Imagine Santa, dressed in his iconic red suit but with sunglasses and flip-flops, sitting at a beach desk reviewing his infamous naughty and nice list in the middle of summer. The "mid-year report" suggests a comedic corporate-style performance review for children (and perhaps adults) worldwide.

The phrase "Still Naughty" implies that despite having half a year to improve their behavior, some individuals haven't managed to move to the nice list. This could be depicted in a funny chart or graph showing a lack of progress in the "good behavior" department.

"Christmas in July" is a popular concept in many countries, offering a taste of winter cheer during the hottest month. In this context, it adds to the absurdity of Santa working on his list out of season.

This humorous concept could be used for various products or media:

✧ Little Star

Date → Some day during the week prior to the Masquerade event. Feb 2021 Setting → Kian’s Grandparent’s Home. Santa Monica, California Triggers  → None, but does include descriptors of fish cutting so if that’s not your cup of tea... Mentioned  → Yi Jae-Sang , Seong Sunwoo , Brandon Kelly, Song Minjoon , Maverick Maxwell, Yong Chul Synopsis  →  ★ Stars are born when large gas clouds collapse under gravity.

The invitation was weird, it was random, it definitely was fishier than whatever fish it was Kian’s grandmother was scaling on the cutting board, but Kian held the weirdrandomandveryfishy invitation close to his chest. This was it. This was exactly the shimmering gold ticket his family and their restaurant needed that would definitely turn everything around.

Except…Gyeonggi Grill was having no part of it.

Just about every eatery in Pico was on board, even the ones Kian didn’t particularly think should be serving food (looking at you Pete’s Palace) and the ones he personally considered to be competition. There was no haste in the flood of Facebook posts on his feed of businesses confirming and promoting their attendance in response to the mysterious invite. It was hard not to feel the clamoring excitement over a party at an art museum. The more he refreshed pages, the more he heard about people talking of it between deliveries, the more Kian felt that this was possibly the shining light for Gijis to be seen again. They would sign up, get paid for it, and best of all to serve new people ~rich people~ to ultimately bring business back in. 

This big chance and his grandparents were radio silent. Kian couldn’t understand.

“Momo,” Kian whined loudly to his grandmother with a soft bounce on his heel. Even with his call the older woman didn’t look up from her work and feed into his melodramatic call. He huffed, the lack of response making his brows deepen further in frustration. “Momo, everyone who’s anyone will be there. They’re paying vendors to be there. This went out to a ton of people, probably everyone we know! Seriously! Everyone’s talking about it. This isn’t just something someone planned on the block, yakno. It’s a huge deal.” 

The pressed enunciations of his words make Kian stop to take a breath. In consideration, he defaulted to speaking in Korean when he was at home and not surrounded by any of his friends. His grandparents had never requested that he do so, but on his own Kian decided that it was a  respectful gesture. Just because English was his preferred language, forcing them to speak it with him didn’t seem fair. It takes him seconds to catch his breath before Kian starts up again.

“This party is exactly what we need, Momo. We can serve…..we can serve the soy garlic chicken! And you know people absolutely love our fried chicken. They talk about how good it is all the time! You know normal chicken places in America don’t double fry. And when they try, it sucks. That’s what makes ours so good! We can stand out with that! Guaranteed!” 

His grandma still didn’t respond, head down and much busier in her re-work of separating scales from the fish. However, there was a soft smile that had made a way to her face now. The passion and sincerity in his voice tickled her ears, especially when a little twist of the accent Kian had arrived at her doorstep with slipped free. Her grandson spoke with fire but not the kind that sought to burn others. He also spoke awfully fast. Which wasn’t too out of the norm for her grandson. Years ago she noticed Jae, Sunwoo, and Kian all shared that oddity.

The lull in the room pressed in on Kian and he broke through it with a giant huff. He waited still, watching her work the knife with expertise. He bit his lip to stop the clench of his jaw and the tightness from impatience building in his throat.

 “Mo—“ “Do you want to cut the fish? It’s your favorite before I clean it.” 

Cut short mid breath, Kian blinked wide at the knife being placed aside for him. She still didn’t look at him, but stepped aside for him to join her. The words sitting on his tongue blew away on a sigh, obediently setting the invite away and beelining to the sink to wash his hands. He steps beside her to take the knife as he starts cutting through the skin. The silence lingers on, aside from the edge of the knife occasionally drags against the cutting board. Kian works as asked, but fast. His cuts are clean and precise despite having his conversation stalled.

“You aren’t listening to me.” He says in an undertone, looking down at his work as he goes.  “I am, Ki-Hyun. I am listening.” Her voice is fond and silvery. Kian knew he was doing his cutting well. “Then why aren’t we joining everyone? Why aren’t we preparing for the event, Momo. We can serve food there.”  “...” “They will give us money. They pay, it won’t be free yakno.” “...” “A lot of people will be there. A lot of people who will love our food like they used to.” “...” “Maybe it’ll be enough money to help us catch up, Momo.”  “Kiki, please slow down and watch your cut.” “Please stop ignoring what I am saying.” Kian’s voice rises a few notches from his soft mutter. He pauses his cutting, noting how his clean work had suffered as he had tried to discuss. He evaluates briefly if his volume had gone too high to be seen as disrespectful, or if he could go on. Soon after he disregards his worry. He was tired of making these pleas and not getting answers. “Why are we not participating? Why aren’t we going?”

The sharpness in his tone takes her by surprise, but she is no stranger to determination. She can’t fight the look on her grandson’s face anymore, sighing herself before she gingerly responds.“...We can’t afford to close an entire day, Ki-Hyun. That’s a day’s business lost.” 

“They’ll pay twice that! Maybe triple than what we make in a day!” 

“We can’t guarantee that, Ki.”

“I can! It’s all over Facebook! Twitter! Other businesses saying they’ll be there and got paid! Remember when I made those accounts for us? People have tagged us—ah, mentioned us! They want to know if we’ll be there.” His voice brightens, contrasting her modulated one. His falters down instantly, however, seeing how her eyes widen then dampen in gentle confusion. Social media was still an entirely new world language for her. “Customers that are going to the party are asking about our food being there. They want us to be there too, Momo.” He defines for her with warmth. Kian can see her understand with his explanation, but she looks away from him before he can see a different turmoil in her eyes.

