Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.

James 4:11-12 KJV
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Revisiting Star Trek TNG: Time Squared
James looks back at TNG's first real time travel episode...
This review contains spoilers.
2.13 Time Squared
The episode begins with Riker serving a meal for some of his fellow senior officers, when suddenly Picard summons them to the bridge. They've found a shuttlecraft floating in space. A Federation shuttlecraft!
With no mothership to be found, they take the shuttlecraft on board and slowly (rather too slowly) come to the realisation that it's one of the Enterprise's own – only their version is still in shuttlebay already! Things get even more confusing when they open the craft to discover an unconscious and barely-alive duplicate of Captain Picard!
The other Picard is taken to sickbay while Data and Geordi try to figure out where the shuttle came from. Although the usual power doesn't seem to work, they discover that by inverting the power they can reactivate the computers. As a result, they learn that it's from 6 hours in the future! Realising that the other Picard is from the future, Pulaski and Picard try to revive him, but for some reason the stimulants send him deeper into a coma, almost killing him.
Picard calls a meeting, and Data and Geordi display the logs they've recovered from the shuttle, which show the Enterprise exploding while trapped in a giant vortex. Picard is horrified at the idea that he might leave the ship, and resolves to avoid doing so. After discussing their options, the crew decides that they're probably caught in some kind of predestination paradox and decide to just carry on as normal while they wait for something to happen.
Pulaski eventually manages to wake the future-Picard, but he's confused and incoherent, although that doesn't stop regular-Picard from screaming in his face demanding answers, to no avail. Pulaski explains that as he gets closer to his "own" time he'll become more coherent because his body clock will align. Sounds like science to me.
As Riker and Picard discuss the philosophy of the circumstances, the Enterprise suddenly finds itself trapped in a vortex, with no warning! A probe they send into the centre is quickly destroyed. With the engines at maximum to prevent them being sucked deeper into the vortex, the crew attempts to figure out how to escape. Suddenly, scanning beams start to hit both Picards. Planning to buy time for the Enterprise, Picard suggests he leave the ship in a shuttlecraft. Hmm. Why does that sound familiar?
Realising that this was the mistake that future-Picard make, regular-Picard releases him from sickbay only to find him set on the same path he was on – attempting to leave the ship in a shuttle. Apparently the Vortex things he's the Enterprise's "brain" and leaving the ship might distract it long enough for the ship to escape. Knowing how that turns out, Picard's having none of it so he shoots his double in the chest with a phaser and runs off, leaving a traumatised O'Brien to watch over the corpse.
On the bridge, Picard insists they do the opposite of what his duplicate did and fly directly into the vortex. For some reason this works, and the Enterprise emerges back in normal space. Why? Who knows!? The duplicate Picard and Shuttle disappear, convenient, and Picard and Riker have one final chat about the situation. Picard mentions that they'll probably never know what was going on. And he's right, because they never will.
TNG WTF: I can't help wondering why Picard felt it necessary to shoot and apparently kill his doppelganger. True, the body disappeared when the time loop was resolved, but he had no idea that'd happen. Couldn't he have just put him in the brig or something? "The cycle must end!" isn't exactly strong justification.
TNG LOL: The whole opening scene with Riker serving an "omelette" which looks more like scrambled eggs to Worf, Geordi, Data and Pulaski is absolute gold, especially when Worf stops scoffing his down in front of his disgusted colleagues just long enough to deliver the terse verdict of "delicious". These are the moments of inter-character chemistry that the latter Star Trek series really lacked. It contributes absolutely nothing to the plot, but these glimpses of what the crew do in their down time are invariably some of the best scenes in any episode.
Time Until Meeting: 18:20. It comes late in the episode, but it gets double points for being called on-screen. "Are you alright, Captain?" says Pulaski, as they look over his traumatised duplicate. "I want a Staff Meeting in five minutes." says Picard. Brilliant.
Captain's Log: It's taken a surprisingly long time for TNG to get to its first actual time-travel episode (unless you count "We'll Always Have Paris", which I don't) especially when you consider that the latter years of TNG and its spin-offs were dogged by time-travel plots. This one really justifies itself by treating time travel as something genuinely uncanny, rather than an excuse to dress up in fancy clothes and affect an accent.
