M Network TM SPACE ATTACK TM I N S T R U C T I O N S (1 Player vs. Computer) The object of the game is to defend your Mother Ship from attacking aliens. You have 3 squadrons, with 3 ships in each squadron. Aliens have 6 fleets of varying sizes. (Only 3 fleets appear at a time on the Radar Screen.) Destroy all alien fleets and you win! If your squadrons are destroyed first, the aliens move in and annihilate the hidden Mother Ship. For Your Atari* Video Game System (c) Mattel, Inc. 1982. Hawthorne, CA 90250. PRINTED IN U.S.A. All Rights Reserved. *Atari, is a Trademark of ATARI, Inc. THE GAME ESTABLISH STRATEGY IN RADAR MODE. You see a radar view of space, with alien fleets moving toward the inner rectangle where your Mother ship is hidden. (You do not see the Mother Ship.) Select an alien fleet to attack. Then dispatch one of your squadrons - blue, white or gold - after it. Dispatch one, two or all three squadrons, but ONLY ONE SQUADRON PER ALIEN FLEET at a time. Your squadrons appear in the center of the screen only after you dispatch them. TAKE YOUR SQUADRON INTO BATTLE MODE,when it reaches its target fleet and starts blinking. In Battle Mode, you look out into space through your laser gunsight, as alien ships engage you in a space dogfight. Move your gunsight ahead of an alien ship and fire! Your lasers come from the bottom of the screen and converge at the point where your gunsight was WHEN YOU FIRED. Watch out for return fire. Alien photon blasts are fired from the alien ships, at your gunsight. If they TURN RED and hit your gunsight, they destroy one of your ships. NUMBERS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN INDICATE NUMBER OF SHIPS REMAINING IN THE ALIEN FLEET (LEFT) AND NUMBER OF SHIPS REMAINING IN YOUR SQUADRON (RIGHT). YOU AUTOMATICALLY RETURN TO RADAR MODE when you shoot down an entire alien fleet or lose your squadron. If your squadron survived the battle, it remains in place until you dispatch it again. Go after the next alien fleet, until all are destroyed. A SIREN WARNS YOU WHEN THE MOTHER SHIP IS UNDER ATTACK. Siren gets faster as the Mother Ship sustains more damage. The game ends if the Mother Ship is destroyed. HOW TO PLAY Use EITHER joystick controller with this game. Be sure the controller cable is securely plugged into the back of your game console. Hold the controller so the red button is to your upper left. TO START THE GAME, press down on the RESET switch, then pull down on the LEFT joystick. IN RADAR MODE 1. TO SELECT AN ALIEN FLEET, PULL JOYSTICK DOWN REPEATEDLY, until selected alien fleet turns purplish color. HOLD UP - BUTTON WHITE SQUADRON DOWN LEFT - RIGHT - BLUE SQUADRON GOLD SQUADRON 2. TO DISPATCH A SQUADRON, HOLD RED BUTTON DOWN WHILE MOVING JOYSTICK TO UP, LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION. 3. TO TAKE A SQUADRON INTO BATTLE, (when squadron reaches alien fleet and starts blinking), MOVE JOYSTICK TO UP, LEFT OR RIGHT POSITION, WITHOUT PRESSING THE RED BUTTON. TO RE-DISPATCH A SQUADRON, follow Steps 1 and 2 above. IN BATTLE MODE Move the joystick in any direction, to guide the gunsight where you wish your lasers to hit. Keep your gunsight away from red alien fire. PUSH THE RED BUTTON TO FIRE YOUR LASERS. DIFFICULTY SWITCHES LEFT Difficulty Switch controls how well the aliens fight. Battle is much more fierce in Hard Position (A) than in Easy Position (B). Alien ships fire and zigzag MUCH more frequently and their photon blasts travel twice as fast. RIGHT Difficulty Switch controls activity on the Radar Screen while you are in Battle Mode. EASY POSITION (B) - NO activity on Radar Screen while you are in Battle Mode. Computer does NOT fight battles for you. HARD POSITION (A) - All activity on Radar Screen continues when you are in Battle Mode, but at 1/4 NORMAL RATE. If any other dispatched squadron reaches its target fleet, battle begins and the COMPUTER FIGHTS FOR YOU, losing roughly one of your ships for every four alien ships destroyed. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SWITCH SHOULD BE SET AT THE SAME DIFFICULTY LEVEL. WINNING TIPS 1. Dispatch your first squadron after the alien fleet CLOSEST to the Mother Ship. If possible, do not dispatch more than one squadron at a time, when playing with the Right Difficulty Switch in Hard position. 2. Try to hold one squadron in reserve, in case an alien fleet makes it to the inner rectangle. You can reach the threatening alien faster from the Mother Ship than from another position in space. 3. In Battle Mode, keep your gunsight moving. Alien photon blasts home in on your gunsight if it remains in one place for long. 4. As soon as you finish one battle with a squadron, send it back out after another alien fleet. Don't leave it sitting idle in space.

GeoSea, a subsidiary of DEME Group, has completed the design of the foundations for the 112MW EnBW Albatros offshore wind farm and has received a Notice to Proceed with the fabrication and offshore installation of 16 wind turbine foundations and one offshore transformer module (OTM).
GeoSea is Siemens’ EPCI partner on this project and the neighbouring 497MW EnBW Hohe See wind farm.
This partnership enables Siemens to provide full-scope offshore wind power plant solutions including offshore wind turbines, the OTMs, and the foundations.
The development of the two wind farms will be carried out as a joint project, scheduled for completion in 2019, EnBW said.
The two wind farms will feature a total of 87 Siemens SWT-7.0-154 wind turbines with a combined capacity of 609MW.
The Albatros offshore wind farm is located in the so-called “exclusive economic zone” of the North Sea, approximately 90 km north of the island of Borkum in the German North Sea.
The project will cover an area of around 11 square kilometres with water depths of up to 40 metres.
The design of the offshore foundations for the Albatros wind farm is based on monopile and transition piece foundations.
Fabrication of the foundations is foreseen in 2017/2018 whilst offshore installation will take place in 2018 together with the offshore installation of the EnBW Hohe See offshore wind farm.
Christopher Iwens, General Manager of DEME’s German Subsidiaries, said: “We see the award of the Albatros project as a recognition by our Clients of our continuous strive for efficiency and synergies in the execution of projects. Our presence in Germany also strengthens our relationships with all our German partners and as offshore foundation specialist we are proud to support Siemens in the entry to the German offshore wind market with the Siemens Offshore Transformer Module (OTM). The Albatros contract gives continuity to our project portfolio in Germany and will be handled by our local project team of experts from our regional offices in Bremen”.

The first thought that came to mind for me when hearing "from away" was the stream of correspondence that would flow between loved ones parted. This created a perfect opportunity to use family letters, not just for content but for the beauty of the design patterns of the handwritten form. The floating letters and figures are like a palimpsest of personal history.