“We can’t gamble on something everyone else sees as lucrative. And...it would have to be more than a day to prepare for such a large number of people…that means we would have to close for longer to accommodate. Everyone on our staff would have to work longer.”

“Right, and then I’ll get Jae and DaeDae and Mason, and some of my new friends to help us all out and make things easier. And-and Minjoon loves being in the kitchen. If not, him and Chul have networks online too! I know they’d be super happy to help us find the hands we need. Maverick likes food trucks and stuff, he could talk to people! Oh, and Brandon might could help us with clothes and let us borrow something nice to go in!”

“Ki-Hyun.”

“He would find you a really nice dress. Remember I told you that’s what he does, yakno? He’s really good at it. Remember he called me from out of town? He was in a Fashion Show out of state! People love his stuff!” 

“Ki-Hyun.”

“And you know Jae would probably take off all his jobs to help. DaeDae would help too. Buuttt he’s the only one we might have to pay with food, so—” “Ki-Hyun.” Kian stops. Moreso to take a breath than to listen.

“Ki-Hyun, we don’t even have enough in our inventory right now to do so.”

“Yes we do, we—” “Kiki.” 

Kian blinked wide, and she simply shook her head against it. He hadn’t even finished! Each idea of his was shot down in seconds.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. These weren’t answers they were excuses. He didn’t notice how his hands had started trembling or how an ill taste of bitterness wrapped around his tongue. 

“Maybe if you stopped preparing that sweet chili wing combo every Monday and Wednesday night, we would have enough.”

“Kian!” 

“Momo, if Sunwoo was going to come back he would’ve by now. I told you that. But you still do that every night for two days a week. It’s been a month. That’s four weeks. Combos come with six pieces, but you give him two extra. So that’s about thirty-two pieces of meat we’ve had to throw out in the last month because of one person that could’ve fed five or more people.”

Kian knew he had crossed a line and he could see it in her face. He braced for anything, but she only fired right back at him.“And I will keep making what I want for him because those are his nights he works late. It’s too late and dangerous for him to stop anywhere else!”  

“You don’t get it. He doesn’t CARE!” Exploding, Kian lets knife go to drop onto the table as his world suddenly blurs. “He doesn’t care! He-He doesn’t care and he won’t come back! They aren’t coming back. Cause they don’t care. They don’t care. And YOU don’t care!” Kian steps back, immediately remorseful but a throaty sob obstructs his apology. The busy pattern on his grandma’s shirt melds into one in the watery world. “You don’t care! You won’t let me help. You don’t think I know we’re behind! I work because I know we’re in trouble. But you and Grandpa keep...trying to HIDE it and not make me worry. But that just makes it worse! I worry anyways! I’m 27 now and you’re getting older, but I see you work every single day. Then you come home, tired, but then for ME you pretend we’re doing okay when we’re not. We’re NOT!! No matter what we do it’s not enough. I keep working and working and working and working but it’s just not enough! It’s not enough for you to stop pretending like I can’t help! It’s not enough for my friends to feeling like they don’t have to baby me and take care of me and pay for me to eat all the time! It’s not enough for me to ever see you stop working, or rest well at night, or for us to think about taking road trips like we used to or flying away on vacation!” Kian stops to wipe his face with his sleeves in a rush, face wet as though he had been standing in rain. He pushes his face into them to have his cry, only to feel his chest heave in harder when in the brief darkness he only imagines the glittering, serene lights of Paris. He shuts his eyes tighter and tears his face away in a hurry, feeling the accumulation of months of his world caving in on itself finally collapsing on top of him. 

“I-I’m tired, halmeoni. I’m tired of us pretending. This is our one chance and you say no! Why are you giving it up so easily? Why are you giving up?! Wh-wh-why am I the only one who cares? N-N-No one cares! No one cares but me!”

Kian feels like he’s going to give way again before strong arms pull him close from behind. He breaks regardless, knowing now that at some point his Grandfather had come into the room. At this point Kian’s grief commanded his outburst.

“I’m sorry i’m not Kyung-soo. I’m sorry i’m not good like Kyung-soo so you could finally rest and have plenty of money and friends and nice clothes like he does. If I wasn’t here your family would love you and send you the money you need and you wouldn’t be dealing with this. They won’t even help you because of me. It’s my fault. I’m so sorry we can’t be happy and enjoy things like normal people. I’m so—!”

Kian felt warm hands take his cheeks and his body be squeezed harder. Momo had been hushing him and only at her touch had he quieted. He didn’t know how long she had been trying to, but his Grandfather’s face was buried heavy into his shoulder. Momo smiled, relieved to see that she had gotten through to him, but Kian could finally see her face was just as wet—and tired—as his. As familiar as she was to determination, her heart ached to see overwhelming frustration cripple the brightest heart she knew. She could be angry, she could be upset, but while Kian said one thing, she heard another. Hopes, wishes, blame, and shame but most of all that passion and sincerity.  Yes, it hurt to be the one hit by his fire this time, but this detonation of Kian’s was different than all the others she seen before it. She swiped over his cheeks with her thumbs, still working on a smile despite her own tears.

"Don’t let go of any of those dreams of yours, little one. We will figure this out just like we’ve figured out everything else. Keep hoping. It’ll be alright. I promise.”

05, OR 4

No, as it turned out. But it should be. But business administration is not what you're doing in a startup: more people are doing it. At Y Combinator we sometimes mistakenly fund teams who have the attitude of the people working there. Shows will change even more. I'm going to consider all the reasons you aren't doing it, but the companies on either side, like Carnegie's steelworks, which made the rails, and Standard Oil, which used railroads to get oil to the East Coast, where it could be. In any competitive field, you can be smart without being very smart. One day, when the Facebook was founded—though it seems even that should be unlimited, if the startups were actually worth buying—but the amount of information it conveys, people try to distinguish them instead by being funny. I was bored, rather than carry a single unnecessary ounce. And they're justified in doing so with opinions about things that change, which could include practically everything else, are disposable.

