Alibaba stands firm against Hong Kong exchange over IPO
Firm battles to keep management in control after it goes public
Chinese tech biz Alibaba has revealed details of its internal partnership structure, which would allow a group of founders and senior employees to keep control over the board after the company goes public.
Founder Jack Ma spilled the details in an email to employees, according to Reuters, adding to pressure on Hong Kong to accept the structure if they want to see what could be the biggest tech IPO since Facebook's $16bn listing last year.
The Hong Kong market is not generally fond of dual-stock structures, which ensure that certain people have control of a company by giving their shares more voting power than outside investors.
Ma said in the email that 28 senior employees would have the right to nominate the majority of the board and that this structure was intended to "safeguard the culture of innovation" and protect the firm from the "temptation to seek short-term gains". He denied that the partnership was aimed at exerting "greater control over the company".
Alibaba has been lobbying the Hong Kong exchange and local regulators to allow it to keep the partnership structure despite the fact that the market has previously resisted the efforts of companies to treat any shareholders differently.
If the parties can't reach an agreement, Ma may decide to take the IPO to New York, where tech firms have been successful in implementing dual-class voting shares to retain control after going public.
Ma said he was "not concerned about where to go public, but we do care that wherever we end up going public must support this type of open, innovative, responsible culture that values long-term development." ®

Hyaluronic Acid is essential for proper nutrient delivery to the joint fluid.
- HA, it's structure is the simpliest of all glycosaminoglycans and forms the backbone of proteoglycans (a form of protein).
- It is found in the connective tissue and created in the synovial membrane by the chondrocytes (the only cells in cartilage).
- Absorption in a gel form is your best option,
Allinflex NZ Hyaluronic Acid (HA) DIY Kit gives you the opportunity to feed Fresh if and when required.
100ml water to 1 gram HA, 10ml a day for 10 days.10ml is for 600kg horse a low dose. 20 to 25ml is a booster.If you want to give higher dose, just give more liquid, don't put more HA in the water. 2/3 of the SMALL side of the spoon is 1 gram to 100ml water.Full heaped SMALL side spoon is 2 gr to 200ml water.
Heaped BIG side spoon is 4 gr to 400ml water. Clean a glass jar thoroughly pour required amount of water in jar, then the HA powder.Shake for 30 seconds, it will get lumpy. Put in fridge and shake another 2x that day, till consistency is smooth. Ready to use.
If already feeding Allinflex NZ Equine in principal your horse is getting all the joint nutrients he/she needs and the absorption of Allinflex is very very good. But if you would like to give a course of HA for 5 days we are offering you the option with this kit to make it FRESH! Fresh HA is much more potent.
As you can make as little as a 10 days course of 100mg HA or 5 days of 200mg HA.
You cannot get fresher HA anywhere!
And as usual all our equine products are HUMAN Grade.
We recommend strongly to use De-ionized water it is produced by the chemical purification of the water from salts, metals, trace elements and micro-particles using special ion exchange equipment. It's purity is much higher than that of distilled water obtained by distillation.

Alex Nation & Richie Strahan Spotted In Fiji For BIP
We believe in coincidences, but this is just too damn suspicious not to mean anything!!
It's been rumoured that they may make an appearance on the next season of Bachelor In Paradise Australia, but this news practically confirms it after exes Alex Nation and Richie Strahan have BOTH been spotted over in Fiji.
View this post on Instagram
As in location where the show is currently being filmed!! Coincidence? We bloody well don't think so!
Woman's Day is reporting that Alex was photographed arriving at Nadi International Airport on November 5th while Richie was spotted on November 8th.
View this post on Instagram
Looking forward to this years premier EOFY Party on the 29th of June @terrace_events
While we admit there's a minuscule possibility that they are both on separate holidays in the idyllic tropical location at the same time, it seems more likely that they're there for some Bachie reunion fun.
And you know what that means. DRAAAAMMMMAAAAA! (Is it bad how much we love this?)
In case you're unaware, there's some pretty messy history between these two. Richie was the Bachelor during season four of the show after having his heart broken by Sam Frost.
Richie chose to be with Alex during the final episode, breaking the hearts of runner up Nikki Gogan and the rest of Australia in the process. But their relationship didn't last all too long.
After a few months, the pair eventually split and Alex began dating her AFL teammate Maegan Luxa, with reports that they had even become engaged.
But it would now seem that both Richie and Alex are single and ready to find love once again in paradise.
In other incredibly exciting Bachie news, Woman's Day is also reporting that some other season favourites have been spotted in Fiji including:
- Vanessa Sunshine (eeeeek!!)
- Alisha Aitken-Radburn
View this post on Instagram
Casual Friday 💁♀ bit of leftover #thebachelorau press fun 📸 @bensymonsphoto
- Shannon Baff
-Cat Henesey
View this post on Instagram
-Jules Bourne
-Nathan Favro
View this post on Instagram
They will join those rumoured returnees, Sam Cochrane, James Trethewie and another one of Richie Strahan's exes, Rachael Gouvignon.
The show itself has only officially confirmed two names for the second season, Brooke Blurton and Cass Wood from Nick Cummins' season.
So basically this means that Bachelor In Paradise Season Two is going to be bigger and better than ever and we seriously can't wait for it to air!! Bring it on!

"Barack Obama has already held more re-election fundraising events than every elected president since Richard Nixon combined, according to figures to be published in a new book.
Obama is also the only president in the past 35 years to visit every electoral battleground state in his first year of office.
The figures, contained a in a new book called The Rise of the President's Permanent Campaign by Brendan J. Doherty, due to be published by University Press of Kansas in July, give statistical backing to the notion that Obama is more preoccupied with being re-elected than any other commander-in-chief of modern times."

