Use this CA 3 Day Eviction Notice when a tenant has violated the lease agreement but the problem CAN be fixed (e.g. renter is smoking inside a no-smoking unit).
It happens. Your tenant does something that goes against the lease agreement that does not have to do with a rental payment. Perhaps it is sneaking in a dog or cat, inviting family and friends to move in who are not already listed on the lease or a simple failure to clean up the yard. What is a landlord to do?
In the state of California, a landlord would provide a notification to the tenant with the choice for that tenant to either fix or take care of the situation OR leave. So, when driving past your three-bedroom bungalow rental; you notice that there is a dog-house and a loud barking coming from the yard. Scratching your head, you remember clearly stating in your rental agreement that you have a strict no-pet policy.
Send this "ezLandlordforms' Callifornia Three-Day Notice to Perform or Quit" to your tenant, preferably as soon as you notice the situation. You will be able to explain the violation (Unauthorized pet) and give your tenant a remedy (remove the pet immediately) directly in the notice. This notice gives the tenant or tenants three full days. Counting begins with the day after the tenant receives the letter. Weekends and holidays are counted as days, however, if the last day of the fix or move period ends on a weekend or holiday, you will have to wait until the courts are open to continue the process.
California has varied regulations and procedures in each location, so be sure to contact your local court to obtain the specifics. In most cases, your letter will be delivered to the tenant in one of either of three ways: personal delivery (sometimes called hand delivery), service by a professional such as a sheriff, constable or paid server or by posting the notice on the door in addition to mailing it.
WARNING: California does have laws regarding eviction and domestic violence that may change the procedure. If this is the situation at hand, please check the law.

A Preschool Primer
Janine DeFao
It can be hard to know where – and even when – to start looking for a high-quality preschool or childcare setting for your child. In some areas, the options seem endless while, in others, a good preschool that fits your family's schedule, philosophy and budget can be hard to find.
But experts stress the importance of quality early childhood education, the effects of which can be seen long after – from higher high school graduation and college attendance rates to lower involvement with the criminal justice system.
Mia Pritts has spent two decades in the early education field, from preschool teacher to regional director for a network of employer-sponsored childcare centers, including those at Google and Pixar. She is now the head of early care and education at Wonderschool, a San Francisco-based startup that helps people open and sustain quality childcare programs, mostly in their homes. The company provides services, mentoring, training and more for more than 100 childcare providers, as well as a website where parents can search for quality care.
Pritts also has the personal experience of being a working mother, with one child in preschool and another on the way. She shared with Bay Area Parent her
Preschool Quality Indicator Checklist, a list of 10 quality indicators parents should look for during their search.
For more information on Wonderschool and its member sites, visit wonderschool.com.
1. License Check. Only consider options that are licensed by the state regulatory agency for all center-based programs and family childcare homes.
Anyone who cares for more than one child other than their own is required to be licensed by the state of California, meaning they meet health and safety standards and adhere to certain adult-child ratios based on the type of setting and children's ages. You can check a preschool or childcare's licensing through your local Childcare Coordinating Council. The California Department of Social Services has a searchable online database at cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/Community-Care-Licensing/Facility-Search-Welcome.
2. The Basics. Ask about hours, educational philosophy and curriculum, teacher credentials, teacher turnover rates, costs and guidance strategies such as how the school deals with behaviors such as hitting or biting, as well as how the school communicates with parents about issues and daily routines, from naps to meals.
"Turnover is really high in the industry in general, so low turnover can be an indicator of a stable program," says Pritts.
3. Visitor Policy. View the school calendar, and learn about family activities, volunteer opportunities and visitor policy. The program should have an open visitor policy for parents.
"A parent should feel comfortable they're welcome at any time," Pritts says. "I won't show up at my daughter's preschool program without a reason – but I'd like to know I can. … It shows everything is on the up and up."
This can be especially important for parents whose work is close to the school or for nursing mothers.
4. Daily Schedule. The program should follow the individual schedule of each baby, so that he or she eats when hungry, sleeps when tired and isn't trapped in a bouncy seat the entire day. For toddlers and preschoolers, a more structured day with a predictable schedule and routine is best.
"We know children thrive with predictable routines, regardless of (the school's) philosophy. It doesn't mean regimenting their day – 'From 9-9:15, you do blocks' – but there should be a structure: 'We come in, have circle time,'" she says. "You don't want to have chaos every day."
5. Outdoor Time. How often do they take the children outside? Ideally, they go outside daily – even multiple times per day. Even when Wonderschool works with providers in apartment settings, they insist on finding a nearby park or play space for children. Childcare centers are required to have defined areas for different age groups.
"It's that important, and everyone is able to do it," Pritts explains. "Kids need to be free, they need fresh air and to be able to jump and run and play and take risks. … There's a lot of learning that happens outside – cause and effect happen on the playground; physical development is helped when your body is swinging."
6. Quality Check. Ask about any quality assessments or ratings completed by the program. This can easily help indicate a high-quality environment. Wonderschool providers go through a quality assessment they can show interested parents. Other schools can opt to seek accreditation by the National Association of Education for Young Children or the National Association for Family Child Care. Because such accreditations take time and money to earn, Pritts says parents should not necessarily reject schools without them, but accreditation "is an indication of resources and commitment."
7. Teacher Ratios. What are the teacher/student ratios? Compare to your state regulations. Lower ratios are another indicator of a high-quality program.
Ratios differ by setting type and children's ages. For instance, in California, one teacher is required for every four infants, six toddlers or 12 preschool-age children in a childcare center. But many schools surpass the requirements. Different maximums are set for small and large family childcares. Visit the website of the state Community Care Licensing Division website at cdss.gov for more information.
8. No Yelling. Are teachers engaged with the kids? Do they kneel down to their level versus talking down to them? Can you hear the sound of happy, busy children or do you hear yelling? Look for context behind any noise and activity. Regardless of a school's philosophy – from play-based to Montessori – Pritts says there are clues parents can look for on a visit to determine that children are comfortable, engaged and learning.
Is there good natural lighting, or at least adequate lighting? For infants and toddlers, are there soft elements like fluffy pillows? Do preschoolers have defined learning areas for things like dramatic play, manipulatives and a cozy corner – and not just a room with toys thrown in the middle? Are there lots of books and children's artwork displayed?
"There's a lot of research that shows that kids learn best through doing and being active and being given choices," she says. "Young children (don't learn by) doing worksheets. That's time that can be best spent doing something else."
9. Televisions. A preschool with a TV is a big no-no – minus a few exceptions. This signals a lack of engagement and activities for children. "Parents are not paying for their kid to watch TV during the day," Pritts says. "Any TV time, in my opinion, should be saved for parents and child, not childcare provider and child." The same goes for iPads or other tablets.
The exception, she says, would be using a short video as part of a lesson, such as if a child is particularly interested in insects.
10. Mommy Gut Check. "As a mom who also works in the early childhood education industry, I recommend parents go with their gut. Check how you feel when you've stepped into the building," Pritts says. "Sometimes it's overwhelmingly positive, sometimes you're unsettled and sometimes it's 'I've got to get out of here!'"
She recommends visiting at least three preschools once you've narrowed your list and know what you need and what you're looking for. "But you don't need to look at 100 (sites). That adds to stress and a feeling of panic," she adds.
Planning ahead can also help alleviate panic. "It's better to look early than to wait until the last minute when you'll really feel the pressure," she says.
Most of all, Pritts says, "I think it's important to stay calm. You've got this!"

