If Durga Puja is not the most colourful of all festivals, it surely is one of those. So far as the Bangalee Hindus are concerned, it is the greatest and most colourful festival to them. The untimely invocation of Goddess Durga by Rama in order to conquer Ravana of Lanka is a turning point in the war between the two, according to the epic Ramayana. Yet it is the Bangalees among the followers of Hunduism, who have picked up the theme for devotion to the goddess. In north and south India, Hanuman and Ganesh have respectively found their pedestal cemented for worship. Goddess Durga has not been favoured there in the order of precedence at all. This is quite intriguing.
In this respect the Bangalees have shown their ingenuity by inventing something extra to the divine. Divinity has been tempered with what can be called human relations or bond. Thus the Goddess Durga becomes a daughter incarnate –one who comes to visit her parental house every year in the Autumn with an entourage, actually her sons and daughters with the animals they use for their personal carriers. The demon and her own transporter lion accompany her as usual. In no other puja, such an assembly of gods and goddesses, an adversary and animals is present at a time. The spectacle cannot but be colourful and artistic because of the idols in their various shapes and sizes and in the mix of glows.
Durga Puja is still celebrated with perhaps as much fervour by some as it was done in the past. But something has, if noticed closely, gone conspicuously missing. It is the liveliness and spontaneity of the entire community that once made the festival special has all but vanished. Instead, the celebration has become a mechanical ritual with technology and modern gadgets taking over the soulful contribution and participation by devotees in their different capacities. Today, there is more money than before at the disposal of the puja committees or individuals who arrange one on their own. The government also give grants to organisers of a puja.
In villages, the preparation used to begin long before the festival time. Artisans of images called pauls had the contracts reached long before for taking the responsibility of image making. Usually pauls used to make images in a temple for generation and there was no need for entering into fresh agreements. From the time the straws were packed into the frame of the images, the tone was set. Then the minute details of the preparation of earth to be used for building the shape of images to the various stages of perfecting those into unblemished shapes were fascinating indeed. A child observer could discover in the process of creativity something unearthly artistic. Then came the moment of truth when colours were splashed one after another to express the divinity to the until-now human figures. It was like going through an orientation far removed from this mundane world.
Those experiences are hardly available now. In most venues of rituals, finished images are brought for the purpose and those are not only not finished enough but bear the cursory attempts to do the job commercially. The care and artistic touches are sorely missing from those images.
If the neglect to the choice of images can be ignored, where the transformation has been overly mechanised is in the area of the implements used for celebration. Amplifying sound boxes used for playing songs –mostly cheap and popular Hindi items –turn the puja into a veritable site of noise atrocity inflicted not only on people present there but within a range of a quarter of a kilometre. Lungi dance and such others have replaced the traditional arati (prayer in dance form). Thanks to the rural electrification, power supply has only allowed the promotion of the alien culture even more strongly. Local artistes are no longer invited and some of the cultural programmes once used to be an integral part are dispensed with.
Finally, dashahara that was the rendezvous of the images brought to compete with each other after the worship had been over has almost become a thing of the past. On huge boats the goddess with her entourage made her journey to the designated place of dashahara. A large number of such boats with their beautiful cargoes anchored side by side with the professional drummer playing the drums. At midnight the judges pronounced various rewards for the most artistic, innovative or creative images. The drummers also had their competitions and were given prizes for becoming champions or runners-up. Today there is hardly any water for the large boats to ply on and dashahara has lost its lustre, so has the celebration.

A sense of revulsion has gripped the Ramblers' Association of Malta (RAM), as the full significance sinks in of the events that unfolded on the morning that the Mepa board met for the seemingly fake purpose of ruling on the Fort Cambridge application.
The general and obvious impression is that it was a foregone conclusion and it follows that the NGOs and other innocent parties involved continue to be taken for a ride. It appears that board members, paid out of taxpayers' money, still willingly conspire to convene for a mock meeting, to carry on making a fool of those same taxpayers whose interests they are paid to protect.
RAM feels most aggrieved by the fact that the new chairman met with a delegation from the Association only one week before the meeting, when he drew a picture of integrity and declared that he saw allies in the NGOs, whose work to report illegalities to the authorities was invaluable and could never be achieved by government policing. In truth, as far as Government is concerned, NGOs continue to serve only one purpose – that of scapegoats.
It is hurtful and ironic that a person of his stature, who first declares himself still unacquainted with the complexities of his new post and technically incompetent regarding the specifics of the engineering profession, should suddenly appear to engineer such a frame-up, then spring up barefacedly to cover it with a fabrication that insults the intelligence of one and all. This is not permissible in a civilised society, where justice has to be seen to be done, crystal-clear.
RAM had other expectations from the new chairman. Following on from the fallout of the DCC board resignation, the Ramla l-Hamra permit revocation, the Mistra disco and Mistra Towers cases, and following the factual revelations from evidence by Astrid Vella in the case at the Gozo courts, he was expected to follow up with investigations of other debacles such as the Safi Supermarket and the Tas-Sellum development, as well as many others. He was likewise then expected to seek the revocation of permits on the grounds of irregular procedures and that so many sections of the law have been broken. That would have been a happy day for environmental justice. Contrary to expectations, it is not a new broom that has been brought in to sweep Mepa clean, and tricks of the trade remain stubbornly stuck. It proved an implosion, as matters get factually worse.
The silence of the Prime Minister on the matter cries out aloud, but is not surprising. One has only to consider the parallelism to the other infamous stance taken by the Prime Minister to overlook the illegal occupation of public land by daylight-robber citizens, making mockery here again of the upright and honest citizen. For is it not appalling that rights of access in the countryside are generally denied to common citizens – lawful constitutional rights just to walk, while possession illegally usurped by the few brazen-faced is condoned? This logic presumes an inferior IQ level for the upright citizens who are ready to accept the prevailing situation where illegal possession of public property is condoned and illegal construction and destruction is sanctioned, but legal lawful rights of way are denied.
One would be very mistaken to believe that ours is a democratic republic, where equal rights are constitutionally protected. It is a far cry from that! Rather, it is an oligarchy of environmental villains whose only knowledge of land use is based on personal profit and pleasure. This oligarchy uses votes and money to blackmail a democratically elected government, weakened by a relative majority election result and dependent upon land transfer revenue and relative tax as major sources of income.
RAM is disgusted at the way Government, which has the authority to govern by simply applying the existing rules of the land, abdicates its responsibility not only by turning a blind eye to the breaking of the law, but goes so far as to condone it. There is a dearth of political will to apply the law, but an abundance of political ingenuity to dodge it.

