Posted 13th November 2008
I've been outed. Shortly after the Frankfurt book fair, an Indian magazine announced my other big news.
My mad ramblings, irreverent rants and quick recipes are to be published into a lifestyle/narrative cookbook by HarperCollins titled "Miss Masala".
Of course this being journalism, they got two out of three facts wrong. I write a Quick Indian Cooking food blog. True. I live in the US. False. I am the obese spoon-wielding aunty in a cotton sari depicted by the resident cartoonist. Gross misrepresentation!
Still, it's far better than the tepid response from some of my family members. Gran and dad take it in turns to claim I inherited the skill from them. On his recent trip, dad responded disbelievingly at the meal I cooked for him. And even asked me if I knew what "blanching" meant.
Thank god I have publishing glory to look forward to. Even though the book won't hit the shops until March 2010. Watch this space.
In the meantime, here's a Tamatar Shorba or Mughlai-style Indian tomato soup recipe requested by one of my readers. I'll spare you too much sentimentality, but I wouldn't be here without you lot, yadi yadi yada… Just please start saving to buy my book!
Feeds 2:
Wash, slice the tops off and quarter the tomatoes. Slice the garlic.
In a medium-sized pot, bring the oil to heat over a high flame. When it's hot, add the cumin and garlic and fry for a few seconds until the garlic browns slightly.
Then mix in the tomatoes, sugar, chilli and coriander. Cook on a high flame, stirring every two minutes, for about 10 until the tomatoes disintegrate. In the meantime, soak the kasoori methi in a tiny cup with two tablespoons of hot water. This will help balance the sweet and spicy soup with its bitterness.
Then take the pan off the heat for a few seconds, stir in the methi and go in with a hand blender to puree all the contents. If you don't have a hand blender, just wait for the contents to cool a bit and transfer them to a larger blender. If you don't have any blenders, just pass the contents through a sieve or colander.
Add salt to taste and enjoy piping hot.
Congrats Miss Masala 😀 I am so happy for u and looking forward to adding ur glossy book to my tiny cookbook collection 🙂

oh my goodness! two things in less than two months! congratulations. The baby is excited too, I am sure. I am really really happy for you. It seems like it's long time in coming but glad that it's here! When the book comes out, can I get a signed copy? 🙂
Congrats Mallika!!! That is awesome! Somehow this news does not surprise me! 🙂
Congrats, Mallika!! That's great news! And Miss Masala seems like such an appropriate name 🙂
I second Cindy..do you need any recipe testers?
congrats Mallika, that's wonderful news 🙂 Looking forward to adventures of Miss Masala!
Congrats Mallika..that's wonderful..really happy for ya. The color of the shorba is beautiful.
Wow, Way to go girl! Congratulations!!!!!
WOW fantastic news! Congratulations!
I'm not too surprised, you know! I always thought you're publishing material! 😀
Let me know if you need any recipe testers! 😀
Wow. That is amazingly cool. Could you be any more boggged down with news? You know what they say… "Jamais deux sans trois!"
I wonder what the third thing will be?
Oh, superb! If there was a blogger I'd want to write a book, it'd be you. Will be first on the pre-order form. xx
Hola , Namesake ! Hooray for you and looking forward to the book 🙂
Many congratulations, Mallika!!!!!
This is fantastic news! Am very happy for you as you're one of my fave Indian food blogs 🙂
Can't say I'm surprised that you're going to be published as your writing is witty and entertaining too.
Oh wow, congratulations! Well, not so surprised, really, the blog is so nicely done and the recipes are right on the money. Now, will you take on Ramsay when you get your own show? We dare him to accept the challenge…

Have you realized how incredibly important your personal finances are? It is because what you do now for your personal finances not only impacts your life today but also has far reaching impacts into your future. Do you know what actually personal finance is? How does that look for you? And also how can you best set yourself up for financial success in the future?
What is personal finance?
It encompasses everything about the way you manage your money. So, basically your personal finance is unique to you. Therefore it has nothing to do with the economy. That means what your buddies, co-workers, family members, and whoever else does is going to look very different from what you end up doing. At the end of the day, personal finance boils down to you and the way you approach your financial pillars.
Are you aware of the financial pillars? The four pillars of personal finance are:
Saving: How you keep your money
Investing: How you let your money grow
Earning: How you make more money
Spending: How you use your money to purchase things
MoneyMindz.com, Free Financial and Investment Assistance Portal breaks down each pillar now and sees how you should be approaching each.
It encompasses all of the actions and tactics you take in order to save money. This happens to be the system people mess up all. The. TIME. You must have heard of saying advice like:
Keep a budget
Cut out lattes
Collect your spare change in a jar
Don't eat out and cook your own food
This advice might make sense at first, it's not that great. But actually it's worse than not great. This can be downright harmful if you rely on these as your only methods of saving money. Such financial "advice" like "keep a budget" and "cut out lattes" to save money doesn't work because it solely relies on human willpower. As human power is limited. It means we only have so much of it we can devote to one action before it runs out.
When we have to do things like give up lattes and check our budget spreadsheets every day, we overexert our willpower and end up giving up our goal of saving money entirely. Therefore you should be able to save money without relying on your willpower. You only need the right savings systems.
This is the single most important thing you can do today to ensure your financial success in the future. It can be termed as that old adage. Like the best time to plant tree was 100 years ago. The next best time is now. That is the reason why you need to invest as early and often as possible for your success.
There's a limit to how much you can save — but there's no limit to how much you can earn. The power of earning more is one thing people don't often realize. Instead of trying to pinch every penny and cut out the things you love in order to save your money, you should focus on making more money so you can spend guilt-free.
There are plenty of people who take spending too far, but it's not spending that's led to financial downturns — it's not being conscious with your spending that can lead to unhealthy financial habits. You should be able to save money purposefully by avoiding the mindless spending that can come from disorganized finances.