Prince Albert of Monaco weds Charlene Wittstock
July 1 - Monaco celebrates the wedding of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock. Lindsay Claiborn reports.
Prince Albert II of Monaco married Charlene Wittstock on Friday (July 1) in a civil ceremony in the Royal Palace, offering a moment's splendor in a principality in search of a second wind. The 33-year-old former swimming champion wore a blue chiffon dress to exchange vows with the 53-year-old prince, dressed in a black suit and silver tie. Following the nuptials the couple waved to crowds from the palace balcony and shared a kiss. Monaco, the sunny stomping ground of the rich, known as much for its Grand Prix car race as for its lack of income tax, is abuzz with the nuptials, which are taking place just two months after Britain's royal wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton. The wedding is the first of a ruling prince in Monaco since Albert's father, Prince Rainier III, married Hollywood actress Grace Kelly in 1956. Albert met Wittstock in 2000 when he presided over a swimming contest in which she was competing. Rumors that all was not well with the couple threatened to spoil the mood, however. The palace vehemently denied a report by French weekly L'Express on Tuesday (June 28) that Wittstock tried to skip town on a one-way flight to South Africa. The religious union of Wittstock and Albert will be celebrated on Saturday (July 2). Lindsay Claiborn, Reuters.

The waiting list!
Yes, Mac, there is a story there. Well spotted!
I've told it to many people but haven't posted it here simply because it points directly to my identity. I somehow manage to maintain the self-generated illusion that I remain unidentifiable to the world at large. Some here have attempted to disabuse me of this fanciful notion but I cling to my anonymity like Linus clings to his security blanket.
Perhaps I'll write it up and PM you, I'll think about it.
If you PM him and not me too...well, I'll and I know you'd just HATE that!

I left when I discovered that the church had an IRS compliance officer. Thru the agreement between the COS and IRS the church would have to police its parishioner to pay their taxes. Because of the "law of agency" once a company ,organization, individual etc agrees to perform a function for another they become legally binded to one another to perform agreed upon, contractual duties. So in any tax matters concerning any of the parishioner it is the responsibility of the church to enforce payment of any over due taxes.
This partnership destroyed the church parishioner privileged of communications
and gave t he right of the IRS or any government affiliated agencies to inspect pc or ethic folders and use it against the individual though to date I have not heard of that happening but I have been interview by orders of the tax compliance officer orders. So who knows where the data from the interview ended up. At that point I figured that the War the church won against the IRS was a sham to which later I found that one of the board members of the CST was ex IRS all the pieces fit together. DM raise to power was assisted by agent implanted with it the church and their real goal is to destroy Scn by altering the tech and legally robbing its declining members to the point of driving away as many members as possible.
You should read Hubbard's old letters to the FBI. He was "reporting" people (including Scientologists in "good standing") to the FBI as "Communists," and also "reporting" (as a means of "getting" someone) others (including Scientologists) to the the FBI, the IRS, and other agencies, since the 1950s. Sometimes, he wouldn't do it directly, but would have others do it, or have it done in a way which hid the source of the "report."
The Grade Chart (see old 'Advance!' and 'Source' mags) was effectively changed (with old OT levels no longer delivered) by mid 1979. At that time Miscavige was 19 years old. Hubbard was still in charge and would be be, at least until 1984, or so.
See Larry Brennan Declaration, and the writings of others who were on the inside.
There's very little in the discontinued OT levels that can't be found in 1950s Scientology books, or various other places.
Hubbard and Scientology were always open to making deals with any government, and Hubbard liked to present himself as having worked for the government as a spy. In the 1950s, he tried to the sell the US Defense department Psychological War techniques, or at least wrote that he was willing to work in that capacity in a letter to the FBI.
In 1951, he wrote in a letter to 2nd wife Sara that, "Dianetics will last 10,000 years for the Army and Navy have it now." (Apparently a tall tale, but nonetheless.)
In an early Dianetics lecture, Hubbard told Dianeticists/Scientologists that he had been approached by the US Navy and that they had tried to take control of Dianetics (why couldn't they just buy the book?), and he had refused to cooperate. (Yet another tall tale.)
Yet, Hubbard had psychological warfare techniques "on his mind," and seemed to regard these as part of Scientology. This doesn't make much sense to Scientologists, unless one considers that Hubbard also was the author of the booklet that he called the 'Brainwashing Manual', which he used on outsiders and on his own followers, and incorporated into Scientology "tech."
One of the best things that the FBI ever did was raid Scientology buildings in Los Angeles, and Washington DC, in 1977. The information that was revealed has proven to be invaluable in understanding what the secretive subject of Scientology really is. The methods revealed by the documents unearthed during these raids (more Hubbard tech), had been used on Scientologists also, not only on outsiders. These docs plus the Brainwashing Manual are key to "decoding" Hubbard's Scientology.
The IRS deal didn't occur until 1993.
As for Scientology, these days, handing over info on its member's personal tax issues - as obtained through counseling sessions, or culling of counselling sessions - I wouldn't be in the least surprised if that happens, today.
However, similar things have happened throughout the history of Scientology and - as were the changes in the OT levels, and as was the looting of the Mission Network - it happened under L. Ron Hubbard's direction.
That's a great question, and I'm really enjoying this thread. Nodding my head a lot!!
For me it was like this: I saw what was being done to me, but justified it like crazy that they were doing it because they cared and it was what I needed to handle my case.
I saw the outpoints in the organization, but thought they would eventually be handled by the admin tech.
I was not winning, personally, but still believed others were.
It was when I realized (via the Internet) what was happening to others (even worse) , and that the outpoints weren't being handled that the house of cards fell.
So I guess the answer is . . .both.
-TL
Those who "gave a shit" invariably drew attacks of one sort or another from management. Back in '82 literally thousands of us left at that time precisely because we "gave a shit", sought to handle, and were unable to be effective in handling. Many of these thousands were recent grads of the then new Happiness Rundown and were not about to put up with further organizational out-ethics.
It caused a bit of a stir.
I was among them. I was "winning" bigtime, especially on the HRD. Among the things that put me afoul of my seniors of the time was having written a KR on a senior exec at the mission for inappropriate regging, recruiting, and failure to live up to his promises.
This Great Schism of '82 led to the creation of the freezone & independent movements.

I told you I was trouble said:
I couldn't talk to Scio's (I disliked the fact that all they spoke about was bloody Blubby Hubbard and Scio) and I could never actually relax with a Scio due to maybe saying something 'wrong' ... (always a possibility ) and ending up in ethics.
I couldn't talk to non Scios due to the 'us and them' phenomena that Blub created .

I think I got something from the happiness rundown that was different from other rundowns. I think it really was about integrity and not "integrity" as a controlling trick.
The GO had looked at my pc folders - because I was /am gay. That pissed me off - and the integrity gains (for want of a better term) - made me resistant to just accepting them nosing through "confidential" materials. They made treatening remarks about what would happen if I did anything that would cause any PTS situation for them.
I was very unimpressed. Around the same time (early 80's) I was starting to understand that certain things that were "outpoints" could only be that way by being fucked up right up to the top levels of management. Previously I believed that "up there" were the experts who did not make mistakes and the mistakes were from lower down at local level.
These things were combined with the fact that actually I really must have recovered or found something in myself I had been trying to restore. If I had not I would still have had enough "ruin" to stay there. So when my contract was up I did not renew. I also made a resaonable compromise on trying for a replacement - a virtually impossible task - unless I deceived, lied' or tricked someone into it. After that I refused to be fucked around with the replacement lie. I had actually completed the contract so was legally not bound anymore by it's content.
If it wasn't for the GO getting into my "confidential" pc folder I might have stayed. It was no big deal. There wasn't anything terrible there and there was not the terrible stuff others went through. It was just the principle of it and what it signified about PC/auditor- church relationship. If I hadn't noticed (from way down in NZ) that something was rotten in the state of Top Management as well.........anyway that was how I found the exit sign.
HolyCow
The first question is why we went in!
There's one common answer, only because there's one common question: Why we went in. We all sought help. We left because a) we didn't get it and b) by then we needed help even more than when we went "in"!
Early days: Book I, easy, cheap, & friendly much like the Tupperware parties so fashionable in the day, 1950's. 1960's was flower power and searching for the truth, baby. It was either Drugs & RocknRoll or self-help veggie groups back then, you were of one camp or another. The 70's was Monster Fear, Vietnam, scurrying survival techniques. Then the 80's was Recession, revival of Nuclear threats, massive job layoffs, and worst: really bad hair and music. This era produced the Reign of Miscavige, no surprise and it's been downhill ever since.
Fast forward to 21st century of every criminal on the globe getting absolute free reign, even in America with the inevitable collapse of economies. All those whipping up the culture of greed and megomaniacal power have been frozen in the spotlight, yet unable to stop themselves from their crimes and lapping at their troughs, for all the world to witness. PLEASE realize this: They can't stop even with the spotlight on!
Whether it's AIG or CofS and Miscavige .... the crocodile clock is ticking in NeverNever Land.

