When an individual is faced with debt and does not have good credit, it can be difficult to be approved for loans. The cheapest loans are usually provided only to people with excellent credit, leaving those who most need money to consolidate debt unable to take advantage of them. No credit check loans provide an alternative and though the loans APR may be higher, it may be worth it.
When those with poor credit search for loans, bank options are usually not suitable. They have restrictive lending practices and offer loans cheapest to people whose credit history is outstanding. Anyone with a poor credit score is often eligible only for high loans apr or may not qualify for any loans. This can lead to frustration because these folks often need the money more than others.
An alternative type of loans cheapest for people in this situation is a payday loan. Some payday loans are actually no credit check loans, meaning that the credit history of the applicant is not reviewed when making an approval decision. These loans often fall into the £80 to £1,500 range, with the amount approved based on the financial standing of the borrower.
This means that individuals with poor credit due to arrears, bankruptcy, or insolvency can be approved and use the loan to improve their credit rating. Applicants get instant approval after verification is completed and within 24 hours, the loan amount will be deposited into their bank accounts. By making loan repayment on time and according to terms, borrowers improve their credit.
Providers of payday loans are often flexible regarding the completion and faxing of loan-related documents. Some do not require documents, while others have only a few simple forms. Thanks to no credit check loans, people with poor credit know money is available and can be used to improve their credit.

I recently finished reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Marier. A tiny bit slow to start but I pushed through to the first 100 pages, reading it out loud to myself to focus, and then it was my jam.
At first, the narrator (whose name is never relieved) was annoying, a pushover and a 21-year-old who was easily persuaded into marrying a 40-year-old man, which I was very bothered by. Come to think of it, I didn't like any of the characters in this book but in a good way. I felt like the main characters were all morally gray (a mix between good and bad) and I love that in a book.
At 200 pages, we were steaming along a well-paced, beautifully written and subtly creepy story, a classic and one that I hope you read. It's definitely worth it.
My rating: 4/5 stars
If you've read Rebecca, what did you think about it?

This whole stock market investing really tests your patience and your greed tolerance. Take for example in this case study where the stock broke in mid 2016 after a long sideways grind between 2015 and 2016. Right off the bat, the stock zipped from 56 to about 63 within a few days. But then … get's stuck in another sideways grind between August and November. Followed by another crazy burst all the way to 75. That's a major move!tster
Now if you're like me and you do this on the side, you may only have time to watch a handful of positions – getting out of a position to find another place to park the money may be difficult. So maybe instead of taking profits, you may be willing to stick in this trade to see how far this stock could go. Because at the end of the day you're not doing all of this just to make a couple hundred bucks. You're doing this with the idea that you're making some sizeable side income.
But how would you know to stay in a trade, or exit? If you did your homework right and you know how to maintain a portfolio, then you can afford to take certain risks. Say for example, if you can move your stop above the price you bought the stock, then essentially this position becomes a riskless position. So you can take the chance of sticking in this move, because all your risking is the profits.
Because what's worse than losing your profits is also losing some of your initial capital and if you don't have any risk on this trade then why not, just see how it goes. The worse that can happen is that you can lose some of your profits.

Super Pin for MK7 Golf, Golf R and GTI
We really love the new MK7 Golfs but the shifter has a couple of places where loose tolerances lead to less than stellar shifting. The result is that the Golf MK7 Shifter performance doesn't match the excellence of the rest of the car. Bring your MK7 shifter up to the level of the MK7 suspension, chassis and ergonomics with the Dieselgeek Super Pin. Our billet aluminum Super Pin replaces the cheap plastic shifter pivot pin and really tightens up the shifting experience!

Step 1: Edit sysctl.conf file
Login into the server as root user and edit the sysctl.conf file. Enter the file in editing mode, we will be using vim editor for this article. You can use any file editor that you want.
# vim /etc/sysctl.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file.
ipv6 = 0
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0
Then save and exit the file.
Step 2: Edit interfaces file
The last file we need to edit is the interfaces file under the path /etc/network/
# vim /etc/network/interfaces
Append the following lines to the file,
iface eth0 inet6 static
pre-up modprobe ipv6
address IPv6-IP-Address
netmask 64
gateway IPv6-IP-Gateway-Address

