So should bureacrats and politicians
Give MBBS doctors working in rural India facilities at par with BDOs and SDOs first. After 3 years rural service, give them chance to persue postgraduation according to their merit, and from rural PHCs, post them in the Blocks or CHCs with better infrastructure and according to their seniority give them postings in District hospitals. But these are never going to happen anytime soon in the near future.
Regarding the opinion given by the Minister For Health and Family Welfare
It is a good attempt by the minister regarding advice to the budding Doctors for the dedicated service to the society , but the new Clinical establishment law which will encourage the Corporate type of establishment will be promoted in the big cities. But in the rural setup this may be a set back to the existing seniors who have setup consultation services with the minimum available place to the rural area.
Even now the younger generations are fond of serving in the corporate hospital or starting a corporate type of hospitals.So to give a hope for the serving in the rural setup Practitioners some relaxation may be given
Chitrakoot the temple town between 2 big states of India , U P & M P. Miss Aupriya Patel minister for state ministry of health and family welfare urged the doctors fraternity to serve the community with dedication. Sounds good , unfortunately due to redtapisism, UNNESSESSRY INVOLVEMENT & INTERFACE by the unprofessional BABUS THE BUEROCRATES , having no or less or wrong knowledge things can never happen the way it should be . First and foremost the BUEROCRATES SHOULD BE kept away from all admistrative affairs of both medical education and health care releated issues with out further delay. As long as these nontechnical , unscientific , HIGHDEAD ARROGANT AKWARD ADMINISTRATORS are acting like bosses for highly qualified professionals having knowledge, skills, experience , expertise , sincerity and service motivated doctors( As rightly told by U P CM SRI ADDITYA YOGIGI- DOCTORS ARE NOTHING BUT GODS ON THE EARTH). I AM SURE THEY ARE , UNLESS CONTAMINATED BY CASTIEST COMMUNAL CORRUPT , CORPORATE ,CARELESS ATTITUDE. ( I HAVE COME ACROSS SUCH ONE\'S ALSO). IT IS MY SUGGESTION TO THE YOUNG MINISTER TO PUT FORWARD MY VIEWS ACROSS TABLE WITH YOUR FELLOW MIMISTERS & ALSO OUR P M NARENDRA MODIJI. BABU MUKTHA BHARAT is the only way to make our country to catch up with the DEVOLOPED WORLD. \"\" BHAGAV DESH BACHAV \"\".Bholoo Bharat MATHI ki jai……vande martharam.

Host a Hockey Hero
The Host a Hockey Hero program, financed by the generosity of dozens of
supporters, makes it possible for many former Reds to attend the Annual Reunion. Host a Hockey Hero offsets hotel expenses for
out-of-town hockey ex-players, most of whom must travel long distances to attend
the reunion. In the past, players have absorbed all expenses, including
travel, lodging, and meals. Host a Hockey Hero provides these legends with the
special treatment they deserve.
The Rhode Island Reds would like to thank each of its generous Hockey Hero

After the Wen Scandal Should we ditch cleansing conditioner all together?
Cleansing conditioner is an attractive proposition for most people. After all, as a well known two in one brand asked in its 1980s tv adverts, "why take two bottles into the shower when you can take one?"
There are two issues to consider when thinking of ditching the shampoo and going for an all-in-one product:
1. Does it work? Does it actually clean my hair and condition it, and perhaps more importantly
2. Will it cause any damage to my hair?
Everyone's Hair is Different
Because people have different hair types and scalp oil production varies there is probably no simple answer to either question. Certainly, there may be a propensity for the hair to be oilier and heavier if a cleansing conditioner is used although many people swear by the combined products, claiming it makes their hair feel softer and easier to manage.
Alarmingly, last year on October 31st a federal judge in Los Angeles gave preliminary approval to a $26.3 million settlement in a class action suit against Chaz Dean and his Wen cleansing conditioner, filed by a group of 200 women in 40 states. The basis of the claim is some serious side effects from scalp irritation to hair loss.
Chaz Dean stands by its cleansing conditioner
Of course, this is only a preliminary hearing and it's too early to make an informed decision about the product.
Chaz Dean is seeking a settlement to avoid the time and cost of litigation (and presumably to limit the damage to the brand) but they are firmly standing behind their products, saying "Wen by Chaz Dean is safe and we continue to provide our hundreds of thousands of customers with the Wen by Chaz Dean products that they know and love,".
The truth is that the experts haven't been able to get to grips with what might be causing the problems in the product. Dermatologists and MDs such as Debra Jaliman and Mary Gail Mercurio concur that the symptoms described make no sense, nor does the prosecuting lawyers explanation of the product "impacting on the hair follicles".
There's probably no need to ditch cleansing conditioner. If you're using one already and it works for you then why stop? If it's the first time you've used the product then (as with any new beauty product) monitor it closely and keep a look out for any adverse effects.

Hello, can somebody help me in te interpretation of the actual BioCor test.
There are two graphs : one is StDev S the other is StDev E.
Is « S » for area, and in that case what does it mean?
I suppose the « E » is for energy.
I also saw that sometimes you have an increase of « S » with « increase » of « E »
but, strange enough also an increase of « S » with lowering of « E ». I do not know how to interpret that.
That you for your input.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) is a process that encompasses at least three parties: buyers, suppliers and funders. The primary goal of the SCF process is to help bridge the gap between buyers and suppliers by providing a solution that improves working capital and cash flow. As both buyers and suppliers experience payment pressures, their core needs are similar. Buyers invariably wish to have extended payment terms to help lessen pressure on their outgoing cash flows, while suppliers wish to collect their payments as fast as possible for the same reason, which will enable them to purchase and sell more goods. When a buyer's working capital and cash flow management objectives conflict with those of their suppliers, it creates this classic tension and increases supply chain liquidity risk.
Supply Chain Finance is a financial solution that meets the needs of both buyers and suppliers. Suppliers are paid quickly, albeit at a discount, and buyers can extend their payment terms, increasing their free cash flow. Through SCF programs, finance providers help alleviate cash-flow issues faced by buyers and suppliers by enabling both parties to agree on a pre-determined payment schedule. The finance provider pays the suppliers the invoice amounts, less any discounts and finance charges, and subsequently collects the invoice payments from the Buyer as per pre-agreed terms and conditions.
Through the SCF solution, the supplier receives their money on an early settlement schedule at an agreed-upon discount, while the buyer pays the finance provider the full invoice amount at the original maturity date. Through the SCF solution, the buyer's free cash flow is increased by extended payment terms, which can generate higher returns and enhance corporate liquidity. Improved liquidity for both buyers and suppliers can make them more equipped to deal with short-term financial risks and also strengthen their long-term financial health. In some cases, the SCF provider provides incentives to the buyers for their participation in structuring and administering SCF programs.
Creating a win-win solution for buyers and suppliers is the primary aim of supply chain finance. Buyers win by being able to improve their cash flows, while also strengthening their relationship with their suppliers. Suppliers win by having their outstanding invoices paid sooner, enabling them to reinvest the working capital back into their business.
Supply Chain Finance is a powerful cash management solution, which has been made accessible for more and more businesses. SCF brings simplicity and security in supply chain management and strengthens the relation of the supplier and buyer by accelerating payments and improving working capital of both parties. Thus SCF has become an efficient option for businesses seeking optimal cash management strategies that can boost liquidity, optimize cash management, and improve supplier-buyer relationships and satisfaction.
Tawreeq Holdings Limited, with presence in the UAE, Luxembourg, and Morocco, specializes in comprehensive Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solutions for Small and Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs) and their corporate clients across the MENA region connecting them to regional hubs in Africa, Asia, and European markets. Tawreeq's solutions offer a holistic approach toward SCF and are made available through state-of-the-art SCF technology platforms swiftly connecting suppliers, buyers and investors.