to ESMB Holy Cow!! I think you're going to be fun to have around!
Thanks and my hubby is having a Cow! reading my posts. I've never ever talked about any of this manure. He lifts out of his chair, but then he descends laughing at the end.
I have been inspired reading some excellent writers and their wit. I've done my time and known some characters. Fortunate to my "sanity-meter", most I've liked were thrown out as scoundrels. Sadly, others were thrown overboard in some fashion or other.
But... I chalk it up to a chunk of adventure. I don't regret it at all (ok, except the $$$$ I could use right now). But hell, I can't get health insurance right now and I spent a bundle over my life paying into it when I didn't need it. Now, I know I should have invested and used the dividends to pay for medical.
So I got swindled. But I learned a lot. I learned the abilities I already had were valid and I no longer need anyone to say so. I learned my psychic abilities since I was a kid were real and I no longer needed anyone to say it wasn't so! I learned all the basic common sense and basic business 101 and univeral need to give and have love and respect and decency ... all these things were inherant and true.
Everything else is embellished croc and who wants to admit they were taken in? The only reason that Scn organizations exist is not the sadistic narcisstic buffoons who ride herd, it's the sheep that follow. They are the ones who have some need still to be driven. They are getting something out of this, and it's not what they say it is (clearing planet, etc etc).
There's parasites, worms, bacteria, virus, fungui, I mean, who cares who devours whom first? Let them eat dirt! It will all pass through the same sphincter in the end, all symbiotic assholes shall pass this way. Can I say that on this post?
I had been reading a.r.s. and came to realize exactly what kind of organization it was. However, I hoped to remain in as an unindoctrinated CofS member and agitate for reform from within. I also dreamed of maybe facilitating communication somehow between critics and CofS. I realized the futility of these hopes in my penultimate "handling" and then walked away.
I left because they showed me contempt while still soliciting my time and my money at the exact same time. Basically, anyone who crosses me ends up on the short end of the stick, to put it bluntly.
Mark A. Baker said:
Me too! After the HRD I wasn't willing to to turn a blind eye to mistreatment of Scientologists by Scientologists. I took on senior execs who lied to scientologists. I said that ethics officers should be abolished! I got declared!
I turned my back on Scn in all its forms completely. I had some respect for what David Mayo was doing in the ACCs, but rejected Capt Bill as he seemed to be stuck in a psuedo rondroid identity. But the ACCs were also concentrating on the upper levels at the time, which I decided were just Hubbard's imagined own-case.
cantsay
I did basically the same as Panda mentioned. I saw the crap others went through, I was able to justify a lot of it, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. People can watch a lot of stuff going on, but until it happens to YOU personally, you might not have the catalyst to rip yourself out of the lifestyle youve put so much time effort and money into.
I got to the point where I couldnt stand the outpoints anymore (against myself and many others) and I wrote a big report on the people running my org. The result? Orders came from uplines to get me to admit to being an SP, or make me point to one of my friends as being an SP. There was absolutely NO EFFORT to fix the outpoints. NONE. Thats when I realised the group was suppressive.

My experience, while certainly not precisely the same as yours, was similar.
While in, I also intended to remain an un-indoctrinated Scientologist who worked for reform from within. Consistent with my personality I tended not to "agitate," but to try to work more persuasively and subtly -- i.e., by trying to calmly and rationally trying to convince them it was in their best interest to change. Obviously, that did not turn out well.
As I stated in my original post, I left because I was tired of being ashamed of myself. But like you, I also realized that my dream of reforming the COS from within was futile. Speaking only for myself, I realized my personal dream of reforming the COS from within was not only futile, but moronic. I actually think that the COS is a more rigidly authoritarian and hierarchical organization than the U.S. Marine Corps.
Unlike you, I did not leave after some final blow up. I simply became too disgusted with myself to stay, so I walked away.
I wouldn't be surprised if my e-meter is still in the locked meter closet. There were a surprising number of abandoned e-meters in the closet while I was in.
cantsay said:
I went through similar stuff to this myself cantsay.
Prior to the mid '90's in Sydney though, I had or thought I had support about what I was writing up and sending up lines. People like ED ASI, FEI, MEI, WEI, Sandy Wilhere, and Snr C/S Int (in the '80's), responded and helped me deal with a lot the crap that I thought was ANZO originated.
In '97 though, we got a three person RTC mission in the AO, fired directly from DM. I went through about six months of sec checks, study assignments, ethics etc, because I wasn't changing my mind (it kept getting extended and extended, 'cause I wasn't saying what they wanted to hear). There was no way out of it, unless I submitted to their "think".
At the end of one of the many cycles over that time period, the RTC MAA asked me whether or not I still had any disagreements. I said that I had written up a list of out-points that I felt we as scientologists needed to rectify. He read them, then came back and went off his nut at me (but that's another story). He was on a spitting froth roll, and during it, he said, "There are no outpoints, YOU and others like you are the outpoint!"
This guy along with his toffy nosed bitchy supposed "Class 8" mission I/C (who hardly knew any bloody tech at all, or was happy to refuse it given the fu'ked way she did end ruds on o/w's), were being run by DM directly. Around that time, it had become pretty clear, that 'MENTAL COMPLIANCE' had now become the order of the day, and it didn't matter what the tech said or the creed said, or anything else. "RTC" were acting like facists, they were now running the show, and unless you complied with what they wanted, not only physically but also MENTALLY, then ya didn't have a shit show of surviving.
I could cope with the crap I was being subjected to by the group at that point (I had been through many ethics/justice cycles over the years), but it was then that I saw and faced the more truthful scene about the group/the CofS. It's then that I realised that I wasn't part of that group, and could never be, 'cause it wasn't what I thought it was, or wanted it to be, AND, I sure as hell couldn't comply or wasn't going to.
I don't think that being put through the wringer/abused or whatever is in itself what makes people leave. For many though, it has been what has given them insight into what the CofS is actually about - and that has been the catalyst.
Hi, Kha-Khan,
I hear ya. In my case, yes, definitely a final blow up but it had been building up a while. I was subjected to a number of very dreary handlings at CofS. So finally they upped the ante and I was out of there and I've been a pain in the ass ever since. (which is what happens to those who cross me. )
It would be very difficult to be in and incognito, so to speak. I think there are some people who do that but sooner or later, I think they end up leaving, either quietly and unofficially or officially.

You certainly got the rough end of the pineapple Once when I was recovered after Id blown, I was sitting in the ethics officers office when the ED walked past and put on such a show of agro animosity it stunned me. He was not happy I was back. Coupled with the fact that the majority of staff avoided me like the plague or glared at me, I realised that I was to be universally hated and distrusted by the "most ethical group in the planet" because I didnt agree with the abuse handed out by my seniors. So I didnt go back, even though I wanted to. There was no point.
I hoped at the time people would SEE that, and realise what was going on. But then, I never saw it when the same was happening to others before me, so I doubt it..