A mortgage loan is a loan agreement where borrowers put up their property as a guarantee. The borrower agrees to a loan contract in the duration of the mortgage that the home will be kept insured, taxes will be paid, and that the property will be properly maintained. Applying for a mortgage loan when you have poor credit or bad credit may be more difficult, but approvals are possible. Although local banks may be hesitant in approving you, online lenders usually have lower standards and better chances of approval.
Government loans and conventional loans
The two types of mortgage loans available are government loans and conventional loans. Government loans are generally easier to get approval for and may have little or no down payment. The loan terms of government loans also tend to be more agreeable for the borrower compared to conventional loans. Conventional loans, however, have several subtypes including those listed below.
Fixed rate mortgages
Interest rates for fixed rate mortgages are constant throughout the span of the loan. Usually, if you apply for shorter loan terms, your interest rates tend to be lower as well.
Adjustable rate mortgages or ARMs
The interest rates of ARMs depend on the fluctuation of the market. Initial payment is low, but interest rates tend to go up over time. Some loans are combined fixed rate mortgages and ARMs, and some loans can be switched back and forth from the two types.
Balloon loans
Balloon loans are loans wherein you pay the interest rates in the duration of the loan, and when the loan term ends you pay the whole sum of the loan. This type of loan is favorable to those who intend to sell their homes at the end of the loan.
Bridge loans
Bridge loans allow you to refinance your current home until it is sold, and at the same time, you are buying a new home for yourself.
Choose the best bad credit mortgage loan
There are many things you should look out for in bad credit mortgage loans. The most important aspect that people look at when låna med skulder hos Kronofogden is the APR or annual percentage rate. The APR is the summation of interest, extra fees, mortgage insurance, and other costs. For mortgages with variable interest rates, it's best to look at their initial interest rates, the frequency of the interest rate change, how much the rates increase and/or decrease, and how much and how often the repayment terms and amounts may change. Looking at these may aid you in repaying your loan properly, without the risk of delaying and defaulting payments.

Health News of Wednesday, 14 August 2019
Source: www.ghanaweb.com
A Democracy and Development Fellow at CDD-Ghana, Dr. Derrick Edem Akpalu, says the continuous protests and strong pushbacks that clinical trials receive in the country are as a result of a general information gap.
His assertions come on the back of mixed reactions characterised with scepticism and suspicion that met the launch of the world's first malaria vaccine pilot programme in Ghana early this year,
The experienced clinical researcher was contributing as the lead discussant in a roundtable discussion organized by the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD), on the role of Digital and Social Media in improving clinical trial notions in Ghana.
Members of the discussion panel included Clinical Research Coordinator at the Noguchi Memorial Institute, Dr Susan Adu-Amankwah, Deputy Registrar at the Medical and Dental Council, Dr Divine Ndonbi Banyubala and the multiple-award winning health blogger and mental health practitioner, Kelvin Odnkor (Kobby Blay).
Dr Akpalu addressing participants said Ghanaians lack both vital and basic knowledge in the form of information on what clinical trials are, and what they are meant to achieve.
Citing a recent occurrence, he explained that the lack of information related to the malaria vaccine launch did not help the public in making informed decisions, resulting in people making incorrect assertions, especially on social media.
Giving some details he said, "people did not know that the vaccine that was being looked at had been in development for thirty years, people did not know that this drug has been tested in other ways and had gone through a series of tests."
He wondered what the situation would have been if all the details regarding the vaccine were made available to the public.
He called for the need to engage the public on issues related to clinical trials and the need for stakeholders to build "mutualistic relationships."
On social media, Dr Akpalu said, health practitioners need to build their brand on social media, as he sees social media as a resource for practitioners to lead in the provision of accurate information for would be participants and the general public on clinical trials.

Zaanse Schaans is a neighborhood near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It has some well-preserved old windmills.
Getting there:
Get aboard bus # 91 (the bus stop is to the left if you exit Amsterdam Central Station from the front), frequency: 30 minutes, journey time: about 50 minutes.
Nearest Railway Station: Koog-Zaandijk / Zaandam.
You can rent bicycles from Amsterdam Central Station / Zaandam Railway Station. Yes, bicycles travel on trains. It's the Netherlands! Zaanse Schaans can be accessed by ferry from a neighborhood on the other side of the river. Consider this whilst going back.
Zaanse Schaans is open throughout the year. However during the winter, some attractions might be open to the public only during weekends. There is no general admission fee. But entry to a windmill costs 2/3 euro. You can also buy a consolidated pass from the Zaanse Schaans museum.
You'll come upon a photographer making a photo of you as you walk into the windmill area from the bus stop. On your way out, you can purchase a calendar and keychain with your photo on it!
I recommend having a look inside at least a couple of the windmills. Then up climb the ladder to the upper deck and soak in the breathtaking landscape.
I got to meet a couple of gentlemen operating this windmill and gather some firsthand knowledge from them. It's hard work but the technology is amazing. All of the gears etc. are made of wood!
Zaanse Schaans has some beautiful Dutch houses and the oldest Albert Heijn. Albert Heijn is a chain of supermarkets in the Netherlands. I love their brand of chocolates.
There's a cheese farm and a wooden shoe factory. I got to watch them make the cheese and sample all the cheese on offer. The lovely ladies working here are dressed in traditional Dutch costumes. The cost of cheese can be lower than some of the stores in the city of Amsterdam.
This stuff is real good!
There's a wooden shoe factory! One gentleman demonstrates the process of making the famous Dutch shoes; one wooden shoe at a time. A block of wood is fixed to a machine that copies the shape of the template shoe that's also fixed to the machine. The whole process lasts about five to seven minutes. It's an interesting lesson. Don't miss it.
However, in this day and age, the wooden shoes are mass produced.
Zaanse Schaans is one of the most accessible day trips from Amsterdam. I highly recommend a visit to Zaanse Schaans for it has some unique attractions such as breathtaking landscapes, old windmills, cheese farms, the wooden shoe factory and the oldest Albert Heijn; to mention a few. The Zaanse Schaans Museum runs a small cafe that has a restroom. You will also find a public toilet closer to the windmills.

