It is said that Elizabeth's pension, land, and expenses in York were very low, resulting in her often having to borrow money from others for a few pounds. Her personal wallet often only had a few pounds. Henry VII embezzled the land of the York family, and Elizabeth's sisters had no dowry and could only rely on the help of the queen. Henry VII gave Elizabeth very few gifts compared to other English kings, and how was Elizabeth's situation compared to other English queens and other countries? Is this true?

Wow, my first question ever! Thank you :)

Well, I need to tag @richmond-rex who's far more a Henry VII-Elizabeth of York expert than me, but I'll give my answer.

Elizabeth of York's finances were more than most of her predecessors a sensitive subject. Her marriage wasn't conventional as she was badly needed to legitimize her husband. Hence her treatment was to be even more sensitive than the treatment of a classic queen, usually of foreign origin. Perkin Warbeck and his entourage knew this, as he wrote in his manifesto alongside many grievances alleged mistreatment of his sisters, including Elizabeth.

Henry VII had a vested interest in having a queen capable of maintaining her rank because she was the bridge between him and the followers of Edward IV, who won't tolerate any perceived or actual mistreatment of their late ruler's daughter. Henry had a bumpy road in ensuring Elizabeth's funding as he inherited empty coffers from Richard III. Elizabeth Wydeville's early (or forced?) retirement in 1487 might have been a way to ensure her daughter's finances.

We don't have the greatest sources for late medieval times regarding finance, but we know that Elizabeth's holdings were significant. She did enjoy the traditional estates of English queens (around 10 000 marks), followed by numerous help and loans from her husband that weren't repaid. He also bought her numerous gifts (horses, jewellery, etc...). Elizabeth of York wasn't poor but she wasn't massively endowed either. We aren't sure whether there were moments of financial shortage for Elizabeth considering finance medieval bookkeeping mostly records spending way more than income. There could have been moments when her finances were strained and it's true that Elizabeth died in 1502, right when Tudor finances started to skyrocket. I do not know where you saw that EoY had less gifts from her husband compared to her predecessor. If you have a source, I'm interested! Otherwise, it's normal in medieval times to make small loans as people often didn't have cash immediately on hand and there could be short time of deficit. What we have about her finances and her patronage shows that she wasn't badly treated. As this issue is political, another proof is the reaction of the political community. Former Yorkists didn't complain about her treatment and didn't see her as mistreated, which is proof of good financial treatment. Her probable good relationship with her husband is another proof considering they wouldn't be so devoted toward each other if there were money issues. Recall that dysfunctional royal marriages impact their financial matters and vice-versa, from Isabel of France to Catherine of Aragon. I do not know how Elizabeth would compare to other queens, but she wasn't underfunded for her English predecessors and successors. She had more wealth than her mother, and slightly less advantages than Margaret of Anjou (who had tax franchises but was in a completely different situation) but more cash.

So my conclusion is that she wasn't financially mistreated and could maintain her rank. The idea that she was stems from Henry VII's rapacious reputation and accusations made by failed pretenders to separate Yorkist loyalists from Tudor rule.

Again, thanks for the question!

Cory Evans was well-versed in the HomeVestors of America playbook when he arrived at a suburban Los Angeles home on Nov. 4, 2016. His franchise with the “We Buy Ugly Houses” company had executed more than 50 deals in the preceding two years. Patriot Holdings would soon become one of the company’s most successful franchises by following HomeVestors’ strategy of finding homeowners in desperate situations, then convincing them to sell quickly.

The homeowner, Corrine Casanova, had bought the three-bedroom Baldwin Park bungalow with her husband in 1961 and now owned it outright. After raising three children there, she was days away from leaving it for an assisted living facility and had called the number on a HomeVestors ad.

“I was wondering if I could get an estimate of the value of my home,” she told the woman who answered the phone. “My husband’s gone, so it’s just me now.”

Evans, who ran the business with three of his brothers, had developed a reputation among other franchisees in the area as a “hard closer.” Casanova’s house was paid off, giving Evans room to go low with his offer because there wasn’t a mortgage to settle. He calculated the profit he wanted to make and presented Casanova with a 10-page purchase agreement during the short visit to her house. 

But Casanova was incapable of engaging in a complex negotiation. Although she was once a skilled bookkeeper and president of the local women’s club, dementia now carved into her short-term memory: A recent neurological assessment had found the 82-year-old was unable to say what year it was or name the city she was in. She routinely mistook her adult son for his uncle.

HomeVestors cautions its franchisees never to take advantage of sellers who are unable to understand negotiations. But by the time he left that evening, Evans had a contract to buy the house for roughly two-thirds its value, signed in Casanova’s shaky script. 

Weeks passed before Casanova’s family learned of the sale. But her son, David Casanova, soon sensed something was wrong.

