In fact, there's a variety of new electric cars offered by a number of car makers. From the domestic American made Chevrolet Volt to the Japanese Nissan Leaf, these new models of electric cars are going to change the way we drive. The EVs, as they are called, will require an electric charging station. Think of it as a gas station right in your own garage. Better yet, EV charging stations will soon begin appearing all over the nation. Any commercial parking area today will have the option to install EV charging stations for the convenience of their EV driving customers. The dealerships will also need charging stations to demonstrate the new electric vehicles. So, which EV charger is the right charger for your home? You do have a choice. There is the 120 volt charging system that can plug right into any household wall socket, preferably in your garage. This charger can fully charge your EV in 10-14 hours. This standard charging system comes standard with all of the new Electric Vehicles. How would you like to have to stand at a gas pump for 10 hours pumping gas? Obviously, you're going to have to plan your driving habits. Your EV will have to be parked at least 10 hours per day, most likely while you sleep. What if you could fully charge your EV in 4 hours? What would that be worth to you? Let's face it; these cars aren't cheap to begin with! To fully charge your EV in 4 hours, you'll need a level 2, 240 volt rapid electric vehicle charging station rated at 20 amps. These are available from the EV manufacturers as well as from a number of 3rd party providers. In order to install a 240 volt level 2 rapid charger in your garage, you'll need a licensed electrician or electrical contractor. Both the Nissan LEAF and the Chevrolet VOLT require the use of one of their own certified electrical contractors&nbsp;<a href="http://xovacharging.com/">http://xovacharging.com/</a>. Soon you may be able to hire your own electrical contractor if you sign a waiver, however initially the electric vehicle car manufacturers want you to use their certified installers who have been trained to their specifications. The electrician will need to install a 240 volt electrical outlet in your garage and also to install the charger on the wall near the outlet. So what's involved if you decide to purchase the optional 240 volt, 4 hour charger? First you will need to purchase the rapid charging station either from the electric car dealership or from a 3rd party provider (if allowed). Then you will need to hire either the dealers electrical contractor of one of your choosing. The electrician will need to acquire a double pole, or 240 volt circuit from your electrical panel. This means that there must be space in your panel to accommodate 2 additional circuit breakers. A 240 volt circuit breaker is commonly referred to as a double pole breaker. If there isn't any room for additional circuit breakers, sometimes the existing breakers can be replaced with tandem breakers. Tandem breakers are 1/2 the size of a standard breaker. Two of them will fit in the space designed for one full size breaker. By doing this, it's possible to create enough space for a new double pole circuit breaker. Once that is established, a 240 volt copper wire, size 8 gauge, is installed from the panel to the garage to carry the power required for your 240 volt EV charger. Eight gauge wire is recommended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer also recommends installing a sub-circuit panel in the garage for the charger, but I do not believe that is absolutely necessary. So how does the electrician get the 240 volt circuit wire from the panel to the garage? Often times, the panel is a combination circuit breaker panel and electric meter box all in one. In a perfect world, this box will often be found on an exterior garage wall. However, it can also be located on the opposite side of the house! If the panel is on a garage wall, the installation is much easier and less costly. The closer the circuit panel, the less time and material it will require. If it's not on a garage wall and is located further away, then creative measures may be necessary. If your house has a crawl space either above or below, that's the best case scenario. In that case, a short section of electrical conduit will be installed out of the bottom or top of the panel and turn into the crawl space to carry the wire across to the garage. Worst case scenario, is when there is no access above or below the house. These are the most challenging. You will want to hire an experienced electrician that takes a great deal of pride in his workmanship. The electrician will be required to install electrical conduit from the panel to the garage. Exterior wiring of 120 volts or higher must be protected inside electrical conduit, either metal or PVC. Usually the conduit will be fastened to the exterior of your home. Sometimes, to avoid what some may call an unsightly addition to the exterior, the conduit may be buried in the ground. I have installed miles and miles of electrical conduit on the exterior of people's homes over the years. If your electrician is proficient at bending and installing metal or PVC conduit, then he can do a good job without detracting from the appearance of your home. Knowing how to properly bend electrical metal tubing (EMT) has become a lost art among many of the younger residential electricians. If you plan to install a 240 volt rapid charger in your garage for your EV, and you will be required to run electrical conduit on the exterior of your home, then you'll want a conduit expert in order to get a nice, neat job. Conduit can be painted, but a neat installation is critical. Bad conduit installations can really "ugly up" a house. Not all electricians are skilled at conduit bending. It takes a lot of practice. Many handymen and even some less reputable electricians will simply staple plastic jacketed cable (Romex) right to the exterior of the house. It serves the purpose, but it's not legal. All exterior 120 volt wiring or higher must be inside electrical conduit. This is also the rule when running exposed AC wire on a surface wall indoors as well. If you can live with a 10 hour charge time, then you won't need to spend any additional money for a level 2 rapid charging station. If you wish to fully charge your EV in 4 hours, prepare to spend a little more money. I think things will evolve as time goes by and maybe the charging systems will become more efficient and less charging time will be required. Only time will tell. If you are located in the San Diego area and would like to discuss installation of a level 2 rapid charging station in your home, we would be glad to discuss your options with your. Currently Point Loma Electric is certified to install level 2 charging stations for several of the different chargers on the market. </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/7472247613472175215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2022/07/how-to-install-240-volt-level-ii-rapid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/7472247613472175215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/7472247613472175215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2022/07/how-to-install-240-volt-level-ii-rapid.html' title='How to Install a 240 Volt Level II Rapid Charging Station For Your Electric Vehicle'/><author><name>dfgsrf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10114953455306589917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235287976021242381.post-2596027471588038780</id><published>2022-04-29T02:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2022-04-29T02:50:14.156-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Politically Incorrect Self Defense</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;&nbsp;Why do you train in the martial arts? Do you train to get the glory of a $3.00 piece of plastic? Do you train to learn how to fight? If you do a "martial sport" and that is your intent and purpose and you realize that you will never do a back flip in a street fight, that's fine, drive on. If you train in a "mixed martial art" format and you realize that ring fighting is still different from street fighting that's good also and you are getting closer to the real thing. Many times we delude ourselves into thinking that what and how we are training is the best way. