the amount of math i put into figuring out my PTO is honestly so funny. i've probably spent like 2 hours this week and last week just playing with the leave calculator spreadsheet my coworker gave me. this morning i added a sheet for 2026 so now i'm calculating my PTO out that far. i basically already have a plan of how i'm taking time off for 2025 so as to maximize my time off in 2026. i dont think this is a normal level of attention to detail but at least i'm having fun
#(at my job i can accrue a certain amount of PTO that then becomes 'use or lose' because only so much carries over each year)#so by the mythical year 2026 i could in fact end up with 121 hours of use or lose by the end of it#aka i am Forced to take off 15 days (121 hrs) that year or it'll just be wiped#oh dear oh no! however could i manage to take 15 days off! <- DESPERATELY wants to be in this position as soon as possible#my issue is that i keep taking too much time off so i havent hit the maximum cap yet lmao#like if i just chilled out i could reach it next year#but chilling out is not in my vocabulary. i have places to go and people to see#therefore i cannot reach use or lose in 2025 BUT i can reach it in 2026....if i don't end up spending too much of what i accrue first#so i have vauge plans next year that havent solidified and i keep trying out stuff to see how many hours it would leave me with#historically my methods of maximizing time are:#1) work a flexible schedule with 9 hour days one pay period in order to get a day off for 'free' (this is how i'll get black friday off)#2) work over time and bank those hours as 'credit' time. i can have up to 24 hours/3 days worth of that stored#(i can easily do this long term by just like. working an extra hour every week and it'll add up lol)#3) receiving a time off award if management loves me enough (i normally get a free 8 hours award each year but i can't bet on this)#4) earning travel comp time by working overtime via work travel (such as your flight getting in at 8 pm or whatever)#5) earning normal comp time by attending a work event outside of normal hours (i.e. that time i worked on saturday)#these are all ways to get time off without dipping into PTO so that i can let the PTO accumulate#......as you can see i'm Very normal about this

Asking you as someone who knows a lot about Stupid Dice Tricks - what's the simplest way to get a one-tailed distribution using conventional dice? (i.e. numbers from, say, 1 to 5-ish are fairly common, but there's a small-but-nontrivial chance of ending up with results up in the 20s and 30s)
"Simplest" is subjective, but the most conventional way of doing that involves "exploding dice", a dice-rolling method in which each die is read as its face value for any non-maximal result, but when rolling the maximum possible value, another die (typically of the same size) is rolled and added to the initial result. For example, an exploding d6 might roll a 6, then a 6, then a 3, for a total result of 15 on 1d6.
While straightforward, this method has the issue that certain results are impossible; for example, you can never roll exactly 6 on an exploding standard d6, since the minimum result of the additional roll is 1. This has historically been addressed in several ways:
Rolling with a base of zero rather than one. This is most commonly done with d10s, since a standard d10 is already numbered 0 through 9, though it can also be achieved with other die sizes either using non-standard dice (e.g., a d6 with faces numbered 0 through 5 rather than 1 through 6), or by reading a standard die in such a way as to produce equivalent results (e.g., reading the 6 on an exploding d6 as 0, with the exploding result occurring on a 5). This approach avoids unrollable values, but has the drawback that the extra roll sometimes does nothing, which can feel anticlimactic.
Treating the value of the exploding result as equal to that of the highest possible non-exploding result; under this method, rolling a 6 on an exploding d6 would be treated as "5 + reroll" rather than "6 + reroll". This avoids both unrollable values and rerolls that do nothing, but in my experience, a lot of players just can't get their heads around it, and will always forget to read that 6 as a 5, no matter how many times they're reminded.
This technique can also be adapted to "hit-counting" dice pools; for example, rolling a number of d6s, counting each die which rolls 4+ as one "hit", and additionally rolling an extra die for each die which rolls a 6. This is broadly equivalent to variation 1, above, and suffers from similar drawbacks.
Apart from exploding dice, other reasonably popular approaches include various "dice poker" methods, in which a number of (typically identical) dice are rolled, with the result ordinarily being read as the highest single value, except that certain combinations of numbers are assigned special values. One of the simplest variants involves the summing of doubles, triples, etc.. For example, rolling 3d6 and getting results of 2, 4 and 5 would be read as 5, but a result of 2, 5, and 5 would be read as 10; however, a result of 2, 2, and 5 would still read as 5, since the sum of the double is lower than the highest single. Alternatively, the dice can be read so that all doubles beat all singles, all triples beat all doubles, etc., for a more truly poker-like distribution of results, though this can make assigning target numbers tricky.
A notable twist on the above is the "place-value" dice roll, in which the die's face value is read as the "ones" place, and the number of dice showing that value as the "tens" place. This is typically done with d10s to keep the place values intuitive; for example, rolling 5d10 and getting results of 2, 3, 3, 7 and 9 would be read as a result of 23. Hybridised with hit-counting dice pools, the place-value method becomes the One Roll Engine's "width x height" method of reading the dice, which is definitely worth checking out if you want to delve deeper into this topic.
(An important distinction between exploding dice and dice poker/place-value methods in the particular context of dice pools of variable size is that it's always possible, if increasingly unlikely, to make a roll where nothing explodes, but beyond a certain point, "exceptional" results on a dice poker/place-value roll become inevitable. For example, with a pool of 7d6 it's impossible not to roll at least doubles!)