For those who don't know this restaurant, it's serving Japanese cuisine buffet.
If not mistaken, there are 3 outlets in Malaysia and it is the only 1 in Klang valley. You can find another 2 in Penang E-gate and Auto city.
Environment was cozy and classy too. The oriental decoration really suitable with its Japanese theme.
For lunch, it started at 11.30 am to 2.30 pm and we were the first batch of customer of the day. This had clearly shown how we love food. Lol.
My words can't tell you how great the foods were like. Better let's photos do tell the story, hahaha.
People said, in other countries, they pray before eating. However, when it comes to Malaysia, we take photos before eating. This is exactly the truth. :p
Here are the mouth-watering dishes we had. Missed out some photos for being too hungry and forgotten to snap them :p
|#1: Steam salmon
|#2: Mixed (Chuka wakame, drunken chicken and etc)
|#3: Grilled seafoods
|#4: Fresh salmon sashimi
|#5: Barbeque squids, hotdog and chicken
|#6: My favorite - Motoyaki scallop
|#7: Another favorite - Kaki Hiroyaki (cheese oyster)
|#8: Lamb teriyaki
|#9: Japanese style Chee Cheong Fan
|#10: Soft shell crab and smoked salmon temaki (handroll)
|#11: Self-mixed salad with thousand island, orange dressing and mustard mayo sauce
|#12: Mayonnaise prawn
|#13: Steam gyoza (Japanese dumpling)
|#14: Taiwan style steam fish (Love the cod fish so much! )
|#15: Dessert - Chocolate mint cake, mango pudding, cream puff
|#16: This was what we were happily playing with - Chocolate fondue
The price for lunch is RM46 + 16% each person. If you're May baby, you can even enjoy the 50% discount until end of this month! (Limited to dinner only).
However, it isn't a good eating habit to practice because we tend to eat extra in buffet. When energy input more than energy output, it will put you at risk of overweight and obesity. Thus, go for buffet once in a while is more than enough :)
Here I end my post with some camwhoring photos, lol.

"A/B" Courses
"A/B" courses are multi-term courses. For example, if you enrol in CBLG 10A/B you will be enrolled in CBLG 10A for the selected term, and later automatically enrolled in CBLG 10B for the subsequent term. The automatic enrolment usually occurs near the completion of "A" term, and therefore the "B" term will not appear on your schedule of classes until that time.

Gedatsu is one of the oddest characters in the series, as he has many strange habits, none of which he is aware of. He needs to be corrected in every single instance, whereupon he will frown and cry, "How careless!" or "Hey!" (In the manga, he will have a look of pure shock). His mannerisms are in contrast with his extremely imposing appearance.
These habits include:
- Rolling his eyes into the back of his head, rendering him unable to see.
- Trying to speak with his lower lip stuck in his mouth
- Temporarily forgetting to breathe
- Incorrectly crossing his arms (he doesn't have them meet), making them constantly rub against each other.
- When explaining his abilities (or even about himself), he only thinks about them and forgets to actually talk.
- Accidentally aiming his attack at an ally instead of his enemy.
- Entering a house through the window instead of the door
- Crouching beside a drum that he's supposed to be currently bathing in to heat it when someone was doing that for him.
- Forgetting to blink.
- Digging while standing on a wall instead of the ground.
- Sticking some food into his ear instead of his mouth.
- Facing the wrong way from everyone else.
Despite his strange habits, he is still very serious, ruthless and confident. He also didn't seem to mind if his men are killed, even by him and considers being saved by the enemy as a shame.
Gedatsu first appears when he meets up with the other priests, as Nami was observing them for the first time.
Later on, after the game of survival has started, he comes to meet Chopper, though he can't see him in the beginning because he had rolled his eyes into the back of his head which scared Chopper. Gedatsu however believed that Chopper could turn invisible which was obviously not true. Even when he tried to make it clear that he was one of the Almighty Enel's Priest no one could understand it because he was not speaking loudly. All these made Chopper think that he was an idiot. Also while he explaining how he had planted Swamp-cloud traps in his territory, he ends up almost sinking into one of them himself before he gets out of it and, much to Chopper's amazement, flies up using a milky dial.. Shortly after that, Gedatsu sends a 'Swamp cloud burger' towards his own man which surprises Chopper, though he could see how this technique made it impossible for the victim to escape once being hit as the more the victim moves, the deeper into the cloud he goes..
As Gedatsu goes to do the same to Chopper, Chopper runs away and as a doctor tries to save a sheep who was about to die within the cloud. Gedatsu then began making fun of the sheep's situation causing the sheep to get angry and try to fight him together with Chopper. However before he could even attack, Gedatsu sent him flying using his 'Jet Dial', an extremely powerful, yet extinct Dial, as it increases the speed, and thus the power as well, of his punch. As Chopper saw this, he was incredibly shocked by the strength of Gedatsu. Chopper ran from him but he realized that he could fall into one of Gedatsu´s swamp traps so he stopped running then Chopper knew no other way than to eat a "Rumble Ball" and to jump. But Gedatsu followed him, attacking him with a punch straight away, followed immediately by swamp-cloud burgers. Chopper used his transformations as an advantage to defend himself. As he was analysing the Priests weak point using "Brain Point", Gedatsu gave him a powerful 'high punch' which injured Chopper heavily. It was at this point that Chopper discovered Gedatsu's weak point, the dials on his feet.
Chopper then attempted to take off one of Gedatsu's milky dials which was attached on his feet when he was attacked again by another cloud-swamp burger. However Chopper was able to dodge it and jumped off in order to make Gedatsu follow him. As Gedatsu did not notice that one of his shoes had been taken away he could not control his speed in the air and flew without orientation. Chopper used this advantage to turn immediately into his 'strength point' and to hit him with his strongest attack. This attack by Tony Tony Chopper was efficient enough to make Gedatsu fall to the ground. To Chopper's fortune he lands in one of his own swamp-traps where he then totally sinks. He was very angry about his carelessness during the battle with Chopper which led to his defeat. Later through a series of accidents and coincidences, he ends up helping Goro, Kohza's uncle, start a hot springs resort on an island later linked by a tunnel to Arabasta. He ended up working as a clerk there, much to his (eventual) shock.
He was the only one of the priests not to be banished to a desert cloud.