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear comments like "My style is better that your style". [And my instructor can beat up your instructor!] On any given day someone can kick your butt. Maybe it has something to do with star alignment or something or maybe your karma is off that particular day. I have actually had people come into my dojo and make statements such as "My instructor says this punch cannot be defended against." He was right. I could not defend against it. I was laughing way to hard to even try a block or deflection. Another was a couple of young men that asked what I would do if choked from the side. This was the infamous TV choke. You know, both hands around the throat. So the young man steps to my side to suppress my arm as he is choking me. He squeezes my throat as I do a five-finger testicular constriction. He lets go and runs out of the dojo. What does that tell you about his training or about my old age and treachery? Another issue that really irritates me is: are you being taught to fall properly? If not, go get your money back because you are being cheated. Of all the neat martial art goodies that we are presented it will probably be taking a proper break fall that will save your butt. Has mine having slipped on the ice while wearing my cop boots, dumping my motorcycle in the desert after having hit an unexpected muddy spot and also on a parachute jump where the DZ was infected by frozen irrigation ditches. I landed in the middle of one and if I had done a proper parachute-landing fall I probably would have broke my leg. Knowing how to fall can save your butt in a fight should you be taken to the ground, slip or get knocked down. A few years back I offered to let a young man use me as a punching dummy while he prepared for an up-coming tournament. He was young, strong and fast but every time I started a counter offensive he would turn his back to me and cover his head. You are a product of your training and nothing more. He would do the same thing in a street fight with deadly results. You will absolutely perform exactly as you train. The more you train a specific way the more your response will be as you have trained. This is as true for martial artists as it is for grunts. Train like you fight, fight like you train. A good reference to read is "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle. Unlike fair fights, self-defense has no rules, just the application of correct principles. Hit any and all openings for your opponent will give you all the opportunity you need to defeat him or her. Hit hard and fast and don't stop until your opponent can no longer present a threat. My concept is to deliver 1-5 strikes which include knees, kicks, elbows, palm heels, eye pokes, etc. then throw your attacker to the ground as hard as possible. Then depending upon the tactical situation, finish him off with a constriction (an arm bar or a strangulation technique) or if the situation warrants, use your Cold Steel. Just make sure you can justify your actions. Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six. Another concern I have is about the folks that are conned into taking a "self defense" course be it two hours at the local community center or other such venue lasting as long as six weeks. The training needs to be done to such an extent that it builds "muscle memory" and you just can't do that in a single two-hour class. Self-defense skills are perishable and must be practiced on a regular basis to be retained. For us martial artists to be able to claim mastery over a technique we must do it about 5000 times. You might be able to do that in a weekend if you are into self abuse but otherwise how many years does that take? Depends on the depth and intensity of your training. Some courses are good as they stress realism to a degree. You cannot get totally real without someone getting seriously hurt but you can induce enough of an adrenalin dump to get a good idea of what to expect. You must also train in the environment you expect to fight in. Yes we use mats most of the time to encourage longevity but occasionally the crusty old fart has everyone line up for break falls on the concrete floor. Someone even said it wasn't a good workout unless we drew blood. I'm not sure of that, but... An excellent source of information is available in books but reading about self-defense and getting on the mat are two different critters. One book I do highly recommend is "Meditations on Violence" by Rory Miller. In fact I make it mandatory reading for my black belt students. Another good book is "The Gift Of Fear" by Gavin DeBecker&nbsp;<a href="https://the-beautiful-home.com/">https://the-beautiful-home.com/</a>. Avoidance is the best tool of self-defense you have and your brain the greatest weapon. A lot can be said about tongue fu and the ability to talk your way out of a confrontation. When you have no other course of action but to fight then you must flip the switch and become a human buzz saw. You will probably get hit but unless you are unconscious or dead you keep fighting. It ain't over until it is over, never quit. Train hard. Bumps and bruises will heal with time. Not all of the lessons are found in the dojo. Be alert to your surroundings and don't be afraid to tell someone to back off or get lost. Listen to your instincts and act on them. It is best to never know if your skills would have been put to use in that dark alley you decided not to walk down because it didn't feel right. What possible benefit could tearing a deck of cards or bending nails have for a mixed martial artist? Surely it would make more sense to train with specific grip equipment like grip machines, grippers, plate pinches and thick bars than trying to tear decks of cards, rip phone books, and bend steel, right? Don't be so quick to dismiss feats of strength. They actually have much more benefit than meets the eye. Doing feats of strength is actually a good way to cross-train for Mixed Martial Arts. Here's why. In MMA, to a degree there is an element of viciousness, mental toughness, pain tolerance, and other intangibles. These qualities are why feats of strength are perfectly suited to supplement MMA training. Viciousness Feats of strength are not easy, especially top level feats. You have to be willing to go further in your training and in your efforts in order to complete some feats, especially card tearing. In order to rip, tear, bend, break and mangle, you have to be willing to destroy. Whether it's a deck of cards, a steel bar, or your opponent's arm, you have to be a little bit different between the ears. Mental Toughness If you give up at the first onset of difficulty, you will fail miserably in the octagon. The same thing can be said about any feat of strength. Many feats take months of training to gain the strength and technique to accomplish them, and just like an MMA fight, they require many minutes of straining and fighting in order to be victorious. Pain Tolerance If you shut down under pain, you should get out of MMA right now, and you should forget about doing a lot of feats of strength. Although not the same as getting kicked multiple times in the thigh by your opponent, feats of strength do beat you back: - Tearing Cards can wreck your fingertips and finger nails- When ripping phone books, if your hand slips off, you feel a full body tremor from the recoil- When bending nails, your fingers get crushed under the pressure and the wrists are forced into stressing positions- When bending horseshoes, the sharp edge of the shoe is driven into the thigh to be used as a fulcrum As you can see, feats of strength aren't just for showing off. They are a way to cultivate your mind, making you more ferocious, while they make your hands and lower arms strong enough to give you control in the ring and on the mat. Tips For Growing Beautiful House Plants Even If You're A Beginner If you are new to live house plants, you may not have noticed the popularity of some of the tropical plants. Many thought for years that those tropical plants would not survive the dry hot atmosphere inside the house. Naturally some do better than others and you should look for thick leathery foliage, for placing in your home. Their ability to survive and to thrive is because the leaves are tough in texture and some are constructed so that minimum amount of moisture loss is slowed down. The Christmas Cactus is a typical example. On the other hand plants like the maidenhair fern have thin leaves allowing for quick evaporation and do not fair well in dry hot rooms. However, you could hang a Maidenhead Fern in a bathroom where steam form the shower or bath would help it retain its moisture. If you added moisture to any other of your rooms, say with a humidifier, it may be detrimental to your furnishings or art work. There are steps to take when decorating with house plants. Try to buy your plants after the need for heat is over. This will give the plant time to get use to the atmosphere with plenty of fresh air, and allow the foliage to harden while preparing the plant for the unfavorable conditions of heated rooms. It is always important to keep the leaves free of dust so as not to clog their pores. Watering is always a delicate balance. Rule of thumb is that a plant in active growth will always need more water that those that are dormant. During the growing season, April to October, plants will use more water then in other times of the year. To be really safe buy an inexpensive water meter from your Nursery Garden Supply store. Generally, potted plants should be watered when moderately dry. Be