You have checked all the windows to make sure they are closed and locked, doubled-checked the doors, let the neighbors know you are going out of town, informed the mail so it does not pile up and activated all the passive security systems in your home. However, one area is often overlooked as you pull out of your garage and leave: The garage you just left.</h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A modern-day garage is a prime spot for thieves to gain access to your home. <img alt="" src="https://77fe644c572ff1ba8a08-aa3fcb8dba820dc6b4fabb3e45b3ad4d.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/media/23259/article_380/IMG_0068.jpg?1478123238" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; height: 236px; margin: 7px; vertical-align: middle; width: 380px;" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
There are three basic types of garages that your home may have and each one requires its own safety measures. The first two are attached garages, and they can be divided into two categories: The front of the house garage that faces the street and the rear garage, which is out of view from the street.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The third type of garage is the detached garage. It is particularly dangerous if this type of garage is not secured properly because it offers a staging ground for thieves to enter the premises.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Here are a few pieces of advice that will help you protect your home:</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Use Your Garage.</strong> Park your car in the garage when it is not being used or if you are leaving by other means. Many people leave their garage door remote in their car, and all it takes is something like a broken window in your car to give a thief access to your home. To combat this, you can also make sure to remove the remote if you leave your car outside of the garage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Disable the Electric Motor.</strong> If you are leaving for an extended period of time, detach your electric garage door opener. This is usually a very simple thing to do. Most electric garage door openers have a rope or chain you pull down to disconnect the electric motor from the chain that operates the door. This protects you in two ways: First, if a thief used a frequency scanning device to obtain your code, it will be of no use since it is not operable. Second, it would require a thief to physically go to the door, which the neighbors could see.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Bolt It.</strong> Use a manual sliding bolt-style lock on the inside of your garage door that can only be opened from the inside.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Keep It In Good Condition.</strong> Make sure the garage door is properly functioning and that there is no damage to the panels through which a thief could access your home.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Keep It Contained.</strong> Do not leave important items in the garage and make sure to lock the door to your home. If thieves do break into the garage, you want to make sure that is all they can access. Place a deadbolt and anti-kick device on the door that leads to the garage.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">The Same Goes for Detached Garages.</strong> For the detached garage, make sure you follow the same principles as if it was connected to your home. If the garage is out of view from the street where neighbors could spot a break-in, these rules become even more essential. Most importantly, do not keep valuables in your garage.</div>

