    At long last, you can purchase an Apple iPad Pro (2020) at a cool $100 off its regular price, although you will need to go for one specific model in order to score that full discount. We're talking about a space gray flavor of the 256GB Wi-Fi-only iPad Pro 12.9, which normally costs a whopping $1,099. The same exact configuration in a silver hue goes for $60 less than usual at the time of this writing, while the 512 gig variants are currently reduced by $70 and $79 in gray and silver color options respectively.






    $1649, for a tablet, with 4G/LTE Service.

    Sara and Benjamin Netanyahu, 1997Netanyahu has received much media attention, usually negative in tone and focusing on poor interpersonal relations. She won a libel case filed against Schocken publishers for falsely maligning her, and a libel suit in 2002 against the local paper Kol Ha'ir, after two unfounded reports were published about her in the paper's gossip column.[3][4] In 2008, Channel 10 reported that when she travelled to London with her husband for a public diplomacy campaign during the 2006 Lebanon War, she spent a large sum of money on luxuries paid for by a donor in London.[5] In response Netanyahu filed a libel suit against the channel.[6][7] As her trip had not been approved by the Knesset's Ethics Committee, her husband was notified by the committee.[8]
    In January 2010, the Netanyahu family housekeeper sued Sara Netanyahu in a labor court for withholding wages, unfair working conditions and verbal abuse.[9] Netanyahu was sued as of March 2014 by another caretaker and former bodyguard to the family over claims that she was abusive towards him.[10]In February 2016, the Jerusalem Labor Court ruled in favor of plaintiff Meni Naftali, who claimed that Sara Netanyahu had created a hostile work environment and awarded him damages of NIS 170,000.[11] The National Labor Court subsequently rejected her appeal.
    In 2015, reports surfaced that she had ordered catered meals and charged the government nearly $100,000 for the expenses when the Prime Minister's Office already employed a cook.[12] Police recommended indicting her in 2016.[13]On September 8, 2017, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced that Netanyahu would be charged with ordering meals at the state?s expense without authorization.[14][15] On 17 January 2018, the pre-indictment hearing was held. Netanyahu's lawyers met with Mandelblit, while she herself did not attend, breaking with usual custom.[16]After negotiations for a plea bargain collapsed,[17][18] the trial was set for July 19.[19] Netanyahu's lawyers argued that the meals were ordered by an assistant for visiting dignitaries.[20]
    On 16 June 2019, Netanyahu signed a plea deal and was convicted of misusing state funds, with the more severe charge of fraud being dropped. She was ordered to pay 55,000 NIS ($15,275) to the state.[21]
    During a visit to a Portuguese memorial to the victims of the Inquisition, Netanyahu stated that her family is also facing an inquisition.[22]

    1.0 out of 5 stars These Cheap 7-Inch Netbooks are suitable only for dedicated hackers!
    [COLOR=#565959 !important]Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2012[/COLOR]
    These Cheap 7-Inch Netbooks are suitable only for dedicated hackers!

    Also known as MiniLaptops, SmartBooks, Netbooks, etc.: Don't waste your time on this device if you're not willing to open it up and hack it!

    But if you're already stuck with one of these, read on, as help is on the way. And please feel free to copy and post this review elsewhere on the internet, for the benefit of all of us hapless 7-Inch MiniLaptop/SmartBook/Netbook users out there.

    I picked up mine, for $ 10.00, at a yard sale, from a very frustrated owner. Preliminary research on this device quickly revealed that it, and its many cheap spin-offs, has a notorious reputation. And it's quite obvious that almost all of the retailers of these devices are going out of their way to be unhelpful.

    My version has a WMT, ARM-WM8505 300MHz processor, with a Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system (despairingly called "WinCE"), was a precursor to Windows Mobile, and is not supported well any more.

    But, on a more positive note: Here's a complete and informative 30 page User Manual for your netbook: Titled, simply, as "usermanual.pdf", the 8.8 MB file can be downloaded from:
    - Google "files.chatnfiles" (an ftp site).
    - Scroll down and elect the "Sylvania_netbook" folder.
    - Select the "WinCE_6" folder.
    - Download "usermanual.pdf".

