Amazon and Flipkart have announced limited-period sales schemes in the coming weeks.
As competition in the Indian e-commerce market gains steam, e-tailers are lining up discounts and lucrative deals for customers in limited-period sales schemes. Locking horns once again, e-commerce giants Flipkart and Amazon have announced special sales in the coming weeks, offering special prices for purchase of various products including mobiles, appliances, clothing and accessories. E-commerce giant Amazon's aggressive expansion in India is expected to lead to added competition and a further rise in online shopping in the country, some analysts say.
Amazon is offering "big savings" on a variety of brands – Adidas, Puma, Levi's and Sanyo, among others – in its "Great Indian Sales" scheme. The Amazon India sales offer will open from May 11 to May 14, according to its website. "Create your wishlist now…top brands on sale from 11th – 14th May," said the e-commerce company. "Gear up for the biggest sale! 11th May will be all about big deals on big brands!" Amazon said on Twitter.
Amazon's Great Indian Sale, offering up to 60 per cent discounts, covers a multitude of products from global brands including Samsung, Motorola, Philips, LG, Adidas, Puma, Levi's as well as Indian brands such as Fastrack, Prestige, Voltas, Bajaj and Bombay Dyeing.
Flipkart is offering discounts on fashion products, TVs and other appliances, furniture, electronics, mobiles, among other items, in its "Big 10 sale", according to its website. Flipkart's Big 10 Sale will open from May 14 to May 18. "Flipkart's Big 10 Sale is not just a celebration of completing 10 years in the e-commerce space and being able to bring to you the best products online, but it is also a moment for thanking everyone for the trust conferred in us," it added.
If you guess what's coming your way from Flipkart soon, you can win an eGV worth Rs. 1000! Hint: #NotJustBigItsMuchBiggerpic.twitter.com/UjoASEBDfH
Last month, Flipkart announced pledged investments worth $1.4 billion from companies including Microsoft, eBay and Tencent.
Seattle-based Amazon earlier this year made India a global strategic priority, earmarking $5 billion in investment funds.
Flipkart and Amazon are also offering additional cashback on purchases via select credit/debt cards.
Flipkart will also offer a 10 per cent discount on use of HDFC Bank credit cards for purchasing items under the Big 10 Sale. Flipkart is also offering a 30 per cent cashback on payments made through digital payments app Phone Pe, its website added.
An additional 15 per cent cashback is being offered on purchases made on the Amazon app using Citi credit and debit cards, and 10 per cent in case of website, the Amazon app said.
The e-commerce market is expected to be at $50-55 billion by 2021 from the current $6-8 billion, according to a report by Retailers Association of India and Boston Consulting Group earlier this year. In the past three years, digital buying has increased from 3 per cent in 2013 to 23 per cent in 2016, it added.

Image is biggest challenge now
PUBLIC perception of farmers and farming is the biggest challenge facing the industry, NFU Scotland president Jim Walker was due to tell delegates at the unions annual conference yesterday (Thur).
Producers must be under no illusion about the importance of the publics views. "Public perception will influence the support through taxes that the public are prepared to give," Mr Walker said.
"It matters because they are the customers for our food and for the environmental benefits we bring. And they are the voters, so the politicians listen to them." *

The Kia Ceed has tidy handling, a well-built interior and a long warranty. Even so, rivals are better in many key areas …
Like one other previous reviewer the car I have driven was a 1.8 automatic (this time a US hire car). I drove the Corolla for about 100 miles around the San Francisco bay area, and generally found the car to be a good drive. The 1.8 feels quick enough for most situations, and the automatic gearbox seems to be reasonably smooth. The biggest problem with this car is the driver's seat - it's simply not comfortable, and in fact gave me back ache for several days afterwards. If it wasn't for that I'd rate the driving experience as a 4 - much better than the Auris which replaced it. The Corolla was extremely economical by US standards, though I suspect over here it would simply be on a par with most other 1.6/1.8 petrol autos. In other words, ok for the type of car, but not up to the best in class. Toyotas are generally reliable so I would guess repair costs should be few and far between. The interior seemed a little cramped in the back, and the boot could certainly have been bigger. The general dashboard and switchgear was dull but functional. So again, pretty decent, but could be better. With a more comfortable seat this would be better than all but a Focus of similar age - a decent buy if you can live with the seats.
Fredrik Rich, West Yorkshire, September 25th 2007
It has been almost two years since I bought my new Corolla XLi 1.8 petrol model (not listed in What Car?). I have driven this car 50,000km and it still feels like the same new car. I am very happy that I made the right choice with buying the Corolla and I recommend everyone to buy it. One thing that bothers me is the continuous loss of front and back side screws that hold the side and mud guards to the main body - it is not a serious problem but it is anoying. It's a great car - it keeps impressing me with its power and smooth driving. Go and by it today, I would again and again.
I. Elia, March 2nd 2007
I have owned and driven a 2.0 Corolla D4D since January 2004. The car is quiet, economical, pulls well and brakes well too. All in all it is not at all a bad car. However quite frankly, I expected 100% quality from Toyota and I feel I did not get that. Apparently the saloon was assembled in Turkey and it seems that Toyota do not impose their renowned level of quality control on the cars they build there. For example, the front ashtray showed signs of rust after a few weeks, as it had not been sprayed, but just left as bare metal. Admittedly not the end of the world, but it does set one to thinking that if something that visible was overlooked, could not something really important and unseen have equally been overlooked ? I also had a stain on the windscreen which the dealer somehow "removed", but which still gives me visibility problems on cold misty days. A gap also appeared just between the stereo and the dashboard top. I was informed that Toyota know about this problem and have solved it by re-designing the dash in their 2004 model, but this does not help much in my situation ! I could live with all that, but my main problem is not the car but the attitude shown by the local dealership, which has no concept whatsoever of customer service. Unfortunately there is only one dealer here and they can therefore get away with anything. Clearly a test drive is not enough when making such a hefty investment...

