At Vila Vicencia hotel, Funchal
An unplanned trip
Our trip to Funchal, Madeira wasn't planned, and it came about through the circuitous route of a cancelled 3 week holiday in Japan, but that's another and much less exciting story. Booking last minute, we opted for a one week Thomson (TUI) package, with flights and hotel included, which is very unlike us. But we needed a holiday, had to book it fast and it had to be somewhere hot, not too expensive and interesting; Madeira fit the bill perfectly.
The Thomson flight landed on a Friday evening, the plane bouncing once on the runway which juts out into the sea, raised up on its enormous stilts. The balmy English weather we had over Easter was much the same as Funchal's, a hot sun with a cool wind. Madeira's peaks rose up and were topped with thick cloud.
Vila Vicencia hotel
A brief coach transfer took us to our hotel, Vila Vicencia. Through tunnels, over concrete bridges and deep valleys and into Funchal, with its whitewashed houses and terracotta rooftops. Hotel tower blocks stood tall in the distance, as the buildings dotted themselves over the hilltops, petering out as the roads continued upwards and inland.
We stayed, rather unsurprisingly, in the hotel zone, but Vila Vicencia was very different to its surroundings. A set of three converted houses, it's a hidden gem amongst the monsters. Surrounded by tightly packed luscious gardens and with a quaint, timely and sun bleached decor, it ekes out its own slice of personality amongst the faceless. It's certainly not five or even four star, but it's small enough to know the other guests and to make friends.
The room was for three, and we enjoyed the extra space of a living room and balcony. Wooden wardrobes and creaky beds contrasted the flat screen TV. We brought our own tea, we knew we would have a kettle, and a fridge for the milk.
Chalet Vicente restaurant
Acquainted and unpacked we headed into Funchal for our first night, albeit a little chillier than expected. We passed the famous Reids hotel and the kitschy Casino. The restaurants were all very similar, clearly geared towards tourism, many had resorted to our most hated of things; restaurant touts, not to mention menus with poorly photographed pictures of meals. Very unsure of ourselves, and starving, we stopped at the first place with a bit of character and a menu that detailed dishes; Chalet Vicente.
Unaware that portions here were gargantuan, we ordered mains and starters and ploughed into a garlic bread that could have served four. One of Madeira's many specialties is Skabbard (Espada), a deep sea fish caught in only a few places worldwide, it is served with locally grown banana and passion fruit. The sweet fishy combination is particularly tasty. And every meal seems to come with potatoes and boiled vegetables, whether its appropriate or not.
Finishing up our bottle of house red, we were stuffed and intoxicated, and we stumbled home to our nearby hotel with its firm but comfortable beds.

Apparently, "horrification" depends on who is doing the assaulting.
Let's loop back to the N.Y. Times coverage of the 3rd Presidential debate …
In a remarkable statement that seemed to cast doubt on American democracy, Donald J. Trump said that he might not accept the results of next month's election if he felt it was rigged against him.
Hillary Clinton blasted that stand as "horrifying" at their final and caustic debate.
The horror became a cause celebre among Dems and the MSM.
Now, let's fast forward …
The details according to the WaPo:
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has been quietly exploring whether there was any "outside interference" in the election results and will participate in the election recount in Wisconsin initiated by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.
And if Stein makes good on efforts to prompt similar processes in Pennsylvania and Michigan the Clinton campaign said it would do so there, as well.
Trump's response:
The people have spoken and the election is over.
Hillary Clinton herself said on election night, in addition to her conceding by congratulating me, 'We must accept this result and then look to the future.'
P.S. We scoured both the Washington Post and N.Y. Times articles on Clinton's apparent refusal to accept the certified election results.
Looking for the word "horrifying" and the phrase "American Democracy" in combination with the phrases "cast doubt on" or "attack on", we got a "no results" message.

I dug right into my new June kit, So Cal, from SC. I've been dying to get into all that scrappy goodness since it arrived in the mail almost two weeks ago.
Here's my take on this week's Sunday Sketch...
I used a black & white photo of my son that I've had sitting around for awhile. And since my printer is out of ink, it worked out well today :)
I'm in love with the light brown chevron paper I used for the background :) I must stock up on it! I used an old brown paper bag scrap for the bottom strip and wound that adorable twine around a chipboard banner from the kit. I cut out the "you" using my Cameo, added a few drops of Mr. Huey's Calico White, and voila!
Lots going on this weekend...as usual :) Hope you have a good one! TFL!