CCC improved Itasca State Park [UPDATED]Published 4:18am Monday, June 3, 2013 Updated 6:20am Monday, June 3, 2013
Those of us who love Itasca State Park owe a lot to the young men who labored 80 years ago this summer as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).
The program was initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the goal to provide jobs related to the conservation and development of rural lands owned by federal, state and local governments.
At Itasca Park the CCC crews hauled 40,000 cubic yards of fill to create a 44-foot dam topped with stepping stones across the headwaters of the Mississippi River.
The Old Timer’s Cabin became one of the first CCC-built state park structures. The cabin was constructed of logs so large that just four of them made an entire wall.
Our family visited Itasca State Park on Memorial Day.
As in years past, one quickly comes to appreciate the work and perseverance of the CCC crews who labored 80 years ago and in succeeding years. A CCC celebration is planned at the park the third week in June.
By June 1933, CCC projects at Itasca State Park were off and running, along with projects at other locations across Minnesota.
Men also were at work at various places in Otter Tail County. The CCC was in operation until 1942.
Each CCC camp was located in the area of conservation work to be performed. Up to 200 civilian enrollees comprised a company unit.
“Enrollees got right to work,” wrote Edward Barber who was responsible for many of the state park facility designs. “They removed unneeded or undesirable structures, built new park structures, cleared lakes and ponds, improved beaches, landscaped the grounds, and developed campgrounds, picnic grounds, overlooks and parking areas.”
If you visit Itasca State Park this summer, two must-see areas of the park are directly linked to CCC work that took place 80 years ago. The first and logical place is the headwaters, visited by thousands of people each summer.
As noted at an informational kiosk at the headwaters, the 1930s CCC project was a seven-foot wide concrete piling and rock dam constructed at the outlet of Lake Itasca. This stabilized the flowage. In the words of project planners, this also “made for a beautiful site at the start of the Mississippi River.”
Another crew placed a log corduroy in the river channel at the headwaters, in 1933. Six years later, in 1939, the outlet structure was reinforced with concrete and steel.
My second recommendation is to take the boardwalk for a 10-minute walk to the Old-Timers cabin. The boardwalk starts a short distance, down the hill, from Douglas Lodge.
A panoramic view awaits you as you take the steps down the hill, from the lodge atop the hill.
I think of this area, near Douglas Lodge, as a memorial and tribute to the late Ken Berg of Fergus Falls. Many of us from Fergus Falls and other parts of Otter Tail County have loved Itasca State Park, but none more than Ken. He worked as an artist at Otter Tail Power Company.
The development of recreational facilities in the park began in 1905 with the construction of Douglas Lodge, the first rustic style building in the state park system.
Twelve more rustic style buildings were later added to Itasca State Park.
With the rustic style already firmly established, the federal work programs of the 1930s continued the tradition when they began large-scale recreational development in Itasca Park. Development was undertaken by two CCC camps as well as two WPA camps.
Architects for this development were from the Minnesota Central Design Office of the National Park Service.
Log construction was generally used because timber was easily available in the area. Established in 1891, Itasca is Minnesota’s oldest state park. The park is located about 20 miles north of Park Rapids.
CCC workers have a lasting legacy at Itasca State Park.

Knight's Armament SR-47
- Type: Assault rifle
- Caliber: 7.62x39mm M43 Soviet
- Weight (empty): 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) .
- Length: 28.5 in (72.4 cm) collapsed / 32.5 in (82.6 cm) with extended buttstock.
- Capacity: 30 (40 if using RPK magazine)
- Fire Modes: Semi-Auto / Full-Auto
Originally a contender (and eventual winner) of the Special Purpose Receiver - Variant (SPR-V) program. It was originally designed to be a drop-in set of parts that could convert the M16 rifle or M4 carbine in the field to feed 7.62x39mm ammunition from captured Kalashnikov-system magazines. The resulting item, if approved, would have been added to the SOPMOD kit. The eventual development process revealed that the resulting receiver would be too big to be a separate parts kit, so the requirement was changed to a dedicated weapon system called the Special Purpose Rifle - Variant.
Only seven prototypes were ever made - six for field testing by a SEAL team and one example for the firearms collection in Knight Armament's museum. The weapon was never adopted as a standard or special issue item and a proposed SR-74 version chambered for 5.45x39mm failed to be approved. Major flaws in the concept behind the weapon may have been to blame. Unlike American and allied forces, enemy ammunition used corrosive primers. This would damage the barrel and gas system if not regularly cleaned after use. The weapon would also have to use magazines picked up off of enemy combatants. These might be old, badly worn, or even damaged from improper handling and may not be as reliable as their issued magazines.
The Knight's Armament SR-47 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

I’ve been commuting to work from Mpls – St Paul (year round) for the last 2 years. I am very fortunate to have a bike lane and bike paths for most of my commute. This bike lane down summit avenue is used by hundreds of bikers every day and motorist are very aware of bikers.
Before considering commuting to work – I researched the safety issue of riding with cars and found the below site. Most folks think that the most important safety equipment is a helmet. They would be wrong. Read & Memorize the top 10 ways to get killed on your bike in traffic. It may save your life. And as the article indicated – follow all of the laws of the road.
I’m not sure I’m a biker. Sure, I did all of Ragbrai in 2012, and rode a day last year too, but other than that my biking is mostly occasional, seldom recreational, and often simply to get to and from work. I have a path for most of my commute and wouldn’t consider riding on the road if I didn’t have this. While drivers are generally nice enough around here I don’t believe in interfering with them – and as slow as I ride, I would be. Add-on bike lanes don’t solve anything. They create more driver anger because now the formerly two-lane road is now one. My wife encountered a new bike lane on her way to work, and has yet to see a single bike on it.
What we really need is to tear down all our cities and rebuild them with cement-partitioned bike lanes. Someplace safe for bikes and that don’t slow down car traffic.
There’s an interesting article here that puts forth the position that we had a usable and workable system, one that had proven itself over countless centuries, but in our mad rush to exalt the automobile we scrapped it and created places like Levittown — vast subdivisions of winding roads, cul-de-sacs with cutesie names like “Cricket Crap Circle”, massive houses, huge driveways, and no sidewalks so the only way to get around was by personal automobile. Fast forward 50-70 years, and the short-sightedness of this is now becoming glaringly apparent.

