You know what time of year it is?
Test week time! Yay!
Seriously, we've got a LOT of tests that count towards our school exams this week. Ohgodohgod. Not only that, but I want to do chemistry very well (for personal goal-ish-ness), but also got biology on Thursday (hard) and Dutch literature history on Friday (walls of text, I do say).
What's more, I'll be finally getting my much-needed haircut in a few hours. Normally I detest going to the barber, but it really is time for me to do so. My hair (usually out of proportions) has gone out of out of proportions.
Friends keep saying I should go bald, or at least very short, but blegh. Had that when I was a little kid. Grew it longer, discovered I had curly hair, and never went back. It's far from afro, but still pretty okay (does that sound arrogant?). Besides, they think they can be very forceful when they want to. Well, I experienced that first-hand (terrible story, something that'll have to wait another few years), but I ain't planning on letting them tell me what to do this time! Nope, nobody's touching my hair.
By the way, one of you asked (in the comments on my previous post) where you can get the Touhou games. Do a quick Google or torrent site search. Pre-patched translated versions are available.
So yeah, chemistry tomorrow. Need to get a pretty good grade to get my average to decent again. Hope it works out, but if it doesn't, no big deal, this test doesn't count towards the school exams anyway. (But HNNGGGGGHHHH, I'm getting a bit obsessed with getting a decent average on chemistry now.)
As always, have a nice day!

Tackling employee information overload
Share this page
There is a pressing need to bring meaning and purpose back into employees' working lives if they are not to disengage entirely, Armin Hopp says
Employees are becoming overloaded with information and overwhelmed by multiple channels of communication. This means for corporate learning that it can be an uphill struggle to keep learners on-task when you are competing against a cacophony of electronic noise.
App maker Locket was able to work out how many times people unlock their phone to look at it – this averaged out at a massive ten times per hour. Combine this with checking PC and tablet-based communication channels, from social media to collaboration software, encompassing instant messaging and traditional phone and text messages, and there is no doubt that this daily barrage of communication is causing more stress, decreased concentration and productivity for learners.
Unsurprisingly, Gallup research found that only 13 per cent of employees around the world are fully engaged at work and in China this number is only six per cent. Businesses have woken up to this issue – two-thirds of business leaders cite 'the overwhelmed employee' as a top business challenge in a Deloitte study, 'Global Human Capital Trends 2014'.
The same study found that only one in ten companies feel equipped to deal with the overwhelmed employee. Many of us spend more than two thirds of our waking hours at work but the signs are that as we spend an increasing number of hours working, the hours we put in are becoming less and less productive, as we struggle to handle the bombardment of electronic communication channels. At the same time, employees appear to be getting little support from HR. More than half (57 per cent) of HR executives who responded to the Deloitte study rated their capability to help employees manage information and schedules as 'weak' and 39 per cent rated it 'average'.
There is a pressing need to bring meaning and purpose back into employees' working lives if they are not to disengage entirely. Josh Bersin, co-author of the Deloitte study 'Global Human Capital Trends 2014', believes the number one reason people leave their job is for lack of learning and opportunity. He told the Huffington Post, "Our research shows that companies that invest more heavily in training, career development, and mobility far outperform their peers in almost every industry."
As organisations wake up to this and the business benefits that come from a flexible learning organisation that is constantly reskilling to meet the demands of global competition, many are implementing the latest solutions to address anything from compliance training to language learning. The danger is that this investment will be wasted if e-learning delivery becomes yet another channel of electronic bombardment.
Make your voice heard and switch on your learners
Set the stakes. Employees need to have a clear definition of their company's direction, mission and vision. Part of this mission should be to embed learning into everyday business culture. Getting a manager to explain in person what the organisation hopes to achieve through a learning and development strategy is a good start. Employees need to be able to prioritise learning above other demands when necessary, and management plays a key part in facilitating this.
Some points to consider.
- Switch off distractions. It is a good idea to design or procure a learning solution that prompts users to switch off all unrelated programmes or applications while learning, so as not to be distracted by constant alerts and pop-ups coming through.
- Set your learners free. A cloud-based solution that is flexible, mobile and runs on all devices, regardless of time and location, can free up your staff to learn in a way that suits them. This way, they can pick up their learning wherever they left off and continue learning while travelling or at home. They are not forced to learn only while in the office, where they may be caught up with other tasks.
- Get personal. Make content relevant and personal so that it stands a chance of competing with the latest viral video or Buzz feed quiz. People thrive on individual coaching and feedback. This need can be met by offering customised learning content and coaching, perhaps by appointing a personal coach who takes care of the learner by sending regular motivational emails and giving individual feedback on their progress. People waste as much as 41 per cent of their time on things that offer little personal satisfaction and do not help them get work done, according to the Deloitte researchers. So when students feel that training and development is relevant to their work, they will do much better.
- Go back to basics. Speexx has found that a low tech personal phone call to a student who is behind schedule with their training may be enough to cut through competing distractions, boost motivation and get them back up-to-speed.
- Never stop communicating. Start by explaining why an employee needs to learn something and how enhanced skills will contribute to the organisation's success as a whole. Keep in touch with the learner throughout the programme and make sure that he or she is recognised for completing the training successfully. Encourage learners to communicate with each other, providing peer support during training and afterwards, when trainees are applying their learning in the workplace.

It looks likethe innovative Pandora music streaming site will be launching some new socially-oriented features tonight, such as the ability for users to post bios on their profile pages and browse like-minded users.
According to TechCrunch,
which appears to have a little bit of inside info here, Pandora's update will include "listener profiles with musical preferences, bioinformation, etc. (previously listeners had only a list of bookmarkedsongs), as well as listener search and lists of users who are fans ofparticular bands."
Pandora already lets you share stations with friends, view other listeners' stations and profiles, and search for other users who like a certain artist or song. Tonight's tweaks should attract more prospective listeners by making the site a bit more sticky and MySpace-like.