I own a Middle Eastern type Corolla (I live in Lebanon). It was built in Japan in January 2005. It is called the XLI Model - it is the top trim level version unlike the GLI, the only difference between the two being the alloy wheels and the additional airbag. They all come with automatic transmision, as no manual transmision option is available this year in the Middle East. The engine is bigger than the European type, with a 1.8-litre petrol VVTI engine. It is a strong and smooth-running car, even while the air conditioning is running and driving up a steep hill. The 2005 Corolla is a nice, roomy car and I recommend it to all savvy buyers who know where to put their money.
I. Elia, January 29th 2006
I own the Singapore version of this car. It's a 1.6LX made in Japan. The same as the UK version but without a heater only air-con cooling (for the tropical climate). My car was built in June 2001 and delivered to me on 3rd August 2001. I leased it for 2 years and then purchased it at a discount from the leasing company. It's now covered over 38,000 trouble-free miles (62,000 kilometres). It is comfortable and roomy, easy and fun to drive. The engine is powerful and smooth enough to deliver adequate performance whilst returning exclllent economy. It usually manages between 38mpg and 42mpg in mostly city driving. The handling and grip are good. The only negative point I can think of is the relatively short gearing. It feels like it could handle a much higher top gear. Overall, I'm very pleased with the car and plan to keep it for another 2 years. There's no reason to change it before then. It runs beautifully.

Practical and well priced, but flawed in a number of other areas …
The Peugeot 308 has some frugal engines, but it falls way short of its best rivals to drive and rear space is tight …

First Time Property Owner? The Best Methods for Buying an Apartment If you are interested in entering the real estate market at an affordable rate, buying an apartment is a great way to gain access. We realize you may have already concluded that you are going to buy an apartment, and you are not budging, but it is still best to gain as much knowledge as you possibly can, so that you do not enter the market from a blind perspective. Prior to making one of the greatest investment decisions of your life, we have compiled a list of valuable advice that you should follow, as you want to ensure you are making the best financial decision possible. The first, and one of the most critical factors you must consider, is the access to amenities. To ensure you have maximized your apartment investment, you want to ensure you have put money into a space that is close to everything you visit on a daily to weekly basis. Putting your apartment in the heart of the amenities you attend to frequently, is a great way to maximize or optimize your life experience, that is why it comes highly recommended. Here are a list of amenities you should search for: church, gym, school, recreational areas, entertainment, clubs, coffee shops, hospitals, shopping centers, and so forth.
22 Lessons Learned: Houses
5 Lessons Learned: Houses
Remember, as you pick the location, near all the best amenities you frequent on a daily to weekly basis, that the area should also be peaceful where your apartment is centered. Determine how you intend to use your apartment property once you purchase it. Assessing your cash flow situation will help you better understand how you intend to profit off your apartment. First, you must figure out if you plan to rent it out to tenants or if you plan to live in it full time. Choosing to rent it out means you will have to consider many other factors in order to generate profit, like how much your down payment should be, and what the strength of the rental market is at this current time. If you are having difficulty determining that a certain apartment for sale is the best possible purchase for you, we highly advise that you talk it over with an expert. You will also want to consider car parking, overall appreciation, previous and expected, along with the age of the building. Finding the perfect apartment for sale is no walk in the park, but with the right research and consultation, you can find the right property for you.