Summer heat is just around the corner, and your best defense is a central air-conditioning system. There are a few things you can do to make sure that it's tuned up and ready to go when the summer sun arrives.
Before you start tinkering with the system, it's important to understand the basics of how it works. Central air consists of three main parts: the condenser, the blower unit, and the ductwork.
The condenser is the large outdoor unit. Its role is to manage the temperature of the refrigerant, usually Freon, which travels back and forth from the house. The condenser does this by pressurizing the Freon gas as it arrives, turning it into a high-temperature liquid. The Freon then travels back to the house and to the blower unit.
Once it enters the blower unit, the Freon changes into a gas and becomes colder. This cold gas then gets piped through a coil located in the ductwork. Air blows through the coil, which is how it cools down before it continues into the house. The blower unit is constantly pulling air from the house through return ducts, forcing it through the cooling coil and then back to the house through supply ducts. Then it's back to the condenser where it is pressurized back into a liquid, and the cycle starts again.
The filters are located at the blower unit and are usually placed where the return duct meets the unit. Check your filters. A badly clogged filter slows down the airflow through the blower unit, allowing the cooling coil to ice up. This could cause your unit to shut down.
When warm air passes through the cooling coil, condensation occurs. Depending on where your blower unit is located, this moisture may go into a gravity-fed drain, or it may go into a pan under the blower unit. If it's in a basement, the pan may have a small pump to move the water to a drain. If the unit is in an attic, the water may just enter the pan and evaporate.
Check the metal fins on the condenser. Hail can damage these fins. Much like the radiator in your car, these fins play a crucial role in temperature management. If the fins are bent or cracked, they will have to be repaired or the condenser unit will not work properly.

Meet Kate, she's one of the newest Indy with Kids contributors and we're so excited to have her voice on our team. Her education background makes her a natural for writing about children and her lifestyle makes her the perfect fit for our team!
What are some favorite places our readers might run into you sometime?
I absolutely LOVE Indianapolis and all it has to offer. In nice weather we can be found at various parks around the city and anywhere swimming or water play is happening. When it's time to play inside we love The Urban Chalkboard play cafe, The Children's Museum, and exploring the offerings of the YMCA and the local libraries.
Tell us about your family?
My husband Matt and I are both Butler alums and we live in SoBro, so we are really enjoying the Indy lifestyle. We have two young boys, Luke (2) and Jack (1), and are expecting a baby girl this May. Matt works as a web developer and I am home with the kids, although I do have plans to return to teaching in the future. As a family we enjoy being outside, travel, and pretty much anything that allows us to be active together.
What non-child related things do you do for fun?
I love to go out to eat kid-free, but it doesn't happen very often! I enjoy reading, planning adventures, creating photo books, and spending time with my husband and girlfriends.
Best place to eat in Indy
with kids – My kids love Yats, and if it's nice enough to walk there we will! We also enjoy Zest for a tasty lunch, and the Original Pancake House for the occasional breakfast away from home.
with a girlfriend – I can't get enough of brunch at Petit Chou, and I'm always up for trying the new place in town.
on a date – On our rare nights out my husband and I love to stay local and casual so Twenty Tap and Broad Ripple Sushi Bar are a couple of our favorites.
What do you do with your kids on a rainy day?
We aren't big fans of staying in, so a rainy day might send us to the IMA to create in the Star Studio, or the library for a music class and some stories. If we do stay home we are likely to explore new materials in the sensory bin, or go out stomping in puddles!
Is your family more of an outdoor family or indoor family?
We are an outdoor family, for sure. We love being on the water when we can, walking or dining outside in the evenings, or just hanging out in the back yard.
What's to love about Indy?
What's not to love about Indy?!? If I had to choose I think the reason Indy is so close to my heart is the small-town feel with the big city amenities.
What's on your playlist?
Oh, everything. Pink, Billy Joel, Usher, Kings of Leon, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Raffi, the YouTube Wheels on the Bus medley…
What's one thing your kids would say you aren't very good at?
I think my kids would say I'm not very good at crawling! We have hard floors and I have old knees! They would also probably say I'm not very good at making lunch.
What are you looking forward to in 2015:
I'm looking forward to meeting our new baby, of course! Truly, though, I'm just loving watching our kids grow up and there are always ten new things coming our way!
How would your best friend describe you in three words?
I'd like to think my closest friends would say I am adventurous, funny, and kind. But maybe they would say I'm sarcastic, neurotic, and perpetually pregnant!