Cutie pie!
So, how does one get the barbie into the cake? Do you shove it in and then ice around it?
Also, this year in early January I'm looking forward to a dramatic recitation video from her, in place of her stellar singing.

I don't know why it's taken me so long to sit down and write this – but my Mom called earlier this week, no surprise, to thank me for the Easter card I sent, customary, and we got into a chat about this n that and she blows me away by saying "You have never disappointed me Cynde". Talk about speechless; this is only the best compliment I could have ever dreamed of from my dear sweet Mommy. I am still sort of floating a bit when I think about what all that means. I'm no spring chicken now which means I've had a lot of years and opportunities to disappoint. Like everyone else and their mother we've had our ups and downs but she was talking big picture – big girl, real life stuff….and I am just still so honored by the sincerity with which she said it. And I got her to repeat it for good measure, hee hee.
I said "Mom, you never have to utter a complimentary word to me again. Nothing tops the gift you just gave me. Thank you, Thank you!!"

Despite the Constitutional Court ruling the that the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will have to take over social grant payment system in the new year, they will have to rely on private contractors once again.
This is after interim chief executive Pearl Bengu said the South Africa Post Office (SAPO) was deemed s not able to meet all its requirements to make the payments.

Social Development Minister Bathabile Dlamini announced on Monday that another procurement process will start this week for services.
Former Constitutional Court judge and Freedom Under Law (FUL) chairperson, Johann Kriegler says that this whole saga is deeply concerning as it effects millions of people's livelihoods. He adds that the way things are being handled is very suspicious.
I smell a very big rat. Either the minister doesn't know what she is doing or she is being misled, or she is misleading us— Johann Kriegler, Former Constitutional Court judge and Freedom Under Law (FUL) chairperson
Kriegler says it is time for the legislature to call on Dlamini to account for the dealings at SASSA and their dealings with the Cash Paymaster Services (CPS). CPS was found to be an illegal service provider by the Constitutional Court.

Someone is playing a very dangerous role with literally the livelihoods of 10 million plus, of the most vulnerable South Africans.— Johann Kriegler, Former Constitutional Court judge and Freedom Under Law (FUL) chairperson
For Bridget Masango, DA Shadow Minister of Social Development the way SASSA went about securing contracts with CPS requires an inquiry.
She adds that Dlamini and SASSAs claims that the SAPO are not able to payout the grants are one sided, as they have yet to speak up for themselves on what they can and can't do. For Masango this makes the minister's dealings very suspicious.
If the minister did not have anything to gain from CPS paying the grants, she would have long gotten rid of CPS.— Bridget Masango, DA Shadow Minister of Social Development

Can you imagine how wonderful life will be for all of us if we focused on our wants, our desires, our pleasures, our goals and not our pain?
Can you imagine how wonderful your life would be like if you could reach your true potential?
It doesn't matter who you are, what experiences you have had, we all can find ourselves stuck, lacking direction and would benefit from understanding what is happening with our thoughts, emotions and behaviours.
Using neuroscience and coaching, you can begin to explore the power of your mind and how to get the best out of it. You can then take control, get your lives onto your own true path and build a vision for your future worth getting excited about.
I first met Alison approximately a year after a major event in my life, and had sessions with her over a six-month period. I was having great difficulty understanding and dealing with the issues caused by the event and was extremely emotional and angry about it. I felt unable to move forward with my life. With Alison's coaching and counselling techniques, I found that they worked very well and very quickly improved my thought processes greatly. The techniques allowed me to set aside the issues to be dealt with at an appropriate time rather than worrying over them constantly. Alison helped me realise I could rationalise and problem solve the issues which greatly reduced my stress levels. Alison has had a really positive affect on my life. Alison's manner, techniques and understanding are exceptional. I found Alison to be very calming, rational, excellent at listening and explaining things in a way I could understand. My confidence and self-belief has improved greatly. Over a year on I still use her techniques today. I can recommend Alison very highly.Jon
I wanted to say thank you. Your help and guidance has helped me so much over the past 12 months. I was so nervous about being pregnant again but I've been practicing your techniques and although I've been very close a few times to another anxiety attack I have managed to keep them at bay. Sometimes I get very stressed but now I've learnt to take a step back from the situation and think why I'm feeling like this and is it necessary as it won't help the situation. I've learnt that although I might be having a bad day today, tomorrow will be a new bright day and I shouldn't get hung up on it. Although I've come a long way I still know I have a lot more work to do but I think turning 30 this year has made me realise that life is too short & I've probably wasted enough time as it is stressing about stuff that really doesn't matter. Thank you again.Jenny