13 APRIL 2020
Today would have been our first big open day of the year. The temperature is much lower than yesterday and there is a cold wind, but the sun still shines. We have prepared videos to post during the times that the garden would have been open (2-5pm). This is to give people who are interested in the garden and might have visited, a ‘virtual tour’. To our delight people do start to like them. I am feeling more rested today because Meave and Diane very kindly slept in the Annexe last night, and I slept in my own bed (only the 2nd time since January!). I had to re-join them very early, but it was brilliant to have a decent nights sleep! I start my day by planting out some alstroemerias that I’ve been nurturing for some time, and then turn my attention to the potato beds. I do get slightly distracted by the pond on the way where I spotted two creatures that I think are dragonfly nymphs which is exciting.
But getting back to potatoes I have waylaid Meave as a helper… if I don’t get in quick, everyone is taken away on the ‘big’ projects. I suppose creating a ‘paradise garden’ does sound much more exciting than weeding a raised bed in preparation for planting potatoes…however, you cannot eat ‘paradise gardens’ and we might need these potatoes the way things are going! I always need a lot of space for potatoes as I’m planting about 12 varieties and the main crops and late main crops need more space – 2 rows in a raised bed rather than 3 with the 1st and 2nd earlies and early main crop. The weeding is fiddly because some things are being left in e.g Californian poppies around the edge of the beds to be part of the companion planting, and there is also some curled and flat leaved parsley that is still doing well, some chicory and chard and a permanent planting of bronze fennel. When the beds are clear they will need a good soak and plenty of compost added, then I can plant!
Patrick continues with the seats in the paradise garden (which is on top of the vine mount). He decides the tops of them should be plain and not tiled, which I agree with. James and later Aideen continue adding mosaic tiles to the floor and Diane starts putting hardcore into the new path.
I decide that the ‘lockdown’ has shown what I always suspected, that I am completely happy staying inside Church Gardens and not ‘going out’. It is like a beautiful oasis, I am with my family, we all have plenty to occupy us (normally we all work so hard that it is difficult to find time to fit everything in!) and I can be in the garden every day, if it wasn’t for coronavirus it would be perfect and if I am unlucky enough to succumb to the virus, I can sincerely say I was happy at the end of my life… sorry to be depressing! I am acutely aware of how lucky we are, because spending time outside is crucial to getting through this scary situation. This must be taken on board by future planning for housing – people need outdoor space and they should not be living in the sky and if they have to be in a flat, they should have the option of an allotment or at least a balcony.
At the end of the day I pick a massive bowl of spinach to make a spinach and potato curry to accompany the chicken in coriander and I thank God for our good fortune.

This last weekend while I was attending the Reedy Race I got a message from a long time friend that said you need to check FaceBook. There was an obscure post that basically said RIP Roy Caster with no info….Immediately we started making calls looking for info. Personally I was in shock and disbelief as Roy had just texted me within the last week. Unfortunately the worst had truly happened Roy was gone… As I sit here writing this I still cannot believe I will never see him again.
Roy and I lived only 2 streets away from each other and never knew it until our love of RC racing brought us together in 1986 racing in a tiny backyard track in 1000 Palms. Roy and I quickly struck up a friendship revolving around RC. Between the late 80’s and early 90’s Roy and I logged more miles together racing virtually every night at a different track around SoCal. It really didn’t matter what type of racing either. 1/10th 1/8th, Nitro, Electric Onroad, Offroad we did it. We had another thing in common and that was gift of Painting.
Both Roy and I painted our own RC car Bodies but many of other RC racers too. Each of us started are own RC Painting Biz… Mine Rugspin Graphix….His Bully Bodywerks.
Roy had a love for the sport and was always willing to help anyone in need at the track. Over the last few years he raced less but traveled more with his wife Beth. He was finally in a place to enjoy some of what Life had to offer doing Travel, Jeeping and anything fun he wanted to do. Like I said he texted me just this last week to see if I could paint for someone as he was doing some travel, little did I know this would be the last time we talked.
Roy left us doing what he loved….something fun. While snorkeling he suffered a catastrophic brain aneurysm. I think to myself it’s not fair, why do the good ones always have to die? We have no idea when our time is up and well Roy lived each day enjoying every min of life and doing as much as he could to have a good time.
Roy I’ll miss you buddy…..
So the wife and I made trip out to Tamiya America yesterday for the 2017 Reedy Touring Car Race of Champions….. The facility never looked better with the new surface that they recently put in…
The reedy format is interesting as every round of heads up racing counts. This is a pure test of man and machine. The racing is tight as the Tamiya track is probably one of the smallest tracks that most of these guys race on. Many of the top guys are hear some with new rides for 2017.
We stayed a short time just to watch one of the Invitational rounds. Afterward traffic looked pretty bad on the 5 Freeway or Parking-Lot…..So we decided to take our time and do a little site seeing. Its been a while since I’ve driven up the PCH around Laguna and I couldn’t believe how clear it was all the way to Catalina Island. You could even see another Island past it.
Well we decided to stop in Laguna and take a walk down to the tide pools out by Bird Rock. We saw tons of little crabs and small fish in them. The funniest part was one of the bigger crabs was chasing around the little guys then Farted…Reminded me of what Captain Phil from Deadliest Catch use to say about finding Crab when he smelled Crab Farts…
Anyways stay tuned to www.rugspingraphix.com or www.facebook.com/rugspingraphix for all the race action this weekend from the Reedy Race of Champions
Well Today I tagged along with Gerardo and Robert from Proline to check out Ricochet Raceway (Click Link for Facebook Page) while they were doing a Video shoot for carpet tire for 1/10th scale.. I had heard about this track down at the bottom of California just miles from the Mexican Border but hadn’t had the chance to check it out yet.
It’s a really cool place in more ways than one. First off it had Air Conditioning….Let me say coming from Palm Springs this is everything during the summer time, I mean what more could you want while racing during the hot summer?
2nd it has a full-blown trampoline park inside with food concessions, meeting rooms, banquet rooms, everything you could want under one roof.
The track is nestled in a corner of the building with its own entrance. Inside was a very nice track, pit tables and a well stocked hobby shop. The track is carpet which seems to be a trend these days and the layout was really fun too. Ricochet makes the most of the space they have with the layout which consisted of a crossover and a wall ride…Wall ride was way cool….
Anyways I kinda played grip for the day helping Robert with some of his shots. After we were done with the shoot I got to wheel Gerardo’s Associated 2wd around the track. Being a OnRoad carpet racer I felt right at home with the buggy other than the jumps that I kept messing up on…… Remember OnRoad is flat.
I loved the fact that this facility has so much crossover interaction. During our short time at the track we had a wall of kids from the Trampoline Park section of the facility looking through the windows checking out what we were doing with lots of Ooohs and aahhs. Ricochet say’s on any given race day that the whole side of the track is filled with onlookers. What a great way to get more people into the sport. They said they also provided rental vehicles to anyone that is interested. I wish more tracks had this kind of exposure and opportunity to bring new people into our sport.
I want to thank Proline Racing for the opportunity to tag along today and to Ricochet for the hospitality.
Well here we go….I’ve been working hard on my website making lots of changes and will have something soon to show you all..
Keep checking to see whats going on.

