How Letters of Credit (Documentary Credits) work
Letters of Credit, also known as Commercial and Documentary Credits, are used to guarantee payment to the seller and delivery of goods to the buyer. Payment is exchanged for documents in the Letter of Credit cycle provided that the stipulated documents are presented correctly and the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit are complied with.
The basic Letter of Credit operation is as follows. Please note that variations of this procedure can occur. This basic procedure covers the movement of goods and services.
• The Buyer (as Applicant) completes a bank application form requesting that their bank (as Issuing Bank) issues a Letter of Credit in favour of the Seller (the Beneficiary).
This form should include details such as the documents to be presented, the terms and conditions to be complied with and the payment period agreed.
• The Issuing Bank issues a Credit in favour of the Beneficiary stating its irrevocable undertaking to pay the Beneficiary on condition that all documents requested have been presented and all terms and conditions are complied with.
Please note that this undertaking is enforceable against the Issuing Bank even if the Buyer is unwilling or unable to pay. Consequently, once a Letter of Credit is issued it cannot be cancelled by the Buyer without agreement from all parties, or until it expires.
• The Issuing Bank will ask a bank in the Seller's country with which it has a correspondent banking relationship (the Advising Bank) to notify/advise the credit to the Beneficiary.
• Once advised the Credit may be payable at the counters of the Issuing Bank; the counters of a specific nominated bank in the Beneficiary's country or at the counters of any bank in the case of a freely negotiated Credit. The Nominated bank is usually the Advising Bank.
• A Letter of Credit can be confirmed by a bank (the Confirming Bank) in the Beneficiary's country. When a Letter of Credit is confirmed, it is payable at the counters of the Confirming Bank.
A confirmation of a Letter of Credit is a separate undertaking from that of the Issuing Bank. Confirmations are chargeable and can be costly. It is not absolutely necessary to have a Confirmed Letter of Credit, but in some circumstances it is strongly advised to do so.
• When the Credit is advised to the Beneficiary two documents are issued. The Letter of Credit itself and an additional letter from the Advising Bank detailing out who the documents should be presented to and the bank address the documents must be sent to. This could be the Advising Bank, a specific Nominated Bank or any bank if the Credit is freely negotiable. If the Letter of Credit is Confirmed, the presentation of documents is always to the Confirming Bank.
Sometimes this address is different from the branch issuing the letter. Always check to ensure that the instructions on presentation of documents is clear and unambiguous. If not, contact the Advising bank and obtain clear instructions.
• The Beneficiary despatches the goods and presents the stipulated documents to the bank. The documents must be compliant with the Letter of Credit terms and conditions and in accordance with UCP (Uniform Customs and Practices) 600.
UCP 600 is the current set of rules issued by the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce), which apply to the Credit when the text of the Credit expressly indicates that it is subject to these rules.
• The Nominated/Confirming Bank may pay the Beneficiary provided the stipulated documents have been presented and the terms and conditions of the Credit have been complied with. The Nominated Bank then sends the documents to the Issuing Bank.
• The Buyer (Applicant) obtains the documents upon payment to the Issuing Bank and uses these documents to effect delivery of the goods.

Constraining a Sewer Snake
Posted by Ed in Home Ec, Machine Shop on 2010-07-05
Had the occasion to run the flexy snake through a kitchen drain that turned out to be not as plugged up as I expected, which is always good news. Replaced the cleanout plug, hosed off the snake, coiled it up, and applied the usual three nylon cable ties to keep the snake together.
It took me years to figure out that last step. None of the old-school tricks work for me; I can't tie knots in string / twine / rope while simultaneously holding those coils together and the snake resists any attempt to weave the loose ends into the bundle.
Mercifully, I don't use the snake all that often and I don't feel at all bad about tossing three cable ties each time.
You figured that out long ago, right?

