Red Blotches on the Breast
Red blotches on the breast can indicate a range of conditions, including hives, rash or dermatitis 1. Sometimes red blotches are caused by cancer. You may experience symptoms of itch or pain, or none at all. Other reasons for blotches include mastitis, mammary duct ectasia, Paget's disease of the breast or inflammatory breast cancer 34.
A red, warm, swollen and/or painful breast -- complete with chills or fever -- indicates a breast infection. Mastitis mostly affects women in the first few months of delivering a baby or while she is breastfeeding.
The Mayo Clinic website states it is not necessary to stop breastfeeding due to mastitis, but warns it may affect your energy levels, and therefore temporary interfere with your ability to care for the baby 123.
Mammary Duct Ectasia
When a milk duct dilates, that duct's walls may thicken and it may fill with fluid. Mammary duct estasia is more likely to affect women between the ages 40 and 60. For some, the skin below the nipple may become red or sensitive, for others it may cause a discharge from the nipple and for others there may be no symptoms. Often, this condition clears on its own. Other times, antibiotics or even surgery is required.
Paget's Disease
This form of breast cancer is rare, according to the Mayo Clinic website and is visible in the areola -- the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple and the nipple itself 123. It bears no relationship to a metabolic bone disease that bears the same name. Of the women diagnosed with Paget's disease of the breast, most are 50 years and older and also have ductal breast cancer 4.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Inflammatory breast cancer is more aggressive -- and less obvious to detect -- than any other breast cancers 5. Instead of making itself known as a lump that is found in self examination, clinical exam or a mammogram, IBC causes your breast to redden, swell and become warm. According to the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, the skin on the breast may develop dimples like the peel of an orange and the nipple might retract 5. Lymph nodes in the arm pit and below may swell.
Those symptoms resemble mastitis -- and because IBC represents only 6 percent of breast cancers diagnosed -- Love says it is reasonable for a doctor to treat the symptoms with antibiotics before ordering a biopsy.
Talk to Your Doctor
If your breast displays anything out of the ordinary, make an appointment with your health care provider for a check-up. In the interim, the Mayo Clinic website advises a few self-care measures: don't scratch, spread a fragrance-free moisturizer or add warmth to the area and avoid stress 123.

Excited for Gone, Girl. Can't wait to read Boy, Snow, Bird. Go, girls and women!
Look: I don't like writing these lists either. I long for the day in which I will no longer have to write them, when women will just be the people participating in the culture as full human beings like everyone else, because the culture will have quit giving disproportionate airtime to the other gender. In the meantime: Don't listen to the old fogeys who insist that the reason women don't make a lot of noise in the culture is that they do unremarkable work. You just don't hear enough about the remarkable work. Here are 25 women who will do great things this year.

Name: Mehves Ofelya Tangun
Hometown: Istanbul, Turkey
University: Brown University '13
Major: Engineering & Economics
What led you to apply for Venture for America?
After taking my first entrepreneurship class at Brown University I realized that I really enjoyed drafting business plans and pitching to investors. My entrepreneurship professor Danny Warshay introduced me to VFA. With his advice I decided to apply.
What were you doing when you found out you were accepted?
It was during my spring break when I was in Istanbul, Turkey, suffering from a horrible jetlag. So I was up at 3 am checking my emails in my bed when I received the email from Andrew Yang. At that moment, all it said was: "Let the celebrations begin". It was a memorable week!
Now that you're a Fellow, what are you most excited about with regard to VFA? What do you hope to accomplish?
I am very excited to be thrown out of my element and out of my comfort zone so that I could push myself in every project I undertake. As Andrew Yang said: "People spend money and time educating the market for consulting and finance. The theory is you must become a baller before you come back and change the world". Even though we laugh to this statement, which is said with a touch of sarcasm by Yang; I would like to be trained for the startup sector and I believe Venture for America is the right place for it. So far this is all I want to accomplish- gaining knowledge and experience after a "baller" training.
If you had to live one place for the rest of your life, where would you choose? Barcelona (minus the crisis)
Best thing about Brown: You are the master of your time!
Favorite Book: The Unbearable Lightness of Being- Milan Kundera
Favorite childhood TV show: Rocko's Modern Life and The Smurffs
Favorite meal: Dinner
Favorite holiday: Thanksgiving- even though I was introduced to it very recently, I cannot get over the food!
Best class you've ever taken: Entrepreneurship and Innovation by Danny Warshay
Favorite movie quote: "Do not be afraid to let go or forget… Because in reality, all that matters never leaves us…" –Mine Vaganti (Loose Cannons)
Favorite thing to do on Sunday: Sunday BRUNCH!
Favorite entrepreneur: Wolfgang Puck or Mario Batali (Going back and forth between the two)
Favorite cereal: Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Most worn article of clothing: Beige Scarf
Favorite sports team: The Celtics
Best trip you've ever been on: To the region of Cotes du Provence for wine tasting.
Favorite historical figure: Ataturk- The Great Turkish Leader who brought Democracy to Turkey
Accomplishment you're most proud of: Opening a bakery from scratch in a small town called Chepkanga in Kenya.