Black Ace Darts
In bars and gambling halls, darts is often played, now you can also try it at home on your computer. Will you face the challenge alone or with your friends? Anything is possible in Black Ace Darts. The two different gaming modes provide variety and this forms a real challenge. In Black Ace Darts, you have 10 arrows available with which you have to get at the center as close as possible. The center of a dartboard is called a bull's eye. If you hit it precisely, you get 50 points. Use the mouse to aim and then shoot your arrows. After a short break-in period you will certainly know when you shoot the arrow correctly. You first of all have to see how the arrows fly, and then you can begin to target more precisely. The goal, of course, is to hit the bull's eye. That is not that easy, however. Even very good dart players, with a lot of experience, sometimes miss the target. In dart, it is about being the best in one's particular gaming mode. There are also events where different players can then compete against each other. To practice for this, Black Ace Darts is just the right game for you. Here, you can get a sense for the arrows as well as the throwing technique as a player. You can show these to your friends on the weekend when you are jointly shooting at a dartboard. They will probably be surprised at how good you are already. Darts is a fascinating sport, you will see how your success rate improves more and more, and you will eventually become a professional. Maybe you will also participate in a competition sometime, in which you can put your new skills to the test.

Bags for spring 2019
Alexander McQueen
For a great first impression, the Alexander McQueen Spring 2019 bag is bound to make the entrance unforgettable. Too elegant with a powerful statement, this bag is a must for all the stylish tycoons out there.
Louis Vuitton
Eccentric and new, Louis Vuitton always has a way to make the brand at the top of the stylish bag game. Offering us in every season a new style and code, this specific bag had us all melting over it.
We're not sure if it's the colors or the dangling fabrics, but Balenciaga spring 2019 bag should be on must-have list for all fashionistas. This bag could literally go with anything, casual and formal, and it has it class in the name tags all over it.
Maryam Nassir Zadeh
This one is for those who are willing to go the extra mile in fashion and try new trends. These types of bracelet bags surely go very well with the Valentino's spring 2019 collection too. These bags give you the perfect balance between simplicity and extravaganza. How practical could these be?
Brandon Maxwell
We call it love at first sight, but we're not sure what we love more, the bag or what's inside it! Transparent bags are a thing this season, and we love house Brandon Maxwell embellished it with a scarf and bold handle.
The classiest of all times, this Chanel bag never fails in loyalty to the fashion house's trademark. The fabric and the designs and colors perfectly blend together to form the ultimate it-bag. The addition of big pearls gives it a more elegant look.
Belt bags are still in, but with a tiny twist. No more simple bag belts, Jacquemus minimized the size of the big carryall bags and transformed it into a bag belt in a very vogue way. We love the colors and the leather. In addition, the obvious handle gives the look a more in-depth fashion statement.
Sonia Rykiel
Put it behind your bag and go! In such a free way, Sonia Rykiel designed the most practical and stylish bag for the season. The color makes your outfit pop and the way it's wrapped around you makes you look more confident and sure of yourself.

In Daniel v. City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed course and rejected the legal standard established 30 years ago under employment law in Karst v. F.C. Hayer Co., 447 N.W.2d 180 (Minn. 1989). Before Daniel, and for the past 3 decades, employment law in Minnesota did not allow an employee or former employee to pursue a discrimination, harassment, or retaliation claim against an employer while also pursuing a workers compensation claim. The courts rationalized this limit on enforcing workplace-related civil rights based on the idea that workers compensation law somehow provided the "exclusive" remedies for workplace-related harm.
In Daniel, the Minnesota Supreme Court corrected the analytical error that has prevented employees until now from obtaining back pay damages, emotional distress damages, and other remedies under the Minnesota Human Rights Act, Minn. Stat. §§ 363A.01, et seq., for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace. In that case, the Minnesota Supreme Court recognized the simple and clear truth that physical harm because of a work-related accident is separate and distinct from the economic and emotional harm because of the work-related intentional act of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation.
Importantly in Daniel, the plaintiff asserted a disability discrimination claim after pursuing a workers compensation claim regarding a work-related injury that made him disabled for purposes of the discrimination claim. Nonetheless, the Minnesota Supreme ruled that the earlier workers compensation award to the plaintiff does not prevent him from pursuing his disability discrimination claim because that claim is separate and distinct from his earlier workers compensation claim. That said, the Minnesota Supreme Court also made clear in Daniel that employees and former employees cannot receive a double recovery based on this change in employment law. In particular, and to the extent a plaintiff pursues both civil rights and workers compensation claims against an employer, any given employer cannot be held responsible for the same conduct or consequences of that conduct under both civil rights law and workers compensation law.