It's definitely a tense episode, and both Stewart's acting and the episode's unusually creepy score really sell the idea that this is an unnerving situation. It's great seeing the normally unflappable Picard being genuinely rattled, and his crew similarly thrown because of it.
It's a shame that the final act is a bit of a mess (future-Picard seems to have no free will because of… reasons…, and the Enterprise manages to escape the anomaly because of… more reasons…) because up until the point where Picard starts getting hit with an energy beam it's really tense stuff. The distorted image of Future-Riker in the shuttle bay just as the shuttle takes off is as creepy as TNG has managed to get so far. Not a perfect episode, but definitely a good one.
Watch or Skip? Watch. You don't want to miss Patrick Stewart demonstrating this amount of range.

Estimote Shrinks Its Beacons
Last year Estimote introduced chunky, plastic Bluetooth LE Beacons to enable smartphone connectivity in retail settings.
Now the company has shrunk the idea: offering much smaller, thinner Stickers that are designed to be more portable. These new devices also feature accelerometers and temperature sensors.
They are calling the category "nearables."
A developer's pack of 10 stickers is available for pre-order for $99; it comes with suggestions, and code for some sample applications, including tracking bicycles, pets, retail display items, and doors.
The company is promising to ship these tiny transmitters by late October.
An Affordable Desktop SLS 3D Printer on the Horizon?
Up until now, Selective Laser Sintering, or SLS, 3D printers have only been found in industrial settings, crunching on costly, high-end projects. They are that expensive, and that good.
But a trio of developers in Switzerland is planning to launch a crowdfunding campaign for a desktop SLS 3D printer, the Sintra, this fall, for around $5,300.
Make:'s digital fabrication editor, Anna Kaziunas France (@akaziuna), thinks this could be a MAJOR development.
Make: has the details.
MakerBot Filament Club
MakerBot has launched the MakerBot MakerClub, which enables members to save 10 percent on MakerBot filament.
Adafruit Named #1 Manufacturing Company in NYC by Inc.
Online hardware and electronics retailer Adafruit just got the news that it ranked #570 on the latest Inc. 5000, which tracks the "fastest-growing private companies in the U.S."
In NYC, where it is based, Adafruit was ranked #1 in Inc.'s hardware category.
Maker Data Illustrated
The Maker Movement
This infographic from The Grommet illustrates a number of datapoints that describe the maker movement.
The information is aimed not just at makers, but also at retailers, because a growing part of The Grommet's business is wholesale, providing maker-created products to store owners.
The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things has attracted plenty of attention from prognosticators, but this infographic, from the manufacturing services company Jabil, is unusually comprehensive, ranging from transportation, to sensors, to smart homes and smart cities.
The Wearable Market
The wearable band market grew 684% on a worldwide basis in the first half of 2014 compared with the first half of 2013, according to the latest device shipment estimates by industry research firm Canalys.
Canalys tracks wearable device shipments and segments the market into smart bands, which are capable of running third-party applications, and basic bands, which are not.
Despite the strong numbers, Canalys VP and Principal Analyst Chris Jones says that wearable band manufacturers are under pressure to keep consumers interested.
"The challenge all vendors face is keeping consumers engaged with the devices, 24 hours a day, seven days a week," he says.
Don't Let Crowdfunding Distract You from "Market Fit"
Crowdfunding is becoming a de facto milestone and financing hurdle for many startups that are planning a product. But entrepreneur Vijay Sundaram (@vijayssundaram) wants to remind everybody that crowdfunding success only measures how many and how much people will pay you to solve the problem — not whether you've actually solved it.
Sundaram warns that you shouldn't forget "market fit," which means figuring out exactly what the product will do, why people will want it, and use it, and how it will enable customers to do these jobs.
His advice: don't let the pursuit of crowdfunding success distract you from old-fashioned pre-product pursuits like feasibility studies, prototyping, studying users, running marketing tests, etc.
The good news is that it's not either/or, Sundaram writes. You can plan for crowdfunding and market fit at the same time.
Get Ready for Equity Crowdfunding
Equity crowdfunding is coming, eventually, when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stops dragging its feet.
That means that makers will have to decide which flavor of crowdfunding they want to offer: the traditional "reward-based" version favored by Kickstarter and Indiegogo, or an equity version where they offer a piece of their startup in return for a smallish investment.
