As it turns out, the recurring challenges we experience with our partners are often related to stuff from the past (often as early as childhood) that shaped how we experience the world. Understanding this connection to your past is the key to defusing arguments and finding more understanding and love in your relationship.
"But," you may be wondering, "Is it always that deep? How can you tell when it really is just about the dishes?"
1. Have you and your partner had the same argument two or more times? If so, there's likely a past hurt underneath the presenting issue.
Note: If you and your partner sometimes have interactions like this, never fear: many couples do. Keep reading to learn how to navigate these tricky repeat arguments.
2. Are you and your partner able to figure out how to remedy the issue in a few minutes' time, without getting into an argument? If so, then neither of you are likely experiencing historical hurt.
Partner B: "I have a thing tonight - but I can do them in the morning. Would that work?"
Partner A: "Okay then I'll try to get to them tonight but if I don't, it would be great if you could take care of them in the morning. Thanks."
Note: If you and your partner can't do this about a particular topic, that's not necessarily an indication that there's anything "wrong" with you as a couple. It means that you have something deeper to explore together - and that's actually a good opportunity to strengthen your relationship.
Simply put: it's (almost) never about the dishes.
What am I most frustrated about?
Example: My partner forgetting to do the dishes.
What scares me about that thing?
Example: The idea that my partner doesn't care about me or think I'm important.
When can I remember the above scary dynamic (in this example, the idea that I'm not cared about or important) coming up for me in my childhood?
Example: My dad used to slack on helping me get me ready in the mornings sometimes, and when I got to school without my lunch, I felt unimportant, lonely, and embarrassed.
What didn't I get back then that I really needed?
Example: Consistency, attention, and care.
How am I acting with my partner when I feel those needs (in this example, the needs for consistency, attention, and care) aren't being met in the present-day?
Example: I don't say anything about the dishes, and it builds up inside until one day I explode in anger at my partner.
Once you've explored these feelings on your own, give your partner an opportunity to understand you a little better by sharing your reflections with them. Often, partners are much more available to hear present hurts that are related to real wounds from the past. This is for two main reasons: 1) suddenly your partner is not the "bad guy," and 2) learning about your challenges as a kid gives them an opportunity to experience deeper kindness and empathy for you. It helps them to see your hurt in the context of an earlier formative experience.
Keep in mind that your partner likely has their own history around what it feels like to be criticized at home (like for not cleaning the dishes), and it may also be helpful for them to consider what comes up for them around this frustration. If they are open to exploring their own emotions with you, you can ask your partner some of the questions from the reflection practice above to learn a little more about what's going on for them. You'll probably find that they aren't skipping the dishes because they don't care about you.
Once you've connected with your partner about the deeper emotional context behind your initial frustrations, it's up to the two of you to find areas where you're willing to stretch to meet one another's needs. And when empathy is present, this is done out of love rather than obligation.
If your partner needs less micro-managing, maybe your stretch is to experiment with providing more positive support when your partner does things that you appreciate, and less criticism when they don't. This may help them heal old hurts of feeling stifled or incompetent. And if your partner needs more consistency, maybe your stretch is to experiment with developing routines together, even though that might not typically be your style. This may help your partner heal old hurts of feeling lonely or unimportant.
In an ideal world, we'd all know exactly what is under the surface of a present-day frustration after just a few moments' reflection so that we can address it in real-time. While that may not always be possible, if you practice the above reflection exercise enough, you'll become more skillful at decoding your frustration in the moment. As often as you can remember, ask yourself, "If it's not about the dishes, what is it really about?"
One of the gifts of being in a relationship is that you get opportunities to heal and grow with someone who really cares about you. What often comes disguised as a problem with you or your partner is actually an invitation: to become curious about your pain, to be compassionate with your partner's pain, and to stretch into new behaviors together. In the process, you'll form a deeper and more meaningful connection.
Would you like support with navigating repetitive arguments and transforming them into powerful growth experiences? I work with individuals and couples in San Francisco who want to explore how they can make their relationships more fun, supportive, and fulfilling.

The eight feet belong to Dervla Murphy, her nine-year-old daughter Rachel and Juana, an elegant mule, who together clambered the length of Peru, from Cajamarca near the border with Ecuador, to Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, over 1300 miles to the south. With only the most basic necessities to sustain them and spending most of their time above 10,000 feet, their journey was marked by extreme discomfort, occasional danger and even the temporary loss of Juana over a precipice. Yet mother and daughter, a formidable duo, were unflagging in their sympathetic response to the perilous beauty and impoverished people of the Andes. In this extraordinary adventure, Dervla Murphy is at her intrepid best, facing up to the terrors, horrors and joys of her journey along the mountain paths.

André Devambez, né le  à Paris et mort dans la même ville le , est un peintre et illustrateur français.

Vie et œuvre

Biographie
André Devambez est le fils du graveur, imprimeur et éditeur Édouard Devambez, fondateur de la Maison Devambez à Paris. À sa naissance dans le , son père a vingt-trois ans et sa mère vingt-deux.

André grandit dans une ambiance artistique et décide très jeune de devenir un artiste. Dès son plus jeune âge, André Devambez travaille également avec son père. Ils conçoivent dans l'atelier du passage des Panoramas, où se situe la Maison Devambez, papiers à lettres, menus, impressions artistiques et diverses publicités, tous animés d'un fourmillement de vie qui font le succès de la Maison. Il étudie à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Paris dans l'atelier du peintre Benjamin Constant, et reçoit aussi des conseils de Gabriel Guay et de Jules Lefebvre à l'académie Julian.