Understandable. I don't quite share that assessment of upper levels, but then I don't buy Hubbard's take on them either. Basically I consider there is something useful there to be audited, too much charge pops up during the course of auditing on it besides the similarities to other spiritual traditions. However I definitely don't advocate accepting it as "revealed truth" either.

Juspay bags $60 million in Series C round led by SoftBank, others at $460 million valuation
Balraj December 16, 2021
BusinessIndia NewsStartupsTech
Juspay Technologies, a frictionless digital payments startup, has secured $60 million in a Series C funding round backed by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 alongside existing investors VEF and Wellington Management participating in the round. Avendus Capital acted as the advisor for the fintech startup in this round.

Although SoftBank alone infused $50 million to the fresh round, with the remaining funds coming from JusPay's existing investors VEF and Wellington Management. The Bengaluru-based startup has raised a total of $87 million since its inception in 2021. While the company did not share any details of its valuation in the statement, reports suggest that Juspay is valued between the range of $400 million to $500 million.
The fresh infusion of capital will be used for technological and product development by the company. The proceeds will also allow Juspay to scale its operations to enter adjacent sectors including credit as well as to focus on overseas expansion.
Commenting on the fundraise Vimal Kumar, the founder & CEO of Juspay in a statement said, "We believe in ecosystem innovations like UPI and OCEN (Open Credit Enablement Network) and have built a deep value-driven culture to support such initiatives. This funding will help us scale up our mission in India and expand globally."
This is SoftBank's second investment in an Indian payments company, following the IPO of its portfolio company Paytm last month, which had a lackluster debut on the stock exchanges. Noida-based Paytm has secured around $1.6 billion investment from SoftBank. The Japanese conglomerate has injected almost $3.2 billion across different startups in India which include Flipkart, Meesho, Swiggy, Ola Electric, and Unacademy this year, as part of $8.3 billion in deals.
Juspay, founded in 2012 by Vimal Kumar, provides a technological platform that streamlines payment gateways to offer merchants an end-to-end, enterprise-grade payment infrastructure. Justpay Safe, a payment browser, Express Checkout, a payments orchestration platform, HyperSDK, a payments SDK (software development kit), and a UPI option are some of the company's offerings.
Juspay claims to handle more than 11 million transactions per day and has a long list of distinguished customers, including Amazon, BigBasket, Flipkart, CRED, PharmEasy, and Swiggy. Juspay faces stiff competes in the payment gateway space with companies such as Prosus-backed BillDesk, CCAvenue, fintech unicorn Razorpay, and PayU, among others. To comply with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines for payment aggregators and payment gateways, the startup has also launched a product that allows merchants to tokenize customer card details.
According to an analysis, the fintech sector ranked second in terms of capital this year, with $7.4 billion invested. PineLabs, Jupiter, Razorpay, and Zest Money all garnered larger cheques in 2021, as Indians transitioned more towards digital payments. The fintech sector saw a record of 260 deals from 2021 to December 4, 2021, mainly to growth factors which include increased internet penetration as well as the covid pandemic.