    And, while you're on that ftp page, be sure to download "winCE6freeware.zip", a 109.7 MB MegaPack freeware bundle.

    Also, here's another user manual: Although it was written for the CnM book portable mini laptop (Windows CE 5.0), and devotes some of its content to ActiveSync (not possible on Windows CE 6.0), it's another helpful user manual out there for your netbook. The 4.4 MB PDF file (38 pages) can be downloaded from the internet by simply googling "CnMNB7SE Manual.pdf".

    The first thing the user of one of these devices needs to do is open up the internal battery compartment, and unplug and remove the internal 7.2 Volt Lithium-Polymer battery pack. That's right, completely remove the battery and simply run the netbook off the plug-in OEM 9 Volt wall wart, or maybe a 7.2 Volt to 9 Volt external battery pack (plugged in to the 9 Volt power jack, on the back of the device). The reason for this is that the CPU of the device runs very hot, with the OEM internal 7.2 Volt Lithium-Polymer battery pack in place, which explains the early failure of many of these devices. The 9 Volt power jack in the back of the netbook fits a standard 4.0 mm O.D. / 1.7 mm I.D. plug (aka: Radio Shack "B" plug, Part# 274-1532).

    But a custom made rechargeable internal battery pack, 7.2V, 2500mAh nickel-metal hydride (6 - AA's) will run (continuous video with full volume) the netbook for 3.15 hours. A 3 long x 2 wide battery pack will nest, half-deep, in the original internal battery compartment -without the original cover. And the CPU runs much cooler when powered by the improvised internal 7.2V, 2500mAh nickel-metal hydride battery pack. But most nickel-metal hydride batteries will self-discharge about 0.11 Volts per day (= 0.67 Volts per day, as a 6-cell battery pack), unless they're one of those newer nickel-metal hydride batteries that claim to hold their shelf-life charge at least 4 times longer. Unfortunately, the individual AA batteries, of the 7.2V, 2500mAh nickel-metal hydride battery pack, need to be removed and charged individually, as the netbook / OEM 9 Volt wall-wart will not charge an internal nickel-metal hydride battery pack.

    But to bring my 7-Inch MiniLaptop up to industrial grade, I took an extra step and glued aluminum heat sinks on the CPU (mine is a WMT, ARM-WM8505 300MHz processor), as well as the Wi-Fi processor. The unit is easily opened up by turning it upside down and removing 12 screws, of which 2 of the screws are fine-thread screws that screw in to the sheet-aluminum underside of the keyboard. Unplug the internal battery pack, and with a thin, sharp knife, carefully separate and pop open the bottom of the plastic case. For the CPU, I superglued a flathead aluminum bolt onto it, drilled a hole into the underside of the plastic mini-laptop case, and, with an aluminum nut, attached a 4"x2.5" piece of aluminum flashing to the underside of the plastic mini-laptop case.

    As mentioned, the Wi-Fi module in the device also runs way too hot, but the remedy for this is not as simple. The Wi-Fi module is a small .5"x1" circuit that is attached to the main circuit with 4 wires and a piece of pressure sensitive foam tape. Here I carefully peeled off the Wi-Fi module and removed the foam tape, as it traps heat and causes heat damage. I then soldered additional lengths of wire to the original 4 wires, superglued an aluminum heat sink onto the Wi-Fi CPU, and routed it through the right hinged joint of the video monitor case, and attached it inside the upper-right of the plastic case of the video monitor. I then drilled 6-.0625" holes above, and 6-.0625" holes below the Wi-Fi module, on the inside (video screen side) of the plastic case to allow for essential cooling ventilation. This also positions the Wi-Fi module for much better reception, solving the common gripe many users report of poor Wi-Fi range. I would upload photos of the modifications, but they would only cause serious misunderstandings with customer service staffs.