India: Judicial transparency and accountability the nation has a right to know
Asian Human Rights Commission *
Supreme Court : Highest seat of justice in India :: Pix - TSE
A Statement by the Asian Human Rights Commission on January 22, 2018
The press conference held by Justices Jasti Chelameswar, Ranjan Gogoi, Madan Lokur and Kurian Joseph on 12 January 2018 is a watershed event in Indian judicial history. Four of the five most senior judges of the Supreme Court of India, appealed to the conscience of the nation, to intervene, failing which the judges cautioned that " democracy can't be protected in this country."
Since then, jurists, politicians, former and siting judges have commented in favour of and against the judges speaking to the media. However, all assert that no effort should be spared so that the 'confidence of the public' in the judiciary is restored. The Indian judiciary is not free from controversies. Most of this is due to the suspicious conduct of judges, of all ranks, particularly concerning questions of transparency in court proceedings and allegations of corruption. Today it is public knowledge.
The incumbent chief justice too is facing his share of such accusations. The hurried manner in which the chief justice formed a constitutional bench, and then dismissed with heavy costs, two petitions that sought the court's intervention to investigate a corruption case, in which a former high court judge from Orissa is already in detention, is an example. These two petitions were earlier heard by a two-judge bench led by Chelameswar, who referred the case to a five-judge constitutional bench to decide the matter.
The chief justice quashed the order issued by Chelameswar, held that he cannot be 'ordered' to form a constitutional bench, as he is the master of the roster, and formed a bench with judges of his choice and dismissed the petitions.
The problem in doing this was the allegations by Prashant Bhushan, the advocate for one of the petitioners, the Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms(CJAR), that strongly suggested that the chief justice himself could be one of the accused in the corruption accusations made. The statements made by the four judges in the press conference should be viewed also in this context.
There are other instances from the recent past where the chief justice intervened to form benches of his choice, wherein none of the four judges who called for the press conference, who are known for their integrity and professional expertise, were asked to join. It is in this context that the statement made by the four judges that " there have been instances where cases having far-reaching consequences for the nation and the institution had been assigned by the chief justice of this court selectively to the benches 'of their preference' without any rationale " must be examined.
By holding the press conference, and appealing to the conscience of the nation, four of the five senior-most judges in India have called for the attention of the country to ensure transparency in procedures and accountability of the judiciary. At the moment, there are no independent mechanisms to ensure this.
A solution to the issue is not easy to formulate. There is an increasing demand in India, mostly fuelled by the political parties, to setup new procedures to decide on appointments, transfer, promotion, and disciplinary actions against judges.
The problem with this demand is that, in the procedures so far suggested, political parties is pitched to play the key role. Given that the judiciary being the only instrument with which corrupt politicians are to a certain degree made accountable in India, a process wherein the politicians play a key role regarding the fate of the country's judiciary will be the last day of an independent judiciary in India.
The roles of the judiciary and the legislature though equally important in a democracy, are widely different. That is precisely the reason why the selection process of judges and legislators are different in India. The maturity of democratic institutions and their political and procedural history also plays a significant role in this.
Accountability and transparency within an institution, is also a culture that has to be aggressively promoted and painstakingly ensured. With respect to the judiciary, this is an excruciatingly challenging task, particularly in countries where independent procedures do not exist, and in places like India, where every other state institution, other than the judiciary, is widely perceived to be deeply corrupt.
That said, an alarmingly high number of former senior judges in India, including many former chief justices are accused of nepotism and corruption. The fact that none of these accusations have ever faced an independent investigation, has left these judicial officers not being able to clear their name from the controversies, or punished if they were guilty. Over time, this has led to a highly diminished public image about the country's judiciary.
In addition to the diminished perception that the common person has of the Indian judiciary, there are issues of enormous delays in the country's justice process while at the same time the fast pace with which the judiciary has often intervened in matters not necessarily important to the public cause, sticks out. The fast pace and intense interest with which the Supreme Court intervened in the case relating to the administration of the Board of Cricket Control, while thousands of other cases of the ordinary people but of national importance are yet to be decided, is an example among many. One cannot therefore find fault with the ordinary person should there be an allegation that the Indian judiciary functions in one manner concerning the rich and influential and in a completely opposite manner for the rest.
The issue that the four most senior judges in India have raised before the nation is important. Through the unprecedented act of holding the press conference, and by appealing to the nation, they have chosen to follow Judge Jerome Frank's advice in his book Courts on Trial: Myth and Reality in American Justice.
Judge Frank had said: "It is wholly undemocratic to treat public as children, who are unable to accept the inescapable shortcomings of man-made institutions. The public I think can "take it". Our people need not be coddled, and should not be deluded. It is the essence of democracy that citizens are entitled to know what all their public servants, judges included, are doing, and how well they are doing it. The best way to bring about the elimination of those shortcomings of our judicial system that are capable of being eliminated is to have all our citizens informed as to how that system now functions. It is a mistake therefore to try to establish and maintain, through ignorance, public esteem for our courts."
Ensuring accountability and transparency to the judicial process is not an easy task. This must not be left exclusively for the judges of the Supreme Court to decide, as the chief justice is now trying to do, literally over closed-door sessions of tea or lunch. This issue is of national importance. The nation has a right to know whether the concerns expressed by the four senior judges are true and how they would be answered. Failing to do so is the ultimate threat to India's democracy.