First-timers welcome at Chicago Symphony Orchestra
What Chicago organization fits this description:
Was formed at the turn of the century
Has thousands of aficionados ranging from casual fans who enjoy them at home to big supporters who buy season tickets
Is known worldwide for being among the very best at what they do
I'll give you a hint – it's not the Cubs.
Founded in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently ranked as one of the best orchestras in the world. When it comes to the big leagues of music, the Windy City is definitely home of the champions! We are incredibly lucky to have such a talent rich and well-run institution in our city. If you've never seen them live, this is a great year to start.
But maybe you feel classical music can be a little intimidating. And…isn't it boring?
To both, I give a resounding NO! All it takes is a little knowledge to break down the intimidation. The CSO's web site is treasure trove of information, including the handy Plan your Experience page which includes answers to afraid-to-ask-questions such as "What should I wear?" and "When do I clap?"
As for boredom, here are two things to remember:
1) The CSO's signature sound is their bombastic brass section. If you pick the right concert, you'll be pinned to the back of your seat and far from bored!
2) The key to enjoying a classical concert is to listen to a piece at home before you hear it live. You'll have a deeper appreciation after you've heard it the first time. YouTube is a great resource for free orchestral music.
I've put together a small selection of upcoming concerts you might enjoy. Many programs are repeated, so see the links for a complete listing of dates…
Relaxing: Melt your troubles away with sonatas by Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms on November 17, 2010 8:00 PM
Music & Movies: The CSO will play along to a showing of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Shower scene violins, anyone? November 19, 2010 8:00pm
Holiday: Welcome Yule! starts December 17, 2010 7:00pm. Kids love this series.
Big and LOUD: Shostakovich's 5th Symphony is one of my favorites! Crank your speakers and listen to the 4th movement. This piece will be performed at the series starting February 3rd and again on April 8th.
There's a huge world of fun and emotional music waiting to be discovered! Want to learn more? Check out the CSO's Beyond the Score video series. Their educational department has paired popular works with narration and video to provide a sensory immersion in the music.
Symphony Center is a hive of activity, so be sure to consult the complete 2010-2011 schedule. I think you'll be surprised at the amount and variety of programs. See you there!

In February 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fined TD Ameritrade $10 million for failing to properly supervise its reps while the Reserve Primary Fund was losing value and eventually "broke the buck." Even with that historical collapse, the brokerage firm would rather see advisors regulated by the commission and not the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or some self-regulatory body. They went so far as to propose advisors pay the SEC to help cover the cost of continued commission oversight.
As of late February, TD Ameritrade clients still held a majority of the outstanding Reserve Primary shares after the fund has liquidated. Under the terms of its agreement with the SEC, the firm distributed the $10 million to its clients. However, the payment will still not make investors whole but will reduce their losses by approximately 10%. According to sources, it would have taken about a $40 million fine to fully replace all the money that Reserve Primary lost its shareholders.
The attorneys at Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter are investigating and filing arbitration claims on behalf of investors who lost money in the Reserve Primary Fund. If you lost shares in this fund, please contact our office for a free case evaluation.

How to Cut Fiberglass Resin
Fiberglass resin is a glass-reinforced plastic or fiber-reinforced polymer. Cutting it is a fairly easy task, but care should be taken not just so that you do not damage the fiberglass but also for your own safety.
Step 1 - Protect Yourself
Before you begin cutting the fiberglass you should protect yourself as much as you can. While you are cutting into the fiberglass tiny, but sometimes sharp, fragments of fiberglass can flick off and end up in your skin, eyes or mouth. Wear long pants, long-sleeve shirt, gloves, mask and goggles before you even begin your cut to make sure you are protected.
Step 2 - Clamp the Fiberglass
Use clamps to firmly secure the panel to something steady like a sawhorse. If you want use a ruler and a fine-tipped marker to draw a line where you will be cutting to ensure a straight line.
Step 3 - Make Your Cut
MAKE SURE that the saw blade that you are using on your circular saw is fine-bladed. If the blade is not sharp and narrow then the cut you will make will most likely be jagged and rough. If you end up with such a cut then there is not much else to do but make another cut with a finer blade.

How to distinguish whether office furniture is green?
Time: 2019-11-11
: People's health concept is higher and higher, so the green environmental protection of office furniture has become an important indicator. Is that office furniture really green? How to distinguish?
formaldehyde adhesive will generally emit a strong irritant smell. Inferior furniture can show its original shape with a slight smell of the nose. On the contrary, if it is "zero formaldehyde" furniture, especially cabinet furniture, open the cabinet door, there will be a light grass fragrance with the nose, which is also the most convenient way to distinguish whether formaldehyde exceeds the standard.
that is to say, by observing the appearance of furniture with naked eyes, we need to understand the manufacturing process of panel furniture. The panels used in panel furniture mainly include particleboard, density board, plywood and other man-made panels. The production of these man-made panels is usually to treat the wood into sawdust first, then add adhesive, and process the sawdust into boards by high-temperature extrusion and other ways. Therefore, this kind of furniture is easy to exceed the standard of formaldehyde, presenting irregular structure and texture of non wood origin in appearance.
listen with your ears. Many board furniture looks like wood. The quality of the material is indistinguishable. But the back board is made of three plywood, which is very thin in thickness. You may as well use your hands to listen to the sound. If the sound is crisp and obviously shaken, it is inferior board.
that is to observe the section and edge of the board, which is different from the particle structure of particleboard (particle board), or the fine and smooth section structure of density board (MDF), "zero formaldehyde" board will present a unique compact lamellar structure on the cross section. Therefore, when the furniture is placed and assembled, consumers are also easier to observe and identify through the cross-section of the hole and groove. The formaldehyde emission from the edge of wood-based panel is the most serious. According to the furniture standard, the edge of wood-based panel furniture must be sealed. If you feel that the furniture has an irritant smell, you should open all drawers and cupboards to let the free formaldehyde in the furniture be emitted as soon as possible.
The furniture factory shall provide the certificate of raw material inspection to see whether the materials purchased by the manufacturer are qualified, and check the source of furniture materials.
If you are still not sure, you should apply to the relevant quality inspection department for inspection.
Good office furniture is not only a problem of customized specifications, but also a real compliance with the national standard of green environmental protection. Green office furniture is more in line with the requirements of safety, health, comfort and efficiency, and strive to improve the ornamental value and cultural connotation of products.
New Chinese furniture keeping pace with the times