The crowdfunding audience will also have to decide whether they want to back a project, or invest.
In fact, equity crowdfunding is already an option, if you are an "accredited" investor: that is, you make more than $200,000 a year (or $300,000 together with spouse), or have a net worth over $1 million (excluding the value of your primary home).
So what have we learned so far, based on this small sample?
The founders of an early equity crowdfunding firm, FundersClub, share their experiences in an interview with the guys at First Round Capital, and they offer their advice to startups that are considering crowdfunding.
Much of what they say is biased in favor of the equity model, naturally, but there's also lots of background and wisdom about crowdfunding and the startup world in general, such as, "Exceptional execution is usually the driver of startup success today, not unique ideas."
Nomiku's Mission to Manufacture in America
Two years ago, the sous vide cooker Nomiku splashed on the food scene with a spectacular Kickstarter campaign, raising more than half a million dollars. Right now, in the midst of campaign #2, for an improved, wi-fi-enabled version, they are on track to triple their $200k campaign goal, surpassing their earlier crowdfunding success.
But version #2 is also interesting and significant because the team has committed to manufacturing it in the U.S., not China — where the original model was made.
And you can follow along at home, via a series in Make: that will document Nomiku's journey into manufacturing in America through the conversations of the founding team: Lisa, Abe, and Bam. The first installment just went live; read it here.
10 Crowdfunding Projects Worth Considering
Speaking of crowdfunding, Make: has ten crowdfunding projects for you to consider before they are over.
Nomiku (see previous item) is one of them, so you already know about that. But there are nine more you may not have heard of, like maybe the T100 Thruster?
It's an efficient, rugged, affordable underwater thruster to propel the future of marine robotics and ocean exploration.
Startup Spotlight: World Maker Faire New York
One of our favorite tents at last spring's Maker Faire Bay Area was the one that was chock full o' startups.
So we're pleased to report that World Maker Faire New York (happening September 20 and 21, btw) will host a similar tent. To celebrate, we've been featuring previews of some of the young companies that will be there. Here are three.
3D Hubs
3D Hubs facilitates transactions between 3D printer owners and people that want to make 3D prints.
Printer owners can join the Hubs listing in their city to offer 3D printing services in their neighborhood, and customers can locate printer owners to get stuff printed nearby.
The fast-growing network currently has around 7,000 3D printers connected in hundreds of cities around the world.
Carbon Origins
The Carbon Origins team at Maker Faire Bay Area 2014, showing off two alpha-prototypes of Apollo (the tiny gadget they are holding in their hands).
Imagine a really tiny Arduino board with wi-fi, Bluetooth, nine degrees of motion sensing, six degrees of environmental sensing, GPS, a data logger, an OLED display with a trackball for navigation, a powerful Arduino-compatible 32-bit microcontroller, and built-in power management. All that, and smaller than a flash drive. Derived from a rocket flight computer, that's Apollo: the world's smallest and most integrated embedded sensor and Internet of Things prototyping platform.
Apollo is designed to be an all-in-one tool for the next generation of hardware and software entrepreneurs. Carbon Origins is a startup aerospace company with the goal to democratize space exploration, by developing rapidly reusable and affordable rockets and spacecraft to take small-to-medium-sized payloads into space.
Catch Carbon Origins in the Innovation Showcase event at MakerCon.
The Mighty Mug
Mighty Mug is powered by the innovative and patented Smartgrip Technology. Simply place Mighty Mug down on your desk and it creates a powerful airlock which allows Mighty Mug to resist accidental knocks to help avoid spills.
When you lift Mighty Mug, the pressure is instantly normalized allowing the airlock to release and Mighty Mug to lift naturally. You need to try it to believe it, or at least check out some of the videos.
MakerCon Preview
Two more speakers have been confirmed for MakerCon, in New York, September 17 & 18, just days before World Maker Faire New York.
MakerCon, btw, is a conference by and for makers. MakerCon connects individuals at the forefront of the maker movement, focusing on the technologies, services ecosystem, manufacturing models, and funding trends that provide new ways of making things and getting them to market. The two new speakers:
Eric Klein
Eric is a partner at Lemnos Labs, the San Francisco hardware accelerator.
