US Politics Issue Post: DC Statehood (Written May 4th 2021)

The issue: The residents of DC (about 700k) do not have proper representation at the federal government level. They have no representative in either congress or the senate This is especially harmful because their city is basically controlled by the federal government (specifically congress) in all respects and congress basically does not care. The result of this has been one of the most poorly managed areas of the country and basically the residents of DC getting the shit end of the stick at all times.

It should be noted that this is a race issue as much as anything else. DC is primarily non white and the rights of DC citizens are being gutted by a primarily white federal government.

What DC statehood means: DC becomes a one city state. They get two senators and a number of congress reps. They get all the infrastructure of a state and a city to govern themselves. This would provide the city with proper representation and management.

It would also undeniably give a significant political power boost to the democrats, especially in the senate with 2 virtually guaranteed seats for the foreseeable future.

This would create a constitutional anomaly that will need to be fixed. As far as I can tell this is basically inconsequential and easily rectified because literally no one will want it to remain in place.

Purposed alternatives: All alternatives basically boil down to DC being absorbed into one or more surrounding states, becoming more or less a normal city in the USA. Republicans seem to be converging on making it a part of Maryland in order to dilute the DC populations political power as much as possible.

My position

I support statehood. DC is a unique city with way too many DC specific issues that would be glossed over if absorbed into another state. The proposals that it be cut up among multiple states are especially ridiculous and would basically ensure that DC residents are never able to move as a single people to address their unique issues.

From a pure ethical standpoint the fact that DC does not have proper representation is inexcusable. It is both incredibly racist and authoritarian how the DC population is currently governed. It is of the utmost ethical importance that this be rectified as soon as possible.

Also I want the democrats to have more power, plain and simple. The republicans have been throwing out all the rules in blatant power grabs for the last ten years. It is not so much that I want democrats to have power as I want something to counteract the actions of the out of control republican party.

This is a keystone issue. If we can pass DC statehood literally all progressive positions will become significantly easier to enact for all of the future of our country. As such, it is of the utmost importance on a strategic level for anyone who cares to improve our country.

Where we are at

A bill has passed in Congress. As long as the senate filibuster remains in place this issue is dead in the water. No progress will be made either way.

Major Players

Biden & Harris: Support statehood and are actively pushing for the bill to pass.

Republicans: Universally opposed for political power reasons.

Joe Manchin (Senator of West Virginia): Opposes eliminating the filibuster, opposes statehood via bill and insists on a constitutional amendment, which would be a first time this was ever required for the creation of a state.

I’m not going to be shy about this, Manchin is a piece of shit spineless centrist and holds more blame for lack of progress than basically any other one person in the country (at the moment). As long as this asshole remains the republican appeasing piece of trash that he is no major progress will be made on DC representation (along with a long list of other progressive items).

He also opposes statehood because he enjoys an immense amount of personal power as a swing senator in a 50-50 locked government.

What we can do

Support elimination of the filibuster: This is a must pass issue if we are going to get anything large scale done. What is more, there is some chance that we can flip a republican on the issue, especially republicans living in swing states. If you live in a swing state with a republican senator write your senator. Organize protests if possible, letter writing campaigns will be a great tool if not.

Concerning Joe Manchin: Outside of people living in West Virginia, unfortunately not much unless we are able to gather the will to go full scale protest mode over this. If you have a democrat senator, swing or not, write them to make it absolutely clear that you expect them to support DC statehood. We need every single democrat on board. In West Virginia any action to bring Manchin to task for his failure will be critical. Writing senators, writing news papers, protests, etc.

Shift the political landscape left on this issue: Target centrists and moderate democrats and conservatives throughout the country on the issue. Focus on grass root efforts, especially if you live in a swing state.

How to talk about the issue

Talk to your family and friends, focus on the idea of how critical representation is and how DC is a unique city with unique needs.

Do not be afraid to pull the racism card, it applies here.

Invoke Donald Trump and police abuses of the DC people last year during peaceful protests.

Point out that the DC residents will be forced to turn to increasingly desperate measures as they have no legal recourse to have their issues addressed.

When faced with the same situations the founding fathers turned to destructive riots, and that according to American precedent and values the citizens of DC would be entirely in the ethical right to do so now.

The fact that DC residents have not yet turned to destructive riots at a large scale is a sign of their commitment to peaceful resolution of the issue, but their patience will not and should not last much longer.

Anyone who embraces American ideals should support ANY effort of the DC people to secure their rights, including up to destructive protest if they decide to take it there, according to precedent and tradition established by the founding fathers and outlined in the declaration of independence.

Quote the declaration if you can, centrists and moderates love that shit. Invoke the Boston tea party.

How to contact your congress representatives

(summer bishil, 33, woman, merperson) Blimey! Is that (BRIAR BRANDO)? (SHE) is the (CARPENTER) on the Cursed Serpent and has been onboard the ship for (TWO YEARS). Legend has it they are (QUICK-WITTED & PROVOCATIVE), but don’t get on their bad side, because I hear they’re (INFLAMMATORY & HEDONISTIC). Aye! Stop staring! (BRIAR) has their (FLINTLOCK BELT PISTOLS) out! (ooc: dea, pst, 24, she/her, rape/sexual assault)

THE CURSED SERPENT

After devoting several decades to living amongst her merfolk colony, conflicts of interest led to her choosing a more landbound existence. She found it easy to blend in with the lively energy Westburgh, having observed and the behaviours and dynamics of humans as well as the amount of traffic which crosses through the city. However, eventually, she found herself getting restless and in desire of a profession which would sufficiently satisfy her mind and body. She developed a fascination for metalsmithing and carpentry, shadowing masters of each field in exchange for fetching them supplies. Her good looks allowed her to barter fares for goods to a significantly lower amount, which paid off the space she took up. Otherwise, she kept a low profile and wore deliberately unflattering clothes, keeping her hair tied back and her words few; altogether generating an attitude aligned with a masculine demeanour that blended in better.

Time passed and eventually she grew restless in her apprentice positions, having understood what needed to be done multiple times over. Unfortunately, when Briar’s impatience flared an unfortunate event was soon to follow. Since her departure from the sea, she was careful to neglect using her sonic abilities — it was merely coincidence that the local lead carpenter happened to one night wander past the city limits and slip into a watery grave. With an open position, Briar seamlessly filled it and kept customers pleased and impressed with the speed and precision at which she worked.

Briar heard rumours of the Cursed Serpent throughout her years in Westburgh. Their reputation and the obstacles they’d surmounted preceded them — each one singing louder to Briar’s disobedient scallywag heart. To be a part of such a group always sounded enticing, although she was less interested in the prospect of being at the sea’s mercy for a prolonged period of time. Since leaving her colony, she harbours a hatred for the sea. The idea of swimming or being underwater to hear the voices of her kind leaves a sour taste in her mouth and a white hot anger under her skin. But, once again, she began to grow restless in her city-bound existence that followed the same rhythm everyday.

Considering life aboard a ship meant commanding the waves rather than falling beneath them, she reasoned with herself that it seemed a safe enough distance to submit to her heart’s longing for piracy. Soon, the siren call of adventure, prosperity, and infamy beckoned her over the edge. After following the trails of gossip, Briar found the Cursed Serpent and boldly pledged herself as the carpenter they needed to truly succeed in the rough times ahead. It remains her highest goal to maintain truth in the statement.

Briar enjoys being of aid and service to whatever the ship demands. She has a hungry work ethic and ability to juggle projects, likely to fly under the radar for stints at a time as she works in her preferred space — below deck. In the aftermath of storms she has remained acutely aware of any issues on board, and tends to stay an active member on deck taking initiative on repairs or reinforcements when others venture to shore, restock at ports, or find a rare moment of sleep. Briar mostly likes doing her own thing, but will readily take on tasks when asked. She works at an incredibly rapid pace without sacrificing perfectionism.

Briar fits right in with the lifestyle of a pirate with her rowdy attitude and hedonistic desires, likely to stir the pot whether she intended to or not. She finds it keeps things dynamic, and enjoys witnessing others as work almost as much as she likes bothering them. Although she likes the crew for their attachment to the Cursed Serpent, she has remained emotionally distanced and wary of everyone. Only shallow bonds have been formed with fellow members, in her reluctance to divulge much about herself nor interest in being close friends with anyone. At the end of the day, she wishes to find the Jewels more than anything else. Lives lost or injured along the way is inevitable collateral damage, hence her disinterest in growing too fond of anyone lest they be lost to the larger goal. Accordingly, in the face of any tragedy, she does not dwell in gloom or disappointment. Three modes govern Briar, at any given moment — rage, sardonic humour, and impulsivity.

The Captain’s death unnerved her, making the mistake of deeming him better than other humans for the kind of ship he ran and the notoriety he was responsible for. Briar deeply respected his leadership and intelligence, never in disagreement with the calls he made. His death had Briar, for the first time, considering him weak and tactless for not avoiding the final hit that killed him. It made her feel bitter. Human mortality was a heavy burden to live with and, with more dangerous waters likely ahead, above all else it frustrated her to think the Jewels may be harder to access without his level-headed order and discretion as the crew’s compass.

SECRET

In her spare time, on the down low, Briar likes to work on developing unique weapons. With a specific interest in fire and ignition; grenades, hand cannons, and other explosive projectile matter are her predominant under-development works. Most prototypes are too dangerous and volatile to work on in an enclosed space whilst active, and although it sacrifices swift progress, she ensures her materials are kept dampened until satisfied with her design. She remains confident that her awareness of the elements on board could curve any potential malfunction issues, but also knows better than to waste materials. In the meantime, she stocks up on ideas and their necessary frameworks as she awaits the day she can assemble something and put it to real use.

Briar was exiled from her merfolk colony for repeatedly breaking the law, branded for repeated fraternisation with a sorcerer that supposedly put her colony in jeopardy. Even though she claimed she was careful, travelling a great distance each visit, the relationship was deemed reckless for both the act itself and the (literal) dangerous waters she tread in the process. As a result of the mark bestowed upon her, Briar exclusively wears long sleeved shirts — high collared or tightly laced at all times, at the bear minimum. Even on sweltering days. She would say it’s for protection from any shrapnel or splintering that she may encounter during her work. Due to the painful treatment her colony put her through despite her efforts to explain herself, she is very wary of other merpeople until she learns where their allegiance lies. Merfolk wandering in disguise amongst humans make her paranoid that her cover of normalcy may be blown. She is only sympathetic for outsiders, whether by force or choice — she wouldn’t hesitate to help another in true and dire need, as it’s what she would have wished happened to her in her initial castaway phase.

KEY RELATIONSHIPS

ALLUDED APPRENTICE: Someone that wishes to learn more about carpentry. Briar didn’t like the idea of company at first, and was by no means interested nor in possession of the patience required to be a teacher. Initially it was purely through absorbing continuous examples of her at work from a distance that they were able to pick up a few things. Only when it became obvious how observant they were did Briar willingly begin to divulge a few techniques or skills that would enable better execution. Occasionally, she’ll make a game out of it and challenge them to making something in a limited amount of time. She’s far more critical than likely to praise anything they come up with, but she’s grown to appreciate having someone to share with and bond over her enjoyment of crafting.

CHARRED CAMARADERIE: Briar’s abrasive manner sometimes gets the better of her for its lack of discrimination. Anyone in her line of sight is fair game to rub the wrong way, even if that entails disrespecting someone ranked above her or twice her size. She doesn’t care much for rules and order, at the end of the day far more willing to be selfish if it means survival. It’s her unyielding audacity that this person can’t help but somewhat respect, yet they don’t want her to give her the wrong idea that she has any power in her beliefs. For the sake of order, no matter the weight of their personal opinion, they always make sure to shut down any instigative remarks she makes. Inwardly, she finds it both challenging and commendable that someone dares to keep her accountable and under some measure of control. At the heart of this dynamic, there is deep respect that goes both ways. However, on the surface, one wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s a lot of bickering and empty threats — a game of baiting and entrapping until one side concedes… until next time.