Il expose au Salon des artistes français dès 1889 et y obtient une médaille de  classe en 1898, année où il passe en hors-concours.

Membre du jury du Salon des artistes français, il obtient le grand prix de Rome en peinture de 1890 et se lie d'amitié avec le peintre Adolphe Déchenaud dont il fait le portrait lors de son séjour à la Villa Médicis.

Il meurt le  en son domicile  au  avenue d'Orléans dans le  arrondissement de Paris, et est inhumé au cimetière du Père-Lachaise ().

Le peintre

Devambez oriente son art vers les représentations de scènes de la vie moderne. Le musée d'Orsay à Paris conserve neuf de ses œuvres, dont son tableau le plus connu, La Charge. Cette scène de rue dramatique, peinte en 1902, montre la violente confrontation entre la police et les manifestants sur le boulevard Montmartre, vue de la fenêtre d'un étage élevé. Cette perspective plongeante se retrouve régulièrement dans l'œuvre de Devambez.

Très caractéristiques aussi sont ses « tous-petits », des tableaux peints sur bois en petit format.

En 1910, il est invité à réaliser des panneaux décoratifs pour la nouvelle ambassade de France à Vienne. Il choisit comme thème les inventions de son temps, peignant le métro, un omnibus, un avion, un aéroplane.

Le dessinateur et graveur
André Devambez produit un nombre considérable de dessins, y compris un album de douze eaux-fortes, issues d'un tirage limité à 150 exemplaires en 1915. Les douze gravures de cet album représentent des scènes de la Première Guerre mondiale, aux titres suivants : Le Froid, Les Trous d'obus, Le Bouclier, L'Incendie, Un Schrapnell, La Pluie, L'Espionne, Les Otages, Gare la Marmite, Les Réserves, Le Charbon, Le Fou.

L'illustrateur
Devambez écrit et illustre aussi des livres. Auguste a mauvais caractère (1913) est un livre pour enfants avec ses illustrations coloriées à la main par le maître du pochoir stencil technique, Jean Saudé. Les illustrations originales sont présentées à une exposition l'année suivante au palais de Glace. C'est le premier d'un grand nombre de livres pour enfants, Histoire de la petite Tata et du gros patapouf, Les Aventures du Gros Patapouf et Les Aventures du Capitaine Mille-Sabords. , Pierre (1902-1980) qui deviendra archéologue et conservateur des antiquités grecques et romaines du Louvre, et Valentine (1907-2003), qui sera artiste et professeur de dessin.

André Devambez illustre également des ouvrages d'Émile Zola (La Fête à Coqueville), Charles Le Goffic (Le poilu a gagné la guerre, 1919), et Claude Farrère (Les Condamnés à mort).

Devambez collabore comme illustrateur pour Le Figaro illustré, Le Rire, et L'Illustration.

Postérité
Tombé relativement dans l'oubli, il est remis à l'honneur en 1988 par une  exposition au musée de Beauvais (donation du fonds d'atelier) et surtout par celle organisée, en 2022, par le musée des beaux-arts de Rennes et le Petit Palais de Paris (du 9 septembre 2022 au 5 février 2023).

Daughter of Anderson Smith Randal and Sophia Mitchell, Susan "Susie" Jane Randall was born April 6, 1862 in Franklin County, Georgia.
Susan "Susie" Jane Randall was likely named in honor of her Aunt (Anderson's sister), Susanna(h) Jane Randal. It is also likely that her Aunt Susanna(h) Jane Randal-Mitchell was present during most of her early years; especially since Susanna(h) Jane Randal-Mitchell had married Susie's Uncle (Sophia's brother), Elisha "Eli" W. Mitchell. Clearly, these two families would have been very close.
According to the 1870 U.S. Census, her grandmother, Martha Mitchell lived only two houses away from her. Considering that Martha lived until 1889, it is highly likely that "Susie" grew up with the presence of her grandmother.
Susie's father, Anderson Smith Randal, died on December 1, 1875, when she was only 13 years old.
Susie Jane Randall - In her youth.
Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden - In his youth.
Most of the original 1890 U.S. Federal Census records were destroyed or badly damaged by a fire in the Commerce Department in 1921. Records enumerating only 6,160 individuals—less than one percent of the schedules—survived. Those for the Madden family were destroyed.
1900 U.S. Census. Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden's family begins on line 9. Here the census taker recorded his name as "George".
Note: Various types of errors on census forms were, and remain, common. For example, it is possible that Jeremiah "Gose" Madden was called "George" at that time. Also, several of the children's names were spelled as they "sounded" to the census taker. Despite all of this, the above census record is clearly that of our ancestor.
The Madden house. Photo taken during 1991.
At some point between the 1900 and 1910 U.S. Census, Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden's older brother, Labourn Hamilton Madden and his wife Mary Elizabeth Griffin Randall Madden (the widow of Elisha Burrell Randall, and mother of Thomas Doomous (Dumas) Randall), moved much of their family to Childress County, Texas. It is not known whether they arrived before or after the death of Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden.
After Jerry died, Sue Jane, as an active member of the Decatur First Baptist Church (located just down the street from her small home), ran a boarding house for men studying at the Decatur Baptist Seminary. The boarders slept in the an attic room. She also served family style lunches for 5 cents during the 1910's, 20's and 30's.
1910 U.S. Census. Susie J. Madden's family begins on line 4.
Note: In this census S.J. Madden incorrectly reports her age as 46 (should have been 48).
The 1900 U.S. Census indicated that Susie had 10 children, all of whom were living. In the 1910 U.S. Census (after the death of Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden - who died on Aug. 26, 1906) she indicates that she had 12 children, 10 of which were still living. From this we can surmise that between 1900 and 1906 she had two children who had died.
The 1910 U.S. Census showed their oldest son, Arthur Wiley Madden, living with his Brother-in-law, Dud Roark, Byrtie Vada Madden-Roark, and their two daughters, L. Pauline Roark & Susie M. Roark, in Petrolia (Clay County), Texas. Almost 10 years after the death of Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden, on May 20, 1916, Arthur Wiley Madden (age 32), drowned in an oil rig accident in Alexandria (Rapides County) Louisiana).28)29) His "Record of Funeral" (shown below) listed him as "Single" (never having been married).