    The next thing one should do is Google "winCE6freeware.zip" and download the ~104 MB MegaPack freeware bundle. Also Google and download "MioPocket 4.0 Release 68.zip" (~86.6 MB download). The OEM bundled software on many of these 7-inch netbooks is lacking. And there are not many apps available for Windows CE 6.0. But these two downloads are definitely a good start. They both include browsers, game emulators, utilities, media players, games, scientific calculators, and even spreadsheets and word processors. Also, Google "LEOFS_CMP.PPC_ARM.CAB" to download an excellent Windows Embedded CE 6.0 compatible flight simulator (jets, helicopters, sailplanes, a Piper Cub, and even a hang glider). Google "qcpparm.zip" for Q-Calc, an excellent scientific calculator that runs on WinCE 6.0.

    "winCE6freeware.zip" extracts as three folders. Open the "winCE6soft" folder and browse and try out the numerous .exe software on your netbook.

    "MioPocket 4.0 Release 68.zip" extracts as three folders. Open the "MioAutoRun" folder and the subfolder "Programs" and browse and try out the numerous .exe software on your netbook.

    Two valuable softwares in these downloads are:
    UCWeb Browser: Although it runs in Chinese mode only, it is intuitive, allowing one to bookmark their favorite English websites (Google, EarthLink, facebook, etc.), and this clever browser enables one to blaze through the internet.
    Opera Mini: Another excellent internet browser, which runs quite well on Windows CE 6.0, by using the function and numeric keys on the keyboard open up options.
    Minimo: Yet another excellent internet browser, which runs quite well on Windows CE 6.0, and is easy on the limited resources of the netbook. Of particular note is the opening home screen with quick access to Google, maps, local weather, etc.. But some of its features may exceed the limited resources of the 7-inch netbook.

    *** A note about "Chinese" software:
    China is notorious for pirating software, and Windows is no different. Only about 10% of Windows, sold in China, is fully licensed. 91% of Windows offered in China have some sort of malware. And 72% of those Chinese computers, with pirated Windows, have browser settings altered in a way to lead unsuspecting users to illegal sites, which then fish for financial data and other sensitive information.

    I have had almost no success in downloading and manually installing .cab files on my netbook. .exe files seem to be the only software that will work with Windows CE 6.0.

    And while almost all of these cheap 7-Inch Netbooks will long be remembered for what they aren't, one needs to focus on what they are, and can do:

    - Almost all of these devices have built-in stereo speakers, two 1.1 USB + one 2.0 USB jacks, a headphone/line-out jack (although the netbook speakers still work with the plug in), a microphone jack, a SD card slot, Wi-Fi, and a RJ45 ethernet jack.
    - Inside, most of these devices have a 2GB flash disk.
    - When loaded with compatible video files, and using "TCPMP" (the Core Pocket Media Player), the device plays video clips and full length movies with ease.
    - Using "nPOP", one can send and receive email, much like Outlook.
    - Using "UCWeb Browser", or "Opera Mini", one can blaze through the internet.
    - DSL, as well as WiFi connections is a breeze with the existing hardware, although WiFi seems only to work with open (unsecured) connections.
    - Using "TCPMP" (the Core Pocket Media Player), or GSPlayer, mp3 (as well as .ogg, .wma, .mp4, .wav, etc.) music files can be played, with full equalizer controls.
    - Using "TextMaker" (SoftMaker Office), one can produce complete and professional documents, with photos and charts, as .doc, .rtf, .odt, .psw, as well as proprietary .tmd files.
    - Using "PlanMaker" (SoftMaker Office), one can produce complete and professional spreadsheets, as .xls, .xlt, as well as proprietary .pmd files.
    - Using "Presentations" (SoftMaker Office), one can produce complete and professional PowerPoint-type presentations, with graphics, as .ppt, .pot, .rtf, .bmp as well as proprietary .prd files.
    - With UltraG image viewer one can store and view detailed topo hiking maps, as well as handy road maps, as well as photos.
    - Challenge yourself with games like "ChessGenius", "PocketChess", "Nankin", and "Solitare".
    - There's also "CALC", a paper tape calculator, and when used in the ten-key touch keyboard mode, is quite useful for serious number crunching. And there's "Calc98CE", an excellent scientific calculator.