What better way to let go of thoughts…
Life is challenging. It throws you tests every other day and you're there wondering how you are meant to deal with it?
What have I encountered in the last month. After a visit to my home town Perth, I encountered some family drama (as you do), my dog dying and baring my inner feelings to someone who couldn't return them. Let's just say biggest and shittiest timing I have encountered. Upon returning to Melbourne I've had fights with friends – shit that shouldn't even happen and I don't want to deal with and yet I'm always entangled… maybe because I care too much. I nearly had a break down at work – just one day everything was just too overwhelming but going through what happened prior to this, it just seemed the sequences of events was too much. Also, making stupid mistakes at work doesn't help. On top of this, I have had bowel issues that really needed attention and I went for a STD test to ensure I was clean, after having unprotected sex (like an idiot). Thank goodness I have people to share my testing issues with.
One by one all these issues have been ticked off my lists of things that I've overcome. All I can say is, I don't like sitting here in pain after having surgery which involved some anal probing. The next thing on my list is to get cracking on my animal studies and get back into a routine of studying (I'm finding it difficult) and finding a house to buy. My fuck, housing in Melbourne is excruciatingly painful. Painful in the fact that anywhere lovely is over 1 million. Maybe I need to work harder in gaining my footballer husband.
Is this post relevant to anything? Maybe… I just wanted to say that everyone has their own struggles and we shouldn't judge anyone before knowing what they might be going through. We are all fighting our own little battles no matter how significant or insignificant to some. I'm not saying my problems trumps over anyone elses issues. I know that people suffer worse than me. I am thankful my problems are easily solvable and I can deal with them provided I surround myself with positive people. It's amazing how my perspective changes with just some inspirational quotes you find on Facebook and how getting rid of toxic people and toxic issues just make your life better. It's so simple but I guess I need that random post to swim into my news feed for me to be reminded. Let me share with you some of my favs and hope that you too can make a difference for the better 🙂

It's time to sit down with the Masters and learn all about Seagrasses!A very alert and attentive class settled for the Level 1 Seagrass Watch classroom session with Len McKenzie and Rudi Yoshida of Seagrass-Watch HQ.
Len shared lots of fascinating facts about seagrasses throughout the world and our region.
From the many different kinds that can be found. Wow! About 60 species worldwide! And our region has the highest number of species.Seagrasses are flowering plants and of course they have fruits! And some (as I learnt today) have a nut: which is a fruit with one seed.
He shared more about the tricky bits of seagrasses.
And how they came about from gazillions of years of evolution, from the sea and back again. To ensure we learnt all the points, there were quizzes in between. Some of the more 'experienced' people took advantage of the younger brains to get by their quizzes.Meanwhile, in the back of the room, Wei Ling and Shufen were setting up samples for the hands-on ID session. While Siti (of course) was furiously preparing her presentation.It was soon time to try our hand at seagrasss ID.Which requires taking a real close look.It helps to hold the seagrass blade up against the light if you want to count veins and look at other features.
Or if the seagrass is real tiny.Getting a friend to double check also helps.
The skyward homage with seagrass in hand is almost a standard ID position!Siti shows tiny features, with the naked eye.And with the awesome stereo microscope!
Len goes through loads of materials. Among his final points are that our processes undergo Quality Control.
This is why it is important for us to have a method, to understand what we have to do, do it properly and completely.
He also shared a little about Seagrass Watch.Siti also shared briefly about our seagrasses.Including just how rich our Eastern shores were before the reclamation. Seagrasses that are now only found in our offshore islands, were recorded for these Eastern shores in the past.She also shared about some of our findings. But we really need to do the monitoring over a longer period in order to get a better understanding of our seagrass meadows.There were lots of goodies given away. Wei Ling prepared a delicious and well appreciated dinner. Jeremy bought the working crew kopi and teh (which Len tasted for the first time). And everyone was helpful in being punctual so that we could cover the super-packed programme in good time.
We are deeply impressed by Len's knowledge and for sharing it with us, and doing so for hours and hours, immediately after a grueling field trip. Wow!
Thank you everyone!
Team members who attended the session were: Jerome, Hannah, Edwin, Yoke Xi , Chun Fong, Kah Ming, Sean, Suryati, Jinwen, Cheng Puay,Andy, Helen, Liu Jia, Adelle, Michell, Saurabh, Si Hui, Nor Aishah, Richard, Cornie, Jeremy, Sunshine, Jia Yan, Joo Yong, Hassan, Mohammad Rozaimi, Ben, Yuet Hsin, Anuj.
Tomorrow, we meet again on Chek Jawa for the Level 1 field session!