ALL THE FIXINGS: chock it up to plain clumsiness or one too many drunken stupors, this person is always causing bumps, scrapes, and breaks upon the ship’s materials as well as their own possessions. Briar fixes the result following each incident, no questions asked. It’s an explicitly need-to-know basis. The only thing she asks for her services is for there to be an exchange of some sort, which varies on her mood. Sometimes payment is as simple as a coin, other times a bottle of booze, or — for an undisclosed yet ongoing project — some pilfered gunpowder. The “don’t ask, don’t tell” rule goes both ways.

Where might Donald Trump run, in a bid to avoid prison?

Shannon Gormley: Our complex scoring system points to one perfect place

By Shannon Gormley December 14, 2020

Macau? Montenegro? Saudi Arabia? Which country—without an extradition treaty with the U.S.—might win Donald Trump as a new resident?

Donald Trump seems particularly ill-suited to prison life. Although self-awareness is not often cited among his greatest attributes, he most likely grasps this singular, essential fact about himself: he would not care for jail and jail would not care for him. He can be expected to do anything to avoid it—anything, that is, but avoid illegal activities of the kind that ordinarily lead to prison time.

It appears he may have done a fair amount of illegal activitizing, in fact, and enough of it appears to fall so far outside the scope of a presidential self-pardon that various New York prosecutors are ready to charge him the moment he vacates that poor Resolute desk. And so, in an era of ceaseless, unremitting firsts, for the first time in history, the president of the United States might soon find himself on the lam.

Although it is difficult to conceive of the leader of the free world joining the ranks of the various aging Nazis, ousted despots, retired mobsters and deadbeat ex-husbands currently circling the globe in search of a hideout, once presidential immunity is lost it is hard to see what alternative he would have. The president has given us one hint, so subtle as to be nearly imperceptible, that he may have to leave the country: at a recent political rally, he said, “Maybe I’ll have to leave the country.”

The question is, where might Donald Trump run?

To determine the foreign country to which the president of the United States would be most likely to abscond, we will apply a complex scoring system, taking into account the factors that would be most likely to enter into his considerations, weighted according to the importance he would be likely to attach to each.

Ten points are awarded, first of all, if Trump’s new prospective home has no extradition treaty with the United States; nine, if it has a history of failing to honour its extradition treaty with the United States.

The country must of course receive Trump in the style to which he has grown accustomed: golf courses are worth five points; very garish, very tall buildings another five. Other attractions would include being Russia-friendly (11 points), hosting Trump-owned pieces of real estate or businesses (five points), and offering a tax environment for billionaires who prefer to pay in the $750 range (five points). A country may earn a maximum of 41 points.

Slovenia: Melania Trump is from Slovenia; however, our methodology does not recognize a connection to Trump’s wife as indicative of a travel preference. This is not a flaw in our methodology. 0/41

Anywhere Whatsoever in Africa: Trump may soon regret referring to nations that may otherwise have harboured him as “s–thole” countries—although many countries in Africa don’t have extradition treaties with the United States and, much like American voters, they may send him back for the sheer joy of it. 10/41

Scotland: Trump likes golf; Trump really likes golfing on his own golf courses; therefore, Trump really, really likes Scotland. Scotland, unfortunately, likes the rules-based international order, classical architecture, and extradition treaties with the United States. 10/41

France: The French don’t have particularly low taxes; on the other hand, they have golf courses, and various gilt things. And France (which would never be so gauche as to reliably adhere to the rigidities of an extradition treaty) is currently home to Roman Polanski—like Trump, an entertainment professional who in his spare time likes to relax, eat good food and be accused of rape. It’s a possibility. 15/41

Macau: Gambling institutions have purchased the right to use Trump’s trademark in Macau, doubtless as an attraction for the discerning gambler who likes his casinos serially bankrupt. Macau is a haven for tax dodgers and a hiding spot for fugitives. It’s glitzy, it’s garish, and there’s probably a golf-themed slot machine somewhere on the island. The only thing missing is a nice Russian dictator to share it with. 30/41

Andorra: Andorra is a rare example of a European nation with no extradition treaty with the United States; unfortunately, it is no longer the tax haven it once was. Also, Trump would be bored. No high society he can complain about being excluded from, no skyscrapers, just…churches. 10/41

Montenegro: Also in Europe, also without an extradition treaty. It doesn’t attract golfers on account of it having basically no golf courses, but it does attract real estate investors, particularly those who wish to take advantage of its offer of a residency permit in exchange for property purchases. It also attracts Russian tourists and bots, the latter making a concerted effort to sway this strategically located country more in Putin’s favour. They have an easy task: within Montenegro, Russia is viewed more favourably than any other country, and—like Trump—roughly 40 per cent of Montenegrans say they admire Putin.

But again: churches. 26/41

Saudi Arabia: When Trump introduced his Muslim ban, a few Muslim countries were omitted from the list. Saudi Arabia was one of them. Trump does business in Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia has made it known that it would prefer to continue doing political business with Trump. Trump declared an emergency just so he could veto House opposition to him signing an $8-billion arms deal with the kingdom. Masters play golf there, billionaires put their money there, skyscrapers skyscrape there. Trump, we could easily conclude, might well go there—if only Putin could go, too. Moscow’s relations with Riyadh are fraught, but perhaps not so bad as to rule Trump’s potential relocation plans. 35.5/41

Russia: There are few places in the world more Russia-friendly than Russia itself, and few world leaders more Russia-friendly than Trump. In the 1980s, it built golf courses near Moscow specifically to attract American investors; Trump is one of the American investors who obliged. Russia, in turn, appears to have invested in Trump. Granted, Moscow and St. Petersburg don’t have many of the 58-storey mirrors that are Trump’s preferred building type, but Putin would probably let him build one eventually that the American president could be safely locked up in, so half points for phallic architecture. Moscow has a long tradition of offering its Western assets involuntary sanctuary. As for taxes, Putin associates get a rebate. It’s almost perfect—but not quite. 38.5/41

U.A.E.: Another Muslim country excused from Trump’s Muslim ban; another country with no extradition treaty with the United States; another tax haven. But it is only the U.A.E. with which Trump recently signed a multi-billion-dollar weapons deal, just as he was losing a presidential election. The U.A.E. is also becoming a closer strategic partner of Russia in the Middle East, as both generally share a similar assessment of the region’s popular democratic movements: they don’t like them.

Regarding lifestyle, the U.A.E. is not known for flowing champagne, but Trump doesn’t drink anyway, for fear it would impair his very sound judgment. The U.A.E. has nice golf courses: it built them the way it built its islands—by stacking piles of cash on top of each other. Compared to New York, Dubai may have all the glitz with little of the glamour, but that is extremely on-brand for Trump. And Dubai not only has taller buildings than any country on this list, it has the tallest building in the world. For the first time in his life, Trump could boast about the size of something and be right. For Trump, the U.A.E. earns a perfect score.

Prediction: If the President of the United States becomes an international fugitive, he will seek sanctuary in Dubai, U.A.E. Of course, that assumes he responds to defeat by actually leaving office. Which would require that he follow the law. Which, you know…

twelve Things You Should Consider When Acquiring Your First Condo

1) Analysis the Builder:

Not all building contractors are alike. Many create high quality condos and have some sort of track record of success, while others slice corners and build substandard condos. Aside from reviewing the general contractors webpage, one should also carry out an internet search for watchdog studies, lawsuits and discussion boards to get proposed and existing accommodations. One thing to look out with regard to is whether the builder who is project you are interested in, has a background for completing their assignments on time. I had a client who have purchased with a builder (who shall remain nameless in this particular article) that habitually forced back completion dates. Our client was promised typically the keys a little under 36 months after purchasing the unit, plus the builder delayed possession thrice from their original projected conclusion date. After many irritating delays, he final acquired the keys a whole a couple of and a half years after the authentic scheduled completion date. This specific tied his deposit funds up for an a total regarding 5. 5 years. It was almost considered like a 2 . 5 12 months interest free loan on the builder! In retrospect, as a possible investor, he would have loved to invest in another project from 15% deposit, then take other 10% and rescued another 5%, and put that money into one more project, returning him probably double the return, including 2 . 5 less yrs. This is why it pays to research often the builder!

2) Choose the form of condo that meets yourself:

Not all condos are likewise. Some have age constraints, and rules about animals. Other condos are more loved ones friendly in terms of the unit measurements and amenities. Still other folks cater to retiree's. A good way to decide this is have a look at the number of bachelor's, one, two and a few bedroom units in the complete building. You may also contact the house manager for the condominium to be able to verify whether it is a lifestyle condo catering to a certain demographic. People fewer two and several bedroom units will likely not appeal to large families. juniper hill

3) Identify financial status:

If you are a newbies buyer, getting pre-approved to get a mortgage is a must. Contact your loan company to determine your buying ability, and get a firm commitment page from them locking in the level, and approval amount. No-one wants to be left around the closing day without a mortgage loan approval after you already produced the purchase. I have acquired countless past clients that have been given what they thought has been an approval from their bank, exactly where in fact it was nothing more than a new verbal agreement. Some people have gotten credit issues in the past which could warrant a more difficult endorsement process, and possibly at a increased rate. It is always better to understand that you received a formal pre-approval before you fall in love with a home you can not afford.

4) Talk with local real estate agent:

Real estate agent's can give you statistics of which condominiums are appreciating well in Mississauga as well as the most popular unit sorts, and floor plans. This will likely help you to make a direct assessment between different condo properties in order to establish the true associated with the unit you are interested in. Don't merely settle for any real estate agent. Once more, not all real estate agents are the same. Make an effort to work with a local expert that are experts in the type of properties that curiosity you. After all, why can you work with a realtor that markets mainly full sized residences in the suburbs, when you are seeking purchase a condo in the metropolis? It is like going to the dental office for your flu!

5. Carry out your own research:

If you plan to get a home without a real estate agent, you ought to look into the sales of the adjacent area yourself. Again, these kinds of resources will be less obtainable to the general public, but you could have access to the asking rates of similar properties. That does not mean that those prices will be the market values for that certain property, or even necessarily whatever they sell for. Be careful while information gathering. I have experienced a number of past clients reward me after their hunt for educating them on location values, and explaining to these what to look for when they are searching. Why don't get the assistance of a regional expert, when they're providers are free?

6. Find out modification capability:

Although freehold qualities allow the owner to carry out restorations without anyone's consent, condo properties have restrictions on what may be altered for each unit. A standard rule of thumb should be to request composed permission from the property supervision before making any renovations. The house managers consent is always needed to various degrees depending on the residence. Usually renovation work that requires removing a wall or maybe upgrading bathtubs and baths will have limitations on what can easily, and cannot be done. Several require that a detailed reconstruction plan be submitted into the condo board for agreement prior to the renovation taking place. It will always be better to be proactive. An individual wouldn't want to reverse the actual reno back once it is completed! I had a client who all removed all the carpet inside their unit, to replace with wooden. She did this to boost the value of their unit before selling it, only to learn that management had to agree to any floor renovations. The lady tried to then sell the system thinking that hardwood wood raise the value of her unit. That did increase the value of your ex unit, but in failing to utilize and receive consent from your property manager, she was could possibly be renovation restrictions in the developing. It was later found that will she did not use the appropriate sound-proofing underpad beneath the hard wood. The condo corporation regarded that this would hinder the particular enjoyment of the unit owner immediately below hers because of sound. Consequently, she had to split out the hardwood, install fresh underpad, and then replace the wood. This ate into just about all her profit, and your girlfriend investment, and time was certainly not rewarded. The moral in the story is to always check into these renovations with the rental property manager before you begin. It could save you lots of money!