Front Row (seated): Lois Coettries Madden-Bardorff-Keith, Susan "Susie" Jane Randall-Madden & Frely May Madden Cherry.
1930 U.S. Census. Susie Madden's family begins on line 73.
Note: Susie's listed birthplace along with the birthplace of her mother are obvious errors. Both should have been listed as Georgia.
Susan "Susie" Jane Randall-Madden (dressed in black), age 76, with some of her children. Circa 1938. The male (to her left) appears to be her son, Henry Otto Madden, Sr.
According to the 1940 U.S. Census, Susie was still earning a living through taking in boarders. At that time, she had two "lodgers" in addition to her daughter (Lois Madden Batdorff) living with her (as her "Helper").
1940 U.S. Census. Susie Jane Madden is listed on line 44.

Susan "Susie" Jane Randall Madden. Date unknown.
A short time before her 81st birthday, Susie died on March 28, 1943 at her home in Decatur (Wise County), Texas, from heart disease.
Susan Jane Randall Madden "Death Certificate". Cause of death, heart disease. Note that the death certificate incorrectly spells Anderson's last name as "Randell" and Sophia's maiden name is incorrectly listed as "Hunter" (was actually Mitchell). The death certificate was completed from information provided by Susie's daughter, Lois. It is likely that Lois made these errors because she never met Anderson (he died before she was born) and Sophia died when Lois was only 6 years old (in 1900). Also, since "Susie" and Jeremiah Gose (Jerry) Madden moved their family to Texas sometime prior to April 1896, Lois would not have grown up around her grandmother (Sophia).
"Texas Death Index, 1903-2000". Sue Jane Madden's name appears 5th from the bottom.


Helitune seeks to be a responsible buyer of goods and services. We set high standards to ensure that all our business is conducted ethically, sustainably and within the law.
We also expect our suppliers to comply with all applicable local laws and regulations, and to respect internationally-recognised human and labour rights.
An excellent company is by definition a safe company. Helitune is committed to its responsibilities under the framework of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and its associated Regulations.
Our intention is to provide safe and healthy working conditions and to ensure work activities are conducted safely so as not to harm employees, the public and contractors. We expect our suppliers to comply with relevant legislation such as CoSHH, REACH and RoHS where appropriate. Suppliers working on our sites are expected to respect our safety culture and, where applicable, we will seek evidence that our suppliers are compliant.
Helitune is committed to minimise its emissions, waste and the unnecessary use of natural resources by reusing and recycling materials. We expect our suppliers to manage and reduce their carbon footprint and encourage their supply chain to do the same.
Helitune does not tolerate any form of bribery and corruption, and is committed to acting responsibly wherever it operates in the world, and to engaging with its stakeholders in order to manage the social, environmental and ethical impact of its activities in the different markets in which it operates.
Helitune does not engage in bribery or any form of unethical inducement or payment, including facilitation payments and 'kickbacks'. Furthermore, the Company will uphold laws relevant to countering bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which it operates, particularly laws that are directly relevant to specific business practices.
Helitune expects suppliers to respect its policy and not engage in any form of commercial bribery or kickback, or offer any incentive to any Helitune employee, their family or friends, in order to win or retain Helitune business.
Helitune will ensure that appropriate risk assessments and internal controls are in place, and will establish feedback mechanisms in order to maintain accurate records which properly and fairly reflect all financial transactions. Internal control systems, including risk assessments where appropriate, will be subject to regular audits. The supplier and Helitune must keep accurate records of all matters related to the supplier's business with Helitune.
Helitune shall follow all applicable laws, regulations and directives concerning the employment or engagement of public officials, including those dealing with conflicts of interest.
The Company will maintain policies to address or mitigate the risk of undue or improper conflicts of interest. If an employee of the supplier is a family relation to any Helitune employee, or if the supplier has any other relationship that might represent a conflict of interest, the supplier should disclose this fact to Helitune, and ensure that the relevant Helitune employee also does so.
Suppliers should protect confidential information belonging to or vested in Helitune in accordance with all relevant laws, and act to prevent its misuse, theft, fraud, or improper disclosure. Suppliers must take due care in handling, discussing, or transmitting sensitive or confidential information that could affect Helitune, its employees, its customers, the business community or the public, even after their assignment or contract with Helitune has expired.
Helitune is a 'Living Wage' employer. We believe that paying a decent wage is good for the people who work for us, and also makes good business sense too. The Living Wage Foundation promotes a UK Living Wage based on hourly rates that are set independently and updated in November of each year. Helitune employees are paid a basic hourly rate at or in excess of the Living Wage, with the exception of Apprentices who are on structured pay progression systems.
A supplier's relationship with Helitune will not be affected by an honest report of potential misconduct.