Aims and activity
The substance of the programme of the Chair of Vocal Studies is subordinated to the ultimate goal, i.e., teaching solo singing. In addition to their individual training students undergo a wide range of other forms of instruction, from regular concerts and performances prepared by teachers responsible for different subjects to young singers' participation in singing competitions, master courses, demonstrative lessons etc., in Poland and abroad, as well as participation in important musical events, particularly alongside outstanding vocalists. One of the significant determinants of quality of teaching for future singers is cooperation with other chairs of the University of Music, especially those which focus on the art of performance.
A particularly important aspect of the activity of the Chair of Vocal Studies is organizing master courses led by outstanding figures in the music world.
A permanent and very important point of the Chair's activity is the organization of the Interuniversity Edmund Kossowski Performance of Polish Artistic Songs Competition and sessions devoted to the issues connected with Polish songs and opera.
The Chair's Faculty is also striving to achieve the best possible results by perfecting its own skills. It is the task of the Chair of Vocal Studies to put forward motions to the Department Council to initiate the procedures for conferring consecutive scientific titles. To this end Faculty members also engage in other forms of activity such as participation and exchange of ideas in scholarly conferences, sessions, lectures, meetings and courses for singing teachers. These activities are realized at universities in Poland and on other national and international forums.
Thematic concerts and seminars of the Chair
- The Meanders of Interpretation — a series of research and didactic sessions
- Programmes without Frames — student/teacher concerts
- Great Singers and Teachers — a series of "in memoriam" seminars
- Elements of Vocal Education — a series of discussion forums prepared by the Chair Faculty

You have problems, I have advice. This advice isn't sugar-coated — in fact, it's sugar-free, and may even be a little bitter. Welcome to Tough Love.
How To Get Someone To Stop Talking In A Baby Voice
You have problems, I have advice. This advice isn't sugar-coated — in fact, it's sugar-free, and may even be a little bitter. Welcome to Tough Love.
This week we have a guy who wants to end things with his sex buddy who seems to think they're something more.
Keep in mind, I'm not a therapist or any other kind of health professional — just a guy who's willing to tell it like it is. I simply want to give you the tools you need to enrich your damn lives. If for whatever reason you don't like my advice, feel free to file a formal complaint here. Now then, let's get on with it.
I work for a large company and ended up hanging out with a coworker (in a different department) who I eventually had sex with. The kicker, though, is that I've never been incredibly into "dating" her. We talked about sex from the beginning and we finally crossed that line. Since then we've had sex maybe 10 to 15 times (all of them pretty fantastic by the way), but I can tell that she is leaning toward wanting more. She uses pet names and I don't. We have only hung out at our apartments — we don't hang out at work at all — and we've never gone on a date. I've brought her Starbucks twice… and that's the extent of it.
I usually skirt the issue and let her know that I'm busy. I text her back but I don't really initiate the texting, and I've slowed down my need for sex with her significantly. But we always end up hanging out when I'm bored on Saturday and having sex anyway. I don't dislike her company, but when we are done I can tell with her that it is much more than sex.
Even though she has said she's fine with just sex, I feel like she wants more. It's been over a year since we first started talking and I'm starting to believe she thinks we are more serious than we are. I've never been great about breaking up and so I'm curious what this type of situation requires. Can I text her? A phone call? An in-person awkward conversation? I want to be respectful but I also don't want it to seem more serious than it is. I feel like if I talk to her in person I'm somewhat acknowledging the "commitment" that I've never truly felt.
Not Feeling It
Hey Not Feeling It,
I gotta say, a little communication would have gone a long way in this situation. First off, you should absolutely talk to her in person about ending things. How old are you, dude? You've been intimate with this woman at least 10 times over the course of several months, for Pete's sake! And you've been friends — FRIENDS — for over a year! I don't understand why you don't think that warrants a face-to-face... What, you can only see her in person if it means you get to bang her? Damn, man, have some empathy.
Talking to her like she's a person you even remotely care about does not automatically mean you were once committed in a super-serious relationship. Even if it did, you're looking to end things, so it doesn't matter. There's no Serious Relationships Bureau that will note it down on your permanent record. Call her, ask her to meet you somewhere public (not your apartments or where you work), and tell her what's going on. She might be fine with it ending because she wants something real. She might be a little confused and you'll have to explain what's bothering you. Or, OR! You might just find out that you're not the mega-stud you thought you were, and that she isn't interested in anything more either.
Maybe she means it when she says "she's fine with just sex", maybe the pet names are because she doesn't want to say your name (or doesn't want to mix it up with someone else's), maybe the fact you've never gone on a date or been anywhere but your apartments is exactly what she wanted too, maybe the fact that she initiates the texting makes you HER booty call. I'm not saying this is the case, but you'll never really know until you talk to her about this stuff.
Have you thought about this situation from her perspective at all? Perhaps she's not this damaged, precious thing that needs anything beyond your "pretty fantastic" lovin'. Either way, man up and talk to her, in person, with your mouth. You'll be fine, and you'll have an opportunity to clear the air if there's any confusion. This what mature, respectful adults do.
How To Schedule Sex And Still Enjoy It
The phrase 'scheduled sex' evokes dread for most couples. We have the idea that sex is always supposed to be spontaneous, so making the decision to schedule sex feels like an admission that your sex life is officially dead. But scheduled sex actually be way more fun than you think. Here's how.
Now, before you go, Not Feeling It, I have one more piece of advice. I don't know what kind of conversations you've had, you didn't say, but if things are actually the way you say they are, you should have been more upfront about the situation right from the get go. You should have said you're not interested in dating or getting serious because your current timeline of "hanging out > becoming friends > having sex > continuing to do so" sure looks an awful lot like typical dating trajectory. I could see where one might get confused if you weren't explicitly clear about just being sex buddies.
That's it for this week! I probably won't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but sometimes what you need is some tough love. 'Til next time, figure things out for yourself.