7) Ask for a disclosure statement:

The developer as well as builder of a new terme conseillé is required to have an information report giving details of the building, along with the legal terms under that this condominium will operate. The particular booklet is available immediately after typically the Agreement of Purchase along with Sale is signed. With resale units, this "Condo By Laws and Declarations" booklet is always made available through the 10 day conditional interval when you purchase a unit. It is placed on the status certificate that may be forwarded to your lawyer regarding review. Your lawyer and then has 2 business days and nights to review the certificate, in addition to consult the purchaser together with his/her findings. If almost everything checks out, the buyer may progress with the purchase. If there are usually red flags in the documents, often the purchaser always reserves it is your right walk away within the conditional time.

8. Ask for a site program:

It is important to know if the model that you want to purchase is in the 1st, second or third period of development so that you understand any future construction which could block your existing look at. Of equal significance will be knowing when, and everywhere more development may take place around this building. New improvement adjacent to the building will influence the use and enjoyment of your house due to noise, vibration, unpleasant construction, dust and nasty smells. It is also good practice to master where your unit will be inside proximity to the elevator, rubbish disposal room, and services, as units near these components usually have a stigma installed on them in the resale industry. Besides, who would want to scent the garbage room after a very long day at work.

9) Establish development plans for the associated with area:

Many condos can be purchased under the premise of a very clear view to the Lake, scenery, or green-space. To ensure that the lovely view will be maintained in the long term, an easy trip to the Planning Department will let you ask if any other innovations are planned nearby, and have a look at the architectural pictures. The planners should be able to assist you to understand the types of developments which can be proposed around you. I have got many calls from people that bought privately through the creator units with south landscapes of the lake as an investment property. These investors would hold the unit until they obtain the keys, and the building subscribes as a condominium corporation. At this time, they would try to resell it, only to be shocked which a new condominium just commenced construction in front of they're system, obstructing their perfect to the south view. The investors blunder was being too excited during the buy process, without taking a take a step back and asking the right concerns up front.

10) Review service details:

If the developer provides a swimming pool, it is important to really know what size and whether it is inside or outdoor. The same is true of party rooms, exercise locations, gyms, sports fields, doctor offices and lockers. Find out how huge, how many, and where will have them located.

Again, these 12 considerations can affect both your entertainment, and the resale value of your current condo. It is always better to research before you buy upfront, and then enjoy the returns of your hard work once you have shifted in!

How to put 'It Works' to work for YOU!

The powerful idea presented so simply and well in 'It Works' will change your life. I know this because it has changed mine. The fantastic results that I have created using this idea have motivated me to investigate these principles for 25 years.

I want you to be rich with things that make you happy. I'm going to give you ideas and images you can use to help you be more successful with the list technique presented in 'It Works'.

What I have Done With 'It Works'

My annual income is now 35 times greater than it was the day I first read this little book. I have gained houses, cars, boats, businesses, friends, a family, and numerous creative and prospering ideas using the principles set forth in this book.

In the last 25 years I have spent thousands of hours teaching these ideas to other people. I've seen many people use the ideas in this book to create something new in their life, and I have seen others who are not so successful with it. I want you to be one of the successful ones.

How to Succeed with your List

First, let's take a little test. Take a sheet of paper (or your word processor) and without looking at the book write down the 'Three Positive Rules of Accomplishment' that are the key to this technique.

Then go back and compare them to the text. How did you do?

Did you miss a few? I did when I first tried this test myself.

If you read this book and it never goes farther than words and ideas in your mind, then you have lost the advantage of it.

The key to success with this method it to DO IT, not just think about it. Don??t think that by reading it, even many times, that you will know it. That would be like thinking that you know how to ride a bicycle just by reading about it. In order to master the bicycle, you have to get on it and ride, learning to keep your balance as you move forward. That is exactly the way you learn the principles of conscious creation taught by ??It Works??.

When I first started using the technique in this book, I wrote my first list, and started getting great results. Then after a month or so, I stopped writing and reviewing the list, and tried to 'do it in my head'. I didn't get the same results.

I went back to using the list, and the great results started happening again. Then I got what I wanted and let things slide, and the cycle repeated.

Meanwhile I started studying the ideas and teaching them to others. In the process I learned some interesting things I am sharing with you.

What I learned is that each of us has a spark from the Creator which is our own personal creator, like a genie from a magic lamp. The problem with this genie is that he responds to every thought in my mind as if it were a command. If I think of something with desire, he starts creating that for me. If I start to worry or fear, he starts to erase that creation.

Wherever I put my attention, the genie starts multiplying that attention into a real experience in my life. All of this creation takes place in a part of my mind called the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the part of my mind that holds the tremendous creative power that I can learn to tap into and use. However, it has a special way of working that I must understand if I want to use my subconscious mind power effectively.

If my attention wanders all over the place, my subconscious becomes full of half-created thought-forms and my life is chaotic or boring. That??s because the genie is busy trying to do a million different things at once, many of which contradict each other. His efforts always follow in the track of my attention, and until I get my attention going in a constant direction, I don??t get the results I would like.

The plan given in 'It Works' helps me to control my attention, and put that genie to work with enough time and focus to produce real and complete results. It will work the same way for you.

My conscious mind sets the agenda, but I often get distracted by the half-formed and malformed effects of previous wishes and desires. Many of those desires are unconscious, created with incomplete understanding or fear or worry. The genie does what I tell him, but he listens to my daydreams and worries and treats them as commands.

This creative power responds to what I believe. I have come to realize that what I believe is not necessarily the same as what I think. It's easy to know what I believe - it is what I act on. It is what I do. Even while I am unable to admit to myself what I really believe, my subconscious mind is working to make circumstances, opportunities, and events in my life to experience those beliefs.

How do I change what I believe, so that I can get what I want? There is a simple way to do this. It has been discovered and rediscovered by teachers and writers throughout the ages.

Here it is:

I can imagine what I want, I can pretend that it is so, and I can repeat this over and over.

The creative genie of my subconscious mind responds to imagination, focused attention, and repetition. That's what the book 'It Works' is all about.

How to Get Faster and Better Results

Here are things that will help you create more successfully when you use the technique presented in ??It Works??. These are things that I have discovered in the last 25 years of using 'It Works.' Each of these is a suggestion based on actual experiences with using the list. Use the ideas that sound good to you.

The most important thing is to do exactly what it says. Follow the plan exactly: Create a list, include what you really desire in order of its importance to you, read the list three times a day, think of the items on the list as often as you can, and don't tell anyone what you are doing.

For faster demonstration of results, you can rewrite the list each day, even if it hasn't changed. Reorder the items on the list according to their importance to you. Doing this makes the ideas new again, and will lead to more rapid success. It??s also important to do something physical with your ideas, as soon as possible. Writing them out is a way to give them entry into the outer world of manifestation. It creates a toehold for their growth into physical reality.

If you have a tape recorder, you can read the list out loud in a firm voice and tape it. Then play the tape over and over again (perhaps in your car as you commute to and from work). This needs to be done and played in private. That's easy nowadays since you can get an inexpensive tape player with headphones.

I found a little digital recorder that records into it's own computer memory, and then plays it back over and over again through headphones. You can also do this with the 'Sound Recorder' program that is built into most personal computers.

Put real amounts, specific items, and specific dates in your list. Some people worry that this is 'outlining' and delays manifestation. But what good is it to get Coke when you want Pepsi, or Pepsi when you want Coke? You don??t plant strawberries and expect to harvest watermelons. The most important thing is not a particular item on your list, but developing your power of conscious creation.

Do you have trouble remembering the items on your list? If so, it may be that they are not really that important to you. Try memorizing the items on your list.

Are you having trouble finding ten things to put on your list? Are you unsure which things should really be on the list? Here??s an easy way to build your list: ask yourself- ??What do I think about all day??? That is what should be on your list. You may have to start by listing your worries, and then turn each of them into a positive desire. For example, what do I worry about? What would need to happen for me to not worry about this any more?

If you have trouble finding things that you want, try thinking of it in another way. What would you like to see happen?

How will you know it is working?

When you receive an idea about something that is on your list, act on it in a positive way. Sometimes the thing you want requires a few intermediate steps. Be ready to go through several doorways as they open before you, to reach your goal. If you want a car, perhaps you will find yourself creating a new set of tires first, or a garage to keep the car in.

Realize that many of the things you want will find you. You will be tempted to say, 'but I didn't do anything, it just happened.' Your inner mind genie will use the simplest and most efficient way to create the results you imagine. It doesn't care who gets the credit. After a while you won't either!

Remember that your genie is working nonstop, according to the program that you set for him. If you say, ??this can??t be working??, he will do his best to make that seem true ?V even while he continues his nonstop creation of the other things you ask for.

How will you know it is working? For most people it is not one thing, or two things, but the fact that one thing after another manifests in their lives. The first thing you get from your list seems to be a coincidence, the second is luck, the third is serendipity, and the forth is a miracle. Finally after many creations, when your friends start wondering what the heck is going on, you will realize that there is a simple and rational law in operation, and that you know how to use it.

Get excited and enthusiastic about the good things coming into your life. If this doesn't seem natural to you, go ahead and use your 'power of pretend' to fake it until you make it. Appreciation is the oil of the engine of creation. Enthusiasm and excitement are manifestations of your appreciation, and confirmation of your positive expectation.

The attitudes that will delay your success or confuse your creation are jealousy, envy, resentment, reservations, uncertainty, and indecisiveness. Put all of those to the side. The more you recognize your own creative ability, the less you will care about those things that these attitudes have been attached to. You just won??t have time for those ways of thinking any more.

There is no such thing as a negative thought - every thought has a positive result in reproducing itself. Every thing you think about grows in your mind and becomes part of your physical life. That??s why it is so important to control what you are thinking. The key to controlling your mind is replacing the thoughts that create what you don't want, with the thoughts that create what you do want. You do not resist the old thoughts, you replace them by putting your attention somewhere else. Using your list is your key to accomplishing this. Use this physical tool to reinforce the thoughts that you want.

Think of your subconscious mind as being like a sailboat in the middle of the ocean. The sailboat is blown everywhere, back and forth, by the wind, which is the power of thought. It needs a keel and a rudder to be able to set a course and make way to a certain destination. Your list is the keel and the rudder of your subconscious sailboat.

Thought follows a certain structure in your mind. The idea comes first, then the belief, then the attitude, and then the behavior. Your strongest foundation, the anchor of your thinking, begins with your behavior. Change your behavior, then change the attitude that changing the behavior reveals, then change the belief that inspires the attitude. Grab hold of an idea that is bigger and more inclusive than the small ideas that have kept you poor and unhappy.

When you are tempted to tell everyone what you are doing to make the changes in your life, send them a copy of this book instead. After you have received 40 things you have asked for, you can start talking about the process you are using. Keep a list of everything you get until you receive 40 things you have asked for.

Many people find this book, and use it to get one important thing, and then abandon this method. How did this book come into your life? Your genie brought it to you, or brought you to it, in response to your conscious or unconscious desire to create a specific experience, or to understand creation itself. Take advantage of this experience, and make this intelligent, conscious creation a way of life, not a one-time experience.

??Hey Peter, get back in the boat!?? - the other 11 apostles

Trying to control other people and make decisions for them is a misuse of them, and of your own creative power. The most important thing you can make is a decision. Trying to take that opportunity for creation away from others is based on fear, not love. Fear in your mind will generally create things you do not want. Lewt people learn their lessons. God loves them, too.

I learned something wonderful long ago, that will give you freedom. I can??t prove anything to you about anything important or meaningful. However, I can tell you how you can experiment and prove these things to yourself. If I walked on water, you would be looking for the rocks. If you walk on water, you will know that there are no rocks. Using this list will show you how to walk on the water of your life. You will have to learn to politely ignore your friends as they yell: ??Hey Peter, get back in the boat!??