LONDON (Reuters) - Hopes that the United States and China might find a compromise to resolve their trade dispute lifted European shares on Monday, while Turkey's currency crisis showed no immediate sign of worsening.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.6 percent at the close, with all major markets across the continent also finishing in positive territory.
"The prospect that any possible escalation may well be some way away has prompted some investors to tentatively step back into the market," CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson said in a note to clients.
Amid the "risk-on" environment, basic materials and miners .SXPP were among the best-performing sectors, up 0.9 percent.
Among stocks that fared best were ArcelorMittal (MT.AS), up 2.5 percent at the top of Paris' CAC 40 index, and London-listed Evraz (EVRE.L), up 2.8 percent.
Italian infrastructure group Atlantia (ATL.MI) fell 4.7 percent as speculation continued over whether the government would revoke toll highway concessions held by its Autostrade per l'Italia business after last week's collapse of a Genoa bridge that it operated.
British software group Sage (SGE.L) dropped 7 percent after a rating downgrade by Deutsche Bank.
"The competitive situation in Sage's core mid-market franchise appears to be worsening," the German bank's analysts wrote, adding that "higher-end competitors also appear to be gradually gaining share from Sage's core user and reseller base".
Shares in British contractor G4S (GFS.L) fell more than 1 percent after the British government took over the running of a prison after an inspection found it had fallen into a "state of crisis".
Among smaller companies, handbag maker Mulberry (MUL.L) sank nearly 30 percent to its lowest in nearly eight years after a trading update in which it warned of "materially reduced" profit if current UK sales trends continue into the second half.
The results could be seen as a bad omen for retail and luxury peers in Britain.
"This is really a sign of how it's not just the retailers that are affected by the decline on the high street, but also some of the key brands that depend on department store concessions and the visible presence they offer to consumers," wrote Neil Wilson, an analyst for Markets.com.

The challenges in managing network access are being amplified by the new generation of personal smart devices including iPhones, tablets and other personal devices that employees and guests want to connect to the work wireless network. The BYOD phenomenon is seeing a flood of diverse Wi-Fi® devices entering networks claiming their share of WLAN resources. Networks must be prepared to deliver secure, scalable wireless network access to a diversity of devices and users.
Wireless networks should be capable of enabling one-click self provisioning of client devices for secure 802.1x connectivity.
Many network environments, such as public arenas, hotels, hospitals and corporations face the challenge of providing and managing access of a plethora of guest devices onto their network. Dealing with this includes deciding who will create user accounts for guests, the creation of guest accounts based on established security policies and controlling the limits of what guest sponsors can do.
Guest access solutions enable anyone within an organisation to become a sponsor and create an account for a guest in real time, with no need to locate a specific individual to perform this task.
Recommended Solutions:
Network Access Control (NAC) aims to do exactly what the name implies—control access to a network with policies, including pre-admission endpoint security policy checks and post-admission controls over where users and devices can go on a network and what they can do.
As networks have evolved over the years, so too have the threats to network security. With each new type of threat came increased awareness of the need for new security solutions.
As a result, today's network security landscape consists of a number of disparate security "silos", with each addressing a portion of an organization's overall security needs:
Most NAC solutions entail authentication (identity), endpoint compliance, remediation, and policy enforcement functions in the process of validating user identity and the security posture of host devices before allowing access to the network.

01 November 2007 ~ blog java spring
If you are familiar with the Spring Framework I am sure that you know how to create a
context and fill it with beans using XML (DTD or Schema) or maybe even using properties files (have to try that one
sometime), but have you ever tried creating a context programmatically... purely in Java? It's actually not all that
difficult, just a little verbose.
The context itself is created as the
GenericWebApplicationContext. Let's consider a scenario in which you have two
beans, a Spring MVC
Controller implementation called
AddressController, and a service bean, called
such that the service bean must be injected into the controller bean. First we create the context:
GenericWebApplicationContext context = new GenericWebApplicationContext();
Then we create the service bean and add it to the context:
RootBeanDefinition addressSvcBean = new RootBeanDefinition(AddressService.class);
Not too bad. Now the interesting one, the controller will also need a reference to the service bean.
RootBeanDefinition addressCtrBean = new RootBeanDefinition(AddressController.class);
MutablePropertyValues props = new MutablePropertyValues();
Notice that you pass in the
addressSvcBean object to the
addressService property; this is the dependency injection
in action. You now have a context with two beans, one of which depends on the other.
Note: that an actual controller implementation would probably require more properties to be specified but this is just to show you how it's done.
Finally you will need to startup the context:
Why would you ever want to do this over one of the less tedious methods? Maybe you just like doing things in code
or you need a simple context with a few beans, some of which are mocked, and its just easier to handle in code. If
nothing else it's nice to know that it can be done. I guess that it would also be useful if you had some other
configuration format that you wanted to support... your "parser" would call/generate this code underneath.