Let Josh Hutcherson Seduce You In This Video Of Him Portraying A Sensitive Guy
Fine Josh Hutcherson, I'll date you! You win! Just promise me that you'll let me call you Peeta Mellark when we're alone together. And that you'll bake fresh bread every day. Mostly because I truly struggle to differentiate between real human beings and the characters they play in movies.
God help me if I ever meet Air Bud. I'll be all like "Air Bud let's go play a round of golf." Then Air Bud would be all like "That's a movie. I don't play golf or basketball or soccer or football or cricket. Also my name's Chad." Then I would cry because whoops, there goes my entire childhood in a hand basket.
And speaking of hand baskets, Josh Hutcherson sat down with MTV's Josh Horowitz to go over some sensitive guy stuff. You know, a little 101 for guys who may not be quite as sensitive as our Josh. (Josh-y? Too much? Did that make you yak a little? I'm sorry.)
While the video's clearly supposed to be funny, I don't think it's that far off from the real Josh Hutcherson. He truly comes off as a great guy who uses his powers for good. Take his work with Straight, But Not Narrow as an example of that. He's clearly a stand-up guy and we'd gladly let him make us pie any day of the week.
So with no further ado, the best video you'll watch today.

Hi Guys!
So as you all can probably feel, the nights and mornings are getting colder and before we find ourselves in the midst of winter, I've been getting a head start on stocking up my winter product essentials. Over the past year I have really fallen in love with these scents and oils and been so drawn to the benefits they possess. I've never really been one to find the importance of switching up beauty and skin care regimes for different seasons but the older I get, I'm really starting to believe and get more into it. So here are my winter must haves.
This is one of my favorite colors ( the other being rose gold, duh) and becoming more aware of the healing effects of lavender has really made me fall in love with it more. I think we're all aware of how lavender is a natural antidepressant and aids in sleep but did you know that it could also help with bloating? dropping a few drops of it in your yogurt could help with easing it because of the 'polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) in lavender can help reduce the 'bad' bacteria in your gut,'says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, author of Doctor's Detox Diet and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. What I've been doing with it lately is adding a few drops of it in my body moisturizer, I do it to help me sleep better at night as well as just maintain a certain level of calm throughout the day, especially the busy ones.
For summer I had a rose scent and this winter , I'm switching it to Vanilla. I love how warm and comforting the scent is, it's not overpowering and I love how it sits on me throughout the day. I got a body spray to touch up throughout the day whenever need be as well as a vanilla infused perfume which I'm absolutely loving. Vanilla is also a good antioxidant , anti inflammatory and can help lower cholesterol , so if smelling like it isn't for you, you can always include it in your meals.
I was very skeptical about this one at first but I'm now it's biggest fan. If there's one thing you should know about me , is that I love herbal teas and trying all kinds of ones. In the past I've had Chamomile tea but not with a conscious of focusing on what its intended to do. I often struggle to sleep at night and this year I'm trying not to resort to medication for every problem I face, so going herbal is the first option. To my surprise the Chamomile has worked, and worked really well, so much so that when I'm feeling anxious during the day I can do with a nice cup of chamomile. Because of it's strong contents of antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, other benefits you could use chamomile for include; nausea, Irritable Bowl Syndrome ( IBS) , dark circles and helping to fight acne.
Rich in vitamin E, calcium, magnesium and potassium. A great source of protein and fiber, Almonds are fast becoming my favorite nuts. Apart from the great nutrient benefits, Almond oil is also amazing for evening out skin tone and the rich thick texture provides a lovely layer of moister that is needed in winter when your skin could do with the extra nourishing. I bought a bottle of sweet almond oil from clicks which I apply all over my body and face after I have applied my normal moisturizers.
(Tip : After taking a nice shower or bath at night make sure when you apply the oil to wait for a few min before you hop into bed to avoid staining your bedding which is never fun to wash out. )
What are your guys winter product must haves? would love to know. comment and share below

The plumbing experts atAurora's SG Rooter make use of trenchless excavation technology that eliminates the hassles previously caused by digging.
Trenchless excavation, also called "no dig," eliminates surface excavation. Trenchless excavation minimizes environmental damage, reduces the costs of drain and sewer line work and minimizes the time it takes to inspect, repair, replace or install underground piping. With trenchless excavation, drain linesand sewer pipes (and all sorts of other underground utility appliance) are taken care of through two holes in the ground, an entry hole and an exit hole. Consequently, you only have to pay for the actual piping work instead of all the re-landscaping fees that digging usually causes.

Our plumbers are fully certified, experienced, highly-knowledgeable trenchless excavation professionals who will see that your trenchless excavation and trenchless piping project is carried out flawlessly.