The Toyota Principle

The subconscious mind creation process goes on all the time. You don't have to be good to make it work. You don't have to chant, exercise, or repeat magic words. You are rich now with the results of what you have been thinking about. Your life is always full of something. If you want to be rich with something else, change what you are thinking about.

As you develop your ability to consciously direct your creation process, as you build your confidence and increase your will power, your results will come more quickly and be more satisfying. Don't delay this process by calling the results coincidence. Wait until you have received at least 40 items on your list (by receiving something and replacing the list item with a new item) before you judge the results as coincidence or creation.

You are already a success at creating what you are thinking about - everyone is. The biggest enemy of conscious control is self-importance - which may manifest in disguise as self-deprecation, worry about what others think of you, or the desire to have others approve of you. Don't let your ego distract your from taking control of your mind and your life.

Everything in your life is there because you have asked for it through either desire or fear. Nothing comes to you by itself. I call this the "Toyota Principle" because there used to be a commercial advertisement on television for a certain car company with the catchphrase "You asked for it - you got it - Toyota!' When you have used your list for a while, you will begin to see this is true, and then vast realms of possibility will open in your life.

It's a friendly universe.

If you are of a certain religious orientation, you might be concerned about this creative process and think it is a possible affront to God. I don't think it is. Think of the New Testament phrase, ??Pray without ceasing.?? I have decided that this is a description of what we all do all the time. We pray nonstop without knowing it. Practice of the method of conscious creation will show you what prayer is, how it works, and that it is always functioning. I am firmly convinced that learning how my mind works, and how to use it more effectively to help myself and others, is what God wants me to do. How about you?

You don't have to believe in God to use the list. However, don't be surprised if using the list shows you that there is order and structure to the universe, including your mind as a part of that universe. Your world is a lot closer to you and more responsive to you, than you may have considered it to be. It's a friendly universe.

Be careful about including other people on your list. If you want joy and happiness with Jane or Bill, is the joy and happiness more important, or the relationship with Jane or Bill? Maybe the best way to be happy with Jane is let her go find Bill, and let Suzy come find you. As long as you are focused on what someone can give to you, you aren??t yet completely experiencing love.

It may be tempting to think your success is dependent on the channel it happens to come through - your job, your family, a particular relationship or thing you possess. Time and experience will show you that this is not so. In the meantime, place your sense of appreciation and thankfulness on the Creator within you, who has made you in his image as a creator. When the river of your life changes its channel, you had better be ready to go with the flow.

How fast will it work? Faster than you will expect. I put the number one item on my list last week and it manifested in two days ?V and I thought it would be six months or maybe never. Fortunately, while writing and then rereading that list item, I suspended my disbelief. Even before your pen finishes the sentence, the act of creation has begun. Of course there is no magic in the pen or paper ?V the magic is in making the decision a physical thing instead of just a mental idea. No matter how long you use this method, there will be times when you are just utterly amazed at what ??happens?? to you. (It isn??t happening, you are creating it.) How fast can it happen? Don??t blink twice ?V you??ll miss it.

Everything you think will try to prove itself ?V including your skepticism. If you are afraid of what others will think of you, or of what you will think of yourself, then you may be fooling yourself while thinking you are being completely rational. The world is plastic to the molding power of your thoughts ?V even while you think this is untrue, or don??t have a thought about it at all. Everything lives and moves and has its being in a sea of self-modifying thought. You can prove this to yourself, and put it to effective use, with the simple experiment of work with the list for a few weeks or months.

It doesn't take much time or effort. You have nothing to lose. No one will even know you are doing it. They will just think that you have suddenly become incredibly lucky, intelligent, charming, and good looking. It helps to smile a lot.

Creating complete mind pictures is very helpful. That is another book in itself. Feeling joy and enthusiasm about your mental creation is very helpful. It will start to happen naturally as you use this process over and over, because ?{

It Works!.🏄‍♂️ ~Brad Jensen

Note

Could you explain the "Any healthy SFJ could wipe the floor with a self-styled Machiavellian/ruthless NTJ and still have time to make a strawberry rhubarb pie and that’s a fact"?

Hi anon, sure!

To start off: the qualifiers are important: we are talking about “self-styled Machiavellian xNTJs” and “healthy xSFJs”, not all xNTJs vs. all xSFJs. So it’s already an unfair fight, in that the xNTJs are inherently immature idiots (see below for discussion on that) and the xSFJs are described as healthy. anyone reading this purely as xNTJ vs. xSFJ and getting all mad has poor reading comprehension and should be ashamed. Usually I try to give the benefit of the doubt for language barriers when people ask questions in good faith, but I don’t offer that same kindness for those who assume xNTJs are the best. If said people were actually the best and smartest they’d put in the extra effort to actually understand the question.

Now: self-styled Machiavellian xNTJs. Machiavellianism is typically summed up with “the ends justify the means” and “it is better to be feared than loved if one cannot be both.” Here’s the deal. Competently achieving those things requires two things that your typical ‘I’d murder someone for a spot at Harvard Business School’ xNTJ college student lacks: realism and knowing your audience. It also require a pretty good eye for how you appear to others. xNTJs are not good at that. They are, in fact, the worst at that. The ability to read people effectively is as previously discussed here and elsewhere far more associated with sensing and especially Se, rather than intuition or feeling. Similarly, understanding of people generally is more associated with feeling functions, and especially Fe. Therefore, most self-styled Machiavellian xNTJs are immature people in their early 20s who haven’t learned to play to their strengths and who think saying “I have no feelings” is a selling point rather than either cringeworthy or a sign that you should seek therapy.

An immature xNTJ has mediocre to weak Se and mediocre to weak Fi, and absolutely no Fe to speak of. Their self-awareness is garbage and their understanding of other people often hinges on projection of that already weak self-awareness; they are likely to assume everyone shares their goals even though they don’t. As a result, their machinations and passive aggression are so transparent as to be hilarious. It’s like watching a toddler try to play hide and seek by hiding behind the curtains, their brightly colored shoes still clearly visible. To use a cliche, their naked ambition is just that. And the thing is, being openly ruthless or ambitious isn’t necessarily bad, under certain circumstances. However, self-styled Machiavellian xNTJs think they are being subtly political, rather than blatantly obvious suck-ups, and are in for a rude awakening when they finally realize everyone is aware that they’re a passive-aggressive ass-kisser rather than a secret master of manipulation. Also getting back to the Machiavellianism, no one is going to really fear or love them but rather just think “what an asshole.”

Meanwhile healthy xSFJs are per the qualifier, healthy. Their strengths are understanding societal social rules and how to interact with people, from Si and Fe. As a result, an xSFJ seeing this xNTJ acting like the proverbial bull in the china shop who thinks they’re being careful has little to do to beat them. The xNTJ will bring the whole thing crashing down on themselves eventually, because no one likes a passive-aggressive ass-kisser. If the xSFJ so chose they can hasten this process because they are actually good at understanding people and their motivations and understanding how they (the xSFJ) is seen and all the subtle machinations the xNTJ is clumsily attempting, but they can also take the high road and build a fantastic reputation and let the xNTJ crash and burn as they inevitably will.

Which brings me to another point I’d like to address. One person messaged me via chat from an anonymous account stating that the xSFJ would win a popularity contest (often, though not always, this would be true) but the xNTJ would win in, and I quote,

Now, this obviously ignores the qualifiers, because the whole point of the self-styled Machiavellian xNTJ is that they’re not trying to keep their nose to the grindstone and get ahead by proving themselves as competent. Plenty of healthy xNTJs do this, and they are the ones who actually succeed, because they play to their strengths (the ability to understand big-picture topics accurately and provide high-level plans) rather than their weaknesses (subtle manipulation) and also they add value rather than petty drama.

That aside: there is nothing inherent in an xNTJ vs. an xSFJ that makes them more qualified to understand a topic. For example: my ISFJ mother has a degree and work experience in hospital administration. An xSFJ friend I have is a highly qualified immigration defense attorney. Another is a professional chef. An xNTJ that doesn’t have these areas of expertise will almost certainly not win a discussion if the topic is hospital administration, immigration law, or cooking. This should be obvious to anyone with a brain: being an xNTJ does not magically impart knowledge. Now, if both the xSFJ and xNTJ are experts in a topic, we’re talking pretty much even odds. The xNTJ will have the advantage if we assume that they and the xSFJ are of equal intelligence, have similar understanding going in of the topic at hand, and they are given a brief amount of time to prepare their further understanding given the same information AND the topic is either primarily high-level theoretical, or primarily logic/efficiency based. If the topic is, say, pragmatic, ethical, or sociological, my money is on the xSFJ.

So in conclusion: a self-styled Machiavellian xNTJ is usually playing to their weaknesses to begin with, and a healthy xSFJ both is not doing this, and is actually good at those items that are xNTJ weaknesses. If we’re talking general xNTJ vs. xSFJ without those qualifiers, then the results are highly dependent on the exact parameters of the evaluation (and following that, the skillsets and inherent abilities of the participants, which are often purely based on their education and experience with no relation to MBTI). Therefore there are evaluations that would favor an xNTJ and those that would favor an xSFJ and without the specific parameters we can make no assumptions.

Car Engine Lifespan | USA | Hawaii

Source URL : https://medium.com/@ss2112635/car-engine-lifespan-usa-hawaii-944ec64da182

A car engine is an internal combustion engine. There are different kinds of internal combustion engines.

There is no such thing as knowing too much about your car, so familiarizing yourself with some general information is always a good idea. If your car is getting older and you want to make sure you are keeping your car in the best possible shapeIf you sense that something does not seem right with the engine, whether it be an unusual noise or a performance issue.Understanding the age of a vehicle’s engine is also extremely important if you are in the market for a used car, because this is a significant factor that you want to take into consideration when making a decision.The bottom line is, it depends. Where you live, what car you drive, and how much mileage the car are just a few factors that influence your engine’s lifespan.The Another factor that contributes is how well you maintain your vehicle normally.Following the maintenance schedule in your vehicle’s owner’s manual is guaranteed to save you a lot of money in the long run because staying on top of routine maintenance will help avoid any larger issues.It is said that engines on newer cars have an average lifespan of around 10 years or 200,000 miles. It is common for vehicles to get driven 10,000-20,000 miles per year.It is important for every individual driver to take into account the various factors that can influence engine lifetime, and make an educated guess about your own car’s engine. The Engine lifespan and car lifespan are interchangeable, because an engine that is well taken care of may not have to be replaced at any time. The last thing you want to happen is for your engine to fail due to easily avoidable issues .You are looking to buy a used car or just wanting to learn more about the car that you drive. It is important to be educated. Owning a car is a big responsibility and having a good understanding of the car you drive will ensure that you are safe on and off the road.While there is no absolute rule when it comes to how long engines will last, there are a few general figures that can give you a rough idea about what to expect from your car. For some time, the average lifespan of a car’s engine was eight years, or 150,000 miles. New designs, better technology and improved service standards in recent years have increased this average life expectancy to about 200,000 miles, or about 10 years. With a mileage average of about 10,000 to 15,000 miles in a year, a car that is three to four years old will have about 30,000 to 40,000 miles on it. Considering the average lifespan of a vehicle, this car would be a good purchase that could potentially last you over seven additional years.Generally speaking, heavy duty trucks won’t last as long as smaller cars do. Additionally, the amount of effort that you put into maintaining your car will greatly influence what you can expect to get out of it. If you perform all of your routine maintenance on time, take your car in to be serviced regularly and make any necessary engine repair in Conway, AR sooner rather than later, you will likely be able to drive your vehicle for years or even decades to come.he key to a healthy, long-lasting engine is routine service and professional engine repair in Conway, AR to keep you going on the road, and our team at Riverdale Automotive is here to help. We have years of experience working with European cars, and our master technicians can help you with everything from transmission repair to routine maintenance. No matter what kind of service you require for your foreign car, we are more than happy to assist you.