The Final Wakeup Call - English
The Feared Awakening
The Deep State is trapped
MSM writes about our FWC-site
Sacred code of honour against the Evil Enemy
Our unity is the antithesis of the ego-worshipping Deep State psychopath. Our strength is our desire for freedom, righteous intent and collective unity to overcome our enemies in our government, and the criminals in the banking system. As such, the proclamation "Where We Go One We Go All" is also the inscription on the ship bell on the yacht of John F. Kennedy, adding an extra dimension to the significance of this slogan. This has made this motto a sacred code of honour against the evil enemy.
The darkness will lose its grip of fear upon us, as more people awaken from their induced slumber. This could mean that in the next month or so, unprecedented revelations will be forthcoming, both in scope and magnitude without historical precedent, that could cause a revolt under the un-awakened part of the population.
Detaching oneself from the mind control programming
Choosing to become conscious means detaching oneself from the mind control programming; escaping the effects of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual prison caused by the oppression of among others, the MSM.
The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes. Today the path to total dictatorship of the world can be laid out through legal means, unseen and unheard of by Congress, or even the President. The Deep State operates freely within our government and political system, through bribed politicians called puppets. All strange developments in policy agreements may be traced back to this secret group who are endeavouring to create a world to suit their purpose.
The tactics employed are comprised of the manipulation of economies, trade and the masses through fear: fear of war, fear of starvation, fear of economic collapse, imprisonment and death. This fear-mentality has dictated global events for centuries and has become the standard operating procedure. This process of enslaving civilisations stands in contrast to the survival of humanity and it suppresses the natural instinct of all humans to do good and to be kind to one another.
Bear in mind; the real purpose of government is always and everywhere, to enable the few to exploit the many. The credit money system is a clever way of doing so.
The Economic Downfall
The world is bankrupt financially, economically, and morally, but through manipulation and deceit, people are led to believe that all is well. It's absolutely absurd that all the bubble assets are at such astronomical highs, while wealth-preservation assets have been totally demolished through manipulation. The elite and the media continuously fool the people about the state of the world.
The current experiment with paper money began on August 15, 1971. "From now on," said U.S. President Richard Nixon, all foreigners who want to do business with us lose the right to exchange their dollars for gold. From that moment, the value of the U.S. dollar was determined by what someone attributed to it. Truth-seekers held their breath. But nothing happened. Many people suffered tremendously, waiting for the dollar's collapse, which to this very day is still in progress. The milestones of monetary history may be slow, but the longer it lasts the more puppets will be trapped.
The resulting paper money standard caused an enormous global credit expansion – just as occurred in Paris with John Law's (1671- 1729) swindle. Recounting, the U.S. Federal Reserve prints U.S. dollars, which the citizens spend. These dollars, as the reserve currency are building up around the world, and each central bank is doing its best to keep up with the pace of the printing process.
Exporters have over-produced and importers have consumed too much. And so, it has come to pass that the world is awash with too much money – credit expansion – that has been put into circulation. This will finally cause the collapse of the world's monetary system.
The MSM is the last bastion of the "Deep State" organised crime network that, over the years in the past, has infiltrated and hijacked critical institutions. But, even their days are numbered, and the ensuing collapse will most likely be violent and shocking to all those unaware of what is unfolding.
Where we are all headed and are aiming for, the Elite definitely doesn't want to go to, and they most certainly will create chaos. However, Trump Team and the Alliance are prepared for this to happen. The military has been trained and instructed about this. President Trump has already issued an EO for the implementation of martial law. Meanwhile, President Trump is threatening the media monopoly as no other modern president has ever done.
The awakening isn't entirely pleasant, but remember, we are being set free by it, and we will be able to make new – our very own – choices. This will be a big eye opener for most people, and will take place, most likely, with no announcement. Miracles will become common place, and thousands of new technologies will emerge. The most important message is, don't be surprised or dismayed by what is about to unfold, but instead, be grateful and rejoice in your first time ever true freedom that is about to unravel.
The evil "Deep State" traitors and criminals are so terrified, as they realise they have been cornered by the report of the Inspector General on the CIA, DOJ and the FBI. This report outlines and proves fraud and criminal activity in these Departments. This may be the starting point that sends many in high office in these departments to jail for their crimes. For this very reason, the Khazarian mafia are now activating all their resources in a desperate move to save themselves.
The Inspector General's (IG)-report is about the restoration of the rule of law that has been ignored and disrespected for decades. All these bribed puppets –low, middle and high–level, have taken over the system to the point where the rules of justice could be directed toward their opponents, while masking their own criminal activity. What is presently scaring the living daylights out of this crime syndicate is the restoration of the rule of law. When there is a full restoration of the rule of law, this is what will blow this globalist crime syndicate apart.
The debt-based financial system is already dead in the water and will soon be replaced by the QFS. This means, no more money for this crime syndicate, as their income flow from drug money and illegal oil sales are also drying up. This on its own will result in an escalation in the price of gold and silver, and the end of market manipulation.
The Central Bankers' crimes are legendary and more than can be listed. The harm done to all the people of our planet will take generations to correct. But correct it will, if we the people would only awaken en masse!
Rothschild's business will stay upright
In the meantime, Rothschild & Co. is ensuring the world that their business will stay in the family and in power for a seventh generation, as the current chairman prepares to hand over his seat to his son. At least that is their belief?
The Rothschild banking empire wants to ensure that its seven generation-long world control continues to stay within the family. The banking dynasty rule has been passed down to the successive generations for the last 200 years. It was started by Mayer Amschel Rothschild, and his five sons went on to establish banking businesses across Europe. The Financial Times reported that the investment bank is currently pushing to "diversify from its core French and British advisory business to help it ride out less buoyant periods in Europe's mergers and acquisitions market."
New private equity businesses have been established, to increase the investments in small U.S. operations, the Times noted that the overhaul of the corporate structure that occurred during the elder de Rothschild's term, allowed the family to "tighten control over the group by buying out minority shareholders."
Deprogramming the brainwashed citizens is a different story altogether
Rounding up the bad guys could be the easy part of the job. A couple of executive orders, have already been put in place. President Trump is a real Commander in Chief who lets his team get the job done. Nobody is able to hide. – But deprogramming the decades of brainwashed citizens and telling them that everything they have been told is a lie; is an entire different story. As the saying goes: it is easier to fool someone, than to convince someone that they have been fooled.
Be prepared for disaster
Emergency and disaster tests the resilience and strength of families, communities, and the Nation at large. It is impossible to foresee every Deep State false flag operation challenge and threat, but people can and must prepare for these situations. By doing so, you can help to protect your community and save lives. This is a very serious matter and should not be taken lightly; and in the spirit hereof, President Trump has proclaimed September 2018, national preparedness month! He said; "I encourage all Americans to take action to prepare for disaster and/or emergency, by drafting their response plan.
It is becoming more and more apparent that the hurricane bearing down on the east coast of the USA was engineered by the Alliance as a cover for their mass arrest operations – and the Global Currency Reset?
Q has often referenced the 'Calm Before the Storm'. And, now President Trump is talking about it too. Q has also said 'Watch the Water'. The most important thing is that people understand they should stay calm.
Each step taken to be better prepared, will eventually make a real difference in how families and communities respond and persist when faced with the unexpected.
Be awake and aware. There are too many indications in this direction to simply ignore this.
The coming change will most probably defy all imagination. We are living through the most important chapter of world history. The American President has said: a new gold-backed currency will be released to the public after the indictments are unsealed and mass arrests have taken place. The President has also said that almost everyone in Congress is included in the sealed indictments for various reasons.
Massive prosperity funds will be released to help stimulate and revitalize the world's economy, ecology and infrastructure. Social media giants will be publicly ousted as being direct assets of the Deep State's own intelligence agencies.
Good or Bad, as long MSM writes about our FWC- site the information provided must be valuable. Readers happen to be stimulated to wake up and are encouraged to get others do the same.
Nonetheless, the MSM in general is ignoring what really is going on in the world, while more carpet bombs are on their way in preparation for the MOAB – Mother of All Bombs.
Central Bankers' crimes, Deep State is trapped, deprogramming the brainwashed citizens, Economic Downfall, John Law's swindle, mind control programming, MOAB, Mother of All Bombs, MSM bastion of the Deep State, MSM writes about our FWC-site, prepared for disaster, Rothschild's business, The Change, Washington-rullers, Where We Go One We Go All
I am looking forward…
the deep state finally fall very deep, deeper and deeper.
In fact, I always hope since I was a little child or I always thought, there is something wrong, it must be some where something wrong (i was born short before President Nixon said…see above, 1971).
Somewhere, how can it be possible that adults, rational, human beings with certain of intellectual behave, act like that. Now I know why, what…And that makes sense to me…I m grateful that I got an answer and to everybody,
I wd repeat the wording on the very beginning of that famous video President Trump , "Save the World ",
Fasten Seat Belts.
It's not gonna be nice, please stay calm and if you are healthy and/or fit, use your energy by helping others.
Elderly, women, small children, homeless….There is always someone who is having a bad time and they don't even know how to ask for help. Keep that in mind.
Do something about it. Most people shame themselves,
other may not even (under shock, etc) realize what s going on…Very appreciated. And I always hear people saying, it needs to go very down, very low, in order to
go up! Pure Physics. And it's all about L O V E. Love moves all mountains, it certainly does…Yes, "love your neighbor as you love yourself ". But it only works if you love yourself, you accept the way you are, then you will be able to love others. The same way Jesus love you. Trust in God. Faith, Hope and Peace are so beautiful words. Let's make them reality. Our Father in Heaven, The Mother of all of us, the Angels and….
They know what is good for us. With all my love to all of you. Spread the words.

I only now reached your blog. I read it from 2018 posts up. Also bought the book. You write amazing, really reminds me of Hodor7777 style. He, too, admitted he was too keen on a bull run that became a 3 year waiting. I choose truth where I sense it. Your words are that for me. Sometimes the so desired revelations must take their course. We are nearly there and I only hope to awaken enough. Not to fear the change for it will take humanity to a whole new level of transparency. Then can our world start healing. But this information will be like a deluge over humanity. I mostly care to awaken enough to assist those In need with copying while I maintain my own sanity and sacred soul. Thank you!
Thanks for your truthful comment El Nak. People like you are needed to wakeup mankind. Good to know my articles are of inspiration for you.

Council Relations
New Council Fee

That's unfortunate.
The Scouting world has such a weird dynamic to it. Professionals, council boards, council volunteers vs. district volunteers vs. unit volunteers. For a movement that is all about developing leaders, we seem to know so little about how to develop leadership in adult volunteers. It's very strange.
BSA often does not follow what they teach about leadership or values.

De facto vs de jure. De facto discrimination is alive and well. De jure discrimination is mostly gone, although there are some places where laws are passed because they disproportionately effect people in one group or another. Discrimination today is typically much more subtle and less overt than in the 1960's, making it easier for people to pretend it doesn't exist.
I struggle though with how to reconcile the gains and successes we've had as a country in the last 50 years. Even in my lifetime, I see a noticeable difference in the amount of racism and increase in the amount of equality in our social structures. I applaud that we continue to focus on rooting out discrimination and racism.
Yet, to listen to my teenage kids talk, our country is an awful place full of racists.
I don't know how to communicate to my kids with any credibility that we've come so far as a country from what it was 50, 100, or more years ago.
Passing judgment when ignorant of the facts is simple. Those who know the facts find it harder to judge.

That's the beauty of postmodern philosophy invading every aspect of culture, media, and education. There are no objective truths, there are no facts outside of their interpretation by the receiver, there is no objective reality. Your personal feelings are as good as actual facts, because, facts are filtered by the power structure.
Your kids believe America is an awful place because some teacher, media person, pop culture personality told them so. The personal also told them that any "facts" that contradict that feeling are racist because facts are a tool of the oppressor class. This creates an unfalsifiable premise because anything that contradicts the premise is deemed racist (or sexist or homophobic or islamaphobic or genderphobic or whatever the case may be). When confronted with actual facts or data, the postmodern simply has to say "I don't feel like that's true" and the debate is over.

So now that recharter season is essentially over, how many of you have a council fee added to each scout/adult and if so, how much.
Tidewater Council: $24 per person. This is down from $42 thanks to a strong FOS showing in 2020.