Hello!
Here Fouché is often drawn having red hair and blue eyes. Are there any official sources on his physical appearance that confirm he really had these features?
Hello to you too! Thank you so much for this question and for giving me another opportunity to yap about my favourite man. ♥
Indeed, this description has become predominant and even inspired the most exquisite Fouché fanarts I know, starting with michel-feuilly's masterpieces, which are my personal favorites and deserve more visibility.
As for the historical sources, some people in the frevblr and napoblr pointed out the existence of this portrait (third image, with Carnot's) but no author or date is associated with it and as far as I know, it's nowhere to be found other than in this article, so I'd rather not state with certainty that Fouché is the one depicted here.
In fact, sources that describe Fouché as a redhead are… quite rare, actually.
First of all, there are Barras' Mémoires, and I believe it's here that this description of red hair was first noticed by the frev/napoleonic era fandom. It should be noted that they were published after his death, and we can't even be sure that it was actually him who even wrote them. And even if he did, we shouldn't necessarily trust everything he says, because, well… it's Barras. Anyway, when it comes to Fouché, he describes :
“[Fouché's] tiny red-rimmed eyes, which had given him for me the nickname of the Red Partridge, [which] were even redder, smaller and veiled than usual”
But he doesn't specify whether his eyes are blue or not. Further on, he mentions :
“[...] his ugly wife called the ‘virtuous woman’, her child red-haired and ugly like them”
The child to whom he refers here is not Nièvre, as I have read in some posts, but Evelina Fouché, his second daughter, born in January 1795 and deceased in July 1796, for Nièvre was no longer alive by the time of the Thermidorian Convention/early Directory, and it is at this point in his life that Fouché is described.
Of his many biographers, only Stefan Zweig describes him with “russet eyebrows”, and for many reasons, including his refusal to substantiate his biographies with a single damn source and his lack of mastery of the historical method, I don't give this author any credit.
And then… that's it. Or, well, I've found other physical descriptions of Fouché, but he appears more as… blondish?
For example, his biographer Emmanuel de Waresquiel pictures Fouché as follows: “He has a glabrous face half eaten with freckles, very pale, of a waxy and livid pallor, almost diaphanous, down to the hair of a bland blond, bleached as are those of albinos.” (Fouché, les silences de la pieuvre, Chapter 4: “Vous tremblez devant l'ombre d'un roi”)
Maxime du Camp, too young to have seen Fouché with his own eyes, describes him in the dusk of his life, in 1820 during his exile in Prague in Souvenirs d'un demi-siècle :
“Emaciated, wrapped in a blanket, with his yellow hair, his white eyebrows, his weak albino eyes, he looked like a ghost ready to disappear.”
Lastly, there's a description in the Mémoires of Mathieu Molé, who knew him during his lifetime and even met him at several occasions :
“His whole person reflects the passions that agitated his life; his height is tall, his limbs spindly, his fiber dry, his movements very swift, his physiognomy fiery, his features thin, his eyes scratched and piercing, his hair those of an albino; something fierce, elegant and agile makes him look like a panther”.
Then there's the problem of Fouché's pictorial representations. Most of those were probably not made during his lifetime. His two best-known paintings are currently part of the collections of the Versailles Castle (where they are not on display, much to my regret. And the curators refused to show them to me when I was begging on my knees. Rude people). The first, Claude Dubufe's painting of Fouché in 1809 dressed in his Duke of Otranto clothes, was allegedly commissioned by Fouché's children after his death, but we don't even know its date, and according to an article by the art historian Jérémie Benoît, it was painted by another artist, René Berthon, then recuperated and extensively retouched: “the whole background was repainted, hiding a drapery and some furniture”. Once again, I can't prove anything, even if it's true that this black background, as if something were hidden inside, gives this painting a rather strange mystery. We don't know either who painted this one, and for this one, we suspect the portraitist Marie-Thérèse de Noireterre, who even painted two representations of him.
Then there's my favorite of all: this engraving in Henri Buisson's biography of Fouché, which is said to have been made in 1798 and bears a striking resemblance to all the descriptions above, not to mention the fact that he looks like he has blond (or red!) hair :

But I can give you my theory : maybe Barras doesn't describe Fouché as a redhead because he has red hair, but for more philosophical, more symbolic reasons, linked to the way in which the figure of the redhead was represented in art, literature and overall the public imagination :
Aaaaand, that's all I know about it.
In conclusion, I can't assert anything with certainty when it comes to Chéché's hair and eyes colour. I am sorry if this long answer is a disappointment. :(
“Certainly, throughout the Middle Ages, to be ginger was still, as in Antiquity, to be cruel, bloody, ugly, inferior or ridiculous; but over time it became primarily to be false, cunning, a liar, a deceiver, disloyal, perfidious or a renegade. To the traitors and felons of literature and iconography, already mentioned, are added the discredited gingers of didactic works, encyclopedias, books on manners and, above all, proverbs.” (Michel Pastoureau, Une Histoire Symbolique du Moyen-Âge)
This vision of things was particularly true in ancient and medieval times, but it's not implausible to suppose that it continued to exist in people's thoughts as well as in art (Cabanel's 1847 painting The Fallen Angel depicts Lucifer with red hair).
But again, this is just one of my theories, and unfortunately I can't read Barras' mind to verify the veracity of my hypotheses.
Still, I think it would be interesting to discuss it together, and ask if any of you have found other physical descriptions of Fouché that would help us shed more light on this mystery!

Sorry to bother you, how can I draw realistic paintings about frev?😢
Thanks for the question!! (I love answering he he)
I'm sorry for being late in answering. I wanted to make it as detailed as possible (how I usually do it step by step), and hope it can be useful and helpful as a tutorial, it doesn't mean it's the best method, you can always do what suits you better.
First of all, I take as reference a lot of images of the historical character that I am going to draw. In the case of Robespierre, there is a lot of documentation and images of how he looked like. Even Deseine's bust help me a lot.
(Thanks @silver-whistle and @monimarat for this photographies❤️)
Thanks @perfectlysweatypanda ❤️
*I always try to make the character as realistic as possible
Second, I look at the features which are similar in every image I have consulted. There are always patterns which are repeated. Even, if the artists of that time painted him in different ways (it often happens with DTIYS currently)
For example, the most noticeable features would be:
-the shape of the nose
-The shape of the jaw, square and angular
-the shape and position of the eyes (a little almond-shaped *with a feline look)
-the lips in almost all images are thin and straight
-broad and clear forehead with some wrinkles
-Square head (fun fact: typical for Earth zodiac signs)
-rounded eyebrows…

Then I look at the written descriptions of the people of that time and their contemporaries. I try to make sure they are reliable sources.
The ones, which are repeated the most, are not always the most accurate (be careful with it, look closely the images you have previously searched for to get it)
Then I usually make the baselines of the bone structure that it usually has:

I determine the position of the eyes, mouth and nose of the face with the basic lines:

Second, searching the clothes and suits of that time:
As explained above, look at a lot of images and references about how the clothes were.
Written references about how our character used to wear. Maxime’s shake: dark suits (black) earthy colours or basic (Supreme Being celebration was an exception). It seems they like stripes on suits.
🤩Tip! You can look at the suits on frev films.
They have usually got a lot of information out it and you can watch different angles to draw it better.
Some examples:
La révolution française Robert Enrico
Un peuple et son roi Pierre Schoeller
Danton 1983
You can also draw accessories (I’ve just realised I forgot to draw the pocket watch 😱⏱️)
Before I search for a pose that I like and it could fit with the character (or I do it on Clip, with the 3D movement dolls)
Important!!! (^.^)
Look at the side of the historical character. In the case of Robespierre measures 1.6 meters.
As a plus, if you want to draw a background, look at different set ups of that time, such as Duplay's house, or even on video games like Assassins Unity. They help me a lot.
I think you can draw realistic frev characters images with these steps.😉
I want to watch them.💖💖💖💖🎨🎨🎨
I hope it helps you and if you have any questions I would be pleased to answer.🤩
I like when people ask me.😁