All For One

Overall Abilities: All For One is Japan's most powerful villain. Thanks to the Life Force Quirk, All For One is virtually immortal, and has been active since the emergence of Quirks. He has collected numerous Quirks with an extensive range of applications and can combine them as he pleases. This, along with his ability to steal any Quirk from his opponent makes All For One nigh impossible to defeat. The villain will employ any means necessary to hurt his opponent before killing them.

Even in his prime, All For One easily defeated powerful Pro Heroes, making himself appear unequaled and unstoppable.[11] The only individuals that can effectively oppose the Symbol of Evil are the inheritors of One For All, a Quirk All For One himself inadvertently created, and the only Quirk he can't steal (though he tried to steal it from Daigoro Banjo and En, twice). All For One sought each One For All user (excluding Hikage Shinomori), and easily killed them by overwhelming them with his barrage of Quirks. However, All For One was unable to steal One For All, nor prevent any of the users from passing the Quirk. Nevertheless, All For One remained unchallenged until the rise of All Might. All Might possessed the necessary strength to challenge All For One, and the two opponents fought a bloody duel. Although All Might sustained crippling injuries, he succeeded in defeating All For One, forcing the villain to rely on life support system.

All For One uses his ultimate combination of Quirk to clash with All Might one final time.

Six years later, despite losing all his senses and unable to recover from his injuries, All For One was far from weak. He single handedly overpowered Endeavor, Best Jeanist, Edgeshot, Mt. Lady, and Gran Torino with little effort, as well as fight on par with All Might until the hero was exhausted out of his muscle form. With his ultimate Quirk combination, coupled with All Might's declining power, All For One nearly succeeded in killing All Might, but the latter summoned his willpower and used the last of his power to knock out the Symbol of Evil.

Immense Strength: All For One is extremely strong, being able to easily trade blows with All Might, whose physical strength was thought to be unrivaled. In his zenith, he was able to effortlessly overpower pre-Nomu Hood, though the latter was weakened from battling O'Clock and his allies.[12]

Immense Speed: All For One has incredible speed, as shown when he completely destroyed the Nomu factory, defeated the 4 Pro Heroes that were there, and dealt significant damage to the surrounding area in a split second. He also has sharp reflexes, being fast enough to react to All Might's punches.

Immense Durability: Despite being in a disheveled state with severe injuries, All For One possesses an inhuman amount of durability. During the entirety of his second battle with All Might, he, unlike the latter, never flinched or otherwise screamed from pain, proving that the Symbol of Evil can withstand the Symbol of Peace's destructive blows with monstrous resilience. Another testament of his sturdiness was when All For One survived All Might's United States of Smash, though was rendered unconscious afterward.

Enhanced Senses: Due to All For One being blind, his hearing improved immensely, as he is able to perceive his surroundings by sound. He can also sense vibrations in the air.[13] An example of this was displayed when All For One quickly dispelled a flame attack from Endeavor, who had arrived on the scene with Edgeshot. However, this ability does have its limits, which is shown when he is placed in Tartarus: the lack of sound and vibrations leaves him completely oblivious to his surroundings.

Genius Intellect: All For One possesses an extraordinary level of intellect, most likely due to his advanced age and life experience. He ruled Japan from the shadows for over a hundred years, with most of the public being ignorant of his existence. He is well-informed about current affairs and about significant figures among heroes and villains. He also possesses a vast knowledge of the Quirks he's stolen, which enables him to use them effectively.

While condescending towards his opponents, All For One is an expert at observing his enemies and exploiting their flaws. Another terrifying aspect of All For One's intelligence is his ability to prey on people's insecurities. Aware that All Might still mourned his mentor, Nana Shimura, All For One used that to taunt the hero by insulting her, as well as reveal that Tomura is Nana's grandson. Afterward, he exposed All Might's emaciated form to the public to demoralize them as well as humiliate the hero.

From observing All Might, All For One deduced that he no longer possesses One For All and Izuku Midoriya inherited the Quirk. In the aftermath of the Kamino Incident, it was revealed that All For One anticipated the possibility of his second defeat at the hands of All Might, and knew if that were to happen, he would be unable to transfer his All For One Quirk onto Tomura as planned. To ensure the inheritance of his power was fulfilled, the Symbol of Evil, prior to resurfacing, had his Quirk replicated by his physician, Kyudai Garaki, leaving All For One with the copied variant, and the Doctor with the original variant, which would then later be passed down to Tomura.[14]

When attacking Tartarus with his army of High-End Nomu, All For One was able to overcome the prison's nearly impenetrable defenses through a coordinated attack from the outside (since his consciousness took control of Tomura's body) and inside (where his original body was housed). He successfully freed all the prisoners in Tartarus, including his original body.[15] Given his inability to steal One For All, and knowledge of Quirks being imprinted with the original user's consciousness,[8] it has been discussed that All For One primarily grooms Tomura's negative emotions so the former's will inside of the All For One Quirk can more easily inhabit Tomura's modified chassis, all in a final attempt for the original Symbol of Evil to acquire One For All.[16]

All For One's impregnable will overshadows Tomura's mind and body.

Indomitable Will: Befitting his epithet, the Symbol of Evil, All For One possesses a malefic volition so resolute, that he was able to easily amass hordes of followers in his long life through sheer influence. Within and outside the battlefield, All For One is entirely unfazed by unforeseen spectacles that would leave him otherwise intimidated or unhinged, and he commonly maintains his complacent attitude even when he seems to be at a disadvantage. His presence has shown to be so malicious and dark, Izuku, Tenya Ida, Momo Yaoyorozu, Shoto Todoroki, and Eijiro Kirishima were completely paralyzed with fear, despite the quintet previously experiencing life-or-death situations and encountering lethal villains. All For One's will is also great enough for his original Quirk to overwhelm Tomura Shigaraki's own willpower and possess the young villain like a puppet. This is convenient as All For One plans to transfer his consciousness into Tomura, intending to become a more powerful being.

However, in spite of having his ambitions thwarted time and again by users of One For All and the circumstance of All Might destroying his body and permanently crippling him, his hatred, if any, isn't strong enough to allow him to override the will of One For All or it user. Even disregarding the physical requirements to take One For All into himself, he seems to lack the emotional resolve to overpower the wills of the spirits in One For All. This seems to indicate that while his will is supremely strong when it comes to resisting things that might change him personally (his sense of self/personality), he doesn't seem to care enough about anyone or anything to have an emotional investment to strengthen his will. Tellingly, it's only when Tomura is in a negative state and consumed by rage that All For One can take control as rage causes people to become unstable and forget themselves.

All For One (オール・フォー・ワン Ōru Fō Wan?): All For One's Quirk allows him to steal other people's Quirks, leaving them Quirkless, and wield the Quirks as his own. All For One can also redistribute his stolen Quirks to other people.

His multiple Quirks grant him a very wide variety of options in combat, and he can combine his stolen Quirks to create compound attacks with devastating effects. However, he cannot steal the original users' Quirk proficiency and is therefore limited by his own skill with his stolen powers. Because of this, he prefers to steal Quirks that rely on raw power, rather than ones that take practice and experience to master.

While he can steal any Quirk, All For One's body cannot properly contain Quirks of newer generations, which is the reason why he sought Dr. Garaki's medical research. He also mentions having frequent nightmares where the consciousnesses of the people he stole Quirks from appear before him.

Shortly before the Kamino Incident, his Quirk was duplicated by Doctor Garaki and the original version of it was given to Tomura, while All For One kept the copied version.[14] A conscious vestige of All For One remains within the original Quirk and has the capabilities of overriding Tomura's will and control his body, though it is currently unaware how much of a connection the vestige and original All For One have to each other.

All For One has stolen a wide variety of Quirks with his ability, including:

Search (サーチ Sāchi?): All For One stole this Quirk from Ragdoll. With this Quirk, he can observe and monitor up to a hundred people at a time, including their location and weak points. In addition to Infrared, this Quirk makes up for All for One's blindness.[17]

Warping (転 (てん) 送 (そう) Tensō?): All For One can produce a black liquid that acts as a portal, similar in nature to Kurogiri's Warp Gate. It appears he can use this Quirk on a large scale as he produces multiple black liquid portals that transport dozens of Nomu to the League of Villains' hideout. This Quirk, however, has many limitations: it is not a coordinate-based warping and can only warp things to and from his location, and it only works if it is used on someone with whom he has a close relationship.[17]

Air Cannon (空 (くう) 気 (き) を押 (お) し出 (だ) す Kūki o Oshidasu?): All For One releases an air shockwave from his arms. This Quirk is further strengthened by its combined usage with Springlike Limbs and several other power-up Quirks.[18]

Springlike Limbs (筋 (きん) 骨 (こつ) 発 (バ) 条 (ネ) 化 (か) Kinkotsu Baneka?): This Quirk allows All For One to coil his muscles in order to enhance his physical strength, and can also be used to augment other Quirks, like Air Cannon.[18]

Rivet Stab (鋲突 Byōtotsu?): All For One transforms his fingers into black tendrils that have red prominent cracked lines that extend from the users' fingers, although they can also emerge from other parts of the body such as the spine. These appendages can easily pierce bodies, however, the user may choose whether to wound the target or not, as seen when All For One used it with Forced Quirk Activation, without harming the target.[18]

Forced Quirk Activation (個 (こ) 性 (せい) 強 (きょう) 制 (せい) 発 (はつ) 動 (どう) Kosei Kyōsei Hatsudō?): All For One can activate a target's Quirk against their will, whether they are conscious or not. All For One has used this Quirk in combination with Rivet Stab.[18]

Impact Recoil (衝 (しょう) 撃 (げき) 反 (はん) 転 (てん) Shōgeki Hanten?): This Quirk seemingly enables All For One to completely reflect the impact of an attack back to the attacker.[7]

Multiplier (増 (ぞう) 殖 (しょく) Zōshoku?): This Quirk seemingly multiplies the number of All For One's arms.[19]

Hypertrophy (肥 (ひ) 大 (だい) 化 (か) Hidaika?): This Quirk seemingly enlarges All For One's Arm.[19]

Rivet (鋲 (びょう) Byō?): This Quirk possibly generates rivet-like growths on All For One's arm.[19]

Spearlike Bones (槍 (そう) 骨 (こつ) Sōkotsu?): This Quirk generates drill-like bone structures on All For One's arm.[19]

Kinetic Booster (瞬 (しゅん) 発 (ぱつ) 力 (りょく) Shunpatsuryoku?): This unnamed Quirk seemingly increases the amount of kinetic energy All For One creates and releases. All For One has four copies of this Quirk.[19]

Strength Enhancer (膂 (りょ) 力 (りょく) 増 (ぞう) 強 (きょう) Ryoryoku Zōkyō?): The unnamed Quirk seemingly enhances All For One's physical strength. All For One has three copies of this Quirk.[19]

Infrared (赤 (せき) 外 (がい) 線 (せん) Sekigaisen?): This Quirk allows All For One to sense his surroundings using infrared senses. He uses this Quirk to compensate for his blindness. However, the amount that he is able to sense is very limited.[13]

Life Force (摂 (せっ) 生 (せい) Sessei?): This Quirk was given to him by Doctor Garaki, and has allowed him to possess supernatural longevity in lifespan.[20]

Super Regeneration (超 (ちょう) 再 (さい) 生 (せい) Chōsaisei?): This Quirk enables rapid physical regeneration, however, it does not work for cicatrized injuries.[21]

Radio Waves (電 (でん) 波 (ぱ) Denpa?): All For One can disrupt radio waves and cause communicators to malfunction.[22]

Unnamed EMP Quirk: This Quirk allows All For One the ability to generate electromagnetic pulses, which are able to shut down the power and communications within an area.[23]