New waves of COVID infections are crashing into a health care system whose workers are at a breaking point — if not already past it.
Why it matters: Hospital workers have had little relief from COVID over the past two years. And that burned-out, dispirited workforce is again being overwhelmed by surges from Delta, while facing the specter of yet another wave from Omicron.
“We’re facing a national emergency,” said Rick Pollack, CEO of the American Hospital Association.
Antibiotic Prescriptions Associated With COVID-19 Outpatient Visits Among Medicare Beneficiaries, April 2020 to April 2021
Outpatient Visits for COVID-19 and Associated Antibiotic Prescriptions Among Medicare Beneficiaries Aged 65 Years or Older, by Setting, US, April 2020 to April 2021. The volume of COVID-19 visits differed by setting: emergency department, 525 608 (45.8% of all visits); office, 295 983 (25.3%); telehealth, 260 261 (22.3%); and urgent care, 77 268 (6.6%).

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi was lauded by Canadians for his handling of the Calgary floods earlier this year.
We he be celebrated for this?
According to the Globe and Mail, Nenshi slammed Quebec's Parti Quebecois government, on Sunday, for its proposed Values Charter which will reportedly ban public employees from wearing religious symbols in public institutions.
Speaking to a crowd of thousands at the downtown end point for Calgary’s 23rd annual Pride parade, Mr. Nenshi referenced “a certain part of this country” and a national debate about “how people should be restricted from certain jobs because of their religious faith.”
The [Quebec values] charter is “an absolute violation not just of Canadian morals and ethics, but of what has made our country successful. If we are not able to attract the very best people from around the world to want to work and learn and invest and raise families in this country, we don’t have a future as a country,” he said.
“It is important for people across Canada, and particularly in Quebec, to know that if they don’t feel welcome in that community, they’re certainly welcome in this one,” he added.
Nenshi is just the latest politician to criticize the PQ government's plan which is expected to be introduced in Quebec's National Assembly this month.
And, on Thursday, Prime Minister Harper said that he will withhold judgement but will want to assure that the secularization plan, once made public, will uphold the fundamental rights of Canadians.
While the charter has spurred controversy across the country, it seems to have buoyed the PQ in the opinion polls.
According to the Le Devoir, a new Leger poll released on Saturday claims that the governing party is just 4 percentage points behind the opposition Liberals: the Liberals have 36 (-2) per cent support while the PQ sit at 32 (+5) per cent.
The Leger poll supports the findings of a Forum Research poll, from last week, that suggested that 58 per cent of Quebecers actually support the Values Charter.
And, for those that don't: they now have the 'option' to move to Calgary.

As our loved ones grow old and caring for them becomes a daunting, often unapproachable challenge, sometimes the need for a nursing home becomes unavoidable. The senior population of Oklahoma City, for instance, is more than 10 percent of the total, requiring a vast infrastructure of senior care homes, and unfortunately, even with the oversight of qualified professionals, seniors in the U.S. remain the most vulnerable people to all forms of abuse.
Whether physical, emotional, sexual, financial, or neglectful in nature, some estimates conclude that one in 10 seniors over the age of 60 have been victims of nursing home abuse. That’s more than five million victims in the U.S. This is a rampant epidemic, yet the problem at its core is identifying when abuse is happening. Identifying and reporting abuse go hand-in-hand; where it remains invisible, it is not reported, and where it is not reported, it remains invisible.
8 Reasons Nursing Home Abuse Can Be Hard to Detect
1. Abuse Is Often Invisible
When we think of what abuse entails, it invokes scenes of unmistakable mistreatment and violence. Yet the unfortunate reality of the nature of abuse is nuanced, complex, and often invisible. Loved ones, friends, staff members, and fellow residents may not even be aware that the abuse is happening, and for a multitude of different reasons. Abuse goes beyond the use of violence and excessive force.
Sexual assault and negligence are two equally common, and equally heart-breaking, forms of abuse that nursing home residents might find themselves subjected to. Bruises and injuries resulting from violence can be hidden by the abuser, sexual mistreatment is both a difficult subject to broach and wrapped up in negative feelings of shame or embarrassment, and neglect can often fly under the radar as a particularly insidious type of exploitation.
2. Abusers Know How to Hide Their Actions
Not all mistreatment is intentional. Yet, regardless of whether it results from malice or neglect, abusers are very good at hiding their actions. Most abusers are repeat offenders, having likely done so before. They know who their most vulnerable residents are, when their colleagues are on shift, and who among them will look the other way. They pick their victims carefully, engaging in abuse when there are no witnesses around to notice, or nobody around to care.
In the aftermath, they will cover up their actions, hiding injuries or attributing them to pre-existing illnesses and playing down complaints should a victim speak out. They have first-hand knowledge of how their colleagues tick, and prime-time access to them to offer their version of events. An abuser can even make subtle suggestions about a patient’s demeanor or mental wellbeing that call into question the very times they do speak out against their abuser.
3. Seniors May Not Report Their Abuse
Seniors are adults, and a regrettable reality of nursing homes is that they are often wrapped up in the emotional turmoil of receding independence. Loved ones have known them all their lives, still thinking of them as being wholly capable of fending for themselves. However, many abused seniors will not report their abuse, for many of the reasons found on this list. To make matters worse, abusers are well-aware of this fact and will exploit it.
Therefore, it falls on a senior’s families and loved ones to remain vigilant and look for the signs of abuse themselves. Unreported abuse cannot be investigated.
4. Shame and Embarrassment May Hinder Abuse Reporting
Feelings of shame or discomfort can severely reduce the rates of abuse reporting. Particularly in the case of sexual abuse, victims may feel guilt or shame at the events that took place and not report what happened, even though the resident did nothing wrong. In the matter of financial abuse, residents may feel embarrassed that somebody took advantage of them against their will.
Ultimately, the negative emotions that surround abuse lower the likelihood of the abuse being reported.
5. Nursing Home Residents May Fear Retaliation
Speaking out against abuse is about more than the shame associated with it. The abusers are not only those staff charged with the care of the residents they abuse, but they are also the people the residents are in contact with the most. An abused senior will probably see their abuser every day. This only deepens the fear of retaliation for speaking up.
The abuse that is already taking place is distressing enough without the risk of antagonizing the abuser further. What if, an abused resident must ask themselves, the report of abuse takes too long to act upon? What if nothing changes for the better, and the resident has only angered their abuser further? Fears such as these make a topic that is hard to talk about harder still.
6. Medical Conditions Complicate Matters
In all probability, nursing home residents are already suffering from one or more medical ailments. Many of these conditions only serve to confuse matters. Seniors who suffer from dementia may already be agitated, and families might attribute agitation or unrest as side effects of their pre-existing condition and not as cries for help against abuse.
Those who struggle with balance and coordination might be prone to falling, allowing for easy explanations of bruises and other harm. In many cases, medical conditions allow for suspicious injuries or accusations to slip off an abuser like water off a duck’s back.
7. Nursing Homes Are Understaffed
Neglect as a form of abuse comes in many forms. Ultimately, though, it is a reduced quality of life that stems from inattentive or inadequate care. It is no secret that nursing homes are chronically under-funded and understaffed across the country. This workforce of underpaid and overworked staff is a vicious cycle that only increases the prevalence of neglect.
Many staff members simply don’t have the time they need to offer proper care, so cut corners and overlooked needs are not uncommon. To make things worse, with fewer staff with time on their hands, there are fewer potential witnesses and points of contact to report malicious abuse that may go on in addition to neglect – and a lack of personnel means that those unfortunate residents who are abused intentionally may have nobody else to turn to.
8. Nursing Homes Have Motive to Under-Report Abuse
As should be obvious by now, one of the biggest issues conflating the problem of nursing home abuse is its difficulty to detect and persistent under-reporting. Like many other medical institutions, nursing homes are, theoretically at least, subject to oversight bodies and inspections. No nursing home wants to harm its reputation or potential for outside financial assistance – so the motive to under-report abuse is very tangible.
Abuse comes in many forms and the biggest hurdle facing loved ones, family members, nursing home managers, and the seniors who are abused themselves, is one of detection. Abuse is wrapped up in a host of mixed emotions, and abusers know how to keep a low profile. Those they abuse, whether intentionally or by neglect, are some of society’s most vulnerable citizens, which only makes the abuse all the worse.
Therefore, families and loved ones must keep a watchful eye out for the signs of abuse, and be ready to act upon it should it be taking place. Nothing less will do when it comes to the care and wellbeing of our senior citizens.