Edited January 11 by CynicalScouter
Ours,
National fee $66 plus council fee $60 (service $48 plus insurance $12) = $126 total for youth.
National $42 plus $5 council (insurance) = $47 for adults.
Does not include the $25 first time fee for youth...
Our troop dues, $49...so Scouts in our unit paid $175 to recharter for the year....not including Scout Life.
I will remain council-anonymous
I think council fees are the best way for the future in lieu of FOS and product sales. Please hear me out on this.
Our Troop approach is to ask families to pay all-in semester dues (this includes everything except campout and summer camp fees) and contribute to our annual coffee fundraising gathering at whatever level they can. We get family contributions ranging from $20 to $500 at that event, and outsiders contribute as well. Under-resourced families pay 50% dues and 50% camping fees (some get more) and this is supported from our event proceeds.
Our December fundraiser raised enough so we gave $1,500 to our council as a unit FOS contribution. We had an additional $1,500 individual FOS contributions from people affiliated with our unit who replied directly to the annual council mailing. We do not push individual family contributions to FOS, because we only want to ask families to pay our dues and participate in our single annual event.
So, our unit-wide FOS total gift was about 3K for 2020, which works out to be about $75 per youth member (up from $62 last year). Because we are inner-city, we don't do product sales with the council or other things that raise money for them. However, we get a lot of services and benefits from our district and council and believe our FOS contributions are merited and well-used. If our council were to prefer a fee instead of FOS we would be neutral. We would still give at our current level to support our camp and help provide council/district services.
A council fee to replace FOS/popcorn proceedings would be a more efficient way to raise funds and take less professional and volunteer effort. It would be a wash for us, but would assure that all units contribute.
1 hour ago, Cburkhardt said:
So, here's the advantage of a Unit-collection:
Volunteer labor spent presenting (and, from your parents' perspective, listening to) FOS presentations. As you mention, those costs are not trivial.
Here's the disadvantage:
Youth labor spent raising funds for other troops. The whole point of FOS is supposedly to provide facilities and camperships to scouts who couldn't otherwise afford them.
It's one thing if your youth want to do that. (GS/USA youth seem to be quite proud that their cookie sales do such things.) But perhaps your youth have other charities for whom they want to raise funds . Your council (and, in turn, those other troops) will want its cut first.
The disadvantage to council:
Collection from willing individuals once they have left scouting. A lot of our folks who pledged at FOS presentations, kept doing so for decades.

Depends on the council. For councils that do not have facilities and camps (mine doesn't) FOS is for basic council operations.

I think Council fees should replace FOS for current registrants. I think an FOS appeal could still be targeted to alumni if a Council has its records in order. I am concerned though that the Council fee might just become another bucket you are expected to pay into. Our Council instituted the maximum Council fee this year. We still had a pitch for FOS. We were still asked, though not required, to participate in popcorn sales. We had additional pitches for a Covid relief fund. Granted there was no hard sell for any of these things other than the new Council fee, but it has been a constant ask. One thing about instituting a Council fee instead of FOS is that I think you lose corporate matching funds for those who have that benefit.

We still had a pitch for FOS. We were still asked, though not required, to participate in popcorn sales.
We will do our once-a-year contribution that I described, and that is it. If we paid an annual fee that was particularly low (like the $3 one some council charges -- I mean, what is the point of that?), I would make sure it was supplemented with a unit FOS gift to provide a reasonable level of support -- after all, we do need to maintain things at the camp and in basic operations. I just think the old ways of funding the council through multiple asks and inefficient product sales will fade away. Wrap it into a reasonable all-in fee that is transparently explained and be done with all the running around. Let the pros, and Scouts concentrate on program.

...Wrap it into a reasonable all-in fee that is transparently explained and be done with all the running around. Let the pros, and Scouts concentrate on program.
IMHO, let's discuss the new transparent explanation of proposed Council spending and how it is approved before discussing any new means of funding it.
Edited Wednesday at 12:12 AM by RememberSchiff
Let's take a look at some numbers. I pulled Orange County CA's website and 990 and took a look. According to their website, they serve 20,000 youth members. From their 990 in 2018, they had expenses of $11.8 million dollars.
Of that $11.8 million, they spend:
$4.8 million in salaries
$1.1 million in payroll taxes and benefits
$1.1 million in depreciation/amortization
$1.2 million in occupancy
$879K in office expenses
$299K in staff travel
$272K in insurance
$270K in interest on loans
$1.9 million in a variety of other expenses
For income, they had $10.2 million. It came primary from:
$3.6 million from contributions and grants
$5.2 million from program income
$500K from investment income
$600K from inventory income (not sure what this is)
$400K in miscellaneous income.
I too think that a program fee is the direction councils need to move in. I look at these numbers and am struck by how little though the program fees move the needle. At a $60 fee per youth, that amounts to about 10% of their total budget. Councils will still have to obtain the bulk of their revenue in other ways.

Antitrust Law Daily Sen. Grassley stepping down as Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee
Sen. Grassley stepping down as Chairman of Senate Judiciary Committee
By Jody Coultas, J.D.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has announced that he is choosing to give up the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee in January to take up the chairman position the Finance Committee being vacated by retiring Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). Under Senate Republican Conference rules, he still has eligibility to serve as chairman for another two years.
During his four hears as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Grassley has sponsored numerous antitrust bills and pushed the antitrust agencies to investigate potentially anticompetitive conduct in a variety of markets. Senator Grassley has focused on protections for whistleblowers, mergers and competition, especially in the agricultural industry, and anticompetitive "pay-for-delay" deals in the pharmaceutical industry.
In November, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved the Criminal Antitrust Anti-Retaliation Act of 2017 (S. 807), a bill sponsored by Senator Grassley that would heighten protections for whistleblowers who report antitrust violations. "Since we're willing to incentivize folks to report their own bad behavior, then we ought to protect whistleblowers who report on the bad behavior of others," said Senator Grassley. Senator Grassley also sponsored the "Standard Merger and Acquisition Reviews Through Equal Rules (SMARTER) Act" (S. 2847), legislation intended to align the procedures used by the FTC, FCC, and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division in challenging unconsummated acquisitions and mergers. In 2017, Senator Grassley was one of the co-sponsors of "The Creating and Restoring Equal Access to Equivalent Samples (CREATES) Act", would deter pharmaceutical companies from blocking cheaper generic alternatives from entering the marketplace. Twice Senator Grassley introduced legislation to amend the Packers and Stockyards Act to make it unlawful for a packer to own, feed, or control livestock intended for slaughter, in order to ensure that family farmers and independent producers receive fair prices for their efforts.
Senator Grassley urged the Justice Department Antitrust Division in August to conduct a vigorous review of the proposed mergers of Cigna Corp. with Express Scripts Holding Co., and CVS Health Corp. with Aetna Inc. "to ensure that competitive markets in the pharmaceutical supply chain are not impacted adversely." Senator Grassley asked the FTC to investigate whether certain provisions in contracts between health providers and health insurers are anticompetitive and deliberately designed to prevent consumers' access to quality, lower cost care, and to investigate "pay-for-delay" deals related to biologic medicines. Prior to their approval by the Justice Department, Senator Grassley expressed concern over the mergers of Dow Chemical and DuPont and Tyson Foods, Inc. and The Hillshire Brands Company.
With regard to the possibility of serving as Judiciary Committee Chairman in the next congress, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the next senior ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee after Sen. Grassley and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), said, "If I am fortunate enough to be selected by my colleagues to serve as Chairman, I will push for the appointment and Senate confirmation of highly qualified conservative judges to the federal bench and aggressive oversight of the Department of Justice and FBI. Finally, I will continue to seek common sense, bipartisan solutions to major issues facing our nation."
Senator Grassley has served as a senator for Iowa since 1980, and has been on the Judiciary Committee every year that he served in the Senate. With Senator Hatch's retirement, Senator Grassley will take over as Senate pro tem.