Unnamed Telekinesis Quirk: This Quirk allows All For One the ability to levitate objects with his hand. He used it to levitate his medical device once freed from Tartarus.[23]

Unnamed Hardening Quirk: Stolen from a fighter in the Underground Masquerade.[24]

Quirks obtained via All For One and then passed onto others:

Power Stockpiling: An unnamed Quirk which allowed All For One to stockpile power. He gave it to his younger brother to try and force him to his side, causing it to merge with his Quirk and create the Quirk One For All.[5]

Transforming Arms (変 (へん) 容 (よう) する腕 (うで) Hen'yō Suru Ude?): This Quirk allows the user to shapeshift their arms. This Quirk was given to Hood to try and make him a better fighter.[25]

Mole (土竜 (モグラ) Mogura?): This Quirk allows the user to grow mole-like claws from their fingers, as well as spines on their back, to dig through the Earth. This Quirk was given to Gigantomachia for the purpose of hiding underground.[26]

Overclock (オーバークロック Ōbākurokku?): This Quirk allows the user to stimulate their brain's perception of information, granting them enhanced speed, reflexes, and an improvement to their healing factor. This Quirk was stolen from O'Clock and given to Number 6.[27]

Muscle Augmentation (筋 (きん) 肉 (にく) 増 (ぞう) 強 (きょう) Kin'niku Zōkyō?): This Quirk allows the user to augment the power of their muscles, changing their appearance. This Quirk was given to Wolfram to assist in his incident.[28]

Air Walk (エアウォーク Eawōku?): This Quirk is capable of allowing the user to levitate in mid-air. This Quirk was given to Lady Nagant as payment to capture Izuku.[29][30]

Unnamed Self-Destruct Quirk: This Quirk makes the user self-destruct in a big explosion. This Quirk was secretly given to Lady Nagant in case she failed in her mission.[31]

Several unnamed Quirks: All For One transferred several Quirks to fighters in the Underground Masquerade including: an electricity-based power, beast-like traits, making the user turtle-like with a spiked shell and cannon on their back, granting the user wings in place of arms, giving the user arm-scythes, making the user wolf-like, a strength enhancer, and a reptilian transformation.

Event organizers checklist - this creates a successful opportunity

Little Christmas, customer service, birthdays, farewells or any private or corporate event: enough to organize. With these easy rules of the rule of thumb, arranging an event turns from a bun to a fun adventure!

1. Plan, plan, plan

Well-designed is half-done - even for events. Especially at business events, it is important to define for whom the event will be organized and what the event is intended to achieve. In private events, it is worth starting the arrangements by thinking about the scale at which you want to celebrate.

Consider the big guidelines for the event:

· Why is the event organized and what does it want to achieve?

· Who is the event for?

· What size will the event be?

· When will the event take place?

· What kind of theme or atmosphere do you want to create for the event?

2. Assemble the auxiliaries

Don't strain and do everything alone! By assembling an organizing gang to help you, you can divide the contract into parts, and the yarns stay better in the hands of the team. It is good to have your own author for at least these tasks:

· Status: calls for tenders, status reviews, practical agreement on arrangements

· Serving: Catering selection, menu planning, competition, beverage procurement, dishes

· Invitations: invitation list planning, making and sending invitations, guest list maintenance

· Program Master: program planning, event scheduling

· Reception Committee: guest guidance in, welcome words

· You can also find help from, for example, who is looking for a suitable space for your event, which helps you manage event invitations and registrations.

3. Find the perfect event space

The choice of space is one of the most important factors in terms of both the functionality and the atmosphere of the event. The choice of event space is especially influenced by the desired location, the number of people for the event and the budget. The choice of space also sets the mood for the event: casual or formal, bohemian or urban?

Tips for choosing a mode:

· Think about the most important specs first: location, number of people, space style and budget

· Also think about what you need from the farm: is there a need for a kitchen, sauna, yard, sound system or meeting technology?

· Map the selection with several requests for quotations. From Venuu.fi, you send a request for quotation to several farms at once, and finding a vacant dream space becomes easier.

4. Get the food served

It is good to have a filling for the stomach and a moisturizer for the throat at every event. At small parties, you can do the meals yourself, or ask the people to bring a common snack and drink. For larger events, it is best to turn to Catering, as the catering service handles delicious meals, often from transport to dishes and cleaning, efficiently, without extra effort.

Please note these when serving:

· Book catering: you can easily compare and compete catering services for your event.

· Remember drinks: There are party drinks for many departures, but ordering alcohol is on the agenda for many events.

· Non-alcoholic beverages: Not everyone tastes alcohol, which is why you should invest in non-alcoholic beverages. Delicious mock tails and punches are in the darkest of the clouds and are tasted by every guest.

5. Schedule tasks

Many arrangements need to be handled in the right order and at the right time. Enable your calendar and to-do list, set reminders, and note things you care about:

Task scheduling helps:

· Doodle : Agree on common schedules with the group. Share the link with the guest group, everyone is allowed to choose from the suggested times the ones that suit them best.

· Phone memo: Throw here miscellaneous ideas, remarks, and half-accident. found interesting links and things you want to remember later

· To-do lists on paper or electronically: Download the app, make a list in Excel or on graph paper. Scratching the work done only rewards it!

6. Design a program

Keep the target audience and goal of the event in mind when planning the program! Sometimes it’s worth putting your own preferences aside and thinking about what participants in that event get excited about and like.

When choosing a program, consider:

· Whether you want an event activity , a speaker or even a band

· Make sure you have space and equipment for the program: a stage and electricity for the band, a separate corner for the photo booth, etc.

· Be open-minded: old traditions are nice, but by trying new ones, events will stay in your mind for a long time to come.

Event planning as teamwork

The Finnish summer event season is on hand again and a huge number of events are being held to the delight of holidaymakers and active visitors.

Workers made up of professionals and enthusiasts have thrown jobs in a sweat hat already during the winter frosts to enable organizers to provide a successful event experience. The audience only sees a surface scratch on the work done when they arrive at the scene and of course the work continues even after the audience leaves. Event planning is a crucial part of carrying out a successful event project. Here are some perspectives on event planning with Opens.

Opens user numbers have grown nicely and a wide variety of events are planned using Opens. The needs of users vary and the starting points are different. Likewise, event production teams are made up of different people, so it’s good to think about using Opens on an event- and user-specific basis. In event projects, planning is often done by different people depending on the project, so the situation is normal in the implementation of event productions. Here are some tips and perspectives for you to consider in your event at the planning stage:

Opens design software is well suited for different phases of an event project. At the very beginning of the event, it can be used to model implementation options. For example, an area plan is easy to sketch on a scale, even for different venues, before the final site selection. You can get all the necessary information directly from the venues that have Open Venue at their disposal. Or, alternatively, with the Open Event software, you can create the venue and its information as your own venue. At this stage of planning, it is good to pay attention to the amount of work, structures, capacity, logistics and safety required for the event.

Once you have defined the project according to, for example, time, place, type of event and target group, you can start creating a more detailed production plan. For the first steps, I would recommend building a spatial plan, budget, and schedules. These provide frames for more detailed design e.g. technology, personnel and safety.

At this point, it’s also a good idea to consider which Opens features will be enabled and what will be left out. It is often clear to include everything in the beginning and leave out what is not needed. As event planning progresses, you can edit the content of the event settings later as needed. The information is documented as it accumulates and is available for planning new events.

Who makes the plan?

In the early stages of event planning, it’s also good to think about your own team and your own skills. It’s important to think about how you work with each member of your team. The basic idea of Opens is to gather relevant event information in one place and there are several ways to produce the information.

By doing it yourself, you design and produce content for the system yourself. If you want, you can request comments from others by giving the users you want viewing rights.

By working together, you design and produce content for the system together with another person. For example, you can even visit a possible solution with a sound technician while sitting at a table or online if you have given him or her rights to the event.

Ready material to add another person will draw up the plan independently, sending you the information you add to the system.

Delegate design you give another person the right to design independently and delegate design to him. Be sure to ask him or her to update the progress of the job so that you can see directly from the control panel the percentage at which the job is going. You should also monitor what design material has been accumulated and guide the designer if necessary.

Exercising viewing rights in some cases, it also makes sense to give only viewing rights to an event plan. For example, if you have a client to whom you report on the progress of the work then you can give him viewing rights to the plan so that he can follow the progress of the plan in real time.

Utilization of old event data

You can speed up planning by copying ready-made parts of your already completed event into a new event and using them as a basis for planning. Without Opens, many organizers seem to spend quite a bit of time searching for and interpreting old event materials.

Venue information

Venue information refers to a floor plan, electrical outlets, water points and other site-related information. If the venue has created an event for you on Open Venue, all of this information is immediately ready for the event and you can directly start making an event plan. If you have Open Event software, you can request the venue to integrate with their Open Venue software and get the information for yourself from there, or you can create the venue yourself. This custom venue you create is available for all your events and you don't have to redo the information.

Remember that the more carefully an event is planned, the better the conditions are for a successful and safe event. And the information is in the possession of the event organizer in the database, so that, for example, in person exchanges, the information does not disappear with the person. Even if you yourself suddenly have to be left out of the event, another can patch up your work when the information is stored in a standardized structure in the database.

Sun for everyone and a happy summer of events!

A (long ass) guide to become a Friendly Tourist ™ in Lisbon

You know, I complain a lot about tourists and all and last night it got me thinking that there might be people out there reading these and wanting to visit Lisbon but feel self-conscious so I want to make one thing clear: we don’t hate tourists, we hate tourism as a phenomenon and the way it’s being dealt with. We also don’t hate tourists, we hate assholes. So I decided to put together a guide on how to become a friendly tourist in Lisbon.

- If you can, avoid AirBnB, although I understand for you guys it might be cheaper that way. But if you pick an Air BnB, chances are the home you’re staying in belonged to someone who got kicked out so you could stay there. So be fucking respectful. Don’t come home drunk at 3AM, don’t make any fucking noise at night. There might be children right upstairs and old people downstairs, so don’t do anything you wouldn’t want others to do to you. There are neighbors in that fucking building, people who have to go to work, so be fucking respectful.

- Be fucking nice to every worker you come across. In Portugal, whether you’re at the checkout or having your order being taken by the waitress, when these workers approach you, you’re supposed to greet them. Say “good morning”, “good evening”, or just plain “hello”. Also, finish with please, always. If you don’t, I guarantee you, you won’t be treated differently because these people can’t risk their jobs, but you’ll be labeled a cunt. Like, it costs zero. You don’t just come up to someone and say “TWO COFFEES PLEASE”. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT SAY GRACIAS.

- Don’t fucking expect people to speak your language, but they will fucking try, so don’t be a cunt about it. Here’s the thing: in the public schooling system, the average portuguese learns two languages. We are taught french and english and the majority of kids even takes a third language in high school. We understand spanish and italian enough to communicate. So we understand what you’re saying, but it doesn’t mean we can speak it. But are you really demanding that we, who already speak 3 languages, speak yours as well you fucking dildo? Also, by “we” I mean naturally the youngest generation. Older people? Not so much. People working in tourism offices are making an effort, they know way more than you and they’re not there to cater to your needs. If you see them struggling with your language, help them. Also, if you disrespect them while you’re asking for directions, I can assure you they’ll give you the wrong advice out of spite, and you deserved it.

- We’re not a tipping kind of country but: we appreciate tips. What I am saying is, any tip is extra money, so it’s welcomed, but we are not culturally taught to monetarily award someone for their good services, instead we praise them. If you do come from a country that tips a lot, you should know we don’t have a “tipping rule”. Even if you leave just a couple of coins, it’s appreciated. But if you don’t come from a tipping kind of country, don’t feel obligated to do it. What you can do is praise their work. Thank them for their kind service. Tell them they’ve made your experience better. That means a fucking lot when you work in tourism because usually yall just see us as punching bags.