Reviewed by Billy (age 10)
This book is about a teenage boy, Joe Stoshack. He found a baseball card and all of a sudden the next thing you know, he was transported back to 1944. It was incredible how he was traveled back through time!
When Joe travled back in time it was 1944. During this time World War II was going on. Joe became involved in baseball and he had to play for a professional girl?s baseball league. You will have to read to find out how he helped them to win the championship. this part of the story was exciting and upbeat. However, during that night Mickey Maguire, who also plays on the team, received a phone call telling her that her husband had died in battle. This reminds you that even though everyone is enjoying baseball there is also a war going on.
I recommend this book to everybody that likes baseball. It was a fast paced book that really holds your attention. The baseball facts and historical information about World War II also made the book very enjoyable for me. I am looking forward to reading more of Dan Gutman's stories.

EPDM is available in both black and white, and is sold a broad variety of widths, ranging from 7.5 feet to fifty feet, and in two thicknesses, 45 and 60 mils.
EPDM roofing membranes made up of rubber have the integrity to hold up over years of thermal cycling, inclement weather, extreme UV exposure and the ability to stay flexible at cold temperatures. EPDM membranes also meet the strict rigors of the wind uplift codes and will not easily separate at the seams. EPDM continues to be a top choice of architects, roof consultants and contractors for both new construction and replacement roofing projects.
EPDM can be installed fully adhered, mechanically attached, or ballasted, with the seams of the roofing system sealed with liquid adhesives or specially formulated tape. The complete lack or minimization of multiple seams makes EPDM roofs virtually impenetrable. EPDM roofs are highly resistant to weathering, ozone, and surface damage. It is flexible in cold weather and still has high fire and heat resistance. You can't go wrong choosing EPDM for low-slope roofs and flat roofs that need to be waterproof and durable against harsh weather.
When properly applied, it has a life cycle of 25 years. EPDM rubber roof maintenance is lowered by the streamline and durable nature of the materials. It is great for preventing leaks and is often installed for roofs that have problems with weathering, failing joints, and inflexibility. The minimized need for repair and upkeep makes EPDM roofing an excellent choice for businesses.
Shield Roofing & Construction can install your EPDM Rubber Roof as new construction or as a replacement installation. We are well acquainted with EPDM rubber roofing, whether fully adhered or a ballast system. Contact us today to get started with a free quote!

5 Essential Questions to Ask Any Moving Company
These days, many people are preparing to move. If this is the case for you, now is the time to determine which moving company will be able to offer you the excellent, expedient services you deserve. With this idea in mind, be sure to ask the following five essential questions during your consultation with a prospective moving company:
1. What Types Of Services Do You Offer?
One important question to ask a moving company is what types of services they offer. There are numerous types of services available, and you want to be sure that the company in question offers everything you need. For example, Wikipedia notes that the use of truck rental services is referred to as DIY moving. In this form of service, the people who are moving rent or borrow a trailer or truck that is big enough to transport their household items.
2. Do You Provide Clients With Insurance?
In addition to asking a moving company what types of services they offer, make sure you look into whether they provide insurance. These days, many moving companies will offer transit insurance. This insurance will cover damages incurred during the moving process.
3. How Long Have You Been In Operation?
Huffington Post writer Laura McHolm encourages prospective movers to ask the following question: How long has the moving company been in business? As she states, experience matters and a proven track record indicates that the company is able to offer expedient, effective services consistently. With these ideas in mind, try to select a moving company that has been successfully operating for 10 years or more.
4. Are You Licensed?
Another question you should ask a moving company is whether they're licensed. For example, if you're moving to another state, the moving company should have a unique license number. This US DOT number will be issued from the United States Department of Transportation. If you are moving within the state, the moving company in question will need a state license. In the state of California, this is referred to as a Cal T license.
5. What Are Your Rates?
This is likely one of the most important questions that you'll want to ask a moving company. Learning how much you can expect to spend on moving services is typically an integral part of selecting a company. As such, do all that you can to attain an itemized estimate during your consultation with the moving company. Be sure to compare the rates of at least three companies before you make your final decision.
Don't Delay: Find The Perfect Moving Company Today!
If it's time for you to move, it's also time for you to find the ideal moving company to help you with the relocation process. By asking the prospective movers all of the aforementioned questions, you can get on the road to locating the ideal company!

