Quitclaim vs. warranty deed: What you need to know

When you buy, sell or transfer ownership of a property to someone else, you'll want to pay attention to the paperwork. This includes knowing what type of deed a property has, and what type of deed to use when you transfer your interest in a property to another person.
Two of the most widely used deeds in real estate are quitclaim deeds and warranty deeds. Keep reading to learn about these two types of deeds and how they work — and what's at stake if you choose the wrong one.
What is a quitclaim deed?
A quitclaim deed is commonly used to convey ownership between people who are related — to spouses, or ex-spouses, or among family members. This type of deed transfers the legal rights to a property, if any exist, that the grantor — the person who is transferring a stake in a property to another person — has, but without any representation, warranty or guarantee.
In other words, a quitclaim deed gives no ironclad promise about guarantee of the title status of a property, any liens against it or any encumbrances.
"In simple terms, it means you get only what a grantor may have and nothing more. And if the grantor has nothing, you get nothing," says Mark Hakim, a real estate attorney with Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas LLP in New York City.
Why is a quitclaim deed important?
A quitclaim deed has its limits, but it's a type of document than can work just fine if the grantor truly has the legal rights to a property and there are no liens or problems to be aware of. For the most part, quitclaim deeds are used in safer situations where there's little question about the ownership interest in a property, says Paul Sian, a licensed attorney in Ohio and Michigan who is also a licensed real estate agent.
For example, quitclaim deeds are often used when someone is transferring ownership interest of a property they own to a limited liability company or trust they also control. Sian also says that quitclaim deeds can be used when someone is transferring ownership of real estate to family members.
Quitclaim deed uses
Maybe a couple is getting married and one spouse wants to add the other to the deed as a result. In the event of divorce, one spouse can quitclaim their interest in the property to the other spouse as well, he says.
What is a warranty deed?
When you buy a home through a Realtor or from a builder, chances are you'll get a warranty deed. This type of deed is used in more complex situations, including when someone is getting a mortgage to buy a home.
With a warranty deed, the person transferring title of a property (the seller) is guaranteeing that they have a defensible ownership interest in the property and can therefore transfer their ownership interest to the other party (the buyer), Sian says.
Since the seller or "grantor" is guaranteeing their ownership, the warranty deed provides more peace of mind and less room for trouble.
Why is a warranty deed important?
If the grantor of a warranty deed misrepresents the ownership they promised in a property that made the transfer viable, they can be sued.
Sian gives the following example of how this could work in a situation that may seem "safe."
Let's say a few siblings inherit a home from their mother. They don't need the house and they decide to sell it. However, one of the siblings didn't sign off on the sale and decides they want to keep the house after the fact. That sibling sues to get possession of the home back, but "the current owners would be allowed to use the warranty they received under the warranty deed to bring in the other siblings to the lawsuit," Sian says
"In this case, the warranty protects the people who bought the home since some of the siblings sold the property without the permission of all siblings involved."
With a quitclaim deed, however, the buyer of the property would have no such protection. Instead, they would be left to defend themselves and their ownership of the property, most likely in a lengthy court battle. This underscores the importance of purchasing owner's title insurance in case the ownership of the property is disputed.
Warranty deed vs. quitclaim deed
Warranty deeds are the safer option when you're buying a property. As a seller, you should also expect most buyers to request this option.
Patrick Simasko, who works as an estate planning and elder law attorney at Simasko Law in Mount Clemens, Michigan, says buyers want to be sure you own the property, so they want you to sign a warranty deed.
"If it later comes out that you don't own the property, the buyer can sue you for a breach of the warranty" he says.
Also keep in mind that there are many scenarios where this can happen, including when transfers of real estate are taking place within a family — and especially an extended family. Even scenarios that seem inherently safe may be anything but, so you may want to use a warranty deed in any scenario where you're not entirely sure of you or someone else's ownership stake in any property.
If you are transferring the property to your child or your revocable trust agreement as part of an estate plan, then that's a scenario where a quitclaim deed could do the trick. It accomplishes the change of ownership, but you are not providing any warranty that applies to the transaction.
Similarities between warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds
Both types of legal documents transfer ownership of property. Warranty deeds and quitclaim deeds are binding documents that are filed with the local clerk of courts.
However, the level of legal protection is much different. A quitclaim deed suffices for transferring ownership to people you know and trust. But a warranty deed is the right document for most property transfers.
The bottom line, says Simasko, is that "all real estate transactions that are arm's length transactions use warranty deeds."
It's up to you to know and understand what kind of transaction you really need and how much protection you want.