These photos were mostly taken during orientation week, and the rest at least within the first month, because, as you can see, it is still sunny and gorgeous. The weather shifts fairly rapidly into gloom and rain for about, oh, four months of autumn/winter, though in our second year, climate change granted us a mercifully long and mild autumn period. You know, as compensation for all the shit it has already given and will continue to give us everywhere else.
The East House lawn and the path to and from MCL; the latter is obviously the coolest dorm/house in Pearson. In retrospect (as always), it's a little amazing to consider how many times I've traversed the college on that path and how many of those times were hasty and blind with the knowledge that I was late to class. I am reminded of the autumn and spring evenings the setting sun ushered us, lingeringly, out of the caf and we, trailing back to our houses along the edge of the lawn, watched the people playing frisbee or rugby or catch or [insert recreational sport of choice], dispersing only when the light had grown too shy to see properly. The cheery May afternoons, too, when the sun teased us with its rapidly shifting rays, so that we were continuously forced to move our blankets and books ever to the right as it fell, but it was worth it for the glorious, blazing warmth, even as an afternoon exam revision session became two hours of nap time.
There are individual memories too, of course, and personal ones, intimately attached to faces and names and countries, and all of these places are invested with decades of these impressions, of happy, upturned faces into the sun and cautiously brushing hands and the uneven cracking of twigs underfoot, and sometimes I think the campus must be so, so heavy under their accumulated weight, and yet simultaneously, light with emotion and the promise of the Pacific ocean.
My first look at the place I would count two years in. I have never learnt to call it home, however, and I always used to look askance at people who would say I'm going home when they really meant their house/dorm. It's not a comment on my attachment to Pearson as much as a reflection of my attitude towards the word; in general, I'm more inclined to say that I'm in Singapore now rather than I'm at home. At the same time, Pearson wasn't an idyll for me, and my recollections of it, as filtered through nostalgia as they inevitably are now, are as much bitter as they are sweet, and I suspect the sweetness came later than sooner, and even then, it could never be described as saccharine.
Still, two years must count for something.
Deer! Enough said. I am so charmed by deer, but they are more graceful in fiction.
The director's residence and the director's lawn. I associate this with MCL primarily because I have only generally been there for house BBQ dinners and house meetings, and some farewell events. There is a proper grill here. That is really all I have to say about this, or from this angle, at least.
This is the view from the director's lawn. Positively stunning, especially under the sun's loving eye.
I find the floating building quite fascinating, architecturally. It is also the setting of my favorite class, Philosophy, and the setting of my favorite activity, kayaking. This is one path down to it. How many times have I paused here and just stared, almost uncomprehendingly, at the sheer wonder of the view laid out in front of me? In case the name has not tipped you off, the building floats. Other great things about the building: a couple of grouchy Canadian geese roost in that trolley of plants right next to the ground level walkway. Otters sometimes climb up and frolic amidst the idly swaying sailboats or float lazily on their backs in the water. I saw a rabid raccoon fall or skitter his way clumsily down a tree near the water's edge, once.
Kayaking launched from the metal platoon there in the photo, and after an hour-long kayak trip out, getting out of the kayak onto the high platform was always a task gingerly executed as all your thigh muscles protested the sudden stretch. It was harder still in the race kayak, of course, as you couldn't brace yourself on the boat to hoist yourself up or you'll tip right over, and what an ignoble capsize that would be!
In my first year, this was a thought that often occurred to me: I have never seen this shade of blue before. One of my first and sharpest memories about the bay, unfortunately, is the helplessly naive thought during orientation week that hey, the water is this blue, it can't be cold, can it?
My buddy took me to do a bay jump (where, as the name suggest, you jump into the freaking bay) on the first day of orientation week, the first day I arrived, and I had the shock of my life (then; other things that happened during my two years later surpassed it in shock value) when I hit the 9 deg C waters. The cold was exacerbated by my (in hindsight, ridiculous) expectation that it would be summery and warm.
I suppose the water can't be too warm, though. Otherwise, the students would spend most afternoons swimming around in it, especially when it looked this inviting.
I have no words for this photo. Then again, I don't think this photo needs any.
This dock was the second go-to place in the sun, after East House lawn, because the sea breeze was cold. But sailing launched along this dock every week (that phrase unfortunately gives the wrong impression that I showed up for sailing every week) and the sailing session on Friday had the curious luck of always being sunny, while the Thursday session will experience the epitome of cloudiness.
I remember lying here with other Pearsonites throughout my two years, faces shielded from the sun even as the rest of our bodies soaked it up, and talking about all manners of things and relishing the rising and dipping of the dock whenever a boat surged past. Sometimes, the lounging took place atop one of the docked keelboats, too. Mostly, the thought running through our heads would be, is there a more beautiful place in the world? I don't know the answer to that question yet.