KITS - 15" Boysenberry faux fur bear
Have you always loved teddy bears, and thought that you might like to have a go at making one of your own??? Then what better way to test it out than with a bear kit!
*** This listing is for a stunning faux fur bear kit made using our brand new 'Frido' bear design, just like the bear in the example photos. (Please note that this fur appears differently depending on how the light hits it. Inside/ in shadow it appears very dark, but when well lit you see all of the gorgeous berry-highlights)
It works like this:
- You get 1/4m piece of our unique 'Boysenberry' faux fur (you'll have a little extra left over in case of error - it happens to the best of us!).
- and a 1/16m piece of the 'Magnolia' faux fur (also used for the paw pads)
- a 45mm purple joint set
- one pair of 16mm black glass eyes
- a copy of our 'Frido' bear pattern
- And you get black nose thread (DMC pearl) for embroidering the nose and pulling claws/toes if desired
(all you need is stuffing, sewing thread and tools. Shading effect has been created using silk-dye, but any regular teddy shading medium would work - this is not included though.)
This pattern makes up so beautifully with two complementary fabrics, and you're not limited to this colour combo either! Let me know if you'd prefer another fur combo based on our available stock, and we'll do a custom price for you.
Suitable for intermediate-beginner bear making skills as the pattern includes inserts for the secondary colour which is just a little tricker then a single-colour bear.
Comes with simplified, step by step instructions and photo of the finished bear for reference.
All pieces are at correct size - no enlarging or reducing required.
All patterns are copied exactly from my personal stock and have been hand drawn and designed by me. They are also my well loved designs and have been tested on numerous occasions - So i know that they work! Seam allowances, openings. fur directions etc have been pre-marked on the pieces.
I am also totally ok with any bears made from my patterns being re-sold. Just reference the use of my pattern when describing/tagging the bear.
[Please note that the bears in the photos are simply examples of bears i have made using this pattern and are not included in the sale]

Sparks Fly on Day Two of the NCAA Antitrust Trial
On September 5, 2018, a Stanford University professor, Dr. Roger Noll, testified as an economist expert on behalf of the college athletes in the ongoing NCAA antitrust trial. Dr. Noll criticized the NCAA's amateurism rules, claiming that college basketball and football is not a "fragile enterprise dependent on how much players get paid." As we have previously reported, in this particular lawsuit, a class of college athletes are attempting to challenge the existing NCAA amateurism rules and attempting to create an open market for various NCAA schools to compete for top college recruits. Dr. Noll testified that the NCAA's concept of amateurism "a fiction."
According to Dr. Noll, the NCAA's amateurism rules change annually, additional items are deemed eligible, and others ineligible, for compensation every year. For example, "things like emergency travel funds were considered professional sports payments five to ten years ago, they aren't now." According to Noll, "[w]hatever doesn't violate NCAA rules – that's the definition of amateurism. Whatever they say is allowed is consistent with amateurism." Similar to Daniel Rascher's testimony on September 4, 2018, Dr. Noll said that there is no empirical evidence to suggest the O'Bannon rule change had diminished sports revenues. The O'Bannon decision forced the NCAA, and its member schools, to begin paying college athletes up to the cost of attendance and to offer additional benefits above the cost of attendance.
Like Rascher's testimony, Dr. Noll's testimony, directly contradicts statements made by the NCAA in their opening statement. According to the NCAA, the "amateurism rules" are fundamental to the NCAA because college students want to see competition for their school by fellow students, alumni and others want to see students compete for the schools they support, and even fans with no particular school connection want to see amateur student competition. Simply put, in their opening statements, the NCAA argued that amateurism defined NCAA sports and removing the amateurism rules would destroy the very essence of the NCAA.

My favorite place to eat is on the south edge of town, in a quiet, leafy strip of block apartments and service garages. When I sat down there this morning a groggy voice called my name. It was Petko, inviting me to join him and his pale friend at their table. Petko is a small guy in his 20's who wears the nicest high-tops in town. He runs a dim, windowless 'internet café' in the town center, which is periodically shut down by the police. Gaunt, antsy people are often asking after his whereabouts.
My plan was to write some letters as I ate, but I try to never pass up an opportunity to interact на български, so I picked up my purse and moved to their table, shaking hands with Petko's friend as I sat down. His eyes looked bruised and watery. Petko roused himself to greet me and then went back to resting his head on the table, cradled between his elbows, one hand on his beer. An older woman came by, and I ordered the house speciality: шкембе чорба (shkembey chorba). Originally from Turkey, it's bits of tripe in a tangy, spicy broth. It's salty and nourishing and cheap; a bowl of шкембе чорба, a hunk of bread and a beer is the Bulgarian equivalent to scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and a Bloody Mary. It was Saturday morning. Every table was full. The place was nearly silent, and the server and I were the only women there.
"Do you have a hangover too?" asked Petko.
The conversation took a familiar turn, to where I'm from and how long I've studied Bulgarian. Petko complimented me on my command of gendered nouns and adjectives, and I confirmed that English nouns and adjectives do not have genders. "It's the same in Turkish," said his friend, who can understand Turkish but not speak it, he said. Once I oriented them to where Oregon is ("до Калифорния е"), they asked me where Nelly was from. "Nelly?" I asked, wondering if there was an American living in town I didn't know, named Nelly. No, they were talking about Nelly, the rapper. Turns out he's from St. Louis, but at the time I had no idea. "Do you like hip-hop?" they asked. Of course I like hip-hop.
The guys were also impressed with my taste for tripe. "Lots of people don't eat шкембе чорба. They see the word шкембе and they run," said Petko. I told them we have something similar in the States, a Mexican soup called menudo. Many United Statesians won't try it because it has tripe.
"That's just like here!" said Petko's friend, "The шкембе чорба in Bulgaria is actually from Turkey, and in America it's from Mexico."
"Uh, more or less," I shake my head yes.

Not all paper is created equal.
We know it. And if you're here, then you know it, too. Whether you're selecting paper for a personal project or corporate assignment, there's a fine science when it comes to understanding the subtle nuances of paper. You may ask yourself questions you never thought existed, such as:
- What printer paper size do I need – A2 or A8?
- What paper types are available?
- What kind of attributes – weight and brightness, for example – are better suited for this job versus that job?
There's more than meets the eye to those blank sheets of whiteness that we print things on. It all depends on your specific needs – something our Paper Buying Guide can easily and expertly help solve needs.
Like any project, it's always a good idea to start with a few tried-and-true questions, such as:
Do you know what standard paper size you need?It's important to find the right size of paper for the job. Certain everyday print jobs – such as printing letters and proposals – call for specific sizes of paper, typically 8.5" x 11" sheets. Other, not-so-ordinary projects may call for paper sizes that are either bigger or smaller.
For instance… Are you thinking big? Like, real big? The largest of all standardized paper is A0. Now, you may not think A0 is right for the job, but it's quite the tool of the trade when it comes to common projects, including:
- Posters (Very, very large posters)

