Technical Observations: The patina is dark green with lighter green spots. Dark brown accretions and raised corrosion products are present. The shiny mirror surface at the convex side is preserved over about one-tenth of its area. A 1-cm crack is present near the top edge.
The thin, relatively planar shape of the mirror could point to its having been formed by hammering rather than the more complex procedure of bronze casting. There is a slight bevel at the edge of the shiny side, and the edge itself has been thickened slightly by hammering it toward the center. The concave side shows strong vertical scrape marks under the accretions and raised corrosion. Areas here are sometimes shiny, but the relief of the scrape marks makes it less likely that this side served as a mirror. The very fine striations and chatter marks in each scrape mark show a remarkable degree of surface preservation on this side. There are several rough-filed grooves near the tip of the handle, which appear to be the only form of decoration.

This mirror is fairly thin, with a very slight curve in section. The edges of the mirror are also very thin and have been worked, with a slight groove around the circumference. The terminal of the handle or tang is carved, perhaps to represent a stylized animal; it is slightly concave on one side. The mirror is otherwise undecorated (1).
There are ten Etruscan bronze mirrors in the collection of the Harvard Art Museums, ranging in date from the early fifth century to the mid second century BCE. All the mirrors bear engraved designs, and the more elaborately decorated medallions contain scenes involving human or divine figures. Identifiable subjects include a seated Hermes and Lasa (1932.56.38), as well as two young men wearing short chitons and Phrygian caps on 1932.56.37, who may be the Dioskouroi (2). The subjects depicted on other mirrors are more difficult to identify with certainty. One such example is a scene depicting two young men flanking two women, one of whom is nude, in front of an architectural structure (1977.216.1995.A-B); it has been suggested that the figures may be Helen, Clytemnestra, and the Dioskouroi (3). Another scene, less well preserved, shows a figure wearing a peplos and helmet flanked on the left by a man in a short tunic and boots, and on the right by an unidentified woman wearing a peplos and Phrygian cap (1977.216.2311). The central figure is most likely Athena (Etruscan Menrva), and while the figure on the left leans on a club similar to the one often carried by Herakles, it is unusual for that hero to be shown clothed (4). The three stand before a two-story Ionic structure.
Two mirrors in the collection show signs of an interesting afterlife. The disc of 1977.216.2311 has been perforated in ten places, probably as a means of ensuring that the object would be useless to the living and could be permanently dedicated to the deceased; a less plausible suggestion is that the mirror was reused as a strainer (5). Another mirror in the collection (1977.216.3422), if it is ancient, seems to have been reworked in modern times by an engraver who added to the medallion a female bust, a recumbent male, and an inscription. Neither the style nor the subject of the engraving corresponds to examples known from other Etruscan mirrors, and both the engraving and the inscription appear to have been made with a modern instrument (6).

As more people look to have control over how their food is grown, many are planting gardens for the first time. And some are even turning their backyards into chicken coops. It’s the time of year when hardware stores and agricultural supply companies share space among the lawnmowers and grass seed with live baby chickens.
Some venues offer informational seminars to help customers get started. On a recent Thursday night at a Cedar Falls farm store, Cargill animal nutrition specialist Jodi Holmes said people came with a lot of questions.
“How much space do I need, how much feed will I go through, do I need a rooster to get eggs?” she says.
Hobby farmer Janeece Downs from nearby Denver says she and her husband just needed a quick refresher, since they’ve raised chickens in the past.
“We want it for the healthy eggs, for chores for the kids to do," Downs says. "I grew up on a farm and we had chickens and other birds and animals. I had a blast spending hours catching them and playing with them. It was a good time.”
The rookies are here, too. Paul Keller and his family raise organic vegetables near Janesville. He says they spent a good deal of time doing research before deciding to add poultry to the mix.
"We did a lot reading and a lot of video," he says. "We just got our chicks and we’re setting up the hen house. We make to make sure we’re doing it right and don’t have any major mistakes."
Animal specialist Holmes admits sometimes finding out what it takes to be a backyard farmer is enough to curb the enthusiasm. She remembers a recent customer who learned she would need a brooder and a heat lamp, in addition to items for feeding and watering the chicks. She decided not to pursue the hobby.
“That’s ok because that’s where the education part of these seminars comes in," Holmes says. "Because if you get into it and lose a whole batch of chicks, it’s frustrating and people will likely never do it again.”
Iowa had a costly brush with avian flu last spring which killed millions of the state’s chickens.
Holmes says now there’s extra attention being placed on bio security, and that has resulted in a number of additional safety steps.
"That's making sure they’re washing their hands and their tools, not sharing between their farm and their neighbor’s farm, quarantining new birds until they’re proven healthy before they’re introduced to the existing flock,” she says.
Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey says while most of the bird flu was confined to large commercial flocks it would be foolish not to be vigilant about what’s going on in our backyard.
"Watch those chicks and make sure they’re healthy and if they’re not, we want you to report to us or the local veterinarian a concern that they would have so we can test for avian influenza and control the spread of the disease,” he says.
Northey says these projects are small scale, not regulated by the state. Some are used for 4H and FFA exhibits. By the way, to answer the question at the beginning of the story about whether you need a rooster to get eggs, you don’t.

The term “righteous wind” used in Obama’s speech just isn’t heard every day, but a search found it in this quote from Chairman Mao:
“The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.” Coincidence?
We’re told that Barack Obama chose the obscure locale of Osawatomie, Kansas, for his recent domestic policy speech because it was the site of a seminal Teddy Roosevelt speech 101 years ago. This may very well be true. Through the distinctively named city of 4,500, Obama could make a symbolic connection with the man who once offered Americans a Hamiltonian conception of state power dubbed the “New Nationalism.” Yet, unbeknownst to virtually everyone, Obama is connected to “Osawatomie” through another man.