sure to give a good soak right down to the drainage hole. A few sprinkles of water a few times a week will do nothing for the feeding roots that are situated at the bottom of the pot. There is a tip for checking if the plant is dry at the bottom. Tap the plant half way down the pot with your knuckles, if a hallow sound is heard it needs water. If you heard a dull noise, it does not require water. Always water the plant with water that is at room temperature so as not to shock the roots. One sure sign that the plant is over watered is sickly yellow leaves. Stop watering immediately. Use a pointed stick to aerate the soil around the plant and do not water again until the soil is quite dry. Inspect your plants daily since some pots retain water while others do not. If using unglazed pots do not place them directly on a table or you will get damage from water seepage. You must feed the plants to keep them healthy and happy. Plants that are well rooted and thriving need more feeding. Be diligent from May to August. Use a fertilizer like Miracle Grow for easy nourishment. For millions of couples and families, their ultimate dream is to own a beautiful home in France. Imagine siting outside in the sunshine&nbsp;<a href="https://ulflag.com/">https://ulflag.com/</a>, enjoying a glass of wine made from grapes growing right beside your villa. Or waking early in the morning to stroll to the market and buy fresh bread and cheeses. The way of life, culture and countryside are all aspects which attract people to France every year. Many people have fallen in love with the country during holidays, and hope one day to have a special place of their own to visit all year round. Holiday homes in Europe became extremely popular during the boom years of the eighties. However, even in recent years, while the UK housing market has seen a huge slump, sales of houses in France have remained buoyant. Amongst the most popular purchases are conversions of old buildings. There are many barns for sale in France, offering space, originality and economy. Often, old barns can be purchased at fantastic prices. If you are not sure about whether to take the plunge and purchase a property, you could do what many families do, and rent or lease a house for up to a year. This is a wonderful way to try out life and find out if it really is the stuff dreams are made of. It's also a good way of experiencing the different seasons and the varying weather conditions. Some favourite holiday destinations can look very different when it's cold and wet! If you have already made a firm decision to purchase, your next step is to start looking at the available properties and identifying exactly what type and size of building you are looking for. Do you want a house which has already been refurbished, so you and your family can enjoy it from day one? Or are you looking for a project, a chance to renovate your own home, and add your own personal touch to it? Finding a property is fairly easy but does take time and commitment. Although it is possible to find excellent properties online, or in magazines and papers, the very best way is to actually spend time in your chosen area, driving around and looking at what is for sale. Checking with the local estate agent, (un agent immobilier), and identifying a list of potential properties is a good start. There are also excellent companies online who list houses for sale, and help you with the whole process. There is another option of buying a house, in a public auction, (vente aux enchères), however this is for the more confident purchaser, and definitely for those who are fluent in French. Of course, you don't always have to buy through an agent, you could purchase directly from the owner. A simple search on the internet will reveal many individuals who are selling their homes. It won't take you long before you identify a property you love. Go and view it as soon as possible, and make sure you understand all the legal aspects of purchasing a property in France.

What is it that pharmacy technicians do in a pharmacy. Most people figure they help the pharmacist enter prescriptions and count pills. This is true for an outpatient pharmacy, also called a retail pharmacy, but there are many roles for pharmacy techs in healthcare&nbsp;<a href="http://sourcing-force.com">sourcing-force.com</a>. The rest of this article will discuss the job description of pharmacy techs in a retail or community setting, and provide a bulleted list of tasks. Future articles will cover different pharmacy settings for pharmacy techs and the job descriptions and tasks associated with them as well. Community/Retail Pharmacy: I have worked retail, and I prefer other settings; however, it is where a large percentage of pharmacy technician jobs are found. What a pharmacy technician can do is determined by the state they work via state laws and rules. In general, technicians cannot provide clinical information to patients or be the final check for prescriptions. In some states, technicians are allowed to provide information on over-the-counter (OTC) medication (ie, medications that do not require a prescription, such as, acetaminophen and ibuprofen). Specific roles that pharmacy technicians can have in a retail pharmacy include: general technician, lead technician, buying technician, compounding technician, and billing/insurance technician. In most pharmacies, pharmacy technicians are general technicians with some of the above listed skill sets. When you go into a larger and busier pharmacy, you can actually have job differentiation where people have assigned specialized tasks (based on the needs of the pharmacy). Pharmacy technician tasks for retail pharmacies include, but are not limited to: Collecting patient information (insurance and personal information as needed)Entering and processing prescriptions in the computer systemFilling and selling prescriptionsRequesting refills from doctor offices for patientsCompounding medications that are not commercially availableOrdering medicationsRestocking shelvesAnswering the phoneWorking with insurance companies on approving payment for certain medicationsMaintaining the cash register and conducting accounting functionsRetail pharmacies tend to get a bad rap from within the pharmacy profession. Although I prefer hospital (which will be the topic of the next article), I enjoyed my time in a retail pharmacy. I was able to get to know the customers (I like say patients) personally. It is a great feeling when a long-time customer comes to the pharmacy and you know them by name, maybe a little about their family, and most important you know their medical history. Because of this relationship, you are able to ensure that the patient's medication regimen is optimal, as a technician you can help determine if there are generic alternatives to medications prescribed in order to help the patient save money. In summary, retail pharmacies are the most common type of pharmacy, and therefore the place where the majority of pharmacy techs are employed. Due to an increasing elderly population (thank you baby boomers), retail pharmacies will continue to increase in demand. If you find a pleasant retail pharmacy to work in, and good staff to work with, a retail pharmacy technician position can be a positive experience. Rob Hoopi is a hospital pharmacy manager at a large community hospital. He was a pharmacy technician for over eight years prior to going to pharmacy school. He hopes to share what he has learned as a technician, and now as a pharmacy manager who manages technicians, Although most pharmacy technicians receive informal on-the-job training, employers surely favor those who have completed formal training and have been certificated. Formal pharmacy technician education programs require some classroom and laboratory work in a variety of areas, including medical and pharmaceutical terminology, pharmaceutical calculations, pharmacy recordkeeping, pharmaceutical techniques, and pharmacy law and ethics. Technicians also are required to learn medication names, actions, uses, and doses. Many training programs include internships, in which students gain hands-on experience in actual pharmacies. How to be a good pharmacy Technician? What kind of criteria do one need to be a good pharmacy technician? 1. Prospective pharmacy technicians gain their working experience as an aide in a community pharmacy or volunteering in a hospital before the actual employment. Applicants with mass experience managing medicine inventories, counting tablets, measuring dosages, and using computers as much as skillful in most of the clerical work is definitely an added bonus 2. To learn and grasp the knowledge of pharmacy technician's fast, a background in chemistry, English, Biology, Chemistry and Health education of any type may be beneficial. 3. Gain the certification and other qualifications. Both the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians, administer national certification examinations.