Zarid House on the beach of Cabo de Plata
Contemporary Sea Front Villa in Spain – design by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
31 May 2017
Zarid House
Design: Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
Location: Tarifa, Cádiz, Spain
Zarid House
Located on the beach of Cabo de Plata, known as the Beach of the Germans on the Andalusian coast of Tarifa, there is an uneven place with a horizontal view over the Atlantic Ocean.
To optimize the vision of the landscape, a series of slender spaces are intertwined as they adapt to the descending topography. Each of these pieces is deposited half a floor below the previous one. This way, its alternating arrangement allows all the spaces to have a direct view over the beach.
This form of aggregation minimizes its presence in the landscape, and adapts to the slope as a sort of ladder. A system of terraces that produces continuous interiors. To the southwest we find the views over the landscape, to the northeast there are enclosed courtyards and gardens that thanks to the natural ventilation mitigate the hot days and give shelter from the winds that characterize Tarifa.
The program is organized in half-levels, each piece corresponds to a different use. The main bedroom is located at the top. Half floor below the day zone is arranged at an intermediate level, while the rest of the bedrooms are placed at the bottom.
In the intersection between the pieces is located the communications core, with smooth ladders, almost ramps. This central space proposes a route through different spaces with a great spatial heterogeneity, a walk that allows us to continue through the roof generating the fiction of a loop, a walk that we could imagine as limitless.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
These are beautiful words which we often hear quoted, normally when someone has gone through some sort of tragedy and they are asking, "Why God?". I also hear it used a lot when people try and explain how a loving God could let people go to hell. While the words penned above could probably be quoted to someone struggling with tough questions like those mentioned and still ring true. These verses in the context of Isaiah chapter 55 are actually about Gods goodness and mercy to unrighteous and undeserving people which is kind of the opposite isn't it? They are about the prodigal son who returns home when he has wasted everything that he was given. Men, much like the older brother in Luke 15, prefer to see retributive justice dished out (except on ourselves and those closest to us), but God prefers to see the broken restored. This is not what some would call "cheap grace". God paid the highest price for our restoration and at the highest personal cost. And we have to recognize that not all prodigals return home. Some don't run out of money, while some will remain with the pigs out of their stubbornness or others out of shame, in the end it makes no difference because they have chosen their lot. But the Father still patiently watches and waits for them.
Below is the proper context of "Gods ways are not our ways", note verse 7 directly before it.
Isaiah 55
"Ho! Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people,
A leader and commander for the people.
5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you."
6 Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Today I tried out an online spreadsheet/database tool called Blist. I was actually looking for a tool that let's me manage my collection of art (not that I have such large collection that I need a database, but excel is such a boring tool and I can't add images that easy). I have a very positive first impression of Blist (which was launched this year). After watching one or two tutorials you are good to go. Interface works pretty intuitive and performance seems fast enough for a web app (it is build using Flex I believe). What puts me off however is that every 'blist' (their name for 'sheet') automatically shows up on their community page. If you indicate that your data is private, this will not show, but still your username and blist title will be there. Why do I want to bother total strangers with lists of my stuff? Social spreadsheets… as we say in Dutch: "het moet niet gekker worden". Anyway, this an application to watch.

Norman Cornish - Bar Scene Restoration and Framing Works
One of Norman Cornish's most iconic paintings has recently been delivered to Gallagher & Turner Framing studio at Hoults Yard, Newcastle, to be restored and framed.
The painting has never been exhibited and was only discovered by his family when his studio was being prepared 'to gift' to Beamish Museum in 2014. The oil on canvas 121cm x 196cm is a stunning example of one of his favourite subjects. The expert team led by Paul Gallagher is restoring the painting to it's former glory prior to framing.
The painting will be exhibited for the first time at the forthcoming Bishops Close Street exhibition at The Garden Rooms Gallery at Tennant's, Leyburn, N Yorks. We'll post an update once the works have been completed but until then please see the below image of Paul Gallagher inspecting the piece in preparation.

Who is Brooksley Born?
Posted by intelledgement on Thu, 22 Oct 09
A friend of Hillary's passed over for Attorney General by Janet Reno, she found herself running the Commodities Futures Trading Commission in 1996 and to her growing alarm, discovered potential dangers in the unregulated multi-trillion dollar derivatives market…but when her CFTC proposed regulations, Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers, and Robert Rubin moved to crush her.
"In The Warning, veteran FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk unearths the hidden history of the nation's worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. At the center of it all he finds Brooksley Born, who speaks for the first time on television about her failed campaign to regulate the secretive, multitrillion-dollar derivatives market whose crash helped trigger the financial collapse in the fall of 2008."
This Frontline documentary is 50+ minutes long but well worth the time investment!
(Although…the implication that the government bailouts of the "too-big-to-fail" institutions was the logical outgrowth of Ayn Rand's philosophy—and the assertion that she was a Libertarian—are wrong. Rand would certainly have opposed Brooksley Born's proposals, but she would also have allowed AIG et al to reap their own harvest and fail. That would have resulted in more immediate pain, but a quicker and healthier recovery and a lot less risk of repeating the same mistakes. And she was not a fan of Libertarianism.)