Market under the Stars
Barga Giardino was full of bustling people this evening all enjoying the balmy July evening air as they slowly walked through the market stalls shopping, chatting and generally enjoying themselves.
It was a just another market day in Barga except that this one was slightly different.
It was midnight and this was the Mercato Sotto le stelle – The Market under the Stars. Traffic was backed up down the main road into Barga as people thronged through the streets trying on necklaces, buying hats or shoes or candyfloss and all with an almost full moon up above lighting up the whole busy scene.
Last years midnight market can be seen hereand if anybody missed tonight's market then the next Market under the Stars for those who still think that shopping IS a leisure activity can be found on the 23rd July, the 30th July and the 6th August.

Working his way to the top
Toro Rosso star and Spanish home hero Carlos Sainz Junior clearly has charisma and talent in spades – no question about that – but in the end, there is no substitute for hard work. And it's equally obvious where the 22-year-old's work ethic comes from.
Wherever you are in the world, the older generation likes to complain about the fecklessness of modern disaffected youth, but that syndrome hasn't reached Madrid. Carlitos has a towering, entirely justified, respect for his famous father, who has sometimes shown him tough love but has always been there as his most committed supporter: a confidant, travelling companion, advisor and friend as much as a parent.
"First, Carlos had to show that he really wanted to do this and was prepared to work very hard for it," explains Carlos Senior – a two-time world rally champion with Pirelli – reflecting on his son's racing career. "Then, from the start, I said to him that if he was willing to do the work, then I was willing to help him. But first he had to work hard, or I would not help him."

The Welsh Showdown; Coasteering and Cliff-Jumping
#Coasteering is a trendy new sport for travel adventurists and the Pembrokeshire coastline of West #Wales is said to be the place to try it. So we did and it was more fun than nerve-wracking, and a more #active way to take in the beautiful coastal scenery.
Legs wobbly, stomach queasy, I am about to take the leap off a 15-feet tall cliff. Looking down at the churning waters, my head swirls but before I know it, I'm in the air, plunging feet first into the sea. Seconds later I resurface, only to be swept by a gratifying sense of high.
I am coasteering along the Pembrokeshire coastline of West Wales, getting a taste of the country's wild side. It's Day 3 of the Great Welsh Showdown (a challenge VisitBritain had set me up with) and our group of bloggers are putting our wits and courage to the test.
What is Coasteering?
Coasteering involves scrambling around the coastline from rock to rock, navigating sea caves, clambering up to the craggy cliff tops and jumping off into the waters. Participants are given wetsuits and crash helmets and are accompanied by instructors to ensure safety.
Sea Kayak Courses in Pembrokeshire
Guided bus Tour in Bristol
A brand new sport that pioneered in the area, coasteering is the trendiest outdoor activity in town and the Welsh coastline is said to be the place to try it.

Scaling the Pembrokeshire Coastline
Earlier that morning, we had started out from a gorgeous, quiet bay, clambering along the steep cliff surface to get to a tiny pebble beach where we would start our navigation. Our instructors from the Preseli Venture, John and Libby, guided us through the wading water, constantly watching out for the tide.
Our first element to navigate – a sea cave. The raging waters threw us around the giant cave, like a washing machine swirling its dirty laundry. We giggled and laughed like a bunch of school kids, enjoying the thrill more than anything.
Soon came the scaling and we were clambering up barnacle-studded rocks like drenched monkeys. We started out with a low cliff, belly-flopping our way into the water to make sure we were comfortable leaping off.
Higher and higher we went to plunge off from greater heights, challenging ourselves to our limits. The highest height was topped at 15 feet, where it was still safe to jump.
For someone wild at heart but wimpy with heights like myself, cliff-jumping was more fun than terrifying, and more adrenaline than nerve-wrecking.
Here's a video of me and our group of bloggers jumping off a 15-foot cliff. Check out our pre-jump screams!

The Nigerian government has given all foreigners involved in mining activities in Zamfara State 48 hours to leave the sites.
The government announced a ban on all mining activities as part of measures to restore peace in the state.
Bandits have been attacking villages in Zamfara for almost two years now.
Hundreds have been killed while several others have been kidnapped for ransom.
The bandits also often destroy houses and properties of villagers.
Nigerians staged protest marches in Abuja and other cities on Saturday demanding urgent action to end killings by the bandits.
Following the protests, President Muhammadu Buhari said ending banditry remains a priority of his administration and he would do whatever it takes to save lives.
He, however, called on Nigerians not to politicise the matter
The decision to ban mining and sack foreigners from sites was revealed by the acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, on Sunday while briefing State House correspondents in Abuja.
Mr Adamu said the government took the measure because intelligence reports "clearly established a strong and glaring nexus between the activities of armed bandits and illicit miners -with both mutually re-enforcing each other".
Announcing that mining activities in Zamfara and other affected states are suspended with immediate effect, the IGP said: "any mining operator who engages in mining activities in the affected locations henceforth will have his licence revoked".
He also said: " all foreigners operating in the mining fields should close and leave within 48hours".
The Police boss assure the general public, especially in the affected areas, that the security services are doing their best to address the situation.