Two Rusty-cheeked Hornbills at the Pata Zoo (fig.) in Bangkok. This species is also commonly known as Brown Hornbill or Tickell's Brown Hornbill (fig.).
This medium-sized hornbill is about 60–65 cm in length. It eats by picking up its food with the tip of its beak, which it then throws up in the air and catches again with an open bill, before swallowing it.
Whereas it is dark chestnut above, it is reddish-brown below. See also List of Thai Animal Names.


You've been searching and searching for months for a new home, and finally, you've found the home of your dreams. It's in the perfect location, you love the layout, and you've been offered a fair price.
But, before you cross your T's and dot your I's, there's one thing that you have to do- hire a home inspector.
While hiring a home inspector costs money, the inspection they conduct can save thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs in the long-run. In fact, you may even find out that the house that you thought was your dream home is actually a dud.
But, it's important to keep in mind that not every home inspector is the same. In order to get the best inspection of your future home, you need to hire the best home inspector.
Check out this guide to learn the top tips for vetting your home inspector.
Before you start searching for home inspectors, you should know what to expect when hiring one.
For a basic home inspection, you should expect about 2 to 3 hours, costing you anywhere between $300 and $1000. The price will vary depending on the location of the home, the size, the experience of the inspector, and the scope of the inspection.
To understand what your home inspection does and does not require, you can check out the home inspection trade associations' website.
This list may surprise you, as you may find that many home inspectors don't include chimney inspections, solar heating inspections, swimming pool inspections, home security equipment inspections, or water treatment system inspections.
Some home inspectors also don't test for the presence of mold, lead, or radon.
However, many home inspectors offer these services at an additional charge, so be sure to inquire if you'd like to add them on.
Your real estate agent is one of the best resources for finding top quality home inspectors.
This is because quality real estate agents who have been in the business for a while will have already worked with a number of home inspectors.
They'll be able to tell you which ones you should consider hiring, and, just as importantly, which ones you should avoid.
A few minutes of online research can make all the difference when it comes to finding the right home inspector.
An experienced and trusted home inspector should have a good amount of reviews that attest to their professional ability.
You can find reviews and testimonials on the home inspector's website, but also on review sites like Yelp and Google My Business. You can also get in touch with your local Better Business Bureau and see if the home inspector has any outstanding complaints filed against them.
Most states have licensing requirements for home inspectors, so make sure the inspector you hire has these.
If you live in a state that does not require your home inspector to be licensed, you will want to make sure they're certified in some way.
Home inspectors can be certified by one of several different associations. This certification ensures that the home inspector will follow a certain code of ethics and standard of practice.
While certification doesn't necessarily prove that a home inspector is at the top of their class, it does prove that they are willing to go the extra mile in order to assure that their business is credible.
And, certification certainly isn't an easy feat. Inspectors must perform 250 home inspections, pass the ASHI standard exam and ethics exam, and pass the National Home Inspection Examination.
Also, make sure you ask for copies of certifications and licenses. Do not trust a home inspector on their word that they possess these certifications.
Lastly, you'll want to make sure the home inspector you hire has insurance. The insurance they should have is called errors and omissions insurance, which is a type of liability insurance that covers any mistakes they make.
Before hiring a home inspector, you should go through the home and jot down any potential problems that you see.
Then, talk to your inspector and find out exactly what they will and won't examine. If you're concerned about items that are not on the standard inspection list, ask if the inspector will look at those for an additional cost.
But, you'll also want to make sure that the inspector is qualified to perform those inspections. If they're not, you may also need to look into hiring other professionals, such as roofers, electricians, professional engineers, pest experts, or plumbers.
You should also ask your inspector how long the inspection will take and when you should expect to receive a written report.
Lastly, ask the inspector what will happen if they miss any problems. A good inspector will chalk up the cost of the repair.
As you can see, there's a lot that goes into vetting a home inspector before hiring one.
But, all this vetting is certainly worth it, because as we mentioned earlier, the right inspector can help you save thousands of dollars (And not to mention, thousands of headaches).
If you have any questions about hiring the right home inspector, please let us know in the comments below.
Otherwise, if you are in the Northeast Ohio area, be sure to get in touch with us to schedule an appointment with a top of the line home inspector.

Biographie

La vraie Madame Dalton
Ma Dalton s'inspire d'Adeline Dalton, née Younger, née en 1835 à Jackson, Missouri. À 15 ans, elle épouse Lewis Dalton avec lequel elle a quinze enfants. Après le départ de son mari, elle continue de s'occuper seule de ses enfants, y compris de ses fils sortis du droit chemin. Elle meurt en 1925 à Kingfisher, Oklahoma.

Le personnage de Lucky Luke

Ma Dalton apparaît pour la première fois dans l'album Ma Dalton sorti en 1971.

Albums

Ma Dalton (1971)
Elle était la femme de Pa Dalton (mort en tentant d'ouvrir un coffre-fort en utilisant de la dynamite plutôt que ses outils). Cette vieille dame vit seule avec son chat Sweetie et ce dernier donne généralement une peur bleue au chien Rantanplan. Ma reste toutefois une Dalton : elle est très habile avec un revolver et fait semblant d'attaquer les commerçants. Contre toute attente, Lucky Luke et Ma Dalton s'entendent bien, le cow-boy se montrant serviable avec elle, ce qu'elle apprécie.

L'Amnésie des Dalton (1991)
Dans L'Amnésie des Dalton, les frères Dalton font semblant d'être amnésiques pour pouvoir être relâchés. Lucky Luke est alors appelé pour escorter les Dalton et leur faire retrouver la mémoire. Le cow-boy passe alors chez Ma Dalton pour qu'elle constate leur amnésie, mais Ma aidera ses fils, et ce n'est que grâce à Averell que Lucky Luke s'en sortira...