Sometimes life is disappointing. We can do everything we know to do and hold on to
everything we believe to be true, but sometimes people will let us down, or our plans won't work out, or the thing that seemed so perfect suddenly becomes abundantly imperfect. It's part of the
human experience… dealing with the unplanned, uninvited moments when we're left wondering why we dared to hope.
Here are a few things I've gleaned from disappointment that I hope will help you survive disappointment with your soul intact.
1.Disappointment is an effective teacher. Don't waste the experience. Glean from it perspective or truth that inevitably hides inside every maddening moment of disappointment.
2. Disappointment does not make you a fool. It just doesn't. You wanted to believe the best and that's a good thing. Don't lose that adventurous spirit. You'll need it to carry on.
3. Disappointment does not make everyone else a fool. People are flawed and so are you. Don't let a chip on your shoulder rob you from the experience of being able to extend grace.
4. Most disappointments aren't even about us… they're about our expectations. We can't control life, but we can examine whether or not our expectations are realistic.
5. We are not defined by our disappointments. That said, experiences that dash our hopes can be defining moments. We can either shrink away from
really living because of some person or circumstance we couldn't have changed anyway, or we can let the experience build our determination to be a person who can be counted on.
6. Disappointment makes heaven sweeter. When you live on a fallen planet with human beings, things are going to get messed up, even among good people. When that reality comes crashing down, imagine the day when you will fall into the arms of God with the relief that comes from knowing you finished the race well. In heaven, there will be no disappointment. Count on that.
7. Expressing the pain of your disappointment through art, music, writing or other creative works can be therapeutic and, ironically, can produce the most inspired, passionate work you will ever do. Instead of fighting the pain, capture it creatively and it might actually help others! At the risk of sounding opportunistic, I have friends who did this and wrote award-winning books and/or songs. Go figure!
8. Don't be sucked in by the blame game. We can point fingers all day long when we've lost our faith in someone or something, but placing blame is not conducive to healing. Spewing venom about who is "most" to blame is unfruitful, fuels frustration and hinders us from moving on.
9. Dealing with disappointment is disheartening; but it's especially devastating if your sense of well-being rests in the hands of other
people or circumstances. I urge you to not to give people or circumstances that kind of power over you. They can't handle it and neither can your heart.
10. All the disappointment in the world cannot change God's nature. He knows how much we can handle and He uses difficult circumstances to shape us in ways that nothing else could have. His love drives everything and can heal anything. Anything!
As much as I hope you will never need this little disappointment management guide, life will most likely deal you a harsh blow before it's over (unless you're reading this from Heaven.. and if you are, please comment below because I've got some questions!)
Disappointment never feels good, but faith is not about how we feel… it's about Who we trust. Trials tend to blaze a path through which we become more purified and more prepared to face whatever lies ahead.
Who knows? Some disappointments might happen just so we can "trade up" to a better plan… perhaps the one that was meant for us all

I wish I could show you a wider angle of this scarf/cowl. I searched high and low for a scarf like this when I was in New York. I was literally going to pay anything at that point because I was so cold but I never found it! The scarves weren't chunky enough or weren't the right shades. I got so frustrated that when I got home from my trip in New York I just decided to make my own!
Many asked me how I made this scarf but it was really really easy!
How to Easily Crochet a Chunky Infinity Scarf (Cowl)
Materials I used:
– 2 x Red Heart Yarn Yellow
– Crochet Hook Size S
Use double yarn as you crochet loosely SC (Single Crochet) and continue on as wide as you want.
Then SS (Slip Stitch) to the beginning of where you started.
Continue to SC in rounds as thick as you want.
If you think that my tips have been helpful and you'd really like me to continue! Please think about supporting me via donations! Here is my tip jar! Thank you in advance!

First, let me say that I am not a professional dog trainer. I still attend obedience classes with my pups because I believe that training is very important to our relationship. I am a very soft-hearted owner that hates having to correct my beloved pups. (I must remember that they are dogs!)
In 1980, I started trying to train my Keeshond with a poor method that I read in a book somewhere, sometime. Kishi was a good dog and survived the training with no skills at all, but we came to an agreement that worked for us.
I subsequently acquired another Keeshond, Kioshi, and a Chow, Teddy. Both were good dogs, but were totally untrained. I swore that I would not own another dog unless it was trained.
When I acquired Budo, an AKC "blue" Chow Chow, I knew I needed to train him correctly (we all know the reputation of the Chow). By accident, I purchased a book titled "The Koehler Method of Open Obedience for Ring, Home and Field" by William R. Koehler. While this was not the correct book for basic obedience, I was astounded by its straightforward methods. I immediately went out and bought the correct book for beginners: "The Koehler Method of Dog Training" by William Koehler. I still own, and re-read, this book. Since then I have read at least 30 books on the subject. While many have righteous ideas, I still like Koehler's " method", because it seems to have a strong, no nonsense foundation.
Budo and I started training and I must say we did a pretty good job. Chows are not known for their obedience skills. Budo learned most of the Novice and Open skills. During this time, I started training with a local trainer. He was a pretty good trainer, but he seemed to be a little on the cruel side. He said that he did not subscribe to any given training method, but he seems to use some of Koehler's ideas, so I was OK with the training. Budo and I competed in a few "fun" matches and even won some ribbons.
In the meantime, I got another Chow, Michi. Later, Budo, Michi and I, trained under a lady who did teach Koehler's method. I liked the training a lot. It was good to train with Koelher's methods, from someone who had trained in the system. She was very kind to the dogs, but firm. I believe that she truly loved dogs and had their best interests at heart. Unfortunately, she was caught on film, using what some would call a harsh technique. The local media picked up on it, and during the furor she was forced to move away from town. I have no idea where she is now.
When we got Rocky, a rat terrier, I went to Dan Miles of Miles and Miles Dog Training. He is a very kind trainer, who also seems to truly love dogs. (His dog, Chief, is a wonderful example of a well-behaved dog.) Rocky has learned basic obedience skills. He goes to work at our business for two hours every night, and sometimes on weekends. He is a good ambassador for our business. Most people comment on his good behavior, even though he sometimes breaks his "downs". If you are from the Kansas City (north) area, we would strongly recommend Dan Miles. Now that we have Sassy, we will be training there again. Rocky will also go back for more training, since I seem to need the structure of a formal class.
While there is much controversy about Koehler, I still believe in the Koehler concept and hope you will visit their web site. I am not sure that I advocate all of the methods for "problem dogs", but the basic training seems sound to me. If you have an open mind and are willing to read just a little, click here. I would also recommend the complete series of books by Koehler, but only if you are really interested in dog training, not just popular dog psychology books. The conceptual idea is the important point.