    But there are some specific irritating issues with this netbook:
    - The 1/8" stereo out jack does not turn the internal speakers off, when ear buds are used.
    - The SD card slot manual eject mechanism crapped out early on. I had to straighten out a paper clip, and then fashion a tiny hook with needle-nose pliers, and pull the damaged micro-spring and mechanism completely out of the SD card slot. It now works just fine this way, as I simply left a 16 GB SD card permanently in place (but can easily be removed, if needed).
    - The built-in WiFi only seems to work with open WiFi networks, and many password protected networks, but not all. I tried, at home, to log into our secure WiFi, but was unable to get it to work. But it still works just fine in many WiFi coffee shops.
    - I have yet to find a YouTube application that works.
    - I have yet to find a Skype application that works, although it is inconceivable that any version of Skype could ever work on one of these 7-inch netbooks, with its limited capacity.
    - And I have yet to find a printer/printer application available. But there is somewhat of a silver lining in this deficiency in that it is a correct move in the direction of a paperless society. For example, I used to do a daily download of the local TV broadcast schedule, and inkjet print it out, both sides, on a landscape 11x8.5 piece of paper. Now I simply bring up the the Zap2It website (via Minimo browser), on my 7-inch netbook, and download the evening TV schedule, as a PDF file, to the Desktop of my 7-inch netbook. The PDF can then be quickly and easily viewed by my family, as needed.
    - The keyboard, while of excellent and sturdy construction, is only 81% the size of a standard keyboard. This will cause even the fastest, most skilled typist to feel like they're all thumbs on the keyboard.

    As mentioned, the netbook has two USB 1.1 + one USB 2.0 jacks but, Windows CE 6.0 being somewhat of a primitive operating system, will not with all USB devices and accessories. But many mice, keyboards, multi-port USB hubs, flash drives, and SD card readers work quite well with the netbook. I haven't found a webcam that will work, but many digital cameras can be connected, by USB, and the stored photos viewed and copied.

    Here is just a partial list of the many aliases this Windows CE 6.0 OS device is sold under (or simply known as):

    Chinese CE Netbook
    Cheapy-Creepy CE Netbook
    Sylvania 7-inch CE6 netbook
    CVS Sylvania 7-inch CE Netbook
    VIA Mini 7-inch Laptop LCD
    Lanyu eBook LY-EB01
    ITA Smartbook 7
    Cherrypal Africa
    Datawind UbiSurfer
    Menq EasyPC 790
    3K Computer RazorBook 400 CE
    Join Tech J1-Pro JL7100
    Delstar DS 700
    ITA Computers Smartbook 7

    And the one thing most of them have in common is that they are mass-produced in Shenzhen, China.

    As these 7-inch netbooks will not Activesync with your desktop computer, this is the time to format (be sure to select the FAT 32 file system option) a 16 GB, class 10, SD card, to serve as the "Storage Card" in your 7-inch netbook.

    I advise one not to be too eager to reflash a new operating system onto their 7-inch netbook, as some functionality may be lost, due to variations in the motherboard/hard drive chip design, and not easily recovered. One such example is the driver for the internal battery pack. Many have complained about failures of the internal battery, not knowing that the new operating system they reflashed onto their netbook was not written for the existing motherboard. Just to be sure, I broke open the internal "8.4 Volt" (7.4 Volt rated), 1800mAH lithium-polymer battery pack, and the two internal 3.7 Volt batteries, as well as the internal battery management circuit test out just fine. The battery will normally run the netbook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, on a full charge, for routine computer work (word processing, etc.), .75 to 1 hour, if running a high-drain application, such as a video clip with full volume.

    But if you choose to reflash, be sure to note the operating system, as well as version, as well as build, that originally came installed on your netbook. To find this information: Click "Start", select "Settings", select "Control Panel", select "System", and, under "General" tab, you'll find the operating system. There is a remote possibility that you will then be able to find, download, and reflash it, if the other operating systems fail. For example, I finally, and successfully, installed Windows CE, Version 6.00 (Build 3122) on mine. Also, under "General" tab, the Processor Type (mine is, for example, "WMT, ARM-WM8505") will be listed. This may prove helpful, and save you a lot of time, as operating systems are very specific as to which CPU they will work with.

