All photos captioned in white pencil on the mounts. Original green cloth "Newlyn" album, slightly rubbed on the extremities. About 40 images faded, one photo with creases and tears, but overall a very good album. Interesting collection of original snapshots documenting a travel of a group of British officers and officials around Kashmir and the Northwestern Frontier during the last stage of the WW1. The first part of the travel started at the Bhurban camp (Punjab, modern Pakistan), from where the party drove up the Jhelum Valley road to Srinagar; among the snapshots are views of villages and locals in Kohala, Chinar, and Rampur. A series of Srinagar views numbers over twenty images, showing Amira Kadal Bridge in its initial wooden state (in was reconstructed in concrete in 1982), the Bund and the post office, Srinagar museum and banqueting hall, Maharaja's Palace, 3rd Bridge and Hari Parbat fort, Hari Singh's Palace, local dwellings named "the Shanks" et al; several views depict the Dal Lake and famous Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh gardens nearby. There are also vivid portraits of Kargil peasants and local children named "mudlarks." The second leg of the travel was a hike to the Harmukh Mountain in northwestern Himalayas. Over 30 images illustrate the undertaking, with stunning views of the Tsurlat Pass, mountain ranges nearby, the Harmukh Mountain with its glaciers, Wangat Nala and ruins of a Hindu temple; portraits of coolies and the British travellers crossing streams, resting in camp and taking notes. The photos taken on the way back include views of Ganderbal and the Sind River, Lake Manesbal, Chinar Bagh, Takht-i-Suleiman Mountain, a bank of Jhelum showing old Kashmir road, portraits of Pathan peasants (Pashtuns), a marauder in the Bhurban camp, a caravan of "Barbary camels on a long journey" and others. Overall a very interesting collection. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Photo Album - Kut - Iraq - India
Iraq & India, 1917. Basra and Kut-Al-Amara in Iraq, Bombay in India, 1916-1917. Album of photographs relating in part to the definitive Second Battle of Kut, a soldier who served the British Army in the Middle East Theatre of the First World War, and previously in Bombay. Contains 108 photographs, mostly gelatin silver prints, some black and white, mounted recto and verso onto cardstock leaves, many captioned in manuscript. [An additional 58 post-war family photographs taken after returning to England are found at the end of the volume]. Oblong 8vo. album measuring approximately 30 x 18 cm, black cloth boards string-tied within. Ownership signature to front pastedown is faint but dated 1917. Photographs vary in size, most measuring approximately 6 x 4 cm, the largest measuring 10 x 6 cm. Occasional images and captions fading, otherwise in Very Good Condition, numerous striking images from an important campaign in the Middle East. Images suggest that the soldier was with 1/9th Battalion Middlesex Regiment, which sailed 30 October 1914 from Southampton for India, arrived in Bombay 2 December 1914, and was subsequently moved to Mesopotamia, arriving at Basra on 24 November 1917 to join the 53rd Brigade of the 18th Indian Division. It remained in that theatre until the end of the war. Approximately 75 photographs are from Iraq; approxmiately 33 are from India. General Maude's restored army persevering in unfavourable conditions to advance and re-capture Kut, a definitive and redeeming assault by the British, which facilitated the subsequent capture of Baghdad, is surely the highlight of these uncommon wartime snapshot photographs. [After the demoralizing defeat of the Siege of Kut Al Amara, a new commander was given charge. General Maude, re-organised and trained his mixed British and Indian forces, then launched a successful campaign on the night of 13/14 December 1916. Employing approximately 50,000 men organised in two corps on both banks of the River Tigris, a steady series of victories led to the capture of Baghdad on 11 March 1917. Progress had been slow however, on account of heavy rain and an overriding concern to minimise casualties, but when Bagdhad was captured, British administration began vital reconstruction of the war-torn country; Kut was slowly rebuilt.] The album begins in the Basra Governorate of southern Iraq with British soldiers in uniform standing admidst palm trees, a rudimentary Arab water well system, a hospital ship, and a view of the mouth of Shatt al-Arab River (also known as Arvand Rud) in the Arabian Gulf, which is formed by the confluence of the Euphrates and the Tigris in the town of al-Qurnah. Several images pertain to Kut-Al-Amara (now named Wasit), and the arduous approach of General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude and his new army as they reconquered Kut on February 23, 1917. Images show the extreme discomfort and additional labour caused by heavy rains, such as setting up camps and trekking through the mud. A long curved trench void of soldiers is captioned "12 o'clock House No. 32" and the purpose-built field railway is shown with open cars conveyng soldiers while others guard the track. After having penetrated and controlled the town, fascinating cityscape photographs show, among other things, white army tents erected in and amongst the square stone buildings with thatched rooftops. Also important in terms of the Mesopotamian Campaign and piquing interest in Arab life, photographs are taken in Basra and the neighbouring Al-Ashar district. Along the banks of Ashar Creek, a major thoroughfare, are large mud dwellings and other structures, a refinery, cafés and the famous bazaar, and an entrance to an American hospital. Covered merchant boats and dhows (sailboats) are seen on the river, and at least one view shows Whitely Bridge, the chief bridge at Ashar, which had a portion that raised for