It’s a connection that’s odd and alarming — and at least a bit spooky.
I didn’t know about this connection when I wrote my recent article about the President’s communist ties. But just to provide some background, I pointed out how Obama claimed in Osawatomie that our relatively free market system not only “doesn’t work,” “it has never worked.” Furthermore, I mentioned the fact that the President has appointed avowed communists to his administration, that he was mentored by communist Frank Marshall Davis, that a contemporary of his at Occidental College said that Obama was a flat-out “Marxist-Leninist” during his time there, and that he has no known history of renouncing these views. More to the point here, however, I mentioned well-known Obama closet skeleton and self-proclaimed communist Bill Ayers, who, as you probably know, was a Weather Underground terrorist in the 1970s. Now, to get exactly to the point, I’d like you to take a gander at the following image and see what jumps out at you.
This was the official newsletter of the terroristic Weather Underground Organization; this particular issue sports a picture of Vietnamese Marxist-Leninist leader Ho Chi Minh on the cover. And, as you can see, the name of this communist publication is “Osawatomie.”
Just like the place where Obama decided to give a speech in which he cast doubt upon the merits of economic freedom.
Now, I’m not one to jump to conclusions. To paraphrase Confucius, “Wisdom is, when you know something, knowing that you know it; and when you do not know something, knowing that you do not know it.” It’s certainly possible that Obama is completely unaware of the Weathermen terrorist Osawatomie newsletter; this is, after all, the man who indicated that the U.S. had 58 states and didn’t even correct himself. And even if he does or did know about it, it is entirely possible that his choice of little Osawatomie could have been motivated by a desire to invoke Rough Rider Roosevelt and not recreant Reds. Yes… could have been.
But given Obama’s history, another possibility suggests itself to the open-minded.
Was there an extra layer of symbolism in his choice of speech venue, one of which only the “initiated” and those shouting in the wilderness would be aware?
Was the President sending a message to his long-time socialist allies?
“I’m still with you,” perhaps?
Is it akin to an inside joke?
Are the initiated laughing behind the backs of the gun-and-religion-clinging majority and everyone else who doesn’t “get it”?
Of course, some left-wingers will criticize anyone who raises such a possibility, just as they scored me for penning the article I linked to earlier. And this is one reason why prominent figures, be they media types or politicians, won’t dare mention that the emperor has red clothes. I mean, we just never could elect someone like that in America, could we?
Nah, it could never happen here.
And to suggest otherwise is to descend into paranoia at best or the politics of personal destruction at worst. Except, to quote liberal icon Daniel Patrick Moynihan, “You’re entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.” And it is a fact that the President of these United States has a history of making bedfellows of communists, most recently those he appointed to his administration.
If it matters that Newt Gingrich was unfaithful to his wives many years ago, it matters infinitely more that Barack Obama has been unfaithful to freedom and the American spirit by continuing, to this very day, his affair with a tyrannical, malevolent force that leaves nothing but the ruin of man in its wake.

2. INTEREST RATE. Interest shall be charged on the outstanding principal balance of the Note from the date hereof at the rate of 12.00% per annum.
3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Commencing on September 6, 2020 and continuing on the same day of each and every calendar month thereafter, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only. The entire unpaid principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on August 5, 2021 (“Maturity Date”).
4. PREPAYMENT. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole, but not in part, at any time. Any prepayment prior to February 6, 2021 shall be accompanied by prepayment compensation in the amount of equal to the difference between $60,000.00 and the amount of interest Borrower has paid to Lender up to the time of prepayment. There is no prepayment compensation due to Lender for any prepayment made after February 6, 2021. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no prepayment compensation obligation of Borrower to Lender in the event of prepayment resulting from the sale of the real property encumbered by the mortgage securing this Note to a bona fide third party purchaser.
5. DEFAULT RATE. In addition to all other rights contained in this Note, if a Default (as defined herein) occurs and as long as a Default continues, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the rate of 18% per annum (“Default Rate”). The Default Rate shall also apply from acceleration until the Obligations or any judgment thereon is paid in full.
6. INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.
7. PAYMENTS. If any payment received by Lender under this Note or other Loan Documents is rescinded, avoided or for any reason returned by Lender because of any adverse claim or threatened action, the returned payment shall remain payable as an obligation of Borrower under this Note and other Loan Documents as though such payment had not been made.
8. DEFINITIONS. The term “Loan Documents”, as used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, refers to this Note and any and all other documents executed in connection with or related to the loan evidenced by this Note, including but not limited to that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith from Borrower in favor of Lender, together with any and all renewals or modifications, whenever any of the foregoing are executed. The term “Obligations”, as used in this Note and the other Loan Documents, refers to any and all indebtedness and other obligations under this Note, all other obligations under any other Loan Documents. All terms that are used but not otherwise defined in any of the Loan Documents shall have the definitions provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.
9. LATE CHARGE. If any payments are not timely made, Borrower shall also pay to Lender a late charge equal to 5% of each payment past due for 10 or more days. This late charge shall not apply to payments due at maturity or by acceleration hereof. Acceptance by Lender of any late payment without an accompanying late charge shall not be deemed a waiver of Lender’s right to collect such late charge or to collect a late charge for any subsequent late payment received.
10. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND OTHER COLLECTION COSTS. Borrower shall pay all of the Lender’s reasonable expenses actually incurred to enforce or collect any of the Obligations including, without limitation, reasonable arbitration, paralegals’, attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, whether incurred without the commencement of a suit, in any trial, arbitration, or administrative proceeding, or in any appellate or bankruptcy proceeding.