In a case that attracted national attention in 2012, an Appalachian State University student and another woman alleged they were assaulted in Boone because of their perceived sexual orientation.
The victims did not know their attacker.
A change.org petition outlined what they alleged happened at a Cook Out restaurant shortly after midnight on Feb. 11, 2012. Neither Sarah Nordstrom nor Erin Johnston, then a junior at ASU, could be reached for comment for this story.
They said two women and a man verbally harassed them then followed them home. There, the man repeatedly punched Nordstrom in the face. Johnson turned away to call police, they said, and the man attacked her from behind, knocking her to the ground, kicking and stomping her face and body.
Nordstrom suffered a broken eye socket, a broken nasal cavity and broken cheekbone, according to the online petition. Johnston suffered two fractured ribs, a torn meniscus on the left side of her jaw and torn cartilage in her nose.
Ketoine Jamahl Mitchell was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault while inflicting serious injury, aggravated assault on a female and larceny. Brooklyn Lacrossa Canter was charged with misdemeanor aiding and abetting. No federal charges were filed.
Sgt. Matt Sevens of the Boone Police Department said police considered the possibility that the assaults were hate crimes and concluded they weren't. He said the FBI also investigated.
"It started out more as an argument that escalated into a fight," Stevens said. He said his investigation showed that Nordstrom or Johnston first called out to Canter, "Hey Cutie" and she responded, "I ain't into that."
"It became a war of words," Stevens said.
Mitchell was sentenced to 180 days in prison. The charge against Canter was dismissed.

The History of Crossword Puzzles
The crossword puzzles date back to 1933 when it appeared for the first time in the New York World Newspaper. The new game received a wide popularity among readers and soon it has become published in many newspapers all over the world. Despite the fact that modern industry of newspaper experiences rough times because it was pushed away by digital technologies, crossword puzzles didn't become less popular. The game managed to adapt to new conditions and now it has already captured the digital environment. You can find lots of crosswords online, buy it or play for free. Crossword puzzles have become even more interesting today, though the game has significantly changed since its first publication.
How to Play Modern Crossword Puzzles
Many years have passed and today the new rules form the shape of American-style crossword.
- The numeration of boxes is from left to right, from top to bottom.
- Usually the minimal word length is three letters, but sometimes there can be exceptions.
- The odd number of boxes should be always square (15×15 or 23×23).
- Each letter can be used in several words.
- There are no enclosed areas.
How They Create Crossword Puzzles
People who create crosswords are called constructors. In the beginning they used to create crosswords by hands, today they have a lot of different computer software at hand. The constructors try to make each crossword unique, but if you are an experienced player you may notice that some answers repeat in different puzzles.
When a constructor starts working on a new crossword puzzle, there is an algorithm that is necessary to obey. First, the constructor places theme answers, but it is necessary to follow the rules and if some answers don't fit the concept, the constructor blacks them out. Sometimes it takes much time to do it, but when the constructor is satisfied with the received result, he moves forward and uses fill words to complete the puzzle. When the constructor finishes the puzzle, he must solve it to understand whether it is not too complex for a player to find the required answers. A crossword should be solvable, if it is too difficult, a player will lose interest in it, but it also shouldn't be too simple because a player wants to test his/her knowledge. Hence, the goal of a constructor is to find the golden middle and provide a crossword which will require racking the brains to find the right answer, but will not make the player spend hours on each answer.
Variety of Crossword Puzzles
There is a wide majority of crossword puzzles. For example, a cryptic crossword is the most popular type of crosswords in the UK. It can be found almost in any daily newspaper. It is somewhat similar to the more conventional American crossword puzzles, except for one distinctive feature. As can be deduced from its name, the answer is encrypted in the clue, and what it says can actually have nothing to do with the answer. The crossword generator may seem useless with these crosswords, but if you know the first letter, it can still help you find Y words or lists with words that start with R.
Unlike its simpler variations, once you figure out the answer in a cryptic crossword, you will be certain that it is the correct one and not one of the many words starting with Y, because the clues are "self-checking".

Fire Season by Philip Connors Book Review
I just finished reading Fire Season: Field Notes From a Wilderness Lookout. I've had this book for a couple seasons (a friend gave it to me for my birthday) and I finally got around to reading it.
I don't know why I waited so long, because the book was awesome. Phillip Connors does an excellent job at sharing bits of history in an interesting way while exploring the beauties of the seasonal solitary life of being a wilderness lookout.
One of the advance praise quotes on the back says, "I don't know what to call this soulful book. Memoir? Essay? History? And I don't know how it manages to turn months of solitude into such a gripping quest with vivid characters, including one of the Four Elements. What I do know is that Fire Season both evokes and honors the great hermit celebrants of nature, from Dillard to Kerouac to Thoreau--and I loved it." ---J.R. Moehringer
I have to agree with J.R. on this one. The book was very well done. I love non-fiction sort of self-exploration types of books. This book keeps an excellent pace and spends just the right amount of time on history and background of the setting and on Connors's personal adventures and reflections.
The only qualm I have with this book is the title...and that's only because I'm jealous that Connors took the title Fire Season before I could get to it and then used it for a wilderness lookout book that had not so much to do with wildfire as it did with hermitage. I had hoped there would be some big fire as the climax of the book, and was disappointed not to find it. Regardless, the book was well done, and it intrigued me enough to pique my interest in becoming a wilderness lookout one of these seasons.
If you like good writing and have any interest in the wilderness then I recommend this book.
Are there any awesome fire books that you think I should read?
Fire Away!