Always remember, the bigger the paper size, the larger the price tag. And A0, while effective for certain types of projects, can be expensive. Always know the dimensions of your job before you make a trip to the printer or purchase paper.
Will it work with your printer?For quality purposes, know whether you're printing with a laser or an inkjet printer. Also, consider sizing (letter vs. tabloid vs super B) and if you will need matching envelopes. You don't want to get further into the process only to realize that you need to backtrack. That's time – and money – that could be better spent.
Does it match your professional needs?
Simply put, does the paper's weight reel in the professional and authentic message you intend to convey? Nothing screams cheap and amateur like flimsy or see-through paper. Keep this in mind when printing business cards. You want your company to carry its own weight and feel bold and confident when you hand out business cards, or other marketing materials. For a list of which paper weight and thickness is best for the job, check out our paper weight and thickness guide.
Does your project require exact specifications for a paper type?
Sometimes a selected project requires specific paper attributes, such as weight, thickness, and brightness level (or percentage). Or, the project may need to be printed on recycled paper. While you may have never thought of these attributes as being important, our guide can help you answer your questions and, in turn, select the right paper for purchase.
The above are just a few important questions to consider when starting the paper selection and purchasing process. For more insight on the best paper for the job, check out our paper buying checklist.
Whatever your paper purchasing needs may be, we'll help you buy like a pro. Home office or large business, let us show you the differences and offer helpful hints for purchasing the proper paper for the job.

Podgorica – Montenegrin stock markets in the last few days were again caught by euphoria, which can be concluded from the sudden increase of prices and circulation, but in a much lower degree than it was the case during the August and September last year.
At this moment buyers are mostly interested in the stock shares of the Industry of aluminum whose offer is lacking. The price of the stock share of IA yesterday reached 11, 98€ or about 50% more than it was the case month ago.
As "Vijesti" find out, on the market of capital, among main buyers of the Industry at this moment are foreign financial institutions, such as Austrian Zveza Bank, and Podravska Bank. Since the middle of the last year when the stock market started working in the year 2007 over million of euros was spent on the stock chares of IA. Even though that amount is not stunning, at this moment it is considered to be high, because as it can be heard on the market, the offer of the stock shares of IA is pretty small because of which the prices are growing from day to day, but with a much lower circulation than it was the case during the last year.
The Industry of aluminum at this moment has about 3.500 stock share holders, among whom most numerous are workers and citizens. The most significant minor owners, however, are Croatian investors, then funds from Slovenia and also from Croatia, as well as several domestic companies, funds and broker houses.
Major owner, a Cyprus Salamon enterprise behind which stands the Russian capital, at the moment controls about 57% of the stock shares of IA.

Fifteen workers at two different petroleum industry companies recently voted to join Teamsters Local 25 in Boston.
On February 27, 2017, six workers at Camin Cargo Control in Everett, Massachusetts voted decisively to join Local 25. On April 28, 2017 a group of nine workers at AmSpec Services, LLC, also in Everett, voted 6-0 to join Local 25. Camin is a leader in the petroleum cargo management industry and AmSpec analyzes and measures petroleum and petrochemical products.
"We are excited to welcome our newest members at Camin and AmSpec," said Sean M. O'Brien, Local 25 President. "We continue to grow our membership in this industry and we will work hard to negotiate a contract that addresses their needs."
The workers are seeking respect on the job, improved working conditions, fair treatment and a voice in the workplace.
"The leadership of Teamsters Local 25 showed our workers great respect from day one," said Abdelkader Makhlouf, a worker at Camin Cargo. "The focus was always on what we wanted, how they could help us, what beng part of the union means, and how they would always be in our corner fighting for us. Even though we are just a group of six workers joining a family 11,000-plus strong, we know that our voices will matter and will always be heard."

WASHINGTON — Chemicals and pathogens in treated recreational water such as public pools can lead to outbreaks, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns.
From 2000 to 2014, 500 such outbreaks were reported, according to the CDC's latest Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. More than 27,000 people were sick and eight deaths were linked to outbreaks associated with exposure to treated water during a 15-year span.
According to Michele Hlavsa, chief of CDC's Healthy Swimming Program, pools, hot tubs and water playgrounds mainly at hotels and motels, are all at risk of spreading germs.
"The leading cause of these outbreaks is cryptosporidium, a parasite that causes diarrhea that's really resistant to chlorine," said Hlavsa.
To stay healthy in the water, the CDC says swimmers should avoid swallowing the water or swimming with diarrhea.
Changing diapers and hourly bathroom breaks helps stop the spread of the parasite. The CDC also suggests checking the facility's inspection score before swimming. State and local health department websites may also post these scores.
Doing your own inspection using a test strip to check the chlorine or bromine level before you get in the water also helps protect young swimmers and avoid health hazards.