The long-standing standoff involving North Korea's nuclear weapons program which has been played out over quite some time brought Kim Jong-un to the center-stage while China is lagging behind.
North Korean leader Kim is scheduled to hold an important summit with South Korean leader Moon Jae-in, run up to its all-important meeting with US President Donald Trump before the end of May.
It seems time was slipping away from Chinese President Xi Jinping forming a new political order in north-east Asia.
For your kind info, Kim reached Beijing on 26th of April in a 21-carriage train under heavy police security on his first overseas trip, amid hopes of Chinese President boarding the same.
Paul Haenle, one of the key National Security Official in both Bush and Obama administration feels that China is not so comfortable with the summit between Kim and Moon, before meeting Trump.
Beijing has a deep interest and huge stakes have been involved in the outcomes of upcoming summit between both Korean leaders and would never want to be just a spectator when important diplomacy unfolds.
It's true that North Korea draws inspiration from China; same is true for Kim Jong-un from Xi Jinping side when the pair needed each other most.
While speaking to reporters, Kim took notes when Xi spoke and nodded to his host's words and in return, he addressed the media from a pre-prepared script.
In the entire press conference, a North Korean leader was never appeared to be the junior partner. It seemed Mr. Xi was desperate to sneak into the driver's seat, ahead of meeting between two Korean leaders.
According to a senior strategic thinker at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington that Xi wanted to ensure that Chinese interests are protected in any of future political order.
No matter what strategic thinkers may evaluate, one message is loud and clear that is both China and North Korea remains allies, irrespective of Kim's waywardness.
Of course, there's the bit of uneasiness growing between China and North Korea because of new north-east Asia political order, ideally different from a resumption of the usual order of which has served China and North Korea well in the past.
The historic relationship has been born between the battlefields of the 1950-53 Korean War. To use Mao Tse-tung's famous analogy, they are closer than "lips and teeth".
A time when Beijing backing hard-hitting sanctions on Kim's regime and with a series of missile launches, Pyongyang caused fears in China that the relation between two neighbors had been soured.
Experts believe that North Korea seems to be mending those fences with China which could provide a boost for Kim going into the talks.
However, Hua Po, a Beijing-based independent commentator on North Korean issues accesses that Kim's meetings with his South Korean counterpart are not going to be easy or smooth but will be a complicated and tough process. So, Kim had to come to Beijing in advance to talk with Chinese leaders to reach a consensus.

Spinal Injury
Miami Spinal Injury Lawyer
The spinal cord is an extremely important and highly fragile part of the human anatomy. It helps us stand upright and protects our vital nerve centers and blood vessels to help the brain and heart connect with the rest of the body. When the spinal cord is damaged, most victims suffer from a lot more than a sore back. If you or a loved one has suffered from a spinal column injury, please call our offices today and schedule a consultation with a top Miami injury attorney.
Spinal injuries can lead to very serious consequences, particularly when nerves or blood vessels in the spinal cord are damaged. Even injuries as minor as an inflamed disc can cause serious pain and numbness when the disc puts pressure on nerves in the spinal column. More serious injuries can often result in paralysis, long-term pain problems, and permanent weakness or numbness in the lower body. Many of these problems require the victim spend the rest of his or her life in a wheel chair while using pain medications on a daily basis. If you are injured in this manner, you have probably already noticed the massive medical bills piling up thanks to the treatment your injury has required. All these factors and more show just how important it is for spinal injury victims to contact a skilled Miami injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Back injuries can often leave you out of work for weeks, months, even a lifetime. Your Miami injury attorney can ensure you receive compensation that will cover your medical expenses, pain, lost wages, emotional anguish, decreased quality of life, decreased mobility, and more.
If you or a loved one has experienced a traumatic spinal injury, please call The Law Offices of Gilbert and Smallman today and schedule a consultation with a Miami injury lawyer who can help you get back on your feet.

Starting or running a small business can be a difficult venture. Most business owners have multiple financial options when they need quick cash to cover expenses. Unfortunately there is often a demand for cash when you don't have the resources available. Funds obtained through online small business loans enable the owner to tap into the lucrative deals for your online business. As an owner of that business, you can utilize that money for hiring more labor. Or you can buy advanced equipment for boosting productivity as well as broadening the products collection. You can even use the funds for repairs or innovation to take your online business up to a new level. In short, the loan funds are indispensable for expanding the business in different directions.
Finding the best lenders for fast unsecured funding – The Common Way
Loans come from online finance companies and banks. But not all of them have the facility of offering small loans for your business. At times, it these come from credit unions or personal investors. In case the application seems to be difficult to be approved by those conventional lenders. No matter whom you choose as your lender, there are some common ways to find and reach them. You may be aware of some, as described below.
• Yourself: Are you surprised to know there are ways to self fund your online small business? Well, you might have some hard-earned money saved in your banks, which you can put into this new venture. Apart from that, you may be aware of private or public lending institutions. These companies are considered reliable and affordable for quick same day funding.
• Friends, Relatives, and Colleagues: You may even ask these people to get references or recommendations of lenders upon whom you can rely. This is perhaps an instant way to find a good lending company.
• Classifieds/Financial Magazines/ Yellow Pages: You can even use the help of these sources and applications. Look for the lenders offering unsecured loans for different types of online firms.
• Internet: This has perhaps become the most common way of looking for companies offering different loans for various purposes. Run a Google search and you have plenty of lenders at your disposal. You can always use our Online Directory of Small Business Lenders. We allow you to search among different rates and terms to get the best possible loan for your company.
These ways are likely to take you to the most promising or suitable lender as per your requirements. However, this is only one side of the coin. What about the other side when it comes to finding the best rates on online small business loans? Did you know that most lenders are licensed in the state you're trying to get a loan in? Most companies need to adhere to state and federal rules that govern the practice of lending money. These apply to consumers and small business owners that are in need of cash. This means what about the unsecured lender's requirements or terms? Is the lender willing to lend you despite having bad credit? Is that lender offering flexible loan repayment terms? For such things, it is essential to consider a few factors before searching for a lending company. Analyzing these factors makes you reach up to the best lending company. Now you can hope for success in finding same day lending online. Another thing to consider is that these obligations also apply to lenders that fund same-day unsecured business loans as well. Even though they go by a different name they're still small business loans.
While searching online for different rates, fees and terms you need to consider the factors shown below. This should assist you in the process of getting qualified with the lender's requirements.
• Loan Terms: You need to know in detail about the terms and conditions before signing the contract and committing to years of interest and fees on a loan. You need to consider factoring in your monthly payments as well as a fee that can be expensive, interest to be paid over the period, payment structure with fixed or hiked payments in later months, and prepayment penalty fees and origination fees. Do the math and you may find that another lender is simply more affordable.
• Credit Worthiness: Some online small business lenders actually have many requirements that you need to fulfill without any kind of compromise. A few will need you to be in business not less than two years and earn a six-figure income. On the other hand, some may need you to be in business for six months and lend you as per invoices, and not as per the revenue. At the same time, you will have to ensure that the online lender is not a fake one, but a genuine and experienced lender in the market. Gauging such criteria helps you find out the most eligible offer that's available. Fill out the paperwork and at the same time get you quick approval. There are many ways to check your credit history. While it's not always important to check credit when applying for a business loan, it can only help. Use the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau Credit Resources to get more information on ways to check your past credit history.
• Fund Transfer Duration: Consider how much money you need and the time within which you need it. And yes, do factor in fees. This is because each lender has its own limit of lending money as well as a fixed time within which you get the funds. For example, a few lending companies for small business loans offer up to $300,000 in an hour for a period of a year, while some offer only up to $100,000 for six months with different APR.