How Franchise Sales Brokers Evaluate and Position Your Brand for Maximum Buyer Interest
Selling a franchise isn’t just about putting a price tag on a business—it’s about presenting a compelling story of value, potential, and trust. For business owners asking, “Should I use a broker to sell my franchise?” the answer often lies in the benefits of professional expertise. Working with experienced franchise sales brokers ensures your brand is not only positioned for maximum interest but also evaluated and marketed with strategic precision.
The First Step: Objective, Data-Driven Evaluation
A successful franchise sale begins with an accurate and defensible valuation. Unlike general small business transactions, franchise businesses require a more nuanced assessment. Franchise sales brokers start by analyzing the franchisor-franchisee agreement, historical financials, operational systems, and the brand's market presence.
Brokers such as those at Quantum Business Brokers use local market data, comparable sales, and sector-specific benchmarks to determine the fair market value. This isn’t guesswork—it’s a deliberate, methodical process designed to inspire confidence from both seller and buyer. Understanding what buyers are likely to pay—and why—helps eliminate time wasted on unrealistic pricing.
The valuation process may also consider the support structure offered by the franchisor, existing brand equity, recurring revenue models, and location advantages. By aligning all of these factors with current demand and economic conditions, the broker creates a clear picture of value rooted in data, not emotion.
Strategic Positioning to Match the Right Buyer
Once a value has been established, the next step is packaging the business in a way that resonates with potential buyers. This includes preparing professional marketing materials, highlighting key strengths, and identifying what makes the franchise stand out.
Franchise sales brokers are highly skilled at tailoring this messaging to different types of buyers. Whether it's a corporate executive seeking a career change or a seasoned investor looking to expand a portfolio, effective positioning ensures your business appeals to the right audience.
For example, Quantum Business Brokers leverages its understanding of buyer psychology and industry trends to market franchises directly to qualified prospects. They use performance indicators, brand narratives, and growth potential to attract buyers who are not only interested but financially capable of closing the deal.
Marketing That Reaches the Right Audience
One of the most impactful contributions a broker can make to sell my franchise can make is in creating targeted marketing campaigns. These campaigns are not just posted on generic listing sites—they are distributed to a curated network of vetted buyers, industry professionals, and franchise investors.
Franchise sales brokers understand where and how to promote your franchise. Through strategic channels such as business-for-sale marketplaces, email outreach, private networks, and franchise expos, your opportunity is put in front of serious, qualified leads. The goal is to minimize time on the market while maximizing visibility to the right pool of buyers.
In addition, brokers maintain confidentiality throughout the process, ensuring your staff, customers, and competitors remain unaware of the pending sale until the appropriate time. This discretion helps protect your business’s operational stability and reputation during the transition phase.
Screening Buyers to Ensure a Smooth Process
While generating interest is important, ensuring that interest is genuine is critical. Franchise sales brokers play a key role in screening buyers for financial readiness, operational capability, and cultural fit. By weeding out unqualified or unserious parties, brokers help reduce delays and avoid disruptions.
Screened buyers understand what’s expected financially, operationally, and contractually. That clarity prevents misunderstandings and helps ensure smoother negotiations. The broker’s role includes presenting the business opportunity, arranging meetings, facilitating due diligence, and guiding both parties through the closing process.
Professionals like those at Quantum Business Brokers rely on tried-and-tested processes to assess buyers, making sure they meet franchisor requirements and align with the seller’s goals. Their ability to bridge the gap between parties saves time and enhances deal flow.
Structuring and Negotiating for Maximum Value
Even with a great buyer, negotiations can be challenging. Brokers bring a balanced, professional perspective to the table—ensuring that offers are fair, aligned with valuation, and structured to benefit both sides. They help sellers navigate deal terms, manage contingencies, and protect their interests without sabotaging the transaction.
Everything from payment terms to transition periods and training commitments is negotiated thoughtfully. The broker's ability to interpret and convey financial, legal, and operational details ensures the deal is not only sound but also sustainable.
In many cases, experienced franchise brokers also coordinate with lenders to assist with SBA loan approvals or other financing options, making the purchase more accessible and appealing to buyers.
Post-Sale Transition and Support
A successful sale doesn’t end at signing. Franchise sales brokers often assist with transition planning, ensuring the new owner is adequately trained and supported. This stage is essential in franchising, where a strong onboarding process helps maintain brand integrity and operational performance.
Supportive brokers maintain communication between franchisors and new owners, helping to iron out any early-stage issues and paving the way for a successful long-term relationship. Sellers, meanwhile, can move forward with peace of mind, knowing that their legacy continues under capable new ownership.
Conclusion: Maximize Success with Expert Guidance
Choosing a broker to sell my franchise is more than hiring a middleman—it’s a strategic decision to elevate your brand’s value, visibility, and appeal. With the expertise of trusted franchise sales brokers, sellers can expect data-driven valuation, targeted marketing, thorough buyer vetting, and expert deal negotiation. The result is a smooth, profitable exit and a transaction that reflects the years of effort poured into building the business. For franchise owners preparing to take their next step, working with the right broker ensures that step is taken with clarity, confidence, and success.

Understanding the Mathematics Behind a Neuron: Applications in the Financial Market
By Adriano
Introduction
Artificial intelligence, especially through neural networks, has revolutionized various sectors, including the financial market. Understanding the mathematics behind an artificial neuron not only sheds light on how these technologies function but also on how they can be applied to optimize operations with assets listed on stock exchanges around the world.
The Mathematics of a Neuron
An artificial neuron is a basic unit of a neural network, designed to mimic, in a simplified way, the behavior of biological neurons. Here are the main mathematical components:
Inputs: Each neuron receives a set of inputs, denoted by x_1, x_2, ..., x_n.
Weights: Each input is multiplied by a weight w_1, w_2, ..., w_n, which determines the relative importance of each input.
Weighted Sum: The weighted sum of these inputs is calculated as:z = \sum_{i=1}^n w_i x_i + bwhere b is the bias, a constant value added to adjust the neuron's activation.
Activation Function: This sum is then passed through an activation function, f(z), which decides whether the neuron "fires" or not. Common functions include:
Sigmoid: f(z) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-z}}
ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit): f(z) = \max(0, z)
Tanh: f(z) = \tanh(z)
Applications in the Financial Market
Asset Price Prediction Neural networks can be trained to predict future prices of stocks or other financial assets. Using time series market data like historical prices, trading volume, and economic indicators, a model can learn complex, non-linear patterns that are hard to capture with traditional methods. I base my strategies on market movement predictions, using these models to anticipate trends and adjust my positions accordingly.
Risk Management Understanding weights and biases in neurons helps evaluate the sensitivity of predictive models to different market variables, allowing for better risk management. Tools like sensitivity analysis or VaR (Value at Risk) calculation can be enhanced with insights from neural networks. My approach involves constantly adjusting my strategy to minimize potential losses based on these predictions.
Portfolio Optimization Neurons can assist in building optimized portfolios, where each asset is weighted according to its potential return and risk. The mathematics behind neurons allows for dynamically adjusting these weights in response to new market information. I use neural networks to optimize my portfolio composition, ensuring an allocation that maximizes risk-adjusted return.
Fraud and Anomaly Detection In a globalized market, detecting anomalies or fraudulent activities is crucial. Neurons can be trained to recognize typical behavior patterns and signal when deviations occur. I also employ these techniques for fraud detection, monitoring transactions and trading patterns that might indicate suspicious activities or market manipulation.
Challenges and Considerations
Complexity and Transparency: Neural networks can be "black boxes," where the final decision is hard to interpret. This is particularly problematic in the financial market, where transparency is valued.
Overfitting: Neurons might adjust too closely to training data, losing the ability to generalize to new data.
Data Requirements: Models need large volumes of data to be effective, which can be an issue for less liquid assets or emerging markets.
Conclusion
The mathematics of neurons opens up a vast field of possibilities for the financial market, from market movement prediction to fraud detection. However, the application of these technologies should be done cautiously, considering the challenges of interpretability and data requirements. Combining mathematical knowledge with a deep understanding of the financial context is essential to fully leverage the potential of neural networks in the global capital market. My strategies are built on this foundation, always seeking the best performance and security in operations.