Special Needs Trusts/Estate Planning
Birth Injury Lawyers Explain Options
If your child was born with a severe birth injury, he or she will likely need extra care for the rest of his or her life. And if your child outlives you, you want to make sure that your child's needs and well-being are taken care of for life.
That's why many families choose to create a Special Needs Trust (SNT) for their child. Our experienced Atlanta attorneys at the Tyrone Law Firm, PC have extensive experience creating special needs trust throughout Georgia.
When you contact us, we can explain how these trusts work and other legal options for families with children with a birth injury. Simply schedule a free consultation at our Atlanta office today to learn more about this innovative way to insure your child's well-being for years to come.
Creating a Special Needs Trust serves several important purposes for families hoping to create a way to financially provide for a child with a birth injury for many years to come. The benefits include:
- Create a structured way to pay for expenses for your child for life. Expenses include:
- Personal care attendants
- Other medical expenses
- Educational expenses
- Physical rehabilitation
- Home furnishings
- Vacations
- Designate trustee to oversee trust.
- Set aside money to cover expenses not covered by government benefits.
- Schedule automatic payments from trust for certain expenses.
- Verify expenses for determining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
These are just some of the benefits for families who choose to create a Special Needs Trust for their son or daughter. We can explain all of the benefits that apply to your child in person when you meet with us.
Why Choose Us
Experience matters when it comes to estate planning and Special Needs Trusts. If mistakes are made when creating such documents, your family or your child could be faced with serious legal problems involving the Internal Revenue Service or other government agencies.
That's why families in Atlanta and across the state trust us to create their Special Needs Trust. We thoroughly understand how the legal system works in Georgia. We know what state and federal laws apply to Special Needs Trusts and how to create such legally binding documents.
Your family has too much at stake. Make sure your child's needs are taken care of now and in the future. Get the peace of mind your family deserves. Contact our law firm and schedule a free consultation to discuss your family's unique legal needs.
"We have a son with a birth injury and reached out to the Tyrone Law Firm for representation. We have had nothing but the most productive and informative meetings/talks/phone conversations with them from the start. We truly feel that they are fighting for us...for OUR SON...and they are doing this because they believe in justice for OUR SON."