Filed under: hockey, USHL, Cedar Rapids, Kernels, baseball, NFL | Tags: Abbotsford, American Hockey League, hockey, pucks, Quad City Flames, Quad City Mallards, United States Hockey League
Well, it's official. The parent Calgary Flames have released the Quad City Flames from their obligation to provide Calgary an American Hockey League franchise for their players to develop in. The team is officially don after this season, which ends in April.
It's bewildering how an area that went to nuts over the Quad City Mallards for all those years could simply ignore a higher quality product. Guys in the AHL have already played in the NHL and are just a phone call from going back there. It's wonderful hockey.
So now what with the Quad Cities. There has been some talk that it could get a team and join the United States Hockey League. It's a geographic fit, for sure, though it's hard to imagine the public down there thinking junior hockey is all the rage after failing to support an AHL team.
At any rate, here's a story from the Quad City Times on the future of hockey in the area:
Leaders say Q-C hockey has future after Flames
- Font Size:
- Default font size
- Larger font size
) comments
The hockey doctor senses a pulse.
"I don't think hockey is dead in the Quad-Cities," said Howard Cornfield, architect of the Quad-City Mallards' mad success from 1997 through the middle portion of this decade. "It's injured right now."
The American Hockey League's Quad-City Flames will limp out of town in April, a victim of too few fans and too much expense.
Hockey attendance is at an all-time low in the Quad-Cities this season, at 2,967 a game, or barely a third of the fans who packed the building when Cornfield's Mallards averaged 8,646 in 1997-1998.
Cornfield and others think those decade-old numbers still are proof that hockey should resurface at the i wireless Center, perhaps even in the form of another American Hockey League team.
When that should happen is subject to debate.
Scott Mullen, executive director of the iwC, wants hockey back in his building at the earliest possible juncture.
"I am a hockey guy and I want hockey in the Quad-Cities," Mullen said Thursday from southern California, where he was on arena business. "That is one of our top priorities. We worked hard to get the AHL to come. We want hockey in the building."
In fact, the Quad-City Civic Center Authority invested more than $700,000 in bringing the rink and the arena up to AHL standards when Quad-Cities Sports Ventures and Calgary announced plans to bring the AHL here in the spring of 2007.
The arena's lease with QCSV calls for the Q-C Flames ownership group to repay that money if it didn't complete the five-year term of the lease. So lead QCSV partner Dennis Voss is anxious to find a new tenant willing to assume those final three years.
But who?
Voss said potential expansion of the International Hockey League, which formed from the remnants of the United Hockey League QCSV left behind two years ago, could include the Quad-Cities.
IHL president Paul Pickard said that's something his league would welcome — "if there's ownership interest."
Cornfield, who has contacts throughout the minor league hockey world, said he knows of a couple groups looking to get into the hockey business.
But the IHL, currently a six-team league with a couple of teams in distress, isn't an option he would recommend, he said.
Geographically, he said the AHL makes the most sense, but it might be too late at this juncture to attract the interest of any NHL teams looking for a place to move an affiliate.
NHL Edmonton has a dormant franchise. Still unannounced is which AHL franchise will move to Austin, Texas, next year as a Dallas Stars affiliate.
Another option that might be in the works is to bring a high-level junior team from the United States Hockey League.
Mullen said that might not be the best option, after having exposed Q-C fans to hockey a level shy of the NHL.
"I can't say it would be ruled out, but a building our size would seek a higher level professional team," he said.
Perhaps the best option, Cornfield said, is to allow the patient some time to rehabilitate.
"It is not a good time for hockey in our town right now," he said. "I think similar to other markets that have gone away and come back to life, this market probably has to heal for a year or two and you'll certainly see some interest.
"The building is too good. The fan base is too good."
Cornfield said if an AHL team decided now to play here in 2010-2011, it could spend all of next winter re-preparing the market.
"Hopefully, they open an office in September and start working their tails off selling hockey here," he said.
The best marketing tool Cornfield and others can think of?
At the height of their popularity, the Mallards won three Colonial Cup championships and they reached the finals six out of seven seasons.
The Flames failed to make the AHL playoffs last year and are battling for the final spot in the West Division field right now.
"I don't know that the league matters much," Voss said of the potential next Q-C hockey crew, "as long its a first or second-place team."

Great, just great. It sounds like the people of QC are blaming Calgary for not putting a winner on the ice, and Calgary is leaving because the people of QC didn't come to the games?
This is a sad sad day. To think that the QCA may be without a hockey franchise. It's just sad. Having grown up in Rockford my entire life one would think I'd have been drawn to the Icehogs. Instead I have been a Quad City hockey fan for as long as I can remember. It was just so much more fun to go to Mallards games than Icehogs games. They were a winner!!! Need I remind you that the Mallards still hold the record for consecutive 50-win seasons with 6? But then it started to crumble. The team started to get older and they weren't winning as much. People didn't come out, why? Because the team wasn't performing. If a team doesn't perform, should the fans still be expected to come? When has this new Flames team ever performed? I've been to a lot of games and have seen the team perform really well on several occasions. However, I've seem them squander a lot of late leads or ties and wind up losing games they should have at least pushed to overtime. There is no reason this team should be in 7th place. They have a lot of talent but for some reason, maybe this talent doesn't work well together. Maybe Calgary's moves aren't always the best. I don't know what they got for him but to trade away a Kevin Lalande and recall Matt Keetley? That was a horrible move. To keep Dan Spang in the lineup for as long as he was? Ok, now I'm just nitpicking but let's just say, I don't feel like the effort was made to make this team a winner. A coaching move, a big trade, something should have happened to at least show the fans that Calgary wanted this team to succeed, but it never happened. Maybe, not for sure but maybe, if they had done something to make this team more competitive, then fans would have come out. Shouldn't it have been job number one for this season to make this team into at least a playoff team? Doesn't seem like it was. Anyway, this really stings. I hope we get something back Quad Cities because I for one will miss having hockey here (by the way, I do live in the area now) and I can't really see myself cheering for the IceHogs ever.
I'd rather watch a losing team play at a high-level of competition than watch a bunch of never-will-bes dominate the way the Mallards did.
That makes me a minority.
The majority of fans are too stupid to wrap their feeble minds around the concept of minor league sports. It isn't about wins and losses and the local front office has no control over them (unlike the Mallards days)
There'd probably be a lot of mouth-breathers who would prefer to Kernels left town so Cedar Rapids could get some Iowa Valley action going at DATPFAVMS (That would be Dale and Thomas Popcorn Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium) so they could "root for a winner."
As far as I'm concerned, the Quad Cities doesn't deserve another crack at fielding high-level affiliated hockey. Much like my ex, both had no idea how good their situations were until it was too late.
Jorge, that does put you into the minority. Me as well. I will love hockey until the day I die and I will attend games and root my team on no matter what. But you're not going to get "casual fan" in the arena without a quality product. They couldn't even get casual fan in the gate when they were offering $5 upper bowl tix. That's partially marketing but it's partially product. How can you expect to get someone who is currently uninterested in the sport into the arena to watch a game when the odds are really in favor of losing? It is fun to go to games but they haven't marketed the team well and Calgary hasn't helped by not helping field a competitive squad. So while I do agree with you Jorge, you have to understand that the reason for this is money and there just aren't enough people like you and me that will continue to attend despite the product quality.