AI and Predictive Policing: The Future of Law Enforcement
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing numerous industries, and law enforcement is no exception. Predictive policing, which uses AI to analyze data and forecast criminal activity, is emerging as a transformative tool for enhancing public safety. By analyzing patterns and trends, law enforcement agencies can allocate resources more strategically, potentially preventing crimes before they occur. While the concept holds significant promise, it also raises critical ethical and operational challenges.
From my perspective as an observer of the intersection between technology and public policy, I’ll explore how AI is shaping the future of law enforcement, its benefits, the concerns it raises, and the steps needed to ensure its responsible use.
Understanding Predictive Policing
Predictive policing leverages AI algorithms to process historical crime data and predict where and when crimes are likely to happen. This predictive capability enables law enforcement agencies to preemptively deploy officers to areas identified as potential crime hotspots.
The technology analyzes variables such as past crime reports, time of day, and socioeconomic factors. For example, if a specific area has a history of burglaries during the evening, predictive policing tools can recommend increased patrols during that time frame. This data-driven approach allows for a proactive response, contrasting with the traditional reactive methods that rely on responding to crimes after they occur.
Applications of AI in Law Enforcement
AI’s application in law enforcement goes beyond predictive policing. Its capabilities extend to various domains, including:
Analyzing Surveillance Footage: AI can quickly sift through hours of video to identify individuals or suspicious activities, saving valuable time.
Enhancing DNA Analysis: Advanced algorithms accelerate the DNA matching process, helping solve cases more efficiently.
ShotSpotter Technology: AI-powered systems detect and locate gunshots, enabling faster response times.
Facial Recognition: While controversial, this tool helps identify suspects or missing persons.
Each of these applications represents a step forward in modernizing law enforcement, making it more responsive and efficient.
Benefits of Predictive Policing
The advantages of predictive policing are numerous. First and foremost, it allows law enforcement agencies to allocate resources more effectively. By focusing efforts on areas where crimes are most likely to occur, agencies can optimize manpower and budget, maximizing their impact.
Moreover, predictive policing can serve as a deterrent. Increased police presence in high-risk areas may discourage potential offenders, reducing crime rates. Additionally, this approach can improve public safety by addressing crime proactively rather than reactively, enhancing the overall sense of security in communities.
Ethical and Operational Challenges
Despite its potential, predictive policing is not without its challenges. One of the most pressing concerns is the possibility of perpetuating biases present in historical data. If past crime records reflect biased policing practices, AI algorithms trained on this data may reinforce these patterns, unfairly targeting certain communities.
For instance, over-policing in minority neighborhoods could result in those areas being flagged as high-risk, perpetuating a cycle of disproportionate surveillance and enforcement. Furthermore, the lack of transparency in how these algorithms function raises accountability questions. Who is responsible if an AI-driven decision leads to an unjust outcome?
These issues underscore the importance of addressing biases in data, improving algorithmic transparency, and establishing clear accountability measures for AI-driven decisions.
The Future of AI in Law Enforcement
As AI technology advances, its role in law enforcement is likely to grow. Future developments may include:
Improved Data Analytics: Enhancing the accuracy and fairness of predictions through better data integration and analysis.
Transparent Algorithms: Building AI systems that are explainable and easily understood by the public, fostering trust.
Integration with Smart Cities: Using AI to manage urban safety through interconnected surveillance, traffic monitoring, and public safety systems.
However, these advancements must be accompanied by robust regulations and oversight to prevent misuse and ensure public confidence in the technology.
Addressing Public Concerns
Public apprehension about predictive policing often revolves around privacy and civil liberties. The idea of being monitored or categorized based on predictive algorithms can create discomfort and distrust among citizens.
To address these concerns, law enforcement agencies must prioritize transparency and community engagement. Explaining how predictive policing works, its goals, and the safeguards in place can alleviate fears and build trust. Establishing independent oversight bodies to review the technology’s use and ensure compliance with ethical standards is another crucial step.
Engaging communities in discussions about AI applications fosters collaboration and ensures that the technology serves the public’s best interests.
Key Considerations for AI in Predictive Policing
Data Quality: Ensuring accurate, unbiased inputs to prevent discriminatory outcomes.
Transparency: Making algorithms understandable to the public and policymakers.
Accountability: Establishing clear responsibility for AI-driven decisions.
Community Involvement: Engaging the public to build trust and cooperation.
In Conclusion
AI and predictive policing represent the future of law enforcement, offering tools that can enhance public safety and improve resource allocation. However, with great potential comes great responsibility. The success of these technologies depends on their ethical implementation, transparency, and the willingness of law enforcement agencies to engage with the communities they serve.
As the use of AI in policing evolves, it’s crucial to strike a balance between leveraging technological advancements and upholding the fundamental principles of fairness, accountability, and civil liberties. By addressing these concerns head-on, law enforcement can harness AI’s power to create safer, more equitable societies for all.

Data analysis dissertation help
Data analysis dissertation help: - Data analysis: - The process of transforming, cleansing, and analysing unprocessed data to extract pertinent, usable information that aids in decision-making for businesses is known as data analysis. By offering helpful information and insights—which are frequently shown in the form of tables, graphs, charts, and images—the process helps lower the risks associated with making decisions.