- There’s a difference between Pastel de Natal and Pastel de Belém. Both are custard tarts, both have different recipes. The first one, the Nata, can be found in literally any café. The second, the Pastel de Belém, can only be found in their official factory in Belém, across the street from Jerónimos. When you get there, you will see that the queue is super fucking long but don’t worry, they’re used to it and they have an efficient system. I promise you won’t be there for longer then like, 7 minutes.

- Canned sardines are not traditional. I don’t know who came up with this bullshit but I can guarantee you it’s just marketing. Sardines ARE traditional, just NOT canned. Canned sardines were the cheap, canned food the poorest of the poor ate back during the dictatorship. Usually, a whole can was shared by a family. So it kinda makes me offended that a symbol of poverty is trending, but aigh. The sardines we do eat traditionally are roasted outside on a cooker, sort of like a barbecue. THOSE are traditional. (By the way, you want to eat THE ABSOLUTE BEST, take the ferry across the river and pick a restaurant in Cacilhas, I guarantee you that’s the best place to eat sardines).

- Just because you can see the fucking Christ right across the river, it doesn’t mean it’s right there and that you can just get there. I can’t believe I had to explain this several times to tourists, but that Christ is standing on a fucking cliff. You can take the ferry, sure, but it won’t take you there, like, this is basic knowledge, I’d assume. There’s a service that cost 20€ and lasts for 2h and it stops there for a long time, if you’re one to complain about it a lot, take that. If you don’t mind grabbing your own ass and going there yourself, take the ferry and then take the 101 Bus, last stop.

- There are three ways to get to Belém: tram, train and bus. And yes, by foot is too fucking far. Like, 1h walk far. All of them will be super fucking crowded. You might get luckier with the buses, since for some reason tourists seem to avoid them. The queue in Cais do Sodré is going to be too fucking long, and I honestly do not care one fucking second that it’s an inconvenience for your vacation because we, who depend on it to go to work, take 2h for it as well. The tram is going to be crowded and it's going to take you some 45 minutes to get there on a very bad day. Live with it. That’s the reality of the city, and this is a reality YOU created by coming here en masse, not us. So don’t fucking complain that we don’t cater to your needs because, remember, your inconvenienced holiday means hundreds of portuguese people are getting late for work and taking 4h a day in public transportation. So again, I do not give one flying fuck.

- Tram 28 is a public transportation not meant for you. You, as a tourist, fucked it up, keep that in mind. If you want to ride the traditional trams, there’s a touristic service made specifically for you that works as a hop on hop off and it does a wider route than 28. My advice is take that one, it has no thieves and you can sit down, and it’s two different routes (green tram and red tram). But if you do want to take the public one, then my advice is: take the 12 instead. If you want to get on 28, begin the route from the starting point at Estrela. It will be calmer there. If you want to go to the castle, then no, the tram isn’t the only way. Bus number 727 stops right at its door and it’s usually super empty. Take that one.

- Saint Geroge’s Castle is completely fake. Not a fucking stone in there is real. There are real ruins there, of course, but they aren’t even of a castle, they’re of an “Alcazaba”, an administrative center back when the moors were in portugal. That’s why the neighborhood next to it is called “mouraria” - the moorish neighborhood. Yes, there was a castle there from the 14th century onwards, but very little was left of that. The whole thing you’re seeing? Completely rebuilt in the 20th century. It’s even fascist propaganda in a way.

- Tuk Tuk drivers don’t know shit of what they’re talking about. The chances of them making shit up for you are like, way higher than you can imagine. You can’t comprehend the bullshit I’ve caught them telling tourists, like the Lisbon Cathedral is from the 19th century. They’re not tour guides, they’re fucking drivers. The info they’re giving you is generic and easily obtained. they’re speaking to you as a portuguese person who knows their traditions, but they don’t usually know shit about history and art because they’re not required to. So if you get on a Tuk Tuk, keep that in mind and don’t demand too much from the driver. And also, chances are they’re bullshitting you. I know one Tuk Tuk driver who is an Art History graduate and masters degree and is a great tour guide, since he’s someone I trust a lot with the history of the city, so if you really want to get on one and be real about it, hit me up and I’ll hook you up with him.

- Don’t make a fuss about the supposed “drug dealers” selling weed in broad daylight in Baixa. First of all, literally everyone in the city except you, tourists, know that what they’re selling is not drugs, it’s bay leaf squished into a powder, and I have to give it to them, their scheme is pretty fucking brilliant because it’s prompted tourists to go to the police and complain that “the drugs this guy sold me aren’t real” lmao. But this is a situation that again partly resulted out of mass tourism. So shut the fuck up because I know damn well it would take me one day to find out where I could get high in your country. And also, me as a citizen can’t do shit about it (BECAUSE THOSE AREN’T DRUGS LOL).

- Don’t be fucking unpleasant about the homeless and the beggars. Fucking really? There’s a high level of poverty in here. We’ve been saying for years but if you choose to believe your Time Out articles, then that’s not my fault. But be fucking respectful. Life isn’t cheap here, and we’re having it hard.

- Please understand, once and for all, that Fado is pretty normalized. Like, it’s fucking everywhere. Every goddamn souvenir shop you’ll walk into, it’s gonna be playing fado. Restaurants, cafés, a fucking cab, same thing. I know it’s been sold as the traditional song of the people, poor and desolate living in the streets of Alfama, but that’s not it anymore. It’s been classified as World Intangible Heritage which means an incredible effort is being made to preserve it, WHICH MEANS the amount of Fado singers has increased incredibly. So there is no “real fado experience” anymore. The real fado experience is either a) a concert, or b) a dimly lit restaurant with a guitar player and a lesser known singer.

- Be careful how much you’re being charged by the taxi drivers. If possible, don’t take a cab at the airport. If you’re moving from point A to point B WITHIN the city, you shouldn’t be paying over 10€. The starting fee is NOT 20€, it’s 3,90€. There’s a little extra added if you call a cab (instead of finding one on the streets) or take it at night. If you can, install the app My TaxiApp, the drivers there are pretty honest. Or use Uber.

- Don’t get on the Hop On Hop Off buses. Personally, I can’t see what’s so appealing about these, but there are a lot of reasons why in Lisbon they don’t particularly work: 1) traffic. You’re gonna be stuck in traffic, it doesn’t matter what time of the day you got on. 2) The waiting period. It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes for a new bus to come by, but with traffic, we don’t know, and I certainly can’t predict it, since I don’t have a fucking GPS in me. 3) The bus that goes to the Castle is much, much smaller and it fills up way quicker because double-decker buses don’t fucking fit those narrow streets. So chances are you’re gonna be there for a while waiting because they’ll keep coming full. Not my fucking problem. Take a walk instead. There’s a touristic bus called Caravel on Wheels which would be my advice for you. I worked for them, it’s a 1h45 long video tour. The audio is very well put together and explains the history of Lisbon incredibly well, and it has a shit ton of languages, and you can just ignore the goddamn video, trust me. The assistants are super nice and sweet and the driver is amazing. We made a huge effort to make sure you wouldn’t forget that experience, trust me. Also, it allows you to see the most important parts of the city and then decide what you want to see by yourself.

- Don’t disrespect the monuments. Don’t paint on walls. Don’t spit on fountains. Don’t lean on statues, don’t get close to statues, don’t even breathe on statues. Don’t fucking touch the paintings, the artworks, any fucking thing you find inside a museum. It sounds ludicrous that I have to point this out but you wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen.

- Mouraria, Alfama and Martim Moniz aren’t just the most traditional parts of Lisbon, they’re some of the most multicultural and poorest too. So don’t be a fucking racist asshole. There are indian, chinese, and sikh, among others, communities in there, including “illegal” mosques and chinese restaurants. Don’t be unpleasant to the locals. Don’t be disrespectful to the people who live there. The thing about the portuguese is we love tourists, we’re welcoming like that, IF you are nice. These people are happy to welcome you to their neighborhood, trust me, they are, but you gotta be respectful.

- Avoid eating at Rua dos Correeiros. If you don’t know what street that is, it’s the only one in the entire fucking Lisbon where every fucking restaurant will have a guy holding a menu approaching you and BEGGING you to eat there, and I mean every single one. Most of those restaurants are most likely schemes and one in particular, Made in Correeiros, has made the news for convincing tourists to come in while holding a menu where they show prices ranging from 10 to 20€ and then inside suggest something that is at the end of the menu (but they will make sure you won’t see it) and it turns out a dish of salmon costs 500€. That whole street is made of shit like that and not a single one of them is traditional in the least, don’t let them convince you they are because they have a bitoque and bacalhau à brás, those are dishes that any portuguese with half a brain can cook, so walk away.

- Don’t be fucking rude to the bus drivers, and I mean every bus driver, whether it’s touristic bus or city bus, cause they are not required to speak your fucking language. There are a million different tourist offices where you can ask for help. Have your money ready when you enter the bus or recharge your Viva card at the subway. A bus fare is 1,80€ within any point in the city.

- And don’t be fucking rude to the vendors. They don’t control traffic. Especially resellers who don’t represent one company but rather sell several companies, don’t yell at them. They don’t control traffic and they don’t control the bus routes. Explain to them you are disappointed by the service and they will take a note and I can guarantee you they will inform the company about the delay/problem and will exchange your money. They don’t think any less of you and they understand you, as long as you’re nice about it.

- And don’t complain to them the city is disappointing! I don’t give a rat’s ass that Barcelona was more beautiful, go to fucking Barcelona and shut up.

- Don’t walk around with 100€ bills. Use 50€ bills for large purchases only. Most vendors aren’t even allowed to accept 100€ due to couterfit problems. Exchange your money at the appropriate place. Don’t fucking buy 3€ worth of fridge magnets with a 100€ bill like I’ve witnissed, come on. That’s common sense.

- Things that ARE good, traditional souvenirs: porcelain magnets with sardines, tiles, bits of history and the black swallows you see everywhere. Bottles of wine, especially Port, too. Tawny being the best brand. Make sure it’s from Porto/Douro. The bags of salt if they come from Aveiro, otherwise I wouldn’t trust it. The famous red, green, blue or black scarves you see with floral motifs and fringes I guess can be considered traditional too, but be aware that 1) they’re mostly cheap imitations (the realest ones are really expensive) and 2) they’re traditional from way up north like, above Porto even. That’s a part of a very traditional outfit of a very specific region, linked to very specific traditions. Small portuguese guitars are pretty cute. Avoid the cork shit. Cork used to be our main export, now it isn’t and most of that crap I don’t even think it’s made here, it’s just a brand, but someone correct me if I’m wrong. Although the cork postcards are cute. Little stuff like notebooks, postcards and bookmarkers with Fado on it is cute too. A Vida Portuguesa is a store you’ll come across in Baixa that sells shit that looks cute and Art Neauveu-sy that recreates old stuff from the 40s and 50s.

- Things that aren’t traditional at all: canned sardines. Anything being sold on the streets. Certainly not the peruvian CDs on Terreiro do Passo.

- No, you won’t find random postmarks on the streets where you can slip in your postcards. There are a few, but are very scarce. There’s a post office in Restauradores, use that. You can usually buy stamps at any souvenir-looking shop or anything store that says “Casa da Sorte”.

- The green card you use for transportation is good for everything but you need to charge it either with money for all or in the appropriate machines that will give you the specific ticket you’re looking for.

- If you walk inside ANY restaurant or whatever and ask for a cup of coffee, this is what you’ll get. If you want a larger coffee a bit watered down, ask for an abatanado. Or go to Starbucks. A garoto is a strong espresso with a bit of milk, served in an espresso cup. A galão is basically the same, but in a taller glass that will, for 99% of the time, look like this, and the milk is stirred until it forms foam, like a cappuccino without the chocolate. So be specific about what you want. Our coffee is very strong. Ask the waiters, they’re used to the confusion, don’t worry.