What, and Give Up Showbiz?
By DOUG HALL
What, and Give Up Showbiz: Six Decades in the Music Business
Fred Taylor (with Richard Vacca)
In his upcoming biography (December, 2020), What, and Give Up Showbiz?: Six Decades in the Music Business, Boston's late legendary and iconic music impresario Fred Taylor reveals six decades of promoting, booking, and personal friendships with an "A" list of musicians. With an ear for talent, endless energy, and a belief in each artist he promoted, Taylor would make an indelible mark on the early career of performers who would later become household names in the music industry. Anyone who met Taylor, whether you were an artist, fellow promoter, talent agent or simply a music enthusiast, found yourself inside an enormous circle of inter-connecting relationships. More often than not, you also became a lifelong friend of Fred Taylor. Throughout What, and Give up Showbiz? you hear an amazing, detailed first-person account of the people, places and events that were directly a part of his orbit, as booking agent, promoter, producer and marketer from the early 1960's all the way up to his 90th birthday.
Taylor breathes life into this narrative, literally having a conversation with you, including many hilarious anecdotes, home-spun punch lines while always making you feel like you were re-living the moment with him. Through these chapters, an extraordinary personal intersection occurs with a wide range of historical talent. A gifted storyteller, Taylor walks the reader through memories of presenting artists such as Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Pat Metheny, Norah Jones and Bruce Springsteen, as well as comedic legends like Flip Wilson, Richard Pryor, and Lily Tomlin.
Most remarkably, in an industry known for cut-throat contracts and cold marketing calculations that often treated artist as commodities, Taylor truly developed and maintained relationships with musicians that often lasted a lifetime. In this personal biography, Taylor frequently relates stories and recollections of artists he discovered and helped get on stage for the first time. Often, as well, he would be working behind the scenes of his clubs, up to performance time, making sure all the pieces came together, to ensure the best possible exposure for developing talent. A loyal promoter, and night-owl, he would be there for the final note of the last set.
In an early chapter, Taylor recounts the accident of a 1952 nightclub recording he made, at George Wein's Storyville club in Boston, of a then un-known modern jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, that would lead to his career start in the music business. In 1964, through his network of relationships, music agent Albert Grossman is referred to Taylor by George Wein, to "bring in" a young folk singer to Boston, who needs commercial exposure. The folk singer was Bob Dylan and Taylor would skillfully promote and market a sell-out audience at the Boston Symphony Hall. There are many instances like this throughout the storyline. Taylor strongly believes in these lines of coincidences, though clearly the biography reveals he has done the hard work to create these opportunities. Sue Auclair, president of Sue Auclair Promotions, who worked with Taylor starting back in 1981, when Miles Davis was booked at KIX in Boston, reflects, "I've probably done about a thousand shows with him [Taylor]." He clearly lived the maxim of one of his favorite lines, "An overnight success is about 18 years."
His "ear" for talent wasn't a coincidence, as shown in chapter after chapter, listening for what he refers to as "a quality that stands out—beyond good, then there's great." In example, Taylor admittedly not a "specialist" in rock, heard a ballad singer at William Morris Agency in New York City in the early '70s, playing with a Dylan-like style and using street poetry. Taylor booked and promoted a then un-discovered Bruce Springsteen into his Boston clubs, and his sets sold-out.
The word "wow" is a frequent register for his ear. He describes the reaction of "excitement, a vibration, something resonates" when he first heard the sophisticated pop-jazz hybrid voicings of singer Norah Jones on the demo of her debut Come Away with Me (Blue Note, 2002). Jones has since sold more than 50 million records and received multiple music awards.
In 2004, child prodigy and jazz saxophonist and vocalist Grace Kelly came to his attention when she was 13 and her father Bob Kelly brought her for an impromptu audition, where she then floored Taylor with her version of "Over the Rainbow." With his support, Kelly would release two CD's by her 14th birthday, and has since performed around the world and recorded with Phil Woods, Dave Brubeck, Lin-Manual Miranda, Harry Connick, Jr., Gloria Estefan, Wynton Marsalis and many other stellar musicians. Throughout these professional chapters of Taylor's life, his appetite for listening, and seeking to have that "wow" moment, never seems to have diminished.
In 1965, Taylor and his business partner Tony Mauriello, would finally have their own venue from which to stage talent. Purchasing two nightclubs on Boylston Street near Copley Square and renaming them Paul's Mall and the Jazz Workshop, Taylor "broke" many upcoming musicians there from Bruce Springsteen to Earth, Wind & Fire and also comedians Lily Tomlin and Flip Wilson. With his love for jazz, Taylor's two clubs particularly favored legendary musicians such as Ellington, Coltrane and Getz but also pushed the developing jazz fusion scene. With the next door proximity of Boston's renown music school Berklee College of Music, leading jazz-fusion players like Pat Metheny, John Scofield and Al Di Meola and many others frequented the club in the '70s.
He also recounts a special relationship with legendary jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis. Davis, known for eccentricities and directness, squared-off with Taylor his first night performing at the Jazz Workshop. Taylor asked how he'd like to "run his sets," and Davis replied, "I came here to play, man." Taylor relates, "I told him we opened at nine and closed at two and he was in charge, and I went away." After the set, Davis asked him what he thought of the band and Taylor told him that he thought they could be better. Surprised at Taylor's directness, Davis said, "you know, you are right." According to Taylor, "that little interaction set our relationship. Miles didn't like any flattery or puffery." They maintained a life-long musical connection and Davis would only come to Taylor for bookings in Boston, also breaking the seminal jazz-rock release Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970) at the Jazz Workshop in 1970.
The second anchored part of Taylor's night club business career was the genesis of Scullers Jazz Club at the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel in Boston starting in 1991. Here, under his dynamic booking management, Boston and New England would be offered an enormous variety of renowned talent and the brightest upcoming stars as well as second chances for musicians seeking a comeback. Featured, on any given night, was a worthy newcomer or a top-drawer performer like Tony Bennett, Lou Rawls, Wynton Marsalis, Harry Connick, Jr., Quincy Jones, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, et al.
And again, the personal touch was always there, caring for the audience and wanting feedback, "I liked to stand by the doorway afterward, mingling with the people leaving. I was gratified whenever someone said, 'Keep this music going, this is wonderful.' It made me feel like I was the keeper of the flame."
What, and Give Up Showbiz closes with the establishment of the "Fred Taylor Endowed Scholarship Fund" at Berklee College of Music in 2017. An honor that completely surprised Taylor in the twilight of his career and life, "As you get older, you start to wonder if you made your mark, if you have a legacy that will be remembered after you're gone. Here is the answer—very meaningful, I can' tell you how humbling this is for me."
On September of 2017, the brightest stars gathered at The Berklee Performance Center for a gala celebration for a scholarship fundraiser, delivering heartfelt performances. Taylor was kidded that for once he had no booking or promotional role. Many renown members of the jazz community also had words of tribute for Taylor that evening, thanking him for their first booking and on-going support. Phenomenal jazz guitarist, composer and virtuoso Pat Metheny recalled Taylor's sincere interest and generosity, "Fred really listened to the music... and there are standards set that represent honesty and decency... and an infrastructure that can only exist with people like Fred Taylor... otherwise we would not have had a platform."
Taylor's other adoptive family receive his deserving special mention. Bob Kelly and Irene Chang, Grace Kelly's parents, who developed the idea for the "Fred Taylor Endowed Scholarship Fund," became intimate friends and caring supporters of this promotional and booking machine, who never stopped to look after his own health.
But clearly, on this amazing personal journey, through six decades behind the scenes in the music business and getting acts on stage, Taylor didn't want to stop for a moment. As often quoted by this master impresario of the music industry, and a paraphrase from legendary jazz composer, arranger and pianist Duke Ellington, "You can talk about the past, but the future is much more interesting."

Going Places Educational Travel Blog - Why Is Passports the Educator's Choice for Student Travel?
Why Is Passports the Educator's Choice for Student Travel?
At passports, we have long believed in travel being an integral part of the American student's education. But as you know, the preparation for a student tour begins long before you get on an airplane. It starts in the classroom, with you, the teachers.
Did you know that passports offers a series of comprehensive lesson plans that link the classroom directly to the overseas experience?
Many of you already structure your academic calendar with consideration to your upcoming tour and we think that's fantastic. We also know that teachers often spend more time writing lesson plans than implementing them. That's why we offer an extensive library of travel-related lesson plans as a free resource to all group organizers.
Collaborative, interdisciplinary, multi-dimensional lesson plans generate excitement for your trip. They engage the students in a classroom experience because they are personally invested and they can also be leveraged to gain support from your administration.
The lesson plans are targeted at your specific travel destinations. This is critical to engage the students – as you know how difficult that can be sometimes. The upcoming reality of actually visiting the places they are hearing about, the day's lesson will be real in their mind.
Using the suggested lesson plan extensions while on tour – like finding examples of the impressions left by Spanish monarchs in the Palacio Real, or a treasure hunt in the Louvre – your students will have learned via both the abstract and concrete. That is true experiential learning built on the pillars built back home, by you, in your classroom.
These are the kinds of things students, parents, and administrators can get excited about.
Which brings up another point – gaining the support of your administration can sometimes be a challenge. In the thousands of trips that we have run at passports, we have found that the closer the classroom experience matches the overseas experience, the more supportive school administrators become. They want to see the trip as part of the curriculum. You can make this point by showing the lesson plans that were strategically designed to not only engage the students, but also to satisfy and exceed curriculum standards.
Each of our lesson plans contain: an academic summary, listing of standards compliance, objectives, materials if applicable, a procedure that encourages critical thinking, the on-tour extensions that we talked about, relevant research links, key terms, and worksheets/homework sheets when appropriate.
Consider the lesson plans a token of our appreciation for all you do. The students who explore the world through passports are not accidental tourists. Their extraordinary journeys are accomplished only because of the pro-active, dedicated support of teachers like you.
Passports was created by educators. That's why we strive to be the educator's first choice for student travel.