His passion is imagining and building delightful products. His experience includes founding startups, managing large teams in highly successful corporations, and angel investing. Eric previously enjoyed product roles at Nokia, Sun, Real Networks, Palm, and Apple. He is also an active angel investor, focused on consumer, media, and entertainment startups.
Eric is planning to talk about how makers should decide what ideas to pursue. His session will explore how to set up the right business structures, expectations, and prototyping time for your ideas.
Lauren Joseph
Lauren Joseph, posing with an actual grommet.
Lauren is the Director of Business Development for The Grommet, a launch platform for early-stage products.
The Grommet, which is mentioned a half-dozen items ago, gives makers a stage from which to tell their stories, connect with people who believe in supporting innovation, and springboard into brick and mortar retail.
Lauren plans to talk about how to launch your product from an interesting project to a market success. The maker movement is giving viability back to innovative products, and The Grommet serves as a platform to launch these designs into the market. She will cover the art of product launch, the economic impact of the maker movement, and the role that The Grommet can play in these dynamics.
Special note: MakerCon attendees have exclusive access to tour two iconic maker facilities: Underwriter Labs and Shapeways on Friday, September 19. So get your MakerCon tickets today and mark your calendars for these two tours on Friday!
Maker Pro Tool of the Week
LightBlue Bean
The LightBlue Bean Bluetooth LE Device is a microcontroller that can be programmed with no connection to your computer or phone. It can also be used with an app that detects the presence of the Bean.
The LightBlue Bean is Arduino compatible, meaning that you'll use the Arduino IDE to program your Bean. This low-cost microcontroller is powered by a small coin cell battery (just pull the battery tab to get started). It's also low-energy, so it can be powered virtually anywhere for long periods of time. The LightBlue Bean is now iBeacon compatible and has an accelerometer + temperature sensor on board.
Check out our blog post on the Bean here.
Buy it in the Maker Shed for $29.99.

In 1941, SS leaders developed a plan to use Soviet POWs as slave labourers in concentration camps. But the camps received far fewer Soviets than expected, while most of those who did arrive died quickly. Looking for replacements, Himmler ordered mass deportations of Jews instead, as the following message to Camp SS manager Richard Glücks shows. Systematic deportations to Auschwitz began in late March 1942. Initially, they brought fewer Jews than anticipated: by the end of June, some 16,000 had arrived from France and Slovakia (not Germany, as Himmler had thought). Because they were earmarked for slave labour, the SS did not murder them on arrival. Still, most died within months, due to illness and violence.
Since Russian prisoners of war are not expected in the immediate future I shall be sending a large number of Jews and Jewesses who are being emigrated [sic] from Germany to the camps. During the next four weeks prepare to receive 100,000 male Jews and up to 50,000 female Jews in the KL [concentration camps]. During the next few weeks the concentration camps will be assigned major economic tasks and commissions. SS-Gruppenführer Pohl will provide you with detailed instructions.

LONDON: Amid all the fervour at Old Trafford the action which mattered began in the Premier League with Emmanuel Adebayor striking the late winner with which Tottenham won 2-1 at Stoke to maintain their hopes of a Champions League slot.
Steven Nzonzi surprised Spurs with a goal after only three minutes but Clint Dempsey levelled on 35 and then the visitors were handed extra encouragement when Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam was sent off for a second yellow card, after fouling Jan Vertonghen, just after the interval.
They huffed and puffed and eventually Adebayor struck to follow up his goal-scoring, man-of-the-match display in Spurs' midweek draw at Chelsea.
Arsenal must beat new FA Cup-winners Wigan in North London on Tuesday to regain fourth place from their neighbours with one round of matches game remaining.
At the other end of the table Norwich and Newcastle are safe for another season after winning home and away respectively by 4-0 and 2-1 against West Bromwich and relegated Queens Park Rangers.
However Paolo Di Canio's Sunderland are still at risk after being held 1-1 at home by Southampton.
A late equaliser from Jason Puncheon earned a crucial point for the Saints. They are also safe, though it may depend on goal difference.
If Wigan win at Arsenal on Tuesday they can stay up by winning against Aston Villa next Sunday and sending Villa or Sunderland down.

Show the importance of public health, especially now!
With an inspiring campaign in Maastricht, Public Health students of Maastricht University (UM) have contributed to the launch of the global initiative 'This is Public Health' (TIPH). Their goal? To showcase what public health is and why it is so vitally important for promoting and protecting the health and wellbeing of our communities.