passing boats. In the city of Basra, he photographs a procession of numerous Arab men, and "3.G.G.H. Basra" (No.3 British General Hospital Basra) which had 1040 beds. The bazaar on Ashar creek was a central location, for the townspeople, and also for the foreign armies; Turkish prisoners apprehended in 1917, for example, were taken along Ashar Creek and brought to shore there. [The Imperial War Museum holds similar photographs of the Ashar Creek bazaar from the same period]. Camp was also setup at Magil or Magill for a time, also in the region Al Basrah, where photographs show a row of tents in the desert landscape, a mounted regiment, and soldiers falling back. Previous to the Mesopotamia campaign, the soldier was in India. Photographs of Bombay capture indegenous people in various scenes of labour and leisure, an elephant transporting people, an outdoor bazaar, and the like. Historic buildings include a colonial hospital, the Lady Hardinge War Hospital, Victoria Station, and Bombay Station. Further inland to Nasik (Nashik), he takes some lovely photographs of a non-industrialized community. Bullocks treading corn, an ox-driven cart coming through the old town gate, a public bathing pool for men, an idol perched on a street corner, and a temple in the background behind a washing pool, are some of the scenes. In the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, the battalion evidentently stayed at the hill station town of Ooty (Udhagamandalam or Ootacamund) and Hill Camp at Wellington. British occupation of Mesopotamia (1914-1922) In 1914, the British invaded Iraq (then called Mesopotamia) to protect their oil interests and what began as a very limited military expedition resulted in a 44 year military/political involvement, during which they fought a 12 year insurgency. Their involvement suffered from intelligence failures, Sunni-Shia rivalry, a Kurdish independence movement, a weak central government, looting and crime, inadequate infrastructure, and so on. Known as the Mesopotamian Campaign, fighting commenced with the Battle of Basra in 1914 and continued for the duration of the war. The most notable action was the Siege of Kut, which resulted in the surrender of the British and British Indian Army garrison of the town in April 1916, after a siege of 147 days. Of 11,800 Allied soldiers who survived to be made prisoners; 4,250 died of disease or at the hands of their Ottoman guards during captivity. The Siege of Kut al-Amarah, or the First Battle of Kut, 7 December 1915 to 29 April 1916, was at the time described as "the greatest humiliation to have befallen the British army in its history". For the Turks and Germans however it was a significant morale booster, and undoubtedly weakened British influence in the Middle East. [Kut-Al-Amara (now named Wasit) is a city in eastern Iraq, on the left bank of the Tigris River, about 160 kilometres (99 miles) south east of Baghdad, and was the scene of a fierce battle during World War I.] The Second Battle of Kut was fought on 23 February 1917, between British and Ottoman forces at Kut, Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). The battle was part of the British advance to Baghdad, by a 50,000-man British force organised in two army corps, which began in December 1916 and led to the capture of Baghdad. Led by British General Frederick Stanley Maude, the forces recaptured the city of Kut al-Amarah. Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Stanley Maude KCB, CMG, DSO (1864 - 1917) was a British commander, famous for his efforts in Mesopotamia during World War I and for conquering Baghdad in 1917. In World War I, Maude first served in France. In August he was given charge of the 13th Division in Suvla. The 13th suffered heavy casualties retreating from Suvla and landing and later evacuating from Helles before being shifted to Mesopotamia in March 1916. He was the last man evacuated. Maude arrived at Mesopotamia to catch the end of the British failure at the Siege of Kut where he was promoted to Lieutenant-General, replacing General George Gorringe as commander of the newly dubbed Tigris Corps (III Indian Army Corps) in July 1916. Despite being instructed to do no more than hold the existing line, Maude set about to re-organising and re-supplying his mixed British and Indian forces. He was made commander of all Allied forces in Mesopotamia in late July 1916, replacing Sir Percy Lake. Given reinforcements and more equipment, Maude directed his force in a steady series of victories. Advancing up the Tigris and winning the battles of Mohammed Abdul Hassan, Hai and Dahra in January 1917, recapturing Kut in February 1917, he took Baghdad on 11 March 1917. A week later, on 19 March, General Maude issued the Proclamation of Baghdad, which stated, "Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators". Some 9,000 Ottoman troops were caught in the confusion and became prisoners of the British. From Baghdad, he launched the Samarrah Offensive and extended his operations to the Euphrates and Diyala rivers. In November his forces were engaged at Ramadi and Tikrit when he became ill from cholera and died. Mount Maude, a peak in the Cascade Range, was named for Frederick Maude. In 2003, the British military headquarters in Baghdad's Green Zone was named "Maude House". Maude is buried in Baghdad (North Gate) War Cemetery. He is also noted on a memorial in Brompton Cemetery, London. Mesopotamia refers to the area of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, and corresponds to modern-day Iraq, the northeastern section of Syria and to a much lesser extent southeastern Turkey, smaller parts of southwestern Iran and Kuwait. Widely considered to be the cradle of civilization in the West, Bronze Age Mesopotamia included Sumer and the Akkadian, Babylonian, and Assyrian empires, all native to the territory of modern-day Iraq.. Very Good.