The "Horizontal Effect" of Constitutional Rights
Stephen Gardbaum, UCLA School of LawFollow
Among the most fundamental issues in constitutional law is the scope of application of individual rights provisions and, in particular, their reach into the private sphere. This issue is also currently one of the most important and hotly debated in comparative constitutional law, where it is known under the rubric of "vertical" and "horizontal effect." These alternatives refer to whether constitutional rights regulate only the conduct of governmental actors in their dealings with private individuals (vertical) or also relations between private individuals (horizontal). In recent years, the horizontal position has been adopted to varying degrees, and after systematic scholarly and judicial debate, in Ireland, Canada, Germany, South Africa, and the European Union, among others. The issue has also been the topic of sustained debate in the United Kingdom following enactment of the Human Rights Act of 1998, for it remains an open and arguable question whether, and to what extent, the rights it protects will have horizontal as well as vertical effect. In the United States, by contrast, this fundamental issue has long been deemed fully and definitively resolved by a constitutional axiom: the state action doctrine. With the exception of the Thirteenth Amendment, both the text and authoritative precedent make clear that with respect to its individual rights provisions, the Constitution binds only governmental actors and not private individuals. End of story.

Home / News / Events / Retail: Survival of the Fittest in the Digital Age.
Retail: Survival of the Fittest in the Digital Age.
The future of retail remains a hot topic. Game-changing technology continues to impact traditional brick-and-mortar, making this historically dynamic market ever more so. Headlines continue to promote the debate with store closing announcements and shopping habit trend pieces. Yet at RSP, our retail teams are as busy as ever.
We convinced four of them to slow down enough to share their insights after attending the 2017 International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) CenterBuild conference. While each work with different clients on different retail project types, their collective experience and takeaways confirm that retail is, in fact, booming.
(listed from left to right)
Bill Wittrock AIA – With over 30 years of experience, Bill is a sketch artist with a passion for architecture. A talented and award-winning designer with a sense of humor, his expertise is in retail and large-scale mixed-use developments across the country.
Jeff Hysjulien AIA, LEED AP – As our mixed-use and lifestyle center expert, Jeff excels at providing innovative design solutions. He is a trusted advisor to his clients and colleagues and exudes a contagious enthusiasm for projects ranging from retail to health and wellness.
Jered Tucker LEED AP – An excellent multi-tasker, leader and client liaison, Jered is a model project manager. He has completed hundreds of Target projects, from NYC to LA. He is diligent in providing high-quality work with a bit of gusto to keep things fun.
Jackie Miller – From retail and restaurant to a bit of hospitality, Jackie understands that the details make all the difference. As our resident millennial and trend expert, she gets that architecture can be curated to deliver a superior experience for the client and the end user.
Q: At the conference, Garrick Brown, Vice President of Retail Research with Cushman & Wakefield was the keynote speaker. What helped validate your understanding of where we're at in the market?
A: Jeff Hysjulien – There has been a convergence of four main factors resulting in the current state of the retail market. This convergence has resulted in the, so-called, "apocalypse" we are in today. Brown presented the following reasons:
Acceleration of newCommerce (connecting retail services, logistics, industrial and e-commerce)
Over retailed marketplace
Race to the bottom discounting (rise of off-price)
Shifting consumer patterns (millennials spending differently than in the past)
Q: From these factors, how does this relate to your day-to-day work?
A: Jered Tucker – The number of retail stores closing is almost equal to the number of stores opening this year. Brown's presentation highlighted the fact that retail is not dying, it's simply being reimagined. Online traffic is taking over brick and mortar shops but successful retailers are managing to adapt by fully integrating physical stores with their e-commerce presence.He noted the largest expansion categories for retail in 2017 and 2018 are discount stores. We agree and have witnessed it in our work with Target. They are catering to consumers by opening small format urban stores, remodeling existing stores, launching new in-house brands and filling over half of their online orders from the stores – thus proving how important the brick and mortar location is. These investments were reflected over the 2017 holiday with strong sales for the Minneapolis based retailer.
"Target sales up 3.4% from last year – exceeding forecasted expectations," according to Fortune.
A: Jackie Miller – These investments are making all the difference. A key theme at the conference was about the opportunities that exist in redefining existing retail spaces. The focus now is catering to Millennials and creating community-based experiences. The retailers that are blending the physical with the digital are flourishing. Target is using their stores as "pseudo" warehouses to assist with speedier service for their online sales. These proactive measures are making all the difference to the customer and the business.
Millennials, like myself, appreciate the discount stores' convenience and prices. But it's important to have options. Like supporting local businesses and encouraging ethical consumerism. Demanding good customer service and a memorable experience while expecting a matchless online presence. And don't forget about expedited shipping. The industry is changing rapidly and the demand for improving the experience is high. But the possibilities are exciting. We, the consumer, are having more of a say.
Q: While we're all busy embracing the physical and digital trends, what is going on in the food and beverage portion of the industry?
A: Jackie Miller – The drinking and dining experience is hot right now. It's all about the experience. I think everyone can appreciate good food, but patrons are insisting on a fun experience on top of that – an experience they can share on all their social platforms. Craft breweries, for example, are allowing consumers to observe the inner workings of their craft while enjoying the fruits of their labor all in one location. They are embracing local flair and either accommodating their own chefs or partnering with the food truck scene.
People want to be entertained with a one-of-a-kind experience. Brown echoed this numerous times. Millennials are spending more on experiences than stuff. The brewery scene alone is growing at an astonishing rate and the trend has not yet matured across the nation. Fulton Brewery and Venn Brewing are just two of the many craft breweries in Minneapolis that RSP has designed, and more are in the works.
"Ten years ago, there were approximately 1,500 combined brewpubs, microbreweries and regional breweries across the country. Today, there are over 5,000."
Fulton Brewery, Minneapolis, MN
Q: Jeff, as a lifestyle center expert how are you, as a designer, catering to the diverse crowd of consumers?
A: Jeff Hysjulien – Victor Gruen, the father of the American shopping mall said: "Give people a reason to come." I find that true in every project I touch. I presented a case study at CenterBuild this year about a collaborative project with Simon Property Group and Life Time. We are repositioning an anchor retailer into an experiential lifestyle center to provide a more appealing destination. The industry is redefining what a traditional shopping mall anchor can be. Our project is diversifying the site to include a fitness center, a co-working space, an indoor sports arena, dining opportunities and more – giving people another reason to come to the mall.
Jackie mentioned Millennials, but people of all ages are spending more money on experiences like traveling, dining out, gym memberships, entertainment and technology than clothing and accessories. As designers, we need to work collaboratively with developers and owners to drive traffic. Again, give people a reason to come. Repositioning existing malls, strip centers and downtown buildings is our reactive approach to this evolution. For example, RSP's transformation of a former Macy's in downtown St. Paul, MN into a mixed-use destination is stimulating traffic into a once quiet building. Like Jackie said, it's all about finding the opportunity to redefine existing retail spaces.
Q: On the other hand, we have seen new suburban shopping developments going up. How can existing retail compete?
CityPlace, Woodbury, MN
A: Bill Wittrock – There are reactive opportunities, like renovating an existing space, and then there are proactive build-to-suit opportunities. The vast majority of retail is located in the suburbs. Why? Because over 50 percent of the population live in the suburbs. Brown's research verified that urban household growth has doubled its usual rate in the past decade. But the suburbs will continue to attract families and retail growth. Some of the biggest work we are doing in our retail studio is the large suburban mixed-use retail centers.
CityPlace and Central Park Commons, just completed in Minnesota, are two mixed-use open-air lifestyle centers RSP designed from the ground up. From the large scale master plan to the details of the lighting and unique brick patterns, the goal is to create a one-of-a-kind experience. A work-play-stay community with convenient pathways that welcome pedestrians and bikers. These attractive multi-purpose destinations are going up in suburbs across the country.
We are creating high-quality destinations. The goal with the multi-tenant mix is to attract people to the site, for a variety of reasons, and give them a reason to stay longer. Public spaces with artwork, greenspace and seating. Lighted pathways for comfortable window shopping, dog walking and biking. Theaters and dining. Fitness centers and office buildings. Housing and hotels. Attractive architecture can create cozy environments with a community feel offering a one-of-a-kind experience for millennials, young families and empty nesters.
Q: Exciting things are happening in retail right now. It is a fast-moving industry. How do you keep up?
A: Jered Tucker – Yes, there is a lot happening right now, but that's always the case with retail. It's why we all love it. Our clients are embracing change and strong, collaborative partners in these new frontiers. Retail has been a cornerstone of our firm since the beginning. It never gets old nor will it ever go away. Consumers will always want the shopping experience and we will be here dreaming up new ways to make it fresh and exciting. It's why we do what we do.