- Here’s an important thing to you if you’re stopping by during a cruise: no, you can’t fucking visit the whole city in one day. The city is way bigger than you’re thinking it is. You can’t see it all in 5h. So pick wisely. Here’s how to pick it: Oriente is the modern part of the city, the main attraction is the Aquarium (Oceanário). Belém is the historical part, where most of the main monuments are. Downtown Lisbon is the place you can walk to and discover by foot. If you’re strict on mobility, a Tuk Tuk is the perfect choice.

- Maybe this is kind of asking too much out of a tourist, but it would be great if you had any fucking clue what Lisbon even has. Don’t just stand in Rossio looking puzzled and ask me where the famous tiles are. You should at least know you’re thinking of fucking Porto, which is some 300km away. The worst question you can ask touristic vendors is “so what can you do in this city?” bitch I don’t know. Make your goddamn research. You like art? Here’s a list: Berardo Museum (contemporary). Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (from 14th to the 18th century and colonial art). Azulejo museum (those famous blue tiles). MAAT (contemporary art, also a nice overview of the city). Gulbenkian (antiquity to the 19th century and also a modern art center, a beautiful museum with amazing gardens). The Fado Museum. You want history? Here’s another list: anything in Belém, you don’t have to pay for the tickets even, the tower is not that interesting anyway and you can visit the church of Jerónimos for free, it’s the whole monastery complex you have to pay for. Church of São Roque for the prime example of baroque. The Lisbon cathedral. The Church of Saint Vincent. Estrela Basilica. Ajuda Palace. I don’t know what else, at the top of my head, these are probably the most important.

- The train to Sintra is in Rossio train station, which is NOT physically connected to the subway station. Stop asking me.

- Sintra, Cabo da Roca and Queluz are outside of Lisbon. Yes, you have to get on a train. I don’t care if it’s an inconvenience, I didn’t fucking build it.

- No, the beaches are not exactly in Lisbon. The ones that kinda are, you go to Cais do Sodré, you get on a train and get off at Oeiras or something. Ask someone there. The other ones are around Sintra or across the river. If you want to go across the river to Caparica, there’s a service that costs 10€, picks you up in the morning, takes you back in the afternoon. If you think that’s expensive and decide to go there on your own, then be prepared to pay a lot more and have the worst bus ride of your life. I’ve been riding TST buses my whole life, you have no idea the shit hole they are. Pay for quality, it’s worth it.

- No, you can’t get to Freeport by bus. It will take you too long and cost you a fortune. Pay 10€ for the shuttle. It’s way less than any other means.

- No, you can’t take a cab to Fátima. It’s 127km. Also, don’t take the train there. The train station is 30km away from the city. Take a bus. Rede Expresso is your friend. You can charge your fucking phone in that bus! Also you have wifi.

- Yes, you can walk around holding a cup or a bottle of beer on the streets, nobody cares. Just don’t litter. Throw that fucking thing in the garbage, don’t be a pig.

- No, the guys wearing a black outfit with a cape are not celebrating Hogwarts. That’s a joke someone started that caught on. I never actually thought people would believe it, yet here we are. They’re just university students getting drunk lmao. If you want cheap booze, follow them.

- Just overall be kind, don’t bump into people on the streets, don’t stall, smile and say thank you and good morning/evening/whatever. Remember: say obrigado if you’re a man, obrigada if you’re a woman. We don’t care that your portuguese is shit, we love that you tried and that you ask how we say things. We also don’t care that you’re actually speaking brasilian portuguese. We love that you went through the effort.

- Portuguese people greet with a kiss on each cheek. A handshake is something more business-like. If you don’t like being touched, stay away and wave, we’ll get the message. But if you happen to meet an old lady, then you’re on your own, your cheeks are getting pinched, I can’t save you.

- We’re also incredibly loud. No, we’re not constantly fighting, we’re brutes towards each other. That’s how we show love. Don’t make a point of it.

- But remember: this city isn’t the hip, cheap, hot-spot you’ve been sold. It will look like that if you just wander around Baixa and Alfama and Mouraria, where mostly students and foreigners are. But that is not the reality. The “tradition” you’ve been sold, that supposedly lives in Alfama, practically doesn’t exist anymore. Any story that says “traditional” in it, I can guarantee you is not. The best restaurants are the corner tascas that smell of cooked potatoes and grilled beef. If the owner of a restaurant is fat, the restaurant is good, trust me this is a mnemonic that works. ‘

- Don’t act superior, don’t act like you know this city better because you’ve been here before or because you have portuguese friends. Or because you read this post lmao. Certainly, don’t walk up to tourist vendors and try to convince them YOU know more about traditions in their country than they do, like I’ve had people do with me. Cause you don’t lmao.

Add anything you might think is necessary and sorry for the long ass post

What’s the Best Leverage for you?

INTRODUCTION

Let’s figure out what is the best leverage level for a beginner. Many newbies are attracted to the leverage-based earning strategy as they want to make more money in a short period of time.

However, remember that leverage is associated with certain risks. You need to at least understand the concepts that are directly related to money management in leveraged trading, such as:

Balance and Equity of your account;

Margin;

Free margin;

Account Level;

Margin Call and Stop Out.

Benefits of leverage use

First, let’s take a look at the benefits of leverage for a novice trader:

1. Chance of making super high profits

Using leverage on Forex gives traders the opportunity to increase their initial investment in order to play big.

Best leverage ratio example

For example, a trader who has only 1 thousand dollars on their account can actually trade on the Forex market with 50 thousand dollars with a leverage of 1:50 or 100 thousand dollars using a leverage of 1:100. Simply put, this trader risks losing 1,000 dollars of their own funds, but if successful, will receive a profit of $100,000 if the position was opened at 100% margin and the leverage 1:100.

2. Improving capital efficiency

For example, if your account balance is $1000 and you use a leverage of 1:100, you will in fact have 100,000 USD to manage. This means you have the opportunity to open more trades in various trading instruments and apply hedging techniques for additional protection against risks .This allows you to diversify your portfolio, reduce risks, and increase the chances of making a profit.

3. Low entry level

Let’s look at this advantage using the previous example – you have 1,000 dollars on your account. Let’s say that you don’t use leverage, i.e. you trade 1:1.

Under these conditions, at best, you will be able to open one position with a minimum lot of 0.01, and not even on the EUR/USD pair.

This is because on Forex one lot is usually 100,000 currency units. In other words, to open a minimum position in one of the most traded pairs on the Forex market – EURUSD – you need 100,000 * 0.01 * 1.17470 = 1,174.70 USD.

With 1,000 dollars on your account and no leverage, you will not have the opportunity to open even such a small position. However, thanks to the large leverage, even people with a small deposit of 50-100 dollars have a chance to access the art of trading and trade on a par with professionals.

4. Favorable financial conditions

Before, when brokers provided no leverage, the only opportunity to trade with leverage was borrowing a very limited amount of funds from the Bank at high-interest rates, huge collaterals and guarantees.

In the face of serious competition, Forex brokers provide large leverage to attract clients with a very small amount of the deposit and with minimal commissions. If you trade intraday, using leverage will be almost free. If you decide to carry the trade overnight, take SWAP into account – it’s the broker’s overnight commission.

The deposit growth of the high risk traders can easily reach up to 300-500% profitability per month, which is much higher than in any bank.

5. Convenience

It is important to understand that the main income of a decent broker comes from the commissions for opening trades, SWAPs and spreads. Therefore, it is very important for a broker that each client uses their services as long as possible, achieves success in trading and becomes rich. A decent broker does not need you to drain your entire deposit and swear to never trade on Forex again.

Therefore, in a highly competitive environment, Forex brokers provide an opportunity to choose leverage on favorable terms at low interest rates, a flexible tariff schedule, and minimal commissions. Often reputable brokers even offer the personal manager services. A personal manager will help you understand all the nuances, choose the optimal leverage and balance your trading strategy.

6. Security

You’ve probably heard about Margin Call. Many traders are scared breathless of these two words. But in fact, this function is designed to protect your deposit. Unfortunately, it often happens that novice traders misjudge their risks. When it becomes obvious to the broker that the chance of you losing your deposit is high, they call or send you an auto-message about the need to replenish your balance to cover high risks.

Sometimes negligent traders forget about leverage and the obligations associated with it. As a result of unreasonable trading, they can turn into the debtors of the company. To avoid this, use the services of brokers that guarantee zero balance in case of liquidation of trade. Thanks to this feature, you will never lose more than what you have on your balance.

WHAT IS THE BEST LEVERAGE FOR YOU?

So, what’s left for beginners who are advised to use a 1:10 leverage but don’t have $10,000 and want to trade successfully, making money now?

Decide on your trading style. Are you going to actively trade intraday or catch medium-term trends? Or maybe you would like to collect a portfolio and forget about it for a while? I hope that it is clear from the material described above – the longer the horizon of trades, the larger size of the deposit is needed.

It is very important to study theory and the market in which you are going to trade. You absolutely need to master basic technical analysis. Understand the specifics of the market – news, reports, multipliers, indicators and other factors that can influence the price of your favorite instrument.

Trade only with the money you are mentally ready to lose. It may sound old-fashioned but it’s true! Following this rule, you will relieve yourself of unnecessary stress and trade with calm confidence.

Feel free to seek advice from more experienced colleagues. It’s okay to ask questions, but it’s important to do it right. Try to ask closed-ended questions with a yes-or-no answer. Such questions require preparation and effort, which will give you the right answer in 80% of cases.

If you realize you cannot spend enough time for active trading but you want to invest, the solution can be in social trading, where you copy other experienced traders . Choosing a real professional is an entire science and I would need a separate article for this. But do not trust the entire deposit to one manager. Share risks between different traders.

Do not use the entire margin for one trade. Better to have 100 different positions with a minimum lot of 0.01 than one trade with a lot size of 1.

Remember to use stop loss! Do not allow the loss on one position to exceed 2% of the deposit.

Don’t stop perfecting your risk management system. Determine the maximum allowable risk for the amount of open positions. Monitor compliance with the risks for each position. Keep track of the account level. Avoid stop out.

Do not open a position without a predetermined trading plan. Identify the entry-level, take profit and stop loss, the signal for increasing the position and the signal for exiting the market.

Keep a trader’s journal! Write down trade parameters, entry and exit signals, even the emotional state when entering and exiting the market. Keeping a journal will make trading more mindful and provide a basis for introspection and learning from your own mistakes.

Overall best leverage for Forex with Examples

As we have seen, the best leverage ratio on Forex is a relative term. In addition, this tool must be used with care. Using too high a leverage can either bring incredible profits or ruin the trader.

The best leverage for Forex trading depends on the capital at the trader’s disposal. It is believed that a ratio of 1:100 to 1:200 is the best leverage for Forex. In this case, a trader can get tangible benefits from margin trading, provided correct risk management. A leverage of 1:100 means that with $500 in the account, a trader can open trades with a total volume of $50,000, which is the optimal amount to start trading on the foreign exchange market. At the same time, it is vitally important to follow your own risk management rules, not to abuse free margin and always keep a reserve of funds for potential closing of all open positions by stop loss in order to avoid early liquidation of active trades.

Conclusion

Leverage is a progressive tool for traders to achieve good results. The obvious advantage of using leverage is that you can make a lot of money with only a limited amount of capital. However, it is impossible to choose the best leverage to use in Forex for both beginners and professional participants. This choice largely depends on the starting balance, trading strategy and the chosen risk management model. At the same time, the best Forex leverage is considered to be 1:100. This is a compromise between sufficient purchasing power and the risks of automatic liquidation of positions by Stop Out. This leverage ratio is favored by both beginners and experienced traders. However, one should always remember about the risks that high leverage carries.