WASHINGTON — Speaker Paul D. Ryan expressed annoyance on Thursday at the $1.1 trillion year-end spending bill now on the House floor. "You know I don't like this process, right?" he told reporters. "I mean you know we inherited a process, a cake that was pretty much more than half-baked."
The accompanying $650 billion tax-cut measure is another matter. Until becoming speaker, Mr. Ryan was chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, and he remains his party's leader on tax policy.
By a vote of 318 to 109, the House on Thursday approved the tax-cut package, which will add more than a half-trillion dollars to the deficit, and supporters and critics alike said that the bill represented Mr. Ryan's deeply held belief that tax cuts ultimately pay for themselves by fostering economic growth.
The approach also fits with his long-term vision for a more sweeping overhaul of the tax code that would lower rates for corporations and individuals and, according to some skeptics, would leave less money in the budget to spend on government programs.
"That's been Paul Ryan's long-term plan," said Representative Sander Levin of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the Ways and Means Committee, where he was a longtime adversary of Mr. Ryan. "He really believes in supply-side economics."
The tax measure, which is expected to be approved by the Senate on Friday, would permanently extend several tax breaks that have been renewed repeatedly on a temporary basis, including a popular business tax credit for research expenses and a benefit for certain capital investments. It would also permanently extend an enhanced child tax credit, a $2,500 college tax credit and a more robust earned-income tax credit for low-income families.
Other provisions in the bill include a small-but-symbolic tax deduction for teachers who spend their own money on books, supplies and computer equipment used in the classroom; and a separate deduction for state and local sales taxes. The measure would also postpone some key components of the Affordable Care Act, by delaying, for example, the so-called Cadillac tax on high-cost, employer-sponsored health plans.
In a statement after the vote, Mr. Ryan called the bill "a pivotal step towards rewriting our broken tax code by ending Washington's days of extending tax policies one year at a time." Mr. Ryan added, "This package of permanent extenders will shield families from a tax hike and provide businesses with greater economic certainty to grow and prosper, which means higher wages and more full-time jobs for American workers."
Some senior Democrats, however, have railed against the measure, saying it favored big corporate interests over the middle class.
The House Democratic leader, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, who voted against the measure, said that it was wrong of Republicans not to offset the cost of the tax breaks. "Having all that unpaid for, in my view, is unconscionable," Ms. Pelosi said at a news conference.
"The idea that this future is built on the quicksand of tax breaks, deepening the deficit, making the deficit even larger, in the out-years, threatening the stability of Social Security, is just plain wrong," Ms. Pelosi said. "But it fits comfortably in a plan that they have had since President Bush became president: tax cuts for the wealthy, let it trickle down, if it will."
Mr. Levin said that Democratic leaders strongly supported the child tax credit, earned-income tax credit and college tax credit, but that they could not support the bill because it would serve a larger Republican goal in further shrinking the resources available for discretionary domestic spending on government programs.
"What it does is to really starve the beast, which for Republicans is discretionary spending," Mr. Levin said, noting that the level of discretionary spending as part of the economy is the lowest since 1962.
Among the programs to face cuts in recent years, he noted, were Head Start, Pell grants for college students, the National Institutes of Health and job training. (The omnibus spending measure includes a substantial increase in funding for the National Institutes of Health after several years of cuts.)
Other Democrats said the opportunity to extend permanently the tax breaks for middle-class and working-poor Americans was too important to pass up.
"We have been trying forever to get something good for the middle class and the working poor — and this is a jackpot," the Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, said in an interview.
With negotiations over the huge year-end deal down to the wire, Mr. Reid said he spent all day Sunday at home fielding calls from senators eager to secure their priorities. "I never took off my pajamas — 65 phone calls," Mr. Reid said, adding, "It would have been nice if I had showered."
Mr. Reid praised Mr. Ryan for taking a practical approach, comparing him to the former Senate Republican leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi. "He was a pragmatic man; he wanted to get things done," Mr. Reid said. "That's how Paul Ryan approaches me. No one can question his conservative credentials, but if there were ever an example of pragmatism, it's what we have done in the last few days."
Some fiscal watchdog groups, however, said that Republicans and Democrats were complicit in supporting a huge legislative package that would bust through previously agreed-upon spending caps and add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit.
"It's shocking to see that hundreds of billions of dollars are going to be added to the debt with such bipartisan support," said Stephen Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington-based group.
Maya MacGuineas, president of the Washington-based Committee for a Responsible Budget, said the reason the tax breaks had been temporary was because Congress could never agree to offset the cost of them.
"They were temporary policies in the first place because no one was willing to pay for them," Ms. MacGuineas said. "Spending and tax cuts shouldn't be treated differently — they should both be paid for."
She said that Mr. Ryan over his career had often put forward fiscally responsible tax and spending proposals but that the current package fell short.
"The challenge for Paul Ryan is twofold — to move away the obstructionist tactics of the House Republicans such as threatening a government shutdown or default, which he successfully did in this negotiation, and to push for fiscal responsibility," she said.
Representative Kevin Brady, Republican of Texas, who succeeded Mr. Ryan as the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, insisted that the tax package represented sound policy.
"It's financially responsible because preventing a tax increase is never a cost," Mr. Brady said in a speech on the House floor. "Republicans have always worked to stop Washington from taking more money from the hard-working Americans who earned it." He said, "This bill serves as a path forward to pro-growth tax reform."