11. USURY. If at any time the effective interest rate under this Note would, but for this paragraph, exceed the maximum lawful rate, the effective interest rate under this Note shall be the maximum lawful rate, and any amount received by Lender in excess of such rate shall be applied to principal and then to fees and expenses, or, if no such amounts are owing, returned to Borrower.
12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT: If any of the following occurs, a default (“Default”) under this Note shall exist:
a. Nonpayment; Nonperformance. The failure of timely payment or performance of the Obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

14. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. No waivers, amendments or modifications of this Note and other Loan Documents shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an officer of Lender. No waiver by Lender of any Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or the same Default on a future occasion. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Note and other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This MORTGAGE, ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (“Mortgage”) is made as of August 6, 2020 by and between NORTHERN EQUITY GROUP, INC.; JKH VENTURES, INC.; and DONALD ROSS, LLC, all of whose address for notice purposes is c/o DONALD ROSS, LLC, 8595 College Parkway, Suite 350, Fort Myers, Florida 33919, (collectively, “Mortgagee”), and 1612 E.

To secure payment and performance of obligations under that certain Promissory Note (the “Note”) dated as of even date herewith in the principal amount of $1,000,000.00, made by Mortgagor, payable to Mortgagee, this Mortgage and all other obligations (collectively, the “Obligations”) under any and all documents executed and delivered to Mortgagee in connection with this Mortgage and the Note and all renewals, modifications, restatements, and amendments thereof, (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) and in consideration of these premises and for other consideration, Mortgagor does mortgage, grant and convey unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns all of Mortgagor’s right, title and interest now owned or hereafter acquired in and to each of the following (collectively, the “Property”): (i) all those certain tracts of land in Lee County, Florida described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made part hereof (the “Land”); (ii) all buildings and improvements now or hereafter erected on the Land; (iii) all leases, licenses or occupancy agreements of all or any part of the Land and all extensions, renewals, and modifications thereof, and any options, rights of first refusal or guarantees relating thereto; all rents, income, revenues, security deposits, issues, profits, awards and payments of any kind payable under the leases or otherwise arising from the Land; (iv) all contract rights, accounts receivable and general intangibles relating to the Land or the use, occupancy, maintenance, construction, repair or operation thereof; all management agreements, franchise agreements, utility agreements and deposits; all maps, plans, surveys and specifications; all warranties and guaranties; all permits, licenses and approvals; and all insurance policies pertaining to the Land and building and improvements thereon; (v) all estates, rights, tenements, hereditaments, privileges, easements, and appurtenances of any kind benefiting the Land; all means of access to and from the Land, whether public or private; and all water and mineral rights; and (vi) all “Proceeds” of any of the above-described property, which term shall have the meaning given to it in the Uniform Commercial Code of the jurisdiction where this Mortgage is recorded (the “UCC”), whether cash or non-cash, and including insurance proceeds and condemnation awards; and all replacements, substitutions and accessions thereof.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property and all the estate, right, title and interest, in law and in equity, of Mortgagor’s in and to the Property unto Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, forever.
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the amount secured hereby at any time shall not exceed the principal amount of $1,000,000.00 (“Original Maximum Principal Amount”), plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses in connection therewith, and future advances.
Mortgagor WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS that Mortgagor is lawfully seized of the Property, in fee simple, absolute, that Mortgagor has the legal right to convey and encumber the same, and that the Property is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. Mortgagor further warrants and will forever defend all and singular the Property and title thereto to Mortgagee and Mortgagee’s successors and assigns, against the lawful claims of all persons whomsoever.
PROVIDED ALWAYS that if (i) all the Obligations are paid in full, and (ii) each and every representation, warranty, agreement, covenant and condition of this Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, are complied with and abided by, have matured or been terminated, then this Mortgage and the estate hereby created shall cease and be null, void, and canceled of record.
To protect the security of this Mortgage, Mortgagor further represents and agrees with Mortgagee as follows:
Payment of Obligations. That the Obligations shall be timely paid and performed.
Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure not only existing Obligations but also future advances made within 20 years of the date of this Mortgage to the same extent as if such future advances are made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The principal amount that may be so secured may decrease or increase from time to time, but the total amount so secured at any one time shall not exceed $2,000,000.00, plus all interest, costs, reimbursements, fees and expenses due under this Mortgage and secured hereby and any future advances. Mortgagor shall not execute any document that impairs or otherwise impacts the priority of any existing or future Obligations secured by this Mortgage.
Grant of Security Interest in Personal Property. This Mortgage constitutes a security agreement under the UCC and shall be deemed to constitute a fixture financing statement. Mortgagor will pay all costs and expenses of filing any UCC financing statements in all public filing offices, where filing is deemed desirable by Mortgagee. Mortgagee is authorized to file Financing Statements relating to the Property without Mortgagor’s signature where permitted by law. Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents necessary to perfect Mortgagee’s security interest on Mortgagor’s behalf. The appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain outstanding.
Nothing herein obligates Mortgagee to provide credit in excess of the Obligations.
Leases, Subleases and Easements. Mortgagor shall maintain, enforce and cause to be performed all of the terms and conditions under any lease, sublease or easement which may constitute a portion of the Property. Mortgagor shall not, without the consent of Mortgagee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any new lease of all or any portion of the Property, agree to the cancellation or surrender under any lease of all or any portion of the Property, agree to prepayment of rents, issues or profits (other than rent paid at the signing of a lease or sublease), modify any such lease so as to shorten the term, decrease the rent, accelerate the payment of rent, or change the terms of any renewal option; and any such purported new lease, cancellation, surrender, prepayment or modification made without the consent of Mortgagee shall be void as against Mortgagee.