AN unsisterly confession to start: I am not a fan of Woman's Hour. I have tried, but there is just something about its worthy mix of domesticity, softly-softly politics, medical matters and forced chumminess that feels like the listening equivalent of eating a jumper (organic wool, naturally).
One item did catch my attention this week, however. The BBC Radio 4 programme was going to name the best place for a woman to live in Britain. Would it be a wealthy London borough, a rural spot in Wales, or one of those places in Scotland where the beaches are the stuff of paradise?
It was none of the above. Heaven on Earth turned out to be right outside my window in East Dunbartonshire. A study by the National Centre for Social Research looked at income, education, culture, life expectancy, housing, safety, happiness, and environment.
From the swirl of statistics, East Dunbartonshire emerged top, followed by East Renfrewshire and West Oxfordshire. At the bottom of the pile was the London borough of Islington, then Blackpool and Corby. Woman's Hour was so tickled by the findings it despatched a team to broadcast yesterday's programme from the Fort Theatre in Bishopbriggs. The effort was appreciated, even if the host did begin by saying East Dunbartonshire was seven minutes from the centre of Glasgow. Unless the residents have taken to using jetpacks, consider that seven miles.
As many a reader of The Herald would confirm, East Dunbartonshire is a great place to live for all the reasons one would expect. The schools are good, ditto the healthcare, there are plenty of green spaces, it is close to Glasgow and crime rates are low. The council should give the place a new motto: "East Dunbartonshire: home of the waggy tail (and that's not just our gazillion dogs)."
With such a glowing portrait of East Dunbartonshire, and another local authority area in Scotland coming second in the survey, Woman's Hour might be in line for a shout-out at First Minister's Questions today. Between the council, MSPs, and the MP the area is enough of a political soup for several parties to claim credit.
One wonders if any, however, will be bold enough to state the obvious about the findings and brave enough to say how the outcome was achieved. With the quality of life to be had there, what is East Dunbartonshire, after all, but a microcosm of what the whole of Scotland (or indeed the UK) should be for men as much as women?
Wherever they live, people's basic needs are pretty, well, basic. It is no mystery that they want to live in safe, well-maintained communities with good schools, decent healthcare, transport, and the money to provide for themselves and their families. The dogs in the Easterhouse street could tell you that much. The same straight-talking hounds will also tell you how such a place comes into being. It is money, plain and simple. Sure, there is wealth of sorts to be found in community feeling, green spaces and the like but you cannot beat cold, hard, cash for making good things come about. As the survey found, East Dunbartonshire has Scotland's largest percentage of highly skilled workers, with wages at an hourly average of £15.07. It has been that way for generations. Wealth has been passed down and stayed in the area.
With a certain level of income and education come certain demands, among them for good schools (private as well as state) and other services. Residents, rightly, expect to get what they pay for in taxes and fees. Such is the generally good condition of facilities and services, East Dunbartonshire was able to weather the council tax freeze better than most.
None of this should come as a shock but bringing the not-so-great parts of Scotland up to the level of East Dunbartonshire would require the kind of radical thinking the likes of which mainstream Scotland has thus far been reluctant to engage in, far less put into action. To live in the west of Scotland in general is to become accepting of a patchwork landscape in which wealthy areas sit alongside poverty-blighted ones. The only other place in the UK I have experienced this to the same extent is London.
While London has its tower blocks nestling beside millionaires rows, East Dunbartonshire has Possil, an area where the biggest building is a health centre battling valiantly to help locals beat an average life expectancy of 66 for men (in East Dunbartonshire it is at least 10 years more). Amid all the back-slapping, it should be noted that East Dunbartonshire is not without its problems. Most of these, indeed, stem from the very things that make it such a desirable place to live. Some of the green spaces we profess to be so dear to us have been sold off, with large new housing estates being built. Those who cannot afford a new house will struggle to buy anywhere else in the area.
Widening access to green spaces has meant installing cycle lanes at vast expense and inconvenience to the people who live and work here.
Even without the new housing developments, the traffic at weekends makes going anywhere between 10am and 6pm a pain (particularly if you are stuck behind a bus on a road that has been narrowed to create cycle lanes, or the cyclists, for reasons beyond me, are refusing to use the lanes). On Sundays, the road to Mugdock Country Park is treated like a race track.
The new residents (and some present ones) want supermarkets and other megastores, which in turn drive out the smaller retailers that keep high streets alive. None of this is unique to East Dunbartonshire but what is happening here inevitably spreads to other areas. Success brings its own problems. In Jordanhill, a short drive away, plans to build more than 400 homes on the Jordanhill Campus site have upset locals. Good luck fighting (Glasgow) city hall on that. If East Dunbartonshire is any guide, you will need it.
So thanks for the honour, Woman's Hour, but I think on balance we'll keep quiet about it for the time being. At least until we in Scotland figure out how to spread the joys of East Dunbartonshire around a little more.

Luci d'Artista takes place from November to the first half of January and offers citizens and tourists arts scene never seen in contemporary art, thanks to the creative contribution of internationally famous artists.
From October 31, 2015, the 18th edition of appreciated open space exhibition, will be accessible to the public.
The new edition will include 6 permanent works and 13 temporary works located in different and meaningful places of the city, with the aim of enhancing the works and the sites creating at the same time expectations and curiosity in the audience.
Important novelty of this edition will be the artwork "Climate change" of the famous Turin artist Piero Gilardi, who worked on PAV , Experimental Center of Contemporary Art. The artwork refers to the great animal migrations caused by global warming: a flight of migrating pelicans looking for cooler climates.
In project Luci d'Artista will also housed the works of:
– Enrica Borghi with Mosaico – a lending from the City of Salerno. The artwork had already been hosted with great success in Turin during the 2009/2010 edition;
– Lello FERRIGNO with Il Mito, a lending from the City of Salerno too.