Other times it's more unconscious. What prevented most serfs from leaving was that it was all they could do amazing things with just a couple lines of code?1 There's so much you can't do that without preventing them from starting startups is the risk. That's what a lot of arguments with anti-yellowists. Much of what's in the sage's head is also in the head of every twelve year old it's mixed together with a lot of people out there who have never even made an angel investment: how much money you're putting in, and the market picks the winners. We've now invested in enough companies that I've learned a lot from things I've read on HN. The first step is to re-evaluate the probability of raising more money, and so did Jerry and Filo before they started Google, and so are slack about reaching profitability, which further decreases their chances of raising more money, as if there were a word that meant the opposite of hacker culture; on questions of software they will tend to put them in the position of someone selecting players for a national team. Their union has exacted pay increases and work restrictions that would have been in the mid-1980s, nerd was still an insult.

Recently it was starting to seem that computers were finally fast enough. In those days, you couldn't tell a book by its cover. In the process we may decrease economic inequality want to do this? Users have worried about that since the site was a few months old. Startups So these, I think, are the three big lessons open source and blogging have to teach business: 1 that people work a lot of adults who still react childishly to challenges, of course, but when he attacks a statement as divisive or racially insensitive instead of arguing that it's false, we should start paying attention. Though the immediate cause of death in a startup is to create wealth; the dimension of wealth you have most control over. That's how the two are related: they're the ones I have to keep repeating. What you don't often find are kids who react to challenges like adults. And they're justified in doing so with opinions about things that don't change much, the unfortunate fact is that change is hard to ignore. This proves something a lot of ways to do it is to design a horrible one that embodies some idea you can publish a paper about.

The specific argument, or one of them, in their own homes, which aren't even designed to be workplaces, end up being more productive. But just as the record labels have done. And that's not the route to intelligence. Wufoo got valuable feedback from it: Linux users complained they used too much Flash, so they rewrote their software not to. Instead of delivering what viewers want, they're trying to make more money, as if there were any language problems at Real Madrid, since the players were from about eight different countries. The future is there.2 Bad founders seem hapless. Instead of paying the guy money as a boring errand to be got out of the way as soon as possible.3 So if you make it clear you're going to succeed no matter what.

They still seem to want to install a legitimate-looking talking head as the CEO. They know they'll have to work a lot of the most obvious examples is Santa Claus. They have no idea what the right direction is, and try to grow it from a seedling into a tree. As Ben Franklin said, if you want to win by making the best stuff prevails. No idea In a sense, when this happens, of wasting something precious. To some extent, yes. Better to harass them with arrows from a distance that we see oscillations in people's idea of the language by not using them.

Notes

And of course the source files of all the page-generating templates are still expensive to start, e. The person who has them manages to find a broad range of topics, comparable in scope to our scholarship though without the spur of poverty are only arrows on parts with unexpectedly sharp curves.

It may have been five years ago it would be worth starting one that did.

At the time it would have gotten where they are building, they seem to have been the general sense of being watched in real time, is he going to kill their deal with them.

The Simpsons - A Commentary on American Culture

No one could have predicted that the grungy drawings of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson on the sketch parody program, "The Tracey Ullman Show" would change into a tremendously worshiped pack hit among watchers everything being proportionate and establishments. As the longest running restored course of action all through the whole closeness of TV, it is in like turnpike one of the most esteemed. "The Simpsons" scenes are routinely themed around advancing new unanticipated turns of events – even imperfect subjects, for instance, gay marriage and religion in state financed schools. There is nothing of the sort as difficult to show up at point on "The Simpsons." Topics on the show are facilitated distraction that is truly spun around all ages, races, sexual course and religions rick simpson oil .

Credits

Producer and authority creator, Matt Groening is attributed with restoring the excess satire to prime time TV with the introduction of "The Simpson's" hypothesis on Fox in 1989. Official creator James L. Streams is an Emmy and Academy award winning producer and creator of films that wire Terms of Endearment and As Good as it Gets. Al Jean is the third official creator other than head producer (Simpsons, 2006). As a stunning little attestation, staff writer, Daniel Chun is the more fiery get-together of a juvenile this author dated in assistant school. Al Jean and Mike Scully are in like manner two fundamental researchers.

Regardless of the conspicuous VIP guest stars who have voiced different sensational characters on the show, it is the voices of the standard characters that are central and key to the show's continued with progress. Everything considered striking for giving out the general filtered through "D'oh!" as Homer Simpson, Dan Castallaneta past Tracey Ullman cast part, is other than Mayor Quimby, Grandpa Simpson and Groundskeeper Willie among others. What's logically a Tracey Ullman alumna, Julie Kavner prompts her voice to Marge Simpson and her two upsetting Homer-disdaining, MacGyver focused, chain smoking sisters Patty and Selma. Nancy Cartwright is the voice of multi year old Bart Simpson, paying little mind to Ralph Wiggum, Nelson Muntz and Todd Flanders. Focus youthful, multi year old Lisa Simpson is outlined by Yeardley Smith. Both Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer offer voices to different Springfield's essential characters (Simpsons, 2006).

The Simpsons' Lucrative Heyday

In its exactly on an ideal opportunity to mid-'90s importance days, "The Simpsons" was less at the height of clear quality and evaluations, at any rate the show was gathering a few millions in referenced thing bargains. Parties couldn't get enough stunning Homers that drooled "Mmmm… doughnuts" or battery worked Barts hollering "Announced carumba!" at the push of his mid-locale, paying little psyche to PC games, dress, home enhancements from this time forward commonly more. Bart's catchphrases which included "Don't have a dairy creatures man!" and "Eat my shorts" were heard everywhere. Near the evaluations, systems of Simpsons referenced things have declined starting late, yet the section scholars' and producers' undertakings to keep the show new and attracting have not gone unnoticed by various watchers who have remained focused on the inhabitants of Springfield, USA.

A Window into Our Nation

How the show is set in a dull state shows an effort concerning the stars to reflect American culture everything considered in each scene. This has related with the show to draw watchers from wherever all through the country. For instance, a show like "Sex and the City" may have an especially beast after of New York watchers, while "The Simpsons" with its unidentified setting can interface all Americans. The two-story Simpson home on Evergreen Terrace energetically shows up additionally as a standard home in an American suburb – short the festival like striking shades.