Library refreshes furniture
November 1, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The downstairs area of the high school library replaced its furniture this school year. According to Library Media Specialist Nancy Carlson, the Board of Education reviews building furniture at the high school approximately every 10 years. Following their assessment of the high school library, whose furniture has remained unchanged for at least 15 years or so, the Board decided to approve the purchase of new furniture.
Students can now use brand new tables and chairs located throughout the first floor including high top tables and high chairs in the rear, new tables, and chairs in the central area of the library, as well as new chairs in the computer section. A semicircular, red sofa is now available in the corner of the computer section.
Furthermore, the new low tables with cube seats will gain builtin charging capabilities this coming January. Much of the new furniture is lighter and easier to transport and store than the furniture they replaced. ". . . these tables . . . the tops flip up and they stack, so they don't take up as much room. Plus, they're not nearly as heavy," Carlson said.
The new chairs are able to provide more give as students lean back. Assistant Superintendent of Schools Kimberly Wynne asked Carlson to select the new furniture. To help her determine what to purchase, Carlson consulted with Library Media Specialist Alysson Olsen at Irving A. Robbins Middle School (IAR). Last year, IAR renovated their library and also replaced their furniture.
After visiting IAR, Carlson purchased the same tables found in the middle school library from the Robert H. Lord Company based in Manchester, Connecticut. Carlson had considered potential furniture purchases in the past. During the planning process for a potential new high school, Carlson and former Department Leader of Library, Media, and Technology K-12 Martha Burr looked into more modern furniture for the media center of the proposed school building.
With regard to the altered furnishings in the current library, Carlson has received positive feedback.
"I was actually pretty surprised at first . . . But then, I kind of got used to it. And it's actually much better," senior Amy Xu said.
The mezzanine of the library did not receive new furniture.

Did SAU's Comics Class Pass Or Fail?
On Saturday October 20th, Saint Ambrose University Library hosted a "Comics Gaming Entertainment" event (https://libguides.sau.edu/c.
I had friends setting up at the event, so I decided I'd pop over and see what was on offer. I've never been to Saint Ambrose before, even though a friend of mine spent his college years there. So after finding the library, mostly through luck. I walked into the Saint Ambrose library to see what was on offer that morning.
After walking through the front doors the first thing I noticed was five tables set up in the main hallway. Starting from my right was the registration table for the costume contest and, I guess you'd call it a lottery. They had a cork board, or something like it, poked with holes with lollipops sticking out of them. You won if the lollipop you pulled from the board had a marked stick. Which I did. So, I got to pick an item from the prize table. The problem was that most of the stuff they had on offer was just a bunch of random college paraphernalia with the Saint Ambrose logo and or mascot slapped on it. The one thing that jumped out at me was Fred Van Lente's The Con Artist, his novel about a comic book artist accused of killing a rival at San Diego Comic Con. The problem is that I already own The Con Artist, don't need a second copy and hoped that if someone else won they'd take the novel so that others can enjoy it. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm a big fan of Van Lente's comic book work. I especially recommend his Comic Book History of Comics; his history of the comic book medium done as a comic book.
Next to the registration table was the Derry Public Radio podcast, which is a podcast devoted to the works of Stephen King. I've read some of King's work, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. Next up was Midnight Mausoleum, which was one of the big draws for me. I was behind on a few of their DVD releases, so I was glad to see them and catch up with releases. Finally there was Mellow Blue Planet, my personal go to comic book store of the Quad Cities.
Next to the Mellow Blue table was a sign pointing down a row of book shelves where more tables had been placed. Cookies by Angie, selling, you guessed it, cupcakes. No, it was cookies. Next to them was What's That Funk, a local entertainment production company, selling copies of their comic Battle of the Xybermorphs and talking about the Planet Funk Con they put on in June and talking up the convention they're planning for next year. Next to them was the Ambrose role-playing game club and on the opposite end of the room was PARADIGM, a local VR gaming group. Next to the VR group was a woman with some kind of crafts table. I'm not into crafts, so I didn't stop to see what was on offer.
The SAU website shows several more vendors, but I never saw them at the convention. I was told after the fact that they were behind the registration table and down a row of bookshelves, but I don't remember seeing a sign for any of them, so I didn't go looking. Another problem they had was that I didn't see many people there. One of the organizers even joked that it's a college so the students aren't getting up until noon, which makes me wonder why they didn't start things at noon. If that wasn't an option then I question why they only had the event for four hours. Given the statement about sleeping habits it might make sense to have the event for longer then four hours to allow people the time to check out this event. I also heard that once things where over they wanted all the vendors out right quick. Easy for some vendors, not so for others.
I hope Ambrose tries this again. I want this to be a learning experience even if the event itself was underwhelming. I'd love to see the other colleges in the area try something like this. You sometimes hear them talk about popping the bubble college campus' have with the communities and events like this are a good way of doing that.
Ryan Franks has been into comics for as long as he can remember. He first started collecting back in 1993.It didn't become an obsession until 2009, but still remains one...