Wallpaper Sample Folio
Germany 1917 - German wallpaper book featuring Art Nouveau or Jugendstil era wallpapers, with base papers presented in sets with suggested borders and/or complementary papers. No company name given. Date stamped on FEP. The thick folio is comprised with well over 100 sets of paper, or full panels, with sets including up to a half dozen other papers cut in small dimensions. These small swatches are every bit as interesting as the large samples, and the combinations implied should also have interest for what they have to say about decorative taste of the era. The patterns contained herein offer an intriguing mix of those that would widely be regarded as dated today and others that are very much akin to papers currently available. It is impossible to generalize about these papers which include stripes, florals, , geometrics, and combinations of these. Perhaps one point that can be distilled is that a certain formality tends to pervade the papers notwithstanding the languidity thought to characterize Art Nouveau, but this merely demonstrates that tastes did not move in lockstep with heralded fashionable movements when it came to domestic decoration. Over 13 inches tall and 9 inches across, the folio is in very good state of preservation. There are two papers which are torn with only small portions remaining by the spine, and it is possible other papers have vanished, although it should be apparent the total amount of loss can not much exceed that which has occurred since the binder is quite full. Soome light shelf wear and rubbing to the boards which are a patterned paper paste-down.

With the Grand Fleet. From the Collection Presented to the British Museum by His Majesty's Government.
Country Life, 1917. - Large folio [32 x 24 inches]. Consisting of title sheet, contents sheet and six tinted lithographs numbered I - VI in a stiff paper portfolio as issued. The 6 lithographs are: I. H.M.S. "Lion" in Dry Dock. II. On Board a Battle-Cruiser (H.M.S. "Lion"). III. A Battleship at Night. IV. Inside the Turret. V. "Oiling": A Battleship Taking in Oil Fuel at Sea. VI. The Boiler Room of a Battleship. A little softening of the lower corners of the covers but an excellent copy. Bone was the first Official War Artist, being appointed in May 1916. His major contribution was the two volume collection' The Western Front' and 'With the Grand Fleet'. Less well-known were these very large lithographs, probably published in relatively small numbers and obviously intended for framing. The quality of the reproduction is superior to the book versions of his drawings and they rarely turn up for sale. It is believed that only two series were issued, this one and the companion 'Munition Drawings', also offered for sale.

The Quest Of Mary Selwyn Sequel to Uncle Frank's Mary
NY: Benziger Brothers. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1917. Hardcover. Second book in the Mary Selwyn series which became so popular that two other, smaller books were later written to explain what led Mary to where she began. "Uncle Frank's Mary" (the first book in the series) is also available. Light soil on boards, top edge "dusty". There is a very faint stain along top edge of a few pages in some signatures, but not all, leading me to believe the stain occurred prior to binding. However, there is a stain on rear board that permeates onto rear endpapers. Fade spots on spine. Nevertheless, a very good clean tight binding which matches binding of the first book in the series, "Uncle Frank's Mary". . Mary Selwyn Series; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 245 pages; 26788 .

Hajdanába, régös-régön. [Long, Long Time Ago.]
Táltos (Világosság), Budapest 1917 - With 16 full page illustrations. First edition. Title page in red and black. Initials printed in red. In original illustrated hard paper. Presentation copy. 12 p. and 16 plates. This work of Toroczkai-Wigand starts with a short poem, the national epic of the Székelys (Hungarian people in Transylvania), about Prince Csaba, the youngest son of Attila, the King of the Huns and his mother, Réka. The 16 illustrations are showing the buildings and the interiors related to the story, in the special Transylvanian Art Nouveau style. Ede Toroczkai-Wigand (1869-1945) was a Hungarian architect and designer of decorative art. The thoughts of John Ruskin and the Arts and Crafts Movement had a major influence on him. Toroczkai-Wigand had the idea that art, architecture, folk customs and language is a complex structure and this complexity and "holism" reflecting in the unique character of his works. Beside being a prolific architect and designer, who was awarded at many international exhibitions (Paris, 1900; Torino, 1902; St. Louis, 1904), Toroczkai-Wigand published bibliophilic books, partly on his art and partly about the art, architecture and the folk tales of the Székelys in Transylvania. In these publications he combined the content and the typography of the print into a special unity, in the manner of the unique Transylvanian Art Nouveau style.

The Unholy Three
New York: John Lane Company. 1917. First. First edition. Fine in lovely near fine example of the dustwrapper with a tear on the rear panel, tiny nicks at the extremities, and with old tape repairs professionally removed leaving shadows only on the inside of the jacket. Housed in an attractive, albeit loosely-fitting clamshell case. Creepy crime novel about a team of circus freaks: Tweedledee, a midget, Hercules, the strong man, and Echo, the ventriloquist, who commit heinous crimes. Filmed twice by MGM, as a silent in 1925 and remade as a talkie with Lon Chaney as Echo and Henry Earles as Tweedledee in both versions. Victor McLaughlin played Hercules in the silent version, Ivan Linow in the talkie. In the classic Tod Browning cult film Freaks, also based on the Robbins story "Spurs" that was clearly derivative from The Unholy Three, Earles reprised his midget role, there was a strongman named Hercules, and a few other freaks were thrown into the mix. Rare in jacket, and never seen in this condition. .

After negative experiences with other companies, reviewers praised Silver Cloud for their helpful approach and willingness to work with them. Loans between $300 and $1,000 are available online through an easy four-step process. Oklahoma customers praised the quick process, but some noted customer service could be more clear in explaining the re-payment amounts.
1. All loans subject to approval pursuant to standard underwriting criteria. Rates and terms will vary depending upon the state where you reside. Not all consumers will qualify for a loan or for the maximum loan amount. Terms and conditions apply. Loans should be used for short-term financial needs only, and not as a long-term solution. Customers with credit difficulties should seek credit counseling. ACE Cash Express, Inc. is licensed by the Department of Business Oversight pursuant to Financial Code Section 23005(a) of the California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law. Loans in Minnesota made by ACE Minnesota Corp. Loans in Ohio arranged by FSH Credit Services LLC d/b/a ACE Cash Express, CS.900100.000, and made by, and subject to the approval of, an unaffiliated third party lender. Loans in Texas arranged by ACE Credit Access LLC and made by, and subject to the approval of, an unaffiliated third party lender.