Q: Prove $x^4-18x^2+36x-27$ can never be a nonzero square rational when $x$ is rational Prove $x^4-18x^2+36x-27$ can never be a square rational (excluding 0), when x is rational
I have tried to use modulus, but didn't get anywhere, any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: The equation $y^2=x^4-18x^2+36x-27$ is birationally equivalent to the elliptic curve $w^2=z^3-432$, with $x=\frac{w-36}{2(z-12)}$. This curve has rank $0$ and torsion group $\mathbb Z/3\mathbb Z$, hence only two rational points $(z,w)=(12,\pm36)$. If we substitute these points into the formula for $x$, the positive $w$ gives the excluded $x=3$ solution and the negative $w$ incurs a division by zero. Hence $x^4-18x^2+36x-27$ can never be a nonzero rational square for rational $x$.

A: Say $x^4-18*x^2+36*x-27 = n^2$
The polynomial factors up
$(x-3)*(x^3+3*x^2-9*x+9) = n^2$
It means that if $x-3$ is a perfect square, then $x^3+3*x^2-9*x+9
$ is also a perfect square or both aren't perfect square
Just like $36=9×4=12×3$
If  $x-3$ is not a perfect square, then polynomial $x^3+3*x^2-9*x+9$ is not also a perfect, therefore it must factor up further, Just like $36=12×3=4×3×3$
But $x^3+3*x^2-9*x+9$ does not factor
It doesn't factor as supposed, it has to factor into $(x-3)*(x-a)^2$ in my definition, but there's no value of $a$ to fix this therefore $x^3+3*x^2-9*x+9$ does not factor to $(x-3)*(x-a)^2$
Say $x-3 = k^2$, $x = 3+k^2$
$(3+k^2)^3+3*(3+k^2)^2-9*(3+k^2)+9 = (n/k)^2$
$k^6+12*k^4+36*k^2+36 = (n/k)^2$
$k^2*(k^2+6)^2+36 = (n/k)^2$
$(k\cdot(k^2+6))^2 + 6^2 = (n/k)^2$
It's easy to see that no integer $k$ exist to that make this a perfect square
Therefore $x^4-18*x^2+36*x-27$ is not a perfect square

The predictions seemed to come from every direction, but the message remained the same: Interest rates for mortgages would come close, if not hit, 7 percent by the end of this year.
Now, more than halfway through 2004, it seems unlikely that interest rates will hit that 7 percent mark as originally predicted. Instead, they're still hovering around 6 percent, despite one hike in the federal funds target rate and another, which is widely expected to happen today.


And welcome to the first post of 2012. Our New Year holiday was low-key and intimate, much like our Christmas (and the older I get, the better I feel about that). We hung out at Dan & Trish's with some friends, and, since I was fighting a headache, I stuck to water and remained the DD for the evening.
"Normal" being the occasional wake-up call at 3, 4 or (if I'm lucky) 5AM. This morning it was 3. I know when this happens, I can usually parlay it into some productive time while the rest of the household is still sleeping, but it still messes with my ideal schedule.
And today I realized that I used to be an incredibly sound sleeper. Never really had a problem with 3AM awakenings until after Samantha died. Go figure. There's likely some hyper-vigilant sense being triggered.
Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet.

COSCO's Heavy-Lift Ship Crosses Northern Sea Route(marine crane manufacturer;offshore crane manufacturer)
- Sep 20, 2018-
The route links Asia to Europe through the Western Pacific Ocean, the Bering Strait and the Arctic Ocean, and is shorter than the Suez Canal route by around 2,700 nautical miles.
Tian En set sail on August 4 from Lianyungang City of east China's Jiangsu Province, heading for Europe.
The COSCO-owned heavy-lift ship is loaded with wind power equipment imported by Europe from China.
Commercial shipping in the Arctic has been under spotlight over the recent period, especially upon Maersk's announcement on sending a containership through the Northern Sea Route to explore the commercial potential of the lane.
Commenting on the journey, the Clean Arctic Alliance called on COSCO to make public the nature of the fuel that the Tian En has used and carried through Arctic waters.
Environmentalists have been very vocal about the risks emerging from the practice, due to the lack of available infrastructure in the area because of its remoteness to deal with a potential oil spill and shipping incidents.
"With Arctic summer sea ice at approximately half the extent it was in the 1970s and half the volume, and following the news that the region's strongest sea ice has broken up twice this year, for the first time on record, using heavy fuel oil to power shipping in the Arctic is a poor choice. It not only increases the risk of oil spills, but also generates emissions of black carbon, which exacerbate the melting of both sea and glacier ice in the Arctic region," Clean Arctic Alliance Lead Advisor Sian Prior said.
"Cosco should be leading a vanguard of companies interested in shipping commercial goods through the Arctic, as they move towards clean and renewable forms of propulsion for Arctic shipping."
"There is nothing for shipping companies to celebrate about the melting of the Arctic ice. Using the Arctic as a passage is a privilege that brings responsibility," said Chen Jiliang, researcher from Greenovation Hub, an environmental NGO based in Beijing.