Ten years. Two contenders. One winner of a $1 million prize.
On one side, legendary investor Warren Buffett; on the other, fund of hedge funds operator Protege Partners. The battle? Whose net returns will be higher over the next decade: five of the world's most successful hedge funds ... or the passive Vanguard 500 Index Fund?
If it's not obvious by now ...
Buffett believes the index fund will win. It might seem shocking that he'd put so little confidence in such bright investors, but a judgment of investing prowess isn't the reason behind Buffett's bearish bet.
Instead, as he explained in a recent Fortune article, the hedge fund managers' efforts "are self-neutralizing, and their IQ will not overcome the costs they impose on investors." [Emphasis mine.]
Buffett's not insulting the investing acumen of hedge fund managers. But he is making a pretty bold statement about the fees they're charging, and how quickly they destroy investors' wealth.
It all comes down to the price you pay
Every year, the typical hedge fund collects 2% of the amount invested, as well as 20% of any profits made. It's not difficult for any student of mathematics to understand that, over time, this seemingly small amount can become quite significant.
And although you might not invest in hedge funds, odds are you have a mutual fund or two -- maybe even more -- in your portfolio. Those funds might charge similar fees that could prevent you from cashing in on gains made with your money.
Compare these two seemingly identical index funds:
Fund Name
Vanguard 500 Index
MainStay S&P 500 Index A
Front Load
Expense Ratio
Top 5 Holdings
ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), General Electric, AT&T, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG)
ExxonMobil, General Electric, AT&T, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble
3-Year Annualized Returns
Morningstar data as of 6/24/2008. Vanguard holdings as of 3/31/2008; MainStay holdings as of 4/30/2008.
As you can see, the difference in fees between these two funds with identical holdings makes a difference in returns received, even in as little as three years. Over a decade or more, we're talking about potentially missing out on thousands of dollars.
But it's even more unfortunate, as the Buffett example drives home, that paying high fees for actively managed funds can produce performance much worse than even a cheap, passive index fund.
Here are two funds for which investors paid handsomely, only to reap a net loss over the same time frame:
Fund Name
Boyer Value
Natixis Harris Associates Focused Value A
Front Load
Expense Ratio
Top 5 Holdings
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), Travelers, McDonald's, Time Warner (NYSE: TWX), American Financial
Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), National Semiconductor, PerkinElmer, Virgin Media, Robert Half International (NYSE: RHI)
3-Year Annualized Returns
Data from Morningstar as of 6/24/2008. Boyer holdings as of 3/31/2008; Natixis Harris holdings as of 4/30/2008.
All of the reasons above help explain why, in our Champion Funds newsletter service, we recommend mutual funds run by managers who outperform the market over the long term without charging you either an arm or a leg. Our average fund recommendation has an expense ratio of 0.92%, compared to the average domestic fund's expense ratio of 1.37%, and none of our picks have front-end loads. Collectively, they are beating the market by more than 21 percentage points!

Knee issues and injuries are a debilitating problem for people of all ages, however, there has been a shocking 70% increase in young Australians having ACL reconstruction surgery over the last 15 years. This is largely due to sports that involve impact and sudden direction changes such as skiing, netball, football and martial arts. As children's sport becomes more professional and the demands on young bodies more rigorous, solutions are needed to reduce the rate of knee injury which is also putting them at risk of Osteoarthritis in later life.
Many of my Pilates clients deal with knee pain at some point in their lives due to a large and varied number of reasons.
How Does Pilates Offer Solutions?
Pilates provides the perfect tools to assist with stabilizing the knee joint and strengthening the surrounding muscles, but as muscles don't work in isolation it's necessary to view the body as a whole. Everything...

Eww. Your baby's car seat could be dirtier than your toilet
After reading this, you may be tempted to rush out to the car and burn the baby seat to the ground. But don't go lighting the matches just yet!
Before I head off on a road trip with the family, I like to make sure the car is clean, both inside and out. That includes a quick vacuum of the car's interior, my daughter's car seat and my son's booster, then an external clean either by hand or at the local car wash depending on the weather.
Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this.
I can't say I take the actual car seat cover off and wash it very often, since we've not dealt with a poonami or car seat spew in a few years, but I've just read something that has made me want to race home and whip the cover off quick smart.
The danger of leaving your child in the car
"30 different types of bacteria"
Which.co.uk has investigated bugs and germs on child car seats, revealing not only a range of "grim bacteria" living on them, but that they could make our children sick.
Swabs were taken from the buckles, harnesses and headrests of various car seats. The results were compared to those taken from toilet seats with shocking findings.
"We found 30 different types of bacteria on the car seats we tested, spread over the three swabbed locations, compared to 16 different bugs on the toilet seats," said the report.
The report also warned that the consequences could be as dire as a sepsis infection if the bacteria that was identified as Enterobacteriaceae and Enterococci was to enter an open wound on a newborn.
Keep them smiling - clean that car seat! Image: iStock.
What can we do?
If you're not quite ready to throw your car seat into a fire pit and burn it, there are some things you can do to be rid of those toilet germs from inside your car. But it requires more than just a simple vacuum. If you're ever in doubt, always check with your car seat's manufacturer for cleaning recommendations.
InfaSecure have different guidelines for various models of seats, some requiring hand wash only, while others may be washed on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent.
As a guide, Britax recommends you follow the care instructions on your car seat cover. They also have a great resource for how to clean the buckles on their car seats when they become "sluggish" which can happen when drinks and crumbs get inside them. Your seatbelt buckle is sluggish if you can't hear an audible "click" when buckling your child in. Here's what you can do to fix that:
- Remove the buckle from the seat following the instructions on the Britax website
- Let warm, running water (no hotter than 40 degrees) run through the buckle for five minutes
- Engage and disengage the tongues and buckles several times until you hear that 'click' again
- If no audible 'click', repeat rinsing step several times
- If you're still having trouble getting that 'click' back in your Britax car seat, contact the Britax Customer Support team
- Make sure you refit the buckle to the restraint correctly as per the detailed instructions on the Britax website.
It's really important that you consult the instructions accompanying your own car seat.
And wash those babies ASAP. I know what I'll be doing next weekend!