Between 1992-2002, hundreds of Jews had been murdered by Arab suicide bombers who had entered Israel from the Palestinian Authority. Israel got tired of all the killing. Israel decided to protect itself. It would build a security fence.
The purpose of this fence was to cut off easy access to Israel. The goal of the fence was to stop 'terrorism of the most brutal kind' ("Questions and Answers: Israel's Security fence", The State of Israel, Ministry of Defence, 2003; last updated, February 22, 2004).
At the time the fence was being constructed, Israel stated that, "The fact that over 800 men, women and children have been killed in horrific suicide bombings and other terror attacks clearly justifies the attempt to place a physical barrier in the path of terrorists" (ibid). Israel declared that it "not only has the right but also the obligation to do everything in its power to lessen the impact and scope of terrorism on the citizens of Israel" (ibid).
The fence wasn't being built to establish a de facto border (ibid). It was being built because Jews were being brutally murdered. The fence seemed an appropriate—and passive—way to address that problem.
By 2007, the effect of this barrier was obvious for all to see: only two Palestinian suicide bombers had managed—in 2006--to sneak into Israel for attacks that killed 11 people and wounded 30 others ("Death toll of Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians hit a low in 2006", mcclatchydc.com, June, 14, 2007). By June, 2007, Israel had gone nine months without a single suicide bombing inside its borders (ibid). These numbers compare to a high of 289 suicide bombing deaths in 2002, the year Israel decided to build the Fence (ibid).
In case readers didn't understand the significance of these numbers, at least one objective observer concluded that one major factor in "Israel's success in insulating most of its citizens" against terror was the Fence (ibid).
"The security fence was put up to stop terror," a spokesperson for the Israel Defence Force said, "and that's what it's doing" (ibid).
The Israelis were happy. The fence worked.
But then, it turned out that this Fence wasn't a barrier built to block Arab terror. It was something else.
That fence, anti-Israel advocates said, was "a unilateral Israeli move to delineate permanent borderlines and gain hold of Palestinian lands" ("Israeli Security Fence Architect: Why The Barrier Had to Be Built", Al Monitor, July 1, 2012). It was, according to an updated Arab Narrative, an Apartheid Wall. It wasn't built to protect anyone. It was built to harm Arabs—to cut off Arabs from their agricultural land. It wasn't a Wall. It wasn't a fence. It was a Separation Barrier, designed to separate Arabs from their ability to survive ("Is it a Fence? Is it a Wall? No, it's a Separation Barrier", Electronic Intifada, August 1, 2003).
It was a physical example of Israeli oppression. It was a visual record of that oppression ("Walled off: 12 years of Israel's separation barrier", Al Jazeera America, March 12, 2014). It expanded Israel's theft of 'Palestinian' land (" The Wall," StoptheWall, no date).
The United Nations joined the anti-Israel chorus. Its pro-'Palestinian' UNRWA ("Barrier Monitoring Unit", above, ibid), saw to it that the Fence was declared illegal (ibid).
The Israelis actually believed that this security fence was a way to block Arab terror. Terror statistics proved that.
But Israelis got it wrong. The Arab Narrative drowned Israel in a tsunami of propaganda. Palestinian spin-meisters maneuvered a gullible West into believing that the Fence violated 'Palestinian' human rights ("The Separation Barrier", B'Tselem, January 1, 2011). After all, didn't it restrict Arabs' freedom of movement (ibid)?
Even if the Fence stopped terror attacks, it wasn't a true solution. It wasn't a means to protect Jews. It was "the most extreme solution and one that causes the greatest harm to the local population" (ibid).
Israel has been demonized (the Fence is Apartheid) and criminalized (it's illegal) over this fence. We are reminded of this because recent news has reached us of another Fence. This Fence is in Saudi Arabia ("New Saudi Border Security Policy: Shoot on Sight", PJ Media, January 21, 2015). The Saudis, like the Israelis, are worried about militant Muslims (ISIS) crossing into their country to kill. To protect themselves, they have taken a cue from Israel: they're building a Wall—600 miles long—to seal their borders (ibid). This Fence, you should note, is at least 30 per cent longer than Israel's Fence.
To supplement the Fence, the Saudis order their border guards to shoot on sight anyone approaching the Fence. Israel doesn't have such an order.
No one has complained about the Saudi Fence—or its order to police to shoot on sight. No one objects.
But then, why should anyone want to complain about protecting oneself? What's wrong with a Fence?

Recent Case demonstrating contra proferentem: Campbell v Bank of Queensland Ltd [2011] QSC 122
- Campbell signed a general indemnity form regulating all future fax/email withdrawals from his line of credit with the Bank. $35k with withdrawn via forged signatures, and the Bank attempted to rely on that general indemnity to avoid having to reimburse Campbell.
- Argument over whether 'signed in accordance with the Customer's current authorities held by the Bank and in a form satisfactory to the Bank' was sufficient to allow the bank to be protected if it was only APPARENTLY signed in accordance with the authorities to the degree that the bank was satisified that it was. However as Darlington was applied, this was interpreted contra proferentem against the bank to require it ACTUALLY be signed in accordance with the authorities (specifically Campbell or his sister) and exclude forgeries of any other party.
Unfair Contract Terms (ss 23-28)
- section 64 ONLY prohibits the exclusion of the guarantees in the ACL – doesn't prevent general exclusion of liability clauses
- Big concern is consumers signing long standard form contracts without actually reading any of them – wanted some general protection from unfair terms
- Aim: Protect consumers who have no bargaining power and can't negotiate their own terms
- Applies To: Standard Form Contracts only (but all contracts assumed to be standard form unless the corporation can rebut that presumption – probably requires more than allowing them to changed a few words)
- Level of Protection: Sever/void the unfair term. What IS an unfair term is left to the courts discretion, but a 'grey list' of likely unfair terms is provided to assist.
- Which Terms: Only the non-essential (cannot apply to the upfront price, or the subject matter of the contract (eg. the quantity, or the product itself))
- Who is Protected: Only individuals (consumers and potentially sole traders)
- Enforcement: By consumers, or possibly by regulators acting on consumers behalf (as opposed to the ACCC acting independently/proactively)
- No express 'good faith' obligation
Australian Approach to Unfair Terms
1. Must be a standard form contract (question of fact - onus on business to prove it isn't a standard form contract – if they succeed, term is not unfair)
2. There must be a significant imbalance in rights/obligations of the parties (onus on consumer to establish – if they fail, term is not unfair)
3. The term must be detrimental to the consumer (if relied upon – detriment need not have actually occurred, as long as it WOULD occur) (onus on consumer to establish – if they fail, term is not unfair)
4. Not 'reasonably necessary' to protect the legitimate interests of the business (onus on business to prove it IS necessary – if they succeed, term is not unfair)
5. Then factor in degree of transparency and contract as a whole, as well as comparing term to the indicative list to determine if it is actually unfair (not requirements, merely indicators)
Examples of Unfair Terms
(a) one party avoids or limits performance
(b) permit one party to terminate contract
(c) penalises one party (but not another party for breach or termination
(d) permits one party to vary terms
(e) permits one party to renew or not renew contract
(f) permits one party to vary the upfront price without the right of other to terminate;
(g) permits one party unilaterally to vary characteristics of goods/services/interest in land
(h) permits one party unilaterally to determine whether contract breached or to interpret meaning;
(i) limits one party's vicarious liability for its agents;
(j) permits one party to assign contract to the detriment of other without consent
(k) limits one party's right to sue another party;
(l) limits evidence one party can adduce
(m) imposes evidential burden on one party
(n) prescribed by regulations