Bad credit loans typically have higher interest rates and shorter loan terms than loans offered to people with good credit. Standard bad credit loan terms are two to five years with an average annual percentage rate of 25 percent, according to Bankrate. In comparison, personal loans for those with good credit typically have term lengths from one to seven years and an average APR of 4.29 percent.
Visitors to Credit.com are also able to register for a free Credit.com account, which gives them access to a tool called The Credit Report Card. This tool provides users with two free credit scores and a breakdown of the information in their Experian credit report, updated twice monthly. Again, this tool is entirely free, and we mention that frequently in our articles, because we think that it's a good thing for users to have access to data like this. Separate from its educational value, there is also a business angle to the Credit Report Card. Registered users can be matched with products and services for which they are most likely to qualify. In other words, if you register and you find that your credit is less than stellar, Credit.com won't recommend a high-end platinum credit card that requires an excellent credit score You'd likely get rejected, and that's no good for you or Credit.com. You'd be no closer to getting a product you need, there'd be a wasted inquiry on your credit report, and Credit.com wouldn't get paid. These are essentially what are commonly referred to as "targeted ads" in the world of the Internet. Despite all of this, however, even if you never apply for any product, the Credit Report Card will remain free, and none of this will impact how the editorial team reports on credit and credit scores.
That's all it takes! Most people are able to complete the application for an online payday loan within just a few minutes. Lending decisions are made promptly, ensuring you do not have to spend a lot of time wondering and worrying about your approval; if your loan is approved, you could have the funds deposited into your account within just a few hours.
Unlike most loans, which require a minimum credit score for acceptance, payday loans don't have any credit requirements. To apply, you need to present proof of income and a checking account, but the lender doesn't look at your FICO score. Likewise, records of timely payments don't appear on your credit report. So, a payday loan can't help you build credit, and applying for one doesn't impact it, either.
In many cases, borrowers write a post-dated check (check with a future date) to the lender; if the borrowers don't have enough money in their account by the check's date, their check will bounce. In Texas, payday lenders are prohibited from suing a borrower for theft if the check is post-dated. One payday lender in the state instead gets their customers to write checks dated for the day the loan is given. Customers borrow money because they don't have any, so the lender accepts the check knowing that it would bounce on the check's date. If the borrower fails to pay on the due date, the lender sues the borrower for writing a hot check.[33]
You can see how rolling over loans can lead to you paying much more than you initially borrowed. If you're considering a payday loan but are worried about being able to pay it back, look into an installment loan. These tend to have smaller payments spread out over a longer time period. You can also work on improving your credit to become eligible for personal loans or credit cards, which have lower rates and monthly minimum payments.
Gerri Detweiler focuses on helping people understand their credit and debt, and writes about those issues, as well as financial legislation, budgeting, debt recovery and savings strategies. She is also the co-author of Debt Collection Answers: How to Use Debt Collection Laws to Protect Your Rights, and Reduce Stress: Real-Life Solutions for Solving Your Credit Crisis as well as host of TalkCreditRadio.com.
Bill C28 supersedes the Criminal Code of Canada for the purpose of exempting Payday loan companies from the law, if the provinces passed legislation to govern payday loans.[56][57] Payday loans in Canada are governed by the individual provinces. All provinces, except Newfoundland and Labrador, have passed legislation. For example, in Ontario loans have a maximum rate of 14,299% Effective Annual Rate ("EAR")($21 per $100, over 2 weeks). As of 2017, major payday lenders have reduced the rate to $18 per $100, over 2 weeks.
First-time online payday loans applicants can borrow between $200 and $600. Repeat borrowers with positive payment histories can be approved up to $1000. Mypaydayloan.com urges clients to borrow what they need and what they can comfortably pay back with their next paycheck. If you are looking for a small payday loan, please visit our Small Cash Advance Loans page.
These arguments are countered in two ways. First, the history of borrowers turning to illegal or dangerous sources of credit seems to have little basis in fact according to Robert Mayer's 2012 "Loan Sharks, Interest-Rate Caps, and Deregulation".[41] Outside of specific contexts, interest rates caps had the effect of allowing small loans in most areas without an increase of "loan sharking". Next, since 80% of payday borrowers will roll their loan over at least one time [11] because their income prevents them from paying the principal within the repayment period, they often report turning to friends or family members to help repay the loan [42] according to a 2012 report from the Center for Financial Services Innovation. In addition, there appears to be no evidence of unmet demand for small dollar credit in states which prohibit or strictly limit payday lending.

The best way out can depend on where you took out the loan. Laws governing payday loans vary from state to state. Some states, like Colorado, are currently working to change the way payday loans are administered in order to make it easier for customers to pay loans back and avoid the snowball effect of constant loan renewal. Other states require payday lenders to offer borrowers an Extended Payment Plan (EPP), which stops the accrual of fees and interest.
Twelve million Americans use payday loans every year, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts. Generally anyone with a checking account and steady income can obtain a payday loan. However, it is most common for borrowers who don't have access to credit cards or savings accounts to use this type of loan. "Payday loans for bad credit" are attractive to people with no credit or credit problems.
Before you dive into a product marketed as a one-stop financial Band-Aid, consider your alternatives. Though they aren't significantly better, installment loans can come with slightly less egregious terms and more manageable payments. While it may requires a level of humility and openness, asking to borrow from friends or family could be another possibility. Better damaged pride than ruined finances.
As an alternative to traditional payday loans, LendUp also has several different types of loans. A traditional payday loan means you must repay the full value of the loan with your next paycheck. That could leave you in a financial tight spot. LendUp offers up to 30 days for repayment. The added flexibility makes it much easier for you to repay these alternative loans without failing to meet other financial obligations.
However, there are ways these loans can affect your credit, especially if you can't keep up with your payments. Part of getting a payday loan involves leaving a post-dated check, or giving the lender access to your checking account if you apply online. When the loan comes due, the lender deposits the check or withdraws what you owe. If you don't have enough in your account to cover the amount you owe, you could bounce a check or overdraw your account.
We do not issue same day loans online. Same Day Loans Payday Company is the service where you are provided with loans request form online and the opportunity to meet a huge network of online lenders. When you need online loans same day, you come to our website. The system tries to connect you with the lender. We don't make any sort of credit decisions. But we do our best to get you same day cash advance through our network of 24/7 loans lenders. Does this sound interesting? Of course, it is.
First, make sure the lender is approved to loan money to borrowers in your state and complying with state regulations regarding payday loans. Also take a look at third-party customer reviews online to learn other people's experiences with them. How easily can you contact them with questions, and can you find real information about their loans? This is also a good way to check their reputability.
For rates and terms in your state of residence, please visit our Rates and Terms page. As a member of CFSA, Check Into Cash abides by the spirit of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) as applicable to collect past due accounts. Delinquent accounts may be turned over to a third party collection agency which may adversely affect your credit score. Non-sufficient funds and late fees may apply. Automatic renewals are not available. Renewing a loan will result in additional finance charges and fees.
A single payday advance is typically for two to four weeks. However, borrowers often use these loans over a period of months, which can be expensive. Payday advances are not recommended as long-term financial solutions. Notice to Louisiana customers: If you cannot make payment when due, you can ask to enter into an extended payment plan once in a twelve-month period, but the request must be made before payment is due. Should Money Mart refuse to enter into an extended payment plan upon your request before the due date, contact the Office of Financial Institutions at 1-888-525-9414 (LA customers only).
Payday loans can be paid back from money borrowed from a different source, such as a credit union or family member. Alternatives to payday loans don't erase the debt, but they may have more agreeable terms and interest rates. A variety of different loans are available for numerous financial scenarios. One could be useful in helping you escape the payday loan trap if your credit qualifies you.