At the foot of each bunk sat a helmet and boot for the Santa of Soldiers to fill up with loot. The soldiers were sleeping and snoring away as they dreamed of "back home" on good Christmas day. One snoozed with his rifle - he seemed so content. I slept with the letters my family had sent. When outside the tent there arose such a clatter. I sprang from my rack to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash. Poked out my head, and yelled "What was that crash?" When what to my thrill and relief should appear but one of our blackhawks to give the all clear. More rattles and rumbles I hear a deep whine! Then up drove eight heavily armored MRAPs, a jeep close behind. The convoy commander leaped down and he paused.

Samuel Beckett participates in a cultural anxiety about the limits of representation, an anxiety manifested not only in literature, but also in mathematics, neurology, physics, psychology, and now in the world of educational technology. This anxiety became acute during the first half of the twentieth century as various discourses deployed strategies that exploited this heightened awareness of the intrinsic incompleteness and inconsistency of systematic knowledge. Whatever their disciplinary differences, they nonetheless shared the sense that recognizing these limits was an opportunity to understand discourse both from within narrow disciplinary practices and from without in a larger logical and philosophical framework that made the aspiration toward completeness quaint and naïve. They situated the mind as a sort of boundary phenomenon between the deployment of discourses and an extra-linguistic reality.
At the core of this sensibility was a recognition that language might always fail to re-present its objects, but that those objects were nonetheless real and expressible as a function of the naming process. An important corollary was that these gaps were not only a token for the interplay of word and world, but were also an opportunity to illuminate the gap itself. In short, symbol systems seemed to stand as a different order of phenomena than whatever they proposed to represent, and the result was a burst of innovative work across a variety of disciplines.
Beckett's treatment of mathematics as a sign system reminds us to interrogate the mathematical claims that suffuse contemporary culture and are especially evident in the justifications and rationales for "edtech," "big data," etc. These claims need to be debunked with the critical strategies embedded in Beckett's work: semiotics, phenomenology, and the understanding that they are just as much a text as any novel or play by Samuel Beckett.
Below is the complete text of a paper published in The Journal of Beckett Studies that explores Beckett's work in terms of the cultural crisis surrounding the recogniton that the world is . . . a text. I hope that those interested in digital technologies might use it as a model for understanding their limits and powers.

Strangely I'm finding that cataloging the toxic weeds in the yard is therapeutic. I'm slowly getting around to pulling all of them, but there are just so many methods for them appearing in the yard that it's really a matter of keeping on top of it every day. Oddly enough, I strongly suspect that the elk are the main distributors, despite the fact that some of these plants are toxic even to them. It's almost as though they eat everything in sight even if it makes them sick. But then again they are elk, and are not known for being smarter than your average bear.
Today's highlighted plant is tansy ragwort. Somehow this managed to show up as one plant and within three years it's everywhere. Eradicating this pest is one of my goals for this summer, which is the best excuse I found for getting myself a hori hori. The plant has to be fully pulled from the ground or it just resprouts. I'm hoping that chopping it just below the node will be sufficient to kill it as the root systems spread wide and will end up pulling a lot of the surrounding ground cover if I have to pull each plant fully. They're pretty enough to look at that I would leave them in place except that they're actually toxic and will cause liver damage to ruminants. As I have one cat that would fit that description, out it comes.

Dallas Morning News columnist Norma Adams-Wade wrote today about two men trying to make sure a Dallas-based architect is not forgotten.
"Some people get lost in the shuffle of history. But two Dallas men are stumping during Black History Month to highlight a Dallas-born architect who they say should be remembered for leaving his mark on the network of DART transit centers," Adams-Wade says of the late The Stanley Willie Jackson Jr.
Fellow architect Clyde Porter and a historical preservationist, the Rev. Ray Barnett, have been lining up groups to hear their discussion about Jackson, which they feel will bring him more recognition. The men say Jackson's 1980s schematics and prototypes led to the first 10 Dallas Area Rapid Transit centers and influenced the more than 30 centers that followed.
Porter was DART's chief architect from 1985 to 1988 and now oversees architecture as Dallas County Community College District associate vice chancellor of facilities management and planning. He also co-founded a group of minority architects in Texas. While at DART, Porter said, he hired a team of African-American and Latino designers — featuring Jackson and his firm as architect-of-record — to develop concepts for the transit centers.