Getting a mortgage may be the largest purchase most Americans will ever make, nevertheless you wouldn't know that from the moment most of us spend purchasing one. According to a recently available report by the Client Financial Protection Business, 47 percent connected with home buyers don't examine lenders and 77 percent only utilize with a single mortgage lender or broker (base). That's scary. You must know what types of mortgage loans are offered. You need to know which financial loan types are not great for your situation. This guide examines the common mortgage types and compares these people so that you can choose correctly.
Types of Mortgages
There are several forms of home loans and mortgage loans. Each comes with its very own advantages and disadvantages, so it is crucial that you understand what the options usually are before you rush straight into an agreement with a mortgage lender.
Here are the types of home mortgages to consider:
Compare Best Mortgages Here
Fixed Rate
Fixed rate loans are perhaps the easiest to understand. That has a fixed rate loan, your interest rate stays the same during the entire loan. Which means that your principal along with interest payments never differ for as long as you have the personal loan. Common term plans for fixed interest rate lending products are 10, 15, 20, or Many years.
For example, if you have a new $200,000 15-year term bank loan with a fixed APR of 3.25 percent, an individual's mortgage payment would be $1405.Thirty-four for the entire term of your loan. That cost would never vary, whilst your interest rate would keep exactly the same throughout the life span of your loan.
Adjustable Rate
An adjustable rate mortgage or perhaps ARM is a mortgage with an adjustable rate. Unlike a fixed rate – which remains the similar for the entire term of the loan – the interest fee on an ARM could increase or decline periodically based on a monetary index. An index can be a guide that lenders use to measure apr changes. Common search engine spiders used by lenders are the activity of one, 3, and five-year Treasury securities, but there are many others.
Your ARM's product name identifies the frequency with which your interest rate changes. For instance, a new 7/1 ARM is an adjustable rate mortgage in which you have the same original rate and repayment for 7 years. Over the eighth year whenever every year thereafter, your interest rate can adjust either up or down, depending on market developments at the time.
Similarly, with a 1/1 Provide, your interest rate stays a similar for one year, and adjusts once a year utilizing market trends. Which has a 3/3 ARM, your interest rate remains the same for 36 months, and then adjusts every 3 years with current market trends (source).
Simply get, the first number within an ARM product subject is the number of years your interest rate will remain the same, as well as second number is the frequency of interest price adjustments after the first period.
Interest Only
Interest only personal loans provide you with the option of simply paying interest for the specified term, which can be usually either A couple years. During this time, your current principal balance will not change. At the end of the preferred period, new, larger payments include each principal and fascination.
Balloon Loans
Balloon mortgages are short-term house loans that follow an amount schedule like a long-term home finance loan. Balloon terms tend to be 3, 5, or simply 7 years. During the mechanism term, you will pay both equally principle and desire on your loan. Right after the term, you must pay the balance of your bank loan in one lump sum. It's usually accomplished through refinancing or converting your balloon loan in a long-term fixed rate loan.
There might be other loan kinds that are specific towards your lender. However, these are the basic types of loans you will discover.
Pros and cons of any 30-year fixed mortgage
A 30-year fixed bank loan is a popular choice for a lot of home buyers for several causes. Perhaps the most obvious a look at a 30-year fixed rate is payment stability. Because principal and attention payment remains the exact same for the entire thirty year time period, budgeting is easy. Together with spreading your payments out over 30 years means that you pay less on a monthly basis than you would having loans with a short term (like 15- or 20-year conditions), which is why 85 percent associated with borrowers choose 30-year set rate mortgages (source).
Assess Best Home Loans Here
However, there are some downsides to a good 30-year fixed rate.
- You will end up spending substantially more inside interest over the course of your loan.
- There is always the chance which will interest rates, in general, will certainly drop significantly throughout any 30 year interval. To take advantage of reduce interest rates, you would need to re-finance your home, which involves the extra effort of applying for a loan again plus the additional costs everyone incur every time you have a mortgage, such as settlement costs.
- Another potential problem with selecting a 30-year fixed rate is when you choose not to live in your household for that long. With the way your loan amortization operates, your monthly payment is going mostly to awareness for the first many years of a 30-year term. Thus, if you plan on moving in the subsequent 10 years or so, a new 30-year term loan will not be the smartest choice.
Pros plus cons of a 15-year mounted mortgage
The advantage of a 15-year mounted mortgage is the repayment stability it offers you. Because your payment won't change for the entire 25 years, you can budget keeping that in mind with confidence. A 15-year fixed rate mortgage allows you to build equity in your home speedier than you will that has a 30-year mortgage. Building money is a good thing. Experiencing equity in your home will provide you with more refinancing options. Building equity at the same time enables you to obtain a your home equity line of credit as required in the future. In addition, you're going to be paying much less within interest over the course of a new 15-year term than you would probably with a 30-year term.
However, there are some drawbacks to a 15-year predetermined mortgage.
- The monthly payments may very well be significantly higher than that has a 30-year loan option. For example, a $200,000 property finance loan at 3.25 percent for a 15-year term costs $1405.34 each month. In contrast, stretching that name out to 30 years usually means you would only pay $870.Forty-one each month. If your problem is with keeping your obligations down on a monthly groundwork, a 15-year term isn't the best choice for you.
- Locking a rate in for 15 years might mean that you will need to refinance loan later if rates of interest drop considerably, which costs money and usually takes effort.
ARMs vs. Fixed interest rate Loans
ARMs typically have a lower initial interest rate than set rate mortgages. This means that you will be able to afford a much more expensive home having an ARM than you'll with a fixed rate loan product. An advantage is that loan rates may drop. By having an ARM, you do not have to be able to refinance to take benefit for lower interest rates, likely saving you thousands of dollars.
Also, if you intend to sell your home from a specified amount of time, a leg may make sense. By way of example, suppose you plan selling your home in the next incomes. Choosing a 5/1 ARM would mean that you lock in your own low initial apr for the five years you've planned to own your home. If you sell your home before the a few years is up, you can leverage the initial low rate without ever coughing up a higher rate at all.
Even should you don't plan to offer your home any time soon, an ARM may be a good option for the way low the initial minute rates are in comparison to a fixed pace loan.
When an Interest Merely Loan makes sense
With a new only loan, you have the option of only paying out interest for a given time period, or you can want to pay both key and interest in your discretion. The advantage to the current is that, for the first specified time period, your instalments are quite low. This might make it possible for you to invest in a more expensive home compared to you could otherwise manage.
Interest only loans sound right if you anticipate developing a lot more income later on than you currently have. For example, young professionals who are currently paying off student loan credit card debt but anticipate much bigger future earnings may find it useful to have an interest simply loan. Why? Given that once the student loan will be paid and the young expert is bringing home a higher price, a larger mortgage payment seriously isn't typically a trouble.
Investors also often choose attraction only loans, planning on using the money they conserve with an interest only mortgage for investments. If the investments pay off, after that an interest only financial loan might make sense.
If you don't anticipate generating money in the future, a pursuit only loan is probably not the best option for you. It'ersus wise to take into account the simple fact that, at the end of the specified interest-only transaction period, you will be liable for paying both major and interest for the duration of the loan term as well as monthly payment will be significantly higher than the initial check.
The Risks of Balloon Loans
Balloon mortgages often provide a lower interest rate than many other loan types. Even so, there are some risks of go up loans you need to know.
Balloon loans are a good notion if:
- You know you can sell your home prior to large lump sum payment arrives.
- You are certain that you will be capable to refinance your property finance loan for a more favorable level before the lump sum payment arrives.
But, here's the risk. You are unable to always depend on having the capacity to sell your home before that big transaction is due. And if you need to refinance your home when the large payment is born, there is no guarantee that you will find a good rate and also good terms for a refinance.
If that happens, you will be stuck with a higher desire on a refinanced loan and greater payments too. That could be bad news.
How to Choose the Perfect Loan for Your Situation
As you can view, there are a number of factors to bear in mind when choosing a mortgage mortgage loan. You must think about your overall financial situation, your potential future earning potential, plus your long-range goals pertaining to buying.
A good mortgage company will help you sift through the different financial loan options available to you. A person's mortgage lender will stay and talk with people about your financial situation. The person will ask questions like how long you intend to have a home in the home you're obtaining, what kind of down payment within your budget to make, and what monthly instalment amount you can afford within your budget.
Then, your mortgage lender professional will explain your loan options clearly to help you make a wise decision for your loan. If you are wanting to start your search for the best loan today, you'll find the best mortgage firms here.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A Walmart employee is recovering after being bitten by a rabid bat in New Mexico.
Now, health officials want to make sure no one else was exposed.
The New Mexico Department of Health says a woman was riding her motorized wheelchair into Walmart on Tuesday.
Authorities say a bat was hanging from the basket as she drove through the aisles of the store.
Walmart officials say workers noticed the bat as she was buying her items at the counter.
"It was another person there who thought they were good at handling bats and picked it up, took it outside and unfortunately, was bit when they did that," said Dr. Paul Ettestad, state public health veterinarian.
According to KRQE, the bat tested positive for rabies.
Now, the employee is getting a series of vaccinations.
"If she didn't get the shots and it went on to become rabies, it's almost 100 percent fatal," Dr. Ettestad said.