If you are buying the first group of patio furniture, replacing a set because of wear and tear or upgrading for better functionality, below are some ideas to consider prior to buying:
Consider Your Lifestyle
If your particular style of furnishings doesn't match your way of life, it doesn't matter if it is regarded as stylish. A backyard bar filled with bar stools would be a sensible buy if you love tossing big events with exotic cocktails around the menus. Nevertheless, if your parties mostly consist of kids in pajamas and therefore are over by 8:00 pm hours, a sturdy outdoor loved ones table is probably a much better utilization of your budget.
Consider Your Space
Space preparing is as required for an outdoor space because it is indoors. Calculate your home and go ahead and take findings with you when you shop. Be sensible about how much furniture will fit on your deck or patio and select the items that provide the most perform.
Consider Maintenance
Outside living room furnishings are created in a number of supplies and every requires a different level of upkeep. Pine wood furniture is stylish but demands an occasional layer of essential oil if you would like it to remain searching new. Contact-united parcel service to prevent rust or include chips is going to be requirement for metal furnishings, but it will function as the most long lasting option. Rattan is a traditional material but it must be covered during the severe several weeks of winter season. Be realistic about how much maintenance you are prepared to perform and whether you need furnishings that is usable all year. It really just depends on where you reside should you have a pool sleeping sack out for some months or year round.
Consider Decoration
A natural flow in between outdoor and indoor areas tends to make your home feel much more grand. Ongoing the same decoration from inside to your outdoors rooms helps produce that movement. With the wide range of designs obtainable in outside lounge furnishings today, developing a natural style should be easy. Consider your outdoor space as a slightly much less official version of your family room or dining room and choose your brand-new outside lounges, tables and accessories accordingly.

'Young and the Restless' Poll: Who Will Have Kyle's Child – Lola, or Summer?
This question about 'Young and the Restless' is intended as asking who, between Lola (Sasha Calle) and Summer (Hunter King), will have Kyle's (Michael Mealor) child. An answer to both would skirt the current issue and isn't intended.
'Kola' currently exists. Kyle loves Lola and she loves him, in fact, they've both said so to each other. Based upon Lola's traditional and honorable beliefs, she hasn't rushed into romantic matters that can't be undone. This choice, when learned by Summer, could lead to King's character bearing Kyle's baby first.
Summer is the type of person who, like her mother, breaks morality rules whenever it's convenient and in order to advance an impulse-driven agenda. Instead of using her God-given gift of physical attractiveness for good, Summer believes in manipulating Kyle's sense of himself in order to exhibit control.
Hardly a saint in the past, Kyle is genuinely committed to Lola. He wants to build a future with this particular woman, who was clearly created by Y&R to be the anti-Summer. Kudos is offered to all three young actors, each of whom delivers solidly consistent performances for the fans.
As hinted, it seems likely that Summer will gain knowledge of Lola's romantic choice. At that point, Miss Newman would be primed to exploit the situation to her advantage, with Kyle falling as the toppled pawn.
Longtime viewers recall that Phyllis (as then played by Michelle Stafford) went all in for Nick (Joshua Morrow) when she knew he was in a vulnerable state. That came during the period after Cassie (Camry Grimes) tragically died and 'Shick's' marriage fell apart.
Nick deserved half the blame for voluntarily becoming involved with Phyllis in the mid-2000s. Summer later came along and has grown to mimic both of her parent's slanted views of reality.
Because of her unique nature and a full place in Kyle's heart, Lola can't be counted out of this equation just yet. While it's true Summer has a measured history with Kyle, Lola offers Mr. Abbott something someone King's character can't, trust. And with that, she has a chance to lift Kyle up toward a meaningful relationship and family, rather than pull him down to a one-sided life that Summer would represent.
Fans of 'The Young and the Restless' rightfully express their opinions on a regular basis. So, who will have Kyle's child, Lola, or Summer? Please vote in our poll below!
This site is a leading source of engaging information about 'The Young and the Restless'.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - New Orleans Police are investigating a pair of Algiers armed robberies that took place about 20 minutes apart. The first incident occurred Monday around 7:10 p.m. at the intersection of Odeon Avenue and Lamarque Street.
According to police, the suspect pulled out a gun and robbed the victim as he was walking in the area. The suspect took an electronic tablet from the victim prior to running away. The second incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. near the intersection of Michael and Terry Streets.
Police say in that incident, four teenagers were walking in the area when they were approached by two black males. One of the suspects pulled out a gun and demanded the victims' belongings. All of the victims handed over their cell phones and wallets to the suspects, who ran away.
Citizens assisted detectives in identifying one of the two suspects wanted. Police arrested a 14-year-old boy and booked him in the Juvenile Bureau with armed robbery. Police are still investigating the case and are still searching for the second suspect.