    And back to the subject of the internal battery pack: There are serious issues with the OEM internal 7.2 Volt Lithium-Polymer battery pack and the netbook motherboard. The overheating of the CPU is an indication of this. The early burn-out of the OEM 9VDC wall-warts, as well as netbook failures, reported by many owners, is another indication of serious internal power issues. I even rewired and bench tested a 7.2 Volt (two 3.6 Volt cells in series) Lithium-Polymer battery pack, without the OEM battery pack management circuit (aka: electronic battery cell balancer), and added a third wire, leading from between the two cells, to the third (middle) post in the internal battery jack, on a hunch that the netbook already had a built-in battery management circuit that conflicted with the battery management circuit inside the OEM internal battery pack. But this was not the case, since the rewired battery pack discharged without being "balanced" (both cells kept at the same voltage), and the rewired battery pack did not recharge through the OEM wall-wart / netbook.

    I even built an new 7.2 Volt Lithium-Polymer battery pack, with a larger, more robust battery management circuit, but, it too suffered damage to the Lithium-Polymer cells.

    Warning: Experimenting with Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer batteries is a dangerous fire hazard. I bench tested the rewired battery packs outdoors, on a cement surface, with a fire extinguisher handy.

    After all of this battery testing, the only option is the custom 7.2V, 2500mAh nickel-metal hydride battery pack, to serve simply as a glorified internal clock battery, as well as an emergency power backup for the netbook and a custom external 7.2V - 12V battery pack. But, as mentioned above, the CPU runs much cooler with the internal 7.2 Volt Lithium-Polymer battery pack removed, and the OEM 9V wall-wart (or a custom external battery pack) used. But then, with the 9V wall-wart, you're not portable, are you? Also, the OEM internal battery will completely self-discharge (actually, the flawed motherboard slowly drains the battery) in less than a week. Oddly, a custom 7.2V, 2500mAh nickel-metal hydride battery pack does not self-discharge into the netbook motherboard at all, even though it does self-discharge, by itself, over time.

    To make the netbook a truly portable device, I hacked a Sony NP-FX110 7.4V 3800mAh rechargeable battery pack: Adding a charging jack, as well as a plug for the netbook. Measuring 8.25"x5.75"x.375", the thin battery pack fits under the netbook and provides about 7 hours of heavy use (continuous video with sound), and even longer, if running only office software.

    But if you really need to try new operating systems (... or love taking risks, like I do), Google:

    "netbook.poodwaddle"

    And go to the links to that website for a list of different operating system downloads.

    There you will find video instructions on how to reflash a new operating system. But more importantly, numerous options for operating systems are available there to try on your netbook:

    WinCE.rar
    ChineseWinCE.rar (this was the best one for my 7-inch netbook: It appears in Chinese, but reboots to English)
    SylvaniaWinCE.rar
    BankofWinCE.rar
    scriptcmd.rar
    Android1.5.2.rar
    Android1.6.rar
    Android1.9.part1.rar
    Android1.9.part2.rar
    Android2.2.rar
    Android2.2V2.rar

    The reflash process is quite simple:

    - Download the .rar file.
    - Format (select the FAT 32 file system option) a SD card (2 GB minimum).
    - Open and extract the .rar file to the SD card.
    - The SD card will now read as a "script" folder only.
    - Insert the SD card in the SD card slot of your netbook.
    - Turn the netbook on. The reflash will automatically start and run by itself.
    - Give it enough time, as it's a large folder (~155 MB, more or less).
    - When done, turn the netbook off, remove the SD card, and turn the netbook back on.
    - Be sure to erase the "script" folder off the SD card, as it's no longer needed, and an accidental reflash is inconvenient.

    Note that Android operating systems are best suited for touch-screen netbooks (versus WinCE keyboard netbooks), so may not work at all on your Windows CE netbook. But no big deal, just reflash with another operating system on the list, although I've read that small remnants of a previous reflash may still remain.

    I've uploaded my own "Microsoft Windows Embedded CE 6.0 800x480 pixel jpeg desktop background, which will fit in well with your desktop icons.