Preventing Plagiarism
The best way to prevent plagiarism is to teach students how to find and use sources in discipline-specific ways. While English 110 provides an introduction to finding and evaluating sources and to synthesizing information from sources, we can't introduce students to every discipline's source-use conventions within a one-semester class.
We encourage faculty across the curriculum to extend on the foundation created in English 110 by:
- Introducing students to the citation system used in your discipline;
- Sharing tips and strategies with students on the best way to find and evaluate disciplinary sources; and
- Giving students low-stakes practice with using sources in your discipline before asking them to complete high-stakes assignments.
College Writing faculty have compiled a variety of strategies and activities for teaching source use. Click here to browse relevant materials from College Writing Faculty Development workshops.

Expansions of small business are usually done to gain a wider market for the products and make good profits. In order to grow well and succeed in the modern world, choosing from a wide array of financial services becomes a significant task. So, before you stick to a particular product, knowing a brief on the types would offer great help.
Bank Loans
Financial services such as bank loans provide the foundation or support which is highly essential for small business expansions. They are one of the most basic and well suited financial products for many small businesses. Loans are highly beneficial in providing the funds which are required to carry out the day to day operations of the business. Along with this, loans also help in procuring the needed equipments and machinery to run the business efficiently and even property investments. Depending on the mode of repayment and the interest rates, they can be classified into short term or long term loans and can be chosen upon the convenience of business owner.
Angel Investors
Angel investors are people who invest in a company for debt returns or equity share. They are basically established entrepreneurs or retired people who have a rich experience in the business field and want to be updated with the current business practices. Angel investors usually offer funds and advices to small business that want to expand if approached during a meet or face to face. Thus budding entrepreneurs who do not want to list their company in the public exchanges and still want to gain a wide network for their business can contact angel investors.
Bootstrapping is another basic form of financial service that can be got from own sources or sources close to the company owner. It mainly includes pooling in the necessary or possible financial aid before approaching a third party for assistance. This also helps in maintaining the internal cash flows of the business, if the expansion plans are kept in mind while setting aside the required amount.
Equity Financing
A private business which is small and wants to expand in future can surely go in for equity financing. Though it involves quite a bit of risk, equities are assets which can be held for long and often shoot up in value when managed well. As it provides fixed dividends at regular intervals, it is a highly beneficial financial service. Getting finance from equity depends upon the scheme chosen and the firm in which the business is investing. With good knowledge and intelligent managing, these funds are sure to help in business growth.
Government Programs
Australian government provides financial services such as grants and funding schemes for small business, at the time of expansions. These services help the private businesses to work in collaboration with the government and deliver outcomes which are beneficial for the business as well as the public. To obtain a grant, you just have to select a grant offer and fill an application specifying the reasons that satisfy the community development policies. It does not involve much risk and thus can be an appropriate form of financial product.
Having an issue with your loan application due to credit rating? Well, the bad credit boat loans is the answer for you.

So, What is the process like, you ask? It's a lot to describe, feel free to ask for more details, I'm skipping over a lot to keep this post from becoming a novel. I also have a little amnesia from the night. Not everything went as smoothly as we'd hoped, and it was a little too crazy to take notes.
The first thing I want to make clear is that if Microsoft offers $500 to hire the firm that helps you migrate your data, take note: This is a coupon. (This was not made clear to us by Microsoft, which was no fault of our consultants') The actual cost of the consultants that you hire to migrate your data varies greatly based on the level of involvement you require of them. In our case, we have a pretty technically adept IT dept, and they still quoted us $2000, even after the $500 discount. Not an unreasonable fee when you look at the services they were offering and the amount of time they were going to spend. But our proposal to our boss was written based on the quote that Microsoft gave us, that had us believing $500 was covering the complete cost of the migration. After a little negotiation, we were able to get the quote down to under a grand, and had it based on hours instead of a flat fee.
So, what did these people do? The biggest part is they help you plan. We had a great plan from the start, but they make sure you cover all of your bases.