Dogs in the Workplace: A Review of the Benefits and Potential Challenges
- International journal of environmental research and public health
- Published almost 2 years ago
- Discuss
Pet dogs, therapy dogs, and service dogs can be seen in workplaces with increasing frequency. Although dogs may provide many benefits to employees and employers, their presence may introduce additional hazards and concerns to the work environment. Therefore, decisions to accept dogs in the workplace may include many considerations including the health, safety, and well-being of employees, legal and cultural sensitivities, and animal welfare. The present paper serves to introduce the issue of dogs in the workplace and outline the potential benefits and challenges to their presence. The legal accommodations afforded to certain types of dogs in workplace settings are discussed, and the research findings pertaining to the potential benefits of dogs on human health and well-being are summarized. The paper concludes with considerations for human resource management personnel in the areas of diversity, employee relations, ethics and corporate responsibility, organizational and employee development, safety and security, and legal considerations, as well as suggested topics for future research.
The free health care initiative: how has it affected health workers in Sierra Leone?
- Health policy and planning
- Published almost 4 years ago
- Discuss
There is an acknowledged gap in the literature on the impact of fee exemption policies on health staff, and, conversely, the implications of staffing for fee exemption. This article draws from five research tools used to analyse changing health worker policies and incentives in post-war Sierra Leone to document the effects of the Free Health Care Initiative (FHCI) of 2010 on health workers. Data were collected through document review (57 documents fully reviewed, published and grey); key informant interviews (23 with government, donors, NGO staff and consultants); analysis of human resource data held by the MoHS; in-depth interviews with health workers (23 doctors, nurses, mid-wives and community health officers); and a health worker survey (312 participants, including all main cadres). The article traces the HR reforms which were triggered by the FHCI and evidence of their effects, which include substantial increases in number and pay (particularly for higher cadres), as well as a reported reduction in absenteeism and attrition, and an increase (at least for some areas, where data is available) in outputs per health worker. The findings highlight how a flagship policy, combined with high profile support and financial and technical resources, can galvanize systemic changes. In this regard, the story of Sierra Leone differs from many countries introducing fee exemptions, where fee exemption has been a stand-alone programme, unconnected to wider health system reforms. The challenge will be sustaining the momentum and the attention to delivering results as the FHCI ceases to be an initiative and becomes just 'business as normal'. The health system in Sierra Leone was fragile and conflict-affected prior to the FHCI and still faces significant challenges, both in human resources for health and more widely, as vividly evidenced by the current Ebola crisis.
Human resource constraints and the prospect of task-sharing among community health workers for the detection of early signs of pre-eclampsia in Ogun State, Nigeria
- Reproductive health
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
The dearth of health personnel in low income countries has attracted global attention. Ways as to how health care services can be delivered in a more efficient and effective way using available health personnel are being explored. Task-sharing expands the responsibilities of low-cadre health workers and allows them to share these responsibilities with highly qualified health care providers in an effort to best utilize available human resources. This is appropriate in a country like Nigeria where there is a shortage of qualified health professionals and a huge burden of maternal mortality resulting from obstetric complications like pre-eclampsia. This study examines the prospect for task-sharing among Community Health Extension Workers (CHEW) for the detection of early signs of pre-eclampsia, in Ogun State, Nigeria.
Forecasting imbalances in the global health labor market and devising policy responses
- Human resources for health
- Published about 1 year ago
- Discuss
The High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth released its report to the United Nations Secretary-General in September 2016. It makes important recommendations that are based on estimates of over 40 million new health sector jobs by 2030 in mostly high- and middle-income countries and a needs-based shortage of 18 million, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. This paper shows how these key findings were developed, the global policy dilemmas they raise, and relevant policy solutions.
A synthesis of recent analyses of human resources for health requirements and labour market dynamics in high-income OECD countries
- Human resources for health
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Recognition of the importance of effective human resources for health (HRH) planning is evident in efforts by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA) to facilitate, with partner organizations, the development of a global HRH strategy for the period 2016-2030. As part of efforts to inform the development of this strategy, the aims of this study, the first of a pair, were (a) to conduct a rapid review of recent analyses of HRH requirements and labour market dynamics in high-income countries who are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and (b) to identify a methodology to determine future HRH requirements for these countries.
Applying the workload indicators of staffing need (WISN) method in Namibia: challenges and implications for human resources for health policy
- Human resources for health
- Published about 5 years ago
- Discuss
As part of ongoing efforts to restructure the health sector and improve health care quality, the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS) in Namibia sought to update staffing norms for health facilities. To establish an evidence base for the new norms, the MoHSS supported the first-ever national application of the Workload Indicators of Staffing Need (WISN) method, a human resource management tool developed by the World Health Organization.Application: The WISN method calculates the number of health workers per cadre, based on health facility workload. It provides two indicators to assess staffing: (1) the gap/excess between current and required number of staff, and (2) the WISN ratio, a measure of workload pressure. Namibian WISN calculations focused on four cadres (doctors, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy assistants) and all four levels of public facilities (clinics, health centers, district hospitals, intermediate hospitals). WISN steps included establishing a task force; conducting a regional pilot; holding a national validation workshop; field verifying data; collecting, uploading, processing, and analyzing data; and providing feedback to policy-makers.Challenges: The task force faced two challenges requiring time and effort to solve: WISN software-related challenges and unavailability of some data at the national level.
District health managers' perceptions of supervision in Malawi and Tanzania
- Human resources for health
- Published over 5 years ago
- Discuss
Mid-level cadres are being used to address human resource shortages in many African contexts, but insufficient and ineffective human resource management is compromising their performance. Supervision plays a key role in performance and motivation, but is frequently characterised by periodic inspection and control, rather than support and feedback to improve performance. This paper explores the perceptions of district health management teams in Tanzania and Malawi on their role as supervisors and on the challenges to effective supervision at the district level.
Do terrorist attacks affect ethnic discrimination in the labour market? Evidence from two randomized field experiments
- The British journal of sociology
- Published about 1 year ago
- Discuss
Terrorist attacks are known to influence public opinion. But do they also change behaviour? We address this question by comparing the results of two identical randomized field experiments on ethnic discrimination in hiring that we conducted in Oslo. The first experiment was conducted before the 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway; the second experiment was conducted after the attacks. In both experiments, applicants with a typical Pakistani name were significantly less likely to get a job interview compared to those with a typical Norwegian name. But the ethnic gap in call-back rates were very similar in the two experiments. Thus, Pakistanis in Norway still experienced the same level of discrimination, despite claims that Norwegians have become more positive about migrants after the far-right, anti-migrant terrorist attacks of 2011.
Measuring inequalities in the distribution of the Fiji Health Workforce
- International journal for equity in health
- Published over 1 year ago
- Discuss
Despite the centrality of health personnel to the health of the population, the planning, production and management of human resources for health remains underdeveloped in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In addition to the general shortage of health workers, there are significant inequalities in the distribution of health workers within LMICs. This is especially true for countries like Fiji, which face major challenges in distributing its health workforce across many inhabited islands.
The Advantage of Being Oneself: The Role of Applicant Self-Verification in Organizational Hiring Decisions
- The Journal of applied psychology
- Published over 1 year ago
- Discuss
In this paper, we explore whether individuals who strive to self-verify flourish or flounder on the job market. Using placement data from 2 very different field samples, we found that individuals rated by the organization as being in the top 10% of candidates were significantly more likely to receive a job offer if they have a stronger drive to self-verify. A third study, using a quasi-experimental design, explored the mechanism behind this effect and tested whether individuals who are high and low on this disposition communicate differently in a structured mock job interview. Text analysis (LIWC) of interview transcripts revealed systematic differences in candidates' language use as a function of their self-verification drives. These differences led an expert rater to perceive candidates with a strong drive to self-verify as less inauthentic and less misrepresentative than their low self-verifying peers, making her more likely to recommend these candidates for a job. Taken together, our results suggest that authentic self-presentation is an unidentified route to success on the job market, amplifying the chances that high-quality candidates can convert organizations' positive evaluations into tangible job offers. We discuss implications for job applicants, organizations, and the labor market. (PsycINFO Database Record