The students concerned are UM master students in 'Governance and Leadership in European Public Health'. Their programme director - and past President of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) - Kasia Czabanowska says this about the importance of public health: "Most of us rarely think about public health until a crisis happens which captures the attention but in fact public health professionals work every day to keep people safe by preventing diseases and injury. Now, more people than ever before would like to start their careers in this field and there are plenty of reasons from the simple to the profound why public health is important and well worth doing. Some of the world's biggest breakthroughs like vaccinations come from the public health field. Public health can change health for the better on a big scale."
Campaign tools
The diverse academic and cultural backgrounds of the master's students resulted in a variety of creative campaign outputs.
Central tool was the blue 'THIS IS PUBLIC HEALTH' campaign stickers, which were placed on various health-promoting products and projects. Such as a water supply tap in the city. This way they showed in what ways public health manifests itself in the local community.
The students also interviewed various public health professionals, researchers and policy makers to highlight the diverse range of projects happening in Maastricht. They processed these in an engaging campaign video, in which the students showcase the dynamic and exciting field of public health with humour and enthusiasm. Fanny Goel is one of the students who participated in the TIPH campaign: "Public health includes all areas related with health. As practically everything around a population impacts their health, the area of work for public health is virtually everything, everywhere and everyone. Public health professionals are needed at all levels to protect, prevent and promote population's health!"
The filming overlapped with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, which offered a unique opportunity to demonstrate the importance of implementing public health measures to keep people safe during these times.
"The goal of TIPH is to raise awareness about the field of public health and the range of professions within the field. TIPH Europe produced many innovative educational campaigns and resources, and this video is a great example of the creativity and professionalism of public health students. We have hope for the future because of the work you will do for a healthier and more just world!" Laura Magaña, President & CEO, Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH)
Support and funding
A number of key local partners supported and endorsed the campaign, including university authorities, the municipality, and various student organisations.
Maastricht University was awarded a grant from ASPHER to visualize what public health entails. With this money, the students ran their campaign and financed the making of their video.
"Public health is about protecting and improving the health of all the people in our societies. It may not be dramatic and eye catching as health care can be portrayed. But it is vital necessary, unsung and often unappreciated - until a pandemic comes along! This great video from Maastricht shows us, with great energy how public health work serves to see us well".
John Middleton, President, Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region

To send away for service records for yourself of your relative, go here
there is quite a waiting time now .. Mary
The time period depends on just how busy they are, there seems to be a rush at the moment, we sent for these records 19th October 2008, they replied almost immediately to acknowledge receipt of the application (SARS Form) and a further letter to apologise for the delay, the records arrived 10th December. The records are all photocopies of the originals, as the original documents are larger than A4 some are multiple scans i.e.. the same page scanned twice or 4 times to ensue all information is shown, you can rescan or photograph these individually and use a handy free programme called 'Autostitch' which will merge all as one document.
I have added the documents as thumbnails, simply click on them to enlarge
Boys Model old boy seeks 1920s answers...
In an article in the Community Telegraph (North Down and Ards Community Telegraph) on June 29/30, the outgoing headmaster of Ashfield Boys School, Andy McMorran, mentions his spell at the Boys Model. Perhaps he or some of your readers can help me. I was born in 1919 and after a period at Alexander PE National School (around 1924) we moved to Cliftonville where I attended Belfast Boys Model School around 1927. It was a nissan hut in the grounds of the girls' school, accessed by a potholes dirt lane. The headmaster was Mr. Haslett and vice principal was Mr. Stevenson, whose son Jim, was in my class. My family are pressing me to write about my life and I cannot find anything at Proni (the Public Records Office Northern Ireland) which helps me with dates etc. for that period. Due to the big crash of 1929/1930 I didn't finish elementary school and wondered if anyone knows what happened to all the old school records for the Boys Model. Were they passed on to the new Model? Was there/is there an old boys association for the old school? I did go to two more schools - Carnmoney PE No2 and Hillman Street McCrory Memorial School.