The Tools I Use
Starting with my next post, I'm beginning a periodic series of posts about some of the tools I use. I'll include one or two of these posts a month, interleaving them with other content.
I've read a lot of posts about the tools people use and how they use them. These posts have helped me improve my game and I'd like to pay that forward.
Also, I'd like to give credit where credit is due to the people who have created tools that make my life better. If my writing about their tools brings them a wider audience and more love, that's a good thing.
I hope you find something useful in this series.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Feb 3:
The Adivasi Mela (tribal fair) currently on in the Odisha Capital has proved to be a big hit among the women of the city, who flock to the venue in large numbers every evening to get a taste of tribal produces and experience tribal living.
The fair that began of January 26 and is scheduled to run till February 9 showcases a wide variety of forest produces, tribal delicacies and their great cultural heritage. The cultural programs organized every evening add to the excitement of lakhs of visitors who throng the fair every evening.
Forest products such as Kuchinda chilli, Chatikana turmeric, Putasingh peas, Mudulipada black pepper, Nabarangpur fragrant rice, Neem and Karanj oil made by the Lodha tribe and herbal tea stalls are the most popular ones among the visitors.
The city women are convinced about the products on offer at the Mela as no chemicals are used in producing or harvesting them.
Some of the stalls at the fair erected to give the visitors an experience of tribal living are proving to be quite popular. Foreign tourists, interstate tourists and local visitors are quite often seen getting photos clicked there.
Timbadedi of Kutia tribe, Sauntighar, Santal Ghar, Kirsan Ghar, Majang, Juang Kudia, Nishani Munda of Paraja tribe, Ho Ghar, Gadba Kudia, Koya Ghar, Selani Dingo of Bonda tribe and houses of Paudi Bhuyan tribes are the most popular ones. Representatives of tribes are seen guiding the visitors and answering their queries cheerfully.
The fair, organized near the busy Sishu Bhvan square of the city, causes huge traffic congestion every evening. The parking situation gets even worse as VIPs throng the festival every evening.
Many visitors express unhappiness over the parking arrangements and suggest that the fair be moved to a larger area with better infrastructure next time.

A painted house
Today some of the walls in my house got repainted so I had to tend the workers, although all I did was playing the recently released Devil Summoner 2 on PS2 in my room (it's a good game, I'm tellin' ya). At the afternoon when those walls had been freshly painted white, there struck my nose that unique smell of new house coming from the walls, that brought me back nostalgic feelings of… something I can't remember. My sense of smell has always been slightly sensitive to stuffs, and I relate some of my past memories with certain smells. For this one though, probably it's one of the better times — it brought back some sense of security, like snugging back into my bed in the morning to sleep in. Maybe it's after my house was renovated some 5-6 years ago. Maybe it's just a déjà vu. I hate it when your senses told you that the memories are right there, but your mind really can't recall anything. Was my nose lying?
edit: 2.46 am, now I remember it. Exactly, it was the smell of Aisha's house, how could I forgot? That sure brought back memories… ah, now I overload my emotional capacity. And if after this halftime MU still can't overcome Barca's defense then I'm losing a little bet with Ahtar.

Yesterday was Good Shepherd Sunday. In the day's reading (John 10:11-18), Jesus declares, "I am the good shepherd…" While this metaphor is rich in cultural and spiritual content, the focus of Father Chuck's sermon was the sound of the voice, and how the sheep respond when they hear it.
Sheep are difficult to herd, he points out. I once tried to help a friend herd three sheep back into their enclosure. A long, difficult task! If you have ever watched sheepdogs do their thing, it is clear those dogs work very hard to get the sheep where they need to go! The thing about sheep (and chickens!) is that they are followers. Once they connect the sound of your voice to food, shelter or care, the voice guides them where they need to go. Shepherds of long ago guided flocks of dozens up and down the rocky hillsides, leading (not herding) them to water, to safe pastures, away from harm.
Father Chuck also pointed out that there would be several herds at watering places; likely hundreds of intermixed sheep vying for water. How to get your own sheep out of the mix? You call them. They hear the sound of your voice, they follow that sound.
The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his flock (John. 10:11). In Sunday School pictures, the shepherd David fights off wild animals to protect his sheep. This is the image Jesus offers, to make his point: I will die for you. You can trust me. When I call, you can follow with full confidence in my love for you.
In times of trouble, people often wonder, "How could God let this happen?" Feeling lost in the wilderness, it sometimes takes intense listening and attention to hear that voice that says, "I am with you, I love you, I will get you through this." This voice is heard in the heart. In order to hear it, one must intently attune to the energy of the heart.
Faith is the quality of assurance that the call has been issued, that the heart will hear, that the ear, the mind and the will, in the appropriate time, will also hear the call, know the deeper truth, and gladly hearken to the voice of spirit. And embrace another sweet vision; the tiny lamb, tenderly carried home on the gentle shoulder of the Good Shepherd.