Clinton pledges that no family pays more than 10 percent of income on child care
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Hillary Clinton pledged Tuesday that as president she will ensure that families pay no more than 10 percent of their income on child care, a significant and rising cost for working parents.
"It just doesn't make sense," Clinton said of the cost of quality care for young children and the difficulties faced by working parents. "It's the most important job that any of us can do, and we're making it really hard and really expensive."
The Democratic presidential front-runner's campaign said the proposed mix of federal subsidies or tax credits to pay for the new benefit will be announced later. Clinton will also propose raising wages for child-care workers and expanding home-visit programs for new parents.
"Secretary Clinton is acutely aware that the middle class is extremely stretched when it comes to affording quality childcare," campaign policy adviser Ann O'Leary said in a statement. "While middle-class wages have stagnated in the last decade, costs of childcare have gone up by nearly 25 percent."
Clinton wants "substantial new investments" in federal subsidies for lower-income families and tax breaks for middle-class families to meet the goal of limiting costs to 10 percent of family income, O'Leary said.
The Clinton campaign said the monthly cost of sending two children to a quality child-care center is higher than the average cost of rent in every state. In a majority of states, the cost of infant care is higher than the tuition at public universities, the campaign statement claimed.
Clinton referred to some of those statistics during a discussion with young working parents at a social services center in Lexington that offers subsidized day care. She endorsed several of the approaches and services offered in the bright, cheerful preschool classroom.
"I'm looking for good ideas" that can serve as national models, she said.
Clinton visited a healthcare center in Louisville later Tuesday and was holding an evening rally.
Kentucky holds its Democratic primary on May 17. While polling is scant, rival Sen. Bernie Sanders is favored in the state. Losses this month, including an expected defeat in the West Virginia primary on Tuesday, would slightly erode Clinton's lead over Sanders but not change the overall dynamic that all but ensures she will be the nominee.
Clinton's focus on family services and the cost of child care may have less to do with Sanders and more to do with taking a policy-heavy high road against likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
On Monday, she talked about schools, child care and family budgets with a small group of invited guests at a coffee shop in suburban Loudoun County, Virginia, a swing county in a key swing state.
The settings and topics are meant to contrast Clinton's experience and problem-solving approach with what her campaign calls Trump's thin credentials and skimpy proposals. Campaign aides and Clinton allies are slamming the presumptive Republican nominee hourly, but Clinton herself is seeking to stay out of the mud six months before the election.
On Monday, she deflected reporters' questions about whether it is fair or appropriate for Trump to raise the issue of former president Bill Clinton's infidelity.
"I'm going to let him run his campaign however he chooses," she said in Virginia. "I'm going to run my campaign, which is about a positive vision for our country with specific plans that I think will help us solve problems that we're facing."
Also Tuesday, Clinton planned to propose a program to help fund higher wages for child-care workers, whose wages often remain low despite the overall high cost of child care in institutional settings. The program, like one she has proposed for caregivers for the elderly and disabled, would fund and reward states for helping raise caregiver wages.
She was also proposing home-visit services for more than 2 million parents and young children over the next 10 years to improve maternal and child health and children's development and learning. Her campaign said Clinton wants to double federal investment in "evidence-based" home-visit programs in which social workers or nurses provide instruction, tips and resources.

Great Children’s Books For Kids and Teens
Children’s books are one of the best selling book types today. Literally thousands of different themed book lists exist – some on practical, educational topics, and others simply pure fun lists aimed at children. We’re happy to investigate new lists as long as you let us know where we can find them. And if you do not see your favorite list, let us know.
The top kids’ books are all based around children’s favorite subjects, and often related topics such as animals, dinosaurs, and color. Most kids’ books are illustrated with hand-drawn illustrations, providing rich life scenes that stimulate kids’ imaginations. Many are full of word-painted flowers, candy canes, and other colorful items that will keep children amused for hours. There are even kids books online that have pictures of dinosaurs and other animals in them.
Other top kids’ book subjects include dinosaurs, princesses, and sports. The most popular Disney book for children is a picture book entitled “The Little Mermaid.” The next most popular book for this holiday season is a book about “The Little Match Girl.” Both books are filled with page-turning adventure and humor. Disney characters are also a popular subject for children’s books.
Some of the most popular books for young children include “Goodnight Moon” by Margret Wise Brown, and “Big Little, Quiet Loud” by L.J. Smith. The animal books for kids are also popular. Animals make great stories, and kids tend to love animals. The most popular of these books is “Kitten’s First Full Moon Party.” The book is full of funny images, and a kitty cat named Buzzy is among the main characters.
Another category of books for kids is religious books. These are a bit more specific than the books for kids that you might be familiar with. Many kids’ books focus on a religion or faith. One example is “God is Watching You!” by Kevin Dunn.
Another very popular book for children’s ages is a book on “asinophytosis.” This is an interesting book that shows how plants are able to recognize a person who has come back from the dead. Kids will learn the many ways plants and animals can distinguish between living people and the dead.
There are many more books for kids, which have been on the best-seller lists year after year. Many of these books are bestsellers, but some others have managed to find a niche for themselves. These include Christian kids’ books as well as more secular books. Many of the best sellers in the Christian kids’ books club each year are extremely popular, with kids reading them repeatedly.
As you can see, there is a huge market for Christian kids’ books, both in print and on CD. Christian kids’ books not only teach, they entertain and encourage kids to become better readers. They provide ideas for stories that kids will enjoy and be motivated to learn more by reading them. It’s really no wonder that Christian kids’ books are so much in demand! If you’re looking for a great Christian book to read with your kids, start with a book on “asinophytosis” or any other topic of your kids would enjoy.
One of the most popular children’s books written recently is The Great Railway Scandals by Michael Crichton. This fun kids’ book tells the story of how a boy named Rob got his face plastered with graffiti, his best friend getting killed, and the whole town being under suspicion. With a good plot, lots of adventure and a great plot line, The Great Railway Scandals is definitely worth a read. As with any good kids’ book, though, it should be age appropriate.
Another great kids’ book for kids is Rainbow’s Backyard by Lisa Patricelli. This picture book is similar to the earlier book about the boy with the graffiti covered face, but with a twist. The main character in this book is Lisa, a girl who lives on an alien planet where everyone looks like an orange. This book is a fun read with Lisa struggling to understand what’s going on and cope with all the new people she meets.
Looking for more kids’ books for kids? How about books about dinosaurs or space shuttles? Or how about a book about space adventures? There are plenty of kids’ books for kids out there that deal with the subject of space and it’s not hard to find them. A book such as Space Away by Eric Brown is a perfect book for kids to read before they head off to college or maybe even after they get out of school. It takes kids into a new world of space and it introduces them to the wonders of the universe through a series of illustrations.
Finally, it’s not a bad idea to take a look at some kids’ books written by a famous kid writer. For example, if you’re looking for a kids’ book about pirates, you might want to look at A Captain’s Man by Stephen Charnas. This is a fantastic book about pirates, and it’s written just for kids. It’s full of cute stories and illustrations that will make your kids smile, and at the end of the day, that’s all any of us want for our children!