Version 3.0 - 10th March 2013
V3.0 was released on Sunday March 10th 2013. These release notes are subject to change.
1.0 System Changes
1.0 Infrastructure Upgrade.
This release is mostly composed of a major upgrade to the layer between the business objects and the database. This is to provide a platform to maintain system performance and business resilience.
1.1 Safe Deposits Scotland upload file.
It is now possible to download all of the tenancy information for your Safe Deposits Scotland tenancies, so that it can be uploaded to the Safe Deposits website.
The file can be found by navigating to 'Reports > Tenancy Reports > Safe Deposits Upload File'
1.2 Limit set on number of email recipients.
A limit has been set on the number of recipients that can be added to outgoing emails. The maximum number has been set as fifty.
1.3 Outgoing mail size limit.
A limit has been set on the size of outgoing emails. The limit is now 10mb.
1.4 Reconcile Bank Statement view tweaks.
- New colour, green, added to key to identify posted entries.
- Search button removed. The view now posts back and updates results when any of the filters are changed.
1.5 Authorise Letters - Letter selector.
We have deployed the burst grid functionality to the authorise letters section in order to reduce the number of post backs to the datebase, speeding up the view. This now means it is no longer possible to select the items on say page 1, click page 2, select items on there and then action all of them in one go. You are now limited to one page at a time.
1.6 Search button removed from 'Reconcile Bank Statements' view.
The search button has been removed from this view as the filters themselves will now refresh the results.
2.0 SOAP Service Change
2.1 Client/Context ID changed for all clients.
The client/context ID has now changed format. We currently have a workaround in place that will map the existing IDs to the new ones so that service is unaffected.
If your developers have hard coded any Client/Branch IDs then you will find that the property search function will not work. It is advised that they use the GetBranch method to return the correct ID instead of hard coding it. However, if you contact Client Support then they can provide you with the correct Branch ID to use. It will however break again if we need to alter it in the future.
We will be setting a cut off point for the workaround, so please get in touch with Client Support so that they can provide you with the correct client/context ID to send over to your developers.

Your personal PR agent
This person is a big source of support for your work and career. Romantically, your relationship could even take on a power-couple kind of feel, especially if you are together long-term. They take on your goals for success as their own, and they help you to develop a good public face -- wining and dining potential clients or important associates, or throwing parties to wow the neighborhood and show them that you're people to be taken seriously.
At the very least, they talk you up in public circles, advertising your work and your strengths to other people, always with the thought in mind of increasing your opportunities and your contacts. You're a really strong team in this regard, and as long as you keep each other motivated toward success and keep communicating clearly and well with each other about your connection and your ambitions, you stand a great chance of lasting long into the future, and at least of making a big and lasting impression on each other's lives.

- We must Focus on the true original meaning of tolerance, not free speech
- It's a consequence of the digital world…creates possibility of misunderstandings and manipulations…and humor is always very context dependent! Even Charlie Hebdo will not be understood in the UK for instance even though UK and France are quite close countries placed in western Europe

- I was being accused of being intolerant by publishing those cartoons, and it turns out it is exactly the other way round… that tolerance is imposed not the one who draws a cartoon, but on the one who watches a cartoon! Tolerance means the ability to live with things you hate… Tolerance is something painful and difficult and has to be learned…we need to rediscover the true meaning of tolerance and we have to teach it in schools.

Many brides dream their whole lives of a summer wedding. They want the sunshine, the tradition, the flowers! But, why not winter. Sure, if you live in a frozen tundra it may not be possible. However, destination weddings are increasing in popularity and $$ can be saved when you marry in the off-season. Even vendors will often lower their prices to secure work during this time. Check the Farmer's Almanac for locations that are sunny in winter.San Luis Obispo, for example, is beautiful in January. The temperatures may be lower than usual, but the sun is brilliant. If your wedding is indoors, even better! If you live in a Winter Wonderland, consider the magical beauty of snow and ice! Some brides fear a long engagement and then face the dilemna of a cold-weather affair. Embrace this unique season and the beauty it has to offer. It may turn out better than you ever dreamed!
Here is a link to an article about Cali Winter Weddings! Enjoy and comment with your advice on winter wedding locations and benefits!

Being someone who's heavily into cars, mountain biking, and a fan of all things action, I can really appreciate a great shot and video work. Despite grading my photography and videography knowledge/skills as amateur at best, I thought I'd seen pretty much everything GoPro cameras were capable of, and their creative uses. However I never though I'd see one used to make a first-person badass short film.
Biting Elbows, an indie-punk band from Moscow, has made such a short film with their latest music video "Bad Motherfucker". I could go on-and-on like I normally do, but you all really just need to watch this one for yourselves, in HD of course.
If you loved the song even half as much as the video and want to keep up with Biting Elbows, be sure to 'Like' them on Facebook. Questions? Reactions? Got a music video or short film that can top this one? As always, let us know below!