Keep on coming with the combos always appreciated. I do also mind suggestions for music in this though one things for sure is if it is copyrighted make sure it's not from sony music entertainment (SME) because they seem to be the ones who want to block world wide this time. I can tempt my fare with warner and universal music group, they seem to be lax on the blocking front.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Miguel Cotto fight official on May 5
Fans and avid boxing aficionados are all following the next fight of undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. against the pound for pound king Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao on the go for the another time. However, the negotiations seems off again at the beginning of February 2012 where Mayweather released a tweet message that he is scheduled to face the Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto on May 5. The Mayweather vs Cotto is officially on scheduled to takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, NV.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. appealed to the court to allow him to fight on May 5 and let the 90 day sentence begin on June 1 due to his domestic violence case. The court obviously allowed him due to his commitment to the promoter in Las Vegas for this fight that will surely bring folds of money to the economy of the place. On the other hand, Miguel Cotto comes from a very great fight to the man who gave his first lost Antonio Margarito.
What do you think fight fans for this coming match-up presented by Golden Boy Promotions?
Oh by the way, Pacquiao will be defending his belt against unbeaten Timothy Bradley on June 9. The rumble is on! Mark your calendar and order your Mayweather vs Cotto tickets available for sale through online stores. Enjoy 😉

- This is the artwork on display at the Ramada Hurrada in San Jose, Costa Rica by a very talented artist Francisco Muado. How clever to take the famous masters and make them fun and definitely Costa Rican. Come back for more art updates.
As with all great notions it started with a daydream; move to Alaska and settle down in a cozy cabin, next to a lake, with my beloved other, my dogs and family. Paint and make ART to my hearts content. It's been a long road, today I am fortunate to have realized that dream. My blog is mostly about ART and sometimes everything else.

The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Tours
Parma is one of the cities in Italy with the best standard of living - and the highest levels of cuisine. Parma is surrounded by verdant green hills, themselves dotted with castles, and the River Parma runs across the city. The Parma region produces two of the most celebrated food products in the world - tasty Parmesan cheese and 'sweet' Parma ham, as well as culatello and Felino salami.
A rich city, the capital of Italy's food industry, Parma is also an important artistic and cultural centre. The city, capital of the Duchy of Parma for centuries, features a series of splendid artworks and buildings, including the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Monastery of San Giovanni Evangelista, the Pilotta Palace, the 17th-century Teatro Farnese and the famous Regio Theatre.
Parma's past and present
Verdi, the most admired and loved of all Italian composers, was born in nearby Busseto, and many of his operas are performed in the city's magnificent opera house. Parma's history goes as far back as Etruscan times, and it probably began its existence as an Etruscan encampment. It owes its Roman phase to Consul Marcus Emilius Lepidus, who established it as a Roman colony on the Via Emilia in 183 BC.
Parma gained in importance and wealth through the Middle Ages, coming under the rule of the Viscontis, the Sforzas, the French and the Popes until it was made a duchy in 1545 and came under the jurisdiction of Pier Luigi Farnese, illegitimate son of Pope Paul III. The Farnese family kept control of Parma until the last scion of the dynasty died in 1731. The Burbons then had control over Parma before the city was given to Marie Louise, daughter of Emperor Francis I of Austria and second wife of Napoleon. After her death in 1873, it went back to the Burbons until the people elected to join the kingdom of Italy. All its rulers have left their marks on this multi-faceted city. Today, Parma offers a veritable feast - in terms of art, architecture, culture, haute couture and gastronomy.