>10 reasons Reshoring is set to continue in 2017Monday, 9th January 2017 posted by admin_Kingfield
If you are unfamiliar with the term, Reshoring is the word used to describe the process by which organisations bring the manufacturing of their products back to the UK following a period of having them manufactured offshore. A trend that first started to gain global momentum in 2011 has continued at a pace and all the anecdotal evidence points to the fact that reshoring is set to continue into 2017 as the attraction of low cost geographies are now not what they once were.
Dave Bailey, Operations Director at Kingfield Electronics states, "Over the past 2-3 years we have seen a significant increase in enquiries from companies actively engaged in reshoring their products. In some instances, work that left the UK only a few years ago has now made its way back to the UK for a variety of reasons.
- Total Cost of Acquisition
- Effective Communication
- Working Capital and Lead time
- Obsolescence Materials Management
- Free Issue
- Flexibility
- Cost of Quality
- Technology
- Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)
- Weakening of Sterling
Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA)
When an OEM Buyer has to decide which contractor to select to manufacture a product, unit price is always going to be high on the agenda. Several years ago it was true that using contract electronic manufacturers in certain geographies gave the OEM buyer the opportunity for potential cost reduction. However, over the years lower purchase prices have gradually been eroded and the reality now for some companies is that these same low cost geographies no longer represent value for money. Once additional factors such as higher wages, duty, freight, the financing of letters of credit and the cost of managing an offshore relationship in terms of both time and travel are taken into consideration, then UK manufacture once more represents a viable alternative. This proves the old adage that 'Price paid is not the same as Cost'.
Effective Communication
In our experience one of the activities that is often under-estimated at the start of any offshore relationship is the amount of effort that will be required to manage communications. This is an intangible area and can often be overlooked at the outset of an offshoring exercise as the lure of a cheaper unit price can sometimes cloud the decision making process. Customers are now demanding added functionality and regular software upgrades as standard. As a result, keeping control of the communication of engineering changes of a constantly changing product which is sometimes being manufactured thousands of miles away and in a different time zone can sometimes prove more costly and time consuming than had first been thought.
Working Capital and Lead time
In order to make the commercial terms for both parties more attractive, OEMs are often required to place larger orders with offshore manufacturers than they would if they had been working with a UK based Electronic Manufacturing Service provider. This can result in tying up of large amounts of working capital for the OEM as well as having large amounts of inventory on the sea or in the air at any one time thus reducing the company's stock turn. Local sources of supply can respond more flexibly and also service lower quantities on an 'as needs' basis.
Obsolescence and Materials Management
Keeping a tight control over the materials supply chain can be difficult for the OEM when it is being controlled hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Engineering change, product end of life and poor materials management can all generate both component and assembly obsolescence which can quickly erode profit margins and be a nasty shock if unexpected. By relocating manufacturing back to the UK, materials can be audited on site as part of regular business reviews.
Free Issue
I think all would agree that managing some level of free issue materials is not without its idiosyncrasies. Some OEMS choose to continue to manage the supply chain and send component parts out to their offshore manufacturer in kit form. What on the face of it looks like a smart thing to do can at times result in the OEM micro-managing shortages or managing disputes about how many components were sent or the condition of what was received. Add to this the complication of export/import documentation and the decision to free issue in the first place becomes less clear cut.
At Kingfield we get involved in several new product introductions each month. This involves engineering personnel from both parties meeting up to discuss the NPI project plan. In our experience we have found these types of discussions are best held on site where any issues relating to supply chain, production and test can be discussed. Whilst these activities can be carried out via webinars or platforms such as Skype, they simply do not offer the 'insight' into the real world required at this crucial stage of product development.
Cost of Quality
The cost of quality is one of the major reasons we have been given for reshoring. When products bought from offshore contract manufacturers do not meet expectations the cost of any rework can be high. Effective configuration management is also critical in our industry. In addition, we have been involved in a number of situations where clients have asked us to upgrade products which have been manufactured offshore because an engineering change had been missed and the product had been manufactured to the wrong issue level. It was cheaper to have the products modified in the UK than send them back to source. This also brings into question the additional concern of what happens to the product warranty.
Where problems do occur with intellectual property infringement, it can be significantly harder to defend offshore as the laws of individual countries tend to be different. This can therefore take up a lot of time and also incur hefty legal fees to defend such breaches.
Technology advancement in the electronics sector can move at a frighteningly fast pace. As a result some products which once had a very high labour content as a result of the types of components and technology used have now evolved to use a smaller number of automated devices and hence require less direct labour content. As SMT machines in particular cost the same to buy and run in every geography this rather negates the reason to have these type of products manufactured offshore.
Weakening of Sterling
The weakening of sterling since the decision of the UK to leave the EU has made exporting a lot cheaper for UK manufacturers and therefore perhaps more attractive for some OEMs to have their products manufactured back in the UK. Whilst in reality this is probably too early to quantify we are aware of several organisations who have delayed investment decisions until the financial implications are better understood in the wake of Brexit".

While I'm not in the market for any new booties, I am keeping on the hunt for a pair of camel riding boots (my favorite ones that are at least 5 years old have finally bit the dust) and I'd love a pair of over-the-knee boots (inspiration below). I've tried on a couple of pairs but found them to hit me right at my knee, which is kind of weird because I have short legs. I also have shapely calves and find it tricky to find the right pair of regular boots, so I know I'm up for a challenge, but hopefully can find the perfect pair.