Jim Lennon Sniper Burma, 1945. Jim Lennon, one of the famous 12-Mile Snipers, is with his Regiment, sweating it out and being eaten alive by mosquitoes deep in the jungle. Japanese troops are waiting in their thousands. Jim knows it will be a fight to the death. No one is expected to walk out of that jungle alive. But Jim does. Yet his hardest battle lies ahead. Today, the onset of osteoporosis has compromised Jim's mobility. He needed help and we were proud and honoured to give it. The Legion provided him with a mobility scooter. Now he finds it so much easier to care for his housebound wife and get around.
My Dad, James Lennon was 'called up' on Friday 25th August, 1939, he had to report at Dunmore at 3.00pm and he got home again at 5.30pm.
He sailed for England, from Northern Ireland on the 6th November, 1939 and went to France on the 19th December, 1939, he ended up in Burma for 3 years with no leave !
This is his story.................
"We were all fighting in the same war but each person lived it differently".
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, above Frank Novins fish shop on the Old Park Road, which his father managed, Arthur and Mary Anne welcomed the birth of their first son on the 19th of October 1919, their next son Arthur Linton died shortly after birth. Jim grew up in Belfast, attending first Alexandra PE in Alexandra Park, he remembers his first day at school, age five, "Tommy Foster (10) a neighbour took me by the hand to school on my first day, there was only one long room with a fireplace and benches tiered on three walls with the oldest students on the back benches." After that they moved from the Old Park Road to 50 Mountcollier Street, then to Rosapena Street which were Council owned houses, this was at the time of the depression when people were committing suicide because of the debts they owed and couldn't pay, his father couldn't pay the rates, Jim and his mother Mary then moved to 9 Evolina Street to live with Mary's parents and Aunt, while his father was living in derelict houses and avoiding the police but he eventually had to serve six months in prison as did many others at that time. While living at Evolina Street, Jim attended Hillman Street school, although not too often he tells me, "Things were just too crazy then, it was a bad time." After that they moved to Carnmoney where they lived in old Nissan huts, tin corrugated huts and Jim attended Carnmoney PE or Ballyduff PE, he's not sure which it was called, they then moved to 33 Ritchie Street which is where they still were when Jim was 'called up' to serve in WWII, when I say 'called up', I mean volunteered as the men from Northern Ireland were all voluntary soldiers.
some day there will be more.........

♥ Hang-dry for longest life. If you must, tumble dry low. Cool iron inside-out if necessary. Do not iron decoration. Do not dry clean.

Business Loans No Credit Check
If you have poor personal credit or no business credit, finding the right financing may be difficult. Fortunately, there are a few funding options that do not require a credit check, such as merchant cash advances, payment processor loans and invoice factoring. These types of funding are typically short-term, have higher rates and fees than traditional business loans, but they may be an option for borrowers that need to get money into their bank account quickly.
Most lenders will run a credit check on the borrower when assessing their application for business loans. This can be a hard or soft inquiry, depending on the lender and will look at the five C's of credit: capacity, capital, character, collateral, and conditions. Although credit is an important factor, other factors like revenue, time in business, and operating expenses are also considered when deciding on a loan.
Some small business owners may want to avoid a credit check for business funding because they don't want their personal credit scores affected or they are seeking to separate their personal and business finances completely. Others have bad personal credit or no business credit, which will disqualify them from most traditional business loans.
For these reasons, alternative business loans are becoming increasingly popular. These funding options focus more on a business's future potential and less on a borrower's past credit history or financial status. Some alternative lenders will not only run a credit check on the business but also check the business's financial records to make sure it is capable of repaying the loan.
If you need a business loan and your personal or business credit is poor, try to improve it first. There are ways to do this that will not affect your credit score, such as paying bills on time or reducing your debt-to-income ratio. You should also try to find a lender that will report your repayments to the business credit bureaus, as this will help build your business's credit.
Business loans no credit check are available to borrowers with poor personal or business credit, but they come at high interest rates and with strict terms. This type of financing is typically used to fund working capital, inventory, equipment or other business-related needs. It is important to research the best options before applying for this type of financing. It is also a good idea to compare the rates and terms of different lenders before making a decision. Some lenders will provide quotes on a range of different loan options to give you the flexibility to select the best one for your business. Some lenders will even provide a free consultation to determine the best funding solution for your business. This will allow you to discuss the pros and cons of each option before deciding on the right one for your company's needs. This will save you both time and money in the long run.