Every time we make decisions in our daily lives, we may observe a fundamental instance of data analysis in action by considering the past or the future consequences of our choice. In essence, this is the process of doing a study on the past or the future and then coming to a conclusion. Data Analysis Types There are now six widely used forms of data analysis that are frequently used in the business and technological domains. Are.
• Analysing Descriptively In descriptive analysis, a dataset's primary characteristics are summed up and described. The primary objective is to arrange and exhibit the data in a significant manner, frequently employing metrics like average, median, mode, as well as standard deviation. It gives a summary for the data and facilitates the discovery of trends or patterns.
• Deductive Analysis Using sample data, inferential analysis seeks to draw conclusions or forecasts about the broader population. It entails using statistical methods including regression analysis, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. It facilitates extrapolating results from an experiment to a broader population.
• Analysing exploratory data (EDA) EDA is concerned with analysing and comprehending the data without making assumptions. To find patterns, linkages, and intriguing aspects, it makes use of data profiling tools, summary statistics, and visualizations. It aids in the creation of theories for additional research.
• Analysis of Diagnostics Understanding the cause-and-effect linkages in the data is the goal of diagnostic analysis. It looks at the elements or variables that lead to particular results or actions. Diagnostic analysis frequently makes use of methods like regression analysis, correlation analysis, and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance).
• Estimative Evaluation Predictive analysis is the process of forecasting or predicting future events based on past data. To find trends and create prediction models, it makes use of machine learning algorithms, statistical modelling approaches, and time series analysis. It is frequently applied to risk assessment, consumer behaviour forecasting, and sales forecasting.
• Script-Based Evaluation By making recommendations for decisions or actions based on the forecasts, prescriptive evaluation goes beyond predictive analysis. To produce meaningful insights and maximize results, it integrates historical data, algorithms for optimization, and business rules. It facilitates resource allocation and decision-making.
Data analysis dissertation help: - One service that helps students analyse their study data is dissertation data analysis aid. Many academic service providers, notably, workingment offer it.

Facts of North Korea's Constitution
Preamble
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is the socialist motherland of Juche where the ideas and leadership of the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are applied.
The great Comrade Kim Il Sung was the founder of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the father of socialist Korea.
Comrade Kim Il Sung authored the immortal Juche idea and, by organizing and leading the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle under its banner, created the glorious revolutionary traditions and achieved the historic cause of national restoration. He laid solid foundations for the building of an independent and sovereign State in the political, economic, cultural and military fields, and based on them, founded the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Having put forward Juche-oriented revolutionary lines, Comrade Kim Il Sung wisely led various stages of social revolution and construction work, thus strengthening and developing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea into a socialist country centred on the masses, into a socialist State which is independent, self-sufficient and self-reliant in defence.
Comrade Kim Il Sung elucidated the fundamental principles governing the building and activities of the State, established an ideal State and social system, an ideal mode of politics and an ideal system and ideal methods for administering society, and laid solid foundations for the prosperity of the socialist motherland and for the inheritance and completion of the revolutionary cause of Juche.
The great Comrade Kim Jong Il was a peerless patriot and defender of socialist Korea who, true to the ideas and cause of Comrade Kim Il Sung, strengthened and developed the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea into Kim Il Sung’s State and placed the dignity and power of the nation on the highest ever plane.
Comrade Kim Jong Il developed in depth and in an all-round way the immortal Juche idea and Songun idea authored by Comrade Kim Il Sung, further perfecting them as ideas guiding the era of independence, and ensured the continuity of the Korean revolution by firmly defending the revolutionary traditions of Juche and carrying them forward in their purity and entirety.
In the face of the collapse of the world socialist system and the vicious offensive of the imperialist allied forces to stifle the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Comrade Kim Jong Il administered Songun politics; thus he safeguarded with honour the achievements of socialism which are the precious legacy of Comrade Kim Il Sung, developed the DPRK into an invincible politico-ideological power, a nuclear state and an unchallengeable military power, and opened a broad avenue for the building of a powerful socialist country.
Regarding “The people are my God” as their maxim, Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il always mixed with the people, devoted their whole lives to them and turned the whole of society into a large family which is united in one mind by taking care of the people and leading them through their noble benevolent politics.
The great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il are the sun of the nation and the lodestar of national reunification. Regarding the reunification of the country as the supreme national task, they devoted all their efforts and care for its realization. They made the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea a powerful bastion for national reunification. At the same time, they set out the fundamental principle and ways of achieving national reunification and developed the movement for national reunification into a nationwide movement, opening the way for completing the cause of reunification through the united efforts of the whole nation.
The great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il clarified the basic ideals of the foreign policy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. On the basis of this, they expanded and developed the country’s foreign relations and ensured that the international prestige of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea was exalted. As veteran world statesmen, they opened up a new era of independence, carried out energetic activities for strengthening and developing the socialist movement and the non-aligned movement, as well as for world peace and for friendship among peoples, and made an imperishable contribution to the cause of human independence.
Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il were geniuses of ideology and theory, masters of the leadership art, ever-victorious iron-willed brilliant commanders, great revolutionaries and statesmen, and great men.
The great ideas of Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il and the great achievements made under their leadership are the lasting treasures of the Korean revolution and the basic guarantee for the prosperity of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun where Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il are preserved in their lifetime appearance is a grand monument to their immortality and a symbol of the dignity and eternal sanctuary of the entire Korean nation.
Under the leadership of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Korean people will uphold the great Comrades Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il as the eternal leaders of Juche Korea, and will carry the revolutionary cause of Juche through to completion by defending and carrying forward their ideas and achievements.