A timeshare is said to be a costly thing although it may give a great vacation experience to the owner. And with the economic climate that we are having today where almost everyone is cost-cutting, it may be wiser for the owner to get out from his/her timeshare contract. With this, he can opt for other cheaper forms of vacationing or use the money for other important matters. However, if the owner who had just bought a timeshare decides to get rid of such property, he may do so without forfeiting his/her initial payment by availing through a rescission period. Right of Rescission In US, almost all states have a rule of rescission. This is the time period in which the buyer can change his mind and cancel the sales contract without forfeiting any money. But be warned that the rescission period varies state by state. Know Your Contract First, check your contract for a clause that says something about a rescission period. Everything you need to know is in the contract. When you want to submit a rescission request, you can look for the specific details concerning the deadline in the contract. Then, it's time to immediately make note of your rescission deadline and the instructions on how to cancel your contract successfully. Write a Cancellation Letter Once you have found the needed information from your contract, make a certified letter stipulating that you want to cancel your timeshare agreement. Make it short and take note that you don't have to explain anything. The important thing is they know that you are exercising your right to rescind your contract by the terms of agreement. Include your name, address, contract number and date of purchase in your cancellation letter. Once the deposit was taken, you must request its return. In some cases, your company will have a form available to simplify the process and you can use that instead. Send Your Rescission Letter before the Deadline More importantly, you must send your rescission letter before the deadline to cancel your timeshare contract. With a certified letter, you can demand a signed receipt, which means that they have to respond. Also, make copies of all documentation. Moreover, make sure that it's postmarked before the deadline so that you have proof you mailed it on time if ever there are conflicts later on. Time to Follow-up On the other hand, if you haven't heard back from the company in 30 days, it's time to follow up and inquire about the delay so that you'll make sure that you can avail of the given rescission period. Owning a timeshare these days is becoming unattractive. As a matter of fact, there are already thousands of current owners who are trying to get rid of their timeshares. Some even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer smart just to get rid of such property. If you're one of the owners who had just purchased such property and suddenly realized you need to get rid of it, you may avail its rescission period and assuming you followed their procedures cited above exactly, then, you will have no problem getting out of your timeshare contract. Brief Assessment of Pre-Foreclosure Real Estate Buying Strategies In this current economic condition, the demand for a creative real estate investor who knows and understands the different strategies and options available to distressed homeowners is at an all-time high. While this next decade will bring more economic hardship to more Americans than any other time in our nation's history, it will also provide more millionaire opportunities for those investors who are able to invest in the knowledge and take action. Here is a brief summary of the myriad purchase strategies most successful real estate investors employ to distinguish our purchase process from that of realtors. Wholesale (30%+ Equity) A wholesale purchase is loosely defined as a property that can be purchased at greater than 30% discount to after-repaired value (ARV). Properties in this category generally require extensive rehabilitation in order to present them to retail buyers via the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The typical seller does not have the time, money, or inclination to take on an extensive rehabilitation project. Consequently&nbsp;<a href=" acheteurs.tv">acheteurs.tv</a>, investors add a significant amount of value by purchasing the property at wholesale cost and engaging the services of a contractor to present the property for sale at a later date. The role of a wholesaler is to find the property, get it under contract, and then 'assign' the contract to an end buyer for an assignment fee. This fee can be anywhere from $500 to $10,000. This strategy is where most beginners cut their teeth because it requires no money or credit to perform a transaction. Fix and Flip Buying a property well below market value, making repairs, and selling conventionally to an end buyer is generally known as a fix and flip strategy and is another one of the most common ways real estate investors begin their career. The goal of a general fix and flip is to put as little time and capital investment as possible into the property and resell as quickly as possible at the low end of the market. For many handymen and tradesman, this strategy is the next logical progression of their careers. Short Sale (-10 - Equity) Short sales are not called such because they are short in time or in paperwork. A short sale is a purchase strategy where an investor engages the seller's lender(s) to discount their lien on the property in order to make the deal more attractive. Banks will generally discount a property if you can prove to them that both the seller and the property are in distress. To prove the seller is in distress, they must show a financial hardship, like medical problems, death of a family member without life insurance, job loss, divorce, etc. Whatever the underlying cause, a homeowner will be required to send in the appropriate documents in order to demonstrate a hardship to the lender. In order for lenders to justify discounting their notes on a property, it generally needs to be "upside down," or have a negative equity position. It will be the responsibility of the Investor to provide proof that the property is in distress. Due to all the paperwork and negotiating involved, a successful short sale can take several months to perform. Subject-to (0% - 30% Equity) Subject-to purchases generally involve a considerable amount of paperwork and are often misunderstood by sellers and many investors. The simplest way to think of a subject-to purchase is to recall the time when notes were fully assumable. Legislation was later passed to discourage or virtually eliminate assumptions so the modern day assumption analog is to purchase properties subject-to. To understand the subject-to concept, it is important to understand that the deed for a property and the mortgage for a property are two completely separate documents. Purchasing a property subject-to simply means that you take ownership by taking the deed subject-to the existing financing remaining in place. The distinction between a formal assumption and a subject-to purchase is that the lender for the property does not have to "sign off" on the transaction. Selling a property subject-to generally benefits sellers financially. Transaction and holding costs eat through any notional equity that sellers will be left with when they sell. Realtors conveniently avoid discussing this with sellers when they arrive at their house to get a listing agreement signed. The goal as investors is to give the seller the same net profits you would get if you marketed, listed, and sold the house with a Realtor, only quicker. The primary value that we add is giving you this same amount of equity and completing the transaction in 5-7 days instead of the months of work and worry that are created using the traditional sales process. A subject-to purchase is typically used when there is good financing on a property relative to the current market interest rates or the possibility of executing a load modification to make the financing favorable. Properties are typically purchased at less than a 20% discount to after-repair value (ARV), which equates to around the same net sale proceeds using the traditional realtor process. If loans are delinquent or small repairs are needed the investor will pick up the tab along with the minor transaction costs for title insurance and escrow fees. Contract Assignment (-5% - 10% Equity) A Contract Assignment (CA) purchase strategy is generally used for properties where the debt is relatively high as compared with the market value of the property. Properties that have between 10% and -10% equity generally fit into this category. This purchase strategy is similar to subject-to described above in many respects. The distinction is that the original seller agrees to take the financial burden of making mortgage payments going forward instead of the investor agreeing to do so. Financial gains from the transaction are also borne by the seller. The investor shows the seller how to execute this type of transaction and assigns the contract to a new buyer. The primary source of value for the seller in this type of transaction is that it opens the buyer pool up significantly. Instead of having to market the property to a cash buyer that has a sufficient down payment and credit rating to purchase with third party financing the seller can finance the transaction with the help of an investor professional. Sellers are also relieved of having to bring cash to closings to fund transaction and holding costs implicit to the traditional sales process The more you learn about creative ways to buy and sell properties, the more opportunities you will have for wealth. As Sophocles once said, "Wisdom outweighs any wealth." There has never been, nor will there ever be, a better time in America to take action in real estate!