Required Insurance. Mortgagor shall cause to be maintained with respect to the Property: (i) insurance against loss or damage by fire and other casualties and hazards by insurance written on an “all risks” basis, including malicious mischief, collapse and sinkhole coverage, in an amount not less than the replacement cost thereof, including coverage for loss of rents or business interruption if applicable, naming Mortgagee as loss payee and mortgagee; (ii) if the Property is required to be insured pursuant to the National Flood Reform Act of 1994, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, flood insurance is required in the amount equal to the lesser of the loan amount or maximum available under the National Flood Insurance Program, but in no event should the amount of coverage be less than the value of the improved structure, naming Mortgagee as mortgagee and loss payee.; (iii) as applicable, insurance which complies with the workers’ compensation and employers’ liability laws of all states in which Mortgagor shall be required to maintain such insurance; and (iv) liability insurance providing coverage of no less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit, naming Mortgagee as an additional insured.
All property insurance policies shall contain an endorsement or agreement by the insurer in form satisfactory to Mortgagee that any loss shall be payable in accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or negligence of Mortgagor or any tenant and the further agreement (within both the property and liability policies) of the insurer waiving rights of subrogation against Mortgagee, and rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against Mortgagor.
All insurance policies shall be in form, provide coverages, be issued by companies and be in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee. At least 30 days prior to the expiration of each such policy, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that such policy has been renewed or replaced or is no longer required hereunder. All such policies shall provide that the policy will not be canceled or materially amended without at least 30 days prior written notice to Mortgagee. In the event Mortgagor fails to provide, maintain, keep in force, and furnish to Mortgagee the policies of insurance required by this paragraph, Mortgagee may, after 20 days, prior written notice to Mortgagor, procure such insurance or single-interest insurance in such amounts, at such premium, for such risks and by such means as Mortgagee chooses, at Mortgagor’s expense; provided however, Mortgagee shall have no responsibility to obtain any insurance, but if Mortgagee does obtain insurance, Mortgagee shall have no responsibility to assure that the insurance obtained shall be adequate or provide any protection to Mortgagor.
Insurance Proceeds. After occurrence of any loss to any of the Property, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee.
In the event of such loss all insurance proceeds, including unearned premiums, shall be payable to Mortgagee, and Mortgagor hereby authorizes and directs any affected insurance company to make payment of such proceeds directly to Mortgagee and not to Mortgagee and Mortgagor jointly. Mortgagee is hereby authorized by Mortgagor to make proof of loss if not promptly made by Mortgagor, settle, adjust or compromise any claims for loss or damage under any policy or policies of insurance and Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse any insurance proceeds to Mortgagee, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied. Mortgagor shall pay the costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, of insurance proceeds payable on account of such damage or destruction. Mortgagor shall have no claim against the insurance proceeds, or be entitled to any portion thereof, and all rights to the insurance proceeds are hereby assigned to Mortgagee as security for payment of the Obligations.
In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property, Mortgagee shall have the option of applying or paying all or part of the insurance proceeds to (i) the Obligations in such order as Mortgagee may determine, (ii) restoration, replacement or repair of the Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s standard construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements, or (iii) Mortgagor. Nothing herein shall be deemed to excuse Mortgagor from restoring, repairing and maintaining the Property as required herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that all of the following conditions are fully satisfied by Mortgagor, Mortgagee shall disburse insurance proceeds for repair and restoration of the Property in accordance with construction loan disbursement conditions and requirements that a lender would normally utilize: (i) no Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Default shall have occurred and remain uncured beyond any applicable cure period; (ii) Mortgagor shall have delivered evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee that the Property can be fully repaired and restored at least 6 months prior to the maturity of the Obligations; (iii) no lease of the Property is cancelable or terminable by the tenant or Mortgagor on account of the casualty or, if it is, the tenant or Mortgagor (as applicable) has waived in writing its right to cancel; (iv) the work is performed under a fixed price or guaranteed maximum price contract satisfactory to Mortgagee in accordance with plans and specifications and a budget satisfactory to Mortgagee in accordance with all legal requirements; (v) Mortgagor shall have deposited with Mortgagee for disbursement in the connection with the restoration the greater of: (A) the applicable deductible under the insurance policies covering the loss; or (B) the amount by which the cost of restoration of the Property to substantially the same value, condition and character as existed prior to such damage is estimated by Mortgagee to exceed the net insurance proceeds; (vi) Mortgagor has paid as and when due all of Mortgagee’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the collection and disbursement of insurance proceeds, including without limitation, inspection, monitoring, engineering and legal fees. If not paid on demand, at Mortgagee’s option, such costs may be deducted from the disbursements made by Mortgagee or added to the sums secured by this Mortgage; and (vii) such other terms and conditions as Mortgagee may reasonably require.
Impositions; Escrow Deposit. Mortgagor will pay all taxes, levies, assessments and other fees and charges imposed upon or which may become a lien upon the Property under any law or ordinance (all of the foregoing collectively “Impositions”) before they become delinquent and in any event in the same calendar year in which they first become due, unless such impositions are being validly and in good faith disputed by Mortgagor and Mortgagor has set aside sufficient funds to make the required payment.
Use of Property. Mortgagor shall use and operate, and require its lessees or licensees to use and operate, the Property in compliance with all applicable laws (including, for example, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act) and ordinances, covenants, and restrictions, and with all applicable requirements of any lease or sublease now or hereafter affecting the Property. Mortgagor shall not permit any unlawful use of the Property or any use that may give rise to a claim of forfeiture of any of the Property. Mortgagor shall not allow changes in the stated use of Property from that disclosed to Mortgagee at the time of execution hereof. Mortgagor shall not initiate or acquiesce to a zoning change of the Property without prior notice to, and written consent of, Mortgagee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Maintenance, Repairs and Alterations. Mortgagor shall keep and maintain the Property in good condition and repair and fully protected from the elements to the satisfaction of Mortgagee. Mortgagor will not remove, demolish or structurally alter any of the buildings or other improvements on the Property (except such alterations as may be required by laws, ordinances or regulations) without the prior written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee in writing of any material loss, damage or adverse condition affecting the Property.
