a model is performing as intended. By continuously tracking models, you can evaluate whether different activities and exposures require model changes or redevelopments.
Model Risk Management is a complex, time-consuming function that is critical to preventing severe consequences of model misuse and malfunction. At Evalueserve, we have experts who have decades of experience in risk and top-of-the-line technology that can elevate your MRM function.

However, after a long recess and the Utility Committee meeting, Commissoner Edie Yates asked for additional discussion on the issue. The commissioners then voted to approve the hookah bar.
The vote reversal hinged on an additional condition the commissioners set on the bar. The original ordinance did not address the ages of those allowed in the bar. During the second discussion, the commissioners agreed to set the condition that the bar ban entrance to those under 21.
Though the commission was voting on beer and wine being served, the subject of smoking became the centerpiece of discussion and public comment. City code does not give the commissioners the option to ban smoking establishments or to set smoking rules on a business. Such laws as to smoking in bars and restaurants are set by the state.
To open the hookah lounge without serving wine and beer, owner Soloman Wassef needed only a building permit. Commissioners Gow Fields and Justin Troller reminded the other commissioners of that fact. However, after what one citizen called “am emotionally charged anti-smoking” discussion, commissioners Howard Wiggs, Glenn Higgens, and Edie Yates joined Mayor Buddy Fletcher to vote against the conditional use permit to allow beer and wine sales.
Due to the need to revisit city business after the Utility Committee meeting, commissioners simply recessed the morning City Commission meeting. That made it easy under parliamentary procedures to offer an additional condition and re-vote on the permit. The second round was conducted without the larger audience of the morning session, and without the involvement of Mayor Fletcher and Commissioner Wiggs. The two had other appointments at the time of the second vote.
A short discussion and explanation of the scope of the commission’s powers from City Attorney Tim McCausland, led to the re-vote. With commissioners Yates and Higgens changing their votes, the remaining five commissioners voted unanimously approve the re-worded conditional use ordinance.
Anne Furr, executive director of Lakeland Downtown Development Authority, commented after the second vote that the LDDA had supported the hookah lounge as a downtown business, “Let the market decide if it is a good business.” She added that the hookah business concept was popular with the college age crowd and was offered as a business they would frequent, “We’re looking for things to keep young people in Lakeland.”
If you missed the commission meeting, you can find it online at LakelandGov.Net’s City Commission Meetings page. Look for the meeting entitled “City Commission Meeting 2009-12-21”
The second vote is included on the Utility Committee Meeting page. Look for the video entitled “Utility Committee Meeting 2009-12-21.” Jump to approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes into the video to see the discussion and re-vote.

Letter: We kill without getting blood on soldier's hands
Editor: If the high priests of war have finished their techno-babble show of new products, is it not marvelous how adept our society has become at killing? So sanitized with push-button accuracy, nary a drop of blood ruins the elegant apparel and uniforms!
Perspective: Body bags, Iraq style

Welcome to the results show. Before we get down to business, please join me in thanking this week’s judge, Karl A. Russell, for sorting it all out. Here’s what he thought:
Hey, you hip and happening cats! I have cast my sweet peepers over your words and now I’m ready to lay some truth on you all.
Blowing Smoke by Bill Engleson
Jazz is the soundtrack of choice for the film noir, the hard-bitten gumshoe its eternal anti-hero. Here we get an intriguing glimpse into a noir tale – how did he come by that scar? – before crashing headlong into a modern world of corner boys and dead ends.
Equinoxically Yours by F. E. Clark
A mixture of heady scents and evocative images, rhythmic and startling. Read this one aloud to truly appreciate it, preferably in a basement cafe while wearing a black turtleneck sweater.
Signed, Sealed, Awaiting Delivery by David Shakes
I’m a sucker for a good soul-selling tale, but too often in flash, the urge is to throw in a twist ending. Here we get a nice change, trading on the inevitable outcome of such a deal to make great use of the closing bookend, and the trick with the last / first word of most of the paragraphs was neat too.
Generation 1 by Brian S. Creek
I was never a fan of Transformers, but otherwise, I recognise everything in this piece – the need, the rationalisation, the attempts to bully yourself into growing up – and I’d bet good money that there’s an element of autobiography in here. I’d also bet that he went ahead and bought it anyway…
Scott Free by Bill Engleson
This came closest to the free-flowing improvisation of great jazz, with a slightly unusual format that catches the eye, made up of words to captivate the ear and a seemingly random association of discordant phrases and images that create something that’s part poem, part story and more than either combined.
Mother Knows Bert by Ed Broom
Miles Davis famously said that jazz is as much about the notes you aren’t playing. Fittingly, this week’s winner is all about the words that aren’t being written. The auto-corrected text is a delight, and a wonderfully original way to incorporate the bookends without having to actually use them in the story at all.
Mother Knows Bert
Mum’s right, of course, in her own unpredictable Nokia text speak. Lazy bones is exactly what I am. I should have popped round today to say hello and to talk about Col’s birthday. Unlucky lad had his Raleigh nicked last week and she wants me to find him a replacement on eBay.
THIS BILE. WHAT SHOULD I SAX?
Pay what you like, Mum. This 18 speed hybrid looks good, though. Auction ends later tonight and the current price is £40. I think it would be a steal at twice that.
OK. NAY 100 POUND. INCREASE MY AGE.