October 2017: The Research Advocate
The October 2017 Research Advocate is now online.
Highlights from this month's issue:
A former congressional leader who was instrumental in doubling the National Institutes of Health (NIH) budget, the head of a global research center aimed at reducing the burden of disease, two long-time mental health advocates dedicated to accelerating research, a rare disease organization committed to biotech innovation, and a world-renowned vaccine researcher are among those who will be honored at Research!America's 22nd annual Advocacy Awards on Wednesday, March 14, 2018, in Washington, D.C.
Research and education are key to addressing the complexities of the opioid epidemic. "On the research side, it goes everywhere from understanding pain better as a neurological phenomenon to finding some non-addictive strategies for addressing pain more effectively," said Lucinda Maine Ph.D., executive vice president and CEO, American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. "Across the board there's just a real lack of sufficient education for clinicians and patients and everybody else in the ecosystem at this point in time." Maine joined experts for moderated panel discussions at Research!America's National Health Research Forum on September 7 in Washington, D.C.
As the opioid epidemic continues to intensify, innovative research provides much needed hope to alleviate the suffering of the tens of thousands of Americans coping with this addiction. About 60% of Americans support increased funding for research to better understand and combat opioid addiction, according to a public opinion survey commissioned by Research!America. The webinar, "Innovating Research and the Opioid Epidemic: Are We Closer to Finding Solutions?," will be hosted by Research!America on Friday, October 13, 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET.
Medical and health research has enormous potential for addressing community health threats such as the opioid addiction and building a strong science and technology hub. Leaders from government, industry, academia, and scientific societies will discuss the role of public and private sector research in supporting the local economy and improving the health of citizens in West Virginia at a forum on Monday, October 16 on the campus of Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
A member spotlight featuring the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a private nonprofit organization authorized by Congress to fund research that helps people make informed healthcare decisions and improves healthcare delivery and outcomes.

Maybe someone can tell, if the questionnaire below is complete or still the current version?
"Video Art / Media Art Preservation: Studies and Suggestions
Once again: the Ethical Considerations
We have already referred to the pilot project by Montevideo. They asked the moral and copyright question: Can you at all take the liberty to "change" an art work, produced at an analogue form by transferring it to a more or less compressed digital carrier? By definition, digitisation of an analogue video work means changing both the carrier and the playback equipment of the video work.
The Guggenheim Variable Media Questionnaire
Through the "Variable Media Initiative" we have mentioned in some detail The Guggenheim Museum in New York tries to solve the problem with a questionnaire to the artists. The questionnaire – still only in a beta version (1) - distinguish or divide the variable media artworks in
1. artworks that can be installed
2. artworks that can be performed
3. artworks that can be interactive
4. artworks that can be reproduced
5. artworks that can be duplicated
6. artworks that can be encoded – and
7. artworks that can be networked
and ask the artist to answer different questions in a multiple choice questionnaire
If we take no. 4 as an example that refer to video art works the following issues are put forward and the artist has to answer them both according to "current state" and how they "can vary" and she/he has also the possibility to comments on the issues/answers:
- original audio format
- original photograph format
- original film format
- original video format
- original print format
- location of master
- status of master
- acceptable submasters
- fate of submasters
- permission to create submasters
- permission to compress/digitise
To d) you have the choice between: u-matic/betacam sp/vhs (Pal, NTSC or SECAM) or others which you have to specify.
To f) you have the choice between: archive with work's owner, archived in another location (specify), used for exhibition (explain) or not applicable.
To g) you have the choice between: still viable, remastered (specify format of new master), not applicable.
To h) you have the choice between: for exhibition, for research, for archive, for public distribution, not applicable.
To I) you have the choice between: require the borrower to destroy, require the borrower to return, distribute freely, other (explain, not applicable.
To j) you have the choice between: not required, required from the artist or estate, not given, not applicable.
To k) you have the choice between: for low-resolution distribution, for high-resolution distribution, a combination of above (explain), not applicable.
For each of the above 7 types of variable media types you have to go into detail about "In later re-creations, this artwork could be …
a. stored
b. emulated
c. migrated
d. reinterpreted"
We have already treated the meaning of these words but we repaet the explanations here
If we again take no 4. as applicable to video art works then you have to answer the following two options/questions concerning a):
Source: Should an obsolete source master, such as a video tape … be restores as necessary to make exhibition copies?
Access to previous versions: should previous versions of the work be stored so general public can view them?
To b) you have to answer to the questions:
Source: Should the experimental effect of an obsolete source master, such as a video tape …, be reproduced in an entirely new medium (e.g. digitising an analogue tape)?
Access to previous versions: Should the remastered source be "marked" with the effect of previous display technologies?
To c) you have to answer the questions:
Source: Should an obsolete source master, such as a video tape … be migrated to a new medium that has become industrial standard?
Access to previous versions: (There are no migration options for this problem).
To d) you have to answer the questions:
Source: Should an obsolete source master, such as a video tape …be re-recorded according to the artist's instructions?
Access to previous versions: (There are no reinterpretation options for this problem
… and to each of the options/questions to a, b c and d you have the choice between: preferred, acceptable, discouraged, inaccessible and not applicable.

If you are looking to earn extra money in merchant services, then a merchant cash advance referral program presents the perfect opportunity. A merchant cash advance referral program allows you to simultaneously help businesses get the funding they need and get a commission as the party that helped them to find their emergency funding. If you want to make money with a merchant cash advance referral program, then it is imperative that you learn more about how to make money with a merchant cash advance referral program, what a cash advance referral program is, and what the benefits are of referring customers and clients to our cash advance services. With this information at your disposal, you'll be able to start earning money by referring businesses to cash advance services and start building real, stable income.
What are Merchant Cash Advances?
The first step to making money with a merchant cash advance referral program is understanding what exactly you are dealing with when you refer people to a cash advance program. A merchant cash advance is the most basic concept of all of this. A merchant cash advance is a way for businesses to gain short-term funding for their day-to-day operations. Businesses typically require this assistance when cash flow is tight, business is bad, or an opportunity comes up that requires immediate funding, but they are not able to access it. A cash advance draws from the funds that would otherwise go to the merchant anyways, but pulls them in earlier. For this service, there is a fee.
A merchant cash advance referral program is a program that awards commissions and bonuses to agents and others that refer businesses to that cash advance program. This is a common way for many in the merchant services industry to make a living and generate high income.
How do you Earn Money with a Merchant Cash Advance Referral Program?
Making money with a merchant cash advance referral program is pretty simple. When you refer companies to the cash advance program, you make commissions off of those referrals. In some cases, you might even get residual income from recurring cash advance loans or other products bought through your referral. This can widely depend on which merchant services program you choose to represent.
Benefits of Merchant Cash Advances
There are many benefits to administering merchant cash advances, not only to the referrer who earns a commission and share of the profits, but also to the businesses that are awarded a merchant cash advance. Here are some of the benefits of merchant cash advances to the merchants that are able to gain them.
Fund Short-Term Operations
Businesses often use merchant cash services to fund short-term operations when they are in a pinch for cash flow. This can save a business from an unexpected hardship or any other unplanned expense that might come up that could otherwise put the business in a very tough situation. The most common reason that businesses seek a merchant cash advance infusion is to ensure that their business can last in the short-term until conditions improve.
Draw From Money Already Owed
Another benefit to a merchant services cash advance is that it is not necessarily opening up another line of credit for the business. Instead, businesses are simply getting the money that they are already owed or are going to be owed sooner. The money that is given in a merchant cash advance is taken back through deductions of future processing deposits. Pay off over an extended period of time One of the main dras to taking a merchant cash advance is that it gives the merchant the ability to pay off their cash infusion over a long period of time, rather than having to come up with all of the acsh right away. While there are some fees involved, this generally provides a lifeline that banks and other financial entities would not be able to offer. When a business takes a cash infusion, the amount is deducted in small parts over an extended period of time. This gives the business time to get back on their feet and plan for the future expenses as opposed to being crippled by a short-term demand for cash.
Sunday, May 31 2020
Are you looking for the perfect business opportunity that would allow you to work from anywhere in the world, have access to drastic increases in your compensation, and help businesses around the world achieve more with their payment processing solutions? If so, then starting a merchant cash advance business might be the right option for you. Many people are discouraged by the fact that starting a business often takes some startup capital and that is a frequent hurdle that stops dreams in their tracks. However, with the right merchant services partner, you can achieve your dreams of taking advantage of the perfect business opportunity and opening up your own merchant cash advance business. Here's how you can achieve your dreams, own your own business, and have the financial freedom that you have always wanted all for a relatively low investment!
Benefits of Being a Merchant Cash Advance Agent
You might have heard about how lucrative a career in merchant services can be, but what you might not know is that there are many different types of careers in merchant services. The most common type of agent in merchant services is selling processing services.