letter to trinity: 54 months
Do you know where the month of November went exactly? I seem to have misplaced it. I just sat down to begin this letter and realized that I missed writing one on or about the 4th of December. Sorry about that. I suppose we got busy.
I guess I have had a lot going on, but that's not much of an excuse. I'll make up for it with plenty of xmas pics and stories. But before I get to that:
"I wish I didn't have a family. I wish it was just me and Maya." You said those words the week before christmas, in response to having to go to sleep while we were staying up. We weren't really sure how to take this; certainly we realized that it was a knee-jerk response when you didn't get your way about staying up even later than you already had. But it was a bit of a watershed moment for us, as it was as yet the most painful thing you've ever said to either of us.
I am sure that it won't be the worst thing we'll ever hear you say to us. If you're anything like the women in either your Mom's or my family, you're not going to have a problem with verbalizing emotional states that you might regret later on.
But thankfully that is the only thing that came from you that I didn't want to hear in these last few months, at least that I can remember right now. You have been a very affectionate, curious kid lately, and you often want to engage your Mom or I in some modified play with your toys or a game. Its not enough to play the game under the rules, but you usually want to change the way the game is played and are usually chiding us to keep up. Its pretty funny and shows a depth of imagination that I am very proud of.
This month, I have been trying to get more time with just the two of us. To that end, we have gone to the theater twice, once to see 'The Princess and the Frog' and another to see 'The Chipmunks Squeakquel'. We have been going on walks together, sometimes me pulling you on the sled, sometimes you end up wrestling me in the snow. Its always a lot of fun hanging out just the two of us, and time alone with you is something that I want to do a whole lot more of. I am looking into a weekly yoga class for us to take that should start up this month. More on that next letter.
Now, to christmas. This year we tried hard not to spoil you too much. I kept trying to rein your Mom in from buying too many presents, not because I don't want to give you everything I can, but because I want you to value the things you do get. As it was it ended up being like trying to swim against the tide. I managed to convince your Mom not to go completely crazy, but we had a very large tree and it was circled by an awful pile of presents, almost every one of them for you.
Your favourite thing from us this year was a Barbie RV that your Mom wanted for you as much as she thought you might want it yourself. Nothing wrong with a little vicarious living. I admit to a certain sense of pride when you want to watch superhero cartoons with me. But once you saw that RV, you could have just as easily left the rest of the presents for next year, I think.
You got a few Barbies to go with it, a couple of dolls, and an EZ Bake oven, but that was the bulk of the toys. We got you a few games and a lot of craft supplies, in an attempt to at least get you things you might learn from, but the truth is you learn from your interactions with whatever you play with, so that's a bit of a non-issue.
The other present you got this year that you went crazy over wasn't from us at all. Your Mom's parents got you a pair of skates, and these went over very well indeed with you. It just happens that this year the lake in front of your grandparents froze over perfectly smooth, and from a spot only a few hundred yards from their beach, the lake is frozen as smooth as glass for miles onwards. This combined with only a skiff of snow meant that once we were done opening presents, we took you out on the lake to break in your skates. You loved it, and took to it amazingly well. Your Uncle Dave was good enough to give you your first skating lesson, and I have since gotten myself a pair of skates. I haven't been on a pair for a very long time, but my own Dad had me in a pair before I could walk properly, so I should be able to teach you a few tricks.
We celebrated New Year's this year the way we do most things, quietly and as a family. We stayed home for the night, had a BBQ, and set off a pile of fireworks on the front lawn. You loved that part, though you were too excited to wait until anywhere near midnight.
And thanks to a rare second full moon in one month, the night was bright enough for a very late trip to the local park. Oddly enough at almost midnight on New Year's Eve, we had the place to ourselves.
I hope you know how much you enrich my life, Trin. And I look forward to another year of adventure, challenge and reward with you.
Love you,

If you haven't heard of Ann Friedman, Happy Friday! As you can see from the lovely pie chart above, she's witty and like me, she pretends not to know what OKCupid is when her married friends ask.
Also, she's hilarious. Did I say that already? Here's her fantastic blog, and a post on International Slutty Women's Day: A Story in GIFs, which I adore.
Ann's humor works best in context for me, so it's hard to just pick a pithy quote or two, so I've included links for context:
It's true that everyone in the world thinks everyone else is having more sex than they are. Especially people they consider attractive. I am here to tell you that this is probably not the case! And it is definitely not the case when it comes to accomplished and funny and beautiful women who would like to be having sex with men.
Are you shocked by this news? Yes? Welcome, heterosexual male readers! (From "Neko Case Can't Get Laid!")
As a single lady with little time or inclination to go on traditional dates, I'll admit it: I've long been jealous of my gay friends' access to Grindr, the location-based casual-hookup app. For almost as long, I've been telling just about anyone who will listen to me that we need a heterosexual version of this technology. (From "Blendr Isn't Grindr: Why We Still Don't Have a Straight Hookup App")
Rumpus: As someone who spends so much professional time on the Internet, how—and why, and when—do you disconnect? What's the best thing about the time you spend offline?
Friedman: I have a dream of retreating to a #spinstercabin for a few weeks of respite from the Internet. In the meantime, I make a point of occasionally leaving my house without my phone. Or I drink enough whiskey that I am unable to operate it. (From an interview at The Rumpus. Also, me too, girl. Me, too.)