Shamika Innocent "Freda Henderson" I am 21 years old born on September 15 in the city of Coral Springs, Fl. I've been singing since I was nine years old and love to act. I graduated from Deerfield Beach High school and had hopes of pursuing my acting career at UCLA. Yet God saw a different plan for my life and so therefore went on to study criminal justice. I've been studying criminal justice for the past two years; yet still had hopes of an acting career. My life has changed starting in the month of Oct 2012 I was discovered by Khalilah Camacho-Ali on the tri-rail; not knowing who she was we immediately clicked and became close like mother and daughter. She later on told me who she was and I immediately stayed connected on a more cinematic level. She saw so much potential in me to the point where invited me to an audition. From the audition I landed the leading role of Freda Henderson. From there MY acting career has soared. My main goal is not only to pursue my acting career but to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Daby Touré returns in 2015 with a phenomenal new album on Cumbancha and a renewed creative energy. Based in Paris, France, Touré hails originally from Mauritania with family roots in Senegal. While his father and uncles formed the pioneering Afropop band Toure Kunda, Touré has always followed his own music path, with influences ranging from African folk melodies and desert blues, to jazz, pop, reggae, funk and soul. Blessed with an open mind and an explorer’s spirit, Tourés catchy songs are as likely to appeal to fans of African stars Habib Koité and Youssou N’Dour as they are to followers of Bob Marley, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder.
A marvelous lyricist, composer of accessible melodic hooks, endearing performer and virtuoso guitarist, Daby Touré reaches deeply into the hearts of listeners with his approachable and unique style of music. Touré’s latest album Amonafi promises to bring his appealing songs, virtuoso musicianship and endearing personality to ever-wider audiences.

Conclave by Robert Harris
In the near future, the Pope has died in his sleep, and Cardinal Jacopo Lomeli, Dean of the College of Cardinals, must lead the conclave of cardinals to select a new pope. Once the conclave begins, the cardinals under the age of 80 eat and sleep at the Casa Santa Marta and vote by secret ballot in the Sistine Chapel, secluded from the outside world. Lomeli welcomes 117 cardinals, worrying about the homily he must preach the next day, only to meet Vincent Benitez, secretly named Cardinal and Archbishop of Baghdad by the pope. This might not sound like an exciting book, but it is an absorbing thriller that is hard to put down, with an ever intensifying pace, with hints of violence in the outside world, as the cardinals have trouble reaching a two-thirds majority in the early ballots. The beautiful paintings by Michelangelo contrast strongly with the humble rooms at the guesthouse and the mediocre food served by nuns in blue habits. Lomeli is investigating some of the leading contenders, hoping to avoid future scandals. There are a lot of characters, but Harris focuses on just a few. Tedesco is an Italian traditionalist, favoring a return to mass in Latin. Tremblay is an ambitious French Canadian who met with the Pope a few hours before his death. Bellini, the Vatican Secretary of State, is the solid liberal choice, while conservative African Adeyemi has a chance to become the first black pontiff. In the first ballot, Lomeli is surprised when he gets a few votes, as he has always been a manager, never a pastor, and has been having trouble praying and sleeping. Also, the unknown Benitez gets a vote. The author is best known for his books about World War II and Imperial Rome; I thought his novel Pompeii was very interesting. If you’re looking for a fast-paced, satisfying thriller with little violence, this is an excellent choice.

USP’s Medicine Supply Map - the first of its kind in the world - enhances visibility into the upstream medicines supply chain to help governments, manufacturers, distributors, and providers identify and address vulnerabilities, lessen quality risks, reduce the frequency and duration of potential drug shortages, and protect patients.
“USP’s Medicine Supply Map is an early-warning system for possible drug shortages, whether due to global health crises, natural disasters, geopolitical events, or quality-related issues in manufacturing.”- Vimala Raghavendran, Senior Director, USP Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Center
Policymakers are increasingly focused on addressing risks and vulnerabilities in pandemic preparedness infrastructure. The Medicine Supply Map leverages insights derived from the use of USP quality standards in more than 22 thousand locations around the world, spanning 92 percent of generic medicines approved in the U.S. It aggregates more than 40 external datasets and 250 million data points to quantify risk and resilience in the upstream pharmaceutical supply chain.
The Medicine Supply Map provides insights on supply chain vulnerabilities to drive decision-making.
Pinpoint supply chain risks
Leveraging multiple data sources, the Medicine Supply Map helps identify, characterize, and quantify risk factors to help guard against over-reliance on over-concentrated sources, reduce disruptions, and build resilience.

Flume – Low head dam installation effects on coarse sediment transport, medium shot
As the clip opens you see shallow flow with uniform bedmaterial transport throughout. A small low head wier or dam is installed. This produces deep subcritical flow above the dam and critical flow over it. Below the dam we see supercritical flow.
The deeper, low velocity flow above the dam cannot move the coarse bedload (Q = VA, and since A is greatly increased and Q is unchanged above the dam, V is greatly decreased) and we see deposition occur until depth is shallow enough (and A small enough) that the increase in V moved bedload again. Deposition occurs to the top of the dam.
When the dam is installed, we see a classic disruption in sediment transport continuity. Coarse transport essentially ceases through the dam until deposition builds a higher streambed. Sediment is blown out below the dam (often scoured to bedrock in the real world) This is the well known "hungry water" effect seen below dams.
At low-water crossings in the Missouri Ozarks, many of which are essentially low dams, we often see this condition, manifested as a wide, sediment-filled channel with low banks upstream of the bridge. This contrasts with a deep, scoured channel below, sometimes with high, unstable banks.
At the end of the demonstration, the downstream gate is lowered and a hydraulic jump appears which is then drowned as stage increases. The depositional dune and slipface then move past the dam. The gate is then raised somewhat, allowing a jump to reform and sediment is blown out below the dam.