“After we moved her, she kept saying, ‘I need to call my friend. I need to call my friend.’ And I’m like, ‘Which friend, Mom?’” David told ProPublica. 

Corrine couldn’t remember.

After David learned of the contract, he explained to Evans that his mother had dementia and tried to cancel the sale. Instead of walking away, Evans dug in, recording a notice on the property’s title that essentially prevented a sale to anyone else, which forced the Casanova family into a years-long battle to keep the home. Along the way, Evans disputed that Casanova showed signs of impairment during their interactions.

HomeVestors of America boasts that it helped pioneer the real estate investment industry. Founded in 1996 by a Texas real estate broker, the company has developed a system for snapping up problem properties—and expanded it to nearly 1,150 franchises in 48 states.

Unlike real estate agents, house flippers operate in a largely unregulated space. Real estate agents have a fiduciary responsibility to represent a homeowner’s best interests in negotiations, which is defined in state laws, licensing requirements and an industry code of ethics. But in most states, flippers don’t need a license.

HomeVestors, the self-proclaimed “largest homebuyer in the United States,” goes to great lengths to distinguish itself from the hedge funds and YouTube gurus that have taken over large swaths of the real estate investment market. The company says it helps homeowners out of jams—ugly houses and ugly situations—improving lives and communities by taking on properties no one else would buy. Part of that mission is a promise not to take advantage of anyone who doesn’t understand the true value of their home, even as franchisees pursue rock-bottom prices. 

Treat every customer like they’re your 85-year-old grandma who’s never done a real estate deal, HomeVestors trainers tell franchise owners at annual conferences.

But a ProPublica investigation—based on court documents, property records, company training materials and interviews with 48 former franchise owners and dozens of homeowners who have sold to its franchises—found HomeVestors franchisees that used deception and targeted the elderly, infirm and those so close to poverty that they feared homelessness would be a consequence of selling.

One HomeVestors franchisee falsely claimed to a 72-year-old woman suffering from a hoarding problem that city code enforcement officers would take her house, according to court documents. An Arizona woman said in an interview that she was forced to live in her truck after trying unsuccessfully to cancel the sale of her home. One court case documented the plight of an elderly man in Florida who was told if he sold his condo he could continue living there temporarily. But he spent his final days alive waiting to be evicted when—after the contract was signed—the franchise owner informed him the homeowners association rules didn’t allow it.

“You were always lying to them. That’s what we were trained,” said Katie Southard, who owned a franchise in North Carolina. “There was a price that you could pay, but you would always go lower and tell them that was the price you could pay.”  

Even when homeowners believed they were being taken advantage of and tried to back out of deals, franchise owners sued or filed paperwork to block a sale to another buyer. Some homeowners fought from hospital beds to keep their properties. At least three died shortly after signing sales contracts; a fourth died after three years of worrying about money. Their families told ProPublica that they are convinced the stress of losing their houses contributed to their loved ones’ deaths, though all had been ill or infirm.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine & The Next Generation: The Board Game

Original Release: 1998

Developer: Component Game Systems

Publisher: Component Game Systems

Platform: Board Game

While the names suggest that these are different games, they’re part of the same system and are compatible with each other. These are the “Core Sets”, with plans for releasing additional starter kids (new factions) and reinforcement packs. The system for these games is called the “Component Games System” and was initially made for Babylon 5: The Board Game (which seems like it was quite popular), before expanding into more franchises.

The company shut down shortly after the Star Trek core sets were released, so none of the additional stuff was made. I do find the names of the games odd as they send the message that these are just basic individual cheap tie-in games. It needed a subtitle to indicate that they’re part of the same system.

The game itself is a 4x game. A turn consists of the following: bookkeeping (checking victory, gaining money, paying for repairs), building new ships and bases, moving then combat. It seems like a fairly typical game of the genre. There are different scenarios to choose from in the form of different map layouts, either a singular map or, if you want a proper DS9 experience, you can set up the gamma quadrant separately, using the wormhole to move between maps.

For testing it out, I could only find images of a limited amount of pieces, but was able to put together a small 2-player Maquis Vs Dominion game (and even then, I had to borrow a few map tiles from the imagery of the Babylon 5 game – the games use the same rules so you could probably combine them). The game is fine, but doesn’t really do anything special with the genre.

Can I ask that last anon's question in a less rude way? I'm curious why you think the Ken Penders lawsuits were justified.

The Sega one was complete bullshit, obviously, but I take issue with people framing him having attempted to enforce the terms of his contract signed in the 90s that Archie straight up lost and to secure ownership of his original creations as him trying to "steal" from Archie because he was working under an established franchise to be disingenuous at best. Creator ownership of characters and stories is a major point of contention in the comics industry, and I frankly support any comics writers and artists trying to use the system in their favor to get a slice of the financial pie after how badly the industry treats its creatives. This is the entire reason Image Comics was founded, to give you an idea of how long this specific issue has been fought over.

