What best describes the party who is granting, or giving up some right to, the property?
This party is called the "Grantor" and is listed on the current deed to the property. Because there may be multiple types of Grantors, you'll enter each one at a time.
Type of Grantor:
An individual person
A married couple
A divorced couple
A trust
Who is the Grantor?
This should match the name on the current deed exactly. For example: "Vickie Diane Smith" or "ABC Properties, LLC." If you said that this Grantor is a married or divorced couple, only enter one spouse here. You'll enter the other spouse's name in the next question.
Is this Grantor married?
Even though this Grantor isn't listed as part of a married couple on the current deed, his or her marital status may affect some questions later in this document.
Who is this Grantor's spouse?
This should also match his or her name as written on the current deed.
Who will sign this Quitclaim Deed on behalf of the business?
Who will sign the Quitclaim Deed on behalf of the Trust?
Name of Trustee
What is this Grantor's address?
Enter the physical address where this Grantor actually resides. Do not enter a P.O. box address.
City/Municipality
County/Parish
Who is this Grantor's ex-spouse?
This should match his or her name as it's written on the deed. If you don't have the address handy, you can leave it blank for now and enter it after this document is complete or handwrite it later.
When did the couple get divorced?
Enter the date that the divorce was finalized.
Date of Divorce
If you were recently divorced, please enter information from your Divorce Judgment.
This is required because the property being granted is in Louisiana. You can find this information on your final Divorce Decree or Judgment or by contacting your Parish Clerk.
Court Granting Divorce
Is this Grantor's spouse deceased?
This information is required because the property is in Louisana.
When did this Grantor's spouse pass away?
Louisiana requires this information to be in the Quitclaim Deed.
Where will this Grantor sign the Quitclaim Deed?
Most states will allow Grantors to sign and notarize this Quitclaim Deed anywhere, even in a different state than the property's location. If this Grantor will be signing in a different state, though, you may want to confirm with the Clerk's Office in the county or parish where the property is located before signing and notarizing.
Where will this Grantor's ex-spouse sign the Quitclaim Deed?
County (not country)
Who will witness this Grantor signing the Quitclaim Deed?
Just to be on the safe side, certain states require that the signature be witnessed as well as notarized. This means that two people who know the signer confirm that he or she was the one who actually signed the document. If you don't have this information, you can leave it blank and fill it in when the document is signed.
What best describes the party who is being granted, or receiving rights to, the property?
This party is called the "Grantee" and will be listed on the new deed to the property. Because there may be multiple types of Grantees, you'll enter each one at a time. If the Grantee will be an individual or a married couple, select "Person."

Where will this Grantee sign the Quitclaim Deed?
This document must be notarized. Choosing the state where the Grantee signs the deed will determine the proper format for the notary section.
How will the property be held by the Grantees?
Please select one. "Tenants in Common" allows one Grantee to sell their share of the property without the other Grantee's approval, or to pass their share to their heirs, rather than to the other Grantees. Choose "Joint Tenants with the Rights of Survivorship" if the Grantees want the interest in the property to pass to the other Grantees at the time of their death. "Tenancy by the Entirety" is only available to married couples, who cannot sell their interest in the property without the consent of their spouse.

How to Use the Quitclaim Deed in South Carolina
A quitclaim deed, also called a non-warranty deed, a quitclaim deed form or a quitclaim is a legal instrument that is used in the conveyance of real property from one person (a grantor) to another (grantee), but without any warranties on the title. What this means is that when a grantor uses the quitclaim to quit all or some of their rights in property, they don't give guarantees of the existence or non-existence of other claims to that property. This deed is, therefore, common with families and other parties that trust each other.
The quitclaim is also used often because of its efficiency, which is why some people mistakenly refer to the deed as a quick claim deed.
The Difference Between Titles and Deeds
A property title is the real estate tool that gives anyone the legal rights for controlling said property. For example, a home title is an instrument that documents property ownership while a property deed is an instrument that is used in the transfer of title from one person to another. So, when selling a home or quitting your rights in your home, you need a property deed to transfer or convey the ownership of the property.
In this article, the instrument we'll focus on for property conveyance is the quitclaim deed. But first, you need to know that this deed differs from other real estate deeds like the warranty deeds used in the state. Unlike the warranty deeds, the quitclaim is the document that transfers the ownership rights in property, without giving any warranties. When in use, the grantor doesn't guarantee the grantee that there are no claims on that property. It will only convey the property rights held by the grantor at the time of the deed's execution. On the other hand, you have warranty deeds which not only transfer interests in property, but also assures the grantee that the transferred property if without liens or any other interests held by other parties.
With the absence of warranties on ownership and title in the quitclaim, it's often used in the transfer of property between families and entities that know each other well. The warranty deeds are, on the other hand, common in residential home sales.
Legal Requirements for a Quitclaim's validity
Using the quitclaim deed in South Carolina, you can transfer your rights in rental property or family home to your children and other close relatives. The deed also facilitates the transfer of property rights to a spouse or from an ex-spouse, and it could also be used for transfers to LLCs and Corporations, or in clearing clouds from a title. But before you put it to use, get your printable PDF template in the form of the free South Carolina quitclaim deed form. This form is state-specific, and it has all the sections to be filled out for the validity and execution of the deed.
But, before we look at the legal requirements of a valid quitclaim, which are main Property ownership styles?
Sole ownership – this ownership style gives exclusive ownership rights to the involved party.
Joint Tenancy – this is a form of residential property ownership where you have at least two tenants sharing an equal interest in a property. It is the most common arrangement between spouses who purchase property together. So, when the spouse passes away, their interests go to the other spouse. This happens because either spouse has a right of survivorship. This right of survivorship comes used with the quitclaim to transfer the property rights to the surviving spouse. Joint tenancy has, however, been abolished in some states.
Tenancy in common – this form of ownership comes to life when you have at least two people with interests in one piece of property. Unlike joint tenancies, a tenancy in common doesn't give the parties involved equal rights to the property.
Tenancy by entirety – this is the other common vesting, and it applies to couples who own interests to a property, as one legal entity. One of the perks of tenancy by entirety is that if one spouse is in debt, they cannot make any claims against that property unless the spouse not in debt passes away.
What makes a valid quitclaim deed in South Carolina?
A quitclaim is only deemed valid if it has the signature of the grantor, as well as signatures of at least two credible and independent witnesses. The witnesses are also required to subscribe to the quitclaim.
The grantee's details required include their full legal name and mailing address.
Unlike other states, the Deeds' Registrar doesn't need any form of derivation recites for you to process a quitclaim.
However, you must comply with the Uniform Recognition of Acknowledgement Act as described in the codes.
For conveyance of land, the quitclaim is only valid to bona fide purchasers who pay a valuable consideration and creditors without any notice. However, this is the case only if the deed's recorded with the appropriate Register of Deed's offices, where the property under conveyance is located.
For subsequent purchases, especially the ones done without any notice issued, the document that shows evidence of the conveyance or the lien has to be recorded for the holder of the document to make a claim posing as a successive purchaser or a creditor. Regarding ownership of such property, the priority goes to the party that records the deed first.