Mihaela disappears during her mobility UNITA journey! Where is she? The students attending the summer school “Intercomprehension in Roman Languages” at UPPA were invited to solve the mystery.
Active learning methods at the heart of UNITA
Game-based learning is booming. UNITA summer schools provide a special opportunity for recreational activities, giving the possibility to learn while having fun. The students who came to Pau in order to practice intercomprehension in Roman languages were able to test their skills in a playful way.
A few words on the making of “Dov’è Mihalea”
The team in charge was composed by two teachers coordinating the summer school, Françoise Hapel and Géraldine Lesparre, and by two instructional designers, Sandra Lalanne and Clara Guilloteau. The teachers defined first the theme, the learning prerequisites and outcomes, and also the logistic details, etc. Then, the instructional designers worked on the making of a serious digital form game. They have chosen to work on Genially, which is an interactive and collaborative platform to create contents like animated presentations. It was particularly useful to create a serious game inspired by realistic scenarios from physical escape games (https://scape.enepe.fr/scapade.html).
Students were enchanted by the idea!
The teaching team split the participants into groups of three to four students speaking different mother languages to develop intercomprehension strategies.
Associating interactive elements, hidden messages, intercomprehension in roman languages, the students had thirty minutes to solve the mystery. The winner group succeeded finding Mihaela in no more than eighteen minutes! It was awarded with a great prize (delicious chocolates)! By the end, there was a debriefing phase to collect the players’opinions thanks to Wooclap, a survey and quizz tool. The teaching team was able to point out some elements to debate on the strategies used and to highlight the fact that a game can be used to complete learning outcomes.
Collection of the players’ opinions
The experience was a success in the opinion of all! This activity could be implemented to inspire new challenges and expand the UNITA actions.
Written by Clara Guilloteau

The Cook County Department of Health has confirmed that 97 people have been stricken with a gastrointestinal illness after eating at Bob Chinn’s Crab House in Wheeling, Illinois. It is being reported that the numbers of ill persons are likely to increase, “because of the popularity of the restaurant and the volume of people that go through it” according to health department spokeswoman Amy Poore said.
The pathogen causing the illnesses is not known at this time, and test results are still pending. The restaurant is already re-opened after being shut down on Tuesday.
The Daily-Herald report states:
Restaurant general manager Deno Roumanidakis said he closed the eatery voluntarily after receiving calls Monday from a couple of patrons complaining they felt ill after eating at the restaurant, 393 S. Milwaukee Ave.

Comfort and quality
Sony MDR XD100
Member Name: Marla_S
Sony MDR XD100
Advantages: great sound, blocks background noise, resistant, comfortable, long wire, removable jack
Disadvantages: not the nicest design, long wire, hard to transport
I bought the Sony headphones, after using smaller and lower quality headphones for a long time, and boy could I really feel the difference! The Sony headphones are astounding - they're extremely comfortable to wear and adjust easily - and the sound they deliver it's amazing.
Because of their large design, they block any other sound in the room and you can really hear the music throughoutly and clearly. They're perfect for listening to music and I believe even the best of it would sound fantastic in these headphones, but also watching movies works great with them.
The wire they come with is very long, and this can be very good in some cases (and for some people) but for me it's a little annoying, as it always gets caught in my chair etc. They also don't have a microphone and can only be used as headphones.
I didn't get around traveling with them, but I think I'd go for a lighter choice, as they're quite big and they would take up some space - also, I'd be a little scared not to break them, even if they're highly resistant.
I can guarantee they're very well made, as I dropped them countless times and they still work as good as new, so kudos for the accident-proof case, they don't even have a scratch. I've had the headphones for more than 6 months new and they look and function as well as new. Great product.
Summary: Great quality product that I'd recommend to any music lover