Eminent Domain. Should the Property or any interest therein be taken or damaged by reason of any public use or improvement or condemnation proceeding (“Condemnation”), or should Mortgagor receive any notice or other information regarding such Condemnation, Mortgagor shall give prompt written notice thereof to Mortgagee. Mortgagee shall be entitled to all compensation, awards and other payments or relief granted in connection with such Condemnation and, at its option, may commence, appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceedings relating thereto. Mortgagee shall be entitled to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such taking or damage. All compensation, awards, and damages awarded to Mortgagor related to any Condemnation (the “Proceeds”) are hereby assigned to Mortgagee solely to the extent of any outstanding Obligations, and Mortgagor agrees to execute such further assignments of the Proceeds as Mortgagee may require. Mortgagee shall have the option of applying or paying the Proceeds in the same manner as insurance proceeds as provided herein. Mortgagor appoints Mortgagee as its attorney-in-fact to receive and endorse the Proceeds to Mortgagee, which appointment is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable as long as any Obligations remain unsatisfied.
Environmental Condition of Property and Indemnity. Mortgagor warrants and represents to Mortgagee that to the best of its knowledge and belief without investigation or duty to investigate: (i) the Property and Mortgagor, and any occupants of the Property, are in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations intended to protect the environment and public health and safety as the same may be amended from time to time (“Environmental Laws”); (ii) the Property is not used to generate, handle, treat, store or dispose of, in any quantity, oil, petroleum products, hazardous or toxic substances, hazardous waste, regulated substances or hazardous air pollutants (“Hazardous Materials”) in violation of any Environmental Laws; (iii) no Hazardous Materials (including asbestos, mold or lead paint in any form) are located on or under the Property or emanate from the Property; (iv) there are no unregistered underground storage tanks on the Property that are subject to any underground storage tank registration laws or regulations; (v) no notice has been received with regard to any Hazardous Material on the Property; (vi) no action, investigation or proceeding is pending or to Mortgagor’s knowledge threatened which seeks to enforce any right or remedy against Mortgagor or the Property under any Environmental Law; and (vii) all licenses, permits and other governmental or regulatory actions necessary for the Property to comply with Environmental Laws shall be obtained and maintained and Mortgagor shall assure compliance therewith.
Further, Mortgagor represents to Mortgagee that to the best of its knowledge and belief without investigation or duty to investigate, no portion of the Property is a protected wetland. Mortgagor agrees to notify Mortgagee immediately upon receipt of any citations, warnings, orders, notices, consent agreements, process or claims alleging or relating to violations of any Environmental Laws or to the environmental condition of the Property and shall conduct and complete all investigations and all cleanup actions necessary to comply with the Environmental Laws and to remove, in accordance with Environmental Laws, any Hazardous Material from the Property.
Mortgagor shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Mortgagee from and against any and all damages, penalties, fines, claims, suits, liabilities, costs, judgments and expenses, including attorneys’, consultants’ or experts’ fees of every kind and nature incurred, suffered by or asserted against Mortgagee as a direct or indirect result of: (i) representations made by Mortgagor in this Section being in any material respect; (ii) Mortgagor’s violation of or failure to meet the requirements of any Environmental Laws; or (iii) Hazardous Materials which, while the Property is subject to this Mortgage, exist on the Property.

The cost of such inspections made after Default (as hereinafter defined) or which are required by laws or regulations applicable to Mortgagee shall be borne by Mortgagor. However, Mortgagor’s indemnity shall not apply to any negligent or intentional act of Mortgagee which takes place after foreclosure or satisfaction of this Mortgage. These indemnification obligations are in addition to General Indemnification provisions set forth hereafter. Mortgagor’s Obligations under this section shall continue, survive and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the repayment of the Obligations, a foreclosure of or exercise of power of sale under this instrument, a delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a cancellation or termination of record of this instrument and the transfer of the Property.
Inspections. Mortgagee, or its representatives or agents, are authorized to enter at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior written notice but not less than three (3) business days. upon any part of the Property for the purpose of inspecting the Property and for the purpose of performing any of the acts it is authorized to perform under the terms of this Mortgage.
Liens and Subrogation. Mortgagor shall pay and promptly discharge all liens, claims and encumbrances upon the Property. Mortgagor shall have the right to contest in good faith the validity of any such lien, claim or encumbrance, provided: (i) such contest suspends the collection thereof or there is no danger of the Property being sold or forfeited while such contest is pending; (ii) Mortgagor first deposits with Mortgagee a bond or other security satisfactory to Mortgagee in such amounts as Mortgagee shall reasonably require; and (iii) Mortgagor thereafter diligently proceeds to cause such lien, claim or encumbrance to be removed and discharged.
Mortgagee shall be subrogated to any liens, claims and encumbrances against Mortgagor or the Property that are paid or discharged through payment by Mortgagee or with loan proceeds, notwithstanding the record cancellation or satisfaction thereof.
Waiver of Mortgagor’s Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that hereafter may be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Property, (ii) in any way extending the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Note or the debt evidenced thereby or any of the other Obligations, and any rights to hearing prior to the exercise by Mortgagee of any right, power, or remedy herein provided to Mortgagee.
To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or seek to take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any exemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption, and Mortgagor for itself and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons claiming any interest in the Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waive and release all rights of valuation, appraisement, redemption, stay of execution, the benefit of all exemption laws, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the liens hereby created. Mortgagor further waives any and all notices including, without limitation, notice of intention to accelerate and of acceleration of the Obligations.