Egypt is located in the northeast corner of the African continent, on the Mediterranean Sea, at a crossroad between Africa, Asia and Europe. It is bordered to the east by the Red Sea, Gaza and Israel to the northeast, Libya to the west, and Sudan to the south. The country is divided into 4 main geological areas. The Nile Valley and Delta extends on both sides of the Nile from the southern limit of the river going through Aswan, Luxor, to reach Cairo, then ramifying to the north and encompassing the destinations of Damietta and Rosetta. These ramifications, north of Cairo form the Nile Delta, Egypt's most fertile agricultural land. The Western Desert extends from the Nile Valley in the east to the Egypt-Libyan border in the west and from the Mediterranean coast in the north to the southern Egyptian border, it is one of Egypt's most arid regions. Sparsely inhabited yet charming oases Siwa, Bahariya, Farafra, Kharga and Dakhla dot this extensive region. The Eastern Desert lies between the Nile Valley to the west, the Red Sea and Gulf of Suez to the east, Lake Manzala to the north and the Sudanese border to the south. This arid region embraces the Red Sea Mountains chain. The region is Egypt's richest in natural resources. Its underground treasures include gems, coal and oil. The Sinai Peninsula is a triangularly shaped plateau linked from its northwestern corner to Egypt's mainland, at the Gulf of Suez. The peninsula is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north and the Gulf of Aqaba to the east. This area is divided into a southern section, the middle section and the northern section. Egypt is home to a multicultural society. Ethnic Egyptians constitute the large majority of Egypt's total population whereas Egypt's minorities include Nubians, Berbers, Bedouins, Arabs, Turks, and Greeks, additionally to small tribal communities: the Bejas and Doms. The former are concentrated in the southeastern corner of Egypt, and the latter live mostly in the Nile Delta and the Fayoum oasis. Egypt is also known for the varied forms of folk art and dances, proper to each region of the country. While inhabitants of Suez, Ismailiya and Port Said are famous for group dances accompanied by music played on the traditional semsomiya, the southern population of Al-Saeed are known for their logging and equestrian inspired dances. Nubian dances are probably the most colorful and joyful folkloric performances; Nubians wear colorful costumes and dance to the enticing rhythms of Nubian songs. The folkloric Sinai dance is one where the dancers wear beautiful hand-embroidered dresses and perform a sword-dance. Monuments in Egypt such as the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx were constructed by its ancient civilization. Its ancient ruins, such as those of Memphis, Thebes, and Karnak and the Valley of the Kings outside Luxor, are a significant focus of archaeological study.The economy of Egypt is one of the most diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as tourism, agriculture, industry and service at almost equal production levels. In early 2011, Egypt underwent a revolution, which resulted in the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak after nearly 30 years in power. Egypt debuted in 1953 and won the pageant in 1954 with Antigone Costanda. Donia Hamed Soliman will represent Egypt in Miss World 2011.
The Times of Beauty proudly presents Donia Hamed Soliman, Miss Egypt World 2011, in an exclusive interview for our interview series, Meet the Misses.
1. Give us an introduction of yourself.
I'm Donia Hamed, a 23 years old Finance graduate from AASt, and I am the Miss Egypt World 2011 titleholder. Despite the sash and the crown, I am a very normal girl with big dreams which are slowly being reached. I live with my mother and my only brother, Khaled, who I love so much.
2. Tell us a bit more about your country and hometown.
Through my previous experience in Miss Universe 2010, I found that Egypt doesn't really need much of an introduction! I remember that some girls in Miss Universe used to struggle to introduce their countries and make people from the press aware of their respective nations! Egypt is just the mother of all cultures with over 7,000 years of history and heritage, the land of the pharaohs, the pyramids, the beautiful beaches, and recently REVOLUTION!
3. What does it mean to you to represent your country at the 61st Miss World finals?
It is such a great honor, Miss World is the largest pageant in the world and the longest existing so far, I am very excited to meet girls from almost 120 nations around the World. I am sure it will be quite an experience and it has been a while since I have visited London, so it should be really nice, especially around this time in the year.
In addition to that, I think Egypt's participation in Miss World this year is quite of an event itself. Given all the events that have been taking place in the Middle East, Egypt is the only revolutionary country to be present in Miss World this year. I think it sends an important message to the World and puts a huge burden on my shoulders to transfer the image I am supposed to present to the World about my country during this critical period of its' history.
I am just very proud to be the first Egyptian representative to Miss World post the revolution!
4. If you have to choose a song to describe yourself, which would you choose and why?
It's My Life by John Bon Jovi. This song is very powerful and whenever I feel like I am lost on track due to any kind of pressure, especially peer pressure, I feel that this song brings me back to my grounds and reminds me of what is my responsibility towards myself and my surrounding!
5. How would you describe a typical day in your life?
Well, since I graduated last year I have been involved in many charity projects with the Miss Egypt Organization. There is no typical day for me right now, it is either a charity project, a field trip, an official event or maybe a glamorous photo-shoot! Sometimes it is chaotic, but it is always something new and exciting.
6. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
A very successful business woman, maybe running a multinational enterprise as a CEO. I am passionate about my studies and I'm currently starting my masters degree. However, I would love the picture to look perfect with a loving, supporting husband and maybe a pair of twins (always wished for twins!)
7. Which well known person from your country you most admire and why?
Dr. Mohamed Elbaradei, an Egyptian political activist and an ex-diplomat who has been in the scene for ages, fighting for freedom and human rights of the Egyptian citizens and who, despite all pressures by the old regime, remained standing tall and is now running for presidency! It is also worth mentioning that Elbaradei was the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency and thus would be a perfect candidate for presidency.
So I announce my support to him through your prestigious website! haha...
8. If you had to choose any other country to live in, which one would you choose and why?
Well, I have had my share of traveling around the World, but wherever I go, I never really pictured myself living elsewhere other than Egypt. However, if I had to choose a place, it would be somewhere that has beautiful nature, beaches and serenity, maybe the Maldives or Bora Bora.
9. After the Sendai Earthquake, nuclear energy has become a focus of attention. Are you in favor or against the use of this kind of energy as a way to reduce the dependence on oil?
I am totally for the use of alternative energy. The Sendai Earthquake was a minor set back of course, however, it only means that we should do more research and work harder on making this kind of technology more safe, not to ban it!
The way I see it is that cumulatively, the use of alternative energy, whether nuclear, solar or wind, could have never harmed as much people as our depending on oil have had so far and our dependence on it will help us decrease the number of people negatively affected even more.
10. What do you think is the worst kind of human injustice or prejudice happening now?
Unfortunately, human injustice has been around since the creation of mankind, it always will be there too. In my own opinion, it would be the way that some Arab leaders deal with protests in their countries. Oppressing the voices of their people, and not just that, but also killing them, brutally, aside from many other inhumane crimes, just to maintain a form of social status is just above any level of understanding for me.
11. What are your duties as Miss Egypt World?
I won the Miss Egypt 2010 title a year ago, and was recently appointed as Miss Egypt World 2011. The new title did not bring much more responsibilities to me, I am still doing the same amount of public duties and appearances in addition to charities.
The new title came with the Miss World mission, for which I am obliged to represent my country in the best possible way and preparing for it was hectic, cause we did not have enough time to prepare, nor did we have the necessary sponsorship due to the current political and economic situation in the country.
However, the Miss Egypt Organization did a great job and we are now ready to rock the World! I even believe that I am more prepared for Miss World than I ever was for my original mission in Miss Universe last year!
12. What role can social media (ex. Facebook, Twitter, etc) play in the life of a beauty pageant titleholder?
The development of the social media in pageantry has been remarkable, I do have my own Facebook profile and I had a Facebook page since last year. The most important thing about what social media provide for pageant titleholders is communication with the fans on a real-time basis.
It really is amazing, the number of followers, and he amount of information exchanged on pageants online! I have personally been a bit of an addict lately, just checking what is going on around the World and seeing how other girls are preparing.
13. What does it mean to be a human being?
It means that you can live outside your own shell, to be able to see the others around you and to feel them. being is the part which marks your existence in the world as a particle, human is what sets us apart from any other kind of particles.
14. What do you feel is your purpose in life?
This is too general to describe, but in the larger sense it would be to reflect my own positive energy on the World, and this would only be possible if I managed to produce such energy through doing what really makes me happy, and that is being successful in whatever I choose to do.
15. Share a message to your supporters and readers of The Times of Beauty.
I am really lucky to be representing my country this year, and I would like to thank everyone who is supporting me, who took the time to read this interview and I hope you all wish me luck in this mission, cause it is very important to me as it is to my country to do well in Miss World this year. Thank you!