AKS Youths Thrilled by Prospects of Re-emerging ALSCON
Youths of Ikot Abasi Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, are excited at the projections of fresh job opportunities, following the plan by the Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria, (ALSCON), located in the area, to commence full operations after Russian Aluminium Company, RUSAL and BFIG settled their contentious bid controversy out of court.
NDV learned that the process to privatise ALSCON started since 2001, but the highest bidder, BFIG, in2004, dragged the Bureau of Public Enterprise, BPE and RUSAL to court. It was gathered that the Federal Government subsequently gave RUSAL, the second highest bidder, a go-ahead after BFIG failed to pay the money it offered to take over the company.
Immediate past president of Ukpum Ete Clan, who expressed confidence in RUSAL restoring ALSCON to its former glory, said: "When our people heard that the Federal Government had intervened in the lingering court matter between BFIG and RUSAL towards the ending of 2017, we were very excited.
Even foremost socio-cultural groups like Mboho Ikot Abasi were optimistic that once ALSCON commenced full operations, Ikot Abasi will come alive again." Outstanding past "When ALSCON was functional, there were lots of job opportunities and our people, especially youths, benefitted a lot from the company. Apart from the constant and free electricity supply enjoyed by our communities, there were programmes for youths of the five clans in Ikot Abasi, including payment of certain amount of money to each clan for youth development. "The Americans that managed ALSCON then did a lot for us and that was responsible for the peaceful coexistence between the company and its host communities of Ikot Abasi," he said. RUSAL wins hearts His words: "We have also observed that since RUSAL took over ALSCON before the court case, they have demonstrated that they would toe same path. For us, it is a good sign that once they start full operations, Ikot Abasi people will smile again. "And for convincing RUSAL and BFIG to settle out of court, we the youths cannot thank the Federal Government enough for that effort. We specially thank this administration for considering ALSCON among nonfunctional industries in the country," he added.
Similarly, Chairman Ikot Abasi Clan Youth Leaders' Forum, Akparawa Mfreke Usoro said: "For many years now, nothing had been happening in Ikot Abasi. No development, no job opportunities, the youths are idle because they have nothing to do and that is why there is rise in criminality. "And what Ikot Abasi youths want now is for RUSAL to start production immediately; no more court matter or anything that will bring problem or impede development of our communities. And I believe that RUSAL will accommodate our youths very well," he said. No more litigation An activist, Innocent John, said: "I want to advise that RUSAL and BFIG resolve the matter once and for all because we do not need any more court case. We need progress and development in Ikot Abasi We value ALSCON so much because it is the only Federal Government presence in our communities."