The future of philanthropy in Central Europe is bright, as was its past. Though reconnecting to the rich philanthropic culture of the past and securing its future has been a daunting task for many leaders and organizations in and outside the region in the last 15 years,[2] a variety of philanthropic institutions have emerged, initiated principally with a view to overcoming people's passivity and reliance on state provision – a legacy of the totalitarian regimes that dominated the region.
Programmes for philanthropy development, mostly with foreign donor support, promoted a new concept of philanthropy as an individual and collective free expression of care and responsibility for the well-being of individuals and communities.
Initiating a conversation on the future of philanthropy in Central Europe with my colleagues in the field was an exciting but also a challenging experience. We felt unable to transform our intuitions and fragmented extrapolations into reliable projections in the way our US colleagues have, mainly because of the paralysing lack of consistent data on the state of philanthropy in Central Europe.
Looking back 20 years
Until 1985, the region was dominated by totalitarian political regimes and planned centralized economies where the state was the biggest (in many areas, the only) employer, service provider and development agent. Not only did real philanthropy not exist, the notion was misused and discredited by the totalitarian regimes through repeated acts of 'forced volunteering' on public projects or centrally imposed collections of money for solidarity causes with people in Africa and Cuba. Since the 1990s, a new view of philanthropy has emerged, mostly promoted through projects funded by foreign donors, which sees it as an individual and collective free expression of care and responsibility for the well-being of individuals and communities.
Gradually, legislation on charitable giving, public collections, volunteering, and foundation financing was introduced and had a mostly stimulating effect in these areas. Some specific measures for increasing giving were introduced, such as the opportunity for every taxpayer to assign 1 per cent of her/his income tax to a charity. The role of the media increased, and it became truly instrumental in humanitarian and relief work. The infrastructure of the philanthropic sector also began to develop. Strong donors' associations developed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and began to emerge in Poland and Hungary, while university programmes, journals and projects fostering research and education in the field of philanthropy began to appear in some countries.
Looking forward to 2025, the most important achievement in philanthropy is the expansion of individual giving and volunteering as a result of the changed values and attitudes in all the societies of the region. The new generation have been brought up to feel their responsibility for the state of the world. Innovative methods and new communication technologies have increased individual giving. They have also changed its nature, often increasing the distance between the philanthropist and the need. The growth in individual giving and volunteering is leading to increased pressure for small but effective and transparent philanthropic intermediary institutions to interact between givers and receivers. Operating mostly at community and regional level, these provide independent input into public policy processes, and nurture the further development of philanthropy. Community foundations are one example of such institutions. They rely on small contributions from large numbers of permanent donors. Large gifts at community level are rare.
There are also a few strong and visible indigenous endowed foundations that provide resources to independent non-profit initiatives at local, national and international levels, as well as engaging in broader policy dialogue with governments and EU institutions. They are active in promoting philanthropy and attracting other rich individuals to the field. Though there is some responsible corporate philanthropy, the limitations of market responses to social needs have not been fully overcome.
The sector is larger and more professional. More associations with an active membership exist, which allows for better coordinated philanthropic action. There is more and better information available and a learning infrastructure for stakeholders that helps to expand further knowledge about the sector. There is more diversity in foundations' management and more women in leadership positions.
The rebirth of philanthropy
After the collapse of the totalitarian regimes in 1989, countries in Central Europe began a massive transition to democratic political systems, competitive market economies, and strong civil societies. An important part of this effort was to overcome the totalitarian legacy and to reconnect with democratic forms and values that existed in these countries before the Second World War. It was in this context that the development of modern philanthropy in the region began.
Since the early 1990s, a variety of philanthropic institutions have developed – relief and humanitarian aid organizations, community foundations, faith-based charitable organizations, endowed foundations, issue-based foundations and corporate foundations. Many of them were supported by foreign donors. Both foreign donors and local activists were preoccupied with democratization and the strengthening of civil society, focusing on building the capacity of individual NGOs to monitor elections, develop public policies and defend human rights, as well as building the infrastructure of the non-profit sector. Philanthropy was thus 'rediscovered' as a potential means to overcome the passivity and disconnectedness of citizens from the political process and to increase civic participation. In the early 1990s, therefore – and even probably today – philanthropy did not constitute a separate field but was closely related to civil society development.
This close link became – and continues to be – one distinctive feature of philanthropy in Central Europe and to a certain extent explains why the discussion about the future of philanthropy revolves more around people's participation than about the size of philanthropic assets.
But modern philanthropy was also seen as a 'rebirth' and 'revitalizing' of an older phenomenon, not as the introduction of something new like the many other new political, economic and social phenomena introduced from the more developed Western democracies. It was seen as a return to the normal state of societies and communities when compassion, active participation and responsibility for one's own life were strong in the relationships of people.
However, these two features of philanthropy in Central Europe – the link to civil society development and to pre-Second World War experience – have created certain tensions in the field. Some leaders and organizations wanted to bring back the values and forms of traditional philanthropy, while others wanted to see these things transformed to respond more effectively to the challenges of the modern world. A third source of pressure on the field of philanthropy was produced by the new institutional landscape, created after Central European countries' accession to the European Union (EU).
The triple challenge
Given the shortness of this article, we will not look at the changes in the political, economic, social and technological context that might affect the development of philanthropy in the next 20 years. Rather, we will look at the challenges inside the sector and how these might develop. We believe that if philanthropic values, processes and structures are in place and doing well, philanthropy itself will find ways to adapt to changes in the environment.
There appear to be three main challenges. One is how to undo the damage caused by the totalitarian regimes and revive philanthropic culture. The second is how to expand the capacities of traditional philanthropy to be able to respond to the needs of modern times. The third concerns the question of the role of philanthropy in the context of the EU.
Reviving a philanthropic culture
More than 15 years after the changes, the process of reviving the culture of philanthropy is still in its early stages, but some positive changes are noticeable. There is a very strong volunteer movement in Poland; individual giving is substantial in Slovakia at both national and community levels; responsible corporate giving is developing in the Czech Republic; positive examples of public-private partnerships exist in Hungary. There are a number of capable and active philanthropic institutions committed to rebuilding philanthropic values and attitudes.
However, we believe that it will take an entire generation to complete this process and to develop philanthropic activity on a massive scale. The hope is that in 10 to 20 years philanthropy development will not be a separate task for specific infrastructure organizations but will be a process owned and supported broadly by individuals and institutions alike.
Responding to modern needs
While there is consensus about the need to re-establish philanthropic values and behaviour, there is less agreement on what objectives, forms and functions philanthropic institutions should have. Local leaders and foreign donors who worked on reviving philanthropy felt that it needed to expand its traditional role and to address strategic development tasks. Thus the concept of strategic (or transformational) philanthropy was introduced and institutions were created that adopt a long-term approach to removing the structural causes of problems rather than meeting the immediate needs of disadvantaged individuals.
In the meantime, traditional (or welfarist) philanthropy developed in a more organic way – local businesses, families and individuals engaged in small-scale philanthropic activities exactly as in the past. Typically these philanthropists operate within the limits of their own resources, which makes it unfeasible for them to make long-term strategic plans or form cooperative relationships with other philanthropists.
While both approaches can make a positive contribution, there are some fundamental differences between them that could create tensions when one approach undermines the other. Traditional philanthropists, for example, continue to provide assistance to residential childcare institutions while development agencies are lobbying to close them down and offer alternative community-based services for children. The more recent appearance of corporate foundations with their more or less explicit focus on PR and marketing for their companies adds to these tensions, making it difficult for the different types of philanthropic institution to communicate and interact successfully, especially as the infrastructure of the philanthropic sector in Central Europe is still quite weak.
The development of donor platforms, associations and support organizations could enhance both diversity and cooperation in the sector. There are some promising signs of change in this respect, with donors' association well-established in the Czech Republic and Slovakia and finding their feet in Poland and Hungary, but more needs to be done in this regard.
Finally, probably the biggest challenge for the Central European philanthropic sector is to define – and defend – its role in the context of EU membership. Unlike every other aspect of political, economic and social life in the region, philanthropy remained largely outside any 'harmonization' process with EU practice. To a great extent, it still follows either the pre-Second World War models or the new ideas brought by US public and private donors. This situation is likely to change, however.
American versus European models
Talking about models inevitably involves crude generalizations. However, there is commonly understood to be an American and a European model of social development and civil society which will provide a rough guide to the future of philanthropy in Central Europe.
Generally speaking, the US model, which has been influential in Central Europe in the past 15 years through the work of US public and private donors and their local partners, leaves a lot of space and resources to the business and non-profit sectors in the field of social development. Social improvement and change is delivered primarily through individual initiative and ad hoc self-organizing. Philanthropy is a separate field with substantial resources, institutions and infrastructure; it is itself the subject of policy and research. As US research shows, however, the biggest strength of US philanthropy – 'that it is a moral choice freely made'[3] – could also be an obstacle to its efficiency and greater impact in securing permanent social benefit.
By contrast, the EU approaches social development through institutions and processes set up by governments. This secures permanence for, and inclusiveness of, the social development process. Individual philanthropy has a much smaller social mission and resources. It does not constitute a separate policy and action field and rarely attracts funding for systematic research. However, the recent crisis in the EU[4] did show an alarming level of disconnectedness between citizens and their political leaders which could be attributed to the lack of an independent and agile philanthropic sector.
This dichotomy poses a certain identity dilemma for many philanthropic institutions in Central Europe. The EU is a powerful development agent on every level – development institutions that ignore it risk marginalization. But how close can one get to the EU framework and still have an independent voice and presence? Is the idea of an independent and influential philanthropic sector in any case too 'American' for an EU member country? And what do we do with the 'American heritage' after the US donors leave the region? Shall we leave it to melt down without trace? Or put it into hibernation until better times arrive?
Strength from participation, not financial assets
There is a feeling in Central Europe that the American heritage has to be preserved not because it is American but because it works and delivers. There are strong leaders and institutions in the field of philanthropy and their vision for 2025 is one of a large-scale independent philanthropic sector which takes its strength not from the size of its financial assets, but from the massive participation of people through giving and volunteering. These leaders and institutions have already invested a lot in this process but their work has been very much like constructing a bridge: work on the foundations is invisible because it is under water, but once they are in place, the support structure surfaces, the visible part is completed quickly and efficiently, and the facility becomes fully functional. It is this kind of philanthropy development process that we – philanthropic institutions in and outside the region – are committed to.
1 The observations in this article are based on experiences in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The question about the differences among these countries as well as about their common Central European identity is a complex one and goes far beyond the scope of this article.
2 For many of the ideas in this article – and certainly for the best ones – I am indebted to my colleagues in the field of philanthropy: Olga Alexeeva, Elitsa Barakova, Jiri Barta, Anna Iwinska, Tomas Krejci, Shannon Lawder, Francois Matarasso, Peter Medved, Alena Panikova, Miroslav Pospisil, Anna Rozicka, Tamas Sczaurszki, Boris Strecansky, Walter Veirs.