The handling race is a specially designed fence construction to separate cows from the herd individually or in groups.
The handling race can easily be operated by one person and is therefore a relief for many dairy farmers. Basically the handling race has been designed for medium-sized and large operations, but could also be used in smaller sized barns.

Following the success of the latest season of Top Gear, this year the series is getting a Christmas special.
It's been four years since the motoring show has aired a one-off Christmas episode, but the new line-up has been going down a treat with viewers leading to an early recommission and now the Christmas special.
BBC just announced the news today and Paddy McGuinness, Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris will be travelling to a yet to be revealed country in Asia.
BBC Two controller Patrick Holland said: 'Top Gear has come back with a real bang and we couldn't be happier with how the audience is responding.
'I am delighted that this Christmas we'll have a special adventure which promises to be epic and gruelling in true Top Gear style.'
This will be the first Top Gear Christmas special since 2014 when Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May travelled to Patagonia.
If the new episodes of op Gear are anything to go by, this special should be pretty hilarious.
The new series continues this Sunday on BBC Two and will see Freddie head to Iceland to compete in the world's maddest motorsport, while Paddy gets to grips with the new Toyota Supra.
Chris will be investigating the story of the Lotus 79, the so-called 'most beautiful F1 car of all time'.
Top Gear continues on Sunday at 8pm on BBC Two.