Thank you for your interest in our available dogs. We like to get to know the dogs in our care prior to posting them for adoption so if you do not see the dog you are looking for, feel free to put an interest form in telling us what you are looking for in a forever friend. We love to "match-make" and we may have a dog that is not yet posted that is perfect for you. Once we have an interest form from you, one of our staff will contact you (in 7 - 10 days) to discuss your needs in detail as well as the dog(s) you are interested in.
Please note, if you are unable to see the pictures of our dogs, your browser may not be up to date.
I am a huge love bug who loves to cuddle up or play! I have lots of energy and like to run around or toss around my toys. I'm learning how to fetch and love going for walks or running around the back yard. I also LOVE big hugs and attention! I would love to have a family to call my own!
Breed: Pit Bull Terrier
Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
Gender: Female
Age: 6 years
Size: Medium
I am definitely not shy at all! I am great with all adults and kids! I love humans! I just need some work on learning how to play with other dogs without upsetting them or them upsetting me. I want to play with them so bad though! If I am in a home with other dogs, it's best to keep me separated from them until I can learn how to play with them better. I do great when I go to Wag n Wash and other pet stores with other dogs near me. I just need help learning how to act with them off the leash. I am also crate trained.
I like other dogs but have a hard time playing with them and being too rough. My current foster family doesn't think I was ever exposed to other dogs before, so I'm still learning how to behave with other animals so I don't upset them. I'm best on a leash when around other dogs. I also love to chase kitties, so living with them probably wouldn't be the best idea. My most ideal home would be me as the only family pet so I can get all the love and attention for myself!
I love children of all ages! I like to play soccer with my current foster family's ten year old son and also run around the track with him! I'm a people dog, that's for sure! Just keep an eye on the little ones though because I can be a little clumsy and booty bump them!
I love stuffed toys so I can remove all the stuffing! I also like to chase after balls and sticks in the yard!
I am so full of love and I'm looking for a home that will give me lots of love back. I like to live indoors where it's warm since I don't have thick fur. I have lots of energy so I need a home that helps me get plenty of exercise. I, also, need a family who's willing to be patient with me so I can learn how to play with other dogs better and who can help me learn good manners like not jumping up on people. It would be best for me to be the only dog in the house but if anything, the home definitely needs to be a cat free zone. Just look at my face and big ears!! Don't you want to give me a loving home today?

A few years ago, I acquired a small fragment of orchard, now a suburban garden, which included an old pear tree of medium height growing in lawn with clumps of bluebells and wild flowers beneath. The tree turned out to be the common variety Williams' Bon Chrétien, and to my dismay, it suffered total crop failure from an infestation of pear midge (Contarinia pyrivora).
Thus began an annual battle which may be instructive or at least amuse. The books indicate that the female midge deposits her eggs in the blossom bud or balloon when it is just opening and the rapidly developing larvae cause the fruitlets to swell, distort, turn black and fall to the ground. The larvae pupate about 5 cms underground and the next generation midges emerge the next spring. The classic advice is to pick and burn all the affected fruit and also cultivate the ground and spray with carbaryl or gamma-HCH which I was reluctant to do.
Determined to find a non chemical solution, I lowered the height of the tree, which enabled me to pick every single fruitlet, hoping to break the cycle. Next year the fruitlets were still virtually all affected and were totally picked again. Over subsequent years various attempts were made to use a barrier sheeting under the tree coupled with fruitlet picking and even fly papers and ultra violet lights but to little avail, although a few pears did mature. I also discovered that some larvae drop to the ground before the affected fruitlet does, so early removal of affected fruitlets is required. It seemed possible that midges were arriving from other nearby gardens. It also appears that Williams' is very attractive to pear midge so the tree is being partially top grafted over to Comice.
Close observation of the emerging midges at blossom time, they are quite large, like eighth-size crane flies, showed that they emerged just before sunset and formed small mating swarms often in the same airspace between the blossom and the setting sun. They dance from 2 to 5 metres above ground level and can be easily seen against a clear sky. Finding that water jets were ineffective, in desperation I fitted a long PVC bathroom waste pipe to the vacuum cleaner nozzle and found to my astonishment that midge clouds could be very effectively hoovered out of the sky! This continued for several evenings as new midges emerged. Clearly this approach is very time consuming, small-scale and slightly eccentric but it is pleasant to be out with the blossom at sunset whilst knowing the method has zero impact on other pollinating insects.
The improvement in fruit yield was dramatic and I now have so many sound fruit that I am able to thin the crop in line with normal practice. Using garlic spray against scab and feeding the tree has completed the restoration of an attractive and now productive garden pear tree.