Investment One Unveils Investment App
Investment One Financial Services Limited has launched an investment solution for investors.
The Ziing App, according to Group Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Nicholas Nyamali, is a solution for investors who desire to be total control of their investments.
"Ziing is an App on your phone that essentially enables you to take control of your finances. It is your money buddy. It is an App that provides the user an array of financial services ranging from timely investment information to identifying available investment opportunities", Nyamali disclosed at the launch of the application in recently in Lagos.
"With Ziing, l don't need to walk into a bank to ask my banker questions on how to manage my idle fund and l can easily control my expenses in case they are getting out of hands," he added.
A major difference between Ziing and other Apps so far introduced into the Nigerian financial space is that it addresses other financial needs beyond payments.
"It is a one- stop -shop investment management App. You can save with it, track what trading looks like on the stock exchange without going through a broker just with a touch on your phone. Ziing can be used for international money transfer (both sending and receiving). For your latest stock prices, treasury bills prices, investment information, simply Ziing it. For cash, loans etc., Ziing it,"Nyamali enthused.
Ziing also offers its users access to their investment account outside the working days as it enables them to be able to meet their immediate financial needs at any time they needed it. "For instance you can put your money in a fixed deposit say at 13 percent and on a Saturday, with your phone, you can liquidate such an investment to create immediate access to your money. There is no need to have an investment fund (fixed deposit) separated from your current account with the Ziing App", Investment One disclosed.
Speaking on the rationale behind the introduction of the app by his company, Nyamali said it was the need to provide access and control to players in the financial space both locally and internationally.
"If we are honest to ourselves we will realise the bulk of solutions we have seen in the banking space are that of payment, payments for subscriptions, bills etc. But the solution for access or control is largely lacking. For instance, l want to have access to my investments; l want control over my savings; monitor my expenditure; get investment information; investment education; take control of my finances etc.; those questions had no answers before the introduction of Ziing. That is why at Investment One, we identify that we need a tool called Ziing", he explained.______

UBA, Japan Trade Join Forces to Promote MSMEs in Africa
The United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has indicated its preparedness to support the Japanese government in its drive to promote small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) across Africa.
Chairman of UBA Group, Mr. Tony Elumelu, said this yesterday when members of the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO), led by its CEO, Mr. Hiroyuki Ishige, visited the bank's head office in Lagos.
Elumelu, who welcomed the guests, noted that the deliberations had earlier begun in Davos, Switzerland, adding that like UBA, JETRO shared the passion for transforming lives and helping to build businesses and trade across the world.
According to Elumelu, "When global leaders visit a country, they bring global attention. These investors who came from Davos have seen Nigeria as a business destination and have come to the country for the first time to visit us and see how things work here. The fact is that we all share the same passion to help transform lives and businesses around the world.
"We are aware of the various investments you have made recently to develop Africa and African businesses and this is what we also stand for at UBA – developing enterprises across the African continent. We believe that this visit will mark significant milestones and progress as we work towards empowering the youths and small and medium scale businesses."
Elumelu stated that such collaboration and partnership would support employment creation, poverty alleviation and building sustainable businesses that contribute towards economic growth.
Also, Ishige, who was full of praises for the bank's management, noted that he found Nigeria very interesting with many wonderful opportunities for investment. He said the JETRO aims to contribute to further development of Japan's economy and society through promoting trade and investment as well as research in developing countries.
"We like what we have seen here and we want to seize this opportunity to invite UBA to our oncoming Afro Japanese Summit which will be taking place in Yokohoma, Japan this August.
"I am convinced it will be a great opportunity for both countries to showcase themselves and come together towards the common aim of building and supporting small and medium scale businesses," the Japan Trade boss said.
He explained that JETRO through its domestic and oversea networks supports small and medium enterprises, adding that the organisation cooperates with relevant organisations, local governments, etc. to provide services that match the needs of the company.
"We will actively and efficiently work on exporting food products and on supporting overseas expansion of small and medium-sized enterprises and contribute to Japanese corporate activities as well as trade policies through surveys and research," Ishige said.______

John Abayomi denies ownership of Instablog9ja, threatens to sue Linda Ikeji
In the letter delivered to the blogger on Friday, Ikeji was asked to tender an unreserved apology within forty-eight hours or risk legal action.
Linda in the said publication had claimed that 'the owner of instablog9ja is John Abayomi, a former online editor of Vanguard news and current online editor of Punch'.
However, Falana said the statement is untrue and unfounded, but only calculated to lower Abayomi's esteem and damage his reputation and professional career.
"Your publication has put him in the harm's way, thereby endangering his life and the lives of his family members. It has also attracted a lot of negative reactions from members of the public including celebrities who has been eager to know the face behind the blunt and sarcastic blog because of the method of reportage".
"Your mendacious publication was clearly actuated by malice in that it was deliberately done to portray our client as an imposter, a fraudster and a blackmailer"
"In the light of the foregoing, we have our client's firm instructions to demand an unqualified apology together with a retraction of the libelous publication in the edition of your blog (Linda Ikeji blog) in addition to having the retraction published on Instagram.
"However, if you fail or refuse to accede to our client's demands within 48 hours of the receipt of this letter, we shall have no option than to initiate civil proceedings against you at the Lagos State High Court without further recourse to you," reads the letter which was signed by Chukwuma Onwuemene (ESQ.).
A reliable source has also rubbished reports that Abayomi was summoned to a meeting by his employers, Punch Newspapers, over Linda Ikeji's publication.
"It is totally untrue. There was no such meeting. John is a top-notch professional and everybody close to him, including his employers, are aware that Linda Ikeji's publication was completely untrue," the source said.