3 Trends in Kitchen Hardware to Keep an Eye On</h2>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You don’t have to transform your entire kitchen to feel like your kitchen has been upgraded. All you have to do is update some of your kitchen hardware, like the knobs on your cabinets or the handles on your drawers. You’ll get that new kitchen feel for a fraction of the cost. However, choose your new hardware wisely. Here are 3 trends in kitchen hardware to keep an eye on.<img alt="" src="https://77fe644c572ff1ba8a08-aa3fcb8dba820dc6b4fabb3e45b3ad4d.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/media/23835/article_380/kitchen_light.jpg?1478706650" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; float: right; height: 254px; margin: 7px; vertical-align: middle; width: 380px;" /></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">1. Artsy knobs</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The great thing about the term “artsy” is that it’s totally up to your interpretation and discretion. You can take your pick of colorful knobs, varying sized knobs and knobs of many different styles. Got a theme for your kitchen? Go all out by getting knobs that matches your vision. </div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Whatever your method of madness, personalize your kitchen in the subtlest and classiest of ways so you can impress guests. You can peruse the knob section at Home Depot or Lowes for ideas, or you can check out what’s new in the DIY section of the internet.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">2. Bar handles</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
You can make your kitchen seem more modern and sleek without replacing a single panel or backsplash tile. Just incorporate long, straight lines in your kitchen with bar handles.<br style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;" />These handles are most commonly seen in restaurant kitchens: They’re long and slim metal bars that run the length of drawers. They’re not only great for design but also for utility. You can be completely engrossed in a recipe, reach over to grab a drawer handle and grasp it every time, without fail.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Now, if you have a theme for your kitchen, these handles are maybe not the best way to go. If you’re going for minimalist and even futuristic vibe, these handles are for you.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">3. Finger handles</strong></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Although they may look like it, finger handles aren’t actually tiny shelves for mice (knock on wood that there aren’t really mice in your kitchen). These flat, stainless steel handles work great for the lower, base cabinets in your kitchen. Just slip a finger or two under the small lip of the handle to open your cabinets.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
They look great and they’re completely functional. No more bending down to open a cabinet just to discover the pot you were looking for wasn’t even in there.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Pro tip: Updating the hardware in your kitchen is a great way to spruce up your kitchen before showing your house to prospective buyers. When you’re ready to sell your home, give us a shout. We’re here to help.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #333333;">Many homeowners love </span><span style="color: black;">hardwood floors</span><span style="color: #333333;"> not only for their look and durability, but also because they're simple to clean—at least relative to </span>carpeting<span style="color: #333333;">, tile, and many other surfaces. But maintaining spick-and-span hardwood floors isn't </span><i style="color: #333333;">quite</i><span style="color: #333333;"> as simple as it may seem, which leaves many homeowners wondering: What's the best way to clean hardwood floors, anyway?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“There’s a <i>responsibility</i> that comes with owning a wood floor,” says <b>Brett Miller</b>, vice president of education and certification for the <a href="http://www.nwfa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0099cc;">National Wood Flooring Association</span></a> in St. Louis. “People who haven’t had a wood floor before don’t always consider the importance of properly maintaining those floor coverings.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If you want to keep your hardwood floors looking their best, here are the steps to take.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Remove debris regularly<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Your first line of defense is to remove dirt and debris as quickly and often as possible. Even the smallest specks of dirt act like sandpaper, and can scratch the floor's surface and make it look dull. So make sure to vacuum or sweep regularly—ideally once every two to three days, or more for high-traffic areas, says Miller. If you vacuum, use the hard surface setting on your machine, which turns off the beater bar and lowers the vacuum to the floor for better suction power.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Wipe spills immediately<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hardwood floors may look impervious to spills compared with carpet, but certain substances can actually eat away at the top coat of polish on your floor. Some common offenders include milk, mustard, and pet urine. So if Fido or Fluffy isn't fully house trained, make sure to pick up after accidents pronto.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Mop the right way<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">A damp (but not sopping) mop can also help keep a hardwood floor clean, provided you use the right cleaner (more on what not to use next). Most wood floor installers or manufacturers recommend cleaners that contain isopropyl alcohol, which dries quickly, and are available at home supply stores.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">To make your own solution for a monthly clean, add a capful of white vinegar to a gallon of water, which will help dissolve grease and grime on the floor, but not strip the finish. To remove shoe scuffs, rub marks with a tennis ball, which cleans without scratching the finish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Whatever you do, do not clean wood floors with a steam mop, Miller says. “Steam is horrible for wood floors. It opens the pores in woods and damages the finish, causing irreversible damage to any wood floor.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">Use the right cleaning products<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">“Wood is probably the easiest floor covering to keep clean, but you have to use the right cleaning products,” says Miller. In fact, contrary to what you might think, he adds, “anything that says ‘polish’ or ‘shine’ indicates you’re adding a layer of something to the floor, and it’s not a protective coating.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">The result? Your floor might look shiny right after you're done, but it will quickly smear and look dull (prompting you to clean your floors again). So when in doubt, stick with cleaning solutions recommended by a hardwood floor specialist rather than what's being hawked at your average grocery store.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; mso-outline-level: 2;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 15.0pt;">And if it <i>still</i> doesn't look clean...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">If vacuuming and mopping don’t restore the luster to your hardwood floors, it may not be due to lack of elbow grease. Eventually, wood floors withstand enough damage that they should be refinished—meaning the top layer of wood is sanded down to remove marks, then covered with sealant. Hardwood floors should be resealed about once every 10 years, or every two to five years if they get substantial traffic from kids or pets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Home owners are showing preferences toward more drawers over extra cabinets. Bold hardware can then added to the drawers to add more design appeal, PulteGroup says.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /><span style="background-color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18pt;">The owners of the 1.3 acre Testa property on Royal Palm Way, the Frisbees, are looking to buy the .8-acre site at the east end of the block between Royal Poinciana Way and Sunset Avenue.</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18pt;">They will redevelop the Testa properties and the adjacent four parcels that include Nick and Johnnie’s restaurant, Evelyn & Arthur’s clothing store, Eyes on the Island, the Palm Beach Book Store, Classic Collections boutique, a via and one apartment, owned by Vesenaz Inc.</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18pt;">Closing for these properties is planned for Friday.</span></span></span><br /><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0in;">