A major chunk of RPG's staff to permanently WFH
RPG Enterprises took remote working to a new level with the announcement of their new 'RPG Remote Working Policy'. The company has brands such as CEAT, RPG Life Sciences, KEC International, Harrisons Malayalam and a strong workforce of 30000 people.
This new policy is allowing all its sales people to permanently work remotely, while other employees would WFH 50% of the time. For office-based staff, this can extend to 75% in special cases. In a month, an office-based employee can work two weeks from home, and in special cases, he/she can work remotely for three weeks.
This new policy will be effective from September 1, is the location- and workplace- agnostic. It is applicable to RPG's global operations as well, and also covers factories and plantations for those workers who don't work on machines.
Harsh Goenka, Chairman, RPG Enterprises, told TOI: "Our new work from home policy shatters the notion of traditional workspace and productivity and has turned it on its head. Employees who are not operating machines in our manufacturing businesses or do not have a client obligation in our technology services business, can work from 'anywhere' even after the pandemic is behind us. It aligns with our vision tenet of 'touching lives' and brand promise of 'happiness'."
The company's idea is to encourage employees to adopt new and contemporary methods of working that improve their quality of life, productivity and also optimize the group companies' operating expenses.
Commenting on the thought process behind launching this new WFH policy, Supratik Bhattacharyya, Chief Talent Officer, said, "While we've had a WFH policy earlier at RPG, the current situation has been a great reset. Not only did it give us the opportunity to successfully test it out, it also convinced us that we could actually take it to the next level. As an organization ethos, we've always laid emphasis on output, and not merely on the number of hours, one puts in.
The company is confident that a larger WFH approach would significantly enhance work-life balance and employee wellness without compromising on productivity in any way. The organization has connected with employees to take their feedback and put together a set of well-thought-through guidelines that will support each employee in this journey, which is what this new policy is all about. The investments that the company has made in its HR systems, processes, and technology will be great enablers to this approach.
He added, "Our new WFH policy will also help us optimize our operating expenses to a degree, but more importantly it will empower employees and increase efficiency."
WFH ready
RPG has done their homework before introducing this policy. The company has formed a task force drawn from all our group companies, who took inputs from the larger group of employees to establish their desire and ask. They kept this policy as a choice for the employees, making them eligible to work remotely up to 75% of their time, so there is enough flexibility built-in.
This Policy is meant to apply across locations and geographies, spanning offices, IT campuses, manufacturing locations, project sites, plantations, estates, and any other work locations of all RPG Group companies. The conglomerate has ensured that this takes into account the work requirements of the employees and that it complies with the laws of the lands where they operate.
"Empowering employees by giving them a choice to work remotely from home or another location for a significant number of days in a month, will enhance employee efficiency and business output," said a company note.

Western Australia bid to lure more than 30,000 key workers Down Under
The Great Aussie jobs raid! Western Australia launches cheeky bid to lure more than 30,000 British doctors, nurses, police and teachers Down Under in a nod to the post-World War Two 'Ten Pound Poms' scheme
- Australian delegation will visit the UK this month in bid to lure 31,000 workers
- They are searching for doctors, officers and teachers among other professions
- With UK public sector shortages, the audacious ad has been met with concern
Western Australia has launched an audacious bid to 'steal' 31,000 British doctors, police officers and teachers to work in the land Down Under.
In a nod to the 'Ten Pound Poms' scheme introduced after the Second World War, a delegation of government and industry officials will visit the UK later this month to lure workers away to fill more than 31,000 vacancies.
They are also on the hunt for miners, plumbers, mechanics and builders.
They promise hard-working Britons can 'have it all' and boast the UK's energy bills – up to £2,600 this year – will cost almost half in Australia, with the savings spent on 183 pints of beer, 110 roast dinners or 500 jars of Marmite.
Police and defence industry minister Paul Papalia also highlighted Western Australia's 'wine regions', 'coral reefs' and 'culinary scene'. He said: 'Our wages are higher and our cost of living is lower. Our health system is world class. You will be taken care of.
'Many of our ancestors were sent from the UK to Australia as convicts. Now, it would be a crime not to make the move.'
Western Australia has launched an audacious bid to 'steal' 31,000 British doctors, police officers and teachers to work in the land Down Under
But with the UK public sector facing staff shortages, the plan has been met with concern.
