Each state has its own laws regarding what is real property and how to handle its sale. For the most part, real property is not subject to federal law because real estate by definition does not move across state borders.
The terms are used interchangeably but real property is actually a broader term. Real estate is defined as land and everything attached to it. Real property extends to the interests, benefits, and rights inherent in the ownership of real estate.
A natural formation like a hill or a pond can be real property. So can an artificial addition such as a house, a driveway, or a garden shed. If someone owns the land that any or all of these things are situated on, that person has the right to use, manage, and dispose of it.
A car is tangible personal property, not real property, as the car presumably can be moved. Unlike a great deal of personal property, a car can be used to secure a loan. A car loan is secured by the vehicle, as a mortgage is secured by a house.
According to the app's description on Apple's App Store, BeReal encourages people to "show your friends who you really are, for once," by removing filters and opportunities to stage, over-think, or edit photos.
In my first post, I didn't realize it was going to take a picture with my back camera as well, so the view ended up being of my trash can and the slightly embarrassing but also very cute mug my friends bought me.
Rather, you have to take a selfie of your face inside a circle template on the app. These are called "realmojis," where instead of commenting on someone's post with an emoji, your facial expression becomes an emoji in itself.
With BeReal, I don't feel a lot of pressure to post every day because there is no film or finished product to look forward to. I've gotten used to posting when I feel like it, and it's really nice to be able to look back on your "memories" and remember what you were doing on any given day.
I've also found that BeReal isn't an app I would spend hours procrastinating on. I usually post my picture, briefly scroll through and react to my friends' pictures, and then get on with the rest of my day. It has felt like a refreshing and healthy way to use social media that I've really come to appreciate.
Constant or real dollars are terms describing income after adjustment for inflation. The Dictionary of Business and Economics defines constant dollar values and real income as shown below.
Constant-dollar value (also called real-dollar value) is a value expressed in dollars adjusted for purchasing power. Constant-dollar values represent an effort to remove the effects of price changes from statistical series reported in dollar terms. The result is a series as it would presumably exist if prices were the same throughout as they were in the base year-in other words, as if the dollar had constant purchasing power.
Real income. The purchasing power of the income of an individual, group, or nation, computed by adjusting money income to price changes. A comparison between incomes earned during 1970 and 1980, for example, would be pointless unless 1970 and 1980 price levels were identical. Using a price index showing, for example, that average consumer prices increased by 50 percent between those years, it becomes clear that $1,000 in 1980 bought what $667 bought in 1970. Thus, even if total income actually doubled, real income would double only if prices remained constant.
That story that Pocahontas was head over heels in love with John Smith has lasted for many generations. He mentioned it himself in the colonial period, as you say. Then it died, but was born again after the revolution in the early 1800s when we were really looking for nationalist stories. Ever since then it's lived in one form or another, right up to the Disney movie and even today.
It's interesting. In general, until recently, Pocahontas has not been a popular figure among Native Americans. When I was working on the book and I called the Virginia Council on Indians, for example, I got reactions of groans because they were just so tired. Native Americans for so many years have been so tired of enthusiastic white people loving to love Pocahontas, and patting themselves on the back because they love Pocahontas, when in fact what they were really loving was the story of an Indian who virtually worshipped white culture. They were tired of it, and they didn't believe it. It seemed unrealistic to them.
The documents that really jumped out at me were the notes that survived from John Smith. He was kidnapped by the Native Americans a few months after he got here. Eventually, after questioning him, they released him. But while he was a prisoner among the Native Americans, we know he spent some time with Powhatan's daughter Pocahontas and that they were teaching each other some basic aspects of their languages. And we know this because in his surviving notes are written sentences like "Tell Pocahontas to bring me three baskets." Or "Pocahontas has many white beads." So all of a sudden, I could just see this man and this little girl trying to teach each other. In one case English, in another case an Algonquian language. Literally in the fall of 1607, sitting along some river somewhere, they said these actual sentences. She would repeat them in Algonquian, and he would write that down. That detail brought them both to life for me.
I think there's more to learn about her in the sense that it would help modern politics if more people understood what Native peoples really went through both at the time of conquest and in the years after. There's so strong a sense in our country, at least in some places among some people, that somehow Native Americans and other disempowered people had it good, they're the lucky ones with special scholarships and special status. That is very, very far from a reflection of their real historical experience. Once you know the actual history of what these tribes have been through, it's sobering, and one has to reckon with the pain and the loss that some people have experienced far more than others over the last five generations or so. I think it would help everybody, both Native and mainstream culture, if more people understood what Native experience was really like both at the time of conquest and since.
"Boardwalk Empire," HBO's stunning period drama, tells a tale that's largely true. Some of the show's characters are fictional, but many are based on real gangsters and politicians from the Prohibition era, the most recognizable being Al Capone.
It's a jarring moment. The series is about Prohibition-era Atlantic City, and Capone's a Chicago guy. Yet the real-life Capone, just like the myriad characters in "Boardwalk Empire," owes his ascendancy to Prohibition and the boundless profits of bootlegging, a national business that introduced a new sophistication to organized crime. Capone is the paradigm of the small-time gangster who made it big on illegal liquor. When Prohibition began in 1920, he was a small fish, just one of Johnny Torrio's many employees. But by 1925, Torrio would retire and leave Capone in charge of the Chicago Outfit, a criminal empire built on Prohibition money.
He's great. I think he's maybe the best Capone I've ever seen. And that's including De Niro, obviously. De Niro was over the top in "The Untouchables." Stephen Graham looks like Capone a little bit, and he has the energy and the charisma. Most people don't portray Capone as being charismatic or likable in any way, but Stephen Graham is fun and funny. He's a little scary, too, but he's funny on purpose sometimes, which was true of Capone. Capone was somebody you could actually pal around with if you're on his good side, and all that comes across really nicely.
My one complaint is that Stephen Graham is too short. He's way too short. I really have a hard time with that. Graham does have a nice physical presence, and you get the impression that he can be tough. Certainly Graham's Capone is capable of violence and acts out really savagely. But Capone was a big guy. Just him standing in the front door of the Four Deuces [the nightclub where "Boardwalk's" Capone works] was an intimidation, and I don't get that with Stephen Graham.
That scene in the woods, as far as I can tell, was completely fictional. I don't even think Capone went to Atlantic City at all during that point in his career, so they took artistic license with that. On the other hand, the murder of Jim Colosimo in the restaurant, at the very end of the first episode, they show the blood spilling out on the white tiles, and that part is accurate. It's not proven, but there's a very good chance that Frankie Yale killed Colosimo, and it went down just like they showed it. It's great the way they mix real events and invented ones. This makes the invented events feel more authentic, and the series doesn't make any claims of historical accuracy, so I have no problem with it at all. For the aficionados, it must be fun to see these real-life events portrayed so accurately, and then coupled with this are these entirely fictionalized events. To me that makes the story more compelling. 041b061a72