In this way, you will discipline yourself to leave your savings account undisturbed and eliminate the temptation to access it except in extreme emergency. It is highly recommended that you rebalance your portfolio on a yearly basis. Being astute and re-balancing your portfolio will help your existing investments in sync with your financial goals and risk tolerance. It also forces you to track your investments. Avoid window shopping. If your personal finances are tight, or if you are trying to follow a strict budget, avoid window shopping, as it is likely to lead to impulse purchases. Think about whether you really need to make the purchase, and if possible, follow the 24-hour rule. Go home, and think about the item overnight. If you still believe it's necessary, you won't feel as guilty when you purchase it, as it's no longer an 'impulse' buy. A good personal finance tip that can help you save money is to share an entree with your spouse or friend when you decide to eat out. Some restaurants serve portions that are too big for one person anyway. By sharing an entree, you'll save a lot more money. Track your monthly spending to see where your money goes. If tracking and budgeting is not something you do now, follow your spending for two months. Use this information to build a realistic budget and identify the areas where you can cut back reasonably. Use the extra money to increase your savings and to pay off credit cards, as their interest rate will only go up. As we have discovered, money is not easy to keep in grasp. It seems as soon as we have money, we do not have it long. However, with the aforementioned money saving tips in this article, your money will not escape your account unnoticed. Personal finance will be a subject of ease once you apply these tips to your budget! Want Top Tips About Personal Finance? Check Out The Helpful Article Below Personal finance is every part of your life that has to do with money. From how much you spend at the grocery store to buying a house. You will read some quick and easy tips on the best things that you should be doing with your money. If you are having trouble managing all of your bills because they are coming due at the same time, you may be able to rearrange your due-dates to make things easier for you. Contact your credit card company or utility company and ask them if you can change your due-date so you have more time between each bill. A major indicator of your financial health is your FICO Score so know your score. Creditors use the FICO Scores to decide how risky it is to give you credit. Each of the three major credit bureaus, Transunion, Equifax, and Experian, assigns a score to your credit record. That score goes up and down depending on your credit usage and payment history over time. A good FICO Score makes a huge difference in the interest rates you can get when buying a home or car. Check out your score before any major purchases to make sure it is a true reflection of your credit history. An income tax refund is not the most efficient way to save. If you get a large refund every year, you should probably lower the amount of withholding and invest the difference where it will earn some interest. If you lack the discipline to save regularly, start an automatic deduction from your paycheck or an automatic transfer to your savings account. If you decide to hire a credit repair firm to help with fixing your credit, make sure you understand what they charge. Many firms charge you by the number of disputes and deletions attempted with no guarantee of success&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bonitrust.de/">https://www.bonitrust.de/</a>. Try to find a credit repair firm that charges fair and has no hidden fees. It is very important to budget the amount that you should be spending over the course of a week, month and year. This will give you a rough estimate as to where you should be setting your limits so that you never find yourself in a poor situation financially. Use budgeting techniques to maintain security. If you find yourself using a bank debit card, consider switching to a credit card. One great use for credit cards is for daily items, such as gasoline or food. Some credit cards offer incentives for purchasing things, such as gas and travel expenses. If your employer offers a match to your 401K, make sure you're contributing at least the amount they match. When an employer offers to match your funds, they are essentially giving you free money. The money you contribute will help you reach retirement goals and is tax free. It's a win-win situation, all around. Find a free checking account. There are some accounts that will charge you a fee to hold your money there, and you want to stay far away from those. Why spend money when you don't have to? Having a checking account with fees can end up costing you hundreds of dollars every year. Use cheap sponges to make your own disposable paintbrushes. You can buy these sponges a dozen or more at a time at the dollar store. Cut them to the size you need and clip them to a spring-loaded clothes pin. You'll have a perfectly functioning paintbrush that cost only a few pennies to make! Make sure you are carrying cash or your debit card for small purchases. You do not want to have to put small purchases on your credit card and end up paying interest on them. Some merchants also put restrictions on purchases made with a credit card not allowing you to put under 10 dollars on it. Do not buy something new when you can get something just as good used. This goes for books, movies, and games. You can save yourself a lot of money by just shopping around online for used items. Sometimes you can save as much as 75% off retail for these types of purchases. The first step in managing your personal finance is to pay down your debt. Debt carries interest, and the longer you hold on to debt, the more interest you will have to pay. You may also pay penaties if payments are overdue. So to rein in the runaway interests, pay off your debts as soon as possible. When you have done that, then you can start saving. It's easy to justify spending on small luxuries, but you should be aware of how those expenses add up. For example, instead of purchasing coffee from a cafe every day, make some at home and take it with you in a travel mug. Instead of going out for lunch every day, prepare one yourself. This will give you some extra savings that could be used for more significant purchases. A great tip that can help you with your finances is to open up a checking account. Checking accounts are great because they allow you to store money without having to pay any interest. Check with different banks to see which bank has the best checking account for you. Regardless of any bad situations, you should not risk your retirement funds to escape trouble. There are always options, so avoid loans and their like. Damaging your future prospects to solve a current problem is only going to postpone your heartache. One of the most botched personal-finance decision's people make is the unnecessary purchase of a new car. Because a new car depreciates by 20-30% as soon as it leaves the dealer, it is one of the worst investments you can make with your money. Consider buying a barely used version of the same model, and you can reduce your costs considerably without compromising the reliability of your car. While some of these tips may seem a bit complicated, deciding exactly what to do with your money may take some time and a lot of thought. Don't rush into any decision when it comes to money. Always make sure to do your research so you do not lose everything you have been working for.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/327616211584642496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2022/03/want-great-ideas-about-personal-finance.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/327616211584642496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/327616211584642496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2022/03/want-great-ideas-about-personal-finance.html' title=' Want Great Ideas About Personal Finance?