Payments by Mortgagee. In the event of Default (as hereinafter defined) in the timely payment or performance of any of the Obligations, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Mortgagee, at its option and without any duty on its part to determine the validity or necessity thereof, may pay the sums for which Mortgagor is obligated. Further, Mortgagee may pay such sums as Mortgagee deems appropriate for the protection and maintenance of the Property including, without limitation, sums to pay Impositions and other levies, assessments or liens, maintain insurance, make repairs, secure the Property, maintain utility service, intervene in any condemnation and pay attorneys’ fees and other fees and costs to enforce this Mortgage or protect the lien hereof (including foreclosure) or collect the Obligations, without limitation, including those incurred in any proceeding including bankruptcy or arbitration. Any amounts so paid shall bear interest at the default rate stated in the Note and shall be secured by this Mortgage.
General Indemnification. Mortgagor shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Mortgagee from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, fines, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Damages”) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or assessed against Mortgagee on account of or in connection with (i) any failure or alleged failure of Mortgagor to comply with any of the terms of, or the inaccuracy or breach of any representation in, the Loan Documents; (ii) any claim of loss or damage to the Property or any injury or claim of injury to, or death of, any person or property that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Property or the use, occupancy or operation thereof, (iii) any failure or alleged failure of Mortgagor to comply with any law, rule or regulation applicable to it or to the Property or the use, occupancy or operation of the Property (including, without limitation, the failure to pay any taxes, fees or other charges), provided that such indemnity shall be effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Mortgagee in excess of any net proceeds received by it from any insurance of Mortgagor (other than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages, (iv) any Damages whatsoever by reason of any alleged action, obligation or undertaking of Mortgagee relating in any way to or any matter contemplated by the Loan Documents, and (v) any and all liability arising prior to any foreclosure from any leases related to the Property. Nothing contained herein shall require Mortgagor to indemnify Mortgagee for any Damages resulting from Mortgagee’s negligence or its willful and wrongful acts, and such indemnity shall be effective only to the extent of any Damages that may be sustained by Mortgagee in excess of any net proceeds received by Mortgagee from any insurance of Mortgagor (other than self-insurance) with respect to such Damages. The indemnity provided for herein shall survive payment of the Obligations and shall extend to the officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents of Mortgagee. In the event the Mortgagee incurs any Damages arising out of or in any way relating to the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents (including any of the matters referred to in this section), the amounts of such Damages shall be added to the Obligations, shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, at the interest rate borne by the Obligations from the date incurred until paid and shall be payable on demand.
Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Mortgagee all the leases, rents, issues and profits of the Property (collectively “Rents”). Although this assignment is effective immediately, so long as no Default exists, Mortgagee gives to and confers upon Mortgagor the privilege under a revocable license to collect as they become due, but not prior to accrual, the Rents and to demand, receive and enforce payment, give receipts, releases and satisfactions, and sue in the name of Mortgagor for all such Rents. Mortgagor represents there has been no prior assignment of leases or Rents, and agrees not to further assign such leases or Rents. Upon any occurrence of Default, the license granted to Mortgagor herein shall be automatically revoked without further notice to or demand upon Mortgagor, and Mortgagee shall have the right, in its discretion, without notice, by agent or by a receiver appointed by a court, and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Property, (ii) notify tenants, subtenants and any property manager to pay Rents to Mortgagee or its designee, and upon receipt of such notice such persons are authorized and directed to make payment as specified in the notice and disregard any contrary direction or instruction by Mortgagor, and (iii) in its own name, sue for or otherwise collect Rents, including those past due, and apply Rents, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including attorneys’ fees, to the Obligations in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine or as otherwise provided for herein. Mortgagee’s exercise of any one or more of the foregoing rights shall not cure or waive any Default or notice of Default hereunder.
Due on Sale or Further Encumbrance or Transfer of an Interest in Mortgagor. Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee in each instance, Mortgagor shall not (i) sell, convey, transfer or encumber the Property, or any part thereof or interest therein, whether legal or equitable; (ii) cause or permit any transfer of the Property or any part thereof, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or (iii) enter into any agreement or transaction to transfer, or accomplish in form or substance a transfer, of the Property unless at the time of transfer all of the Obligations to Mortgagee are paid in full. A “transfer” of the Property includes: (a) the direct or indirect sale, transfer or conveyance of the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein; (b) the execution of an installment sale contract or similar instrument affecting all or any portion of the Property; (c) the sale, transfer, or encumbrance of any membership interest in Mortgagor; and (d) an agreement by Mortgagor leasing all or a substantial part of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of or the grant of a security interest in and to any Leases.
Mortgagee’s consent to any conveyance or encumbrance may be conditioned upon an increase in the interest rate specified in the Note (or other Obligations), an extension or curtailment of the maturity of the Obligations, or other modification of the Note or this instrument.