Steve Brine MP, chairman of the Commons health and social care select committee, said: 'Any country is obviously entitled to import health care workers – as we do in the UK from elsewhere – but there's nothing to say our people have to go.'
Another committee member, Tory MP Paul Bristow, said the Australians' choice of the word 'steal' was 'unfortunate', adding: 'We need to demonstrate the benefits of working in the UK to help them stay.'
Steve Hartshorn, national chairman of the Police Federation, said: 'We need every officer we have in this time of crisis.'
The NHS is battling shortfalls of 12,000 hospital doctors and more than 50,000 nurses and midwives.
Rachel Harrison, GMB national secretary, said: 'If ministers want to retain the best asset of the Health Service – the workforce – they need to talk pay now.'
The Department of Health said the majority of UK trained doctors and nurses, work in the NHS.
The delegation, arriving on February 25, will hold events and attend job fairs.

Cheslie Down
As Don McLean says, "I could have told you, Vincent. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you."
I'm what author Jason Mott in his brilliant satire, Hell of a Book, calls "State College," which is the name his Harvard-educated driver calls him. We state educated folks obviously don't have the status markers to belong in the current "Meritocracy."
There are a lot of us, but the tragedy of persons of merit who fight the status quo, such as one Cheslie Kryst, can also be quite appalling, especially when they came from states, like North Carolina, that are not usually primed to respect a woman's rise through her own merit. They respect "beauty," however, and this is what may have killed Cheslie Kryst.
As an English professor in state-run colleges (mostly community based), I understood the toll merit acquisition took from my students. Many were not from money. They were part of the "creeping divide" in this country that has recently become the Grand Canyon abyss and Victorian Era divide.
This brings me to the poem (yes, we state folks can write poetry). Mr. Mott's book did win the National Book Award. I even won a "Readers Favorite Book Award" for my short stories. And Ms. Kryst won a lot of beauty contests, but therein lies the rub.
First, my humble poetry:
One more down. One more fallen.
Can I take many more?
The mind rumbles in oblivion.
She was marked with beauty.
Not a bad thing, when taken moderately.
But the stares, the expectations, the sophistry.
Is the division and priority still there?
A social stigma that trumps intellect for women.
She made her mark with compassionate wisdom.
Not beauty, that can be a beast.
When turned inward, turned against the grain.
When the need is peace and delicate joy.
Staring across the table at young men and women.
Trapped in prisons of no return.
They were marked like the beasts, the way she was.
Does beauty and intellect kill the inward flow?
Not with Cheslie. She was killed by us.
She wanted peace for all, for you, and for me.
So high up, so frail inside.
Loving to please, the distance down
Became the distance between
But she took it all out on herself.
The marked beauty.
The marked empath.
As you can see, Cheslie, in my opinion, was a "marked beast." Our society, as she knew so well, places beauty for women above their intelligence. She attempted to change that. Good luck!
Have you seen Tiktok lately? Young women with large breasts spout advice to other "endowed" young ladies about saving the hundreds of thousands of dollars she makes posing nude. Women even establish vetted porn sites to interest only women. The "beast" of marked women is a multi-billion dollar industry, it seems, and this was what Ms. Cheslie Kryst was fighting, among other things.
Ms. Kryst even pointed out in a legal competition she was in that the judge recommended she "wear a skirt rather than pants." In her job as an entertainment commentator, she was constantly attempting to tip the scale of prejudice in favor of women, but it was and is a losing battle.
In addition to having the widest divide in United States history between the felons attorney Kryst counseled and the meritocracy she blasted, there was an obvious divide between women being seen as sex objects and their being seen as other thinking and equal human beings. This divide was her motivation.
When Ms. Kryst stared down below at the streets of Manhattan, on that sad day, what was going through her mind? Was it as in the Billie Eilish song "Listen Before I Go?" ("Call all my friends and tell them that I love them.") No, it was more like Billie's song "Male Fantasy."
Ms. Kryst left her "message" on Instagram, one of the places most accused of the manipulation and "body shaming trope" against young women. What did Kryst say?
"May this day bring you rest and peace."
Who was her audience? That is the bigger question nobody seems to want to really answer. Especially those in the underground network of sexist realities. I believe her audience was we, who ignore her pleas for sanity.