Don't you hate waiting in line behind all of those other people who went shopping too? Luckily for you, online shopping is easier than ever. By clicking your mouse, it is possible to get what you want right at home. This piece is full of essential online shopping tips. Browse several different stores and compare products and prices before you decide to buy. If you are not brand-loyal, you will also want to compare brands. Select one with all the features you need and compare prices, too. Frequently look at your preferred online sites, as new products are constantly coming out. If you decide to buy something online, don't give them any information if they ask for your personal Social Security number. No site has a reason to need this information to complete a purchase. It's a scam if they want your SSN. Therefore, immediately exit the site and search elsewhere. Many people find that buying a membership to a particular website where they shop a lot is beneficial. Amazon Prime usually costs $79 per year, but you get so much for that money. Some of the benefits include a discount on same-day or overnight shopping, as well as free 2-shipping on items in stock. Also, you get to stream movies from their movie library for free. That adds up to a lot of savings. Figure out what the sizing charts say when looking through clothes online. Shopping for clothes "sight unseen" can leave you with pieces that might not fit you right. Online stores will generally have sizing charts that can be used to determine your correct size. Also, it is not uncommon for online stores to offer free returns for undamaged items that do not fit properly, so don't let fitting fears deter you. The services mentioned make online shopping quite painless. You can improve your searches for online retailers by only searching through sites whose only searches are for online retailers. This doesn't mean Google is not a good choice; however, you may get more results than you can actually use. Websites that are specifically created to search for online retailers, such as ShopStyle.com, can narrow your search to include only online retailers you are interested in. Register with any online company you shop from frequently. Not only does this make check-out quick, but it provides you opportunities for deals. You can get their newsletter which may include information on discounts. Getting this type of account set up can also keep your orders organized and make returns smoother. Review product pages for items that interest you. Consider the specifics of the item so that you realize what features you should have. Sometimes the picture is not exactly what you are ordering and is only representative of the item. Review your online purchases before submitting, always. Getting exactly the right color, style and size can be tricky depending on what the website looks like. Review all details thoroughly to make sure you know what you will be getting. Sometimes items that have been refurbished are called surplus inventory. Though an item is marked refurbished, take a good look at its description. Either it was fixed for resale or it was an overstocked item. Searching for surplus or used products can lead to the discovery of great deals. Ideally, you should consider only shopping with online sites within the US. Shopping at online stores based within the United States ensures that the consumer protection laws work to protect you. If you buy outside the United States, you do not get the same levels of protection. Utilize online calculators if you're unsure of just how good an online deal really is. This makes sense particularly in the case of large purchases involving financing. Crunch all the numbers to ensure that you really are doing the right thing. What you find may surprise you. You should check a retailer's return policies before you purchase any item. They can vary from merchant to merchant. This way if you have an item that isn't what you want or doesn't fit properly, you are able to return it hassle-free. You get stuck with an item if you buy it without returns available. After a hard work day, you don't want to run out to deal with chaos and noise in the mall. Why not put your feet up, relax, and handle your necessary shopping chores with the convenience of the Internet? This restores your serenity. Online shopping alleviates the need to immerse yourself in unpleasant crowds. When you shop online, you can do so from the comfort of your home! That's quite a time-saver, isn't it? Having said that, it is important that you are aware of the key pieces of information outlined to you in this article to ensure you avoid the common pitfalls that you can make when shopping online.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/1104308278452947482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-best-article-for-those-who-enjoy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/1104308278452947482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/1104308278452947482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-best-article-for-those-who-enjoy.html' title=' The Best Article For Those Who Enjoy Shopping Online'/><author><name>dfgsrf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10114953455306589917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235287976021242381.post-9176195430859750371</id><published>2021-12-29T07:54:00.003-08:00</published><updated>2021-12-29T07:54:17.488-08:00</updated><title type='text'> Online Shopping Doesn't Have To Be Frustrating, We Can Help</title><content type='html'> Online shopping has both perks and disadvantages, but what in life doesn't <a href="https://www.ornament-shop.com/">https://www.ornament-shop.com/</a>? The more you know about online shopping, the more good things you will find about it, though. The following paragraphs have the secrets to getting it done right. If you shop online a lot, than you need your antivirus and malware suite to be top-grade and updated. Lots of shopping sites can be the targets of hackers and those wishing to steal your identity. If your software alerts you that a site is not secure, take your business elsewhere. There is no reason to provide your SSN when shopping online. No website should need your social security number in order to complete a purchase. If they are being asked during your transaction, then red flags should waving at you for attention. Leave this site, and find one that has a better reputation. Signing up for a websites newsletter can get you special offers and discounts for the sites that you shop at most often. Frequently, people who have opted in to a website mailing list get the best discounts and coupons. These stores will continue to offer special deals to their loyal customers. This can result to significant savings over time. Amazon Prime is great for those who shop online frequently. This membership only costs $79 annually, and you get a lot for the money. Membership entitles you to free 2-day shipping and discounts on expedited shipping. It also includes access to their movie library. That will save you money as well. Don't risk your information and finances on a site that is unfamiliar or shady. Trustworthy retailers often have stamps from Cybertrust or Verisign on their sites, so you can be sure they are safe. Read the product description carefully for any item you purchase. Consider the specifics of the item so that you realize what features you should have. Remember that product pictures on the website may not be totally accurate. When you shop online, consider waiting until