Remedies of Mortgagee on Default. Failure of Mortgagor or any other person liable to timely pay or perform any of the Obligations is a default (“Default”) under this Mortgage. Upon the occurrence of Default and after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, the following remedies are available, without limitation, to Mortgagee: (i) Mortgagee may exercise any or all of Mortgagee’s remedies under this Mortgage or other Loan Documents including, without limitation, acceleration of the maturity of all payments and Obligations, other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements with Mortgagee or any of its Affiliates, which shall be due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of said Swap Agreements; (ii) Mortgagee may take immediate possession of the Property or any part thereof (which Mortgagor agrees to surrender to Mortgagee) and manage, control or lease the same to such persons and at such rental as it may deem proper and collect and apply Rents to the payment of: (a) the Obligations, together with all costs and attorneys’ fees; (b) all Impositions and any other levies, assessments or liens which may be prior in lien or payment to the Obligations, and premiums for insurance, with interest on all such items; and (c) the cost of all alterations, repairs, replacements and expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property and the management and operation thereof; all in such order or priority as Mortgagee in its sole discretion may determine. The taking of possession shall not prevent concurrent or later proceedings for the foreclosure sale of the Property; (iii) Mortgagee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver for all purposes including, without limitation, to manage and operate the Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents therefrom as hereinabove provided. In the event of such application, Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a receiver, and agrees that a receiver may be appointed without notice to Mortgagor, without regard to whether Mortgagor has committed waste or permitted deterioration of the Property, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations, and without regard to the solvency of Mortgagor or any other person, firm or corporation who or which may be liable for the payment of the Obligations; (iv) Mortgagee may exercise all the remedies of a mortgagee as provided by law and in equity including, without limitation, foreclosure upon this Mortgage and sale of the Property, or any part of the Property, at public sale conducted according to applicable law (referred to as “Sale”) and conduct additional Sales as may be required until all of the Property is sold or the Obligations are satisfied; (v) With respect to any portion of the Property governed by the UCC, Mortgagee shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party thereunder. Mortgagee may elect to foreclose upon any Property that is fixtures under law applicable to foreclosure of interests in real estate or law applicable to personal property; (vi) Mortgagee may bid at Sale and may accept, as successful bidder, credit of the bid amount against the Obligations as payment of any portion of the purchase price; and (vii) Mortgagee shall apply the proceeds of Sale, first to any fees or attorney fees permitted Mortgagee by law in connection with Sale, second to expenses of foreclosure, publication, and sale permitted Mortgagee by law in connection with Sale, third to the Obligations, and any remaining proceeds as required by law.
Miscellaneous Provisions.

By Nishant Rajawat, Founder, Bird AI
Corporate meeting planning and execution have evolved over the last decade, largely due to the relentlessly inventive and far-reaching technologies that have made it possible. This change had made it more complex than what came before, which had mostly stayed the same for the past few decades. Conference room technology has advanced significantly. Meeting rooms have evolved from bulky projectors with messy wires to a more seamless solution. Modern meeting rooms have cutting-edge wireless presentation systems, smart tools for sharing your screen, video conferencing tools, and other features to ensure your meeting with your team or a client goes well.
Nearly 300 IT leaders were polled to learn where they are spending to get the most out of their workplace technology budgets and what workplace technology criteria are most important. To bridge the gap between virtual and in-person attendees, nearly 90% of CEOs invest in tools such as interactive smartboards, virtual conference software, and improved audio equipment.
The video conferencing market size is anticipated to increase from USD 9.2 billion in 2021 to USD 22.5 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.7%, according to MarketsandMarketsTM research. To increase efficiency, AI will soon be utilized to communicate with people through AI-powered conference rooms. For instance, AI may significantly improve video conferencing by helping companies handle meetings more efficiently and boosting productivity by automating simple tasks.
Putting wireless presentation devices in meeting rooms sets the stage for smart collaboration and eliminates the need for cables, making it easier for the team to talk to clients in a modern and quick way.
Advantages of using a wireless meeting room solution
Ensures easy access and setup- Wireless presentation systems can begin presenting in a few seconds. People can easily connect and access the device using a WiFi connection with a few simple clicks. When it takes only a few seconds to set up a meeting, the meetings are bound to be efficient and productive. Wireless presentation systems not only save time, but they are also simple to use. It enables employees to schedule their meetings using simple technology with minimal IT involvement.
Meeting Rooms are decluttered- The most powerful presentations will only impact attendees if the meeting space is clear and decluttered. Furthermore, messy and disorganized wires looming over your meeting room do not make a good first impression on clients. On the other hand, a wireless presentation system ensures that the employees and guests walk into a smart and well-organized meeting space, easily connect to the network, and present their content from their devices for everyone in the room to view without the hassle using cables and wires.
Encourages meeting participants to collaborate- All meetings are guaranteed to be participatory thanks to a wireless presentation system in the conference rooms and huddle spaces. The wireless meeting rooms create a simple medium for the teams to share content ideas, collaborate on projects, and have equal opportunity to comment and give feedback on the content which is being presented by allowing multiple presenter options, video conferencing apps, and screen sharing access to remote employees and clients from all over the world.
Easy content sharing- Content sharing plays a crucial role in bringing out the true potential of the teams. The wireless meeting room solution uses cloud storage and enables easy content sharing. The host and all participants can share content from any device, such as a laptop, tablet, or phone. This lets them run meetings based on their schedules, content, preferences, and productivity tools. The participants can easily access their content on their personal devices and share it instantly, saving an enormous amount of time during meetings.
Minimizes the total cost of ownership – Subpar technologies always increase the dependency on multiple devices like a touchpad controller or spread wires and cables in the meeting room to launch the meetings. The advanced wireless meeting room technology can reduce device costs and allow users to launch meetings directly from their devices, decluttering the meeting spaces.
Wireless meeting solutions can transform the way meetings happen. It can reduce the time spent joining meetings and increase productivity. In this changing hybrid meeting culture, meeting rooms should have wireless meeting solutions to make it easier for teams to work together seamlessly with higher productivity. Creating equal chances for all the participants in and out of the meeting room to contribute their ideas is a big challenge that can be solved using a cutting-edge wireless meeting room solution.

Temporary power provider Aggreko has seen profits dip despite a modest rise in sales.
Weaker trading in its power projects division, which provides generation facilities to developing countries, was blamed for the fall.
Glasgow-based Aggreko’s ‘local division’, which rents out small-scale generation or refrigeration plant for customers to operate themselves, saw strong growth in region including the Americas and Asia-Pacific.