Being a merchant services agent or professional is all about providing merchants with exactly the right services that they need and finding them solutions that will make operating their business more efficient, easier to operate, and more profitable. While many think of processing and POS solutions when the topic of merchant services is brought up, the mission to help merchants operate in the best way possible goes beyond just card processing. One of the best ways that you can provide your merchants with superior service that meets their needs is by becoming a merchant cash advance broker.
What is a cash advance for merchants?
Regardless of whether you have worked in merchant services or not, you probably already know what kind of a transaction a cash advance is. A cash advance is an infusion of cash provided to a business or individual that is borrowed against an incoming payment or deposit. In addition, it can also be paid with funds not a part of an upcoming transaction.
For businesses that suddenly find themselves in a tight spot financially, a cash advance from the person that already offers them merchant services is a great option. This allows businesses to have access to a line of credit and fund any short-term needs that they might have to keep the business running well and efficiently.
The cash advance is not free money, however. The merchant must pay back the money either using incoming funds that they have from processing activities or by paying it off with other funds. All in all, the cash advance transaction is a very beneficial one for merchants that want to be able to be flexible when deciding how to allocate money and fund their operations through difficult times.
What is a merchant cash advance broker?
Now that you know what a cash advance is for merchants, you might be wondering what exactly your role in the situation might be. As a cash advance broker, you would have the responsibility in the transaction to identify businesses that might be in need of this cash infusion. This could be due to tough economic times, hard situations with cash flow, or any other number of factors that might affect the liquidity of merchants. These are the businesses that are most in need of a cash advance program.
Once you have identified these businesses, your goal is to find out exactly what they need, how much of it that they need, and how affordable you can deliver it to them. Your role is to be their partner in finding a cash advance solution to fit their needs and fund their operations.
In addition, you will work closely with them to understand their business and be a true partner to them in a time that might be difficult for their business. This business is just as much about helping business owners as it is finding ways to generate revenue from them. In this situation, both parties can benefit and it would be your job to make sure that happens by finding the most suitable cash advance provider for your merchant.
How do you earn money with a cash advance?
Another thing that you might be curious about if you are thinking of getting into the merchant cash advance broker business is how exactly you earn money being a merchant cash advance broker. Well, as we said earlier, the money that merchants are able to borrow with a cash advance is not free money. It must be paid back, and it must be paid back with interest added on top. This is how a cash advance provider makes money. As the cash advance broker that facilitated the deal, you will earn a portion of the interest that is earned from the loan as your commission.
In addition to the portion of commission that you will earn, many cash advance providers also have options that pay out their brokers on a per-deal basis, so that you are guaranteed a payout whenever you close a deal for cash advance services. With diverse and versatile ways to earn money as a merchant cash advance broker, you can be confident that you are enjoying one of the safest and most reliable ways to earn money in the merchant services economy. Those that want high earnings potential should be encouraged by this and enjoy the fact that they can earn money in a variety of ways.
Why should businesses use a cash advance broker?
If you are thinking of becoming a merchant cash advance broker but are hesitant because you are wondering why a business should use a broker for their cash advance needs, then let us put your mind at ease. Businesses need cash advance brokers because cash advance brokers provide them with more insight and advantages in the industry than they are usually able to get themselves. Yes, a broker might cost them more money up front, but it is paid back many times over through the term of the loan and the advantages that come from finding the right cash advance partner.
Cash advances are offered by almost everyone, which means that making a decision on a cash advance provider is very difficult at times. When businesses choose to use a cash advance broker, they will be instantly gaining a partner to work with that can guide them through the process and ensure that they don't get taken advantage of in the cash advance application or dispersing process. Working with a cash advance broker will enable businesses to get their cash affordably, quickly, and without having to allocate their own manpower to find it. There are dozens of benefits that businesses are able to enjoy when working with a cash advance broker and that is why cash advance brokers all over the world feel very secure in their job.

Latest data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders indicates that since the month of February, mortgage lending by banks and building societies saw its highest levels since the Recession, with mortgage lending making £17.6 billion. That's up to 30% from last year's £13.6 billion.
With no impending variations to interest rates, most homebuyers are ultimately confident over the last few months. The wage increases and reduction in unemployment rate have also assisted in providing a significant boost to the market; with improved numbers of people that are now financially capable to buy their own property and being assured enough to take that big step forward.
Without a doubt, the Council of Mortgage Lenders data presented that the amount of loans to first time homebuyers had improved by over 9 percent to 11,429 in the month of February, from only being 10,479 the previous year.
Last January, data showed even greater amounts of lending activity, with mortgage lending that would total for up to £18.5 billion; that's 5% more than in February.
The surge in the volume of lending that took place from the end of year 2015 up to February 2016 is also reinforced by the economical mortgage deals. The newest figures from the Mortgage Advice Bureau showed the amount of mortgage products that ascended to 17,132 in January 2016; that is an eight-year high.
Home buyers are making the most of enhanced economic status and higher salaries. This has meant an upsurge in the number of people that are willing to acquire a mortgage.