the holidays to make your non-urgent purchases. Some holidays are known for their terrific sales, and online retailers tend to follow this custom. Many retailers also offer free shipping along with great sales prices. If you haven't noticed the small, golden lock by the address bar when you shop on online stores that are trusted, look for it in the future. This icon means that the business you're shopping with has a secure website and is taking care of keeping your information safe. While nothing can be fool-proof, it sure does help you to have this safety mechanism. If you happen to be an online auction novice, make certain you research the way disputes will be handled prior to making any purchase. Some sites serve as intermediaries in the event of disputes. Some websites just host the items so that the seller and buyer can meet up and don't get involved with problems. Don't spend any money before you find out if there are coupon codes available. Retail Me Not and other sites actively catalog discount codes for a lot of sites. If you cannot locate what you are looking for on one of these sites, do a further Internet search yourself. You are sure to find a good deal. Look for mobile apps for your favorite online retailers. That can really be quite helpful. First if you aren't where you live and are somewhere that you're waiting, you can get some shopping done. You can also use smart phones and apps to take a picture of an item you want or scan the barcode. Then, find the best price and most stores will match that price to get your sale right then and there. You can get great discounts with daily deal websites. Keep in mind that some of these offers may be unrealistic. Make sure to carefully check the deal and details out like limited uses, shipping costs, and the seller's reputation. Sign up for your favorite online retailers' newsletters. Newsletters provide you information which isn't made public. Additionally, some sites offer members-only sales a day or two before the sale is offered to the general public. If you simultaneously shop at multiple sites, it's tempting to use the same password repeatedly. You need to mix up things and use different, difficult passwords to better security. If you'd like to remember more easily what your passwords are, just store them in a document that is secure. There are shopping forums that you should consider joining if you are serious about saving money. That way, you'll get alerts from people who are also looking for great deals. It's a smart way to discover sites you wouldn't have otherwise; so make sure you get all the benefits by joining some forums. With your new base of knowledge, you should be ready to get the ball rolling and realize big savings. You can reduce your expenditures dramatically just by following a few simple steps. Whenever you are aware of all the money that can be saved by shopping online, you will be pleased that you decided to check out this article.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/9176195430859750371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/online-shopping-doesnt-have-to-be.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/9176195430859750371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/9176195430859750371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/online-shopping-doesnt-have-to-be.html' title=' Online Shopping Doesn't Have To Be Frustrating, We Can Help'/><author><name>dfgsrf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10114953455306589917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235287976021242381.post-4616120158585984864</id><published>2021-12-29T07:53:00.013-08:00</published><updated>2021-12-29T07:53:53.358-08:00</updated><title type='text'> Need A Change In Environment?

You need people who are dedicated workers willing to put in the effort to create their own downlines and give profit to both of you. As with many things, being a successful network marketer can be a matter of visualizing your success. It is important to note that your success is directly related to your network size. Take the time to think about your network marketing projects, and visualize them with as many details as you can. Social networking sites are a great starting point for network marketing, until such time as you can establish your own website. A dynamic, well-written blog can also fill the bill. Maintaining a social networking presence, as well as your own website, would be very strategic options. A cyber presence is key to increasing the size of your network.

You might not be equipped with adequate resources or manpower to engage in this kind of advertising. Outsourcing allows you to spend your time on more urgent matters while enjoying speedy turn around time with advertising. Try to get people that specialize in different areas of businesses to join your network. Business professionals with commission and sales experience are especially valuable recruits, because they are strongly motivated and already accustomed to performance-based income. Professionals in business also tend to be more receptive to recruitment. Set up your network marketing site like a tutorial is set up. Users who find the instructions helpful will spend more time on your site and word of mouth will increase traffic. This will make you more likely to add members to your network and increase ad revenue. When evaluating a potential network marketing opportunity, you must consider your budget and financial limitations. This can help you to improve the quality of your business and ensure that you have enough resources during the year. You'll be able to review your budget to see where your money is going, and where it might be better spent. Making sure you put your customers first is a must in network marketing. Without it you're nothing; the customers are what make you successful. Customer satisfaction is directly linked to the success of your business. One good practice is to spend 80% of your time listening and only 20% talking. A useful communication technique for network marketers is neural-linguistic programming. Conversely, statements centering on the word "you" are important when trying to convince someone else of an idea. " A wonderful suggestions is to keep an open mind to be successful when you are network marketing. Having an open mind to new ideas will enable you to take advantage of many opportunities that can boost the success of your business. Perform a test on your products before beginning any marketing campaign. You may learn something new about the product that will help you develop your strategy. If you are unable to stand behind the products, you should not work with the manufacturer or brand. They may pay well, but they may not be successful in the long run. People love to get a deal! Seek out network marketing opportunities that include coupons to share with your customers. There are several marketing strategies you can use that involve coupons. For example, you can distribute them to loyal customers, or start a raffle with coupon prizes. Remember, your customers will be better persuaded to purchase your product if they feel like they are getting it for a great deal. To stay up-to-date with new information, join a network marketing forum. When you access places like forums, you find people who are already successful and willing to share their knowledge of network marketing. Don't forget to use these forums to reach out to other professionals in your niche, as well. Use every venue available to you to promote your network marketing.