RUNOFF AT UCONN TOO CLOSE TO CALL
By TERRY PRICE; Courant Staff Writer
STORRS -- — There is almost no daylight between UConn running backs Terry Caulley and Cornell Brockington.
Caulley has rushed for 1,854 yards in his career, eighth on the UConn list.
Brockington has rushed for 1,861 yards, seventh among Huskies.
Caulley has rushed for 22 touchdowns; Brockington, 21.
Caulley has eight career 100-yard games; Brockington, 10.
Caulley has 39 career receptions for 286 yards; Brockington, 41 for 295.
They're nearly identical in another way. Neither will say much, if anything, about the competition to earn the starting position this season.
"I don't have anything to say about that," Brockington said Wednesday.
"I don't know about that," said Caulley.
It won't be their decision, so even though it's in their hands as far as what they do on the practice field, it's really out of their hands.
Coach Randy Edsall presumably will name a starter for the Sept. 1 opener against Buffalo and have the other one ready to go in.
"We're fortunate that we have two guys that can go out there and contribute," Edsall said.
From all indications, Edsall will use both Caulley and Brockington extensively.
"The big thing is who we're playing and what they're doing will dictate a lot of things in terms of who's getting the ball and how we use them," Edsall said.
"It's a good opportunity to have guys like that because there is a lot more things you can do offensively when you have people of that ability."
Caulley, 5 feet 7, 187 pounds, missed the 2004 season recovering from a right knee injury sustained Sept. 27, 2003, against Virginia Tech.
Caulley, who was leading the nation in rushing when he was injured, has looked good in the first week of practice.
"I've just got to get in game shape and get ready to play for the season," he said. "I've worked all summer to get stronger and faster. Hopefully, the first game we'll see the outcome."
Brockington, who led the Big East in rushing last season with 1,218 yards, has been mildly chastised for not doing enough over the summer to get in top shape.
But that was the case last year, too.
Where Caulley is intent on proving he's all the way back, Brockington, 6 feet, 203 pounds, is more relaxed about the competition.
"It's no different," he said. "I go into every training camp to compete and get better."
Brockington said he is happy to have Caulley back.
"You can see he has that confidence back," Brockington said. "He looks good out there."
Brockington and Caulley, both juniors, competed in the Blue-White game at the end of spring practice in April. Brockington carried 17 times for 117 yards. Caulley had 12 carries for 73 yards.
Caulley was still testing his knee. He is far less tentative now.
Caulley's explosiveness earned him the starting job as a freshman in 2002, when he rushed for 1,247 yards in 10 games.
That season, Caulley had runs of 68, 60, 54, 33, 33 and 27 yards. The first four games of his sophomore year, he averaged just over 150 yards rushing.
Brockington runs with a little more power than Caulley, which should make for a good combination.
"I don't think you can ever go through a season with just one guy," said Edsall, "and there's plenty enough things we can do to make sure both of them stay fresh and both of them get enough touches on the ball."
Edsall is happy with the considerable depth the Huskies have at running back, including sophomore Larry Taylor and freshmen Donald Brown and Andre Dixon.
"I feel very good about the running back position," Edsall said. "The two freshmen that we brought in are very good backs, as well. Donald Brown has shown some things. Andre Dixon will take the ball and run it downhill. Anthony Barksdale at fullback is another guy. Knock on wood we stay healthy, but I think we're fortunate that we have some good backs to utilize."


Chris Pine's hosting duties on Saturday Night Live this week gave him plenty of opportunities to play to his wheelhouse of "Star Trek Captain" and "Fratty Douche," but that persona got a little too real in a Handmaid's Tale sketch written by Anna Drezen and Sudi Green.
The women of the Republic of Gilead are trying to plan a resistance to the oppressive regime forcibly impregnating them and cutting out their eyes, when they are discovered by men—just a couple of regular bros who they used to party with. Pine's character keeps calling the four berobed ladies the "Girl Squad," and demands to know why they haven't been showing up to epic blowouts anymore. It's pretty hard to laugh at, and highlights the ways that people who are unaffected by repressive crackdowns can forget about them for as long as they like.
But it's not that they don't care! Pine and his bros are willing to help—if it's convenient. In this vignette, it's not the bastards who grind you down, it's the oblivious self-interest of your friends.
Isn't It Relevant That the Star of The Handmaid's Tale Belongs to a Secretive, Allegedly Oppressive Religion?

Magnussen to rejoin Haas for 2022
Haas have announced that their former driver, Kevin Magnussen, will be returning to the team to partner Mick Schumacher for 2022.
It was announced at the weekend that the Haas F1 Team would be parting ways with their title sponsor, Uralkali, and the driver that came with that deal, Nikita Mazepin, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Given the sanctions that have been placed on Russia and the fact that Mazepin's father, one of the owners of Uralkali, has close links with Russian president Vladimir Putin, that decision had been expected since Haas removed all sponsorship logos and colours for the final day of testing in February.
Since then though the question of who would race alongside Mick Schumacher for the season was the sport's talking point. Haas had revealed that their reserve driver, Pietro Fittipaldi, would be called in for the second test but now he and Schumacher will be joined by the returning Magnussen in Bahrain.
After seven years in Formula 1, with the last four of those driving for Haas, Magnussen left the grid at the end of 2020 and since then has been racing in the American IMSA SportsCar championship with Chip Ganassi Racing. The Danish driver, along with his teammates, took five podiums including a win in the top class, the Daytona Prototype International, of the series last year.
Magnussen was set to continue in that series, having competed in the opening round at the 24 Hours of Daytona at the end of January, and was also going to race Le Mans Hypercars for Peugeot in the World Endurance Championship this year, but he has now been released from those contracts and signed a multi-year agreement with Haas.
"I was obviously very surprised but equally very excited to receive the call from Haas F1 Team," Magnussen said. "I was looking in a different direction regarding my commitments for 2022 but the opportunity to return to compete in Formula 1, and with a team I know extremely well, was simply too appealing. I really have to say thank you to both Peugeot and Chip Ganassi Racing for releasing me promptly – both are great organisations."
"Naturally, I also want to thank Gene Haas and Guenther Steiner for the chance to resume my Formula 1 career – I know just how competitive they both are and how keen they are to return to competing week in and week out. We've enjoyed a solid relationship and our positive association remained even when I left at the end of 2020. I've been briefed as much as possible on the development of the VF-22 and the potential in the package. There's work to do but I'm excited to be a part of it. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car in Bahrain."
Haas Team Principal, Guenther Steiner, said that choosing Magnussen as Mazepin's replacement was an easy decision and that his experience with Haas will give the team a benchmark for the performance of the new car.
"I'm delighted to welcome Kevin Magnussen back to Haas F1 Team," commented Guenther Steiner, Team Principal of Haas F1 Team. "When looking for a driver who could bring value to the team, not to mention a wealth of Formula 1 experience, Kevin was a straightforward decision for us. Kevin's immediate availability means we can tap into him as a resource for pre-season testing alongside both Mick Schumacher and Pietro Fittipaldi. Pietro's going to be first in this week with half a day's running at the test on Thursday – that's a great opportunity for him, with Mick and Kevin doing the rest ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix."
"Kevin was a key component in our previous successes – not least when we both scored our best finishes in Formula 1 back in 2018. He continued to show last year that he's an elite race car driver adding wins and podiums to his resume. As a veteran presence in both the garage and the engineering room, he'll provide a solid benchmark for us with the on-going development of the VF-22. We're all looking forward to welcoming Kevin back this week in Bahrain."
The American team will miss the morning session of tomorrow's first day of testing in Bahrain as their freight was delayed leaving the UK and lost them 48 hours of preparation time. Haas' current plan is to have Fittipaldi out in the car on Thursday afternoon.

Himanshu Shangari News coverage for Heaven and Hell Within 03.
'Witness your intellect from inside and learn to grow it, Himanshu in 'Heaven and Hell Within Part 3'.
Author, Astrologer and Personality Developer Himanshu Shangari shared some thoughts on the concept of intellect, as explained in his book 'Heaven and Hell Within 03'.
'The personality of each human being at any time is the resultant of interactions of four important entities within him or her and these entities are intellect, heart, ego and conscience. All these entities exist within us, in different strengths and they have different characteristics or roles. Whenever we come across any situation; these entities start guiding us as to how we should deal with such situation'.
'Different people witness these entities with different strengths depending on the journeys of their souls so far. Whichever entity is the strongest among these four in case of a person; such entity influences him the most and hence his decisions or acts have signatures of that entity'.
'People who have intellect much stronger than heart, ego or conscience tend to benefit a lot in the fields which require the application of intellect, more than that of any other entity. However, the same people tend to suffer in fields which require the application of heart, to give good results; as they may use intellect instead of using heart in these fields'.
'Hence people ruled by intellect may do well in anything dealing with knowledge and application of knowledge of any type. On the other hand, they may fail to do well in personal life because relationships are ruled by heart and hence the use of intellect in this field brings bad result in general'.
'There's a strong conflict between intellect and heart; just like the conflict between ego and conscience. This book features the working of intellect, how you can grow more intellect; how you can benefit more through it, where and how you should avoid its use as doing so may create problems; and a number of other facts related to the intellect'.
'The book features a number of real life situations and it tells you how different type of people handle them. It means how you handle a situation if you're ruled by intellect; heart, ego or conscience. Advanced study of human behavior as well as spiritual growth is featured in this book and it goes deep in human psychology'.
'The fourth part of this series will deal with the heart and it will explain amazing facts related to the working as well as those related to the true potential of human heart'.