Studies for the below artwork
Thanks to Andre for sending these.
These 4 pictures are studies for the below painting by Pils.from the Musée Condé, Chantilly.

I really would like some plastic figures of those troops! Maybe from Armies In Plastic. Metal is great but you can't sweep metal into a storage bin after "playing."ReplyDelete
I'm amazed at the ease at which they wear their knapsacks. Photos of these men bear out the snappy look show in the paintings.
I've worn the Union Army brass shoulder scales in parades but not epaulettes. Nothing like this in a reenacted battle.
Hi ScottReplyDelete
I think the AIP US sharpshooters can easily be converted into chasseurs; I am thinking about it but I have not yet done it. Epaulettes can be made out of milliput, rifles shortened into carbines, the rest is just painting.
Thank you Andre. I was thinking of that but that's WORK!ReplyDelete
I like having large numbers of "maintenance free" one color troops. I have done a lot of conversions and painting with Toy Soldiers of San Diego figures but they have to "live" on shelves. I'm hoping AIP does some early WW I era French in kepis. Their Foreign Legion is too hard to covert because of the neck cloth.
There is a link to my blog...
and you'll see some of my figures. There's more there than Cantinieres and corsets.

Katogota is a village located in Uvira territory.This is a village that has suffered so much before of massacre during one of the Congos wars.The Rebels from our Neighbouring country stormed into the village and butchered almoste everyone. Many women and girls were raped even young children of under 10 years.Most of the houses were burnt down,belongings were taken away and those who managed to escape have lived in trauma and stress.Its been a very difficult history to erase from their minds.
To help console the village come back to normal life,MHCD started many activities for the sake of improving life starndards of the people in the community.We distributed pigs and created fish ponds for them as one of the microfinancing programs and we gave them some microfinances for the sake of carrying out small businesses for the women.They sell small things like dried fish,vegetables,charcoal,fruits,sweetpotatoes etc.Though this,it helps them in their day to day lives and they can take their children to school and have some food on their table.
The big challenge they faced was lack of a market building from where they could carry out their transactions.They used to sell just in the open by the roadside with no table to put their goods.It was very challenging in terms of hygiene.Also during the rainy season,they could not go and sell because of the weather,and during extreme sunshine too they couldn't get to go to the market.This caused a stall in their progress.
In bringing a solution to all this,MHCD had a meeting with the women leaders and they requested for a market building from where they could be selling their goods.From their times of selling the first batch of pigs and the fish together with those who had been carrying out small sells,they had contributed together part of their profits that they had been putting aside so they could build a market.Also Dr.Luc and Delice Mulimbalimba contributed some money and we are very happy to let you know that we managed to build a community market in Katogota village.The market os called The Market of Martyrs in remembrance of the fallen villagers.
When we launched the market,everyones eyes were filled with tears of joy because we never imagined that we could build a community market in Katogota village.The market has been a solace to them and as a mark of peace,unity and reconciliation.We are so grateful to all those who contributed towards the success of this project.Our sincere gratitudes goes to the Rotary clubs of Wagga Wagga who supported the pig project last year,Dr.Elaine and John Dietsch,Rev.Peter Frogley,Darren,MHCD Australia support Association members,BMI churches in Mittagong and Canberra and all those who when they visited Luvungi went to Katogota village to talk to the victims,encouraged and prayed for them and supported them.Your presence was a great consolation and they managed to work hard for the sake of their village.We are grateful too to all those who have through the years supported those who have suffered in war and we haven't written them down individually,may you know that you are soo dear to the people and we appreciate so much your efforts.

Harunosuke is one of Batto's minions.
Harunosuke is a minor character that only appears in the anime.
Ginga Densetsu Weed
He's a Great Dane that used to work under Batto, one of Hōgen's generals. But after Batto was defeated by Ken and Kagetora, he cowardly hides himself from the battlefield. Hōgen managed to find him when the Great Dane was being persued by Weed and Jerome. Harunosuke told his leader about Batto's defeat. Although Hōgen was a selfish leader and would have killed him for his cowardness, he saw his follower as a handy substitute and kindly let Harunosuke go. As Harunosuke was running away, Hōgen headed into the opposite direction and covered his own footprints with a tree branch, so then Weed would follow his substitutes' footprints and not his. Weed, who was still persuing the evil Great Dane, easily fell into Hōgen's ruse and followed Harunosuke's tracks. However, Jerome recognised the different scents between the cowardly dog's tracks and Hōgen's hidden footprints and went into the opposite direction, where Hōgen was heading. Farther away, when Harunosuke was drinking water from a dripping rock, Weed, by the dog's incredible ressemblence to Hōgen, thinks that he had found the cruel mutt and attacks him with his mastered Zetsu Tenrō Battōga. Harunosuke manages to dodge the attack and he explains briefly to the pup about Hōgen's plan. Weed suddenly found out that he was fooled and dashed into Hōgen's direction.
After this scene, Harunosuke was never seen again in the anime.

Intacct Corp, a San Jose online financial management software company that competes with Intuit's Quickbooks, said it has raised an additional $15 million of financing.
The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners. Existing investors Emergence Capital, Sigma Partners, and Sutter Hill Ventures participated.
This follows the $14 million Intacct raised last year to restart itself financially. It had already raised $45 million previously from Emergence, along with other investors Deloitte & Touche, Hummer Winblad, Goldman Sachs and JK&B Capital.
Mike Braun, the company's chief executive, took over last year, and apparently has helped turn the company around.
Here's the company's statement.
The company's strategy is to target small to mid-sized companies, as they begin to look for options other than Quickbooks, but don't want to pay for the high-priced software designed for larger companies.