There are many people who get paid vast amounts of money to become the CEO of a company, play professional sports, or star in a movie. Earning a high active income is often a lot of hard work and requires a dedication beyond most of us. It’s also limited because no matter how much money you get paid you still need to show up to work to earn your money.
Let’s say you just decided to sign up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® card. Once you had the card in hand, you could begin using it for purchases and earning cash back for every swipe. For every dollar you spend on regular purchases, you’ll get 1 percent back in the form of rewards. For dining and travel purchases, on the other hand, you’ll score a smooth 2 percent back.
I also noticed that in your passive income chart at the bottom that you don’t include your internet income other than sales from your book. Is there a reason for that? Do you not consider is passive because you are actively blogging all the time to create it? Or do you just not want readers to know how much money you generate from blogging activities?
I have a total of three CDs left. There is no way in hell I’m selling them after holding them for 4+ years so far to take the penalty. The CDs are for 7 years. That would be completely counterproductive. As a result, I feel very stuck with ever getting my CD money back if I wanted to. If the CDs were for just 1 or 2 years, I agree, it doesn’t matter as much. But combine a 7 year term with 4%+ interest is too painful to give up.
“There is no such thing as 100% passive income,” says Flynn. “Even with real estate you still have to manage your properties, or even with the stock market, which is potentially passive income, you still have to manage your portfolio. With online business, there is no such thing as 100% passive income — and this is coming from a guy with a blog called SmartPassiveIncome.com. The definition of passive income is ‘building these businesses of automation,’ but in order to keep them automated and keep that trust going with your audience on top of that, you do have to keep it up every once in a while — so a lot of time upfront and a little time after. But there is alway time involved.”
A perfect example of the Active Problem Solving + Automation concept is in my online courses I’ve created over the years, or my free webinars I’ve created more recently Each of my online courses and webinars are targeted to help people with specific problems, whether that’s in the area of affiliate marketing, podcasting, building a brand, and so forth. I am always improving upon the courses, but they are also evergreen for my audience.
During the trial, Karen offered proof that she and Brad had built the business together, and that the downline was the result of their joint efforts – not just Brad’s. Karen argued that the residual income from the downline should therefore be split at a 60/40 rate on a monthly basis. Brad, on the other hand, asked the trial court to value the business. Upon valuation, the court could either allow him to buy out Karen’s share or direct that the business be sold, with the proceeds being split 60/40 between the two parties.
There are a couple of problems with direct investment in real estate though. It’s expensive to buy even a single property, a minimum of tens of thousands of dollars, and there’s no way most investors can build a portfolio of different property types and in different regions to protect from those risks when you have all your money in just one or two investments.
Passive Income: This is the work you do for ends that will provide you with resources for the long-term. Even after you stop contributing to the effort, you are compensated again and again. Passive income is building your own empire to gain the kind of freedom we all dream about. Unlike active, it needs a bit more dedication and hard work up front, but all of which pays off in the end.
Residual income is different from a salary, or linear income, which is paid out strictly based on the number of hours a person works. Someone who works on a salary is often said to work “paycheck to paycheck.” This is because he pays all of his bills with his first paycheck and then must wait until he gets paid again to have more money. Ideally, someone will work hard building up a business so that he can enjoy the residual income once his goals have been met. Then he can work on additional projects while still earning money from his business.
The main advantage of the residual income metric is that it measures excess return earned by a department in absolute terms. A positive residual income means that the department has met the minimum return requirement while a negative residual income means that the department has failed to meet it. Return on investment (ROI) is another metric which measures return in relative terms.
Truebill is an app that helps you save money by identifying recurring subscriptions and other bills and helping you cut costs by negotiating better rates and fees. One of their partnerships is with Acradia Power, which has the potential to save you up to 30% on your electric bill. It searches for better power rates in areas where competition is allowed, and it locks in the better prices for you.
Basically, an affiliate connects a customer with a desired or needed product. The affiliate is responsible for marketing to drive sales to the retailer. It is best to purchase a domain name and build a user-friendly website to draw customers and convert them to purchasing the chosen product. Build interest through pay-per-click advertising, content articles about the product, and through posting on forums with a relevant website link.
Haha, that is too funny. I wanted to make an app back in the day called “MyShares” (You can probably tell how I cam up with the name at the time). The idea was that I would loan out books and DVD’s and then would never get them back. Then I thought, how cool would it be if I could rent those items out and that would motivate people to bring them back. Obviously, books and DVD’s are cheap, so this isn’t the money maker. The idea that would probably make the most money would be things like tools, ATVs, etc.
In order to generate $10,000 in Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) through a rental property, you must own a $50,000 property with an unheard of 20% net rental yield, a $100,000 property with a rare 10% net rental yield, or a more realistic $200,000 property with a 5% net rental yield. When I say net rental yield, I’m talking about rental income minus all expenses, including a mortgage, operating expenses, insurance, and property taxes.
Unfortunately, I can’t answer that conclusively one way or the other. It all depends on you, what you like to do, your work ethic, personality, etc. If you are a good writer perhaps you could write a book and make money that way. Or, you could start your own website and do affiliate marketing. Just because you are young it doesn’t mean you can’t make money doing at least a few of these ideas. I wish you luck in your money making efforts!
Another great way to get started is to identify an area of interest you have. For instance, Robert Duff has been successful in building passive income by selling books on Amazon. Then, go out and start talking to people. Ask them, “What are you struggling with right now? What are your biggest pains? What’s something you wish existed that doesn’t?” That’ll give you some ideas about where to get started.
I am 30 years old and am retired. Previously, I made a modest salary as an Army officer. I own three duplexes and a quadplex in central Texas (10 rental units in all), and each of the properties provide me with net rental yields in excess of 15%. The last deal is actually an infinite return as my partner paid the down payment in return for a 50/50 split on a property that would otherwise provide a net rental yield of 18%. The above net rental yields also factor in an excellent property management team who manages my properties while I pursue other investment opportunities. To date, I have never interacted with any of my tenants nor have I ever had to personally deal with any maintenance issues.
6. Thank you pages: When you sign up for most blogging newsletters these days you may have noticed you are often immediately directed to a thank you page that tells you to check your inbox for a confirmation link. This person has already committed to you and considers you somewhat trustworthy, so it is a great time to offer them something special to take things to the next step – a sale. Maybe you can offer a special discount on one of your paid products or secure a special discount from your favorite affiliate product related to whatever it was they just opted in for. This is often called a “tripwire.” For it to work, the offer should be inexpensive and painless. Whatever you are offering here it should be value-driven instead of a hard sell. You don’t want to run people off before you even get started. With the right tripwire, you can easily justify and offset advertising as well should you choose to run ads to your opt-in freebie at some point.
In order to build an audience, you need to have a platform. You need to have something worth following and sharing; something that’s valuable to others. And that, of course, takes time. That’s not to say you can’t build a huge audience in a short amount of time. But as much as we hear about the people who’ve succeeding at doing this, we don’t hear about the millions of others who are struggling every day to get just a few more fans and followers.
If you’ve got a book you’re itching to write, you can still go with the traditional publishing route. (We published our first book using a traditional publisher.) Whether your book is fiction or non-fiction, a publisher can help get your book into print and onto shelves in both online and traditional book stores. This is still a good route, although it may take more work and be more expensive than some other options.
The churn rate of downlines is only exceeded by the churn rate of customers (that aren’t already participating in the MLM of course). Sure, Aunt Mary may give you an initial sale just to get you started, but eventually even she stops buying. But those few sales, plus the other expenses MLMs charge their reps, is enough to sustain the corporation. However, this system is only sustainable if the rep force continues to turnover.
Thanks for writing this Mr. Samurai. I just got over the student loan hump but I feel pretty good about it at 27 having a graduate degree and being 100% debt free. Now that I’m on the other side it is good for my brain to absorb some of your knowledge regarding passive income investments. I love gleaning wisdom from older folks who have been there and done that. Mentors rock!