These women continue to have their independence in a supervised setting. They participate in everyday living with in the home and in the community. We are located in the heart of Richmond Hill, On, and have walking access to parks, churches, community and senior centres, the library, shopping and more.
Using a non-medical model for dementia care from Europe we create a co-housing type of structure where families and their loved ones have a say in their care and experience a sense of community with the other residents and their families. This specific model of care is from Berlin, Germany and is called "Freunde alter Menschen" in partnership with the "Les petits frères des Pauvres" organization originating in France. There are over 300 of these homes successfully operating in Berlin and over 600 of these homes operating in all of Germany for the past 20 years. The success of these "living communities" is the home setting where a small number of residents are given opportunities to feel useful, and they have a small constant reference group which gives them a sense of "belonging" in this dementia journey. Klaus Pawletko, the sociologist who has been in charge of setting up these homes in Berlin believes that these small home environments help to reduce medication and give the families of the elderly "a peace of mind" that their loved one is being well cared for.
At Memory Lane Home Living, we use a person-centred care model and insist that all who volunteer and are part of the in-home support team have training/experience with this model of dementia care. Person centred care is usually achieved in a small setting were the ratio of supervision is low and the emphasis is on relationships. Dr. David Sheard out of the UK believes that relationships are the most important part of dementia care. He would say that in order to develop relationships we have to be able to meet the elderly where they are in their dementia journey. This chapter of their life should be a journey of love, compassion, care and belonging.

NFL DFS Week 13 First Look: Joe Burrow the Bane of the Chiefs' Existence
Articles NFL
DFS News & Articles
Alex Hunter
Ahead of Sunday's 12-game slate, this NFL DFS first look article provides an early look at DraftKings and FanDuel main slates and evaluates some of the top options at each position.
NFL First Look: Week 13 NFL DFS Picks
As always, be sure to watch all of the Stokastic NFL shows on the Stokastic YouTube Channel all the way up to lock to get the breaking news and best Week 13 NFL DFS picks.
Joe Burrow, CIN vs. KC ($6,900 DraftKings, $8,300 FanDuel)
With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) returning and this home matchup with the Chiefs boasting the highest total on the slate (52.5 points), Burrow is a great spend this week. He ranks eighth in yards per attempt (7.7) and second in touchdowns passing this season (23). Burrow has flashed major upside, eclipsing 30 DraftKings points in 3 of 11 starts and averaged 29.7 DraftKings points per game in two matchups with Kansas City last season. Plus, the quarterback is averaging 24.3 DraftKings points per game in totals of at least 50 points (seven games) and has been 4.2 DraftKings points per game better on his home turf opposed to when on the road for his career. This is an eruption spot for Burrow, and he may get overlooked in GPPs given the depth at quarterback this week.
Mike White, NYJ vs. MIN ($5,400 DraftKings, $6,900 FanDuel)
Drawing the start over Zach Wilson this past Sunday, White was terrific, completing 78.6% of his passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions, resulting in 27.8 DraftKings points in the win over the Bears. In four career starts, White is now averaging an efficient 8.7 yards per attempt and has thrown seven touchdowns to four interceptions. Coming off the 21-point win, White should remain the Jets' starting quarterback this Sunday and gets another beautiful matchup against the Vikings, who are giving up the most yards per pass attempt this season (7.8). This game's total is the sixth highest on the slate (45.5 points) and White is a great way to save at quarterback in this juicy spot.
Nick Chubb, CLE vs. HOU ($8,000 DraftKings, $9,600 FanDuel)
Since returning from their bye, the Browns have heavily relied on Chubb, giving him 17 carries per game — which is 76% of the team's running back carries — including five red zone attempts over the last three weeks. Chubb has played 54.3% of the snaps during this time and has run a route on 36% of his team's dropbacks, gaining a target on 17% of those routes. After tearing up the Buccaneers for 23.2 DraftKings points this past Sunday, Chubb meets a Texans defense that is the second-worst-graded unit on PFF and has yielded the fifth-most yards per rush (4.9). The Browns' implied team total is tied for the highest on the slate (27.5) and they are seven-point favorites. For his career, Chubb is producing 21.1 DraftKings points per game when Cleveland has been favorited and carried an implied team total of at least 25 points (15 points).
Isiah Pacheco, KC vs. CIN ($5,700 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel)
In his first start since Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was placed on IR, Pacheco received a huge role as the Chiefs' top back in Week 12, carrying the ball 22 times — including an eye popping 12 red zone attempts — while playing 51.3% of the snaps. He also ran a route on 30% of his team's dropbacks. Pacheco is averaging a solid 0.34 DraftKings points per snap this season and should see a minimum of 15 touches in a terrific setting against the Bengals this Sunday. In addition to this game's total being the highest on the slate (52.5 points), Kansas City's implied team total is the largest on the board (27.5 points) and they are two-point favorites. Pacheco is far too cheap for his upside and is an excellent, affordable way to gain a share of this slate-best environment.
Latavius Murray, DEN vs. BAL ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,400 FanDuel)
While this isn't an ideal spot against the Ravens, who are giving up the fourth fewest yards per rush (3.9), Murray has to be considered given his current role. With Melvin Gordon released and Chase Edmonds (ankle) on IR, Murray led the Broncos with 13 carries last Sunday — including two red zone rushes — while logging 81.7% of the snaps. Additionally, while the only garnered one target, Murray ran a route on 65% of his team's dropbacks. This is truly an elite role and Murray should have no trouble beating his cheap salaries this weekend, despite the difficult matchup with Baltimore. He ranks 19th among running backs in DraftKings points per snap this season (0.37) and is averaging 12.4 DraftKings points per game when he gets double-digit carries.
Ja'Marr Chase, CIN vs. KC ($7,900 DraftKings, $8,900 FanDuel)
Chase is expected to make his return from a four-game absence Sunday, just in time for this shootout against the Chiefs. On top of this contest's being the highest on the slate (52.5 points), the Bengals' implied team total is tied for the second largest on the board (26.5 points). This season, Chase is leading Cincinnati with a 27.7% target share and ranks sixth among receivers in red zone targets (14). Chase owns a career average of 26.1 DraftKings points per game in totals of at least 50 points (five games) and is worth paying up for in his return.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET vs. JAX ($7,100 DraftKings, $8,000 FanDuel)
At these price points, St. Brown is a no-brainer for Week 13. He has been targeted on 32% of his routes this season, including nine red zone targets. This Jacksonville defense St. Brown is facing is surrendering the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.1) and this game's total ranks second on the slate (51.5 points). Furthermore, the Lions' implied team total is tied for the second largest on the board (26.5 points) and they will be on their home turf. At home this season, St. Brown is averaging 23.4 DraftKings points per game.
Garrett Wilson, NYJ vs. MIN ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,600 FanDuel)
In his first start with White under center, Wilson was targeted on 29% of his routes last Sunday. He led the Jets in targets with eight — including two red zone targets — while no other player on the team saw more than three targets. Wilson should continue to operate as White's main target going forward and is an elite value play in this prime matchup against the Vikings. Not only is Minnesota surrendering the most yards per pass attempt (7.8), but they are also allowing the most yards (2,173) and fourth-most catches to receivers this season (160).
David Njoku, CLE vs. HOU ($3,900 DraftKings, $5,800 FanDuel)
After seeing limited work in Week 11 due to an ankle injury, Njoku was unlocked this past Sunday, running a route on 74% of dropbacks and seeing a target on 25% of those routes, including three targets over 20 yards and two red zone targets. He has been targeted on 21% of his routes this season and not only is this great matchup for Njoku, with the Texans allowing the seventh-most yards per pass attempt (7.1), he sees a quarterback upgrade this Sunday, going from Jacoby Brissett to Deshaun Watson. Njoku should effortlessly out produce these low price tags and is an awesome, cheap way to attack this Browns' squad that is tied for the highest implied team total on the slate (27.5 points).
Foster Moreau, LV vs. LAC ($3,600 DraftKings, $5,500 FanDuel)
Moreau remains far too cheap for his role with Darren Waller (hamstring) on IR and is easily one of the best tight end values on the slate in this matchup with the Chargers that sports the third-highest total on the slate (50.5 points). With Waller sidelined since Week 5, Moreau has run a route on 90% of his team's dropbacks and has garnered a target on 17% of those routes, including five red zone targets during this six-game span. Los Angeles' defense is the fifth-worst-graded unit on PFF, and Moreau should return value with double-digit fantasy points in this plus spot.