Some may know her as the amazing Yfm Dj with the sexiest voice on radio. She's the most popular female DJ in Ekurhuleni (East Rand) and is one of the most popular thriving female Dj's who are gunning for the throne in South Africa. Zai Maya possess incredible talent, humility and drive for success, and there's no stopping her. We invited this sassy personality to come chill with us at our headquarters to talk about her journey and future plans.
Tell us about how Zai Maya emerged.
Basically, what I initially wanted to do was become a performing artist when I was growing up, due to certain issues I decided that it wasn't for me. After school I ventured into the corporate world, and in the year 2010 I decided that this wasn't for me. I then enrolled at SoulCandy and later graduated. 5 days later I had my first gig at Capital in Rosebank, and as they say the rest is history lol, she giggles.
What attributed to you becoming a house hold name and a successful radio Dj as Yfm? I think it was God first of all, I harassed that man with prayer.Secondly, one thing I'm proud of is that my work speaks for itself. No one can claim that I got there through special relation privileges or other relations, it is all hard work. Yfm was very impressed when I approached them about what I had to offer, I told them I'm a hip hop Dj and played a couple of sets and the rest just fell into place.
You actually studies Sound Engineering. What inspired the transition from sound engineer to radio presenter?
When I was 16, I got a very bad case of bronchitis and I was told I wouldn't be able to sing anymore, so I thought to myself "what's the next best thing I could do" and Sound Engineering was my choice which later lead me to this direction in life.
Tell us about your hustle, how has your journey been and how did you conquer the challenged that came with it?
When I came into the industry a lot of people that I thought were my Idols actually became my rivals. I thought they were going to appreciate my skill and put me on but I got the opposite reaction from a lot of the guys I looked up to. However, I later learned that it was just the competitive aspect of the industry. Also, because I'm a female, some would want something on the side and I wasn't about to drop panties for validation.My advantage was that I was a good Hip Hop Dj and not
a lot of female DJ's played Hip Hop at the time, some people were keen on giving me opportunities and open up platforms to showcase my skill.
What growth have you gained ever since joining YFM and what changes transpired in your personality?
You know… I grew up having everything I ever wanted to a point that I was very mean and arrogant, and did not care much about anything or anyone else. Although I could not relate to the struggle most people go through, I'm now more conscious of the fact that life is not the same for all of us which is why I now try and help whoever I can and wherever I can. Back then I was a bit of a spoiled brat and I had everything my way, but I'm now a much more matured and an even better person.
I have also gown in terms of the hustle aspect of things, I've learned which opportunities to take and which to avoid, as well as proper implementation. For someone who's starting right now and would one day want to be in your position.
What would you say to them?
You need to start from the bottom, I spent a couple of years at Kasie FM before making it to Yfm. Number two, polish your skill and listen to advice, and thirdly, be humble. Too many people come in to this industry and they believe their own hype. Arrogance with shut doors in your face and will hinder you from growth.
For more updates people can catch me on social media

Union beat FC Dallas with Bedoya goal in stoppage time
That was so not Union.
The Philadelphia Union just might be a good team, as they extend their winning streak to three games and their unbeaten streak to four. The boys in blue defeated FC Dallas 2-1 on a beautiful goal by Alejandro Bedoya in stoppage time.
Union starting XI: Blake; Wagner, Trusty, Elliott, Gaddis (Monteiro 78′); Medujanin, Aaronson, Bedoya, Fabian; Accam (Ilsinho 68′), Picault (Burke 56′)
FC Dallas starting XI: Maurer; Hollingshead, Ziegler, Hedges, Cannon; Cerrillo, Hayes; Roberts (Ondrasek 62′), Poymkal, Barrios (Nelson 74′); Ferreira (Servania 88′)
FC Dallas came in missing several starters. Jesse Gonzalez Pablo Aranguiz and Carlos Gruezo were all suspended for violating team policy. On top of that Santiago Mosquera was out ill and Bryan Acosta was out with an ankle sprain picked up during training. This forced FCD head coach Luchi Gonzalez to go with a very young lineup.
The Union on the other hand, went with the same lineup from the previous match when they beat FC Cincinnati. In head coach's Jim Curtin's mind, if ain't broke, don't fix it. Hard to argue with that.
The Union came out looking to dominate, and they controlled possession in the first 10 minutes. But a trip by Marco Fabian on Ryan Hollingshead set up a free kick just outside the penalty area. Reto Ziegler shot the ball over the Union wall straight into the net, with Andre Blake frozen in place.
10' – ZIEGLER WITH THE OPENING GOAL, giving FCD a 1-0 lead on the road!

— FC Dallas (@FCDallas) April 6, 2019
FC Dallas had the early lead, but the Union continued to look dangerous, at least as far as getting the ball into their final third. But the boys in blue struggled to generate chances from their possession, with FCD centerbacks Matt Hedges and Zeigler doing a good job staying tight on Fafa Picault and David Accam. The U could only manage two shots on goal, one on a weak header by Picualt and the other by Brenden Aaronson off a nice cross by Kai Wagner.
The Union was better at generating chances as the second half progressed. But they continued to struggle to crack the FC Dallas back line. In the 56th minute, Curtin tried to stoke the offense by replacing Picault's speed with Cory Burke's size. A solid move, but the Union still could not find the net. Curtin continued to tweak the offense as the half wore on, replacing Accam with Ilsinho in the 68th minute, and then replacing Raymon Gaddis with new Union player Jamiro Monteiro in the 78th minute. With Gaddis out, Haris Medujanin played farther back, and the offense did seem to pick up.
Finally, something went the Union's way in the 83rd minute. FC Dallas's GK Jimmy Maurer deflected a solid shot by Monteiro, but Matt Hedges pulled down Burke in front of the goal as he tried to reach the deflection. Marco Fabian took the ensuing penalty kick, but Maurer made the save. The ball bounced off Maurer and Burke was right there to tap it in and tie the game.

There were six minutes of stoppage time added thanks to a Maurer head cut that had to be wrapped earlier in the second half. Two minutes in, Ilsinho chipped the ball into the penalty area where Bedoya took it, ran past both Ziegler and Hollingshead, then cut back for a beautifully placed shot into the goal.

— Philadelphia Union (@PhilaUnion) April 7, 2019
As Curtin said after the match, "To come from behind is something we haven't done well in the past… it showed a step forward for the team."
Union fans aren't used to this, but they'll be happy to become accustomed to it.
Final thoughts:
- Haris Medujanin played a solid game, making crisp passes and getting back on defense when needed.
- From the little we've seen from him so far, Monteiro looks the real deal. Curtin has a good problem on his hands in trying to get him some minutes.
- The referee was terrible, making some ticky-tack calls, and missing big ones. MLS needs to do something about the quality of referees in this league.
The Union will to keep the winning and unbeaten streaks going when the travel to Los Angeles to take on the Galaxy next week.