'Aamir is born with Aquarius rising at 6:14 AM. It is the horoscope of a person who may be intellectual, spiritual, sensitive, private, kind, helpful, emotionally vulnerable, impulsive, and at times misunderstood.
'He may be fond of learning new things and helping other people out. His mental plane is well equipped and it may give him good understanding of deeper aspects of many things. He may take interest in concepts like planets and universe as well as in the mechanism of different things. Hence he may spend significant amount of free time in quest of knowledge'.
'His emotional plane is the most difficult to handle among all five planes and his emotional impulses may land him into troubles, many times in his life. He may have deep attachment with home and family; and he may enjoy relaxing and partying at home, instead of going out to public places. He may love privacy and hence he may not like doing private things in public places'.
His spiritual growth also looks good though many people may not understand it. For him, being spiritual may mean respecting, understanding and caring for people in need and trying to make this world a better place to live.
The time till September 2019 looks good though the period between August 2017 and August 2018 may bring some upsets on family and financial fronts. September 2019 may mark the beginning of a new time zone which may put pressure on him, especially emotional pressure. Thus he may face problems on family front as well as other problems of personal type and such problems may affect his health in negative way. Hence he should take care'.
Wearing a White Sapphire can help him a lot. He may be advised to wear a Blue Sapphire or an Emerald but he should avoid them as they can cause harm if worn.

Author Himanshu Shangari shared highlights from Angelina Jolie's horoscope, featured in the third part of his book 'Deepest Secrets of Celebrities'.
'Angelina is born with Cancer rising. It is a rare type of horoscope as it features strong energies influencing her physical, mental, emotional and psychic planes. As a result, she may have an enhanced personality and she may be gifted physically, mentally, emotionally as well as psychically'.
'It is the horoscope of a beautiful, intellectual, emotional, sensitive, kind and intuitive person and this is what makes it special. It is difficult to find people who are intellectual and intuitive at the same time as both these energies don't go well with each other in general. Hence intellectual people may not be intuitive and vice versa in general'.
'However, she may carry both these energies very well and hence she is special. Her sharp intellect can help her achieve a lot in her professional life, her beautiful heart can help her do and enjoy great things in her personal life and her psychic abilities may help her mesmerize and control people as if by magic. Her psychic energy can make you do things she wants and you may not even know why'.
'Significant spiritual growth from past lives may encourage her to engage in selfless acts of kindness. The influence of divine energies is strong in her horoscope, which can help her a lot. She may feel the presence of a guardian angel with her, almost throughout her life. This divine energy may get her out of troubles and it may create miracles, many times in her life. Her horoscope indicates an upward pattern of spiritual growth, which means she may carry great amount of positive energy to her next life, through good karmas done in this life'.
'A man may appear in her life between October 2017 and December 2018 and this relationship may become a significant one. The period after October may also bring some health issues and they may trouble her if not attended to in time. Professional scope looks good for the coming times and hence she should do well in this field'.
'Wearing a Pearl can help her achieve better results in her life. A Red Coral or a Yellow Sapphire may be advised but they should be avoided as they can cause harm'.

'Discover and use the amazing power of your subconscious mind through 'Heaven and Hell Within'.
'Our conscious mind is used for new activities and our subconscious mind is used for repetitive activities. You go to a place first time; you consciously try to find the correct path. You keep going to the same place and you start taking the correct turns automatically. When you did so first time, your conscious mind did this job and hence you did it actively'.
'Through repetition, you stored preferences on your subconscious mind and it started doing this job for you. Since your subconscious mind is the hidden one, you can't feel its functioning in a conscious way. These acts happen automatically and we call them natural. Hence all that comes to you naturally; comes through subconscious mind and all that needs effort; comes through conscious mind'.
'Subconscious mind stores your preferences and knowledge from this life as well as from past lives and your personality is built upon these preferences called habits. Your net personality at any time is the sum total of good and bad habits stored on your subconscious mind throughout the journey of your soul. Hence if you have a habit, it simply means you've consciously done it a lot in your past lives and so your subconscious mind starts doing it automatically'.
'You try to dance and it all starts happening naturally. It means you've danced in lot in your past lives and it has become a habit. You're afraid of challenges from young age, it means you've consciously avoided them a lot in your past lives and it too has become a habit. Since subconscious mind is hidden, you may have no active memory of these habits. You consciously learn something in this life and you remember the source. The same knowledge goes to next life also, but you won't know the source then. Hence you call it gifted or natural.
'Though subconscious mind can't be controlled, it can be trained. It means through specific activities, you can get rid of any bad habit and you can develop any good habit. This way, you can achieve any type of personality and hence you may do anything possible with that personality type. All it takes is proper guidance and conscious effort. This book tells you how various bad habits form, what their symptoms are and how to get rid of them in an effective manner'.

'Your Aura is the sum total of your soul's journey so far, Himanshu in 'Heaven and Hell Within.
Author, Astrologer and Personality Developer Himanshu Shangari shared some thoughts on the concept of aura, as explained in his book 'Heaven and Hell Within'.
'Your aura at any point is the net equation of energy. Your good or bad karmas attract positive or negative energy and this energy is added to your aura. Hence your aura at any time is the sum total of the pending good and bad karmas; called your luck'.
'When you hurt a soul without valid reason, negative energy rises and it adds to your aura. When you serve a soul, positive energy rises and it adds to your aura. Positive energy in your aura attracts positive results whereas negative energy attracts negative results. This is how your luck is formed'.
'We keep doing karmas and hence our auras keep changing due to regular addition of energies of both types, depending on the nature of our karmas. Since your aura is your luck at any time, having net negative aura is bad luck and having net positive aura is good luck. As the positive or negative energy in your aura is controlled by you through your karmas; only you're the maker of your luck or destiny'.
'This is why you should avoid bad karmas and engage in good karmas so that you may have good luck. A person with best skills may fail and a person with average skills may receive fortunes. The former has pending negative energy and the latter has pending positive energy in his aura. So these energies attract positive or negative results to balance out'.
'Spiritual growth teaches you to collect positive energy and choose where to spend it. If you wish to become an actor or another professional, this energy can bring you success. If you wish to achieve liberation, spiritual growth helps you do so through Nishkaam Karma which means earning positive energy through good karmas and saving it by not wishing for fruit'.
'So if you keep earning and spending positive energy, you achieve material success. If you keep earning and saving positive energy, you move towards liberation. Since your desires require positive energy to be fulfilled, they keep you away from being liberated as you keep losing energy. This is why desires are considered bad for liberation which is achieved when your aura has an extremely high amount of positive energy and no amount of negative energy.