The Marshal Papworth Fund helps educate agricultural and horticultural students from developing countries by offering the Marshal Papworth Scholarships for Students from Developing Countries. Scholarships will be available on the basis of academic excellence.
The Marshal Papworth Scholarships are for applicants studying or working in natural resource based projects (agriculturalist, horticulturalist or more general courses like Project Management and Economic Development) applying for a place in any of the participating institutions.
Opportunities for students from developing countries to gain agricultural and horticultural skills needed to achieve a sustainable future for themselves and their communities are provided through two scholarship programmes: a). Masters programme – A one year's Masters Degree in agriculture or horticulture at a UK-based university; AND b). Marshal Papworth 10-week short course – A 10-week practical and experiential course to empower change makers in rural communities.
Scholarships are for international students from developing countries.
a). MASTERS PROGRAMME
Scholarships are funded for one-year postgraduate UK-based MSc and MA courses. As an agricultural charity Marshal Papworth favours land-based postgraduate courses, including Sustainable Development, Waste Management and International Horticulture. However, it also considers more general courses such as Project Management and Economic Development.
Applications for the Masters scholarships are made directly to one of the partner universities or colleges. For a list of these institutions, please see below.
b). Marshal Papworth 10-WEEK SHORT COURSE
This course has been designed specifically for students who can demonstrate a strong hands-on commitment to their community and its agricultural development. Potential candidates for this course include innovative farmers, community project leaders or primary school teachers with a keen interest in local agriculture, who are motivated in becoming change makers within their communities.
Method of Application
You cannot apply directly to the Marshal Papworth Fund for the Masters programme. Prospective Masters scholarship students should contact one of the participating universities/colleges directly and apply for a suitable course. Once accepted onto a course the university/college will select candidates they believe are eligible for a Marshal Papworth Scholarship and will forward the students application and CV to the Marshal Papworth Fund directly for consideration. Students who will be considered for a Marshal Papworth scholarship will not have received any other form of scholarship funding prior to this application.
The Marshal Papworth Fund is currently working with a number of organisations in country who are responsible for the selection of candidates for the Marshal Papworth 10-week Short Course.
Applications for scholarships must be received from partnering universities/colleges no later than the end of the second week of April, or the last day before the Easter break, whichever is the former. This is to ensure that the students who are awarded a scholarship have ample time to arrange Visas and travel arrangements before the start of their course in the autumn. Thus, the earlier you contact your chosen university, the better. Usually this should be before mid March each year.
Successful applicants will be contacted by the admissions department.

First-place winner Double Helix won with its 3D system that can image at the single-molecule level inside individual cells.
SAN FRANCISCO, California, USA (PRWEB) February 21, 2016
A 3D nanoscale imaging system, a marijuana breathalyzer, and a disease diagnostic tool made with refrigerator magnets and a laser pointer were selected as the top projects in the 2016 SPIE Startup Challenge. Hosted by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, the pitch competition was held 17 February in San Francisco during SPIE Photonics West, the premier annual event for the international optics and photonics community.
First-place winner Double Helix of Colorado won the grand prize with its 3D system that can image at the single-molecule level inside individual cells. The company was co-founded by Leslie Kimerling who accepted the $10,000 cash award funded by Founding Partner Jenoptik plus $5,000 in products from sponsor Edmund Optics.
Kimerling won over a group of expert judges with a system that can provide unprecedented imaging detail at the nanoscale level to speed the drug development process. The Double Helix system has the potential to reduce the time involved in bringing targeted therapies to market. It provides early verification and validation of the efficacy of drug therapy mechanisms in action.
Taking second place was Diagnostic anSERS with its marijuana breathalyzer. The Maryland-based company uses surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for its tool for law enforcement who need a road-side drug test for suspected impaired drivers. Sean Virgile, co-founder of Diagnostic anSERS, made the pitch.
In third place was Disease Diagnostic Group, founded by John Lewandowski, who hopes his diagnostic tool made from refrigerator magnets and a laser pointer can be used to help diagnose diseases like malaria before people show symptoms, thus saving lives and treatment costs.
Cash prizes, including the $10,000 top award, $5,000 for second place, and $2,500 for third are funded by Founding Partner Jenoptik. Additional support comes from lead sponsors Axsun Technologies and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and supporting sponsors Edmund Optics, Trumpf, Open Photonics, and Knobbe Martens.
Winners were chosen from among six finalists in a public final competition at the Moscone Center. Finalists had three minutes in which to deliver their pitches showcasing optics or photonics technologies or applications presented as the basis for viable new businesses.
Along with the winners, other finalists were: Bold Biometrix with its blood-pressure monitoring patches; Bodle Technologies, for its reflective displays for wearables; and Stream Technologies' spectral camera lens.
Judging the final round were Marc Himel of Jenoptik Optical Systems, Sam Sadoulet of Edmund Optics, Bruce Itchkawitz of Knobbe Martens, Mike Mielke of Trumpf, Jason Eichenholz of Open Photonics, Jenny Rooke of 5 Prime Ventures, Peter Whitney of Axsun Technologies, and Mark Wippich of LightWave Advisors.
SPIE will provide support for winners to attend a multi-day entrepreneur training camp and investor networking session for further help in refining their ideas.
About SPIE

Actually, there is no way we can remove,disable, or hide options from a radio button fields base on a selection from another field because it is not available through conditions. The only possible way you try to work this out is by having multiple radio buttons fields on your form with different sets of options. Then, a particular radio button will just show/hide on the form depending on the date being selected.
Here's a sample form: https://form.jotform.com/61147453306956
In my sample form, you will see that "Full-size Cars" is not available on April 27, 2016.
Please feel free to clone the form so you can examine the fields and conditions in it.