To put it another way; if it's okay when Stan Lee or Steve Ditko or Jack Kirby or Alan Moore or their respective estates do it to Marvel and DC to get some residuals from the media empires they created for those companies, then it should also be okay for Ken Penders to do the same, even if I hate the guy's work. I can't really blame the guy for trying to take advantage of Archie's incompetence in bookkeeping and US copyright law to secure ownership of the characters and story concepts he created, which, make no mistake, were almost entirely original and unconnected to Sega's original story concepts besides Knuckles being there, and were also the backbone of that comic's success for an entire decade. Just because I don't like him or his work doesn't mean I don't think he's entitled to be compensated for his labor appropriately, just like any other artists or writers.

sooo i got hired again?

i mentioned like way back in fucking OCTOBER that i'd been hired to teach private violin lessons at a lil music school franchise. signed the paperwork and everything. attended an orientation meeting with other new hires. set up my account with their scheduling/payroll software. sent a headshot and a bio for use on the website. all that was left for me to do was wait for them to sign students up and add them to my schedule.

i have been given 0 students and earned 0 dollars since then. for a while, i had been religiously checking my email so i wouldn't miss any emails notifying me about new students. but i don't even bother anymore. as far as i know, i'm still technically an ~employee~ and i still receive the mass emails reminding all faculty to send in their invoices 🙃 which i find laughably insulting to me.

anyway, i finally started applying for other shit and just got hired with another business, also teaching private violin. they even had me come in and do a ~trial lesson~ where i basically give the manager a violin lesson as if he was a brand new beginner.

y'all.

i have taught with like 5 or 6 different organizations over the years, and until now, ZERO of them ever did shit all to make sure i or any other teachers actually knew how to teach or play the instrument at all. this is the ONLY TIME i was ever asked to demonstrate my abilities, and it gave me sooooooooooo much confidence in the possibility that maybe this business is gonna be different from the other one's i've worked for, and maybe they'll actually value my expertise, and give me the freedom to do what i know how to do in the best way that i know how to do it, and they'll trust my judgment, and most of all, that they'll GIVE ME STUDENTS AND FUCKING PAY ME TO TEACH THEM OH MY GODDDDDDD WHY GO THROUGH A WHOLE FUCKING INTERVIEWING AND ONBOARDING PROCESS JUST TO FUCKING IGNORE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FOR THE REST OF ETERNITYYYYYYY I AM SO UPSET!!!!

but not as upset anymore lmfao since now i hopefully have a job that's actually gonna, ya know, pay me for doing tasks.

and??????? the wage is hella fucking decent. $40/hr. If I was managing my own studio and doing all my own marketing and bookkeeping and scheduling and all that, the minimum i charge is $50. so $40 is a very very decent deal for a scenario where all i have to do is teach, and not worry about any of the businessy stuff.

but i do intend to eventually prove that i'm worth eeeven more than that. 😊 cop myself a lil raise in the future.

I know you have touched on this, but what do you think the legit odds are that TW will get a second season? I thought that continuing shooting into January was a good indicator of a set up for S2, but it could just be finishing up scenes with Jensen for the end? Also, I liked the stuff I have seen of GK, but people are saying that if doesn't have a chance? Are these just haters talking, or do you think the CW will go totally away from the super hero genre?

Good chance. Crew would have hard pushed to wrap and not have to come back from the holiday if it wasn't. Just from a bookkeeping perspective, this only makes logical sense if they're expecting a renewal

Just haters. There's a lot of GK misinformation. SPN isn't alone with having a bunch of losers that can't deal with change. You get em in Star Wars, Star Trek, SPN. For some reason the con addicted clout seekers don't understand they're literally the same as the people they'd call incel mouthbreathers elsewhere, but I digress. There's people like that in every fandom and every dive bar and they always think they're special.

Sites even repeatedly claimed it was cancelled and it's always rumors sourced by rumors sourced by some salty basement dweller bitching somewhere on twitter. It's the same thing as the "NOBODY WILL WATCH A JOHN MARY SHOW" screeching. It's definitional conservative mindsets being exposed and throwing hate at the wall and it's common in every franchise. DC isn't bereft of its own lifeless mouthbreathers. They, too, unfortunately have their 2pos.

As a retailer, you know that your success involves more than simply exchanging products for money. You have to be an expert in customer service, stock control, marketing, advertising, and more. And then you have accounting.

A retail business is unique in a few ways. You have to stock a large number of different products to be successful, you have money coming in and out all the time, and you may experience seasonal rise and fall in traffic to your stores. This makes tracking every cent your business handles important. Here are some tips to help you do that.