Belle Starr (1995)
Ma Dalton réapparaît dans l'album Belle Starr tout comme ses fils ou encore Billy the Kid.

La Corde au cou (2007)
Afin de lutter contre la surpopulation des pénitenciers, les prisonniers dont les peines sont les plus longues seront pendus ! Les Dalton sont sur la liste et ne peuvent être gracié que si ils se marient ! Les frères Dalton font alors appel à leur mère pour leur trouver des femmes... Ma cherche partout passant par les filles de son boucher et de son médecin M. March, par des danseuses de saloon, ou encore par Calamity Jane et Lulu Carabine, mais en vain. Finalement, elle trouve juste à temps quatre squaws de la tribu des têtes plates. Les frères Dalton sont alors sauvés.

Les Tontons Dalton (2014)
Ma apparaît aussi dans l'album Les Tontons Dalton où elle est appelée pour surveiller avec ses fils et Lucky Luke le petit Emmet Junior Dalton, fils du redoutable gangster Emmet Dalton senior (cousin des Dalton) et d'une danseuse de saloon partant pour la France en tournée avec Buffalo Bill.

Q: A seemingly trivial property of differentiable functions NOTE. This is not really the question I wanted to ask. Somehow I forgot to mention that I am assuming $f$ is continuous. However, since Iosif's answer has been well-received I have left this question as it was and opened a new one with the right hypotheses.  You can find it here A seemingly trivial property of continuous functions differentiable at the origin (PART 2).
Let $F:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be a function such that $F(0)=0$, $F$ is differentiable at $0$ and $DF(0)$ is invertible. Is it true that for all $\epsilon>0$ there is $\delta>0$ such that
$$
DF(0)(B_{(1-\epsilon)\delta})\subset F(B_\delta)\subset DF(0)(B_{(1+\epsilon)\delta}),
$$
where $B_r$ is the ball of radius $r$ centered in $0$?

A: A counterexample to your assertion: Let $n=1$ and let
$$F(x):=x+4^{-j}$$
if $x\in(2^{-j},2^{1-j}]$ for any integer $j$, with $F(x):=x$ for real $x\le0$.

Indeed, then $F(x)=x+O(x^2)$ as $x\to0$, so that $F'(0)=1\ne0$. On the other hand, for any integer $j$, the function $F$ does not take any values in the interval $(2^{-j}+4^{-j-1},2^{-j}+4^{-j})$, whereas such intervals are arbitrarily close to $0$ if $j$ is large enough.

Here is the graph $\{(x,F(x))\colon-1<x<2\}$:

Of course, if we assume that $F$ is continuously differentiable in a neighborhood of $0$, then your desired conclusion will hold by the inverse function theorem.

The two-story, 9,200-square-foot Security Federal Savings and Loan building was constructed in 1958 and featured louvered windows and a jutting sign capped with a clock. After decades in this location, Security Federal merged with Sooner Federal in 1981 and soon vacated the building. The louvers were removed during a subsequent remodel, but the rest of the building retains most of its original elements.


Shannon Reece spent 22 years working in law enforcement in Southern California. She raised two boys, and after they grew up, she moved into an apartment in Huntington Beach. After suffering from several traumas on the job, she was offered early retirement and a medical pension. Now, in her mid-40s, Shannon has found herself at a crossroads. What should she do now?
For several years, Shannon had been watching Tiny House shows on television and daydreaming about one day hitting the road with her own home on wheels. After retiring unexpectedly early, Shannon began searching for the perfect design and found it at TruForm Tiny. After paying for the home to be built (cost was a little more than $80k) and buying a used truck, Shannon made the trip from California to Oregon to pick up her new Tiny Home.
On Memorial weekend, just a few days after picking up her Tiny Home, Shannon found herself trying to unhitch at Mt. Hood Tiny House Village. She stood staring at the sway bar and wondering how to detach it. That's when I walked by with my dog and boyfriend.
"Is this your Tiny House?" I asked. I'm always excited when I see another Tiny House in the RV park.
"What…" I mumbled, and then I realized she was asking my boyfriend.
Nabil sauntered over and helped Shannon remove her sway bar. A short while later, I was getting the grand tour of Shannon's new home. It's such a small world (pun intended)!
Later that night we all shared beers around the fire and played giant Jenga (yes, she owns a giant Jenga). Hey, you can't downsize everything!
Every good trip has at least one bump in the road.
After all, on my maiden Tiny House voyage my house became detached from the truck! In the year that followed, we dealt with flat tires, broken welds, and so many other mishaps. It's all part of the journey!

Action Transfers, also known as rub-on transfers, were an art-based children's pastime that was extremely popular throughout the world from the 1960s to the 1980s. They consisted of a printed cardboard background image and a transparent sheet of coloured dry transfer figures of people, animals, vehicles, weapons, explosions and so on. These transfers were supposed to be applied to the background scene by rubbing the top surface of the transparent sheet with a hard object or stylus; typically, this would mean a ball-point pen or a pencil; the figure would thereby be transferred from its sheet to the background. Since it was not customary to determine exactly where the transfers should be applied, surreal or comic effects could be achieved—whether deliberately or inadvertently—by juxtaposing the transfers and the background inappropriately. It was also possible to apply the transfer figures elsewhere than on the supplied background, and conversely it is quite common to come across finished transfer sets in which the descriptive lettering from the sheets has been applied to the background; an effect not intended by the manufacturer.