Puzzle of four bodies discovered in Dundori Forest
Tuesday June 26 2018
Detectives in Nakuru are piecing together information that could help unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of four men whose bodies were found in Dundori Forest.
Police reports say the bodies were discovered on June 17 in a thicket in the expansive forest between Nakuru and Nyandarua counties.
The bodies were discovered by police officers from the nearby Mirangine Police Station, who were tracking stolen cattle.
The officers stumbled upon the bodies in the thick forest, which has become a hideout for criminals. Bodies suspected to have been transported from other places are also often dumped in the forest.
Police said the victims' hands were tied at the back with ropes while their heads were covered with polythene bags.
"I suspected that all was not well after I spotted them lying in the thicket. I immediately alerted my colleagues," said one of the police officers who retrieved the bodies.
Notably, the bodies, which were smartly dressed, had no bruises or gunshot wounds.
Preliminary investigations showed that the four, believed to be aged between 30 and 50, could have been suffocated.
Police are trying to find out whether the victims were killed there or dumped there after being killed elsewhere.
Speaking to the Nation, Nakuru North Officer Commanding Police Division(OCPD) Edward Wafula said no identification papers were found on the victims, and that detectives are trying to trace their relatives.
"We could not identify the deceased since none of them had identification documents while the surrounding community says they do not recognise them. We have taken their fingerprints for forensic analysis to try and get their identities," said Mr Wafula.
"Once we get the fingerprint results, we will be able to circulate the information regarding the missing persons so that their relatives can find them," he added.
The bodies have been at the Nakuru County Mortuary.
Mr Wafula said they suspect that the four were murdered elsewhere and dumped in the forest since no local resident has made a report of a missing person.
He confirmed they have intensified patrols in the area to avoid any such incidents. The local residents have also called for increased patrols to boost security.

Acer's versatile Chromebook R 13 is one good device to run Android apps because it can function as a laptop or tablet.
The 2-in-1 has a rotating 13-inch full HD screen that gives it dual functionality. The touchscreen gives it a mobile-like interface to run Android apps.
The device has Chrome OS, but Google is making it possible to run Android apps from Google Play store on newer Chromebooks. Acer will add Android app support to the new Chromebook, the company said.
Android app support adds to the versatility of Chromebooks, which are popular as cheap and low-cost laptops. The shipments of 2-in-1s are growing, and Chrome OS is better suited for those devices than Android.

So, as you read this blog you will realize that I have a love-hate relationship with New York. Here is a reason why I hate NY.
SNOW! Who the hell really wants to deal with this shit? Seriously! It is nice to look at from the window, but if you have to walk, drive, or fall in it, then it is no fun at all. We had our 1st big snow of the year yesterday, and I am obviously not thrilled. I went to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday for my daughter's belated birthday gift. That was my "lil hunny's" 1st trip to Chuck E. Cheese, and she had a ball (She is 15 months old). She is the youngest and the birthday girl turned 3. I was so happy I made it home before it really really became a problem. I did feel the car slide twice though and I just wanted to go straight home, no stopping at go.
So, today I need to go outside to see the damage. I haven't had to dig my car out of a parking spot in about 5 years (when I moved to Georgia) and I am not looking forward to it. I have no snow accessories or anything. I don't have the lil thingy that you use to scrap snow off of the car or anything else. I don't even remember what I am supposed to do. I guess I will just bring a broom with me and try to handle it the best way I can. Oh, and my car is around the corner, why you ask? Because this is NY and a parking spot right in front of where you live is unheard of…That is a whole 'nother post though.

Fraaigelegen Wedding
Elzanne & Edward
It was a perfect spring day for Elzanne and Edward's Fraaigelegen wedding. Fraaigelegen wedding venue is just outside Paarl. We've never worked at this rustic wedding venue before. I must say there's a lot there in terms of interesting backdrops to get a photographer excited about the couple shoot!
Elzanne & Edward could not be more suited to each other. Like two peas in a pod, and their friends and family seem to get along like a house on fire too! We only got to meet Elzanne & Edward on the day of their wedding. Edward is a laugh a minute, and Elzanne kind and full of fun too! They are both no frills kinds of people, down to earth and they certainly know how to call a spade a spade!
The boys got ready at De Hollandsche Molen. Boys will be boys, so of course there were a few beers to be had. They were a real hoot. The girls got dressed at one of the rooms at the venue. Pink champagne and giggles were the order of the day!
The ceremony was held out on the lawn in the garden. While guests enjoyed canapes and drinks we went off on the couple shoot.
I must say, this venue certainly knows how to make divine garlic pizzas. The sweetest little waiter was doing his rounds dishing them out! The guests all thought he was a rock star! We also loved the quirky bar set up in an old dam.
We had plenty of time for the couple shoot, so it made for a nice relaxed stroll around the farm.
Elzanne and Edward, thank you so much for trusting us with your precious memories. We wish you many more years of fun and laughter together!
Elzanne would like to say a special thank you to the following people:
Bridesmaids for the support and all the extra effort:

Bankruptcy Records/Bankruptcy Information
The basic definition of bankruptcy is that a person or business may file for bankruptcy when its income is not adequate to service its debts and its creditors will not continue to defer payments any longer.
This is essentially like surrendering to an enemy and asking them to not throw you in a POW camp. Therefore, it is like getting a second chance without paying the ultimate price. Most likely anyone who files for bankruptcy will have a more cautious attitude next time they take on a challenge.
Unfortunately bankruptcy, while protecting you from jail and severe financially punishment, also creates a permanent black mark on your record. A bankruptcy record acts as a red flag to future investors, saying that you have made mistakes in the past and failed to make your finances work.
However, most investors have a good idea just what bankruptcy is. They deal with people everyday who have gone bankrupt. Going bankrupt is a sign that you failed, but it is also a sign that you have an entrepreneurial spirit. Something that investors are looking for anyway.
Also, most people fail several times before they find a business that can work. Investors will know that you have at least one of these failures under your belt already. This should make them confident that you are a person who has learned from their mistakes.
This is the hope anyway. Your bankruptcy record has all of your bankruptcy details on it. So future investors can see just where you went wrong. If you gave it your best, and sometimes just didn't work out, they will see that. However, your bankruptcy record will also tell them if you are reckless.
One of the major problems with bankruptcy records is that they are made public to all (for obvious reasons). This means that a very large amount of your personal financial information can be accessed by just about anyone. This could leave you vulnerable to identity theft and fraud.
For many people, this is the worst part of bankruptcy. They will never be able to hide the fact that they went bankrupt, and they will feel stigmatized for their whole lives. However, they should take heart in the fact that they did try to do something extraordinary and they have the guts to pay back the folks they owe.

It shoots High Explosion (HE) grenades which are capable of dealing so much damage that one-shot kills are not uncommon with this weapon. It is a very slow weapon in every aspect though: with its grenades travelling at a very low velocity and a long reload time, this weapon won't do much good in close-quarter fighting. You can carry a maximum of 25 grenades.