In the 1830s, half a century before the better-known mass movements for workers' rights in the United States, the Lowell mill women organized, went on strike and mobilized in politics when women couldn't even vote—and created the first union of working women in American history.
The Lowell, Mass., textile mills where they worked were widely admired. But for the young women from around New England who made the mills run, they were a living hell. A mill worker named Amelia—we don't know her full name—wrote that mill girls worked an average of nearly 13 hours a day. It was worse than "the poor peasant of Ireland or the Russian serf who labors from sun to sun." Lucy Larcom started as a doffer of bobbins when she was only 12 and "hated the confinement, noise, and lint-filled air, and regretted the time lost to education," according to one historian.
In 1834, when their bosses decided to cut their wages, the mill girls had enough: They organized and fought back. The mill girls "turned out"—in other words, went on strike—to protest. They marched to several mills to encourage others to join them, gathered at an outdoor rally and signed a petition saying, "We will not go back into the mills to work unless our wages are continued."
No one had ever seen anything like this. But if the mill girls were exuberant, managers and owners were horrified. "An amizonian [sic] display," one fumed. "A spirit of evil omen has prevailed." And they determined to crack down on the mill girls.
A showdown came and the bosses won. Management had enough power and resources to crush the strike. Within a week, the mills were operating nearly at full capacity. A second strike in 1836—also sparked by wage cuts—was better organized and made a bigger dent in the mills' operation. But in the end, the results were the same.
Those were hard defeats, but the mill girls refused to give up. In the 1840s, they shifted to a different strategy: political action. They organized the Lowell Female Labor Reform Association to press for reducing the workday to 10 hours. Women couldn't vote in Massachusetts or anywhere else in the country, but that didn't stop the mill girls. They organized huge petition campaigns—2,000 signers on an 1845 petition and more than double that on a petition the following year—asking the Massachusetts state legislature to cap the work day in the mills at 10 hours.
They didn't stop there. They organized chapters in other mill towns in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. They published "Factory Tracts" to expose the wretched conditions in the mills. They testified before a state legislative committee.
What's more, they campaigned against a state representative who was one of their strongest opponents and handily defeated him.
So what did the Lowell mill girls really win? In the short term, not much. That's how it often is with the first pioneers in social justice movements. Both of their strikes were crushed. And the only victory they won in their 10-hour workday campaign was pretty hollow. In 1847, New Hampshire became the first state to pass a 10-hour workday law—but it wasn't enforceable.
That was in the short term. But in the long term, the Lowell mill girls started something that transformed this country. No one told them how to do it. But they showed that working women didn't have to put up with injustice in the workplace. They got fed up, joined together, supported each other and fought for what they knew was right.
One of the mill girls put it this way: "They have at last learnt the lesson which a bitter experience teaches, not to those who style themselves their 'natural protectors' are they to look for the needful help, but to the strong and resolute of their own sex."
Today, millions of women in unions who teach our kids, fight our fires, build our homes and nurse us back to health owe a debt to the Lowell mill girls. They taught America a powerful lesson about ordinary women doing extraordinary things.

A huge protest against corruption in Iraq turned violent on Saturday.
Demonstrators demanding electoral reform tried to force their way into Baghdad’s heavily-fortified Green Zone, which houses government offices and embassies.
As well as tear gas, rubber bullets were reportedly fired by security forces in clashes that left several people injured and at least one police officer dead.
“We demand a change of government,” said one protester, Ali al-Saddi.
Footage shows demonstrators fleeing the scene.

Abandoned Dog Tied To A Telegraph Pole Shot By Police
24 January 2018, 09:39 | Updated: 24 January 2018, 09:40
An elderly, abandoned dog which was found tied to a telegraph pole in the cold has been shot dead by police
Cleveland Police launched an appeal to find the owner of the German Shepherd, which officers described as "increasingly aggressive as time went on", after it was discovered in Hartlepool over the weekend.
A spokesperson for the force said: "All attempts to calm the dog failed. Vets advised that they were unable to sedate the dog due to not being able to approach it and not having equipment to sedate from a distance.
"Unfortunately, veterinary professionals advised that the dog could not be re-homed due to its aggressive behaviour."
A spokesman for the RSPCA told The Independent: “This was a difficult and distressing police-led incident with an outcome which no one wanted. We attended to help the police and dog warden and sought independent vet advice to try and find a non-lethal solution.
“The dog had been seen by someone from another charity and there was concern that if the dog escaped she could have hurt someone. The police informed us that using a tranquilliser dart on the dog was not an option.
“The RSPCA believes that abandoning any dog is totally unacceptable and in this case had tragic consequences."