Earlier this afternoon, online retailer Two Peas in a Bucket announced that they are closing down effective July 10th.
All sales on the site are final effective immediately. Gift certificates may only be redeemed through July 4th, 2014 11:59:59 p.m. CST. Returns and price adjustments are no longer being accepted.
Access to classes, workshops, bookmarks and gallery items will cease when Two Peas closes for good on July 10th. Peamail will also be available through that date. Access to posting on the company's message boards has already closed, although they seem to be available for viewing.
At the same time as the company announced the closure of its operations, it also announced the immediate closure of its affiliate program. The company was a pioneer in affiliate marketing in the scrapbooking industry, which is now a widespread practice.
Wisconsin-based Two Peas In A Bucket was formed in 1999 by Jeffrey and Kristina White. The Whites were a continuous presence at Two Peas, although it changed hands several times while under their leadership. In May 2006, the Whites sold the company to Canadian media company Kaboose, Inc. for a reported $600,000 in cash plus additional considerations. A little over two years later, in Sept. 2008, Kaboose sold Two Peas to Leisure Arts (terms not disclosed). In 2012, the company returned to the apparent ownership of the Whites through a Delaware-based LLC called It's Like This LLC.
Two Peas' financial difficulties have been apparent for some time to industry watchers. Lack of a steady stream of new product had been noticeable in the store for some time. Most vendors were no longer extending them credit, and as a result the company was only ordering small quantities of inventory (causing fast sellouts), and was sticking mostly to ordering paper and largely skipping more expensive SKUs such as embellishments and stamps. A few months ago, Two Peas began limiting their shipping options on orders containing 12×12 paper to USPS Priority Mail, which provides free boxes for items that size. The company's LLC registrations in both Delaware and Wisconsin also expired months ago.
One bright light in the company's final months has been its stellar signature offerings of embellishments (especially flair) and stamps,which were clean and simple and with a sassy edge that set them apart. The revamped digital store, once the industry leader in the early days on digital scrapbooking, had become home again to several quality designers after falling on hard times for awhile. The company has also been offering popular online classes with quality instructors like Shimelle Laine (who goes by Glitter Girl on the site) and Jen Gallacher.
Two Peas in a Bucket has been a presence in the industry for more than just its retail operation. Being a member of its "Garden Girls" design team was a much-coveted career stepping stone for industry designers. The team's list of alumni reads like a who's who of designers in the industry today: Ali Edwards, Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner, Rhonna Farrer, Marah Johnson, Elizabether Kartchner, and Amy Tan – to name just a few. The current team included Jen Gallacher, Shimelle Laine, Celine Navarro, Marcy Penner, Jennifer Kinkade, Jill Sprott, L Craigie, Lisa Dickinson, Melanie Blackburn, Nancy Damiano, Paige Evans, Stephanie Bryan, and Wilna Furstenberg.
The company also influenced the shape of today's industry via its forums, especially the Pub board that served an audience of members who were trying to build careers of some kind in the industry – mostly as designers. The talent incubated in that board in its heyday are now many of the industry's stars and business owners. Relationships were formed, both business and personal, that now extend to far outside of an internet forum.
For much of scrapbooking's early days and heyday, Two Peas and Scrapbook.com were viewed as the twin pillars of online retail in the space. A representative for Scrapbook.com had this to say about the closure of their long-time rival:
Scrapbook.com was surprised and saddened to learn that Two Peas in a Bucket announced its closure. Two Peas in a Bucket was one of the pioneers in our industry and it did much to bring scrapbooking to crafters across the world. Specifically, its layout gallery documented the history and evolution of scrapbooking over a decade and a half and it's sad to hear it will be gone. We wish it were otherwise and we wish their founders and employees well.
On a personal note I would like to say that I will be forever grateful to Two Peas, and especially the Pub Board community, for the encouragement I found there while in the early days of building what became Scrapbook Update, and for the friendship that I found there.