In Disaffected, scholar Xine Yao looks at the racial history of unfeeling. Trained as a nineteenth century Americanist, Yao, much like Lauren Berlant, shows how sentimentality was used for nation-building. Sentiment promised to unite disparate people into a single, stable country if they all “felt right.” Of course, who is allowed to feel “right,” and who is punished for not doing so, is socially determined. While this suffocating framework of universal feeling is writ large in global modernity, Yao theorizes unfeeling as modes of disaffection and dissent that emerge from different entanglements of biopolitical difference. If feeling is implicitly for white people and only taken as valid in accordance with power, can a case for racialized unfeeling be made?
In addition to these relevant theoretical interventions, I argue that Yao’s analysis of Affect Studies and its persistent “race problem” also provides a much-needed corrective to Trans Studies and its white-washed dissociation rhetoric. While this discourse helpfully seeks to unstick trans people from obligations and stereotypes of maximal, spectacular feeling—inspiration, humiliation, violence—it often ignores how emotion is racialized. If dissociation is a way to survive the routine shame of getting clocked, not everyone can just check out. As Yao reminds us, overt disaffection in response to white feelings has historically been met with punishment.
This conversation with Yao touches on boundaries and detachment; we also discussed our deeply grateful, deeply ambivalent relationships to Berlant’s scholarship. Talking with Yao made me question whether we still live in a cruelly optimistic era, or one defined by un-optimistic cruelty.
—Charlie Markbreiter
▼
CHARLIE MARKBREITER. Could you talk about the history of sentimentality, its role in the American nation-building project, and how both you and Berlant address this topic?
XINE YAO. Part of the founding of the US as a nation had to do with ideas of sympathy: how do you draw together disparate peoples for a national project? The right feeling is supposed to lead to the right type of politics. But trying to just cut feelings out (as if we could) is also not an answer. Think about the alt right phrase “facts don’t care about your feelings” (as if white supremacy was based on fact). One thing Berlant’s work does so well is take seriously what sort of politics are enabled by feeling: what sort of effects does it produce, what also does it limit.
But I also have a hard time with how feelings are talked about––not just by Berlant, but by Affect Studies in general––which is like: isn’t it cool how sticky and porous emotions are? And my reaction is just, what about boundaries? What about the possibility of detachments? As black feminists like Audre Lorde have pointed out, boundaries are a way to refuse the constant demands for gendered and racialized emotional labor.
That’s so interesting. We know that boundaries are important, but when you talk about them as a topic of academic inquiry, people don’t take you seriously. I wonder why. Maybe because, with increasing neoliberalism and austerity, universities increasingly discourage academic workers from having any boundaries at all, as near-constant, precarious labor becomes the norm.
I’ve been thinking about the pedagogical aspects of unfeeling, and what it means in terms of our engagements with our students. Because we’re in a time when there’s so little in terms of emotional resources—or any resources for that matter. And what we’re seeing is that students need us to be resources of care, but also that we barely have enough care for ourselves. And as a result of this scarcity, you see many different types of cruelties manifest. Like there’s this impossible, cruel demand, and people are either suffering from trying to meet it, or inflicting cruelty by doubling down on their methods of discipline and control.
So what I’ve been trying to enact in my own teaching instead is: how can we teach not just give care and be a resource for care, but how do we teach care as a methodology of engagement? How do we teach students to think about building care laterally, and to think of care as necessarily reciprocal?
One way of doing this was not just by asking for feedback, but by showing students what that feedback would be used to do, and how the results would impact their learning experiences. This not only made students more engaged–-it also made them give better feedback, which of course helped us in turn. Another thing I did was separate students into pods of six and set aside time for them to share work online or just hang out. In both cases, the aim is to build laterally in a way that isn’t naive to existing power dynamics.
In Tamara K Nopper’s recent TNI piece, she describes how, for bell hooks, the personal is not an end in and of itself. I mean, it is helpful—it shows people that that they are the experts of their own experiences. But, most of the time, we see the reverse: instead of this movement out, structural forces are reduced to the personal.
In an abolitionist context, something like de-escalation is, in a way, also about feeling less. Because in a moment of heightened conflict, what both sides need is to just like take a second and be like, “Wow. I need to chill. And touch grass.” And one way to de-escalate is actually to reframe the conflict so that it’s less about individual blame, or saying that the pain anyone feels is unreal, and more about how the situation is socially reproduced by structural forces which oppress everyone involved.
I remember this tweet that Mariame Kaba had like maybe a year ago about how social media functions and exploits our experience in the activism of escalation. Which is often less helpful in an actual organizing context, which is when you have to compromise with each other to get things done.
This reminds me of my “getting in fights with people on Twitter” era lol. I’d tell my enemies, “I’m right,” and they’d just be like, “Why are you so obsessed with me?” Which was embarrassing because it was true. I’m obsessed with you in that I’m giving you so much of my energy. And, in an attention economy, what could be more of a self-own?
It reminds me of the bullying we experience as children. And how it heightens your self-surveillance and our attempts to become as non-responsive as possible so that the bullies don’t get any pleasure out of picking on you. When people portray the trauma response of dissociative shut-down, they usually vilify it. But just because you need to switch off doesn’t mean you’re dissembling. You’re making a decision about the allocation of care. Maybe you failed to “rise to the occasion,” but would it actually have mattered if you did? Maybe you’re just saving your energy for those who actually need it.
Lauren Berlant famously also examined “not feeling it” as both a trauma response and a survival strategy.
Lauren Berlant came to Cornell while I was doing my PhD there. They also did their PhD at Cornell, and at one point jokingly referred to the “Cornell school of sentimentality.” Berlant’s writing has been so informative for me. But it’s also not the sole determinant of how I approach the world. For example, their diagnosis of citizenship and the good life as exclusionary mechanisms is both extremely helpful and an over-reification of the US and citizenship as the ultimate model. And while they know that citizenship is built upon exclusions, what they don’t really explore is: what if you don’t want citizenship? What does it mean to read their work in the US, as someone who’s not a US citizen and it’s not really interested in being a US citizen and then to feel and stay with that dissonance? In the nineteenth century, Chinese sojourners didn’t always want to stay. Many of them wanted to go home. Which, again, isn’t even about Berlant, but the problem of sympathy, and how the solution is always just, “Okay. We’ll do better next time.”
I hate the obsession with finding, denouncing and then reclaiming each of racial capitalism’s niche effects. It’s supposed to reveal the contradictions of life, but more often performs a siloing function in addition to justifying harms caused via a mode of cost-benefit analysis thinking—which is more neoliberal than anything else. As if to say, “It’s all worth it, so long as...” some queer theorist can reclaim your pain. Which is actually quite different than saying, “Decades of dissociating causes lasting trauma, both individually and collectively. How do we heal from that?”
And this actually also resonates with the question of identity politics that I tried to analyze towards the end of my book. The point of identity politics was never about this hyper focus on individual; instead, it is the starting point for methodology. Now there are so many jokes about people naming their privileges and then they go off and do whatever they are going to do anyway. But actually you’re supposed to look at the nexus of differences and privileges and then realize therefore, “This is what I’m responsible for.” Which doesn’t just mean that feelings are valid, but about looking at the attachments to those feelings, and what they may but also may not actually index. Which is part of why the work coming from Trans Studies by scholars such as Maxi Wallenhorst is so exciting, and why I’m also grateful for Queer of Color critique, which looks at how white gay/trans feelings are overly universalized.
Along those lines, I’m curious if you could talk more about how dissociation is racialized, both discursively and in life. Trans Studies has done a great job of showing how dissociation is gendered and sexualized by analyzing it via dysphoria; “Fucking Like a Housewife” by Jamie Hood is a great example of this kind of analysis. But one reason I really appreciated your book is the way it shows who is allowed to access unfeeling, who is forced into it to survive. Which helpfully undercuts the liberal sentimental practice of associating maximum feeling with maximum truth, as if those who felt most and best were automatically the most valuable. Trans Studies dissociation discourse has a race problem, is maybe what I’m trying to say.
When you’re talking about affect, there’s always the temptation to make a universalizing move. Because you want something that speaks to the individual, but is also more generally useful. But this is when it becomes useful to bear in mind Sylvia Wynter, or Denise Ferreira da Silva, whose work analyzes the way universal affect leads to the Enlightenment’s universal “Man.” We don’t want to do that. What we’re trying to do instead is make frameworks that speak deeply as a theory in the flesh, both to us and to those we care about in our communities. So how can we push back against universalism’s portability, which is of course based on racial violence.
That makes a lot of sense. Because most of the time, when white trans people universalize, they’re not like, “I looooove whiteness,” more like, “This thing helped me, so it will help you, also.” Without understanding that it might actually not. It’s perhaps another example of what historian Jules Gill-Peterson called “white gender.” That term is from her piece on Christine Jorgensen, who was the first mainstream American trans celeb, and also about her own experiences with white trans women.
Feelings are valid, but sometimes there has to be a type of distancing to really understand the attachments that are involved.
As dissociation has become a more prominent topic in both Trans Studies and mainstream culture, how do you feel the concept of dissociation has been racialized?
Following Wynter, we might say that “universal feeling” over-represents whiteness and the Human, and that, in this case specifically, it leads to an over-representation of the white trans person. So, dissociation is gendered, especially via its contact with dysphoria, but that experience coheres differently for different kinds of subjects in a way that can’t be extricated from the sort of wider colonial biopolitics of difference.
It’s less about proving that dissociation isn’t actually a theoretical panacea, because of course it isn’t, but asking: how was dissociation produced as the catch-all answer in the first place? And if dissociation is the catch-all answer, then what was the question?