<span style="background-color: #783f04; color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">It will be interesting to watch the revitalization of this well-known area. Several of these buildings are landmarked and would need approval for any changes from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. That includes two Arte Moderne-style buildings, Evenly and Arthur at 100 North County Road, and the Classic Collections building at 118 North County Road. Nick & Johnnie’s façade is also landmarked.<o:p></o:p></span><br /><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #783f04; color: #f6b26b; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Other property owners on Royal Poinciana Way, adjacent to Testa's, have been asked if they would be interested in selling their properties. Two have said no but they are interested in the new developments that are coming. These owners have been approached by others, including The Breakers, owners of the old Palm Beach Daily News building at 265 Royal Poinciana Way, who at this time do not plan to sell but would consider buying.</span></div>

This is a pretty area, exuding Palm Beach‘s glamourous luxe feeling and relaxed environment. The forthcoming condominiums will be sold quickly, in this highly desirable neighborhood.</span></div>

<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In June 1983, I was at a crossroads. I was twenty-four years old and had spent a year working for Pizza Hut. And while I had a good time traveling the country and stuffing myself, the job was starting to get old. That summer I made a pros and cons list. I wrote down various career options — going to an established company, a startup, or a consulting firm — and ticked through the benefits and drawbacks of each possible move. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 24pt; text-align: center;"><br /></span><span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large; line-height: 24pt; text-align: center;">First on my list were established tech companies such as Apple and Atari. Marketing positions at these companies would have provided the tech on-ramp I was seeking, but with big companies come internal politics and red tape. There were some pros to those jobs but also a whole lot of cons.</span></span></div>