Bluefish watch: Burroughs makes return from injury
Bluefish watch
SLOW AND STEADY: Manager Willie Upshaw liked the look of the Bluefish lineup Saturday with Sean Burroughs batting second. It had been a long time since Burroughs had been healthy enough to play, so the look was refreshing.
Burroughs had missed the previous 43 games because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder and a subluxion of the left biceps tendon. He was 0-for-4 and had one assist at third base in a 3-0 win Saturday over the Camden Riversharks.
"I don't know if I'm 100 percent yet, but I'm good enough to play," Burroughs said. "So we're kind of just watching it and just going to keep staying on top of things. It felt good though to be back out there. I feel like I bounced back pretty well. It's a little sore, but good soreness. Not any pain. So that's a good start."
Burroughs, who said he sustained the injury performing one-handed swings with his 34-inch bat, had not played since being forced to leave the game in the second inning at Somerset June 23. Prior to this stretch, he had not played since June 6, missing 14 games.
"We're just going to go at a pace where he can play and heal at the same time and get stronger," Upshaw said. "He had a lot of weakness. So it's going to break down every day and then as time goes on it should get stronger and break down less and less each time he plays."
Burroughs is hitting .322 with nine doubles, one home run, 16 RBIs and 17 runs scored in 39 games. He was not in the lineup Sunday against the Riversharks. However, he did spend time in the weight room before the game.
"I think we're going to have to be smart with it," Burroughs said. "First day back, day off. A couple games, day off. And then kind of reevaluate it after a few weeks.
"As I am, I would like to be in there every single day and be pain-free and be 100 percent. But it's just not how it's going right now.''
UP NEXT: Tonight vs. Camden, 7:05. RHP Wes Torrez (4-2, 3.56) vs. RHP Tomo Ohka (5-9, 5.12).

What was wrong?
A lot of code cruft exists to support versions of Python before 3.5. It complicates the implementation, and requires more time to test.
How can it be fixed?
In v4, as part of dropping support for Python 2 and Python <=3.4, we can remove this cruft. Also, let's drop test environments for python 2.7 and 3.4, and add one for 3.6.
Remove Python 2.7 and 3.4 tests
Add Python 3.6 test environment

Trail, Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation Highlight Thursday at the Congress
NSBA members continue to work their way through the 2015 Congress show schedule, and found a marathon day of Trail, Hunter Under Saddle and Equitation classes in the Celeste Center Thursday.
Tops in Trail
Exhibitors showing in Senior Trail began with the first horse in the draw at 8:00 a.m. and didn't find out who the winner was until about 3:30 p.m. after the last of the 152 entries worked the pattern.
Whitney Lagace navigated Range To A Te to a high score of 240.5 to hold the top spot on the course for owner Isabel Scobie. "We went about 15th in the draw, so it was a very long wait," Lagace said. "Terry (Cross) had me worried, because he was the last horse on the course and scored 240, and almost beat us. It was hard to wait to see how it came out."
Lagace catch-rode the nine year old red roan Open Range gelding for trainer Jessica Ross. "He just has so much expression and with his big white face, you really can't miss him," Ross said. "He always shows with a lot of style. He thinks he's a person. He will look at you as if he understands what you're saying."
Known as Troy, the gelding was reserve champion in Senior Trail at the NSBA World Championship Show. "Jessica does a great job preparing him, and I've really just ridden him three times – at the NSBA World Show, here at the Congress and at a show in Connecticut earlier this year," Lagace said. "He's so much fun to show. Jessica has done a fabulous job with him, and Lisa Farrell did a great job putting the foundation on him."

Thank you to everyone that participated in the SWALLT/NWALL joint conference hosted by NWALL at the University of Washington Language Learning Center this past April. We are planning for the next SWALLT conference in the Spring of 2020 somewhere in southern California. Meanwhile we urge everyone to travel up to the Yamada Language Center at the U. of Oregon in the summer of 2019 for the biannual IALLT conference.
Thank you for visiting the home page of SWALLT, a regional group of the International Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT) encompassing Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. Through this site, we hope to keep all past, present and prospective members informed and involved regarding news, events and activities in the field of language learning and technology. From one of our Past Presidents, Gus Leonard:
SWALLT is a volunteer organization dedicated to assisting those involved with any area of language learning and the use of technology. Many of our members supervise language or computer labs in addition to language teaching duties. Others of us provide technical support or are engaged in the development of technology-based language products. In a field where rapid change is the norm, it is important to have a resource to help with the constant questions technology brings. The members of SWALLT attempt to provide this resource to those who often find themselves being asked to manage and understand a growing number of technological products. We do this through bi-annual meetings, networking, and personal contact. I invite you to join with us and help make a stronger organization by sharing your experience and questions with, what I believe to be, a very friendly and helpful group of colleagues.

We are starting a series on graduating seniors that have spent a great deal of time in the shop. Some of these students have spent what equals 7-9 class periods in this class and have done amazing things and grown tremendously. These students exemplify the ideals of this program and I get sad every year that I lose these students.
- What made you want to join this class?
A guy came around to the middle schools when we were choosing schools and I heard about the shop class.
- How long have you been taking manufacturing classes?
4 years, two class periods each year
- What types of projects have you done over the last few years?
Welding car parts and metal sculptures
- What are your plans for the next few years?
Find a manufacturing job. I am also looking into metallurgy at EVCC.
- How has this class prepared you for your future?
This class taught me everything I need to know to prepare me for my plans.
- What has been your favorite part of being in this class?
I like the metal working equipment. The freedom to choose specialties.
- If you had one more year in the shop, what would you make or learn?
I would want to learn and spend some time on the CNC machine.
- Do you have any advice for our younger shop students?
This is a great place to get training and skills for jobs.
Here is a selection of Joey's work

