I wanted to share this step by step journey that we just went through to acquire this 150 unit apartment in Orange Texas: and the lessons learned at each step 1) We had to loose quite a bit of deals. Found a deal in Lafayette. Lost it. Found a deal in Lake Charles. Lost it. Found a deal in Orange around 62 units. Lost it, but the broker liked us so he let us look at an off market deal down the road that was 150 units and in a better location.

Is it better to have the day off of work for Friday prayers or just some time off of work?
There's no Islamic requirement or even recommendation for the Friday to be taken as a day of rest. Inre the Friday prayers, the Qur'an states (emphasis mine): 9 O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

3 Frameworks to Design Effective and Engaging Learning
During World War II, the field of instructional design emerged out of necessity when soldiers needed extensive training on various tasks. What's Instructional Design? Instructional design is the practice of creating engaging learning experiences through which people can acquire and apply new skills. The field can be seen as a combination of other disciplines including behavioural science, military training practices, and education.
The Bubble Life: Pretty In Pink
Birthdays are the perfect reasons to pop open a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. So when it came time to celebrate a friend’s milestone birthday, I was determined to pick the perfect bottle of bubbly. With so many choices and varieties available, how do you know what to get if you want to make a lasting impression? The way I see it, there are two safe choices: going with something classic or going with something new. In this case, I opted to go for something new, which was Rosé Prosecco.

Taking (laughing)stock of the best of the Naramata Bench
The Naramata Bench, a plateau above Okanagan Lake, northeast of Penticton, emerged as a fruit growing area around 1900. The scenic Naramata Road through the bench, between Penticton and the little town of Naramata, passed a selection of my favourite vineyards. The Yukon Liquor Corp. (YLC) carries wines from a number of vineyards along ‘The Bench,’ including Red Rooster (Merlot $19.70), Joie Farm (Think Pink Rose, $25.45), and Poplar Grove (Pinot Gris VQA $22.45).
A wine tasting at the tower
Mission Hill Family Estate Winery is likely the most highly visited of any winery in the Okanogan. In normal times, the estate’s three-tiered parking lot would be jampacked with cars and the visitor traffic would be augmented by a continual flow of tour buses bringing further enthusiastic wine-tasters to the vineyard. I had previously visited the winery under those conditions, but touring during COVID was a dramatically different experience.
Pour one out during the pandemic
When we could still travel, a trip to wine country boosted spirits Almost a year into this pandemic, we’re all dreaming about travelling again. Last summer, during the B.C. bubble, my wife and I took a road trip to explore Okanagan vineyards. Normally, when we travel to B.C., we try out restaurants with exciting menus and wine lists. This trip was a very different experience, but revealed some surprising benefits to wine tasting during a pandemic.

Classic Hollywood: Remembering Gloria Grahame before 'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool'
For film noir buffs, Gloria Grahame was a goddess of the genre, starring in such films as Nicholas Ray’s 1950 “In a Lonely Place” and Fritz Lang’s 1953 “The Big Heat,” in which her face was on the losing end of a thrown pot of boiling water. She could make the most out of a small scene — winning the supporting actress Oscar for 1952’s “The Bad and the Beautiful” (she’s on screen for 9 minutes, 32 seconds).
In Search of Lost Time (Published 2017)
Dec. 22, 2017 Memoirists can struggle with the “why should anyone care?” question even in the dullest of times. But in a year when it seemed there was only enough bandwidth for the latest crisis out of Washington, publishing a book about the contents of one’s own memory probably felt like an especially daunting proposition. Nonetheless, 2017 had more than its share of fine memoirs. Here are five favorites that didn’t appear in my Egos column. MEAN by Myriam Gurba (Emily Books/Coffee House).

Greg McLean | THE BELKO EXPERIMENT
Greg McLean is not a director that likes to hold back. From his vicious feature debut Wolf Creek to his most recent film The Belko Experiment, the Aussie director’s films always pack a nasty punch. Or stabbing. Or shooting. Or most likely all of the above. The Belko Experiment is an adults-only version of The Hunger Games with a corporation full of workers trapped in a tower block and forced to kill each other, or risk being killed by explosive implants in their heads.
'Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool': The Journey From Page to Screen
It’s not necessarily a pleasant experience to have one’s book turned into a film and I don’t think it’s something an author can easily prepare for, as every individual experience must inevitably be very different depending on the key people involved – producer, screenwriter, director, star – and not to mention the hundreds of other film making specialists who will come to be involved as the project evolves.
Jeremy Saulnier | GREEN ROOM
STARBURST: How does it feel to have scared Patrick Stewart into turning all the lights on and setting the alarms on his house while reading your script? JEREMY SAULNIER: I love it. It’s pretty much my favourite story from the casting process on Green Room. Just knowing that from across the Atlantic, Patrick Stewart alone in his house was getting thoroughly creeped out by my material was so heart-warming. We read that he said it was around 35 pages into the script when he really got scared.
Callum Turner | GREEN ROOM
*Spoiler warning! This interview contains some minor spoilers for Green Room and the fate of a couple of characters* If you don’t know the name Callum Turner just yet, you will do soon. After starring alongside Patrick Stewart, the late Anton Yelchin, as well as Imogen Poots and Joe Cole in Green Room, he’ll next be seen in blockbuster videogame adaptation Assassin’s Creed going toe to toe with Michael Fassbender.
Indirect nitrous oxide emissions from streams within the US Corn Belt scale with stream order
Significance N2O emissions from riverine systems are poorly constrained, giving rise to highly uncertain indirect emission factors that are used in bottom-up inventories. Using a non–steady-state flow-through chamber system, N2O fluxes were measured across a stream order gradient within the US Corn Belt. The results show that N2O emissions scale with the Strahler stream order.
Why didn't the dwarf women have beards in The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey?
If they looked like women, human or otherwise, they weren't Dwarf women. From the movie; Gimli to Eowyn on the way to Helms Deep: Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf men. Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground! Which is, of course, ridiculous.
Secret origin of the dude = butthair meme
My daughter came back from Catechism today with an interesting spiritual fact. Apparently she was told that a dude is another name for butt hair. It's entry 17 or so on urban dictionary, dated 2006 and searching the internets I see some old stuff from the early aughts referencing a collective conscience that remembers being taught that a dude was an elephants butt hair, or an ingrown one at least.
Better term for clergyperson?
I'm creating a database that will include many types of people, and am faltering on the best way to classify "clergypeople". I'd prefer not to have separate entries for Deacon, Pastor, Priest, Preacher, Reverend, etc. "Clergyperson" or "Clergy" seems technically ok, but I'm wondering if there's a more mainstream word that's just not coming to mind.
Why did Thorongil warn Ecthelion against the White Wizard?
Not sure where this is in the annals, but it says in the Tolkien Companion by J.E.A. Tyler that: Saruman made his first deliberate move in this direction (toward imposing his will, which was forbidden of the Istari) in the year 2759 Third Age, when he appeared at the Coronation of King Frealaf of Rohan, successor of the mighty Helm Hammerhand.