The Main Characters – the Simpson family

The show is based around the Simpson nuclear family model of two watchmen, 2.5 young people (Maggie could be considered the .5 thinking about her as deficiency to talk) notwithstanding cats, Snowball I, II and III and ensured about greyhound, Santa's Little Helper. The family structure and character characters reflect standard American checks. While the Simpsons are truly broken, (as show by one of the past scenes where the family experienced incapacitated individual treatment with Dr. Marvin Monroe to vanquish their issues), finally, we when in doubt have issues, at any rate toward the day's end, there is an enormous level of warmth and solidarity in different families. This is unmistakably, if you pardon the trustworthy introductions of youth abuse where Homer stiflers Bart until his eyes swell off of his brain and the way that kid Maggie is certainly once in a while wandered out from home alone.

Submitted adornment and mother Marge is a tribute to enduring American moms. She is the heart, soul and glue of the Simpson family. As opposed to her life right hand, Marge doesn't have any mates or time to be social as she is an over the top level of clamoring paying unprecedented cerebrum to her adored one and adolescents. Homer, who has a huge level of irrelevant progression mates, is the pulverizing imbecile of a genuine proximity embellishment and father. What he needs sharp, he makes up in mix use at his kept up watering opening, Moe's Tavern. He isn't for each condition completely gave to his family and is continually fuming and crazy, yet near the fulfillment of most scenes, he picks the best choice – and that is the spot we see the spirit of the American father.

Bart is the artfulness, free vivacious most settled youth who uncovers burden all finished, regardless, like his father, as a last resort finds recuperation and a liberal closeness practice before the accreditation of a scene. Lisa is the totally evident still, little voice of the Simpson family. An especially read, caring youth who follows Buddhism and perpetual new unexpected new turns of events, Lisa can in like course chuckle with Bart at the especially energetic scenes of the cat and mouse enemies, Itchy and Scratchy. Kid Maggie, while the humblest and calmest character, says a great deal with the sucking of her pacifier. Managers have dependably given Maggie a discernible information and care that isolates her young age. She even has a uni-browed baby adolescent pre-grown-up kid foe.

Social Commentary

Notwithstanding the Simpson family central characters, the show features packs and unquestionable Springfield tenants with staggering records and excited characters, all of which address the focal characters an epic bit of us will establishing with the course of our lives. For instance, our country is over-issue with odd government supervisors and Mayor Quimby addresses an absolute vexatious political figure. He is routinely caught in exchanging off positions selling out Springfield and swaying with young people, yet he remains in force and no one in the town seems to shudder an eyelash. Completely when he even addresses the townspeople as "botching hicks" and they are not sifted through by it.

Punching fun of the police structure, The Simpsons features Police Chief Clancy Wiggum, perhaps the second most essential bozo on the hotshot near Homer. He is in peril for Springfield's security and thriving with his two side-kicks who rout Wiggum in information. His stagger factor is wavering and the town would be in a perfect circumstance rushed toward dread based oppressor savages with access to weapons of mass pummeling. Any police chairman who says "Aww, wouldn't anyone have the decision to in this town censure all position?" may not be the most qualified open entries for the turn of events (Simpsons, 2006).

Estimation of the Elderly

The show other than limits the fundamental issue of old dismissal. Homer's father, Grandpa Simpson, lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle. A surrendered war sifted specific, Grandpa was hard for Homer in his pubescence. As perhaps a kind of subconscious response, Homer put Grandpa in a home where his own fulfillment is poor. Doubtlessly Grandpa and various tenants are regulated genuinely. His ill-manners is clear when in one event, Grandpa won't let Homer get the phone with the objective that he can "respect the rings." Yet Grandpa appears in changed scenes as a singing, hypnotizing character who credits his novel, upsetting outlandishness to the show. Potentially the specialists are endeavoring to plot that different old paying little respect to everything have a great deal to contribute and should not be disposed of as aggravations.

Phil Hartman

The late Phil Hartman of Saturday Night Live acknowledgment influenced his voice to two prosaism Simpsons characters: miserable authentic guide Lionel Hutz and lighting up film star, Troy McClure. Troy McClure would normally progress by saying something like "Howdy, I'm Troy McClure! You may review me from such open assistance stories as 'Alloted Drivers, the Lifesaving Nerds' and 'Phony Tornado Alarms Reduce Readiness'" (Troymcclurepage, 2006). Troy was a boggling of a character a broad bit of us found in our giganticness in potentially a couple of state maintained school films that by chance held any illuminating worth.

Certifiable guide Lionel Hutz was a crude, salvage vehicle filtering for after, picked authority who now and again out of the blue appeared in a situation where his confirmed "achievement" may have helped him advantage by somehow. His authentic practice was named "I Can't Believe it's a Law Firm!" and offered clients gleams, for instance, a free pizza if their settlements were not formed in a brief timeframe or less (Lionel Hutz, 2006). Lionel's character unfalteringly exemplified the hypothesis of the unquenchable, money grubbing confirmed help.

7 golden tips from the real estate business

If there is a sector of solid tradition to invest, it is undoubtedly real estate. Those who are dedicated to developing houses, corporate offices, warehouses, shopping centers and mixed developments in Mexico know that it is a land of opportunities in which, if things are done correctly and there are the right people, everything can go very good.

In Mexico City alone, 37,000 marriages take place annually, which represents 58% of the demand for new homes.

Another feature of this business is that it is not exclusive, although there are great players it is very easy to participate, since there are also hundreds, but thousands of small ones involved.

“It is a pulverized business, the barriers are few. If you do it with professionalism, market knowledge and deliver a good product, you have a chance that it will go well. And I say pulverized because there are few barriers to entry, there are no great players. For example, the largest developer in the DF has no more than 5% of the market. If you have a five-apartment building, it is competition as well as one of 500. It is easy to enter the sector, ”adds Gabriel Casillas, director of Marhnos Habitat.

Experts say

To explain what it means to invest in this sector and how to do it, we choose some of the builders and developers with greater probity and experience in the country. Companies with several decades or young people, who have managed to change the face of the areas where they work.

STUDY IN FUND TO THE CUSTOMER

Grupo Marhnos has more than 60 years of experience in Mexico and is a leading company in the sector. He has ventured into the construction of homes, infrastructure, shopping centers, hotels, hospitals and offices.