Our elders have always bugged us with what we want to do in our future. They have been a constant part of each and everything in our life. They are the best at comparing their life with ours. They constantly tell us that we would only understand their torment when we have kids.
The torment part may be true, but sometimes these elders go out of their way to thrust their wishes on their young ones. If you have been on the receiving end of such thrusting or comparison or dialogues, then you would relate to these dialogues:
- When We Were Your Age:
Me:*cleans house*replaces bedsheets*rolls round rotis*paints grandma's toenails*
Ma: Hum tumhare jitne the tab hum roller coaster banate the
— placentaur (@4ngery) June 5, 2015
This is like the pet dialogue of all the parents. When we were your age, we did this, we did that!
- #DadStories:
Q. What type of stories do dads tell?
A. Jab mein tumhari age katha
— Pranav (@pranavsapra) August 29, 2016
My dad says, when I was your age, I had 0% body fat! Stop having Maggi and the rest of the junk. In my time, these things weren't even there!
- Landline Calls:
Kids these days have it easy asking for BBM pins and whatsapp. Humne toh landline par call karke unke papa se bhi baatein kari hain.
— dorku (@Dorkstar) June 3, 2012
It is simple now. All we need is a WhatsApp Number or an Instagram Handle! BBM is old as well!
- Logic Took a Big Hit Today:
Uncle has a timeline, which is six years faster than normal human beings. He is a super human.
- Distractions of Today:
Can't imagine how kids study these days. Twitter YouTube Netflix. The only distraction back then was your friends calling u to play cricket
— Anurag Verma (@kitAnurag) April 3, 2017
Anurag is right! Not just Netflix, there are many other online video streaming portals in today's world and they are awesome and really distracting.
- Future Music:
Year 2056:
"Aaj kal ke bachche don't know what music is. Gaane toh humaare time me hote the. Chaar botal vodka, kaam mera roz ka. Deep."
— Akshar (@AksharPathak) September 9, 2014
Currently, our elders use the same dialogue on us. They say that songs in their time had lyrics and music. The current music is just noise. May be we will feel the same for future songs.
- Uber, Ola and the Rest of the Cab Companies:
– Don't get in strangers' cars
– Don't meet ppl from internet
– Literally summon strangers from internet to get in their car
— Carol Nichols (@Carols10cents) July 2, 2016
That's absolutely true!
Generations change and so do the elders, but the dialogues remain the same. Hope this brought back some of your childhood memories.

School Values
Our Mission Statement:
At St James CE Academy we all aspire to : Enjoy, Achieve, Excel
Our Aims:
At our school we expect everybody to:
Show respect
Work together
Try your best
Never give up
Show friendship
Be fair
Each half term, a value is introduced through Collective Worship on a three year rolling program. There are eighteen values altogether: Courage, Trust, Creativity, Justice, Forgiveness, Peace, Humility, Truth, Generosity, Thankfulness, Compassion, Hope, Friendship, Service, Reverence, Wisdom, Endurance and Creation.
We encourage the children at all times to reflect on how the values impact on the way they show and gain respect in their everyday lives. We believe these values enable the school to demonstrate its Christian distinctiveness but also promote the importance of understanding and appreciating other cultures and religions.

Arkansas Blog's David Ramsey has the story of what is certain to be high up on the list of the nuttiest hack jobs ever: Arkansas Democrat Gazette columnist Dana Kelley thinks that a) the Confederate battle flag has "historical merit" other than being a symbol of white supremacy, and b) hooded sweatshirts are symbols of violence and anybody wearing such a piece of clothing should be publicly shamed. Ramsey:
"Dana Kelley thinks that hoodies are a symbol of violence, and this is equivalent to the symbolism inherent in the Confederate battle flag. Or something. It's no easy task to parse such a bitterly confused diatribe. … Kelley seems a bit bummed that "many people of the politically liberal persuasion" believe that "regardless of what historical merit or significance a Confederate battle flag might hold, they often argue that it is often viewed as a symbol of slavery, and that's reason enough for polite people not to display it.""
The fact that the confederate flag was viewed as a symbol of slavery, by the secessionists who followed it as well as by their opponents and victims, apparently is not, in Kelley's view, "reason enough for polite people not to display it". Hoodies, on the other hand… don't start me on hoodies! (Getting up to put on my hoodie – like Ramsey, I like it warm and cosy.) Remember that Travyon Martin was wearing a hoodie while legally going about his business, bothering nobody, threatening nobody, stealing nothing, hurting nobody, killing nobody. Isn't the fact that Travyon, while wearing a hoodie, breaking no laws and bothering nobody, was shot and killed by a lawless white supremacist, isn't that proof that hoodies are symbols of violence and lawlessness?
There in a single short column go decency, logic, and common sense. Indeed there goes basic human decency. Kelley's writing is jumbled and illogic but he sure thinks he belongs to the Master Race and he bitterly resents us for denying him his supremacist fantasy.