Dear reader,
Since its birth in 2008, Bitcoin's taken the world by storm.
Slowly but surely, Bitcoin is gaining momentum as a legitimate currency - and people are now starting to consider it as an investment - and as a viable alternative to cash!
It's changing the way businesses, governments and regular people think about money…
But despite all its hype and potential, most people don't understand how Bitcoin really works… And how to make money from it.
And that presents a HUGE opportunity for fast-acting investors to get onto the Bitcoin revolution at the ground-floor, and hang on for life-changing profits!
Bitcoin is a virtual currency that crawled out of the deep web, and the realm of hackers and computer nerds and found a way to make everyday investors and businesses of all sizes and all over the world, very rich - almost overnight.
Basically, virtual currencies like Bitcoin work in almost the same way as cash - in that you can buy, sell and invest with it.
BUT because it is a virtual currency, is it not bound to any one country's economy and it makes paying for stuff online - anywhere in the world - quick, easy and almost anonymous - that's a huge deal.
And that is exactly why it's time for serious investors to get to know Bitcoin like the back of their hands.
Why virtual currencies are the most important currency today
You need to know the intricacies of how virtual currencies work in as much detail as you understand regular cash.
Or even stocks or bonds…
Because electronic cash (like Bitcoin) will change the way we transact online.
The whole world is catching on to the use of a virtual currency. It's the money of the Digital Age!
Just look at what is going on in the world as we speak:
Bitcoin-related news makes headlines every day…
Every week it seems there is a new overnight Bitcoin millionaire on the front page of the newspapers...
And each month that passes, hundreds of new vendors start accepting Bitcoin as payment...
Even a few universities now accept Bitcoin as payment for tuition!
Governments the world over, including China, the US, Taiwan and Norway are reconsidering their policies and scrambling for some sort of grasp of the Bitcoin revolution at hand.
Good news for Bitcoin – Barclays now accept deposits
In 2015, Barclays collaborated with a Bitcoin exchange to allow transactions into its accounts. For the time being, only charities will be able to make use of the facility.
But, it looks like Barclays is serious about making use of Bitcoin. The Sunday Times reports that the bank currently has 75 people working on Bitcoin technology. This makes Barclays the first UK bank to support technology for the digital currency.
David Zeiler in Money Morning US explains, "It appears Barclays can see how big an impact Bitcoin could have on the current financial system."
Barclays isn't alone, there's a move to the adoption of Bitcoin technology. It's happening all over the world. According to CNBC, at least 100 banks have approached a Bitcoin wallet provider about integrating its technology into its systems.
Why is this so important?
The bottom line is: If you don't get to know Bitcoin, understand how it works and how to make it work for you — you'll fall behind the current investment trends…
And you might lose out on big profits and important business opportunities.
But make no mistake, you can still make money from Bitcoin – if you just know HOW.
And that's exactly why FSP Invest's resident MoneyMorning columnist and Bitcoin experts, Joshua Benton, Francois Joubert, Aiden Sookdin and Timon Rossolimos put together the all-you-need to know guide to understanding and profiting from Bitcoin today.

"The common prayer-cry is, "Fill me and lift me up!" The Divine answer is very often: "Be emptied and go down!"
Effectual service demands seven things:-
a. Holiness of heart.
b. Righteousness of life.
c. Devotion to the Word.
d. Absolute obedience to the Holy Spirit.
e. Communion with God.
f. Power in prayer.
g. Passion for souls.
We cannot be in line with the Spirit for His work unless we are in line with His law of holiness of heart and life. With very many the first step in this lies in getting right with their fellow-men."