Abby Martin interview critical of Israel is blocked by YouTube in 28 countries
Published time: 6 Apr, 2018 00:12 Edited time: 6 Apr, 2018 09:56
An episode of Abby Martin's Empire Files, featuring journalist Max Blumenthal and spotlighting rising militarism in Israel, has been blocked by YouTube in 28 countries, including Israel and the UK, for violating "local laws."
"Just notified by YouTube that Abby Martin's interview with Max Blumenthal has been blocked from being viewed in 28 countries (including Israel) to 'comply with local laws.' Actions disabled & warnings for viewers elsewhere," the program's official Twitter account related on Thursday.
Entitled "Jewish-American on Israel's Fascism: 'No Hope For Change From Within'," the episode featured a discussion between Martin and journalist Max Blumenthal about the increasingly militaristic, racist attitude of Israel towards Palestinians.

Just notified by YouTube that @AbbyMartin's interview with @MaxBlumenthal has been blocked from being viewed in 28 countries (including Israel) to "comply with local laws." Actions disabled & warnings for viewers elsewhere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlNn1v4_Uf0&bpctr=1522915691 …
8:51 AM – Apr 5, 2018
"YouTube has claimed that it removed my interview on Israel-Palestine with Abby Martin to comply with laws in 28 countries. However, nothing I did or said in the discussion was even remotely illegal, even in countries with the strictest hate crime laws," Blumenthal told RT in an email."My comments were based entirely on my extensive journalistic experience in the region and my analysis was clinical in nature. At no point did I denigrate anyone based on their faith or ethnicity."
Blumenthal said that his comments were "motivated by a strong opposition to Israel's systemic discrimination against Palestinians," and his "dedication to equal rights for all." He called the YouTube's decision "a political one and likely made under pressure from powerful pro-Israel interests."
A screenshot from YouTube which accompanied the tweet identified the 28 countries and territories where the 2015 video, was blocked and this list includes most European countries.
Viewers from around the world responded to Empire Files' tweet, reporting that the video includes a warning that is has been "identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences." The video's description, view counter, comments section, as well as 'like' and 'dislike' options have apparently also been disabled by YouTube.
According to Blumenthal, this isn't the first time YouTube has censored his commentary and journalism on Israel-Palestine. In 2010, he made a viral video exposing "racist extremism" in Israel, which received widespread media coverage and was subsequently removed from the platform without explanation.
"The trend of censoring material that presents Israel in a less than favorable light has only intensified as establishment attacks on critical voices expands. This latest episode confirms my view that the pro-Israel lobby and its willing accomplices in Silicon Valley present one of the greatest threats to free speech in the West," Blumenthal told RT.
Last year, YouTube invited the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to join its "Trusted Flagger" system. The ADL defines opposition to Israel's system of apartheid as a form of anti-Semitism. Blumenthal told RT that he believes the ADL is likely behind the suppression of his interview with Martin.
Empire Files, the documentary and interview program airing on teleSUR, is known for addressing hot-button issues that are often overlooked or ignored by traditional media.