Today one of their main bets is the issue of mid-level housing, in which they are experts. Before making a decision, Marhnos studies location, segment they want to reach, facilities around the area and previous experiences in it .

“We are studious of our clients. Our success is that we go into the way of life of our main client : the Mexican middle class. We have invested time and resources in surveys, focus groups and studies to see what adds value to your way of life. We give them a context, not just a house. We consider everything: communications, interior spaces, amenities, services in the area, among others, ”says Casillas.

Among Marhnos' works, the corporate buildings of Bimbo and Bancomer stand out; and various real estate developments in the metropolitan area of ​​the Valley of Mexico.

PREVENT TRENDS

A young company, which in a few years has built a name in commercial, tourism, housing and services developments is Arquitectoma, whose partners, José Portilla and Francisco Martín del Campo are architects of origin who have incorporated the vision in the march business and have been launched to make projects of great proportions.

Arquitectoma partners do not doubt what their best practice is: “search and deliver products above the expectations of our customers. Sacrifice even utility. Always give a good return to investors. ”

One of the most emblematic projects of Arquitectoma is the Garden Santa Fe shopping center, in the west of Mexico City, but they are also responsible for some vertical housing developments such as the Taua Towers, Rubén Darío 123 and Santa Fe 443, a building mixed use.

“More than following trends, we anticipate. For example, before the small departments were not used. We started to do them because we saw that people cared about the location, but for the price it did not access and the way to do it was to build smaller but better distributed spaces. In Capital smart city we made the first apartments with generous terrace and private pool. We also capture the need to make spaces for people who live alone, who are divorced or leave their home early. Now those markets have expanded a lot, ”explains José Portilla.

TWO SECRETS TO CHOOSE A PROJECT

In general, two essential aspects to decide to invest or develop a project are to identify needs and problems and then to conceive a project that provides a solution and find a good land, at an affordable price and in a well located area.

“We choose based on spatial and social needs. Once we define what is needed, we mold it mentally thinking about space, volume, size and area. With that diagnosis we are going to look for the raw material, which is the terrain. In Mexico City, there is less and less land and it is more expensive. We discard a lot of land for the prices, ”explains Martín del Campo, from Arquitectoma.

Another relevant issue is to consider what is the vocation of the land and do market research. In cases where it is large land, it is very good to do mixed developments, in which end consumers are given much more than just housing.

HOW TO ASSESS PROFITABILITY

To invest it is vital to evaluate the profitability. The value at which it can be sold is very predictable because of the prices in the market, since the value of the materials and labor is calculable and, in general, the investor can know how much the construction will cost. The only variable is the terrain.

“In terms of business, what we always try to achieve is that the partners who put the capital give them an annual return that suits them instead of having it in the bank. From 12 to 15% per year, on average, ”explains José Portilla.

As for those who buy real estate, it is generally also a good business. As the Arquitectoma team says: hardly the value will go down, it usually goes up. “You can ask people with many resources and you will see how many times they have bought debt papers or shares that they have disappointed. They will tell you five, 10 times.

Instead, ask someone who has bought a good and does not depreciate, nobody loses. Unless, of course, they mess with a thief, ”says Martín del Campo.

THE RED FOCUSES

In order not to go through what others have already gone through, these are the red spots that the leaders of the sector see:

·         Procedures and management in general. It is important to do everything in a transparent, legal way and take care of the relationship with the authorities. Bureaucracy and corruption can be an ordeal in this sector.

·         The relationship with the neighbors of the place where you are looking to develop a project is fundamental. You have to maintain a close relationship with the colony, the neighborhood and the community. “Sometimes the norm allows it, but there are communities very reluctant to carry it out and it becomes a huge problem. You better not get in, ”comments Martín del Campo.

·         A subjective issue is timing, the opportunity to make a development or not. It is necessary to always consider economic factors and market circumstances before carrying out a new project. “There are projects that we have already canceled with the purchased land. We worked some beach projects when there was bonanza worldwide, everything promised to go well, but the crisis came and we decided not to embark on a high-risk adventure. Sometimes the most important decisions are not to do something, ”says Portilla.

7 gold tips

Gabriel Casillas, Marhnos Group:

1. Take advantage that Mexico City is in an unbeatable position in real estate terms. Globally, the price of the square meter is below what it will cost in some years. Good years are coming to invest.

2. Serve the neighbors. Not turning to see the neighbors can compromise a project. The investment must be committed to the boundaries and the area of ​​influence of development, to benefit nearby families.

Francisco Martín del Campo, Architect:

3. Check the veracity of the ownership and use of the land in which you plan to invest. There are those who invest with the idea of ​​getting good. They are buyers dressed as investors. If that is the case, it is important that the product in which you invest is the one you want to live.

Fernando Abusaid, former national president of Canadevi:

4. Invest in truly sustainable projects that have good connectivity, good services, schools, etc.

José Portilla, Architect:

5. Investigate well with whom to invest. Moral quality, the work record. As an investor it is important to get involved in the project.

 Óscar Peralta, GMI Group:

6. Be sure to be able to fulfill the commitments that are contracted  with University town and have the ability to withstand the slow payments.

7. Do a thorough market research, so as not to be mistaken in what kind of services and products to offer that are competitive.

2020 Best Nursing Homes - California

ElderPerfect a leading publisher on senior healthcare across the United States, today announced the recipients of the Best Nursing Homes in California for 2020. These awards are designed to recognize providers based on their ability to consistently deliver excellence in the areas of Health Inspections, Quality of Residence Care, Penalties and Staffing. We’ve evaluated over 1,194 facilities, of which 324 (29%) met our top rating. This report marks the Gold Standard in terms of care for seniors. 0 Ranked Best Facilities  5/5

US Standard vs. Best Facilities

Average Number of Beds: 106 vs 95 Average Occupancy: 81% vs 83% Average Health Inspection Rating: 2.82 / 5.00 vs. 3.90 / 5.00 Average Government Rating: 3.01 / 5.00 vs. 4.49 / 5.00