One day at the library we happened to chance upon this book.
It is a charming tale, with wonderful illustrations, about a family with a little devil. At first the family is overwhelmed at the disruptions the naughty little devil creates in their lives and can think of nothing worst than life with him. Then one day there is a knock at the door. A tiny and smartly dressed devil is there with the offer of getting rid of their little devil and in turn she will move in and kept house for them. The family resists at first, but then their little devil does something to send them over the edge. Their little naughty devil is banished and the new one moves in taking over the entire house and causing absolute pandemonium. The book is written after and holds true to the old idiom, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't."
When Maaike first got her trach, at 1 month old, it was the devil. It changed everything about our lives, where we lived, what we could do, where we could go, our dreams and adventures were turned on their heads, and for awhile I wasn't sure how we would ever recover. But, with time and familiarity her trach became "the devil we knew." It still very much changes our lives, but I'm not afraid of it anymore and in deed I am thankful that a little devilish piece of plastic preserved her life and allowed Maaike to bring us the immeasurable joy she has.
I have dreamed about the day when Maaike would be decannulated and we could throw her traches in the trash. I have longed for the days when we don't have to divide our family activities, but we can all go together, cold and flu season or not. It seems too good to be true that those days may be coming upon us. And to be honest, I am terrified. Could we be trading the devil we know for something much worse?
I fear sudden swellings and flareups with no sure airway. I fear surgery and recoveries without easy access. I fear it is too early. I fear emergency phone calls and CPR. I fear the worst. I fear my fears. I fear the unknown.
|on the way home from her last appointment with a baggy full of fashion coordinating trach caps
Maaike calls her trach caps "bottle caps". She is adorable. And, she is doing well with them. The process is pretty quick. Start with 2 minutes the first day, then 4 the next, and continue to double each day. In the span of a couple of weeks you come to having the trach capped for eight hours a day. We are almost there. The next step is a capped sleep study at the hospital. This will be very telling to whether she is really ready or not. If the answer is "Yes" then they basically pull out the trach and stick a band aid over it. In 15 minutes it will start to heal itself. Unlike an earring hole, a trach hole or stoma, doesn't patch itself into permanency, it is an open wound held open only by the trach and once the trach is removed it will start to heal itself. Amazing really.
So here we are, familiar and resolved in a trached life that looks to be turned up on its head again. I suppose we will adapt as we did before and always have. I suppose I most fear a false sense of hope, but whether I am ready or not I have a marvelously spunky two year old who has grown and overcome against so many odds and if she is ready then I will be along for the ride.

Cheating! In schools? Say it isn't so.
This just in from the BBC, complete with a scary headline to drive traffic to the story:
Yes, cheating on exams exists. It has always occurred and now we have a new bogeyman – those evil cellphones! Here's the interesting part of the story, or as I like to say; How to scare people with useless statistics:
Figures from Ofqual show a 6% rise in cheating by candidates although the body points out cheating is still very rare, affecting 0.03% of exams taken.
So .03% of all exams taken had some sort of cheating occur. That's just HUGE isn't it? Not so much. The real issue is that we are still trying to quantify learning based on multiple-guess assessments. How about if we make the assessment non-Google-able instead, and assess student ability to locate data, and discern if that data is valid, and then use it to make new knowledge from that data?
Back to the story:
Another approach, tested in Denmark, has been to stop trying to prevent the use of technology in exams and allow pupils to have open access to the internet.
I wonder which country will have better creative thinkers in the coming years? My money is on Denmark.

He was an incredible man, and stood for peace.
Although I'm giving away my age, I remember when he was shot. I was a little too young to understand the impact at the time. (I was far more interested in the boys than the politics of the day.) Today I can't watch his speech without tears rushing down my face. It disturbs me to think that a peaceful man who worked so hard for non-violence was killed in such a violent way.
Here's one more video, a song that warms my heart! It goes right along with the teachings of Dr. King, and something children will understand:

Paige Ackerson-Kiely's "My Love is a Dead Arctic Explorer"
My Love is a Dead Arctic Explorer
On "My Love is a Dead Arctic Explorer"
Mostly, for me, writing is a feral act. Mostly I am consumed by a hunch, irritated, harassed or made uncomfortable by something I can only clumsily accuse. I approach images and words as though they are a criminal or maybe just a far-flung snarl, and maybe that snarl is coming from me—I don't always know, though mostly I am the only one in the room. Anyhow, I'm not interested in judgement, but I do like the
I chose this poem even though it is not particularly representative of the book. It's the title poem, sure, but
My Love is a Dead Arctic Explorer the manuscript began as a book-length response to Admiral Richard E. Byrd's memoir, Alone. I had thought the entire book might be dedicated to exploring the notion of exploration, but it didn't end up that way, for a variety of reasons. This poem was one of the first I composed, way back in July 2007, in the throes of a heatwave at the Jentel Colony in Wyoming, a fantastically supportive and wild place.
Writing delicate snow poems just wasn't happening in 100°F—I was desirous of cold, too desirous—and exploration is more than desire, it is necessary. I remain steadfast in this belief. What could I do to allay the uncooperative weather but take a more general approach to Byrd's work? Why was I so moved by polar exploration, and what was I trying to say about these books that had moved me so, provided pleasure by the
In this poem I attempt to discuss, through a conflation of creation myths, the idea of being formed by literature. One fact of my life—and probably the lives of most people reading this—is that I have often been consoled by books, have found a life for myself within those pages, when that sort of life was not available to me on the outside. The accretion of narratives, overtime, gave me a shape I was comfortable living in. The act of reading provided an architecture previously unknown—with every book, a new window for looking out. I wrote this poem hoping to describe the responsibility of the reader—to suspend, to remain open and calm—and the responsibility of the writer—to create the reader, to provide the reader with a body—and to
celebrate, however quietly, the end result.