Himanshu Shangari News for Heaven and Hell Within.
Author, Astrologer and Personality Developer Himanshu Shangari spoke about his well acclaimed book, 'Heaven and Hell Within' which shows the path to karmic personality development.
'Many people think spiritual growth and material success are opposite, which is not true. Spiritual growth means evolving your soul and developing higher conscience. As you achieve higher conscience, you're able to understand the deepest elements of everything; very quickly. Your vision widens and you're able to see and understand things which you couldn't see before.
'Once you achieve such spiritual growth, what you do with it is entirely dependent on you. For instance, if you wish, you may become a wonderful actor as you may grab even the finest details of acting. Similarly, you may become a successful writer, doctor, consultant, businessman, officer or anything you want; if you're spiritually grown'.
'Likewise, if you choose the path of liberation, spiritual growth proves very helpful and your journey becomes shorter; just as in case of materialistic journeys. Spiritual growth helps you achieve your goals quickly; whether you use it for material success or liberation is your choice'.
'This book shows the way to spiritual growth. The first section of this book gives you deep understanding about the concept of your soul, the subconscious mind, the aura, the universe, transfer of energy through karmas, people and places; and many other concepts'.
'The second section deals with negative habits as they restrict your spiritual growth and thus your success. A very deep approach helps you understand the root cause of these habits and it then tells you how to get rid of them in the best possible ways. These habits include lack of courage, negative attitude, lack of confidence, too much anger and many other habits'.
'The book mentions scientific reasons for why every soul is born at a particular time and place, why it is different from the others, how good and bad karmas affect us, how the company we keep affects us, how visiting religious places helps us, how we can become gods and many other such things. All these concepts have been explained in terms of energy, in a purely scientific manner. It also explains three factors essential for success; desire to achieve, effort required and sufficient positive energy which is called good luck and it is the sum total of your good karmas at any time '.

Himanshu Shangari News for launch of 42nd book, Deepest Secrets of Celebrities Part 2.
42nd book of Author, astrologer and personality developer Himanshu Shangari has released. This book is a sequel to his 41st book and it features horoscopes of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Sanjay Dutt. The author shared some thoughts on this book.
'The first part of this book generated very good response. The readers asked me to write about these celebrities and so I included them in this part. Some people may think this book is all about astrology, it is not so'.
'This book only needs basic understanding of astrology and it mentions a number of real life examples to understand things in the best possible way. The book features a lot of psychological and spiritual philosophy'.
'Astrology is perfectly scientific and nothing else. If the horoscope of a person tells about his life, his life should also tell about his true horoscope as both must be in harmony at all times. This is how I've calculated their times of birth from their life events and dates of birth'.
'The objective of this series of books is to establish Vedic astrology as a science and to make people aware of the inner beauty of their favorite celebrities. This book tells you how intelligent and spiritually enhanced Aishwarya may be in her real life, how caring and loving Kareena may be, how kind and generous Priyanka may be and how innocent and pure Sanjay Dutt may be'.
'Each analysis is detailed, taking about 50 pages, in order to discover the deepest layers of their personalities. This book also mentions future predictions for these celebrities and it suggests cautions and remedies too, so that they may make the most of the coming times'.
The author says his 43rd book will be the third part of this series. 'I have already received many requests to write about a number of celebrities. The next part may include Aamir Khan, Angelina Jolie and Kajol Devgan; among some other celebrities', he adds.
'Spirituality, karma and astrology are not independent and they are deeply interlinked. Hence you have to understand spirituality and karma if you want to become an expert astrologer. Your karmas decide your fate or horoscope and your spiritual growth decides your karmas. This is why I put so much emphasis on good karmas and spiritual growth, as there is no good fate without them', the author concludes.

Himanshu Shangari News for Priyanka Chopra's Horoscope Analysis and Predictions.
Diversion ahead for Priyanka, Himanshu in 'Deepest Secrets of Celebrities Part 2'.
Author Himanshu Shangari shared highlights from Priyanka Chopra's horoscope, featured in his book 'Deepest Secrets of Celebrities 02'.
"As per my calculations, she's born around 3:47 AM with Gemini rising, as derived from her date of birth and her life events. It is the horoscope of a person with a kind and beautiful heart. This horoscope is spiritually activated, physically charged, mentally enhanced and emotionally troubled. Her mental plane is the strongest, giving her wonderful intellect. The emotional plane looks troubled, making her vulnerable to emotional setbacks, which may come from her loved ones".
"There may already be a lot of negative energy on her emotional plane and some of it may go to her mental plane also; resulting in emotional and mental disturbances at times. Love life in particular may prove troublesome, resulting in serious emotional setbacks at different times".
"Significant changes may hit her during July 2017 and January 2020. These times may change her focus from profession to personal life. Her equation with her mother, brother, family, home and personal relations may be redefined during this period and the new definitions may be achieved after a period of disturbances and problems".
"Her profession may also get affected indirectly, due to her focus shifting on personal life. However, her chart is very good for profession and barring some of the coming years, she may keep achieving very good professional results till late in her life".
"For marriage, the periods of August 17 to July 18, 2020 and 2023 are supportive. August 17 to July 18 may bring a marriage of compromise if she chooses to get married there, year 2020 may bring a marriage of choice and freedom; and 2023 year may bring a marriage of status and strength. Marriage, if it happens during August 17-July 18, may result in significant disturbances and may eventually get dissolved".
"Wearing a 5-6 carat Emerald may help in many ways. A Diamond, Opel, Blue Sapphire or Hessonite may be advised by some, all of them may end up creating more problems, especially more emotional and mental disturbances. Hence she should avoid them, as they may make her insecure and negative in approach, especially towards people and relationships".

Himanshu Shangari News for Sanjay Dutt's Horoscope Analysis and Predictions.
The Phoenix will rise again, says Himanshu about Sanjay Dutt.
Author Himanshu Shangari shared highlights from Sanjay Dutt's horoscope, to be featured in the sequel of his book 'Deepest Secrets of Top Celebrities'.
"I've learned he has his time of birth after 2 PM with Scorpio as his ascendant, which is incorrect. Sanjay Dutt was born around 1:56 PM with Libra as his ascendant, and that's for sure. Major events of his life like his mother, substance addiction, unfortunate imprisonments and marriages are not explained after 2 PM and they're explained perfectly with 1:56 PM. Hence he should have faith in me and correct his birth time", he said.
"It is the horoscope of a warrior; a spiritual, emotional and kind warrior. Positive energies may make him kind, caring and protective. He may be perceived good and he may actually be even better than this perception. He may engage in acts of kindness and charity from time to time, and he may not even tell anyone about them; the true mark of a blessed soul", says Himanshu.
"Venus, Mars and Saturn give him the ability of the Phoenix bird, which may revive him each time he falls. It felt like he touched my soul while I was analyzing his horoscope, an obvious impact of his blessed aura. An ascetic in the past life and a king or kingly saint in the coming life", he added.
"His career will boom once again in the coming 5 years and this period is good for most spheres of his life, except his health. Problems related to heart or blood may start gaining strength after a few months and they may strike between August 2018 and October 2019. Hence he should take care".
"Suitable gemstones can only be advised after a personal discussion as his horoscope is complex. He's advised not to wear any gemstones. Getting Jupiter Pooja with Saturn Kavach performed regularly can help a lot. Care should be taken that this Pooja is performed properly or it may have negative impact".
Himanshu Shangari News for Kareena Kapoor Khan's Horoscope Analysis and Predictions.
The author shared some highlights from Kareena Kapoor Khan's horoscope, to be featured in the sequel of his book.
As per my calculations, she's born with Cancer rising around 2:10 AM, though her time looked around 9:30 AM at a time. An emotionally emphatic, mentally engaging and psychically enhanced person is what I see.
She seems to have good emotional command over her loved ones as her emotional plane is highly energized, enabling her to cast strong emotional impacts. The mental plane seems super activated and she may not be able to keep it empty, even for a minute. It's like an ocean of thoughts, with one wave after the other.
The psychic plane is also strong and it can give her good sense of intuition. Her psychic energy or intuition may bring some of the most meaningful things and people to her. Her emotional intuition in particular may be very strong.
The negative energies may cause problems on her mental and physical planes. Physically, she may be prone to issues related to stomach and heart, where the former may have already shown to some extent and the latter may appear later on. Mentally, issues like anxiety and stress may trouble her, and they may already have started.
Her marriage seems an unfinished affair from her past life, which was supposed to be finished during this life. She's likely to have artistic or authoritative children. It means they may become artists or hold authority in government.
The coming times may prove challenging and they may test her on mental as well as on personal level. Hence she should take good care of herself and she should also be watchful of the stress that may appear in her marriage. These changes have just started and they may start affecting her soon.
The period between September 2017 and December 2019 may especially prove difficult for her health as well as for marriage, so care needs to be taken.
Wearing a Pearl can help her. Wearing a Red Coral can help her health but it can have negative impact on her marriage. A Yellow Sapphire may be advised by some, but it can create inner conflict, arguments, health problems and relationship problems, if worn.
Getting Rahu Pooja with Moon Kavach performed regularly can help a lot. Care should be taken that this Pooja is performed properly or it may have negative impact.