A number of different sets were distributed by a wide variety of companies between the late 1960s and the 1980s; these included sets based on popular comics and cartoons (e.g., DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Hanna Barbera, and Disney cartoons), television series and movies (e.g., Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica), as well as original content sets. Since Letraset had a patent monopoly on the dry rub-down transfer process, until the end of the 1970s any transfers supplied with these sets would have been printed by Letraset, firstly at Waterloo Road in London, then later at Ashford in Kent, and finally at their factory in Italy.

History

Letraset, the company that developed the Instant Lettering transfer sheets that dominated design and publishing before the advent of desktop publishing, created the first dry rub-down transfer sets for children and marketed them as "Instant Pictures" in 1964. They were originally silk screen printed and monochromatic, but by 1966 they were being produced using four spot colours.

Most of the Instant Pictures after 1965 were produced for either John Waddington Ltd. or Patterson Blick.

Letraset purchased a rotary gravure press which they installed at Ashford in Kent, and there they produced true full-colour transfers for the first time starting in 1967. These were not strictly CMYK colour transfers, because white ink is also required—since transfers are printed on transparent plastic, and not on white paper.

In 1969 the first Action Transfer sets were produced in this way, initially with a range of twelve sets—although the range rapidly expanded. Letraset stopped using the title "Instant Pictures" and from then on referred to their own transfers as "Action Transfers", even if they were not actually in the range of sets originally given that name.

In 1976, the production of Action Transfers was transferred to Letraset's Italian factory, Sodecor, where offset litho printing was used with transfers for the first time. The impetus for the move was a joint venture undertaken with Gillette to produce Action Transfers under the name Kalkitos. These were widely distributed around the world, with the brand name occasionally differing; in the US, they were known as Presto Magix.

After the acquisition of Letraset by Esselte in 1981, the production of transfers was continued by a British company named Acorn Printed Products, that was formed by several ex-Letraset staff members. Acorn still produce transfers to this day.

The company says it has driven more than 2 billion app installs from ads, putting it on par with Facebook.
At I/O on Wednesday, Google made several announcements for app developers looking to market and promote their apps with Google, including a new analytics platform for app developers.
The company also touted Universal App Campaigns — the campaign type that launched a year ago to enable developers to run ads across Google properties and networks with one campaign set up in either AdWords or the Google Play Developer Console — for helping Google become a competitor in the app install ad market, despite being late to the game. The number of app installs driven by ads more than doubled in the past year, the company announced, generating more than two billion app downloads. That puts Google in line with Facebook, which noted at this year's F8 developer conference that ads on its platforms have driven two billion app installs. (Let the stat battle begin.) App install ads have become big business; eMarketer estimated advertisers spent $3 billion on app install ads in the US alone last year.
Google's Cloud Platform business acquired Firebase in 2014, and it's now being relaunched as Google's new, free developer platform with a suite of products. Firebase Analytics will be part of the new Firebase platform.
The analytics piece is designed to track the engagement metrics and in-app actions that developers care about — average revenue per user, lifetime value and so on. It will pull in data from AdWords and more than 20 other ad networks. For AdWords, developers can feed conversion data captured in Firebase Analytics back into AdWords for campaign optimization when the accounts are linked.
Firebase Audiences integrates across all aspects of the Firebase platform to allow developers to group users together for message and ad targeting.
Universal App Campaigns have only been available to run ads on Android. Now in beta, iOS developers can target users on YouTube, the Google Search App and the Google Display Network.
Universal App Campaigns can already run across search, YouTube, AdMob, mobile sites in the Display Network and Google Play. Google announced that app ads will now "reach more users on YouTube" and will soon be available in the ad slots at the top of the Promotions tab in the mobile Gmail app.
With the 80/20 rule shown to apply to app users — 85 percent of app revenue comes from 17 percent of users, according to a RadiumOne study — Google is currently testing automated ad targeting and bidding in Universal App Campaigns to reach users most likely to take the actions that advertisers have prioritized. Universal App Campaigns currently offer a cost-per-install (CPI) bidding model in which advertisers set a CPI target and Google optimizes to that.
"Our models evaluate countless signals and unique insights into intent, and constantly learn and adjust, meaning every single optimization is based on the freshest, most relevant data," explained Sissie Hsiao, product management director for mobile app ads in the blog post outlining these changes.
The automated optimization is in testing now, and Google says it will roll out in the coming months.