Project #1: The Website (Completed)
Creating a website can be a daunting task, especially if I you dabble with a lot of things. It also is a great opportunity to reflect back on your life and find the things that matter to you the most. The last one week, I dug deep within myself and my various online accounts to be reminded of my past, some of which I seemed to have forgotten.
First step to get this project done was to figure out what the scope of the website was. I had many sources for the basic input into the website - Previous Google Sites (which I had used as a wiki to collect data), Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. I chose LinkedIn as it was the most structured of the 4 and it was easy to get out data.
Next step: A quick mind map on things that mattered to me in the recent past.
Finally, I needed to make a choice for a platform. A free blog at BlogSpot or Wordpress was out of question as I had my own domain name and I wanted to stick with it. I didn't want the blog element to be big. So getting a hosted wordpress and heavily modifying it was out of question. I wanted something that wasn't time consuming, was responsive and let me work on my content.
Almost done…

The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) aims to bring transparency and accountability in the sector.
The rules will be applicable for five Union territories — Andaman & Nicobar, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep and Chandigarh. The state governments of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat are in the process of formulating rules. Other states are likely to soon follow suit.
As per the provisions of the RERA, 2016, the regulatory authorities will have to be put in place by April 30, 2017, a day before the full Act is brought into effect.
Let's decode it for you:
If you are a homebuyer, here's what you should know:
►Buyers can demand refund or compensation at an interest rate of the SBI's marginal cost of lending rate (MCLR) plus 2% (effectively around 11%)
► Builder will have to repay the amount within 45 days of a claim
►Buyer will also have to pay the interest at the same rate (MCLR+ 2%) on any dues raised by developers, which is much lower than 15% to 18% interest rate charged by developers for delayed payments.
► The builder can withdraw amount from a special account only in proportion to the percentage of completion of the project
► No discrimination in sale of properties on any grounds
► Faster resolution of complaints as adjudicating officers, real estate authorities and appellate tribunals will have to dispose of complaints within 60 days
► RERA bring transparency as the builder will have to reveal information about everything related to project and company
If you are a builder, this is how the RERA impacts you:
► Builder will have to register the project with regulatory authority
► Developer will have to take insurance for the project
► Will have to deposit 70% of the funds collected into a separate bank account within three months of applying for registration
► Specify the scheduled completion date while registering the project
► Declare size of the apartment based on carpet area even if it was earlier sold on any other basis
► Declare information about number of open and closed parking areas
► Upload all information on website regarding number and type of apartments or plots, garages booked, status of the project with photographs floor-wise, status of construction of internal infrastructure and common areas with photos
► Provide information about status of approvals received and expected date of receipt, modifications in sanctioned plans and specifications approved by the competent authority within 15 days of expiry of each quarter
► Promoters of the real estate firm will have to submit authenticated copy of PAN card, annual report comprising audited profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow statement and auditors report of the promoter for the three preceding years, authenticated copy of legal title deed, copy of collaboration agreement if the promoter is not the owner of the plot during registration of projects
► As a relief, builders now don't need to disclose income-tax returns as proposed earlier
► Fee for registration of projects and real estate agents with regulatory authorities reduced by half

On Drawing | Corresponding with Yourself
In a letter to my dear friend Christopher I found myself sharing, at length, my motivations for revisiting drawing as part of my studio practice.
As I am nudging my career in a direction that feels good to me, I am realising that drawing will be central to my success. The very best and most successful clothing and costume designers in film, theatre, fashion, art, whatever - they all draw very beautifully. And as a tool, drawing holds such power. With a few simple tools and some paper an artist can share his vision and fully realize a range of ideas, feelings, and creative aspirations without spending a dollar or sewing a stitch.
And now, months later I have been working hard to maintain that rhythm by drawing daily if possible – and as often as I can from a live model. The pleasures of a more liberated studio practice are great. Having the time and space for this sort of thing sets my mind free and gives me a reason to continue studying the body and consequently finding new ways to decorate it – cover it – celebrate it.
Drawing has always been central to me and how I work. When I can't say it, I can draw it. And if you ask my mother her point of view on this one, I know she would be quick to say that I "was born with a red crayon in my hand." She's right, I think I was.
By the time I made my way into undergraduate art school, I made a point of drawing as often as I possibly could. I loaded my schedule with every drawing class available, and when I wasn't in class I would head back into the studio to draw more. Figure drawing in particular played – and continues to play a huge role in how I work.
For the past many years as I devoted myself to developing and building my menswear label, I found the time I was able to devote to drawing became less and less. At best I would keep a sketchbook – and even those ran dry for a period while I juggled fabric orders, wrangled patterns, coordinated events, and most importantly sold clothes. Each of those things has its merit and surely brought wonderful things into my life – but ultimately I still feel there is very little that is quite as satisfying and drawing.
My dear friend and truly skilled artist Kimberly Trowbridge had reminded me not so long ago that drawing is perhaps the most inherently honest thing we can do. With drawing there is no fooling. Such a simple equation – our hands, a drawing tool, and a piece of paper – yield incredibly pure results. We can't fake it and we need not bother to try, because what comes of the process of drawing is so beautifully true to what we are seeing and how we are feeling that each and every mark should be celebrated and revered.
I'm now drawing two or three nights a week, and my sketchbooks fill quickly in the hours between. By giving myself permission (an invaluable thing that all too often we seem to take from ourselves) I feel the freedom to draw without restraint and without edit. I use affordable papers and simple tools because the drawings that come from it all are not what this is about – I'm investing in the process of drawing and the work happens there. The drawing is a document of it all.