The effect of pH, grain size, and organic ligands on biotite weathering rates

Biotite dissolution rates were determined at 25 °C, at pH 2–6, and as a function of mineral composition, grain size, and aqueous organic ligand concentration. Rates were measured using both open- and closed-system reactors in fluids of constant ionic strength. Element release was non-stoichiometric and followed the general trend of Fe, Mg > Al > Si. Biotite surface area normalised dissolution rates (ri) in the acidic range, generated from Si release, are consistent with the empirical rate law: ri=kHiaH+xi where kH,i refers to an apparent rate constant, aH+aH+ designates the activity of protons, and xi stands for a reaction order with respect to protons. Rate constants range from 2.15 × 10−10 to 30.6 × 10−10 (molesbiotite m−2 s−1) with reaction orders ranging from 0.31 to 0.58. At near-neutral pH in the closed-system experiments, the release of Al was stoichiometric compared to Si, but Fe was preferentially retained in the solid phase, possibly as a secondary phase. Biotite dissolution was highly spatially anisotropic with its edges being ~120 times more reactive than its basal planes. Low organic ligand concentrations slightly enhanced biotite dissolution rates. These measured rates illuminate mineral–fluid–organism chemical interactions, which occur in the natural environment, and how organic exudates enhance nutrient mobilisation for microorganism acquisition.

Signs and Symptoms of Clogged Arteries
Clogged arteries can lead to heart attacks and strokes and are responsible for countless cases of disabilities and deaths each year. I recently had an aunt die of a heart attack. She was healthy and active outwardly, so it was a shock to learn of her passing away so suddenly. A couple of years back, I had a young acquaintance suffer a stroke; he was just 30. Clogged arteries increase the likelihood of formation of blood clots, which can either partially or completely block arteries supplying blood to the brain or heart muscle. The medical name for clogged arteries is atherosclerosis and other names by which this condition is known are CAD or coronary artery disease, heart disease, hardening or narrowing of arteries and ischemic heart disease. Clogged arteries are a result of plaque formation on the inner walls of arteries (see illustration). Plaque is composed primarily of fatty substances, cholesterol and calcium.
What Causes Clogged Arteries
There are certain risk factors that can lead you to have clogged arteries. Some of these are,
- High levels of LDL cholesterol (also called bad cholesterol) in the blood.
- Smoking. This never helps and is a risk factor for many health conditions. Consider quitting seriously. Passive smoking or being exposed to secondhand smoke is just as dangerous, so take steps to ensure you are not exposed to it. Smoking damages blood vessels, raises blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Smoking also interferes with the oxygenation process by constricting blood vessels and also makes your heart work faster as a consequence.
- Obesity.
- Lack of physical activity.
- High blood sugar levels.
- Elevated levels of the protein called CRP or C-reactive protein may also be an indicator of possible clogged arteries/plaque formation.
- Family history of heart disease.
- High blood pressure, which is defined as blood pressure staying consistently over 140/90 over a period of time.
If you have any of the conditions above, you should be watchful for the signs and symptoms of clogged arteries described below.
Clogged Arteries or Atherosclerosis Signs and Symptoms
Unless you know what to look for, you might not even know if you could potentially have clogged arteries. Some of the symptoms are,
- Angina or chest pain. This might feel like a squeezing pain or pressure sensation in your chest, heaviness behind the sternum or breast bone, a sense of impending doom. The pain can radiate to your shoulders, arms, back or jaw. It is also activity related, meaning that it tends to get worse during activities and tends to go away when you rest. It can also be brought on by any emotional stressors.
- Shortness of breath/fatigue is another common symptom. If you get short of breath easily or find it difficult to breathe, it could indicate a potential clogged artery.
It is important to note that people with clogged arteries may experience these symptoms progressively over time as the arteries begin to clog up. When the arteries start narrowing up more, the severity of these symptoms may become more pronounced. It is quite unfortunate that many people tend to dismiss these warning signs - it generally is what makes the difference between timely medical intervention and treatment and suffering a fatal heart attack or disabling stroke.
It is important to note too that some people may not experience any symptoms; however, if the symptoms exhibit themselves, it is important that you don't go into denial mode and put away a visit to your doctor's office.
Treatment - Ways You Can Slow or Reverse Clogging of Arteries
Clogged arteries can be treated using many different treatment modalities. Some of these can include,
Eating a Heart-Healthy Diet: In short, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, a diet high in soluble fiber such as oatmeal, whole grains, legumes such as kidney beans, chick peas. Eating fish also has heart-healthy benefits as they are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can protect your heart from blood clot formation, thereby reducing the risk of heart attacks. You should also eat a diet low in salt.
Lifestyle Modifications: This can involve giving up smoking, losing weight, increasing your physical activity, decreasing your stress levels by taking up Yoga or meditation or other relaxation techniques.
Taking Medications: Your doctor may prescribe medications that can help prevent blood clots, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It is important though that you take these medications regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
It Is Never Too Late - Take Action Now And Be Proactive Now
When I think of my aunt, who I was very close to and who passed away from a heart attack recently, I just cannot stop thinking of the fact that a proactive approach on her part or those around her could have saved her life. She had high blood sugar and blood pressure issues, but she would tend to take that within her stride. Also, if only she knew what the symptoms were that should be taken seriously and had sought medical help sooner. I came to know later from friends and relatives that she was feeling uneasy the previous day and was feeling short of breath and declined taking the steps to the house, when she visited her sister. The next morning too, she had chest pain and was sweating heavily.
I guess she kept those symptoms from those around her, until it was too late. It is quite unfortunate though that she didn't have anyone around her in the days preceding, who could have identified these symptoms as being serious enough to warrant a thorough medical checkup. I still can't believe she's gone. I hope though that those who read this hub get a few pointers on what to watch for, be it you personally or friends or relatives around you. It is all about the timing. The sooner you identify the problem, the more time you have to take steps to fight it. Don't be in denial mode - see your doctor right away in case you experience the above signs and symptoms. Do remember that this is not a definitive health guide, so do talk to your doctor to learn more about what you need to watch out for and what steps to take. Use this article as a primary guide only.