The Chicago Real Estate Local: Show ready?
One of our clients shared a little story with us. She was looking at properties on a third party web site and noted to herself that one place looked like it was one of our listings from the photos. And, it was. The point is that my business partner and I really work hard with our clients to get a home as "show ready" as possible. The photos and showings usually reflect this.
However, the market is picking up now. There is a case to made for some properties and sellers to list as soon as possible even if some work still needs to be done. If we feel there will be market demand for your property and price, serious buyers can make the decision to purchase based on the space, location, price etc... The real buyers know what they want and have a goal. They don't need perfection or a staged property. They need location, price, and space that fits their goals.
The dirty little secret is Bob and I have sold properties quickly before we could even post interior photos on the MLS. That secret is we didn't sell anything. The property was priced right in the right location and the buyers showed up. We just had the sense to get it on the market ASAP. The only catch is the buyer's expectation of price, condition and location still needs to met.

Best Ninja air fryer
Cookware & Cooking Tools
by: Allen Foster, BestReviews Staff
Posted: Jul 20, 2021 / 09:48 AM CDT / Updated: Jul 20, 2021 / 09:48 AM CDT
Your Ninja air fryer should be thoroughly cleaned according to the owner's manual after every use. If you notice a funny smell or excessive smoke while cooking, stop using your air fryer and give it a deep cleaning.
Which Ninja air fryer is the best?
Ninja is part of the innovative line of brands that were developed by SharkNinja Operating LLC. The company's goal is to offer highly functional products that fit the busy lifestyle of today's homeowners and renters. While Ninja currently only manufactures three items specifically designated as air fryers, the company has a few other multipurpose appliances that include air frying settings.
The best Ninja air fryer is the one that fits your budget and your needs. For example, if you have a big family that loves the healthier cooking method offered by an air fryer, a 4-quart model probably won't be large enough, but a 6.5-quart model will work just fine.
What to know about air fryers
How does an air fryer work?
While the name seems to suggest otherwise, an air fryer functions more like a convection oven than a deep fryer. As it heats up, hot air is moved about by a fan so it circulates around the food inside the device, cooking it evenly and crisping the outside.
This heating results in a chemical reaction called the Maillard reaction, which changes the tastes and texture of food, making it more desirable to most people. When you toast bread, this is an example of the Maillard reaction. As a result, an air fryer offers homeowners a quick, convenient and healthier option than deep frying.
Are air fryers safe?
What is considered healthy today may be considered harmful as science learns more about the topic in the future. Alternatively, some things that are currently deemed unhealthy may one day be considered safe again — consider the everchanging view on eggs as evidence of this. Since an air fryer uses little to no oil, it is a better cooking solution than eating soggy food that has been immersed in a deep fryer.
However, more and more studies are examining the health risks of cooking foods — particularly plants — by methods such as frying, roasting or baking since those methods create a substance known as acrylamide, which may be harmful to humans. While the FDA states, "it's not clear exactly what risk acrylamide poses to humans," it does offer guidance on how to reduce exposure to acrylamide from foods that are prepared at home.
What can you make in an air fryer?
When most people think about what can be cooked in an air fryer, they gravitate towards french fries and chicken fingers. However, anything from desserts to vegetables can be cooked in an air fryer.
Because of this, rather than listing what can be cooked in an air fryer, it's easier to point out the types of foods that may be problematic. For instance, any foods with wet batters or items that melt, such as cheese, can be troublesome when cooking in an air fryer, but most anything else is good.
How much do Ninja air fryers cost?
While there are outliers, as a general guide, you can find Ninja air fryers for roughly between $100-$200.
Five best Ninja air fryers
Dedicated air fryers
The following three models comprise Ninja's current line of air fryers. They range from a small 4-quart model, which is best for up to two or three individuals, to an 8-quart model that is suitable for the whole family.

Sold by Amazon, Home Depot, Kohl's and Macy's
Ninja AF161 Max XL Air Fryer
This larger 5.5-quart air fryer is suitable for the average size family. It is capable of heating up to 450°F and comes with a crisper plate that can fit up to three pounds of french fries. The range of functions on this model includes max crisp, air fry, air roast, air broil, bake, reheat and dehydrate.
Sold by Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and Macy's
Ninja DZ201 Foodi 6-in-1 2-Basket Air Fryer
If you want the biggest and best that Ninja has to offer, this dual-zone, 8-quart air fryer has two independent baskets that allow you to cook two different foods, two different ways, at the same time. However, if you'd like to use all 8 quarts for the same food, you can use the match setting to do that as well. The unit has six programs that can be customized to your needs: air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate.
Other Ninja models to consider
While these appliances aren't dedicated air fryers, they do include an air fry feature, making them a versatile option for an individual who is looking for an all-in-one type cooking device.
Ninja FD302 Foodi 11-in-1 Pro Pressure Cooker plus Air Fryer
This offering from Ninja combines pressure cooking with air frying to give the user an extensive range of cooking options. There are 11 programmable cooking methods to choose from, including steam, slow cook, sous vide, air fry, bake, sauté, broil, dehydrate and more. The nonstick pot can fit enough food for large groups. It operates at the touch of a button and purchase includes a nesting broil rack and a crisp plate.
Ninja SP101 Foodi Countertop Convection Oven
If you are looking for an air fryer that is more along the lines of a countertop oven, this offering from Ninja might be a better fit for you. This 1800-watt appliance offers the ability to air fry, air roast, air broil, dehydrate, keep warm and more. When not in use, it can be flipped on its side for storage to save counter space.

We can arrange a great day's fishing for you, by putting you in contact with our highly skilled and professional fisherman partners.
Approximately 20 nautical miles off the northern coast of Mallorca is one of the best areas to fish for blue fin tuna in the Mediterranean, so much so, you're almost guaranteed a catch.
Their deep sea fishing trips start in the Port of Soller. It is here where you will board one of our two specialist fishing boats equipped with 30lb Shimano Tiagra fishing rods, 20lb Shimano Tiagra reels and 30lb nylon, to ensure a fair battle between fish and fisherman.
It's a 2 hour trip from Puerto Soller to reach the fishing grounds. Once in waters around 1000 metres deep, they begin to set the outrigger booms, rods, lures, belts and clamps, in preparation for the first bite. When it arrives, it is normally followed by 2 or 3 more, that's when the fun and combat begins!
We can also arrange some coastal fishing which is a little more laid back and not ALL about the fishing, or of course you more than welcome to bring a rod on one of our yachts or use the boats gear.