Posted by Tom Hartmann in Debt is a drag 3 Comments
What's the best way to get debt-free?
The two strategies that often come up for repaying debts are either a debt "snowball" or an "avalanche". The difference between the two depends on what you pay back first: the debt with the smallest balance or the debt with the highest interest rate. Which should you choose?
Debt Snowball
With a debt snowball, you knock out the smallest debt first, move on to the next smallest, and keep going until you've got the momentum of a snowball rolling downhill, eventually taking them all out. There are two advantages to this: you get the boost of seeing one of your debts disappear sooner, and that sense of progress propels you towards eliminating the next one and so forth.
Much about money depends on how we think about it, and getting on a roll with a debt snowball can really work for some people. And since some of the small debts may be to family or friends, paying those back early can benefit those relationships, too.
Debt Avalanche
A debt avalanche, on the other hand, is where you first take out the debt that's costing you the most. You start with the highest-interest debt first, like a credit card or a car loan, and when that's taken care of, move on to the one with the next-highest interest rate. Rinse and repeat.
Financially speaking, the avalanche is a quicker way out of debt, since we can save more on interest. It's the most efficient way to repay.
Example Comparison
For example, let's say you had these two debts:
Car loan: $6,000 at 9.95%
Credit card: $12,000 at 19.95%
If you had extra money, which would you pay down first? I can see how tackling that car loan would seem less daunting.
If we carried on with just the minimum payments on these, it would take six and a half years to get debt-free and cost us $12,347 just in interest. Ouch. (It's definitely worth paying more than the minimum!)
So let's say we found $50 extra a month in our budget to pay down debt. Using Sorted's debt calculator, we can calculate how much interest we would save and how much quicker we could be debt-free.
With the debt snowball – putting that $50 towards paying the car loan first and then the credit card – we would be debt-free a year and two months faster (so after four years four months) and pay $2,342 less in interest. Cool.
How about the avalanche? We would start with the credit card instead because it has the highest interest rate. Then we would move on to the car loan. We would be debt-free two months sooner than the snowball (so after four years two months) and more importantly save another $660 in interest. Even cooler.
So in terms of destroying debt, I'd rather have an avalanche on my side. But in many cases it doesn't make a huge difference in terms of time and interest saved. And who knows? You may find that the psychological advantages of a debt snowball are what it takes to motivate you.
And let's face it, without the motivation to get rid of debt that's dragging us down and keeping us from getting ahead, we don't even stand a snowball's chance.
The real story here, beyond the snowballs and avalanches, is that putting in the extra money each month is what makes the most difference to becoming debt-free.

I have $18,000 home loans, $7,500 credit card debts- what to do.I am paying them off but what a squeeze !(still working on minimum wage.)

Excellent comment, anonymous, thanks for that.

changes depending on size of debts.
Definintely have to ask yourself - why would someone who has a $12,000 credit card debt, have a car with only $6,000 owing? In such a case a creditcard transfer to a zero interest competitor would be a better deal, then pay off the car. Or debt consolidate into a mortgage, or even Personal Loan as the CC is so high.
Why is the greatest interest, got the highest balance? poor money management in the first place... often due to shortterm money emergencies.
In which case attempting to pay down the credit card quickly is a complete waste of time.
Try re working your example with more realistic figures. Say $3000 in CC, and $5000 owing on the car, and a $1000 Personal Loan.
It is more progressive for the majority of people to pay off the Personal Loan first, because they can't redraw the payments.
If they try to avalanche off the CC first, it will just sit there and bounce up and down then explode on the 4th month.
'cause you didn't bother explaining the 3 month rule did you.
One main thing is not to pay off zero (or rates under 3%) quickly; and not to add more of those under all highly interest rates are cleared. (ie have to pay off the CC & PLoan before getting another 0%, because of loss of ability to repay principal)