How to save the outsourced app development cost and establish quality guarantees in advance
In 2009, Apple had published an iPhone 3g commercial with a catchy slogan "There's an app for that," which was trademarked by the company later in 2010.
During that time, there were over 250,000 apps in the App Store. Today, there are 2 million apps in the world according to the information from the app stores both for the iOS and Android products. And these are only mobile apps.
There are no exact statistics on the total number of cloud-based web applications in the world, but there are stats on the number of users. According to Statista, the number of consumer cloud-based service users worldwide has grown from 2.4 billion in 2013 to 3.6 billion in 2018.
Today, the "There's an app for that" slogan has become a buzzword, meaning response to someone else's problems, as per Urban Dictionary. In other words, it is possible to solve any problem with an app today – and this is probably true.
There are mobile apps for almost everything and in any industry – be it real estate, healthcare, insurance, retail, or finance. And today many big enterprises are embracing the power of cloud computing and migrating their ERPs and CRMs to the cloud. By 2020, there will be about 5 million apps in the world, as predicted by TechCrunch.
There may even be a shortage of app development resources in the United States, United Kingdom, and Western Europe if we consider the general trend of such shortage. The number one solution is to outsource app development to offshore destinations.
In this article, we will highlight the benefits and risks of app development outsourcing as well as explain how to minimize those risks. We will also give you some important points to consider if you decide upon offshore app development.
Step 1 of outsourcing app development is to engage an appropriate and high-quality software development partner.
Step 2 is to ensure all guarantees are foreseen. You obviously don't want to be overcharged when you outsource mobile app development let's say to some software agency in Poland.
It is important that you establish leverage over the vendor in the early days of the partnership so that if they aren't delivering a quality output then you can take action and in a worst-case scenario have a painless way out and can get your outsource app development cost back.
Benefits of outsourced application development
If you delegate the app development to an offshore team, you will get the following advantages:
Reduced costs
The cost of living in outsourcing destinations such as India, China, or Eastern Europe, is significantly lower than in the US, UK, or Western Europe. Therefore, even the highest rates in, say, Ukraine will be lower than the lowest rates in the US. For example, the salary of a junior iOS developer in the US is starting from $43,000/year. At the same time, the salary of a senior iOS developer in Ukraine is starting from $42,000/year.
Saved time
If you choose the outstaffing model when outsourcing the app development, you will not spend much time on hiring, training and retaining employees. You will get a ready-made team that has completed many similar projects, built many apps, and can contribute to your project with their experience.
The high quality of work delivered
You can browse websites such as Clutch.co, find the application development outsourcing agencies across the world, and shortlist those that are highly rated by previous clients.
Risks of outsourced application development
At the same time, outsourcing carries certain risks, such as:
Collaboration with offshore teams is typically remote, though the leaders of in house teams often visit the offshore destinations. However, even those visits may not be enough to ensure that everything is understood correctly and not misinterpreted.
Time zone differences
Offshore destinations – as their name supposes – are typically located very far away from the client's country. Thus, both countries need to find a convenient time overlap to hold meetings and discuss important problems. And if an offshore team has an urgent issue that cannot be solved without an in-house team, this issue can be quickly escalated. Besides, it can be difficult to control the quality of work because of those differences.
However, now there are special tools on the market that can help you control the time zone differences. And if the difference is extremely inconvenient for you but you still want to outsource app development, you can try nearshoring – outsourcing to the nearest country or region. For example, it can be Latin America for the United States or Eastern Europe for the United Kingdom.
Cultural differences
Members of both the in-house and offshore teams have various cultural backgrounds and different approaches to work as well. This can result in a different perception of issues – for example, developers in Asia tend to hush up any problems that they encounter because of fear to be punished.
Therefore, the company should have a clear culture code that the team members should adhere to. And, what's more important, offshore team members should be treated the same way as the in-house ones.
The leak of confidential information
When outsourcing an app development project, the client will have to entrust the outsourcing company with its sensitive data, and in some cases even the sensitive data of its customers. To minimize those risks, the client company should take the corresponding legal and organizational measures, such as having the offshore developers sign an NDA.
How to outsource app development without the risk
Before you outsource mobile app development or web app development, you can resort to certain measures that can help you reduce or eliminate any possible risks.
The first step that you should take is to engage an appropriate and high-quality software development partner. The second step is to make sure that all guarantees are foreseen. It is important that you establish leverage over the vendor in the early days of the partnership. If they aren't delivering quality output, then you can take action and in a worst-case scenario have a painless way out and get the money back. Further measures are as follows:
1. Ensure there is a Money Back Guarantee in place
Ensuring that you have a money-back guarantee in place is super important. If you are not satisfied with the quality of the work, it is not fair for you to have to pay for it. Make sure you have a relevant clause, covering this risk in the contract.
2. Trial phases & account management
As a client-side project manager, I often suggest doing a trial phase complete with a test assignment instead of paying large sums up front. Try to set up a short trial period of 2 weeks to a month within which the development firm has to deliver their best possible services to you and demonstrate they are right for your project. In such a way they can demonstrate that they are the right fit for your project.
If you are not that experienced with delivering software projects, but your management team decided to outsource android app development to either nearshore or offshore software company, it makes sense to hire a client-side project manager to manage risks on an ongoing basis. Within the YouTeam model, you are assigned an Account Manager who makes sure that communication, performance and financial aspects of the project are taken care of. The account manager is a third party and is hence impractical to make sure projects are done in a consistent way.
3. Key the code on the client-side
Another basic and essential step is to set up your own client-side repository to take custody of the code immediately, which prevents the Software Development company from not transferring you the code in the case of disagreement. It also ensures that you are not obligated to pay for poor quality code.
4. Avoid paying out large lump sums early on
It is advisable to request as detailed a cost breakdown of the scope of works as possible, which will make the Contract Management a breeze. Whilst the project is in its early stages try to avoid paying out large lump sums. Until you've been working with a vendor for 6+ months you can't be too confident in their ability to deliver.
Vijay, Founder and CEO at SoftwareTestingHelp, argues, we can not totally avoid these risks but surely we can mitigate the impact:
The biggest risk is, whether the outsourced team is capable of handling the project. You should check complete background and progress history of the outsourcing company. Start with small contracts and progress gradually by increasing the work.Click to tweet
The second biggest risk is – outsourcing cost. Check if the outsourcing contract is clear enough to handle increased workload, team size, and duration. There should be a clear agreement on all these things to avoid any additional cost burden and legal issues.Click to tweet
5. Leverage the benefits of code and payment escrow offer by outsourcing platforms
One of the major benefits of using one of the hiring platforms – YouTeam, Upwork, TopTal and others is that they offer escrow services, whereby your payments are only released when you are satisfied with the quality of the work. And pretty much the same is done with the code, we call this code escrow!
The bottom line
Today the apps rule the world and there's an app for almost everything. That's why the demand for app developers is constantly growing and, due to the shortage of tech talent in the US and Western Europe, app development outsourcing is becoming a trend.
Outsourced application development brings companies the following benefits:
- Reduced costs
- Saved time
- The high quality of work delivered
At the same time, companies carry the following risks:
- Miscommunication
- Time zone differences
- Cultural differences
- Leak of confidential information
And here's how to reduce these risks:
Once you have all the milestones in place and they have demonstrated their ability to deliver quality reliably then you will have a significantly better chance of establishing a win-win collaboration with your chosen software development firm.
We at YouTeam make it easy and safe to find a perfectly matching team of engineers for any type of project.

Hansfords Menswear is probably the largest stockist of these shirts in the UK. And here we try to give some insight into this unique brand,whose distinctive use of contrasting and patterned interior collar and cuff trims,combined with extremely high quality fabrics and superb make quality,has led to them being so successful.
Oscar of Sweden is a family owned business,founded in 1949 and originally run from a small basement. Focusing their attention only on shirts the company gradually grew larger over the years.
Owners Per and Eva Ahman entered the buisiness at an early age, pressing collars and cutting cloth under their father's watchful eye. They soon learned the necessity of putting careful consideration and thought into every part of the process.
Today, Oscar shirts are designed and developed in Boras, Sweden and production is done in Poland, using the best quality fabrics chosen from mills across Europe. Oscar proudly stands for the best in make quality and the best in cloth quality.
They are very single minded about shirts. They want to make a shirt elegant enough to be worn to a Nobel Prize banquet.
A shirt made with care and attention,and with a story behind it. A shirt that makes you remarkable. To create that kind of a shirt takes a lot of thought. Not a single detail can be left to chance.
So they search for new ideas, travelling the world to find them if necessary. They study the worlds best fabrics and yarns and take their time to think about it. So far, the sketch pad is empty. But not for long.
Making a perfect shirt is precision work. Their tailors, designers and engineers share a mutual task: Creating that perfect shirt. Starting in 1949, they have had the time to overcome all obstacles and correct mistakes. To simply get it right. It is still a challenge though. Perhaps it lays in the nature of this work, where everything changes all the time. So they continue to strive for perfection. Building from a foundation of acquired knowledge, they look forward to the next 60 years and what it might bring.