What is the explanation behind dolls? Do we simply discover them lovely, or do we try to catch a thing, or a man in a shape that we can keep around us for an existence time and pass them along as a treasure, or only a piece of our identity? long as we seem to be, taking care of it as delicate as the vast majority of them show up? Think about a heavenly attendant doll, how extremely sensitive they are And genuine to life also. Craftsman of most dolls is talented to the point, that they, put the littlest of detail to all aspects of them, including the fingernails.
When we gather dolls, we generally purchase a fine china bureau and show them, we bar with satisfaction, as others respect our genuine to life culminate puppets. A few people like to simply purchase a couple and utilize them as home stylistic layout. Puppets can add a shocking delight to the home when put in the correct setting. Envision a lovely wooden table with a silver plate of sweets and a gold bowl of nuts and in the middle of them is a doll, of a rotund Buddha, encompassed by his get a kick out of bites. A few puppets hold plants and blooms, that a few people grandstand around their home to include life and excellence, or possibly only a dash of class.
How about we not overlook the numerous mediums used to make puppets. There are those made of dirt, glass, gold, silver, multi-metals, Bronze, copper, metal, porcelain again the rundown continues endlessly.
Dolls influence incredible presents for the two someones you to know well or don't know much by any means.
One lady cherished dream dolls and workmanship so much she finished her whole home with puppets of pixies, Unicorn, and Pegasus. She didn't stop there, she additionally hung dream pictures all through, to make her home, a dream arrive. One would thoroughly consider this would do it, in any case, really, it was stunning.
There is likewise Garden or yard dolls, a few people have puppets for each occasion or only for the season. A yard with some well-made puppets can't resist the urge to, get a look or two. The outside of our homes can say much in regards to our identity. For example, it can demonstrate the amount we appreciate commending occasions, or it can indicate us somebody manly or ladylike lives there, it can regardless of whether you take a gander at what sort of puppets they show, give one a thought of what sort of individual lives n that excellent, eye getting home.
Obviously, on the off chance that it isn't Halloween and you see all year around witches, fiends, or other alarming dolls, one may ask themselves, are they a dim individual, or simply locate an alternate sort of excellence with such puppets.