Glossy, eyes like diamonds, skin like living alabaster, chiselled cheekbones and with a somewhat sophisticated demeanour, Angelina Jolie is considered to be bizarrely beautiful when compared with her fellow Hollywood contemporaries. Yet beneath the glitz and glamour, Ms Jolie represents the image of celebrity at its most humanising and aware. When she was in her mid 20s and on the set of her 2000 film Tomb Raider, Ms Jolie was filming in Cambodia, one of the poorer countries in Asia where one in eight children dies over the age of five and over 50% of its youth suffer malnutrition. It was here that she developed an understanding of the extreme poverty present in a war torn country, where both genocide and hunger are rampant.
All hail her majesty: Queen Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter, the ruler of music, fashion and basically life. We could talk forever about our love and admiration for this beautiful angel on earth. So we decided to take our devotion to the next level and dedicate the entire alphabet to everything about Beyoncé that inspires us.
In her later years, acting took a back seat to her work on behalf of children. She became a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF in the late 1980s. Traveling the world, Hepburn tried to raise awareness about children in need. She understood too well what it was like to go hungry from her days in The Netherlands during the German Occupation. Making more than 50 trips, Hepburn visited UNICEF projects in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. She won a special Academy Award for her humanitarian work in 1993, but she did not live long enough to receive it. Hepburn died on January 20, 1993, at her home in Tolochenaz, Switzerland after a battle with colon cancer.
Outside of acting, Thompson is a supporter of numerous environmental and social causes. She has served as an international ambassador for ActionAid and she joined Greenpeace in its action to stop the expansion of London's Heathrow Airport. Thompson is also active at her daughter's school, teaching drama to the students there.
According to Forbes magazine, Oprah was the richest African American of the 20th century and the world's only Black billionaire for three years running. Life magazine hailed her as the most influential woman of her generation. In 2005, Business Week named her the greatest Black philanthropist in American history. Oprah's Angel Network has raised more than $51,000,000 for charitable programs, including girls' education in South Africa and relief to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
Television host Ellen DeGeneres supports numerous organizations, and has won many awards for her charitable efforts. Recently, DeGeneres learned about an organization called The Gentle Barn, a home and hospital for animals that have been abused. On her website, DeGeneres urges her viewers to donate. With Ben Affleck, DeGeneres launched the"Small Change Campaign" to benefit Feeding America. Ellen supports the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund through the American Red Cross.
Amy Poehler makes people laugh for a living. Parks and Recreation, although it has its touching, heartfelt moments, fuels a lot of running gags and Poehlerisms, and usually causes more guffaws than tears. Similarly, Amy's tag-team efforts with Tina Fey in the upcoming Golden Globes are sure to be as hilarious as last year, making even the sober celebrities in attendance feel a little laugh-tipsy. But I want to talk about the side of Amy Poehler that too few people focus on: her Leslie Knope-sized enthusiasm for children's charities.
Her current venture takes her equally far afield. Just before Thanksgiving, she made one of her annual trips to Haiti, where Every Mother Counts supports a rural clinic and trains midwives. Last spring she led a team of 26 to visit the three maternal health-care facilities the organization supports in Tanzania, a country she first visited in 1991 while on a British Vogue shoot with fashion photographer Arthur Elgort. "Christy was always the best traveler," says Elgort now. "Her father was a pilot and her mother was a stewardess, so we used to laugh that she 'flies well.' We'd say, 'No wonder she loves it. It's in her genes.' "
Meryl Streep and her husband Donald Gummer move their philanthropy through the Silver Mountain Foundation for the Arts. The couple have given around $1 million annually of late and have interests in arts and culture, education, women, and more. Grantmaking focuses on the East Coast, and the couple lives in Connecticut, the site of recent funding. The foundation does not have much of a web presence.
The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) is committed to creating a safer and healthier life for impoverished, under-resourced children and communities of South Africa, with a particular focus on individuals suffering from HIV/AIDS. Born from a partnership between Academy Award winning actress and South Africa native, Charlize Theron, and the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), the project's mission is to create and support programs that not only address the immediate needs of the areas, but also promote self-sustainability, growth and responsibility.

No, this is NOT a cheap attempt to get you to buy my book, although I'd love it if you would. Actually, I do manage to raise my gaze from my navel every now and again to read the writing of others. That's how I came across this rare treat.
The Scottish Buddhist Cookbook is by Jay Craig, a new coworker of mine. It's quirky and irreverent and hilarious on the order of David Sedaris. You get an insight into Jay's world. He's bipolar, and clearly many of his life choices have been made during the manic times, but he's all the more charming for it. His coping skills, when he chooses to employ them, are really amazing. He has a very eclectic group of friends, and he is accepting of all their eccentricities because he knows he has his fair share.
What I love most about this book, aside from the frequent laughs, is that I learned so much from it. After reading it, I could build my own bagpipe from plumbing supplies if the spirit moved me. I also learned about the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, the ultimate way to give an ex-wife closure, kilts, Huggy Jesus dolls, how NOT to break out of a mental health facility, hoarders, and, obviously, Scottish Buddhism.
Best of all, interspersed with the fascinating anecdotes is the quintessential single male's recipe book. Easy things, mostly for crock pots, that are guaranteed to harden your arteries in no time flat. I can't wait to try the meatloaf, the pot roast, the lasagna, and the carnitas. However, the double deep fried Scottish eggs might be slightly beyond my skill set.
Fair warning: the language can be a bit foul at times, and if you are the least bit religiously sensitive, you might want to give this book a pass. It's not for the easily offended. Personally, I found it equal parts funny and thought provoking. I'm not sure I'd want to live full time in Jay's world, but it's an awfully fun place to visit!

Nittany Lions getting faster in secondary
By Philip Cmor
Penn State's defensive backfield recruiting for the class of 2019 has the feel of a sprint now — the Nittany Lions have more good players in the mix than they have scholarships.
With safety JaQuan Brisker on board after a surprise commitment late Thursday and his friend, Tyler Rudolph, set to announce a decision today, Connecticut four-star cornerback Marquis Wilson made sure there was a spot at the inn for him when he went public with a pledge to the Lions early Sunday evening.
"I've decided to create a new chapter at Happy Valley," Wilson wrote in a post on Twitter. "I'm 100% committed and would like to close down my entire recruitment."
Wilson joins Brisker and State College corner Keaton Ellis as DBs in the now-six-player class. If Rudolph announces for the Lions over Clemson, that probably leaves one spot for either Virginia's Cam'ron Kelly or Texas' Lewis Cine, although a couple of other players in the secondary also have Penn State scholarship offers.
The 6-foot, 175-pound Wilson is a consensus top-300 player in this year's class and considered one of the top 25 corners for 2019. Syracuse, the first school to offer a scholarship, probably was the runner-up for Wilson, but he since had gotten offers from Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Florida, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin, among others.
Penn State was considered the favorite for Wilson for months, and there even was speculation he might commit on Blue-White Game weekend. However, when he did not pledge, it began to appear more and more that he might get caught in a numbers game.
"Everything just felt right from the first time I went there last summer," Wilson told Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.
According to 247Sports, Wilson made an unofficial visit to University Park this weekend.
Wilson made six interceptions last fall for Avon Old Farms.
In addition to Rudolph, the Nittany Lions will be looking to secure a commitment from one of their top targets in the 2019 class today, as Virginia five-star linebacker Brandon Smith announces his choice. Like Rudolph, Smith is expected to pick the Lions.
Penn State is anticipated to bring in around 20 recruits in this class.