The deputy chairman of GERB resigned his seat in Parliament following revelations that he acquired a luxurious apartment in Sofia for a fourth of the market price from a company in need of a strong political back in key places. The uncover sparked public outrage and has been the prime focus of the media's attention for almost two full weeks, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. And with good reason. The story lays facts, which spell out influence peddling in a way it is proving almost impossible to spin even for the PR gurus of GERB.
High(est) ranking politicians from the ruling party were able to purchase exclusive luxurious properties from one of the largest development companies in the country (especially in Sofia) at laughable prices. Among them a justice minister, two deputy ministers and the second most important figure in GERB, Tsvetan Tsvetanov. They paid a fourth of the apartment's market value, and that is by a very conservative estimate. Just around this time GERB initiated and passed key legislative changes, which fit the company's particular needs perfectly. The only issue, which couldn't be solved legislatively, was quickly taken care of via an order from the executive branch.
Tsvetanov's case was the first and most prominent, contended only by the later revelation that none other than the head of the Anticorruption Commission, the body whose sole purpose is to investigate corruption and conflict of interest in public office, Plamen Georgiev's high-end apartment was also purchased at prices, well below the market value. He also failed to declare the property correctly, saving himself about a quarter million leva in taxes.
Admittedly selling at low prices in of itself is not a crime. But being in a position of power and working on behalf of someone who gave you something at an exclusive price, is. The deal with Tsvetanov's apartment, as the other three are well documented in public official records and sandwiched between two curious events.
The apartment in question is in an apartment building of the infamous construction company Artex, which has built a number of high-end apartment buildings in the city. Their most ambitious project to date is a 34-story building in the heart of one of Sofia's most expensive neighborhoods, Lozenets. The building was and is very controversial, mostly due to its atypical height compared to its surroundings.
The company received a permit for the building but the rough construction work had to be finished by the end of 2017. Needless to say, it wasn't. Construction hadn't even begun, when the company filed for renewal in December of 2016. This document is the only way the company could carry on with the project and reserve the right to build. But curiously, the company later withdrew its application for the permit.
Meanwhile in January 2017, back in Parliament, GERB introduced an amendment to the Territory Planning Act, which extends the validity period of these types of permits from five years to ten. The amendments passed and were enacted into law the following month.
This change seemed to solve the problem with the expiring permit, which, by the way, costs 260'000 leva. Artex themselves cite the amendment when arguing their permit expires in 2020. But many disagree, and since the scandal broke, so does Sofia Municipality. There is a significant issue with this assertion: laws in Bulgaria do not have retroactive scope. This means that whatever amendment Parliament might have passed, this particular development project should fall under the terms and regulations from when the documents in question were issued. This would include the permit as well.
Today, at least two institutions are debating over whether or not the company lost the right to build during this time. Essentially the totality of the assertions by the different relevant state and municipal institutions on the matter is that the building is simultaneously legal and illegal. Sofia Municipality is suddenly very crisp its stance that the project's documents are invalid, although citizens of Lozenets have been alerting the same for years, and even filed the case in court, whose ruling is still pending. The institution, whose job is to oversee construction projects like this one, on the other hand, claims the company's permit was renewed automatically whenever the municipal administration issued a document regarding it. And since the chief architect of Sofia issued documents concerning the project, this very act, automatically extended the permit. There isn't a law to support this, in fact, the law clearly states a permit must be extended via the normal administrative procedure, but the head of the oversight body cites a ruling on a similar issue from a court case in Burgas. A weak argument, to say the least, but it keeps the two institutions tossing the question back and forth between each other when asked by reporters to explain the inconsistency.
Then there is the third key element to this: the deputy minister for regional development, Valentin Yovev, issued an official letter in August 2018 to clear future doubts: in the letter, he clearly states that with regards to this particular construction project, the new law should be taken into account. In other words, the permit should be treated as if it were issued under the provision of the amendments, which were enacted in 2017.
Tsvetanov's apartment, and the three other high-ranking GERB officials', were purchased in the Summer of 2018. In the case of Tsvetanov, the difference between the price he paid and the estimated market value is about 1'300'000 leva.
It became rather apparent that Tsvetanov would have to follow his collogues and resign. Tsetska Tsacheva, the now-former minister of justice, was one of them At the time the scandal broke, he was on a visit to the U.S. He arrived on Wednesday and went straight to meet with PM Boyko Borissov, signaling reporters that he will announce his decision afterward. He resigned his seat in Parliament and as leader of the parliamentary group of GERB. But the will keep his other two key posts in the party: as deputy chair and head of the elections committee of the party.
During the press conference, he refused to answer questions about the apartment. His reaktios to such questions bordered a breaking point. He was obviously reluctant to discuss the issue, to say the least, and only repeated: "it's all legal, it's all legal". When confronted that the legality of the deal per se is not the issue, he would jump at a random straw, changing the subject and answering reporters with a provocative question.
This was maybe the only time the public got a glimpse that the story had struck a real nerve among the first men at GERB.
Because apart from that, it is business as usual: four resignations but not a grain of fault admitted by anyone. The second most powerful person in GERB – or rather half of the very power nexus of GERB – resigned from Parliament amid this scandal but remains at the helm within the party. And especially, will be the one managing the task, which without a doubt is top priority: not only to keep winning elections going forward but to keep doing it is a way that secures GERB e comfortable amount of power.
Two questions and an answer are tangled here. One, why would one resign if they firmly believe they have done nothing wrong? Still, the one resigning, even if not at fault, obviously understands the association with this scandal is damaging enough. This is (at least) discussed and approved by the PM. Then why is Tsvetanov a/ painted as a victim and b/ not even for a moment gone to stand in the sidelines in the party? The answer, of course, goes to his importance in the party, and especially to Borissov.
The two are in symbiosis ever since the beginning. They are one, and if a part of it breaks the whole party might collapse. And with it, the whole fortress of GERB's deep state. But even more importantly, all their dealings and network of dependencies, connected companies, illegal lobbying, and personal gains would likely become all that much susceptible to collapse and becoming visible. Tsvetanov and Borissov must remain as one, otherwise, they'd immediately fall under the prisoner's dilemma. And that goes for everyone below them, be it to a lesser extent.