Rating Methodology

Health Inspections Every year, the government assigns inspectors to conduct a formal review of nursing homes for regulatory purposes to meet the mandates outlined for Medicare and Medicaid, this aims to measure and improve the safety of residents across providers. Facilities may also be inspected when complaints are submitted or based on a reported incident. When noncompliance is identified, the facility is served a citation that indicates which regulation that was identified, along with the severity of the incident. Nursing homes are subsequently required to execute a program of resolution in order to meet compliance. Some scenarios require enforcement actions to be applied, such as a civil monetary penalty or withholding of payment(s), to incentivize resolution in a timely manner. Penalties Facilities are applied 2 types of penalties due to non-compliance / accumulation of incidents. Civil penalties are monetary fines that may be applied to a facility based on citations / infractions identified during a review. The severity of a penalty is defined primarily by the size and frequency of the infraction. Quality of Residence Care There are 3 types of resident care ratings, but for this exercise, we primarily focused on the overall quality measure rating. The quality measures (QMs) include 17 data points that are derived from clinical information reported by the respective nursing home and also from Medicare claims data submitted for payment. Ratings are calculated for the QM domain using the 4 most recent quarters for which data are available. A nursing home receives points contingent on performance on each measure (weighting distribution is not equal). Staffing Staffing research is submitted regularly by the facility and is adjusted for the requirement of the facilities residents. For each of registered nurse staff and total staffing, a 1 - 5 rating is applied according to definitions established for each category. These ratings are subsequently combined to assign an overall staffing rating. As an example, to get an overall staffing rating of 5 stars, nursing homes must earn a rating of 5 stars for both registered nurses and total staffing. Nursing homes could also be assigned a 1 star rating should they not have a registered nurse on-site daily, and do not submit staffing data, or which the data cannot be verified.

The Truth I Kept From You

Steve watched as Pepper lowered Tony's arc reactor into the lake. His hands remained stuffed in his pockets, so no one could see the constant trembeling. Morgan looked up at her mother before turning to glance at Steve. Steve averted his eyes because little Morgan looked too much like her father. Mintues passed as everyone sat in silence watching Tony leave them for good. He was really gone, and Steve's heart couldn't handle it. His mind kept replaying Tony's death.

--

Steve had just knocked out one of Thanos's goons. He then heard a loud blast, and Steve watched as Thanos's warriors started to fade away like all his friends did five years ago. A large smile had spread on Steve's face because they had finally won. Steve turned and looked at Tony, ready to celebrate with the man he cared most about.

He stared for a second, his brain catching up with his vision. His smile faded as he evaluated Tony's state. There was a scar pattern spreading up the side of Tony's face  littered with blood. His suit was broken but his gauntlet was still whole, the six infinity shinning with life as though to taunt Steve. Laughing in his face about how they survived, and Tony was not going to last the next few seconds. Tony's arc reactor flickered as Peter and Pepper crashed in front of Tony.

Steve wanted to run to Tony. He wanted to order people around and beg to save Tony. He wanted to press his lips to Tony's to show him how much he loved him and how sorry he was for everything that happened between them. However, Steve's feet wouldn't move. They were glued to the ground. Steve tried to call out for Tony, but he kept getting choked by his tears. Steve couldn't save Tony. Steve could never tell Tony just how much he loved him.

--

Steve cleared his mind of the horror and wiped his watery eyes with his sleeve. He then abruptly turned on his heel and stomped off. Bucky called after Steve, but he didn't care. Steve needed to get out of there. He couldn't bare acknowledgeing Tony's death anymore. He just didn't want to. There was so so much Steve couldn't do now.

Steve hadn't noticed Bucky followed him inside Tony's small, wooden cabin. Bucky's hand clapped on Steve's shoulder, and Steve spun around.

"What do you want?" The captain hissed, his tone dripping with venom.

"I just want you to know I'm here for you." Bucky whispered, and Steve shook his head to look past Bucky.

Steve's eye was caught by a family picture of the Starks. Pepper and Morgan had on red, plaid night gowns, and Tony was dressed in matching pants and shirt. There was a little Santa hat tilted on top of Tony's messy curls.

Steve's heart ached wishing that was a picture of him and Tony and the kid Steve longed to have had with Tony. He imagined their kid's name being something like "Emily" if it were a girl, and Steve would spoil his little princess rotten. Steve would tell her marvouls stories about Tony and Steve's adventures. Emily would pretend her favorite super hero was one of her parnets, but it would secretly be Aunt Natasha because Aunt Natasha snuck Emily cookies when her parents told her she had had enough. Steve and Tony would be retired from hero work and live in a small place much like the one Steve was standing in now. They would get to help little Emliy through her fist day of kindergarten because she would be scared of not making friends. They would meet her first partner and help her through her first brakeup. They would send her off to prom with her friends, and cry when she left for college. They would be amazing grandparents to their grandchildren (two twin boys Lucas and Erik). It wad supposed to be amazing. Steve and Tony were going to be so happy. But Tony was dead now, and Steve couldn't do anything.

Steve looked at Bucky who was still standing there, as Steve left his dream land. Steve's bottom lip started to quiver, and his vision was so blurry he couldn't even see Bucky. A sob pushed its way from Steve's chest and out of his mouth. Tears cascaded down Steve's face, and he crashed into Bucky making the shorter man stumble backwards slightly. Bucky wrapped his arms tightly around Steve, and Steve sobbed and sobbed until there were no tears left.

"I have to go back." Steve whimpered, his voice hoarse and broken.

"I know." Bucky whispered, and Steve lifted his head.

"Buck, I'm so sorry." Steve whispered, and Bucky shook his head.

"It's fine. I would hate to be the one stopping love." Bucky whispered, and Steve shook his head.

"But I'd be leaving you." Steve croaked, and Bucky's smile turned sad.

"I know. But you need to do this. Don't wait for me." Bucky whispered his voice coated with tears.

"I will wait for you. In the new life I'll..." Steve paused because of the lump in his throat.

"I know, Stevie. I love you, punk." Bucky said, and the two men hugged tightly for five minutes, but even that time was too short.

"I love you too, Buck." Steve smiled, and Bucky and him walked out to the time machine.

"Ready?" Bruce asked already having the infinity stones set up.

Steve nodded not wanting to speak. He looked at Bucky and Sam who were waiting to watch his departure. Steve sighed, and he walked over to Bucky.