First things first, what exactly is a Swami?
Technically speaking "Swami" is a historical word derived from the ancient Hindu language, Sanskrit, meaning religious teacher or mystic. Less technically speaking, it is someone who is their own master.
So what is SwamiCity iPhone App?
SwamiCity iPhone app is an easy-to-use app that allows you to be your own master wherever you travel. It has all the information you need to put a city in the palm of your hands-- even if you've never been there before.
It's a single city-savvy app that maintains a traveler's perspective every step of the way. Start with your travel details. SwamiCity iPhone app allows you to check your flight details, check the weather, or find a list of free things to do, so you can do some planning before you get there. You get Yelp reviews, Google street views, Twitter, GPS, links to Wikipedia, and more-- all in one place.
So why not just use all of those apps?
To answer a Q with a Q, why hassle with switching in and out of apps when you don't need to? With SwamiCity iPhone App, there's no need to switch in and out of apps. It's all right in one place, giving you the power of more than 25 apps in one.
Ok, so I'm in a new city. What if I can't decide what to do?
Ask Swami. He gets to know you from the things and places you've searched for and saved to your Favorites list. When you're in doubt, you can even ask the cool, all-knowing SwamiCity to decide for you. Hey. Swami knows.
What's the difference between asking someone on the street or SwamiCity iPhone app?
Swami knows you. Whether you're visiting for pleasure or business, SwamiCity iPhone app will help you find and navigate the city's treasures—and then save your favorites. Your favorite restaurants, stores, entertainment events—directions, details and more are all conveniently and attractively packaged in this one user friendly super-app.
What cities have a SwamiCity iPhone app?
We started with three (New York, Chicago and San Francisco), but soon SwamiCity will be worldwide, with 8 to 10 new cities added each month. In the first half of 2010, you can expect to see a SwamiCity iPhone app for Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Boston, Washington D.C., Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Seattle, Miami, Hawaii, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Portland. We won't stop until every major city in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia has a SwamiCity iphone app. (Sinister laugh, jk.)
Are new Channels and upgrades planned for this iPhone app?
Definitely. SwamiCity sites will always be improving with upgrades to existing channels and new channels. In the planning-pipeline are new channels for Food, Fashion, What's Happening, TripLog, and TVLocalNews. Upgrades will be made regularly to improve the content and functionality of existing channels.
Who is that Swami behind the curtain? In other words, who inputs the app?
Actually, we get a lot of help from SwamiCity iPhone app users. We ask you to keep your fingers pm the pulse of your community. That means "TELL SWAMI NOW" if a new restaurant, boutique, wine bar, or cheese shop opens in your town, or a town you're visiting. Put on your Swami hat, and write a review. You'll make that city a better place to visit.
What if I live in a SwamiCity?
All the better. You probably won't use the airline or hotel info often, but you'll be sure to avoid getting into ruts. Like Thai food but always go to the same place? Ask Swami to point you to somewhere new. Wonder who's playing at your favorite night club? Swami knows. Want to tell the world about the best chicken salad sandwich you've ever tasted? *TELL SWAMI NOW* and the world will be forever grateful. As we said earlier, we get a lot of help from our SwamiCity friends.
Swami Sayssss...
When using Google directions and Google street views, making an auto-dial phone call, or viewing the results from the NearMe channel; you are leaving the app! Remain calm. You can easily return to SwamiCity by simply tapping on the round indentation at the bottom of the front iPhone you use to access your apps. Then tap on the SwamiCity app to return. It only takes a few seconds—but we missed you.