Save the Mosman Park (Glyde Memorial Hall) for the Deaf
This petition had 371 supporters
The Glyde Memorial Hall, home to WA Deaf Arts and the Foundation for Deaf Children is up for sale, one day to be demolished merely to help recuperate 0.001% of the state's debt.
For 120 years the WA Institure for Deaf Education and the WA Foundation for Deaf Children have used the old "House on the Hill" at 53 Curtin Avenue in Cottesloe. In 1957 a gymnasium/hall was made for the Deaf boarding school that has been used for the last 60 years as a gymnasium, a meeting hall, classrooms and a theatrette. Shortly before WAIDE moved to Padbury, WA Deaf Arts began to use the Hall for the state's first inclusive Deaf Theatre and Arts organisation, for rehearsing, performing, creating and exhibiting, whilst continuing to educate Deaf and Hearing together and create Deaf Awareness for all who participate. It has also been utilised by the Foundation for Deaf Children's many Family Network Group events. Although the WA Deaf Community is relatively small to others, we pride ourselves on having provided essential Community services, such as a safe place for Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing and Hearing people to meet and learn new skills, whilst sharing what other skills they possess, a venue that helps to bring together people who are otherwise often very isolated, misunderstood and who do not feel like they have a voice. It enables them to feel wanted and useful and allows them to tell their stories in creative ways. These are people who are at risk of suffering depression brought on by their isolation and lack of services to help them realise their dreams and achieve their goals. The venue is loved by the Deaf Community here. The floors are wood, often a rarity now, which allows vibrations to be felt through the floor and the stage area, so that the Deaf can feel the beat of music and learn the meaning of rhythm. It is located a short walking distance to and from the Mosman Park train station, which is the Deaf's preferred mode of travel. With Deaf Societies around the country closing down, we may find this is one of the few viable spaces left for the WA Deaf Community to meet. Whilst the new NDIS system allows for individuals to receive more funding to be able to receive crucial services, it also reduces funding for Deaf Societies and Community Centres. The places where the Community meets, exchanges ideas and supports each other are disappearing.
In 2014, The Barnett government wanted to make a pre-election bandaid effort to hide some of their $40 million debt they created to appear less inadequate in money management, so they began to sell-off to (not necessarily Australian) investors as many older hospital and school sites as possible. Although the "The House on the Hill" at the front of the property will continue to stand, as it is heritage-listed, the Glyde Memorial Hall, along with the rest of the land is still down to be sold, most likely to some foreign investor.
PLEASE DO NOT SELL OUR HALL! WA Deaf Arts and the WA Deaf Community will lose a home and a treasure that has been with many of them all their lives and is, in many ways, irreplaceable.

Buttermilk Pie Crust
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1½ cups unbleached white flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) butter, chilled and diced
¼ cup shortening, chilled and diced
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Place the flours, sugar and salt in bowl of a food processor and pulse to blend. Open processor bowl and sprinkle butter over the mixture. Pulse until just incorporated, then add shortening and pulse until the texture resembles crumbles.
Pour mixture into a chilled bowl, add ¼ cup buttermilk and stir with spatula until dough comes together, adding more buttermilk as needed. Divide dough into two balls, one slightly larger than the other, flattening each piece into a disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour before rolling. Keep top crust refrigerated until ready to roll out and use.
To partially or fully prebake: Roll one piece of dough into 12-inch circle. Place over 9-inch pie plate and gently press dough into dish. Trim edges with scissors or paring knife. Refrigerate dish for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line pie dough with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes or until dough looks dry. Carefully remove hot foil and weights. For a partially baked crust, continue baking five more minutes or until light brown. For a fully baked crust, continue baking 10 to 12 minutes or until deep brown. Place on wire rack to cool.

When people decide to pursue their love of food and start up their own business serving their local community – I am definitely one of the first people to stand up & help support (crowd funding, kiss kiss bank bank or whatever might make the most sense)
So when I saw a new concept in Brussels of having breakfast delivered to your front door… I thought the idea novel and quaint.
Don't get me wrong – sometimes, the highlight of my weekend is going out with HIM and the monkey for breakfast/brunch somewhere… but sometimes, just sometimes – you also want to laze about in your pj's while still enjoying freshly baked goods, soft boiled eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice and steaming hot cups of ** (whatever your heart fancies)… without actually having to go to the shops or even enter your kitchen.
Which is where Breakfast Delivery Brussels comes in.
A simple concept… either a Simple or Deluxe breakfast…
Simple 15€
- coffee/tea
- orange juice
- pistolet (a bread roll)
- croissant or pain au chocolat
- Jam & chocolate spread OR ham & cheese
- Hard or soft boiled eggs with toasted bread soldiers
Deluxe 22.50€
- All the above
- yoghurt with granola & fruit OR chia-coconut pudding with fruit
- Toast with Avocado & Salmon
you always have the option to add (for an extra euro): pistolet, croissant, pain au chocolat, jam/chocolate spread, ham & cheese. And you can make it extra special by including some bubbles too! Either in 35.7cl or a full 75cl bottle
I had supported the concept via Kiss Kiss Bank Bank – and therefore got 2x Deluxe breakfasts… (suppose to include a bottle of champers but I think that this must have been mislaid – but that really didn't matter and a delicious pot of home made rhubarb & strawberry jam)
What do you think? Pretty impressive eh?
There was SO MUCH food – that we ate off it for 2 days! I loved the yoghurt with home-made granola & fruit (so much so – that I "stole" HIM's for the next days breakfast) and the salmon/avo toast was left for the afternoon.
Why we loved it:
- Our delivery slot was 9-10am and I got a phone call at 8h50 to say that it would be delivered in 5minutes (which it was!)
- Everything was fresh and tasty – even the coffee was still hot on delivery
- So much food – real value for money!
Future improvement suggestions
- Time slots should be in 30minute intervals… HIM starts at work at 11h00, so I would have preferred a 10am delivery time, but if I chanced it and took the 10h00-11h00 slot, I couldn't be guaranteed that our food would arrive in time. Instead I took the 09h00-10h00 slot and it was delivered at 09h00 sharp.. which was actually too early
- an option to add the yoghurt/granola/fruit parfait to the simple breakfast…
What you need to know:
- Deliveries are only on Saturday & Sunday: 08h00-13h00
- Deliveries only possible in a 4km radius from the Bourse Area
- Payment: cash, bankcontact, bank transfer – but remember to put your proof of payment in email format
- You can order in advance online or even phone/email on the day
- the more you order, the cheaper it gets!
Would I use them again? DEFINITELY – but I would opt for the simple breakfast going forward! Show your support and order for this weekend!