Central New York's first woman elected to Congress says she can bring the residents of her sharply divided district together while standing strong on her conservative principles.
In an hour-long interview Wednesday — the day after Democratic incumbent Dan Maffei conceded the race for the 25th Congressional District — Republican Ann Marie Buerkle pledged that she would run an open, inclusive office that would renew her constituents' faith in Washington. And she reiterated her firm stances on issues that bitterly divide the district and the country: defunding and repealing health care reform, making all the Bush-era tax cuts permanent, cutting corporate taxes and regulations, questioning the scientific validity of climate change, and eliminating of the federal Department of Education.
"We may not agree on every issue, but constituents should feel that they can come to me and we can talk and we can find common ground," she said. "And that's really my biggest task — to work hard so that the people in this district feel they have a voice in Washington."
Buerkle said the enormity of her 561-vote victory was still sinking in. Her cell phone had been buzzing constantly for the past 24 hours — as it did throughout the interview. Among the callers offering congratulations were Reps. John Boehner, the next speaker of the House; Eric Cantor, who will be the new majority leader; Pete Sessions, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee; and Shelley Moore Capito, one of 21 members of the House GOP Majority Transition Team.
Buerkle said she had not heard from Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., leader of the newly formed Tea Party Caucus in the House. Although some tea party activists volunteered in her campaign and many of her positions resonate with their concerns, Buerkle said she has no plans to join the caucus, which boasts 53 members in the 435-member House.
"I think the beauty of the tea party was that it was this group of people out there, not organized, just with these ideals," she said. "And I think it almost flies in the face of the whole tea party mentality to now become organized and have leadership and have somebody tell you what to do."
But she said the tea party's core principles — smaller, less intrusive government, less spending and lower taxes — will be the litmus tests to which the new Republican House majority will be held.
"That's historically been the Republican platform, but because they deviated from it, the tea party came into existence," she said. "And I think if the Republican Party steps up and does what they should do, then I think the tea party will just align themselves with the Republican Party."
Despite her commitment to hold down spending, Buerkle said she has contacted institutions like Syracuse University and met with local defense contractors Sensis and SRC to discuss their needs, and that she will seek federal money through earmarks and other sources if she feels it will help the area's economy.
Here, in her own words, are Buerkle's views on her historic campaign, her priorities in Congress and her status as the area's first congresswoman.
When did you get the sense that you could actually win?
To be honest with you, it never occurred to me that we couldn't win. But the odds got better. When I first got into this in January of this year, the pendulum hadn't begun to swing. And people looked at that, and they looked at how much money Dan Maffei had, and they said, 'It's going to be impossible.'" And then we went from that to putting together this grassroots coalition, and we had people in all four counties ... and they just were so enthusiastic, and they were relentless in their efforts. ...
I talked to John Boehner yesterday. I said to him that when he came into the district, that began to change the perception for a lot of people that we could win — that now the race was getting some national attention. ... And then Mitt Romney and then George Pataki. So we built a lot of momentum that way. We never matched (Maffei's) money, but we had what we needed. We ended the race with no debt, in the black, and all the liabilities are covered.
What impact did Sarah Palin's endorsement have?
She was the one who brought national attention to this race, which is what we needed. When we sat down and I first decided to run, we were able to get the nomination, but we didn't have any traditional Republican support. ... I'd go to donors and ask for contributions, and they'd look at me and they'd say, you know, are you nuts? So we made the decision internally that there were three things we needed. We needed the traditional Republican support, we needed grassroots and we needed national attention on this race. ... So when Sarah Palin came in, she was the first part of that national attention piece, and it was big for us. ..
What's the best advice you've received on what you're about to do?
This week I met with Congressman Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania. Bill is my rep for steering committee assignments. ... He gave me three pieces of advice. The first thing is become an expert in one area; don't try to be a jack of all trades. And then he said — and this is probably the most important advice I've gotten — you've got to be true to your word. If you tell someone you're going to support them, then you support them. If you don't know, then you tell them you've got to read it and think about it and study it. And then the last thing is stick to your principles, don't deviate from your core principles. That's what you were elected to do.
If you're going to be an expert on something, what is it going to be?
My background is health care. I'm a registered nurse. I represented a hospital for 13 years. So probably health care.
Health care reform is high on your agenda?
It is. The entire Republican caucus has in mind to defund it and repeal it and start over again. The bill, every day it unfolds, there's more evidence that the intent is to get everyone into a public option, which is going to be expensive and it's not working.
If Dan Maffei had voted against the health care bill, would that have changed everything?
I don't know that, I can only speculate. I think it could have. But it was the perfect storm. All this (stimulus) money was spent and we still had unemployment, we had uncertainty with the health care bill, cap and trade, there just was a lot of negative energy, and Dan voted for all of it. And I think it's important to realize in this election — and we heard this in Washington — that this election was more of an indictment of those policies rather than a ringing endorsement of the Republicans, because they're still skeptical about us. It's as if we're getting another chance to do the right thing for this country.
So the election was more about being against them than being for you?
I think that's the overall picture. I think in my situation it was part of it. I think the voters saw someone they could relate to, someone who lived here, worked here, raised a family here. For a lot of people that was the difference between Dan Maffei and myself, that I was relatable, that I could get day-to-day stuff. But I think it was a combination of things. And I think the Republicans know that — that this election isn't that they love the Republicans. And that's what the tea party movement is about. They don't trust the Republicans or the Democrats, so they're going to offer another solution.
To clear up a couple of campaign issues: What is your view on global warming?
Well, the reason this came up was Dan's vote on cap and trade (the climate change bill). I said I didn't think it was a good idea to pass legislation such as cap and trade where we know it's going to be so harmful — whether it's farmers in the cost of fertilizer, the cost of doing business, the cost of energy for families — that to create a bill and support a bill that has such a bad effect on people and families and businesses and farmers, that its benefit and what it's going to do to carbon emissions was negligible. ... And there's still debate out there on global warming. I think global warming politically has probably been decided, but scientifically I don't think it has. I think you can talk to reasonable people, meteorologists, and they have differing opinions on it.
Are you going to accept earmarks?
As you know, the leadership is pushing a moratorium on earmarks. It's not to say there won't be earmarks, but they'll be transparent, and they'll be talked about. But I think the bigger issue is to get the request into appropriations and to get it in as a budget request rather than shoving it in the back of a bill so that someone will support that bill. Leader Boehner talked about, you know, it if passes the smell test. But what we saw in the health care bill with these promises and these earmarks that were stuck in the bill just so someone would support the bill. That's going to change, and there will be transparency.
Just to be clear, are you saying you'll go for earmarks if you think they're worthy or that you'll try to get the money in a different way?
Well, I think both. I think some of this money should be requested upfront in a budget and not just thrown in at the end. I think that way you plan and there's no deficit spending. The earmark money — is it going to turn into something viable or is it a waste? I think all earmarks are not created equal.
You've talked about shrinking the size of government regarding the Education Department. Should it be abolished?
It sounds so radical, but if you think about it, if you think about how we're paying all these school taxes, how much goes to the federal government, and then it comes back to the districts with all these strings attached. It's almost laundered down there. I went by the Department of Education and I looked at this massive building. How do they know what's best for Syracuse, New York? How do they know what's best for Fowler High School? They don't. It's the local government and the state government that should have more power and more authority, and certainly be the one that handles the money. Communities and the state know what's best for schools.
Will you have town hall meetings?
I'll have a lot of town hall meetings. I'd like to have a town hall meeting a month in the district. ...
Are people in the district going to see a difference in two years because you are the congresswoman?
That's my goal — that they have a feeling and a sense and a belief that I as their representative or their congressman work for them, and that they don't work for Washington — that their issues and their concerns are going to Washington and being heard and that we're going to take some steps to turn things around.
What does it mean to you that you are the area's first congresswoman?
I can't even begin to tell you what an honor it is, what a responsibility you feel. People say, 'Oh, just relax and enjoy it,' but you've transitioned over and you now begin to think about putting your organization together, about being effective, about being a good legislator.
It's remarkable. My father was always my role model, and he's been dead now 2½ years, and I wish he could have been with me for this because he would have loved this journey. But he was the kind of guy who said, you know, you can do whatever you want to do. And I feel like this accomplishment is his as well.