New York Times previews NJSO Florence Price concerto performances
The New York Times previews NJSO performances of Florence Price's Piano Concerto, November 29–December 2.
THE NEW YORK TIMES As Price's music is increasingly recognized by a previously neglectful classical mainstream, the concerto has begun to see the wider renown it deserves. This week in Newark and New Brunswick, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra places it alongside other modernist classics including Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," led by the imaginatively improvisational pianist Aaron Diehl and conductor Joshua Weilerstein.
Rhapsody in Blue & The Firebird
2018–19 Season
JOSHUA WEILERSTEIN conductor
AARON DIEHL piano
MILHAUD La création du monde
French composer Milhaud heard jazz in Harlem during a 1922 visit and brought the sound back to Paris for this lively ballet based on African folk mythology.
GERSHWIN Rhapsody in Blue
Gershwin called this iconic piece "a musical kaleidoscope of America, of our vast melting pot, of our national pep, of our blues, our metropolitan madness."
PRICE Piano Concerto (NJSO Premiere)
Florence Price was the first African-American female composer to be performed by major orchestras; her lush concerto skillfully blends classical and popular styles. Read an article from The New Yorker on the "The Rediscovery of Florence Price: How an African-American composer's works were saved from destruction."
STRAVINSKY Suite from The Firebird (1919)
Lavish, vibrant, iconic; tells the tale of the Firebird, whose power is brilliantly illustrated by the thrilling score.

School district gains recognition under superintendent
During Superintendent Pat Greco's seven-year tenure, the School District of Menomonee Falls in Wisconsin has won a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Top Workplace award three years in a row.
Menomonee Falls High School has also earned $2.3 million in scholarships and won Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association Sportsmanship Awards three times, and the school has awarded 130 students with AP Scholars honors.
As a result, Greco was named Wisconsin's 2018 Superintendent of the Year by the Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators.
Superintendent James Thompson of Bloomfield Public Schools in Connecticut has increased the high school graduation rate by 17 percent, and led students to outgain state averages on standardized tests.
Bloomfield was among the state's poorest-performing districts when Thompson arrived in 2011. Now U.S. News & Report ranks Bloomfield High School as the 36th best high school in Connecticut; AP participation rate at the school is 35 percent and total minority enrollment is 98 percent.
Thompson was chosen school superintendent of the year by the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents.
Jack Corey, principal of Withrow University High School in Cincinnati Public Schools, celebrated his 50th birthday by running 50 miles on the school track to show students they can overcome any obstacle through passion and determination.
Corey invited students to join him on the track during the ultramarathon for moral support and then to participate in an activities fair.
Sandra Edwards, a principal in Florida's School District of Palm Beach County, boosted Washington Elementary's state-appointed grade from an F in 2016 to a B the following year—one of only 12 F schools statewide to jump by three grades.
Edwards added 30 minutes to the school day, hired math and reading tutors, and rewarded students with prizes for good conduct. From 2016 to 2017, there was a 9 percent increase in students passing the state reading exam (63 percent performed better overall), and a 21 percent increase in students passing the math exam.
Overall, 83 percent of the school's bottom test-takers made learning gains. Edwards was named 2017 principal of the year for the district.

Here's something different which I have found helpful for myself, enjoy. Suffice to say I use and am still doing the stuff below. Have a good laugh from a fellow preacher.
10 Tips for Putting People to Sleep During Your Sermon
1. Make sure that your material is dry and boring. Make sure that your material is either highly technical or complex. If at all possible fill your sermon with specialized academic content that is not easily understood without prior study and research.
2. Do not include any explanations or illustrations to make the content understandable to the average person in your audience.
3. Schedule your sermon to be at the end of a long day or after a big meal. This will give added incentive for drowsiness and lethargy.
4. Speak softly and avoid any expression or vocal variety that might distract or interest your audience.
5. Stand still behind the pulpit for the entire sermon. Any movement or sudden gestures could wake up your audience.
6. Avoid any variation in style in your presentation. Do not change from talking to using a flip chart, PowerPoint or any other kind of visual aid or prop that will attract attention.
7. Do NOT include any humor or stories in your sermon that might illustrate the important points you wish to communicate.
8. Do not keep to the topic of the sermon. Spend a large amount of time rambling about subjects or personal experiences that are boring and totally off topic.
9. Speak about a topic that is very familiar to your audience. Keep your content to things that they already know.
10. Provide highly detailed handouts, so that your congregation will not miss out on any important information during their snooze. Make sure that you do not say anything that is not included in the hand out. For best results, just read the handout word for word.
Hopefully, by following carefully the ten tips outlined here, you will have the satisfaction of seeing an entire congregation snoring quietly and happily throughout your entire sermon. If you do not follow these tips you may be alarmed to discover that your audience is alert and interested in what you have to say!