Week 13 NFL DFS Value Picks: Trevor Lawrence Fresh Off His Best Game of the Season
NBA DFS Leverage Picks & Optimizer Plays: Anthony Edwards Playing Without Karl-Anthony Towns


I don't know when someone is supposed to tell their resolutions; before New Year's, right before the ball drops, after the ball drops? Anyway, I need something to post, so might as well post them now. You may post yours if you like.
Learn to play the harmonica.
Take better care of myself.
Try to be more sympathetic.
So I woke up at six yesterday morning so I could wake up everybody and open presents, but everyone was a pooper and wouldn't wake up. I got toy trains, chocolate, and a bigger and better mp3 player (finally) from Santa. My mp3 player can hold videos and photos, so I put in my favorite Bob Dylan and Donovan photos so I can look at them while I listen to "I Love My Shirt" or something. I got three CDs from my mom. I got Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume II, the I'm Not There soundtrack (for those who don't know, I'm Not There is a movie about the many sides of Bob Dylan. The two CDs are mostly just random covers of Bob Dylan songs and not really from the movie at all), and The Hollies sing Dylan. The Hollies is another good band from the 60's, and the CD is just them singing Bob Dylan songs. My mom also got me this weird little electric bug thing that scurries away from you if you make a loud noise. It's weird. My dad got me that record player I was talking about earlier. We have a plan to clear off Andelle's old desk and connect it to her computer, then we can move the files to my computer using my new "memory stick" that my dad also gave me. The next best present I got was a brownie pan that has lines going through it so every piece can have an edge. Andelle didn't have her annual meltdown in the morning like she usually does, but she did later when we refused tell her something that's none of her business.
Bob Dylan bootlegs are the best. Dad let me steal some from his computer. It has some of my favorites, like "She Belongs to Me", "Love Minus Zero/ No Limit", "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue", and my new favorite "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" Groovy.
So the big thing I want for Christmas is a record player that can also save music on my computer. The only problem is that there's so many issues. Also it's kind of expensive. The cheapest one so far was $100, but that's because it was literally cheap.
I need to either get a flash drive or plug it directly in to my computer. I don't want to move my computer into my room, because my room is cold and it smells. Also I'd have no life because then I'd just be a creepy kid who never leaves. I don't want it in the living room because two record players in one room is stupid and I don't want Torry to touch it.
I'd need a stero to listen to it, which would mean more money. Or I could get a boom box that I would be able to plug it into, which is still more money, but not as much. Or I could plug it into my computer, but that would bring back to square one.
Do I want a cover or no? Will I be okay with putting the stylus on manually? Oh, if only I could plug my computer into my dad's record player, but since he bought his 25 years ago, that isn't possible. I can only imagine using a record player exactly like my dad's, so it's very hard imagining using something else.
The reviews on Amazon scare me. People saying the platter was warped, the stylus scratched their records, the belt went too fast, it couldn't play music when it was recording, it would only play music if it was recording. All it takes is one bad review and I look elsewhere.
I have no clue what I want exactly!

Q: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n_splits' ERROR I was going to try the code in this link:
I am getting error from the line which refers to StratifiedKFold(n_splits=60). Can anybody tell me how i can solve this error?
Here is the Code:
import numpy as np
from scipy import interp
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from itertools import cycle

from sklearn import svm, datasets
from sklearn.metrics import roc_curve, auc
from sklearn.cross_validation import StratifiedKFold

iris = datasets.load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target
X, y = X[y != 2], y
X, y

cv = StratifiedKFold(n_splits=6)
classifier = svm.SVC(kernel='linear', probability=True,
                     random_state=random_state)

mean_tpr = 0.0
mean_fpr = np.linspace(0, 1, 100)

Here is the error:
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-227-2af2773f4987> in <module>()
----> 1 sklearn.cross_validation.StratifiedKFold(n_splits=6)
      2 #cv = StratifiedKFold(n_splits=6,  shuffle=True, random_state=1)
      3 classifier = svm.SVC(kernel='linear', probability=True,
      4                      random_state=random_state)
      5

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'n_splits'

A: You are not getting any warnings while importing the sklearn.cross-validation module. This means that your installed version is less than 0.18.
If your scikit-learn version is < 0.18, then change the below lines:
(Taken from StratifiedKFold documentation for version 0.17)
#Notice the extra parameter y and change of name for n_splits to n_folds
cv = StratifiedKFold(y, n_folds=6)

#Also note that the cv is called directly in for loop
for train_index, test_index in cv:
   print("TRAIN:", train_index, "TEST:", test_index)
   X_train, X_test = X[train_index], X[test_index]
   y_train, y_test = y[train_index], y[test_index]

If your scikit-learn version is >=0.18, then only you can use the n_splits parameter for the cv:
(Taken from StratifiedKFold current documentation, which is what I think you are referring to)
#Notice the extra parameter y is removed here
cv = StratifiedKFold(n_splits=6)

#Also note that the cv.split() is called here (opposed to cv in ver 0.17 above)
for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X, y):
   print("TRAIN:", train_index, "TEST:", test_index)
   X_train, X_test = X[train_index], X[test_index]
   y_train, y_test = y[train_index], y[test_index]

Recommendation:
Update your scikit-learn to the latest version 0.18. Because most documentation you will find by directly searching will be of this version and it will get you confused.
Edit:
I have already answered your similar question here:
- Issue with Cross Validation
So next time, please mention the version of libraries you use in the question itself, and remember to access their relevant documentation, not the other ones.

Canadians looking to join ISIS and other extreme groups are making a quick buck in the oilsands before travelling overseas, Edmonton's police chief told The National Post.
Rod Knecht confirmed to reporter Stewart Bell the Edmonton Police Service had seen extremists get jobs in northern Alberta to earn money to fund trips to join terrorist groups overseas.
"You can go up to Fort McMurray ... you're relatively anonymous, you're in one of those work camps and you can make a hockey sack of money in a very, very short period of time," Knecht said.
Aspiring extremist fighters require cash to pay for items such as travel and weapons, the newspaper said, and many also have to go without a regular income for lengthy periods.
An investigation by the Post uncovered that three Canadians had worked in Alberta's north before joining up with ISIS; two of them were from Ontario.
The Post noted that Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the gunman who killed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at Ottawa's National War Memorial in October, worked in the oilsands as well, before a planned trip to Libya.
The newspaper also addressed the issue of radicalization in Alberta.
On Wednesday, the RCMP issued a news release following the Post's story, saying, "The key issue of radicalization is not [centered] around a location, local economy or other geographic concern.
"There is no indication that Fort McMurray is more at risk than any other community in Alberta, or the country for national security concerns," it read.
"The RCMP is concerned by any terror related activity that is a direct threat to Canada as a country."
In September, Mahamad Accord, the head of the Edmonton-based Canadian Somali Congress Western Canada, warned Prime Minister Stephen Harper that young people from his community were being recruited to join the terrorist group — some, he said, were as young as 16 years old.
"We cannot sit idly to see these criminals putting our young lives at risk and becoming a pawn for ISIS terrorists," Accord said at the time.
But it appears ISIS recruits aren't just coming from Edmonton.
In the same month, Vice News posted an interview with Farah Shirdon, an ISIS fighter from Calgary, who said the group was planning attacks on New York and planned to fly its own flag over the White House.