Is the Joe Lepper's Goal Imminent Table the Best Way to Forecast FPL Points
Steven Reinaldo Rusli (fpl.estigabola_steve)
The first four Gameweeks of FPL have been such a roller-coaster for the so-called 'non-casual' FPL manager. Ubiquitous information has been a double-bladed sword, ruining transfer plans and overall points. The injury-story of Son Heung-Min, apparently, was the most recent highlight as he scored 18 points when his status in FPL is flagged as 25% chances of playing due to injury. The casual players who 'forget' to transfer him out pre-deadline are the ones singing joys, while the more competitive managers often find themselves regretful. In a season where the final scores become more and more unpredictable, what do we have in our pocket to narrow the odds?
The statistics have been very deceiving early this season. All the research on the underlying stats was rarely fruitful, leaving blanks left, right and center on captain selections. Kevin De Bruyne, for example, was totally electric in Gameweek 2. Without any proper pre-season, he singlehandedly destroyed the statistically best defence at the end of the last season. Wolves, who conceded the least amount of shots in the box, big chances, and had the lowest xGC since Gameweek 25 last season until the beginning of this season, was sliced through like butter, and De Bruyne had 6 chances created all by himself, more than half of the whole Wolves' players managed the whole game. Add that with the most goal attempts in the match, 1 goal, 1 assist, and maximum bonus points, he was definitely a very good captain option coming forward. Since then, he has played against the Leicester City side who had just conceded twice against Burnley and the Leeds United side who conceded 8 times in 3 games pre-Gameweek 4. The result is so obvious in FPL perspective – two successive blanks. There are numerous more examples of this, but the miseries are not what we're going to talk about in this article.
It's very hard to jump on players' haul at the right time, which seems to be key in FPL, particularly in this kind of season. So many points missed, and jumping to players' bandwagon after their hauls are good, but not best, so to speak. Regarding the prediction on when and which players are gonna haul, the famous tool to forecast such thing is the goals imminent table. Full credit to Joe Lepper who came up with the idea of creating such a powerful table! In this article, I am going to talk about how the table was set initially by Joe, how it has been working in the first four Gameweeks, and analyzing its flexibility in forecasting the next players to haul.
THE GOALS IMMINENT TABLE
Principally, the goals imminent table is constructed to scout the incoming players that are either coming very close to scoring goals or just cannot finish their chances. Using the Opta-stats driven data, Joe filtered the goal threat stats of every single FPL assets based on certain criteria in the last four Gameweeks.
His boundary conditions are set, currently, to select the players who make minimum 10 goal attempts, have at minimum 0.20 xG, but have not scored more than 1 goal through those shots. He assumed that the boundary conditions represent the players good positioning, as they can take the number of shots given, and the quality of their shots is bounded by the minimum xG to filter players like Townsend or Shelvey who likes to shot on sight from everywhere across the pitch. The table is updated each Gameweek, working on a moving average environment. The dynamic updates automatically filter the players who cannot finish their chances and drop their confidence after repetitive failures.
In this article, as we are not even yet into Gameweek 5, I tweak the table's boundary condition a little bit. For Gameweek 2 only, I decrease the number of required shots to 5 instead of 10. The Gameweek 3 and 4 have the same amount of shots boundary of 10. The data is not collected based on four Gameweeks data, but from gameweek 1 until the latest available data. Let's see how the table performs.
GAMEWEEK 2 PREDICTION & RESULT
In Gameweek 1, there were 5 players who met the criteria: Raul Jimenez, Richarlison, Harvey Barnes, Timo Werner, and Sadio Mane. Just to remind, each of them had at least 5 goal attempts with a total xG of at least 0.2, but did not score more than 1 goal. Using the data in Gameweek 1, the goals imminent table predicted these 5 players to get goals in Gameweek 2.
The results were mouthwatering. Seven goals, 1 assist, 1 missed (penalty) assist, and 7 bonus points were collected by these five players in Gameweek 2, combining 49 FPL points among them! Harvey Barnes, Richarlison, and Sadio Mane had double-digit hauls, and Timo Werner was the only blank player from the list.
The minimum shots limit was updated back to 10 in Gameweek 3, and there were only 2 players who passed the criteria, Richarlison (again) and Harvey Barnes (again). I am not sure if the table worked in consecutive weeks, but the prediction was the two players should be scoring goals in Gameweek 3 based on the first 2 Gameweeks data.
The results were not as magnificent as the first Gameweek, but considering the freakish Gameweek we had since Gameweek 2 to Gameweek 4, we will take 10 points from two players, right? Harvey Barnes did blank, but Richarlison scored 1 goal and got all 3 bonus points, returning 8 FPL points for his owners.
Gameweek 4 was arguably the hardest Gameweek to predict, but on the flip side, the goals imminent table now has 3 Gameweeks worth of data, more than what it previously had. The tables listed Harry Kane, Richarlison (again), Michail Antonio, Harvey Barnes (again), Timo Werner (again), and Tomas Soucek. The players I give the '(again)' sign are now either very close to returning or just cannot score, seriously.
In hindsight, it turned out to be one of the most unpredictable Gameweeks, ever. Manchester United lost 1-6 at home, and the reigning champion, Liverpool, got battered 7-2 by the reinvigorated Aston Villa. But, once again, the goals imminent table did not disappoint. The six players listed combined 5.33 points on average among them, having 3 goals, 1 assist, 1 disallowed goal, and 5 bonus points. That includes the unluckily injured Richarlison with only 1 point return in the mix.
Between Gameweek 2 and Gameweek 4, the goals imminent table has had 8 unique players in the list, and so far 6 players have produced at least one attacking return! The only two players who failed to live up to the expectation were Timo Werner (who in reality is indeed a disappointment) and Tomas Soucek (who to be fair is a 5th midfielder material, and his 13 point returns in four Gameweeks is nowhere near shameful considering his kind price).
On average, the players have returned 91 FPL points among them from 11 goals and 2 assists combined. That is a remarkable achievement in a season where each Gameweek, at least two assets among Salah, Mane, Aubameyang, De Bruyne, Sterling, and Bruno Fernandes always blank.
As so far the table looked to be working perfectly fine, FPL managers are, sorry to say, hard to satisfy. If there is another way to get more points, we will do – and that's exactly what I am doing here. I am looking for different boundaries and see how the table can be even more optimized. In short, I decrease the shots lower boundary to 5 goal attempts and lengthened the evaluation period up to the end of Gameweek 4. This way, the table for Gameweek 2 is not necessary to be discussed as the original table was tweaked that way, anyway.
For Gameweek 3 and Gameweek 4, the results are good enough compared to the original table. Obviously, we loosened the criteria here, so there will be more players listed and it brings more uncertainties in FPL perspective. Here is the result of the simulated new boundaries.
There are 10 new players listed going into Gameweek 3: Giorginio Wijnaldum, James Ward-Prowse, Aaron Connolly, Jonjo Shelvey, Denis Praet, Callum Wilson, Michail Antonio, Che Adams, Tomas Soucek, and Jarrod Bowen. Up to the end of Gameweek 4, each of these players has 2 Gameweeks to prove their 'goal imminency'. Eventually, 5 players have returned more than 6 points in Gameweek 3 and 4 combined, an incredible 73 points in total to be specific, while the other 5 failed. The 'failure five' are Wijnaldum, Ward-Prowse, Connolly, Shelvey, and Praet (injured for Gameweek 4).
Going into Gameweek 4, the new table gives 12 new names: Kevin de Bruyne, Lucas Moura, Mason Mount, Grady Diangana, Josh Brownhill, Giovanni Lo Celso, Andy Carroll, Solly March, Jack Grealish, Leandro Trossard, James Rodriguez, and Ollie Watkins. Unluckily, 3 players did not feature in Gameweek 4; Mount and Carroll due to the surprising team selections and Lo Celso due to injury. From the remaining 9 players that played, 5 of them returned 7 goals and 7 assists combined, returning in total pleasantly 71 points!
ANALYSIS ON THE EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE TABLE
Unavoidable uncertainties and noise appears when the shots' lower boundary is decreased. The number of failures increases significantly, with only 2 players having blanked on the original table (Werner and Soucek) compared to the 12 on the new table, although 3 of them are unlucky absentees.
On the positive side, the hauls are still detectable, especially through Wilson, Grealish, Rodriguez, and Watkins in Gameweek 4. It looks like more a gamble than the previous list, but the upside is still there.
Most importantly, we can see a pattern on the new table results. The 'failures' are mainly the central or box-to-box midfielders playing no further than the number 10 role. Wijnaldum, Ward-Prowse, Shelvey, Praet, Brownhill, and Lo Celso are the names I mean. The strikers/wingers/attacking midfielders, on the other side, are mostly successful.
We can't deny, though, that the original table gives us more certainties and confidence, although the options are significantly more limited. Additionally, the lower number of shots boundary are more applicable to more advanced players, while the higher number is more widely applicable to any positions.
In summary, we have been diving into Joe's goals imminent table. In the first four Gameweeks this season, the table is undeniably one of the most powerful tools to predict hauls. However, its selection and flexibility can be put to test; the more accepting you are to uncertainties, the wider selection you have with higher risk. Whether the table is going to work perfectly the whole season remains to be seen, and don't forget that as powerful as the goals imminent table has been, you should not just ignore the other tools you have to play your game. Have a good international break and may Gameweek 5 onwards are more kind to us than the first four!

Cheers SRR!
Really is a fantastic tool, especially when you pair it up with player stats / eye test etc. Fancy a lot of the names on the list this week to move off soon - Werner for one (finally) but keen on Trossard as well.

Can you RMWCT please? Thank you
Mendy, Button
Chilwell, Semedo, Justin, Mitchell, Branthwaite
Salah, Sterling, Son, JRod, Zaha

Mendy will stay if he is fit, if not I will go for Ryan and KWP in for Mendy and Branthwaite or Mitchell. Mitchell will go out for Ferguson if PVA is back. Zaha will go out for Grealish if he blaks vs Brighton.
Blanks*
Do Grealish now imo...far better long term option.

Goals imminent is flawed. It needs columns for shot accuracy and xGOT and shooting goals added. This is because some players have a long history of a below 10% conversion rate and they will stay on the table for a long, long time.
TopMarx
I wouldn't say it is flawed. I think it can be enhanced by looking at how well a player converts his chances historically, but this is beyond the scope of the table and is something each FPL manager can do for themselves (research what you can on players new to the league, or add together season totals for players already in the PL). So I would use the Goals Imminent table as a starting point for players to be evaluated.
I am interested to see how it performs once the season settles down, presuming it does settle down!
Let's break it down.
What is it's basic premise?
Players who have a high volume of goal attempts without scoring many goals. For me, that's not revealing if a player is "due"; it reveals which players aren't clinical and couldn't hit a barn door.
To reveal if a player is in fact due, you need to go way beyond the last four gameweeks and sanity check 1 to 3 seasons worth of data for the player ... while also looking at post xG data to see if the player's shooting ability is a factor.
Richarlison is a case in point. He is currently top of goals imminent but his goal conversion rate this season is a measly 7% - and even that was a penalty! Moreover he has been a notoriously bad finisher and has had a below average goal conversion rate for every season he has been at Everton. So all those people who bring in Richarlison because he is top of this famous table are going to get stung because they haven't scratched beneath the surface of the data. And THATS why goals imminent is inherently flawed and that's why Mark eats a pie when Jonty wheels it out.