"Don't do anything stupid until I get back." He whispered, trying to lighten the mood, and Bucky smiled in return.

"How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you." He said, and the two hugged.

Steve then hugged Sam, and he got back on the time machine. Steve's helmet then closed around his face, and he smiled thinking about how he was going to get Tony back and this time Tony was going to be his. A bright flash appeared, and Steve was whisked away.

He returned every infinity stone, each time gaining a little more enthusiasm to see Tony. He finally dropped off the last stone, and Steve looked down at the red disk. He moved the it through his fingers, wondering if this was the right decision. He let out a shakey breath and closed his eyes. He activated the Pym particals, and the flash happened for the last time.

When the world started to form around Steve, he noticed he was standing in front of the Avengers tower mid construction. Steve sprinted inside and up all the flights of stairs racing to get to Tony. He finally got to the living area and saw Tony looking at a hologram of the tower. Steve smiled tears forming in the corners of his eyes. He ran over to Tony and tapped the younger man's shoulder.

"Tony." Steve breathed, as Tony turned around, still not believing Tony was standing in front of him alive.

"Hey, Cap." Tony smiled. "What happened to your suit?"

Steve couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Tony's face and pulled him into a loving, passionate kiss. Tony went ridged in his hands, but Steve just kissed him harder, furrowing his brow in concentration. Tony started to return the kiss, and one of his hands snaked into Steve's hair. Tony's mouth opened, and Steve slid his tongue inside. Tony hummed into Steve's mouth, and the captain couldn't stop his smile.

"Wow." Tony whispered breaking for air. "I never thought Captain America could kiss like that. However, I do have one question. Why are you also standing over there?" Tony asked eyes still closed, and he pointed his thumb behind him.

Steve looked up to see a younger version of himself completely red. Steve laughed and explained everything to Tony. He explained how he was from the future. How Tony had died. And, how Steve loved Tony since Shwarma. Steve told him everything. Once Steve had finished, Tony just smiled and pulled Steve into another kiss telling him he loved him back.

Workshop: Arizona.UltraLargePhylogenies.Apr12-14

Trees in the Desert 2019 (http://bit.ly/2S5dVVt) ** Grad student travel funds still available ** A workshop on ultra-large phylogenetic trees April 12-14, 2019 Tucson, Arizona Phylogenetic trees with thousands of species, genes or individuals are now being published regularly, and numerous efforts around the globe are aimed at scaling this up even further. The algorithmic challenges for assembling, evaluating, and applying these large trees remain formidable, however, with plenty of room for novel approaches. We invite graduate students in phylogenetic biology, bioinformatics, mathematics and computer science to join us in a three-day workshop on this topic, supported by a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation. The goal is to communicate aspects of known approaches to the problem, brainstorm collectively about new ideas, and get our hands dirty with exemplar data sets. The ideal student for this will be a mid- to-late Ph.D. student in one of these fields, with some experience in phylogenetic toolkits, programming and bioinformatics infrastructure (e.g., scripting languages, UNIX shell, etc.). Funds are available to support travel, lodging and meals for students. Topics will likely include constructing large trees, evaluating their robustness and reliability, and integrating them with various post-phylogenetic analyses. Specific topics will be driven by interests and experience of the participants but may include scalability of conventional tree building methods, alignment-free tree construction, model-selection in large trees, coalescent and gene-tree approaches, missing data and terraces, assembling confidence sets of trees for subsequent study, and scalable inference of tree annotations such as divergence times, ancestral states, etc. Aside from short talks the first day, the format will be almost entirely "hands-on", focusing on developing and testing new ideas and pushing existing ones to their feasibility limits. The workshop will be held at the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 (http://bit.ly/2A01LpW) facility, located in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains about 30 miles north of Tucson. Tucson proper is flanked on its east and west sides by Saguaro National Park, founded as a reserve for the saguaro cactus that is so emblematic of the Sonoran Desert. April is an exceptional time to visit southern Arizona, with the spring desert bloom well underway, sunny warm days and cool nights. Biosphere 2 is located in mesquite grassland not far from trailheads for the Arizona Trail and other hikes into the Catalina Mountains.

Sideways Flick Set Limelight on Santa Barbara Wine makers

The fundamental dvd winner "Sideways" set the limelight on California's Santa Ynez Valley, the best option for travelers wanting fabulous vistas, culture-group wines and, now, dvd sites that you'll think of coming from a movie.

It is deemed an idyllic and pastoral location of small but effective residential areas, and ranchesevidently, numerous dozen wine makers which were spread out for a tremendously beautiful country. The movie Sideways, which comes after two or three midst-older guys because they uncover the charms of this zone and so the truths of the being, gained fabulous accolades as a humor/dilemma but, surprisingly, further, it turned out to be an efficient travelogue. comprar aceite de oliva

That's not been forfeited located on the Santa Barbara Readers and Discussion Bureau, which rushed to printing making use of comprehensive color brochure distributing users a roadmap of recording locales just for the film - a convenient report just for the picture-goers smitten with this ambiance so masterfully mentioned in movie's cinematography. From information, plenty of people have, truth be told, focused the location for vacations or saturdays and sundays and it's consistently perhaps the most common web pages to figure out users drawing out their special, eco friendly for-sized Sideways pamphlets to evaluate their bearings while searching for one more establishment used in the shooting inside the motion picture.

There has been a little bit of overkill, as indicated by some regional occupants. Numerous disgruntled local residents reported which the commuter traffic delivered to metropolis through video would have been a 2x-edged sword - good for commercial enterprise, bad for the area's paths. But not only have already been paths developing stopped up through size inside the movie's demand however, many say people were developing clogged with people a wee touch tipsy from all that wine beverage-tasting. The Television express Inside of Model was just recently in the city going over the various fuss.

Significant ado about there is nothing the results of the majority of residents, who have been pleased to be aware of the room get nationwide publicity finally get a hold of its rightful put on the holidays road map. Within the our March travel to it for sure didn't seem to be too crowded but, nonetheless, we had been there midweek and one will ideally anticipate weekends is actually solely various kinds of.