Trypan Blue Staining - (Feb/08/2012 )
Is it possible to stain with trypan blue in the petri dish itself, without lifting the cells and counting them in a hemacytometer? If so, does anyone have a protocol for it?
how do you plan to get the cells into hemocytometer without lifting them?
Just add a few microliter of trypan blue will stain your cells on a petri dish. But you have to trypsinize them to get them into a hemocytometer.
that's the thing, i don't want to get them into a hemocytometer--I don't want to lift or count in a hemocytometer.
I want to be able to stain them in the dish so I can just visualize approx number of dead cells, after doing that, I want to stain the cells. I want to be able to distinguish between dead and alive cells.
Do you have any suggestions/protocol of dilution of trypan blue/how long to leave in the dish. have you ever done it before?
I havn't stained for trypan and with another staining simultaneously. You could try it. But wash well, before the actual staining procedure.
For the trypan staining, I just add 10ul into 100ul cell suspension and you can look at them immediately under the hemacytometer.
One concern would be that during the staining procedure, you could lose the dead cells.
May be setup 2 dishes, one for counting dead cells with trypan and other for staining.

To understand magazine advertising, you have to understand the magazine business model. Ray Bard of Bard Publishing explained it best when he said:
"When you're thinking about writing a book on a subject or considering a
business to go into, it's essential that you find out 2 things:
"If interest is not widespread and not very deep, you're looking at a Puddle. Never invest time or money in a puddle.
- How widespread is the public's interest in it?
- How deep is that interest?
"If interest is widespread but not very deep, you're looking at a Swamp. Be careful of swamps. They look like oceans at first because everyone is interested. But that interest is shallow, not deep enough to drive action. Investors go broke when they see a swamp and think it's an ocean.
"If public interest is wide and deep, you're looking at an Ocean. But you're going to need a platform on which to navigate your ocean. If you don't have a platform, you'll drown. And you're going to need a plan or you'll drift.
"If public interest is narrow but deep, you've got a Well.
Don't underestimate it. You can draw a lot of water from a well. I once knew a
writer who wrote a book called The Care and Feeding of Quarter Horses. The book held no interest for readers who didn't own a quarter horse, but those who did had deep enough interest to buy the book. It was extremely successful."
Magazines are Wells. Interest is narrow but deep. If you sell to rock climbers, there are magazines exclusively for rock climbers. If you sell to perennial gardeners, there are magazines for perennial gardeners.
No matter how niche your product, there is most likely a magazine that perfectly fits that niche. And unlike almost all other forms of traditional advertising, only magazines can consistently give you potential customers that exactly fit your profile.
So what's the downside? Two things...
- Frequency
- Cost
And costs for magazine ads can be astronomical. If it's a full color magazine, you probably need a full-color ad just to have a shot at getting seen, and those ads typically cost more.
But if you think a magazine might be the right avenue for your advertising campaign, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Make sure the readership fits your customer profile as closely as possible. Ask your current customers what magazine they read to help you choose which magazines would be the best fit.
- Understand the goal of the magazine and match your ad to the goal. If the magazine is used primarily to give event information, you should advertise your events. If the magazine primarily is used to give information, make your ads informational.
- Ask for discounted rates and priority placements in return for signing full-year contracts. The best customers get the best ad placements. Be one of their best customers.
- Use professional production for your ads. The magazine is using professionals. You should too.
- Keep it simple. Print ads are like billboards, only a limited time to get your attention. Your ad should be able to attract someone's attention is less than 3 seconds. Pay special attention to your headline and your graphics.
If there is a magazine with the exact right readers, a purpose aligned with the purpose of your business, a decent frequency, and a cost you can afford, you should consider it as a viable advertising option.
Do you agree or disagree?