I actually looked at this statistically. How can a "notoriously bad finisher" play for a side which has been a disaster for 2 seasons, not even be on pens consistently, play out-wide most of the time, and yet get 13 goals!
Richarlison has had a conversion rate of 15% in each of the last 2 seasons. It is only slightly below overage when you look at all the players with 10+ goals over the last 3 seasons (19%). He gets away around 90 attempts a season, which is above average average (80 attempts. again, for players who get 10+ goals in a season).
To complicate this further, Richarlison had 90 attempts, but only 13 big chances. The average ratio is that for most players (again, for all players with 10 or more goals in the last 4 seasons), for every 4.5 shots, you get 1 big chance. Richarlison averages around 6.50 shots per big chance, which might perhaps explain why he has a low conversion rate.
But here's the kicker to your "he couldn't hit a barn door", according to the xG model used in FFScout members area, Richarlison has actually outperformed his xG by 3.93 last season, and 3.41 the season before that. That's the top 25% of all players with 10+ goals in the last 3 seasons.
The reason the table works is that season-on-season -- there is a positive correlation with: 1) more attempts = more goals, and 2) more big chances = more goals. So if you get a high number of shots/big chances, it should lead to more goals given the high correlation.
Are there outliers? Sure. But you have to do it in a way that doesn't make everything confusing with 20 different variables for each players. Richarlison would at worst be an outlier (e.g. Mitrovic 18-19), but how does that make it "inherently flawed"?
Also, you make it seem like conversion rate and all those things don't change from season-to-season. Harry Kane had a conversion rate of around 16% during 17-18 and 18-19, but it went up to 22% last season. Would look at conversion stats really have helped you last season?

Cheers for this. Would be interested to see how other methods performed too, including a pin and a blindfold.
RedLightning - January to M…
The Goals Imminent Table may reveal a few players that might otherwise have passed under the radar, but why does it have to exclude players that have actually scored more than one goal already?
I would like to see it also include these players too so that we can get a fair comparison between those who have scored more than one goal already and those who haven't.
I would be very surprised if in the majority of cases where players have similar stats for shots and xG as well as similar past and future fixture difficulties, the players who have already scored more than one goal do not usually score at least as many in the next week as the ones who haven't.
I would only be interested in those players in the table whose stats, fixtures and prices compared favourably with players who had already scored more than once.
I agree. The one goal max filter can skew the data in some circumstances.
Black Belt Jones
I agree too mate. If the tool showed players who are scoring and likely to keep it up, it would be super useful!
As it stands, it seems more of a tool for seeking differentials. This has its place, but you're really at risk of bringing in the most frustrating players to watch!
Sgt Frank Drebin
I don't want to be rude but the goals imminent table is based on biased and very flawed reasoning. It's just better to look just at the stats all of players, it doesn't matter really if someone hasn't scored a goal for a month or a year. He still has the same probability of scoring a goal from a given chance. It's like with flipping a coin 8 times and having it on tails 8 times, it doesn't mean that the chances for flipping heads is higher. It's 50/50 no matter what the previous results were. Che Adam's may be the worst finisher on the world or maybe he was just very unlucky so far. But it still doesn't mean he HAS to score soon. He could as well waste another big chance as the chances for him scoring from it are let's say 50/50. Given how many players there are such streaks aren't something extraordinary. There is for example 6% a player will waste 4 big chances in a row (naively assuming 50/50 chances), so roughly 1 in 17 players will happen to do that. Nothing impossible.
Assuming confidence doesn't play a role in that. But that would be another argument against taking goals imminent into consideration. And it may be something in it as recently there were some research that the "hot hand fallacy" may be in fact not true. I would like to see more research on that though.
*it doesn't mean that the chances for flipping heads are higher in the next throw.
FPL Kaka
Is it fair to say that if Dallas doesn't play then it will be Barry Douglas instead?
Thinking of getting both on WC (4.5M and 3.9m respectively)
Stejson
Has anyone looked at mean reversion in fpl?
Do players like DCL, who are currently free scoring, often drop off back to more expected levels and vice versa?
DCLs goal conversion is currently at 40%. I would expect that to roughly half going forward.
If he susteined his goalscoring rate he would end the season on something like 50 goals so surely he will drop off back to the expected levels (there are many players I would expect to do that currently) but even his expected levels are high imho. Even if he ends up on 20 goals he should be a good value. Even in the terms of xG I would expect him to cool off, he's on 1.16 xG/90 minutes, Hardly anyone in the world posts over 1 xG per 90 minutes over the course of the season.
Indeed, and it would be interesting to know if there os a pattern as tonwhen those dropoffs happen or not.
Bobby_Styles
Great article on a great tool!!
davidfromkent
Should be called the goals inevitable table, obviously when the stats are engaging the most active players, whether they score or not, eventually they are going to return after all they are the players most involved in the game tend to be the ones creating and/or taking chances. Statistics are all based on historical outcomes and as with any area of life where they are employed the data can be used in many ways to back a prediction/argument, hence i never have and never will use stats.
and therefore* tend to be the ones......

Q: How To Properly Save To The Pictures Folder I am trying to save a bitmap that is created by the user to the default 'Pictures' folder on the device. I will start with the option that seems to be the more common method:
public void saveImageToExternalStorage(String filename, Bitmap image) {
    String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() + File.separator;
    try {
        File directory = new File(path);
        if (!directory.exists()) {
            directory.mkdirs();
        }

        File file = new File(directory, filename + ".jpeg");
        file.createNewFile();

        OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);

        outputStream.flush();
        outputStream.close();
    } catch (IOException exception) {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This is supposed to save to the 'Pictures' folder, but Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() seems to create a new file structure like this file://storage/emulated/11/Pictures/ and save the picture to that. I have also tried Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) with the same result. But this is not the default 'Pictures' folder on any of my test devices or emulators. Which led me to look for other methods, and I found this:
public void saveImageToExternalStorage(String filename, Bitmap image) {
    try {
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.TITLE, filename);
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.DATE_TAKEN, System.currentTimeMillis());
        values.put(MediaStore.Images.Media.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");

        Uri filepath = getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);
        OutputStream outputStream = getContentResolver().openOutputStream(filepath);

        image.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);
        outputStream.close();
    } catch (IOException exception) {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
}

This actually saves to the default file structure, which apparently looks like this: content://media/external/images/media/4282. But there seems to be no way to specify the filename of the image (Media.TITLE just sets the title attribute, not the actual filename), it saves as a (seemingly) random string of numbers. I looked at the API Guide for MediaStore.Images.Media and there does not seem to be any other variable that would set the filename. This also does not seem to be the correct way of saving, according to the Android Developer Guides. I would like to know if there is any way of saving to this folder, while also setting my own filename. And if this method could produce unforeseen problems on other devices.
EDIT:
For anyone interested this is my current code, based on the answer by @CommonsWare:
public void saveImageToExternalStorage(Context context, String filename, Bitmap image) throws IOException {
    File directory = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
    File file = new File(directory, filename + ".jpeg");

    FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
    mBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);

    outputStream.flush();
    outputStream.getFD().sync();
    outputStream.close();

    MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(context, new String[] {file.getAbsolutePath()}, null, null);
}

A:
This is supposed to save to the 'Pictures' folder

getExternalStorageDirectory() returns the root of external storage, not some location inside of it (e.g., Pictures/, DCIM/, Movies/).