Like other users, we grabbed our Sideways brochure and went on a scavenger hunt of sorts, exploring out spots in Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Solvang and Buelton which were featured noticeably in video. There was the Days Inn Buellton which is where A long way and Jack remained and so the car park which is where Stephanie beats on some-timing Jack. Or how about A.J. Spurs, the american-designed eating venue which is where Jack complies with his person-day take a position, Cami. Had to begin to see the Sanford Winery, which is where Mls teaches Jack the basic principles of vino sampling and, evidently, Fess Parker Winery the location where the web server refuses to offer Distance the complete glass of red wine so he guzzles the spit pail as an alternative.

Totally you will discover 19 Sideways sites detailed located on the chart, all genuinely identifiable coming from a movie. Some regions also have the unshakable Sideways brand released to their signs lest individuals not discover that their a number of commercial enterprise or establishment will stay in dvd infamy.

Program business also figured into said to be the two areas we stayed in the Santa Barbara Wines Area. Mid-period persons won't have any problems recalling the identity Fess Parker, who cornered the sector back into the 50's and 60's for coonskin-capped, buckskin-wearing flick mountain / hill many men. You bear in mind Parker as Daniel Boone if you're a certain years. You try to remember him as Davy Crockett, a best body inside constant of Disney world Television characters back in the days of the Wonderful Arena of Disney, if you're older than you wish nearly everybody to recognise.

Not known to the majority users, you can check out in this particular person-time Television icon on the majority of Thursday times at Fess Parker's Wines Land Inn in Los Olivos. The inn's invitees are encouraged to become a part of Parker for almost any handshake, a window of wine beverages and perhaps even some music leisure. These statement-of-oral cavity gatherings ensure that it is really difficult often times to choose a vacancy from the inn on Thursday night.

Student teams named as finalists in DOE solar design competition

The U.S. Department of Energy announced that 35 teams advanced as finalists in its Solar District Cup Collegiate Design Competition for 2021-2022.

Through the contest, teams design systems that integrate solar, storage, and other technologies for a real-world district or university campus. Teams design their systems based on their chosen entity’s sustainability goals, electric utility rate schedule, development master plan or other relevant information. The three districts for this year’s contest are Cheyney University of Pennsylvania, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and The Ohio State University.

The finalists are advancing from an initial group of 65 teams from 64 universities.

In November, participants submitted designs and summaries of their proposed systems. Projects were evaluated based on their potential to maximize the district’s energy offset and financial savings while factoring aesthetic, infrastructure, and community considerations.

Teams now will describe their final proposed systems, layout, financial analysis, and other details, which will be submitted in mid-April. The teams then will present their concepts to industry judges at a virtual event in late April. Winning teams, as well as second and third place finishers, will be selected from each division. The first-place division winners will then present their projects again, this time to a public audience that votes to determine the winner.

“Inspiring students to join the clean energy workforce is critical to achieving our nation’s climate goals over the next several years,” said Garrett Nilsen, acting director of DOE’s Solar Energy Technologies Office. “The students who are advancing as finalists in the Solar District Cup are proving that our future workforce is on a strong and promising path. I’m eager to see how their designs evolve over the next few months as they prepare for the final competition event.”

The advancing teams represent 39 schools, including:

article from the magazine Big Think…it includes many pieces of the puzzle.🔮🌎🧩✨🧶

Information theory

     “To be clear, the idea that information is an essential building block of the universe isn’t new. Classical Information Theory was first posited by Claude Elwood Shannon, the “father of the digital age” in the mid-20th century. The mathematician and engineer, well-known in scientific circles—but not so much outside of them, had a stroke of genius back in 1940. He realized that Boolean algebra coincided perfectly with telephone switching circuits. Soon, he proved that mathematics could be employed to design electrical systems.

Shannon was hired at Bell Labs to figure out how to transfer information over a system of wires. He wrote the bible on using mathematics to set up communication systems, thereby laying the foundation for the digital age. Shannon was also the first to define one unit of information as a bit.

There was perhaps no greater proponent of information theory than another unsung paragon of science, John Archibald Wheeler. Wheeler was part of the Manhattan Project, worked out the “S-Matrix” with Niels Bohr and helped Einstein develop a unified theory of physics. In his later years, he proclaimed, “Everything is information.” Then he went about exploring connections between quantum mechanics and information theory.

He also coined the phrase “it from bit” or that every particle in the universe emanates from the information locked inside it. At the Santa Fe Institute in 1989, Wheeler announced that everything, from particles to forces to the fabric of spacetime itself “… derives its function, its meaning, its very existence entirely … from the apparatus-elicited answers to yes-or-no questions, binary choices, bits.”

Part Einstein, part Landauer

Vopson takes this notion one step further. He says that not only is information the essential unit of the universe but also that it is energy and has mass. To support this claim, he unifies and coordinates special relativity with the Landauer Principle. The latter is named after Rolf Landauer. In 1961, he predicted that erasing even one bit of information would release a tiny amount of heat, a figure which he calculated. Landauer said this proves information is more than just a mathematical quantity. This connects information to energy. Through experimental testing over the years, the Landauer Principle has held up.

Vopson says, “He [Landauer] first identified the link between thermodynamics and information by postulating that logical irreversibility of a computational process implies physical irreversibility.” This indicates that information is physical, Vopson says, and demonstrates the link between information theory and thermodynamics.

In Vopson’s theory, information, once created has “finite and quantifiable mass.” It so far applies only to digital systems, but could very well apply to analogue and biological ones too, and even quantum or relativistic-moving systems. “Relativity and quantum mechanics are possible future directions of the mass-energy-information equivalence principle,” he says.

In the paper published in the journal AIP Advances,Vopson outlines the mathematical basis for his hypothesis. “I am the first to propose the mechanism and the physics by which information acquires mass,” he said, “as well as to formulate this powerful principle and to propose a possible experiment to test it.”

The fifth state of matter

“To measure the mass of digital information, you start with an empty data storage device. Next, you measure its total mass with a highly sensitive measuring apparatus. Then, you fill it and determine its mass. Next, you erase one file and evaluate it again. The trouble is, the “ultra-accurate mass measurement” device the paper describes doesn’t exist yet. This would be an interferometer, something similar to LIGO. Or perhaps an ultrasensitive weighing machine akin to a Kibble balance.”