Q: How to Deploy Google Apps Script for Domain? I have a script that I would like to make available to all the users of our Google Apps domain, but I don't want to publish it to the Chrome store. We would like to avoid deploying it from a single user account. How is this normally done?

A: It really depends on your use case, but there are a number of ways this might be achieved from publishing a code library (and limiting the sharing of the link), hosting it in a Google Site to publishing it as a url triggered webservice.
It depends on whether you want to share the functionality to others or literally the code.


TROOP 273 is a scout led that follows the ideals of Boy Scouting as spelled out in the Scout Oath, Scout Law, Scout Motto and the Scout Slogan. The Boy Scout measures himself against these ideals and continually strives to improve. Troop 273 has a 75-80% attendance record.
MEETING TIME: Mondays from 7 – 8:30 p.m.
CHARTER ORGANIZATION: St. Stephen Lutheran Church. Troop 273 will be celebrating 53 years in 2019.
OUTDOOR PROGRAMS: The Boy Scout program is designed to take place outdoors: three quarters of scouting is 'outing'. Our troop camps, hikes, swims, and get up close and personal with bugs, spiders, animals, mud, rain and snow.
ADULT LEADERSHIP: Boys learn a great deal by watching how adults conduct themselves. Adult association is also part of what we call a youth-led troop. The adults understand that their role is to create a safe place (2 deep leadership) where boys can learn, grow, explore and play while taking on responsibilities – and when they fail we encourage them to get up and try again. Our troop has a Scoutmaster and several Assistant Scoutmasters (at least 9 of the adult leaders and committee members are Eagle Scouts and 7 adult leaders are Wood Badge trained, which means they have taken scouting's premiere scouting course, to learn more click the link http://www.woodbadge.org/) who help with meetings and campouts. However, we are always looking for additional adult leaders to replace others that are transitioning out. Parents are more than welcome to volunteer and help during our meetings, activities and camping trips.
TROOP COMMITTEE: The committee is headed by the Committee Chair and assisted by the Secretary and Treasurer. The committee has several sub-committees which chair 1. Food/supplies 2. Court of Honor and Events 3. Fundraising and 4. Advancement. The Troop Committee meets the third Thursday of each month and parents are welcome to attend.
ACTIVITIES: Troop 273 does a special activity each month, often involving camping, but the troop members also enjoy a variety of other activities including: camping at Camp Manatoc, Seven Ranges, Boundary Waters in Minnesota, high adventure in Virginia , counsel and district Camporees, Klondike and canoeing, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (camping, museum and base visit), state park camping and backpacking, Iron Chef Competition and camping, Ski days, Cedar Point, swim parties, hiking and day trips, and camping just for the love of it while learning basic skills (knots, fire-building, cooking, whittling, etc). Troop 273 participates in numerous service projects for our charter organization and the community throughout the year.
COURT OF HONOR (COH): Troop 273 holds three (3) Court of Honors a year where the Scouts receive merit badges and are recognized for their rank advancement. We have a pot-luck dinner before each Court of Honor for the scouts and their families.
SUMMER CAMP: Troop 273 offers 2-3 summer camp opportunities for the Scouts. All scouts are encouraged to attend our Great Trail Council camp at Camp Manatoc. This is an excellent opportunity for rank advancement, merit badges, and bonding with the other scouts. Other opportunities include Seven Range Scout Camp, Sea Base, Philmont, Boundary Waters and various High Adventure opportunities.
UNIFORM: Like most sports teams a Boy Scout is required to wear a uniform properly when they are participating in the Boy Scout program. It is one of the methods of scouting. The Boy Scout is required to wear a Class A (full field uniform) scout shirt, with appropriate insignia, to each meeting along with green or khaki colored pants or shorts with belt loops. Class A uniforms must also be worn while traveling with the Troop. During the summer months scouts may choose to wear a Class B (activity uniform) 'Troop 273' or other scout related T-shirt to meetings and activities. Class A uniforms may be purchased at the Scout Shop in Stow or Kamper City in Peninsula. Class B T-shirts and hoodies may be purchased through Troop 273.
SCOUT HANDBOOK: Each scout must have a Scout Handbook, paper and pen at each meeting. Pertinent information to achieve each rank plus rank advancements are recorded in the Scout handbook. The books may be purchased from the Scout Shop or Kamper City.
MEDICAL FORMS: In order to camp or attend Troop activities, the Part A medical form is required for activities lasting less than 72 hours. Part B and Part C forms are required for all other activities and must be signed by a qualified physician. The forms must be renewed on a yearly basis. Sports Physicals are not accepted by the BSA.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT: Cell phones, iPods and MP3 players are not allowed. Adults have cell phones should there be a need to contact a parent(s) in an emergency.
FEES: $60 per year which includes the cost of Boys Life, rank advancements, merit badges and meetings. Weekend camping trips range in cost of $15 – $30 depending on the activities planned. Summer camp at Manatoc costs approximately $270.00. Other summer camps and high adventure camps are priced accordingly.
FUND RAISERS: Troop 273 sells BSA Trail's End popcorn in the fall and Malley's chocolate candy bars in the spring. Members are asked to participate in each fundraiser or make a donation to the Troop. A portion of each fundraiser goes to the troop (to pay for equipment and activities) while another portion goes to the scout for his "Scout Bucks Account" that can be used to fund scout related activities (uniforms, fees, camps and equipment).
COMMUNICATION: A Troop newsletter is distributed every Sunday morning through email. It contains a schedule of current and upcoming events along with pertinent information and announcements. Our troop also has a web-site available at: tmweb.troopmaster.com/Website/Home along with a private Facebook Group for members only (you must be a member to view the content). The preferred method of communication is through email but we do provide a phone list of the various patrols and adult leaders.