Luckily for wannabe business owners, one of the most shared things on the net is information. Read this article for article marketing tips that can help you boost your business. Make sure to request feedback from your readers at the conclusion of all your emails. Your readers will feel useful if you allow them to tell you what they like and dislike. When you allow feedback, you can see what they are thinking. They find it useful, but you can also learn new ways to boost your marketing skills and really appeal to your audience. Starting a blog for your online business is a great way to promote your leadership. Post content from the heart that showcases your leadership abilities, as well as your humor and integrity. Having blogs that demonstrate your ability to follow current industry trends will show potential customers that you know your stuff. Many websites that accept articles will pay the author based on clicks or page views. The money you get from your articles does not have to be a one-time deal. You can continuously make money. It can potentially make you quite a bit of money. Unless the websites where you are posting your articles are getting rid of them at a certain point, they will always be active on the web for people to find. You also have the option to use an article as a means of promoting other articles; this will gradually expand your loyal audience. Make sure your articles contain a call-to-action link. Even though readers wish for a solution in five steps, they know one article is not going to really have all the answers. Be sure to understand your purpose and goal in writing an article. Build this step into the body of your article and direct them into a sales funnel. If any celebrities have been seen using your product, ask their permission to use this fact. An unpaid endorsement of a product by a celebrity can create incredible demand for it and any similar items. Never lie about who uses your product as they can successfully sue you if you do. Be sure your articles have catchy titles. In order to entice readers to read your articles, you must peak their interest right off the bat. Placing your keyword in the title gives it extra emphasis. Format your writing with numbers or bullets. Articles in a list form are easier to understand and faster to read. Using numbers or bullets to organize your information allows your readers to quickly focus on the most important material. Your articles should be between 500 and 700 words in length, and ensure that your paragraphs are only three to five sentences long. This is the criteria that most article directories use, so following it will make the distribution of your articles easier. The criteria requirements for blogs is a little different, at around 300-400 words. Are you short on inspiration for your articles? Try scouring the news for interesting stories that relate to your marketing niche. Create alerts at news sites that will inform you of breaking news. This helps keep your writing as current as possible and interesting to your audience. Identify your target audience before beginning article marketing. If you know the specific group you want to reach when writing your content, it is possible to customize articles to suit that particular demographic. It is imperative to select the best keywords for successful article marketing. If you need help choosing the right keywords for your website, consider using the free Keyword Tool offered by Google. Always stay on top of which keywords are driving results and which are performing poorly. Automation is the best way to engage in article marketing. Software and apps are available for any and every function, and article marketing is no exception. Make comparisons of each application, and decide if they will truly save you time. Lastly, compare the cost of each and you should be able to find one that suits your needs. A wise tip for online article promotion is to have all your articles published in the form of an eBook after you have completed enough of them. This eBook will provide a great opportunity for your customers to read up on your products and services and help you to develop a more comprehensive email mailing list. Keep a detailed record of every article you submit to various directories. By keeping track of statistics, you can see which articles are doing the best and you can continue making topics similar to those ones. You can then write more articles centered around and expanding on those topics. If you aren't fully aware of this brand of marketing, then it's safe to say that these tips were very enlightening for you. Some of the methods seem straightforward, and they really are. Often the best marketing strategies are the simplest and most obvious ones.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/1561526507444182281/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/boost-your-business-by-promoting-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/1561526507444182281'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/1561526507444182281'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/boost-your-business-by-promoting-it.html' title=' Boost Your Business By Promoting It Through Articles.'/><author><name>dfgsrf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10114953455306589917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235287976021242381.post-2238960740747988513</id><published>2021-12-11T08:32:00.004-08:00</published><updated>2021-12-11T08:32:25.895-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Jungle Wild Slots - A Slot Player Favorite</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;Is there a treasure hunt in your future? Allow Jungle Wild Slots to transport you into an area which time forgot. A treasure of great wealth is waiting for you amongst the ruins of a forgotten civilization, deep inside a forbidding jungle. Fortunately for you, there are indications and suggestions as to the site of this prize. Currently, it's down to you to uncover the secrets and follow the indications that should lead you to discover the riches beyond your own wildest dreams.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">As the creator of games such as Monopoly Slots and Men in Black Slots, WMS Gaming has a knack for of manufacturing great themed slot machine games. As part of their G+ Series of slots, Jungle Wild slot machine games are another winner in the extended line of good slot games like Zeus Slot games and Palace of Riches Slot machine games. What makes these slot machines popular with slot players are the free bonus spins feature and the "Big Win" celebration feature, both of which are a hallmark of the G+ slot machine game games. When you hit a&nbsp;<a class="in-cell-link" href="http://134.19.190.90/" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Calibri, Arial; font-size: 11pt;" target="_blank">agen judi slot pragmatic indonesia</a>&nbsp;decent winner, like say 100 coins or more, the "Big Win" is shown on the screen. Images of coins exploding out of an imaginary fountain are shown on the screen along with the words "Big Win". During the "Big Win" countdown of your winnings, a song will play from the speakers of the machine. This tends to take place after a significant solitary spin win as well as following the conclusion of the free spin feature.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The Jungle Wild slot machine is a five reel, 20 payline slot machine. While it's a true penny slot, you can play as much as twenty coins per line. And so, your greatest potential wager is usually $4.00 for each spin. Slot players appear to win a small amount on just about every single spin. The free spins are what keep people coming back to Jungle Wild Slots.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">The scatter symbol for Jungle Wild Slots is the pyramid. The free spin feature is initiated if three pyramid symbols appear upon the reels. In addition, during the course of the free spin games, a person might win even more free spins. This can be achieved the very same way your first bonus spins have been awarded, by simply getting 3 or more pyramid symbols show up upon the screen. Two of the reels are wild while you play the free spins. Wild images replace every other symbol on the featured reels so that, in effect, every icon on each reel is wild. The wild reels are usually picked arbitrarily and vary during every single spin. As you can see you can total up some substantial cash winnings during the free bonus spins. The free spins are also where you will experience the most fun.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">There are a lot of different slot machines to choose from once you are in the casino. But, Jungle Wild Slots is one of my favorite slot games. Quite a few other slot machine gamers have developed a liking for this slot machine. I have seen Jungle Wild slot video games in many Indian casinos, Las Vegas casinos and even during Harrah's New Orleans. During weekend evening hours, you may not find a Jungle Wild Slots machine unoccupied. Personally, I can't truthfully claim that I've hit a big winner playing this slot. Nonetheless, my wife has several times. Most often, quite possibly the most you are likely to win is something like $500, when you are wagering the max bet.<p style="background-color: #dddddd; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Arial, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">A bit of advice from me towards those playing Jungle Wild Slots. It's been our experience that once you hit any "big win" somewhere around $200 or maybe more, a person's best move will be to cash out from the machine and go find another slot machine. Wins of this size take place very sporadically. I've seen lots of people play a bunch of their winnings back in the slot machine and afterwards wish they'd cashed out of the game instead. Obviously, you will play your style and within your own comfort zone as it pertains to risk and bankroll.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/feeds/2238960740747988513/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/jungle-wild-slots-slot-player-favorite.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/2238960740747988513'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/6235287976021242381/posts/default/2238960740747988513'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://kdas5a7.blogspot.com/2021/12/jungle-wild-slots-slot-player-favorite.html' title='Jungle Wild Slots - A Slot Player Favorite'/><author><name>dfgsrf</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10114953455306589917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