<b style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span style="background: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Co-founder and former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of America Online (AOL)</span></i></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When considering the possibility of joining a marketing consulting firm in San Francisco, I noted that while it would be fun to work in Silicon Valley, I had three concerns: “stuffy, tough sell, don’t like consulting.” So that was a pass, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Finally, there was CVC, the startup I ended up choosing. I saw a lot upside to going there: an exciting idea, promising technology, a chance to make a big impact in a growing market — and, best of all, the opportunity to work alongside and learn from entrepreneur Bill von Meister. I listed only one downside: “future uncertain.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Everything about the CVC job was up in the air, from my future role in the company to the future of the company itself. Of course, you know how the story ends (the company became AOL), but at the time this was a big concern. In a way, though, that uncertainty was as much a pro as it was a con. Sure, an uncertain future meant I could be out on the streets looking for a job in a few months’ time. But it also meant a chance to make my own destiny. A chance, as it turned out, to play a role in making the Internet a part of everyday life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I’m often reminded of the famous newspaper ad Ernest Shackleton is said to have placed before his 1914 attempt to explore Antarctica: “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages. Bitter cold. Long months of complete darkness. Constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” That’s the beauty of entrepreneurship, and that’s what drew me to CVC. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The bottom line is that when I was twenty-four, I had no idea where my own “hazardous journey” would lead me. I didn’t know whether my stock options would even be worth the paper they were printed on. All I knew was that in the uncertainty lay immense challenges — and enormous opportunities. There was a boundless electronic frontier to explore, an online Antarctica filled with peril and possibility. And I knew that I needed to be a part of charting that uncertain future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I think about what the world will look like thirty years from now and try to anticipate what problems we need to solve — to say nothing of the problems we face now — I see another uncertain future. But I also believe that, as in my case, this uncertainty isn’t a disadvantage. Once again, we’ve got a pro masquerading as a con. Once again, we have the opportunity — and, I believe, the obligation — to set a new course. Now we just have to think about what all of us — entrepreneurs, business leaders, government officials, everyday Americans with good ideas — can and must do to make sure we arrive there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none; color: #232629; padding: 0in;">Ride the wave</span></b><span style="color: #232629; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Third Wave of the Internet is coming, the moment when the Internet transforms from something we interact with to something that interacts with everything around us. It will mean the rise of the Internet of Everything, where everything we do will be enabled by an Internet connection, much in the way it’s already enabled by electricity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This process will lead to the transformation of some of the industries that are vital to our daily lives, which will make the barriers to success higher, and the need to form partnerships much more central, as a way of building credibility, opening doors, and getting past industry gatekeepers. One such partner will likely be the government, which has an interest in regulating the industries most affected by the Third Wave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Don’t confuse your views of government with the role of government, which can be either an impediment to progress or a driver of it, and which cannot be ignored. Much Third Wave innovation will come from impact entrepreneuring focused on building “profit plus purpose” companies that have a measurable impact on the world. And this innovation will be geographically dispersed, as the rest of the country (and the world) rises up to complement the innovation now occurring largely in a few places, such as Silicon Valley. The challenges in the Third Wave will be vexing, and as Thomas Edison reminds us, “Vision without execution is hallucination.” But if we rally together, and execute with precision, we can remain the world’s most innovative and entrepreneurial nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So that’s my thesis, in a nutshell. Think of it as the CliffsNotes — or <i><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">BuzzFeed</span></i> — guide to the Third Wave. One more parting thought before I go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><span style="border: 1pt none; color: #232629; padding: 0in;">A message to corporate America</span></b><span style="color: #232629; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To corporate leaders, it’s time to develop a perpetual sense of paranoia and curiosity. It’s time to both fear the future and seize its promise, to restlessly drive to master it, no matter what it holds. Regardless of where you and your company stand at the end of today, you can always wake up tomorrow to find that things have changed drastically. You jeopardize your position if you don’t strive to anticipate <i><span style="border: 1pt none; padding: 0in;">how </span></i>it will change. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Keep your finger on the pulse of technology, and consider what its beat might mean for your business. Take stock of trends. Resist the temptation to dismiss up-and-coming technologies. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Empower your team to ask questions and, where no answers exist, to create new ones. Give them the space to innovate and experiment. Take more “shots on goal.” Allow more crazy ideas to bubble up, because the very best ideas often sound ridiculous when first proposed. Surely, executives at Marriott and Hilton would have thought that the idea of renting an air mattress or a room in an apartment was insane. But in 2015, seven years after starting, Airbnb was valued at $25 billion, making it worth more than either of the hospitality powerhouses, both of which have been around for more than half a century. And it’s not just about relative valuations: it’s also about sudden shifts in market dynamics. As Senator Marco Rubio has pointed out, Airbnb is now the largest hospitality provider, yet they don’t own a single hotel. Similarly, Uber is the largest transportation company, though they don’t own a single vehicle. And neither company existed a decade ago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Remember that disruption has broadened. Your competitors won’t just emerge from the low end of your industry. Increasingly, they’ll come from other industries, too. Apple wasn’t in the music business, nor was Google in the mobile phone business — until suddenly they were. So build a network in and around your company — and look for the opportunity in every direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The future belongs to those who endeavor to create it. That’s why we go into business — because we have a vision for the future that we want to see through. So don’t let temporary successes permanently blind your future ambitions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You have the resources — human, capital, otherwise — to take on ambitious projects. And so you must decide — is it better to use those recourse to resist change or to drive it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 24pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #232629; font-family: "inherit" , "serif"; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And remember this: In the Third Wave, partnerships will become more important. You’ll have more opportunities in the next decade than you did in the past decade. So don’t just play defense, play offense. Don’t just defend, attack. But don’t go it alone. As Helen Keller said, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">In response to Rabbi Mortimer J. Cohen’s letter describing his vision for a simple, modern synagogue that could hold up to 1500 people, Frank Lloyd Write responded, “Dear Rabbi Cohen, I would like to talk to you concerning your project.” Thus began a six year collaboration between the Rabbi and the world famous Architect that led to the beautiful sanctuary above in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">Rabbi Cohen said in his request, cost would be $500,000, there would be no windows but the glass roof and rotunda would let in light. Walls would have acoustic treatment. Included would be classrooms, meeting rooms and storage rooms, all to be air-conditioned. Sketches of his ideas were included. Wright’s goal was to have congregants walk in and feel “as if they were resting in the hands of God.” The gentle slope of the horseshoe formation achieved the goal of seeing others around you no matter where you were seated rather than the backs of heads and profiles. On bright sunny days when a cloud passes overhead, the room darkens, at sunset the room turns gold, and when the sky is blue, you see blue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">This is the only synagogue that Wright ever designed. Many of his textures, colors and geometric motifs such as triangles and hexagons are repeated thruout the structure, creating a powerful design unity. Modern materials were used including concrete, steel and glass, finished with gold tones of bronze and desert sand, using Wrights signature red, and matte silver aluminum.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">The building was dedicated on September 20, 1959, five months after Wright’s death. Shortly thereafter both the American Institute of Architects and the National Trust for Historic Preservation singled out Beth Sholom Synagogue as one of the seventeen Wright buildings most worthy of preservation. Later an elevator was added, restrooms were upgraded and sidewalks were widened. Visitors can watch a 20-minute documentary narrated by Leonard Nimoy and study exhibits. Tours are suspended when events are held such as weddings, bar mitzvahs and funerals. No tours are given on Saturdays or Jewish holidays. School continues thruout the year. The vegetable garden grows food for the food pantry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.4px;">Since about 2001, Augusta National Golf Club, dubbed the most powerful golf club on earth, has spent about $40MM to entice locals to sell their properties and thereby bought up much of the land bordering their exclusive grounds. BUT there is one holdout on the northwest corner of the club owned by a couple who just celebrated their 60<sup>th</sup> wedding anniversary. The area is a free parking lot, Gate 6A, now bulldozed, that was once a fully lived in neighborhood, where kids happily played in the streets. The house in question at 1112 Stanley Road is in the middle of Gate 6-A.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In Golf Digest’s 2009 list of 100 greatest courses, Augusta National ranked #1. In Golfweek Magazine’s 2011 list of best classic courses for course architecture in the US, it was ranked #10. The first female members were admitted in 2012, Condoleezza Rice and Darla Moore. In 1990, African Americans were admitted to this exclusive membership. There are 10 cabins on the property, one built exclusively for member President Dwight D. Eisenhower after his election, according to secret service specifications. Famous golfers Ben Hogan and Sam Snead were also members. Others include Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Roger Goodell, Sam Nunn, T. Boone Pickens, Jr, Jack Welsh and many other CEOs of top companies. Membership numbers about 300 and is by invitation only. Members and tournament winners receive a distinctive green sports coat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