Pre-tax profits for the six months to 30 June were down by 2 per cent to £146 million, although turnover rose by 4 per cent higher to £760m.
Chief executive Rupert Soames said: “First-half performance was in line with expectations. Our local business, representing some 60 per cent of revenues, delivered strong underlying revenue growth and margins strengthened; trading in our power projects business was, however, subdued relative to its historic performance, with revenues flat on the prior year and margins weaker.”
Soames said revenues in the power projects business were expected to be higher in the second half of the year than in the first.

Wedding - #35 FOOD TASTING
What i really like about Crowne Plaza hotel is that they even show the menu which was going to be presented on the dinner table that day. So you can request for whatever text you want to go onto your menu.
how this works is that you will have a table of 10 for food tasting. And best to book 1.5 months in advance prior to your wedding date. The good side of having a food tasting is that it serves as a general guide as to what your guests will be eating that night while you are slaving away, changing into your dresses, accommodating to your guests' needs, drinking and going up on stage etc... This is a very crucial part of the wedding banquet as I realised that certain items which looks quite tempting in description from the menu(we had 3 options to choose from every dish we had), however taste and presentation may not be what we (the family and ourselves) want for my guests. Also it's good to give comments/feedback at the end of the day so that the hotel/restaurant is able to improve!
1st dish: Imperial treasure combination platter.
Here we made a mistake in ordering the tofu as we didn't quite like the overall taste. And MIL thought that the overall platter was too golden brown. She requested to have the Japanese octopus for an auspicious red colour to the dish. She also wanted us to feedback to the hotel to add like carrot flower pieces on the side for more colour. The best part of the dish was the roasted pork. These got both MIL nodding with pleasure together with their husbands.
2nd dish: Double boiled sea whelk soup with chinese herbs.
Again, another mistake. The soup was thick which we didn't realise when we made the order. So we had to change this dish.
3rd dish: Deep Fried Prawns with Mayonnaise
BEAUTIFUL. WJ and I were impressed with the taste, freshness of the prawns and the overall presenation. However, MIL still feels that it lacks the auspicious colour and even wanted fruit salad on the side. But we just feedback that it could do with some black sesame seeds on the top for some colour. Even crab/fish roe would be good for topping!
4th dish: Steamed Soon Hock with Light Soya Sauce
Again, steamed to perfection. we are happy with this dish too!
5th dish: Braised Sea Cucumber with Broccoli & Mushroom
MIL finds it too black! hahah, so feedback again to incorporate some carrot slices for colour. Sheesh! Overall dish was good!
6th dish: Roasted Crispy Chicken
WOOHOO! good good! no complains here
7th dish: Fried Rice with Diced seafood wrapped in Lotus Leaf
YUMMY!!! This fried rice had loads of seafood from dried scallops, prawns, squid with egg, spring onions. really sumptous and satisfying.
8th dish: Sweetened Cream of Red bean with Glutinous Rice Dumpling.
Auspicious meaning to this dish for happiness and an all-rounded ending. The right colour and the right taste. No change to this dish!

However, he also created a large body of woodblock prints and is best known in the West as one of the greatest artists of the new print movement which was a revitalization of ancient woodblock prints.

PORTLAND — A Portland-area teacher who was escorted from his local high school by police over his continued opposition to Planned Parenthood will face a misconduct hearing today as district officials consider declaring him “unfit to teach.”
As previously reported, Bill Diss, an 11-year math and computer science teacher at Benson High School in Portland, was removed from the school by police this past March because he refused to allow the organization in his classroom. Planned Parenthood had visited Diss’ class to urge students to sign up for its Teen Outreach Program (TOP) as it was seeking to recruit youth throughout the school.
Diss has been speaking out against the organization publicly since 2007.
According to reports, Planned Parenthood of Columbia Williamette began promoting the program at Benson High School last year, which allegedly contains teaching about premarital sex, contraception and abortion. Last September, two representatives from the organization showed up at Diss’ door, hoping to speak to students. However, the math and computer science teacher, who identifies as a Roman Catholic, would not let Planned Parenthood enter and asked the representatives to leave.
Following Diss’ refusal to allow the representatives into his classroom, the principal and vice principal of the school paid Diss a visit and temporarily removed him from the class. Planned Parenthood also filed a complaint against the teacher. The next day, he was forced to sit in on a Planned Parenthood presentation.
“They were extremely aggressive in obtaining the children’s signatures by promising them all sorts of gifts and cash,” Diss said.
Later, Diss also took issue with TOP permission forms that were being sent home with some students, which bore his name. His attorney contacted Planned Parenthood and the school, demanding that they retract statements on the form that appeared as if Diss approved of the program. They threatened a lawsuit, stating that Diss was being harassed for his beliefs about the organization.
Ever since, Diss says that the school has been sending him regular notes that question his teaching skills and methods. He has been required to attend numerous hearings, and today, he will face a formal misconduct hearing that will weigh whether he may keep his teaching credentials. Diss said that he was informed by legal counsel that the proceedings will be “very vicious.”
“The hearing is divided into two parts: The first part is at 4:00 p.m., when the district will have an hour to bring charges against me for misconduct and being unfit to teach,” he explained to the publication Common Sense. “[During] the second hour from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., we get an opportunity to respond to the charges.”
“I am asking all to pray and I would cherish your presence the second hour or for the entire hearing,” Diss continued. “Please bring your families. I think it is important that the school attorney and board members understand the importance of families and children. The press will also be there and I suspect many supporters of Planned Parenthood will be there.”
One of the charges brought against Diss, according to the Washington Times, involves his comments about sexual purity and abortion in his math and science classes.
“Do these educators know how to spell i-r-o-n-y?” reporter Paul Rondeau asked.