But this just might be the key weakness. The whole ring of power around GERB, including institutions such as the Anticorruption Commission, which to date has proven time and time again that its only function is to target whomever those in power deem inconvenient, have become too brazen to realize they are not yet entirely untouchable, and certainly not forever. This over-decade long power abundance has stripped the members of this exclusive ruling class of any caution in their power- and wealth-hungry pursuits. And, yes, we are now in a situation where the person, who should investigate Tsvetanov is also the one, who should investigate himself for the same reasons. But this model is not sustainable: the only way this vast network of shady dealings remains manageable and under Borissov's and Tsvetanov's control is for GERB to remain in full power indefinitely.
Borissov hardly seems too excited to be PM, and this is no news. But the stakes are too high: these recent revelations might prove to be the tip of the iceberg and Borissov and Tsvetanov, plainly, cannot afford to lose even a single molecule of authority. Over the past years, and more and more with every week, Borissov clearly demonstrates that he would do anything to stay in power. He has stopped giving any justification beyond having to preserve 'government stability'. But there actually may be a very good reason why. Perhaps guarding the levers of power is the only way he can be safe from their very purview. When this fortress cracks even a little – and sooner or later, it innevitably will – trying times might very well be ahead.
After it was revealed that the head of the Anticorruption Commission, Plamen Georgiev acquired his grand luxurious apartment for less than the property's assessed value, and that there are large-scale inconsistencies in his tax returns, the non-parliamentary coalition Democratic Bulgaria issued an official statement demanding his resignation.
The sites Frognews and Bivol made the initial findings. Along with finding the price pf the property is laughable, they also uncovered inconstancies in his tax returns, which have saved him nearly a quarter million leva.
Georgiev heads the body, whose purpose and jurisdiction is to investigate precisely such cases. In fact, Georgiev himself said before this that the commission will look "deep" into the apartment deals, in which high-ranking GERB officials acquired luxurious apartments for a fourth of their market worth.
After it was revealed he himself is in a similar position, at first, he refused to comment. A few days later he announced that the inconsistency in his tax return is due to a mistake in his property deed. Which he has since corrected, at that.
As for resigning his post and the question of should the person heading the body, investigating illegally obtained assets, corruption, and conflict of interest, they seem to be off the table for him and the ruling coalition as well.
He goes on to discredit further the people responsible for the revelations but fails to address the substance of the facts.
The parties in Parliament all are very reluctant to comment anything on Georgiev's property controversy. MPs from the ruling parties evaded questions about his tax returns, saying that the relevant institutions are the ones to assert the situation. A number of MPs refused to take any stance on the matter when asked.
A similar notion, be it not as firm, but essentially the same, came from the largest parliamentary opposition, the Bulgarian Socialist Party. They also think proper investigation should be conducted. Only after, if the competent institutions conclude wrongdoing, should Georgiev resign.
BSP's MPs have been boycotting Parliament for two months.
Over the course of about just over a month GERB managed to pass amendments to the Elections Act, which in effect made the provision for a preferential vote useless. It upped the threshold of votes a candidate would need to get in order to move forward in the ballot to a percent, which is practically impossible to reach. Doing away with the preference vote is a longstanding goal of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS). Introducing and passing the bill was the consecutive confirmation, in a long sequence of similar ones, that GERB and DPS are work closely together and form an unofficial coalition in Parliament. This was – and still is – the only explanation the amendment was introduced in the first place, especially given it was voted in a rush afterhours, with no real debate on the implications on the preference vote.
The amendments produced an enormous public backlash, which put GERB in an awkward position. At the end, GERB voted for the amendment for the second reading, which is the final vote. But GERB vowed to introduce a new amendment, immediately following enacting the last one. This second amendment will restore the regulations regarding the preference vote to their original state. GERB indeed introduced these amendments, which passed their first reading last week and their second – Wednesday.
Tsvetan Tsvetanov, which played the key role in putting forward and voting the first set of amendments, and who at the time was still a member of Parliament, was absent during the vote.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his country meddled in Bulgarian politics to push forward amendments to the Religions Act.
The amendments he is referring to initially would have pardoned 8 million leva in outstanding taxes and social security of the Grand Mufti. The proposal passed with the votes of GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) but was met with great public disproval. As a result, GERB, who introduced the bill, reformed a bit to allow for the Grand Mufti to negotiate ten-year term payment for the debts, which became the final text of the amendment.
"Bulgaria's draft for amendments to the Religious Act stood against all kinds of fundamental freedoms and violated basic rights. Turkey had to intervene and Bulgaria was forced to make changes", he said.
Bulgarian Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva called the Turkish ambassador over to explain his colleague's claims. In turn the Turkish foreign minister insisted on speaking with her, and reportedly said that the first draft targeted the Muslim community, which she declined.
The remarks by Cavusoglu sparked outrage across the political spectrum, from the far-right parties in the coalition partner, the United Patriots to the largest parliamentary opposition, the Bulgarian Socialist Party.

Trump won't say if he'll ask FBI to probe Khashoggi killing

Nearly one year has passed since the Oct. 2 killing of Khashoggi, whose body has still not been found, no one has been convicted and questions continue to linger over the crown prince's culpability. At the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, relatives of activists detained in Saudi Arabia, and Khashoggi's fiancée, wondered why those responsible haven't been punished. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali, File)
Posted: Jun 23, 2019 / 11:32 AM EST / Updated: Jun 23, 2019 / 11:33 AM EST
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump isn't saying whether he'll direct the FBI to investigate the death of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Trump did not answer directly when asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" whether he'll allow the FBI to examine the slaying of the Saudi Arabian journalist. In the interview taped last week and broadcast Sunday, Trump says Khashoggi's killing has been "heavily investigated."
Khashoggi was killed, and believed to have been dismembered, inside a Saudi consulate in Turkey by Saudi agents on Oct. 2. His remains have never been found.
Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey have investigated. Last week, an independent U.N. report found "credible evidence" to warrant further investigation into the possible role of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Khashoggi's writings criticized the Saudi royal family.