They raised their family in this 1900 sq ft 3-bedroom house, with everyone coming back for the holidays, which Zillow values at $355,126. Initial sellers got about $250,000 for their homes. Built in 1959, on the cusp of being a historic home, it remains the “piece de resistance”. Their grandson has become a professional, Scott Brown, age 32. He is a PGA Tour member, not yet making the Masters. Their brother sold his home, on two acres, and two other homes he owned, for a cool $3.6MM. The residents owned another property across the street that they sold to the club for $1.2MM. A nearby holdout wound up settling for $960,000, for a very similar house.</span></div>

If the economy in a particular region such as Palm Beach County has bounced
back strong since the downturn that began in 2008, home prices will be higher
because more people will be coming to that area for employment or to retire and
relax. Most of Palm Beach County prices have outreached expectations, sometimes
higher than the peak in 2007 and 2008. It may be that prices are or will
be staying more steady in the near future, but they are HIGH now.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

is more important than ever to work with an experienced, licensed Realtor who
understands your local market trends and issues. You will need to price your
home at the going market rate that reflects not only the value of your home but
the neighborhood where it is located. Price too high, and there will be little
interest in your property; too low, and potential buyers may wonder what hidden
issues your property may have. As a Realtor in Palm Beach County since
2000, I have been asked that question many times… “Why is the price so
low? What is wrong?”</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

significant effect on the dollar figure that you use to price your home.
As percentage rates go up, you have to subtract the top dollar amount you
had planned to spend to compensate and stick to your budget. While
mortgage rates have been historically low in order to make homes more
affordable, this is a trend that may not continue in the near future so it may
be prudent to buy while interest rates are low.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

full advantage of the old rules of supply and demand. When the most people are
looking to purchase a home is the best time to put yours on the market. The
summer months especially June, July and August, are one of the hottest times
for buyers who are planning where to be the following winter, or where to
reside when school begins in the late summer and a great opportunity for you to
take advantage of potential bidding wars and faster sales. Fall is a good
time as well, and January, February and March are perhaps the hottest selling
months.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>

incentives work in a seller's market. Last year more than a third of all
home sellers offered incentives. With a good percentage of the market made up
of first-time home buyers and second home buyers, providing incentives could
result in higher profit and a faster sale for you.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