The Mississippi Delta is known as the "Birthplace of the Blues". Experience the ultimate blues trip. More famous blues musicians came from this area than any other region or state combined. You will be provided a private car & driver departing from your hotel in Memphis on a 12 hour day tour. Depart Memphis and drive down legendary Highway 61. First stop is in Clarksdale where you will tour the Delta Blues Museum and stop at the Crossroads (Hwy 61 & Hwy 49) where Robert Johnson is said to have sold his soul to the devil. Next tour the new Grammy Museum Mississippi in Cleveland. Next stop at Delta State University and see the 60 life masks of famous blues musicians. Next stop at Dockery Farms, where BB King stated "you might say it all started right here". Finally, tour the BB King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center.
7:30 am leave Memphis and drive down legendary Highway 61. Out of these fields came the original blues singers who performed in local honky tonks and juke joints. Highway 61 takes you through the heart of the Mississippi River Delta, which is the world's richest farmland. Our first stop will be in Clarksdale. From the 30's on through the 50's Clarksdale was a major blues town. John Lee Hooker, Ike Turner, Little Junior Parker and Sam Cooke were born here.
9:00 am – 10:30 am you will get the opportunity of touring the Delta Blues Museum, which is dedicated to creating a welcoming place where visitors find meaning, value, and perspective by exploring the history and heritage of the unique American musical art form of the blues. The intersection of Hwy 61 & Hwy 49 is a famous location for blues music fans. This is where the most famous bluesman of all time, Robert Johnson, is said to have sold his soul to the devil.
11:15 am – 12:10 pm lunch (on own)
12:15 pm – 1:45 pm tour the new Grammy Museum Mississippi is dedicated to exploring the past, present and future of music, and the cultural context from which it emerges, while casting a focused spotlight on the deep musical roots of Mississippi.

How big of a douchebag is David Brooks?
How big of a douchebag is David Brooks?
He's such a big douchebag that he tries to criticize Barack Obama as not being an oh-so-regular guy (just like the tortoise shell spectacled and pink necktied drip Brooks is, of course) by saying:
[H]e doesn't seem like a guy who can go into an Applebee's salad bar and people think he fits in naturally there.
Only problem? David Brooks has apparently never stepped out of the limo and actually gone into an Applebees. Because they don't have salad bars.
Excuse me, you're out of Low Fat Ranch. Oh, I'm sorry,
I thought you worked here, Mr. Regular Fellow!
Oh, that Barack Obama! Why, he probably doesn't even know proper etiquette between chukkers at one of those "NASCAR" motoring exhibitions! (That's what the little people like these days, isn't it, Lovie?)

I'd never buy a suit from these douchebags who post commercials on political blogs.

Detailed electron-microprobe investigations and crystal-structure determinations established that 'sartorite' represents a group of distinct mineral species, each with unique chemistry and crystal structure. These manifest themselves as the 7-, 9- and 11-fold P21/c superstructures of the basic 4.2 Å substructure. Heptasartorite is Tl7Pb22As55S108 [based on 192 atoms per formula unit (apfu), 84Me + 108S] with a = 29.269(2), b = 7.8768(5), c = 20.128(2) Å, β = 102.065(2)° and unit-cell volume V = 4537.8 Å3; enneasartorite is Tl6Pb32As70S140 (based on 248 apfu, 108Me + 140S) with a = 37.612(6), b = 7.8777(12), c = 20.071(3) Å, β = 101.930(2)° and V = 5818.6(15) Å3; hendekasartorite is Tl2Pb48As82S172 (based on 304 apfu, 132Me + 172S) (empirical ΣMe = 132.48) with a = 31.806(5), b = 7.889(12), c = 28.556(4) Å and β = 99.034(2)° with V = 7076.4(15) Å3. Physical and optical properties (grey with metallic lustre, in polished section white with visible bireflectance, red internal reflections; reflectance curves span 28.7–42.5%; Mohs hardness 3–3½) of these phases are very similar so that chemical analysis and/or single-crystal X-ray diffraction is needed to distinguish them. A brief description of complicated AsmSn crank-shaft chains in the walls of double-ribbons which form the As-based slabs of these structures is given. The three new mineral species differ in their structures by 4.2 Å modular increments, not just by cation substitutions. They represent anion-omission derivatives of the 'ideal' PbAs2S4 composition with an important role for thallium in charge compensation. The described minerals belong to the late sulfide phases in the Pb–Tl–Ag–As deposit of Lengenbach, Wallis, Switzerland.

Need for Earth Day, Sustainability Persists in Pandemic
 Apr 22, 2020
Business Closures, Recycling Delays Among Current Challenges

With the coronavirus crisis in full swing, the topic of sustainability may be a bit (or, let's admit, a lot) less top of mind for organizations. That said, it is Earth Day, and the need to preserve our planet doesn't just disappear with a health disaster.
Prior to the COVID-19 situation, companies were most preoccupied with recycling materials like paper and cartridges—especially in Western Europe, where regulations like the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive mandate the recycling of materials.

Shyam Saran insists reliance on renewable sources of energy
New Delhi, Mar 16 (ANI): The Prime Minister's Special Envoy on Climate Change, Shyam Saran, on Monday underlined the need to make the strategic shift from reliance on fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy.
Saran added that the shift needs to be made now and should not be delayed any further.
"We need to ensure that energy does not become a constraint on our growth. We demand that we make that strategic shift from reliance on fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy and that shift has to start now," said Saran.
Saran had earlier said negotiations at a key Copenhagen climate summit in December would not yield any result if Western nations linked any cut in their emissions to targets accepted by developing countries.
Developing countries want rich nations to set robust targets by 2020 from 1990 levels as a sign of their commitment to fighting global warming.
Saran had repeated India's stance that it was not in a position to commit to an emissions target.
About 190 countries are trying to craft a broader climate treaty by December to replace the Kyoto Protocol that only binds wealthy nations to emissions targets between 2008 and 2012.
Rich and poor countries remain divided over funds for clean energy investment and technology transfer, as well as new targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions blamed for causing droughts, floods and disease.
Developing nations such as India and China are exempt from adopting emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol because they need to burn fossil fuels to lift massive chunks of their population out of poverty. (ANI)