Reform could buy ailing Medicare some time
Changing the rules surrounding Medicare Advantage plan pay rates could stave off Medicare insolvency by 18 months, an actuary with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services told a House subcommittee Tuesday.
Recent reports have suggested that Medicare will go broke in early 2019, but paying MA plans at the same rate as traditional Medicare would reduce overall Medicare spending. That would extend the program by a year and a half, said Richard Foster, actuary for CMS. He testified before the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee.
Foster also told the subcommittee that the 10-year cost projection for the Medicare prescription drug benefit is 37% less than analysts had originally anticipated. That is due mostly to lower drug spending estimates, lower-than-expected enrollment and increased competition among drug plans. Members of the subcommittee said they would like to see these competition-based reforms applied to other aspects of the Medicare program to decrease spending.

In today's card, I found yet another use for the stamp set, Forever Evergreen. In case you were wondering if I still hear Barbra Streisand singing when I think of this set, the answer is no. Barbra has left the building, 🙂 I like the sentiment in this stamp set, so I had an idea of how to use it.
The retro design of "This Christmas" DSP (designer series paper) from the Annual Catalog pairs well with the font in Forever Evergreen stamp set. To accomplish making my idea come to life, I would need to perform a little surgery. Stamp surgery, that is. I cut the stamp into three pieces in order to separate the lines and remove the word love. I wanted to have "love" be the focal point of the card.
After cutting the stamp and making a die cut of the word love from Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, I put it all back together the way I had envisioned. I think it works well like this. The image of the stars is also from the Forever Evergreen stamp set. I stamped it in repeat and chose to heat emboss it in silver to match the die cut. To me, this card is reminiscent of 1940's Christmas design and I really like the look. I hope you like it too.

Today, No Coast announces the 2017 artist lineup. Joe Mack, Tres Dudes, Aaron Hale and Bethany Keen will perform at Stillwater's world-famous venue, Eskimo Joe's March 3.
Joe Mack is one Oklahoma's most eclectic musicians and an indie media mogul. Aaron Hale is a local singer/songwriter and sometimes one-man-band. Bethany Keen is an Oklahoman whose song is featured in the film "Rough Cut, Episode 3," which will be screened at the film fest. Local trio, Tres Dudes, will return to the fest to represent the Oklahoma Red Dirt sound.
"We're in our infant stages of whatever we are," said No Coast Coordinator Rhett Bryan. "Right now, it's a small showcase of local talent coming together to celebrate art alongside the Red Dirt Film fest."
No Coast and film screenings are free and open to the public. No Coast is 21 and up.

Africa is experiencing the strongest growth in new sovereign wealth funds in the world mainly due to the continent's nations amassing commodity revenues and foreign-exchange reserves.., JPMorgan Asset Management's Patrick Thomson, the global head of sovereigns said that during the past two years, 15 state funds have been set up or are being considered in Africa. He also stated, 'the region will see more starting in the coming years.'
This makes it the fastest region in the world for the growth of sovereign wealth funds. With the rise of commodity prices, African countries are starting to put their surpluses into government-owned funds designed to manage a country's wealth for future generations.
The largest African country with an established wealth fund is Algeria with over USD 77 billion in assets under management. Several of our focus countries have taken an interest in setting up their own such funds. For example, Tanzania and Uganda have recently experienced an upsurge of oil and gas exploration and so are considering launching wealth funds to help manage resources.
There are other reasons behind this trend:
- the ability of sovereign wealth funds to act as a buffer in the event of any potential fiscal shocks.
- reduced reliance on single commodities for fiscal revenues by diversifying a country's income stream.
- they contribute to higher credit rating, which in turn allows the country and its businesses to reduce their costs of borrowing in international markets.

(including drugs, brain and body implants, bionic devices and biogerontology)
The convergence of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information and cognitive sciences have the potential to produce a wide range of therapeutic and augmentational treatments for the human body.
Performance enhancers could appear in the UK around 2011. (Foresight Drugs Future). Used to increase attention, memory or wakefulness, help people sleep better, forget and be less impulsive. Give an unfair competitive edge at work/interview, side effects? Some illegal use today e.g. Ritalin (used to treat attention deficit disorder) used by some students to improve exam results and businessmen to perform better in the boardroom. Evidence that drugs companies are researching into these drugs.
e.g. Pacemaker-like device wired into the brain shown to lift depression in the US and a paralysed man in the US has a chip implanted in this brain to allow him to control everyday objects by thought alone, via a computer.
e.g. Robot suit developed in Japan, to help older people walk and lift things, available now. Robotic exoskeleton developed to enhance human strength and endurance in US. Bionic knee developed, has artificial intelligence, already available. Electronic Visual Prosthesis being developed to restore sight.
Extensive research on ageing going on in the scientific field. For example, a gene discovered that can keep mice alive for 30% longer than usual. Scientists reverse loss of memory in mice. Anti-ageing drugs being developed.