One of the ‘facts’ in this article is that Winston was a fortune teller at Coney Island. This gave me a great idea for my current WIP about the ghostbusters in the 1970s…

My story centers on Egon and Janine. He’s finishing a degree at NYU and she’s in secretarial school. He’s already friends/classmates with Peter and Ray. But is there a way for Winston to make an appearance? This article gave me an idea. (Spoilers ahead.)

Winston is on military home leave when he goes back to Coney Island for a day. He wins a big teddy bear to bring home to his beloved little sister, who wrote him letters while he was away. But the bear gets damaged on his way home. He stops into a nearby tailor shop, where he meets Janine, who is working as a secretary and bookkeeper.

Janine adds a little extra sparkle to the bear, and Winston tells her fortune in return.

Thanks @spengnitzed for the inspiration.

Personality: While Laura’s love of all things supernatural and macabre could rival Minty’s, she’s a lot less excitable. She’s sarcastic and deadpan sense of humor without being cynical. Laura is blunt about her opinions, but she has some sense of tact. She gives off slight Jenny Nicholson vibes.

Laura is a natural born leader. She’s talented and brilliant, but she doesn’t trust people easily. Minty and Ingrid are the only two people she truly trusts. She struggles with her self-worth and PTSD, preferring to fight her inner demons in private. Laura doesn’t reach out for help nearly as often as she should. She is a lot better at helping other people with their problems and she’s a humanitarian at heart.

History: The only thing that she's revealed about her past is that she was born in somewhere in Pennsylvania. Nothing is known about her family or where she grew up.

She met Ingrid when she first arrived in Philadelphia to attend school. She went to the tattoo shop that Ingrid was working at to get a tattoo, creating a long-lasting friendship with Ingrid in the process. 

She would later meet Minty at Penn State. Laura, Minty, and Ingrid clicked almost instantly. In time, Minty would suggest creating a podcast together, which is how The Night Owls of Philly was born.

At college, Laura studied Accounting and went on to become a Bookkeeper at a medical spa as her day job.

Likes: The macabre, scary movies, Halloween, autumn, the countryside, small cottages and cabins, farms, theme parks, sci-fi, the Star Battles franchise, terrible YA romance books and movies, murder mysteries, punk rock, reading, books, video games, dark academia, and cottagecore

ARRIVAL

Spork and the dung beetles pulled into the nearest town to the Dewclaws franchise with a motel, and checked in. Up there they didn’t seem concerned about Angelique’s assassins finding them, assuming that Angelique has any assassins left on the payroll. Very few of those work on credit. Once they unloaded the van they drove out to find Marty. In one respect their timing was awful. Marty was shutting down the operation for the season, and most of the staff was already entering torpor. Marty was doing some final bookkeeping before joining them. Still, he recognized the value that dung beetles would mean when spring came, and agreed to a contract beginning in March. When the herds return, Marty’s competitors won’t be able to track the caribou by their droppings. Back at the motel, Spork and his friends settled in for a long winter.

Some life updates

Time to stop pretending I'm on hiatus lol. Firstly, and most importantly: My dad is NOT dying. He finally managed to get in for a cardiogram, and they found ZERO evidence of heart failure. He still has to take his heart medicine and wear his compression stockings, and they still recommend he get more exercise (we got a recumbent bike for him and he's been using it! For like five minutes at a time but that's better than nothing!) but he's not like, about to drop dead any minute.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to me about this, I love you all and I found strength in you guys when I did think he was dying.

Sidebar: When he talked about the trouble he had getting in for the cardiogram, he said that he went in one time and they only person in the building who knew how to use the machine was not there that day, so they had to reschedule. He's like:

"And they said the guy who knows how to use the machine had called in sick that day. Or the lady who knows how to use the machine. They didn't tell me who it was. And I don't care, it doesn't matter to me." So true feminist king.

Secondly: I did get the job I mentioned a couple weeks back! I work at McDonald's now. It's a franchised one, so it's owned and operated by a local family, not the McDonald's corporation, so it's a lot more accommodating than I think it would be if I was working for Ronald McDonald himself, and pays more. But I also still get the benefits of working for McDonald's which includes this thing that just gives you discounts on a bunch of stuff? Just for working there?

The work is physically draining, but simple, and I'm getting faster at it. I don't really work with food, I mostly just clean things up to close at night.

In the meantime, I'm working with voc rehab to become a bookkeeper. I started taking an online class and I really love it, I didn't think I'd like it this much, I thought it would just be, like, doable, but it's actually really fun and engaging for me.

Thirdly: My depression is getting better! My psych put me on a new antidepressant and it's really helping me. I'm about to restart therapy soon, just waiting for the clinic to get back to me.

Fourthly: I've started writing again! Kind of. I'm planning again! Outlining and plotting MM again. Also I changed Leila's faceclaim to Medalion Rahimi, I just haven't changed my sidebar yet bc I don't have a crackship gif to replace it yet lol.