Penguin Tapastry (28" x 26")
$ 49.95
This large size 28" x 26" penguin screened cotton fabric is a beautiful and unique piece. It's got some age spots around the edges and what looks like white paint from the wall it was obviously hung on on one side. But, this stunning penguin scene is on both sides and as you can see from this picture this side is in very nice condition. The vintage of this piece is unknown, but by looking at the fabric / style and the fact that I've never seen anything like this in all my years of collecting penguins, I'd place this as 1960's or 70's. Truly a unique piece of penguin collectible history.

For sale, one aircraft hangar.
Well, that's probably not what will be on the tender when the Town of Stephenville's advertising goes out, but that's exactly what it will amount to.
The building, a vintage aircraft hangar at 263 Carolina Avenue from the days the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base operated in Stephenville, is a large building with time and vandals taking its toll and a costly venture to clad over on the outside.
But for some type of lucrative industry it might be just what's needed, as to erect the same type of building today would likely cost in the millions.
By all accounts it's an eyesore right now and the Stephenville town council is hoping for some entity to purchase it. If that don't happen, council hopes to have it torn down before the end of its four-year mandate in September of 2021.
Coun. Mark Felix, chairman of the town's finance committee, said in the Request for Proposal tender there will be a stipulation that work has to be carried out on the building in a timely manner.
The building has had various uses since the closure of the Ernest Harmon Air Force Base back at the end of 1966, with some of those including: boat building, a cable production factory, the fabrication of pre-built homes for Venezuela, storage and the latest proposed venture was to use the facility for drying out peat moss.