    I have gone through great lengths in this review, not only for the benefit of the users, but suggestions for the manufacturer(s) of these devices. It's a pity these netbooks weren't designed and built just a little better, as they could have been the ideal solution for a mass market in the third world. So, for the time being, this mass-produced netbook serves as mute testimony to the reality that the Chinese workplace can sometimes be all too similar to the American workplace, where initiative and innovation is swiftly punished.

    After all of this, I have come to the conclusion that there is a place in my life, for this 7-inch netbook. In the move towards a paperless society, it's a handy and convenient substitute for my inkjet printer: Instead of being printed out, printed matter can, instead, be simply downloaded and saved as a PDF file, to the Desktop of the 7-inch netbook, and viewed as needed. But the 7-inch device is not instant-on: It does take about 35 seconds for the netbook to boot up, plus about 35 seconds to open up the downloaded PDF file, of, say, a downloaded evening TV schedule. This netbook is also perfect for reading downloaded books and such, on the go. This device complements my rugged Windows XP laptop, a real workhorse, with a 14-inch diagonal screen and internal battery that will run the device for about two hours. And when I really need to travel light, I have a Palm TX, with a 480x320 color screen (4" diagonal), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 32GB SD card upgrade, a tiny battery powered thermal printer, and a full-size foldout keyboard (for full-speed typing), and an internal battery that will run the device for over 7 hours.

    I hope this helps.
    Good luck and have fun with it.

    Lack of training and management support


    Property Manager - Multiple Locations (Former Employee) - Multiple Locations - April 14, 2020


    This company manages primarily special needs and affordable housing communities. There is zero training or preparation for working with special needs populations, you are dropped into a property and its sink or swim. This can be a traumatic experience when dealing with residents who have very serious mental illness or drug histories. Residents who lash out, threaten you verbally and physically, ask inappropriate questions and don't understand the limits of your role. Management and ownership expect you to have social service skills but give you absolutely no training.


    I would go months without seeing my regional manager and when I did need support the regional manager was not willing or able to support me. I worked at multiple properties, and at one in particular my regional manager would flat out lie to me, send me all caps shouty emails, and sabotage my success by telling me to do x and then not backing me up with the owners or residents. I was not encouraged or allowed to obtain affordable housing certifications.


    Working for this company was such a traumatic experience I don't feel I can return to that industry, which is a shame because despite all of the above, I was very good at it and would eventually earn the respect of the residents on my own by being fair and consistent while providing a safe and well-maintained place to live.

    Great Company to work for they let their managers be managers and they back them


    Property Manager (Former Employee) - West Hollywood - February 7, 2020


    John Stewart was the best Property Manangement company I ever worked for. They gave you guidance, but autonomy, they supported your decisions and backed you when it came to resident issues. I was very fortunate to have worked for such a company!

    Very eductional. The on-going training is really good and always updated.


    Property Manager (Current Employee) - Sacramento, CA - May 18, 2019


    The company treats its employees very well. As far as what they offer employees in benifits.


    Upper Management (RM) need to have more focus and attention on their managers(PMs).
    Managers(PMs) are not given the support they need to feel comfortable or be successful. It's a sink or swim work place..


    RM's are absent and only show attention to their PM's when they are on a deadline or if audits are coming up. Other then that PM's are on their own.


    Pro's: Company as a whole is a pretty good company to work for. And they offer great benifits..Their therories and traing are the best I have ever experience in a company.
    Negitives: Favoritism, low pay and little support depending on your RM.


    Pros


    great training, good benifits


    Cons


    favoritism, Low pay, little support from RM..

    Great stepping stone


    Property Manager (Former Employee) - Los Angeles County, CA - October 29, 2018


    If you are interested in learning about affordable housing - its a great stepping stone in the right direction..Pay is ok, but it doesn't account to the location of the property as properties can be located in the worst areas or have crazy residents. Luckily, my residents are not too much of a headache and the experience overall, has built my character as a property manager.


    I dislike the portfolios we take in.
    The worst feeling is not being able to succeed in your job when upper management can't get the hold of the owners because they don't answer any of their emails or calls.This leads to mickey mouse repairs from vendors, below par state inspections scores, unhappy residents, and unhappy employees.


    Upper management is also a hit or miss. Some are well versed in affordable housing and can be on it or you can get the opposite which means they are no where to be found.