Update on Jay’s Latest Real Estate Deal
https://www.jayconner.com/update-on-jays-latest-real-estate-deal/
Jay is right in the middle of his recent deal at 109 Broad Street in Beaufort, North Carolina.
In this video, he will tell you how he found this deal, how it is funded, and all the numbers that made this deal possible.
First lesson: How to find this type of deal? You need to have a Bird Dog.
What is a Bird Dog?
A Bird Dog is someone that you have who rides around town looking for sale by owner sign or signs of distressed property. They then take a picture of the sign, the property, and take notes of the address and other important details.
Through that, you can now find out the information about the property such as the name of the owner then start reaching out to them.
In this particular story, Jay’s bird dog sent him a picture of this property with a phone number on the for sale sign. Then, Jay forwards the details of the property to his “acquisitionist”.
An acquisitionist is in charge of talking, negotiating, and getting information on the properties initially before Jay gets involved in looking at the numbers.
Through Jay’s acquisitionist, they learned that the selling price of the owner for this property is $299,999. In addition, the owner specifically said that she will not take any offer that is less than the said amount.
Next step, get your realtor to calculate the after repaired value of the house. Now, Jay’s realtor prepared the Comparable Analysis of this property and the after repaired value that came out is $350,000. The difference between the seller’s asking price and the ARV is only $50,000.
What comes next? When they make the calculations of the rehab to make this house a beautiful property the number is $20,000.
Now, what in the world is Jay going to do to make this deal possible?
Watch the full video and discover all the lessons that you need to learn on how to make over $100K profit on a deal just like this.