I have also tried Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES) with the same result

That will give you the proper directory, or whatever the device thinks the proper directory is (usually named Pictures/ in external storage for whoever the current user is).

but Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() seems to create a new file structure like this file://storage/emulated/11/Pictures/

The 11 is a bit unusual, and getAbsolutePath() does not return something with a file:// scheme, but otherwise that seems about right.

But this is not the default 'Pictures' folder on any of my test devices or emulators.

I do not know how you have determined this.

I would like to know if there is any way of saving to this folder, while also setting my own filename.

Start with your first sample, switching to DIRECTORY_PICTURES. Then:

*

*have outputStream be a FileOutputStream

*call outputStream.getFD().sync() after flush() and before close()

*use MediaScannerConnection and its scanFile() method to arrange for the MediaStore to index the image, so it is available to on-device galleries, desktop OS file managers, etc.

A: With Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API >= 23), Google introduced a new permission model.
You have to request permission at run-time:
String[] permissions = {Manifest.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE};
requestPermissions(permissions, WRITE_REQUEST_CODE);

and handle the result in onRequestPermissionsResult(),
File path = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
    Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
File file = new File(path, "db.JPG");
try {
    file.createNewFile();
}
catch (IOException e) {
    Toast.makeText(this.getApplicationContext(),
    "createNewFile:"+e.toString(),
    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

then
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 19) {
    sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED,
    Uri.parse("file://" + filename)));
}
else {
    sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE,
    Uri.parse("file://" + filename)));
}

to show in the gallery.

Pallets are everywhere and a decent source of wood for projects that don't need the polished looked provided by higher quality wood. They are also great for concept work prior to using expensive wood in a finished product. The best part is that they are free, business and individuals are throwing away pallets basically everyday. Check your local craigslist or if you see a pile outside a building just go ask most businesses are glad to have them away.
The first thing to do is select your pattern and print it out to the size you want the finished product to be.
To do that open the image you'd like to print in Paint.
Once you print it out lay out your pattern and use packing tape* to connect the pages.
*Packing tape cuts well and doesn't seem to gum up saw blades.
Use your reciprocating saw to cut the pallet down to size. For this project it worked out that I could cut the slats and not have to worry about the nails.
If you are doing larger projects be sure to remove all the nails when dissembling so you do not damage tools during your build.
Once the pieces were cut I use hot glue to create a temporary bond in the pieces so that I can sand them all evenly. If you have a thickness planner you can ensure they are even by using it here. I went through the grits from 80 up to 220.
I used spray adhesive to attach the pattern to the boards.
Once that dry I tried using an old jigsaw to make the cuts but it just wasn't working. While I went to get a new one I decided to switch to the band saw.
To make this easier, I used a razor knife to slice the pattern and break the hot glue joint. I added some more spray adheasive to the separate pieces and trim off the excess with the new jig saw.
I could have made all of the cuts with the jigsaw however it was easier to just bring it to the band saw to make the final cuts, take your time and make cuts close to the line on your pattern.
Before assembling I sanded all of the pieces individually. Using the Random Orbital Sander for the larger pieces and a High Speed Rotary Tool i picked up from GearBest. I was surprised at how well this tool was able to get into smaller spaces without bogging down.
To assemble the pieces I used some of the cut offs and a pin nailer, If I was going to do it again I would either glue the pieces together or use pocket holes to join them.
All that is left to do is apply the wood finish of your choice.
I went with the Varathane wood stain in Vintage Aqua, and just used a simple foam brush to apply a few coats.
This is cool! I don't really do wood working, but my brother does.
Great write up and video bud! Well done!

When Sally Dixon's Office was a Bastion of the Experimental Film Scene
By Kate Barbera May 20, 2015
PrintPrint this page
Sally Dixon's office was, in a word, stunning. Back in the early 1970s, before the present-day museum of art building was constructed, Carnegie Institute was sorely in need of extra space. So when Dixon launched the museum's film program in 1970, the attic space above the Carnegie Lecture Hall (now part of the Carnegie Library's main branch in Oakland) was offered to her and she transformed it into an office. With large windows and a mishmash of scavenged furniture and knick-knacks—not to mention the beautiful letterpress posters on the walls, many of which we have in our archive—it became an important meeting place for filmmakers, curators, and scholars from near and far. This Pittsburgh Press article, dated February 8, 1970, offers a vivid description of Dixon's office, with the reporter playfully referring to its decor as "Early Museum Basement."

In our archive, we have dozens of images of meetings, press conferences, and chat sessions that Dixon hosted in her office. It's a veritable who's who of the film world.
Not only are these images compelling to look at, but they are the only visual record we have of some of these meetings, which helps us piece together the history of film in Pittsburgh and the role Dixon played in the experimental film surge of the 1970s. Dixon was riding the crest of an art-world wave that would eventually see the movement of experimental film out of small, independent venues like coffee shops and into long-standing cultural institutions such as Carnegie Institute.

In one such image from 1971, we see visual artist Ed Emshwiller chatting with Gerry O'Grady, a well-known media scholar from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo. From correspondence and program notes in our archive, we know that Ed Emshwiller visited Sally Dixon and her crew in February 1971 to screen some of his experimental films and give a lecture to an audience at Carnegie Lecture Hall, but this image is the only record we have of his meeting with O'Grady in Pittsburgh. (In the 1970s, both men became well-known for their work and experimentation with new media in Buffalo.)

Stan Brakhage is another artist who appears in these images of Dixon's office, although more frequently than expected. We know that he visited Pittsburgh twice to screen his films in the 1970s, but also came to shoot his Pittsburgh Documents (also sometimes called The Pittsburgh Trilogy) with help from Dixon and her contacts around the city. Once we've finished processing (cataloging) these photographs, they will provide us with a better sense of how many times he actually came to the city.

In 1974, Carnegie Institute finished construction on the current museum of art building and Dixon and her film department moved out of the attic space and into an office near the museum's theater. The modern office now houses the Department of Film and Video archive, while also acting as a work space for the Teenie Harris archivists and researchers from the Time-Based Media Project. We're fortunate to have some of the knick-knacks Dixon collected still hanging on our walls, including her beautiful mid-century clock.
By transforming a storage space into a welcoming office, Dixon not only made the best of a tough situation, but offered a home away from home to visiting filmmakers from across the country.
