  August is done which means my favorite time of the year has arrived, Fall. I hope everybody had a great summer and their portfolios are working hard for them? I added $650.00 to my portfolio which I used to buy 20 shares of AGNC for $19.00 a share for a total of $384.95 after fees. This added $43.20 to my forward dividend and brought my yearly divided to $2106.12.
  My dividends for August came out to $155.93. This was an increase of $91.38 or 141.56% over August of 2017 and an increase of $28.48 or 22.35% over May of 2018. My running total for the year is now $1,317.03. With 4 more months left in the year I feel like I might be able to hit $2000. Fingers crossed. As the say, slow and steady wins the race.
  I think my favorite dividend stock for August has to be SUN or Sunoco LP. They are a company that is cleaning up their financials and getting rid of excess assets that is dragging down profits. If I didn’t have a limit on how much stock I can own in one company I would buy more SUN.
  Solid rsujts and growth compared to last year. We share absolutely no stocks which I always find interesting and a learning experience.
  I have yet to come across another investor who shares more than 2 stocks with me. I think this is because my stocks are in REITs which many people stay clear of.

  Practicing this asana reduces depression, stress, and anxiety and calms the brain. •The lungs are opened up, and thyroid problems are reduced.
  This asana also massages the digestive organs, thereby helping to improve digestion. •This asana greatly benefits pregnant women and also helps alleviate menstrual pain and symptoms of menopause. •It also aids high blood pressure, sinusitis, asthma, insomnia, and osteoporosis. •With regular practice of this asana, blood circulation is improved too.
  This pose, completely opens up the heart, chest, and shoulders. The back of the neck, the hip flexors, the spine, and the thighs also get a good stretch.
  Your heart is placed higher than your head in this asana, and therefore, it is considered a mild inversion. Yet, it gives you all the benefits of an inversion i.e., relief from anxiety, fatigue, stress, insomnia, headaches, and mild depression. It calms the mind and reduces the blood pressure, in fact, normalizing it. The opening of the chest entails an increase in the lung capacity, and therefore, this asana greatly benefits those suffering from asthma
  Starting a lawn from sod creates an attractive, durable area much faster than lawns started with seed or plugs, but it is also more expensive. Properly installing the sod and providing it with excellent care protects your investment. It also prevents problems like sod pieces curling up, a likely indication that at least the edges of these pieces have dried out too much.
  When laying sod, start along a long, straight edge like a sidewalk or driveway. Cut the sod as accurately as possible to fit around objects, as undercutting pieces leaves them prone to drying out. Stagger joints between sod pieces between rows like brickwork to prevent obvious joints in the lawn. Ensuring sod pieces butt up against each other tightly is crucial as gaps between sections leave the edges vulnerable to drying out. On slopes or where there is a chance the sod could move or be disturbed by activity, sod-anchoring pins pushed through the sod into the soil will secure the sod. At lawn edges, allow a small amount of extra sod and curl the edge of the piece slightly downward. This helps to accommodate the slight shrinkage that normally occurs.
  Good irrigation practices are vital for new sod establishment. If the sod cannot be installed within a few hours of delivery, it should be laid out in a single layer in the shade and watered, as needed, so it is constantly moist. A thorough soaking should occur within 30 minutes of installation. Following installation, sod and the underlying soil should remain constantly moist, but not soaked, until the sod has knitted or rooted to the soil. This typically calls for daily watering, depending on the weather and site conditions, for several weeks.
  As soon as the sod is dry enough to walk on following that thorough irrigation, plan to run a lawn roller filled to about one-third its capacity with water over the newly sodded lawn twice in different directions. For small areas and corners or other spots that the roller cannot easily reach, use a hand tamp to press the sod pieces down. Rolling or tamping forces the sod pieces solidly into contact with the soil while also pushing sod pieces together to minimize drying.
  It is unrealistic to expect that even with proper installation there will be no slight gaps that develop between pieces of sod. Quickly filling these spaces with topsoil or potting soil and keeping these filled gaps constantly moist will keep adjacent sod pieces from drying out. It will also encourage grass roots to grow into the space.
  If you’re having trouble on memorizing some answers for your upcoming exam. That’s not a problem! IBM’s new and latest computer chip can learn and remember them all on one silicon core. The new neurosynaptic chip can be placed in a brain , and has all the properties for it to learn and remember information in a single core.
  The chip was built on a 45 nanometer silicon/metal oxide semiconductor platforms. One of these chips has 262,144 programming synapses ,and the other contains 65,536 learning synapses – which can learn from their own actions while doing motions, writing, or anything else that our human body does. The way IBM gets it to work is by using neurons to connect with the neurons and nerves on our brain. In this way the information can be exchanged and can be stored inside the memory core of the chip. Each one of the prototype chips has an okay amount of memory that is like an extra “boost” of memory that is added to our age.
  “This new architecture represents a critical shift away from today’s traditional von Neumann computers, to extremely power-efficient architecture,” Dharmendra Modha, project leader for IBM Research, said in an interview. “It integrates memory with processors, and it is fundamentally massively parallel and distributed as well as event-driven, so it begins to rival the brain’s function, power and space.”
  This chip is just like our brain. It can change its mind and reconfigure the settings when you change your mind, or do something that you weren’t planning to do. This project is funded DARPA’s SyNAPSE, and has planned to have many future projects that can be much better and an advance closer to artificial intelligence. A cool part about this chip is that the memorizing part is very basic. When you do any motion or remember something, there is a flow of current to the chip and after the chip turns off, and turned back on, you have the memory because that same current flow is used again and is memorized by the chip. This is a way to keep memory. Many universities are still working on this project and are funding this project for further use and for trying many trial experiments with the chip.
  In a way, this chip can be used in multiple ways. It could be the superpower chip of a computer, used for robots, such as ASIMO, a very hi-tech robot that can move and use it’s appendages to do all sorts of movements with a battery on the back. This chip could also be used for our very own human brain or even for helicopters with cameras. The iRobot (read article for more information) could also use this very important chip in military missions to memorize all the dangers it should be looking our for and all the treacherous areas from previous experiences to avoid them. Many of our robot technology could really use this to add a boost to the memory part, that can be a small problem to solve.
  This research is a still-in-progress type of research, that are just trying out some prototypes. We will see for now, how to progress will go with the project and for the generation of all our newest technology.

  Elimination of various software upon Macintosh personal computer laptop or computer seems to be much more easier in comparison to the course of action gone through by isn’t even close to individual. However it’s very obvious that you’ve a significant difference involving the truth regarding removing the software of the set of energetic goods current on your computer and physical removal of all of the data files as well as temporary products created by the software in addition to of those free coed elements that had been created by the actual movement of training with the computer software.