-------------------------------------
I'm right in the middle of this deal at 109 broad street that just started a week and a half ago. And in just a moment, I'm going to tell you how I found it, how it's being funded, all the numbers, how I structured it and how you too can make over $100,000 in profit on a deal just like this.
Well, hello there I'm Jay Conner, the Private Money Authority. And welcome back to another episode of Real Estate Investing with Jay Conner. I'm Jay Conner your host of the show. And as I said, the Private Money Authority, if you're new to the show, a very special welcome. We talk here on the show, all things real estate. We talk about how to find deals, how to fund deals, how to get them rehabbed. If rehabbing is involved, how to get them so quickly and how to automate the entire process to where you really can make realistically a six figure income or more, and working less than 10 hours per week. I started in this business back in 2003, investing in single family houses. And since that time we've rehabbed over 400 of them done a lot more deals than that. But as far as rehabs go, we've done over 400.
Well on today's show. I want to share with you this deal, that I'm in the middle of right now, and I tell you I haven't even closed on it. And there are so many lessons to learn from this one deal. So again, it's located at 109 broad street, right over here in Beaufort, North Carolina. And so, first of all, let me just go through the steps as to what happened first and the kind of profits that are taking place on this deal and the lessons that you can learn from this, that you can apply into your real estate investing business as well. So about a week and a half ago, I got a text right here on my cell phone. I got a picture of a for sale by owner, also known as a FSBO sign in front of a house over here in Beaufort.
Well, the text came in from what I call one of my bird dogs. So what in the world is a bird dog in the real estate investing world? What a bird dog is someone that you have as they ride around about town. When they see a for sale by owner sign or signs of a distressed property. Alright, it may look vacant, may have newspapers on the front porch may have grown up, you know, grass, et cetera, either FSBO signs or distress properties. And you have your friend or hired bird dog. You have them take a picture of the FSBO sign and the address of the property. Now, if there's no FSBO sign and it's a distressed property, just have them take a picture of the house and text you the physical address, you can then skip, trace that information and find out who the owner is.
And then start reaching out to them either by direct mail, outbound phone calling, et cetera, on this particular story. I want to tell you exactly what happens. So one of my bird dogs took a picture of this FSBO sign. It's going to have the phone number of the cell phone number of the owner that was selling it. And they also sent me a picture of the house. So I received the text, looked at it and I forwarded the text on to my acquisitionist right? And so acquisitionist what's an acquisitionists. This is Kim in our world, mine and Carol Joy's world. And Kim's been with us since 2004. She's in charge of talking and negotiating and getting information on properties. Initially, before I get involved in looking at the numbers. So Kim got that text from me, and she called up the cell number.
Got the owner on the phone, and got the initial information on the property. So first lesson learned is I would not have gotten this late at all. I would not have this house from the contract, which I now do. I would not have it under contract unless I had my bird dogs in place, because I'm not riding around myself, looking for FSBO signs or distress properties. I have other people. So first lesson gotta have a bird dog, or I would've missed out on this deal. Now, Kim calls up the owner, gets the information on the property. This house was built in 1910. So this is in the historical district. It's only one block from the water fantastic location. So she gets all the information on the property, sends it to me. I look at it and yes, I want our realtor to calculate the after repaired value of the house.
Now let's just see if there's any kind of spread, between what the seller is asking and what the actual repaired value is. Bear in mind at this point in time in the timeline, we do not know what the repair estimate is yet. So we know what the seller's toes, but of course, we're not going to know what it is until we actually go look. But first we want to see if there's some kind of spread between after repaired value, also known as ARV and the seller was asking price. The sellers asking price is $299,900. And make note, the seller said, do not call me back and offer anything less because I'm not going to take one penny less than $299,900. So we have our realtor go ahead and calculate the after repaired value. This is based on sold comps that are near the property.
So, our realtors figures it up in less than 24 hours, we get a complete CMA also known as like comparable market analysis, emailed to us from our realtor that knows this area, like the back of his hand and the after repaired value comes back in at $350,000. Sounds like a pretty good spread so far, but what are the repairs? Well, there's been 299,900 and 350 is only $50,000, right? So there's any kind of repairs whatsoever. Then I know those numbers aren't going to work. So anyway, we want to go take a look at the house. We'd go to $50,000, spread, less repairs. So I have Kim our acquisition get back in touch with the seller. We found out that the seller and her brother are the heirs of this property, the house is vacant. Nobody's living in it. It's free and clear.
There's no mortgages there's no liens attached to it that we know of. Of course, we'll have a title search done by our attorney before we closed. Always get a title search done before you close. And so we want to go take a look well, in just that short two day period between getting the lead from a bird dog, sending it to Kim the acquisitionist getting the seller on the phone, getting the information, getting our realtor to give us the ARV in that two day period of time Kim calls up the seller and we find out that the seller has already listed the property with their real estate agent. No problem. It's listed with a realtor. That's fine. I'm planning on buying it with private money anyway. So, when heirs are involved, it's going to be very, very difficult to negotiate any kind of buying a property on terms with creative financing, with seller financing or what have you.
So I don't want to use private money, paying all cash. And I'll make my offer with all cash and no contingencies. So we set the appointment and my realtor and my contractor go out to the house to take a look and estimate repairs. I'm out of town, I was visiting family. So I'm not even here. Another lesson learned you don't have to be looking at houses yourself, but you must have trustworthy boots on the ground. They can be your eyes for you. So my realtor and my contractor to go and take a look. I get a complete budget sheet sent to me. Repairs are coming in at about $20,000 in repairs to make this home look absolutely beautiful. And it's all cosmetic.It's only got 891 heated square feet, It's a little cottage there in 1910.
Why is it so valuable at $350,000? Number one, location, one block from the water. Number two, these historical houses are hotter than pancakes. So location the attraction of this 1910 cottage, all the stars are lining up. So let's run the numbers. So remember, in order to calculate your maximum allowable offer also known as MAO, your maximum allowable offer. When the after repaired value is above $300,000. In this case, 350. We're going to multiply times 80%. Now I will tell you, I believe the 350,000 is very conservative because my real estate agent, our realtor is very conservative. I believe in this hot market. When I fixed it up, I will be able to sell this house for 375. I really do. Let's run the calculations both ways. If we use the ultra conservative figure of $350,000 and above 300,000, we're going to multiply times 80%, that equals $280,000.
So let's run that again, just to make sure $350,000 times .80, we're leading up to figuring our maximum allowable offer is $280,000. Now repairs are how much $20,000. I'm not going to subtract $20,000 from the $280,000 figure. That gives me a MAO, a maximum allowable offer of 260,000, a thousand dollars. Now, do I ever offer MAO? of two or you know of what it comes up to? Excuse me. And the answer is no. I always throw in at least a $10,000 buffer below the maximum allowable offer to account for who we call Murphy, right? Murphy is the unexpected evil one that might show up with unexpected repairs, Murphy lives in every house, right? So I'm going to subtract an additional $10,000 from the $260,000. So now my offer to the seller is $250,000. Now, do you remember what I said a moment ago?
When my acquisition is Kim talked with the, the sister, she said, don't call me back unless you're and try to offer one penny less than $299,900. Well, we're not calling her back, right? I can't call her back. Now. Maybe I could, but there's no need to call her back because she now has the property listed with a realtor. So all communication now is going through my realtor to their realtor, bear in mind. And remember whenever I'm making offers through my real estate agent to another real estate agent, that's got the listing. Well guess who is paying my real estate agent to represent me. If I get the offer accepted, not me. The seller is paying all the realtors for when are acquiring and purchasing a property. So I communicate back to my real estate agent and his name is Chris. Make the call offer for $250,000.
And here's how I want you to know, make the offer. Lots of lessons here. First of all, tell them it's going to be all cash with no loan contingencies , all cash, no loan contingencies. That's very important. This is called the and this is a writer down right here. The cleaner your offer, the more offers get accepted. In other words, don't put conditions. Don't put contingencies on your offer. If you wanted to get accepted, right? Now, when I say no lung contingencies, can I still buy the house with private money? Absolutely. Yes. When I say I'm making the offer with no loan contingencies, all that means is I'm not making the offer conditional upon me having to go get approved for a loan. Right? So, I told my real estate agent made the offer all cash $250,000, no loan contingencies, even though I'm gonna use private money to pay for it.
And I'll close within two weeks. I also instructed my real estate agent to make the offer and tell them this is a maximum offer, one time only offer. This is a maximum one time only offer. In other words, here's my all cash offer, take it or leave it, you ain't getting this offer from me anymore. That's called fear of loss, right? So remember the seller had told my acquisitionist, they wouldn't take one penny less than $299,900. And here I'm coming with an offer all clean at 250. Guess what? The same day the offer was made, they accepted the offer $250,000 just as we presented the offer big lesson right here folks, huge lesson. And that is, and you wanna write this down, seller of a property does not know what they will accept from you went from your, with your offer until you make the offer.
That's huge. The sale. I don't care what and I'm not saying the seller lied. When the seller, at that point in time said, we won't take one penny less than what we're asking, but there's a big difference. There's a whole different paradigm going on here between the seller saying, I won't take less than X and you actually making the offer. So what's the lesson learned on that piece of this deal. If there's a property you're interested in, make the offer and let the math make the decision, make the offer, regardless of what the seller said they would take or wouldn't take. And let me tell you this as just another side important lesson, if you're a real estate agent says they won't accept that they didn't accept that two weeks ago or whatever. I'm not even making the offer. You tell your real estate agent and by law.
They're required. If you make an offer, if you give them an offer, they're required by law to make the offer. You tell them to make the offer. So I'm scheduled the close on this property. We're under contract, I'm scheduled to close he's on it next week and let's review the lessons learned lots of lessons here. Number one, if I didn't have a bird dog in place to take pictures of FSBO signs and send in to me and us, I wouldn't have gotten this deal. Number two lesson, if I didn't have private money lined up, ready to fund this deal to where I could close in two weeks. I wouldn't have got this deal. Number three, I didn't listen to what the seller said and said, don't make me an offer. Listen 299,900. We offered 250,000, 50,000 less than they said they'd take.
And they took it. Next lesson. I had my contractor had a relationship with my contractor to where the contractor could get out there within 24 hours and estimate repairs. So the contractor relationship was very important. Number the next lesson, my real estate agent, my relationship with my realtor. If I didn't have a relationship with Chris that can get out there right away and also look at the property. And also in less than 24 hours, get me the after repaired value as to what that property would be worth after it's all fixed up, I would have missed out. Another important relationship is the relationship with my real estate attorney. You say, I can't make an offer that I'll close within two weeks, unless I've got a relationship with a real estate attorney that can actually get it done in today's hot market. If just somebody off the street called up my real estate attorneys and say, I've got a property that I want to buy.
They are booked out at least four weeks before they can do any closings. But since I've got the relationship and you should as well, you got the relationship with the real estate attorney. They can get the title search done quickly, never buy a house without a title search, never buy a house without title insurance, and we can get it done. Also another relationship, a home inspection company, when you're doing a rehab like this and this kind of money, you never buy a house without a home inspection and make sure that you, you know, you don't have a big old Murphy showing up that you didn't expect. So you want to have the relationship in place with your home inspection company as well. So there you have it. Now, I'm going to tell you in an upcoming episode, very shortly after this, when I'm actually going to be on location with my videographer taking me through the house and you actually seeing what we are doing in this house.
So there you have it folks, 109 broad street, and a lot of lessons learned that you can put to use as a real estate investor. So let me ask you a question.