Fix a Leak Week
March 2014 — Water. We need it to survive, and future generations are depending on us to take smart steps now that will ensure this precious resource does not dry up.
The health care industry uses water for domestic functions like sinks, but also for process functions like cooling and sterile processing. At Virginia Mason, we spent more than a million dollars a year on water and sewer bills at the Seattle campus alone in 2013. In an effort to reduce our water usage, we partnered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to celebrate annual "Fix a Leak Week" March 17-23. During this week, we asked team members to inspect their work area for water leaks and drips. If they spot a leak, they reported it to Engineering.
When scanning for leaks, our employees look for the following tell-tale signs:
- Faucets that leak, drip, or won't shut off all the way
- Showers that leak, drip, or won't shut off all the way
- Toilets that are noisy or run too long after you flush
Better never stops when it comes to Virginia Mason and EnviroMason. When our team members are working together to identify and fix leaks, we support Virginia Mason's strong economics, elimination of waste and commitment to quality. At the same time, we take less water from the plants and animals in local watersheds, preserving their habitat for the benefit of ourselves, our patients and for future generations.
For more information on Fix a Leak Week and how you can conserve at home, visit the EPA's Water Sense website.

Released: 01/04/2013
eISBN: 9781783069750
Format: eBook
Every day in the UK, 17 babies are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Behind each one is a family rocked to the foundations by the death of their baby.
Many parents who have suffered such a terrible tragedy do go on to have more children - but this brings with it a mixture of emotions: relief, happiness, anxiety...even fear. It is a time of nervous expectation, with some parents saying they 'held their breath' for nine months.
How I Came To Hold You tells the powerful real-life stories of seventeen families, each of whom has experienced the heartbreaking death of their child and then taken the step of becoming pregnant again. Their inspirational stories give a unique insight into the hearts and minds of these parents as they recollect the darkest days of their lives, how they came to the decision to try for another baby, and the challenges and emotions they experienced when expecting once again.
These stories will hopefully provide other parents embarking on a pregnancy after the death of their baby with advice, support, inspiration and encouragement.
Every copy sold raises valuable funds for Sands - the stillbirth and neonatal death charity - which works tirelessly to support bereaved parents, to improve the care that parents and their families receive following the death of their baby, and promote and fund research that could help to reduce the loss of babies' lives.

Read: 9 August, 2017
The central argument of the book is that, while there were some periods of actual persecution of Christians in the early centuries, they were very few. Most of the martyrdom accounts we have are unsubstantiated, or refer to prosecution (where Christians were breaking laws that were not drawn or enforced with Christians specifically in mind).
And this matters because it is the narrative of martyrdom that excuses horrifically callous behaviour. Specifically, the fudging between disagreement and persecution. If Christians are always and have always been under attack from worldly forces, and people wanting to get gay-married is an attack on Christianity, then the Christian fight against gay marriage becomes a fight of self-defence.
I would also add, though Moss doesn't, that there is also a fudging between chosen martyrdom and imposed martyrdom. Part of the veneration of martyrs also promises greater heavenly reward for greater earthly suffering, which is the logic used by people like Mother Teresa in denying palliative care to terminal patients. By increasing their suffering in their last days – without their consent (informed or otherwise) – Mother Teresa sought to purify their souls.
The book does have some weaker moments, such as when Moss hitches much of her argument against the reality of persecution in the earliest period on the fact that the group in question was not yet called Christians (largely around p.130-134). Which is just an argument from semantics, and not particularly useful.
But for the most part, Moss constructs her arguments well, She also strikes a good balance between being readable and being informative.
I think that much of this book will appeal to the "New Atheist" types, who will make much of the occasional 'gotcha' sound bites. I also think it's a valuable (though perhaps uncomfortable) read for Christians who currently believe that early Christians were persecuted, especially if they believe that this persecution has been ongoing. This book won't hold any hands, though, so I suspect that most readers from this group will simply dismiss it.

Since its inception, in 1979, the Court Officer's Benevolent Association of Nassau County (COBANC) has had an interesting life. As a union we have had an incredible impact on worker's rights, working conditions and compensation..
Not that it has been without controversy. With many more job titles and levels of supervision than most unions and many Executive Board members taking a strong leadership role when it was in the members best interests – and sometimes when THEY THOUGHT it was in the member's best interest.
It was the reason for many great debates – from the membership and from the Executive Board. Many ended in one side getting the other side to see their point. Some ended with one side using the Constitution to impose their agenda.
But, we're a 35 year work in process and we're always evolving and improving:
- We started the Geographic pay lawsuit that many downstate unions now enjoy
- We were a court union that voted down a contract by one vote. We then were offered a better contract just a few months later.
- We picketed and finally got OCA to come to the table after years of ignoring us.
- We got them to shut down the water fountains and provide bottled water when lead was discovered in the pipes.
- Heart and Body scans has SAVED LIVES!
- We fought and won the "parking lot battle" when the county Executive tried to sell the Supreme Court south parking lot. We have had guaranteed free adjacent parking ever since.
- Our annual benefits usually exceed the cost of annual dues
- Twice now we have been successful in joining with other unions to help defeat bad contracts.
We have done so much more. I'm calling on our COBANC "historians" to submit other examples of great moments in COBANC history.