This has happened to me twice. I put it off as something else cause I'm quite young. It just happened again and I googled the symptoms. This came up and Im scheduling an appointment tomorrow. Thank you.
Thank you Shil1978.....very interesting hub. I suffered from just those symptoms 3 years ago and luckily visited my doctor immediately. Within two days I had 2 stents put in two arteries and had given up smoking. I have not wanted or thought of a cigarette since I had the stents put in. I now walk and play tennis without getting short of breath.
I try to follow a heart healthy diet, but life sometimes gets in the way. Thanks for reminding me to be more cautious with my health. This is a great hub.
Thanks for the info, and sorry about your aunt. =< The sad thing is, even if some people knew about this, they still refused to change their old habits. We're so used to our unhealthy lifestyle that it's so hard to switch to healthy foods, to quit smoking, and to be physically active. It takes a lot of determination to live healthy.
Thank you for writing this, and reminding us to be alert. The information is very clear and well written. Writing about the signs will help others.
Well written hub about a subject we need to pay more attention to. All too often we ignore the signs, often paying attention until it's too late. Great advice.
Coronary artery disease is definitely a silent killer.
Like your aunt, all my friends and family thought I was pretty healthy. At 51 I participated in sports, ran, lifted weights and kept very active. I was about 10 pounds overweight but it didn't concern me much. But I had high cholesterol and I wasn't paying attention to it. I made a visit with my family doctor because I was having heartburn and over the counter medications weren't helping. I also noticed I was having a bit more trouble completing my runs. I just thought it was because I was getting older; you can't run like a 20 year old forever. Imagine my shock when my doctor sent me to the emergency ward! Tests indicated I had a minor heart attack. I was kept in hospital for more test which revealed blocked coronary arteries: 85%, 90% and 75%. I underwent bypass surgery within a week of entering the hospital.
It's been a year and a half since my surgery. I'm back to running and lifting weights. I feel pretty much back to normal except for the occasional pain from my incision.
What I've been through shows that anyone can have clogged arteries and not even know it. If you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure don't ignore it. If you have frequent bouts of heartburn see a doctor. Failure to act could kill you.
Nice Hub--I hope you have time to read my Hub on Zetia/a medication frequently given for high blood fat levels. It nearly put me in the hospital and has a wealth of lawsuits against it due to permanent damage it can cause. I am now taking fish oil, garlic tablets and writing down everything I eat in a food diary.
Shil1078 - you put things down so coherently. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle has so much to answer for!
This is a great article, an eye opener to so many of us unaware of the symptoms of an impending heart attack. Knowing is not enough,we need to take action to be proactive . Thanks for sharing.
You write so clearly and lucidly. I frequently find I start an article such as the above and then push it away half way though because it just isn't interesting enough or relevant. I enjoyed the lot. Thank you.