The third one is especially important. If you get a reputation for promoting services that don’t actually help your clients, your business will not grow like it could. It’s easy to get distracted by the potential money you could make, but ultimately your focus as a business owner should be solving the problems your clients have. If you keep your eye on that, you’re going to be much more likely to succeed.
There was a time when CDs would produce a respectable 4%+ yield. Nowadays, you’ll be lucky to find a 5-7 year CD that provides anything above 2.5% The great thing about CDs is that there are no income or net worth minimums to invest, unlike many alternative investments, which require investors to be accredited. Anybody can go to their local bank and open up a CD of their desired duration. Furthermore, a CD is FDIC insured for up to $250,000 per individual, and $500,000 per joint account.
We are going to start with 1.5 years of all spending needs in cash. We will draw 1800 to 1900 per month. We will add to this from the index funds by taking a portion of the gains in good years to supplement. This is the total return portion of the equation. Obviously, if stocks decrease drastically over a 5 year period, then I would have to reload by selling some of the ETF holdings.
There’s a second downside to this model. Although I’ve done advertising and sponsorships in the past, and have made hundreds of thousands of dollars doing so, the truth is it takes a lot of time for this business model to start to generate income for you, because you need to build that audience first. In addition, what happens when you build your audience on a platform that ends up changing its algorithm, affecting how often you actually get seen by the audience you’ve built?
I had to get out. I actually had this random Facebook ad come up in my news feed (go figure) and it eventually led me to a webinar that taught on how to start an email marketing business (which is, by the way, the most profitable form of affiliate marketing – or ANY marketing for that matter). I listened through the whole 2 hours, completely mesmerized. By the end of it, I knew what I was going to be focusing on to help my family out of the pit of debt we were in and into a world free of financial stress. I didn’t know if it would actually work, but eventually it lead to EXCESS income!
You can’t start charging right off the bat without your audience knowing anything about the value you offer (though you could still indirectly earn money from them with the right ads). “The best way to go in terms of a long-term passive income business [is] delivering value and information for free, and therefore establishing expertise, knowledge and trust with your audience,” says Flynn.
In equity valuation, residual income represents an economic earnings stream and valuation method for estimating the intrinsic value of a company's common stock. The residual income valuation model values a company as the sum of book value and the present value of expected future residual income. Residual income attempts to measure economic profit, which is the profit remaining after the deduction of opportunity costs for all sources of capital.

West Windsor, N.J. – Fans of Mercer County Community College (MCCC) baseball know that the current program’s resounding success is part of a tradition of achievement that dates back decades in the competitive world of community college baseball.
Key to that legacy is former Head Coach Butch Miller, who led the Vikings for 21 seasons, from 1973 to 1993, and compiled a 508 to 263 win-loss record.
On Sunday, April 10 at 10:45 a.m., the college’s Athletics Department and baseball alumni will unveil and dedicate the Butch Miller Baseball Pavilion. The pavilion features picnic and pub tables, as well as park benches, and is located adjacent to the MCCC baseball field to afford spectators an optimal view of the action. A plaque will be placed at the edge of the area to commemorate Coach Miller’s contributions to the college and its players.

It is crappie time, and here are a dozen fishing tips
LITTLE ROCK – When spring approaches, a large segment of Arkansas anglers think of crappie.
It is true that crappie can be caught any time of the year, but spring and crappie seem to go together like ham and eggs, red beans and rice, grits and gravy. Yes, it is natural to use food analogies with the great-tasting crappie subject.
Here are a dozen suggestions from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for improving your crappie catching skills:
1. Rig up with 4-pound to 8-pound test line whether you are using a pole or a rod. The lighter the line, the easier it is to feel the bite.
2. Use a sensitive rod made out of graphite if possible. If you use a pole, go for a light one. In the spring, crappie hit very lightly so you need to be able to feel them bite. The more sensitive the pole the easier it will be to feel the bite.
3. Crappie have tender mouths and can tear easily. Use sharp hooks. When you set the hook, don’t jerk hard. Crappie are sometimes called “paper mouths” because their mouths may tear out. Set the hook with a sharp twitch. Don't set the hook like you are fishing for bass.
4. Crappie often are around weed beds for cover and to feed. As water warms up, insects begin to hatch, and small bait fish move closer to the banks. Shallow lakes with muddy bottoms warm up sooner than deep, rocky bottom lakes.
5. Considering live minnows versus jigs? Many crappie anglers say live minnows are the number one bait for spring crappie. But take some jigs as a backup. Ask a local bait shop what they are biting on today.
6. Look for drop-offs. Crappie tend to hang out at the same depth, so fish at the same depth while trolling or working this kind of structure.
7. Keep a marker buoy handy when you troll and toss it out any time you get more than one strike in a small area. If you find a hotspot, don’t anchor right over it, especially if the water is shallow. Try to anchor a good cast away from the area so the fish won’t feel invaded or spooked.
8. When you are after numbers of eating size crappie, troll with a variety of small jigs.
9. Go after big crappie with small crank baits or spinner-type lures. You may not catch many but they will likely be larger. Use a variety of colors to find out what works best on a particular day.
10. Combine a jig with a minnow hooked through the lips. This technique often turns an unproductive outing into a good one.
11. Bump the bottom. This is using a minnow with a dropper rig, meaning a swivel with one short line leading to a weight and the other to the bait. Many crappie anglers use this technique in deeper water.
12. Pay attention to the water color. Crappie usually hold shallower when the water is stained, dingy or muddy than when the water is clear.