ALL week the nation fixed its agonized attention on Qa Khanna, the stretch of Jordanian desert where three hijacked airliners rested improbably, like a mirage of beached whales. The piracies represented an oddly terrifying juxtaposition of technology and barbarism, an almost science-fiction quality of civilization in a retrograde time machine, stranded abruptly in a desert waste. A handful of fanatics, equipped with nothing more complex than guns, dynamite and airline schedules, rendered some of the most advanced nations impotent to protect several hundred of their citizens (see THE WORLD).

Being your health coach, we are always up to new experiments to discover the best possible yet the healthiest way to reduce weight.
Recently we heard a great deal about 'no carbs after dark' diet. To know if 'no carb after dark' was just a fallacy or a fat killer, Fitso expert Dr. Ritu Kumari decided to conduct an experiment. But before telling you about our experimentation and its result, we would wish to partake in a few facts about carbohydrates with all our readers.
Why you should never cut down carbs altogether?
There are three primary reasons why we never ask our clients to reduce carbs completely from their everyday diet.
- Carbohydrates are a vital source of energy and are needed primarily to carry our various body functions. Our body can even derive energy from protein, but our brain can obtain power only through carbohydrates. If you cut carbs from your daily diet, you will start experiencing dizziness, mental confusion and lack of concentration along with generalized fatigue.
- Protein is needed by the body to repair cells and make new ones. If we cut carbohydrates, then the body will utilize protein to gain energy, and less protein will be available to carry out the wear and tear process.
- Carbohydrates promote the recovery from anaerobic and strenuous activity. During the periods of no activity, the extra carbs get stored so that they can be broken down to derive energy whenever required.
Carbs have earned a terrible reputation. They have been demonized as instigators of weight increase. Simply, you necessitate realizing the fact that crabs not only mean pasta or sugar. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds all are sources of carbohydrates. You need to acknowledge the sources of good carbs to be included in your diet and the sources of bad carbs you are required to exclude.
What are good carbohydrates and their sources
Refined carbohydrates such as white pasta and white bread are digested quickly and spike the blood glucose level. This in turn spikes hunger and you crave more sugar or carbs. The extra sugar is stored in muscles, and during the period of inactivity, they are converted into fat.
Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, are seen as good carbs. Their sources include whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Being rich in fiber this food takes time to digest, renders the feeling of fullness for a long time, promotes controlled eating and thus promotes weight loss.
How many calories you need to trim down when you are on a weight loss regimen?
On an average, a woman needs approximately 2000 calories per day, and men need 2500 calories per day. But if they are trying to lose weight they need to cut down the calorie intake. Traditionally if a woman wants to lose a pound in a week, she needs to reduce calorie intake to 1500. Similarly male needs to cut down the calorie intake to 2000 to lose a pound in a week. Cutting down more calories than recommended is unhealthy and leaves you mentally and physically exhausted. However, some other factors also play a significant role in counting calorie intake such as age, height, metabolic health, and activity level thus it is always better to consult your dietician once. Now according to 'The Dietary Guidelines for Americans' 45 to 65 percent of total calories should come from carbs. So, if you are on a weight loss program, I recommend moderate intake of carbs that means consuming 100 to 150 Grams of carbohydrates per day.
Where did this 'no carbs after dark' diet come from?
The hypothesis that holds that eating carb during night time or close to the bed time is the bad idea is that while sleeping the body metabolic rate slows, we burn less calorie, and so the extra calorie converts into fats. But, a few studies also show that during the latter half of the sleep the energy expenditure associated with REM sleep increases.
To find out if 'no carb after dark' is a fat killer or a fallacy let's head towards the trial on 'no carbs after dark' experiment.
The experiment on 'no carbs after dark.'
With the consent of our two clients, we began the study. Abide with the privacy terms we are introducing them as 'Client A' and 'Client B.'
'Client A' and 'Client B' both are 29 years old females of almost same stature and built. They both weighed about 75 Kgs and were desperate to lose weight. They both are working women and had sedentary life style.
Both 'Clients An' and 'Client B' to follow 1500 calorie diet strictly for two weeks along with 45 minutes of exercise 5 times in a week. They were needed to consume only 150 Grams of healthy carbohydrate every day. Aside from this, they had to maintain a food journal and note down everything they eat along with the eating time. Likewise, they were stated to note down any health issues and mood swings they experience. The only difference that was made in their diet schedule was that 'Client A,' was restricted from eating carbs after dark. She was suggested to consume the total amount of recommended carbs dividing it into 5 small meals before dark. During evening time she was advised to have vegies, chicken, seafood, lean meat, fish or egg.
The result of the experiment
After two weeks both the clients of were called. The Fitso team was glad to see that they both have reduced weight.
'Client A' lost almost 1.3 Kgs, and 'Client B' lost 1 kg. Going through their food diaries, our team found that both have strictly followed the given instructions.
'Client A' initially found it hard to curb her cravings for carbs after dark and face mood swings, but before long she started enjoying her new diet routine.
As 'Client A' lost more weight than client B so to some extent, our experiment favored the 'no carb diet after dark.'
But, as "Client B also reduced weight and there was not much divergence. Hence our experiment concludes following points:
- Carbohydrates are not your enemy during the night. You can have them unless they are adding extra calories to your daily recommended diet.
- More than the time of eating, it is what to eat and how much to eat that play an essential role in achieving an ideal body weight.
- If you want to lose weight, you need to trim down the excess calories. Meet your dietician to get your calorie need calculated.
- Key to ideal weight is to include healthy carbs to your food list.
- Likewise, you need to give a break to your sedentary life style and travel along a strict exercise routine. Dedicate at least 45 minutes/5 days in a week to exercise.