Hello again!!
Long time no see guys! Or in this case, long time no hear! We're well and truly into 2018 now, and I think it's time to look at the releases coming this year.
Children of Blood and Bone – Tomi Adeyemi
I'd never even heard of Children of Blood and Bone before just now, but from reading the blurb it sounds pretty awesome. It's the first installation in a new series (Legacy of Orïsha), and sounds a bit Throne of Glass-ish… but then again, that's just from the blurb. I shall have to find this book somewhere and read it. (Also, the cover's pretty awesome)
Defy the Worlds – Claudia Gray
Yayyyyy, this book is finally out. After waiting just about a year to hear from Noemi and Abel, they're back! I'm not entirely sure what to expect in this book, but I've heard lots of good reviews, and apparently there's lots of action 🙂 . Anyone looking for a fast-paced story with robots and space travel, this is your series.
Batman: Nightwalker – Marie Lu
I believe Batman: Nightwalker is the second of the DC icons series, after Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman. I never actually got around to finishing WW, so maybe I'll have to put it on my list so I can read this one.
Kingdom of Ash – Sarah J. Maas (October 23)
Now this book should need no introduction. Finally the end is in sight. Right from the first moment I saw Throne of Glass sitting on a shelf in Dymocks, I have been slightly obsessed with this series. And now, seven books later, the last one is here!! Sadly, no cover picture yet, but I'm hoping it will be released soon, because this series has the best covers. Who else is excited??
War Storm – Victoria Aveyard (15th May)
This one's the 4th book in the Red Queen series, and while I read the first two books, I didn't really like them very much. But that doesn't mean I can't include it in my list, so any fans of Red Queen? Wait until 15th of May, and you'll have your 4th book.
Queen of Air and Darkness – Cassandra Clare (December 4)
And yes it's ANOTHER Cassandra Clare book everyone. She's gone from The Mortal Instruments, to The Infernal devices (prequel), and now The Dark Artifices (Sequel). It's starting to look like Star Wars here. But anyway I really really like some of her books, and from what I've read of the Dark Artifices, I'm excited for this one. (also just LOOK at that cover)
Catwoman: Soulstealer – Sarah J. Maas (August 7)
Anything written by Maas should be pretty amazing, so this 3rd book in the DC icons might be one to add to your TBR pile. From Wonder Woman, to Batman, we now have Catwoman: Soulstealer… sounds interesting.
A Court of Frost and Starlight – Sarah J. Maas (May 1)
If you've been keeping up with popular YA books, you would have heard of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. I was looking forward to this one, thinking it was going to be book no. 4, and it was a little disappointing to hear that this is an 'inbetweener', and will only be no. 3.1. I shouldn't complain though. If anybody is looking for a fantasy/fae series, and hasn't read ACOTAR, I'd definitely recommend.
Legendary – Stephanie Garber (May 29)
Legendary is the sequel to Garber's first book Caraval, which was a very cool story with a magical setting in an awesome carnival, and I really really enjoyed reading it. The only thing I didn't really like was how confusing it was. The character's roles and positions in the storyline seemed to change all the time and by the end I was very confused. But, in saying that, I am still looking forward to Legendary quite a bit.
Two Dark Reigns – Kendare Blake (September 4)
This book is the 3rd instalment in the Three Dark Crowns series, which I recently started. My school library had the first book, and while it took me a while to read, it was actually really good. Interesting, but good. All the different names and characters and families were hard to keep track of in the first one, but I learnt them by the end, so I'm looking forward to book 2 and 3 now.
Inferno – Julie Kagawa (April 24)
Here's another final book in the series – It feels like Julie Kagawa has been writing the Talon series for almost forever, but no, the end is in sight. April 24 will be the final showdown for Ember, Garret, Riley, and Dante
Muse of Nightmares – Laini Taylor (October 2)
Aaaaand, yet another next-book-in-the-series that I've been desperately waiting for. Unfortunately, we still have to wait until October for this one, but oh it'll be worth it. I absolutely loved Strange the Dreamer, and absolutely can't wait for this book to come out. I'm sure a lot of other people are with me on that one.
And there we go! My list is complete! I'm sure there are many, many others that I'm forgetting, but these are the big ones that I know of (so the young adult, fiction, fantasy, contemporary novels). If one of your favourite authors has a book release this year, tell me about it in the comments 🙂

Chlorinated Tap Water Linked to Food Allergy Epidemic
A new study has linked chlorine exposure to both food and environmental allergies.
Chlorine is used globally to purify water supply as the ultimate defense against waterborne microbiological infection. But the common practice of adding chlorine chemicals to tap water for public safety reasons may not be as safe as we have all been told.
Researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York have discovered that the use of chlorine in water is associated with a rising number of people with food allergies.
They found that adults with high levels of dichlorophenol, a chemical by-product of chlorine, were as much as 80 percent more likely to also suffer from some type of intolerance to certain foods.
Lead study author Dr Elina Jerschow, an assistant professor of allergy and immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, said the research "shows that high levels of dichlorophenol-containing pesticides can possibly weaken food tolerance in some people, causing food allergy."
She has also added that past studies "have shown that both food allergies and environmental pollution are increasing in the United States" and the "results of our study suggest these two trends might be linked, and that increased use of pesticides and other chemicals is associated with a higher prevalence of food allergies."
As for chlorinated tap water, Jerschow explained that transferring to bottled water as a way to reduce the risk of developing a food allergy may not prove successful. "Other dichlorophenol sources, such as pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables, may play a greater role in causing food allergy," she added.
Jerschow's study looked at 10,348 participants in a US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2005-2006. While the findings are surprising, Jerschow said further work is needed to "confirm" the association between dichlorophenol and allergy.

DENVER — Allen Iverson took plenty of shots at his former team before, during and after the game. It didn't add up to a victory, though.
Kyle Korver scored 26 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 108-97 Tuesday in Iverson's first game against his former team.
"It was weird to see him wearing a white jersey and we're wearing black," Korver said. "I said to one of our coaches that it is so weird to see him on the other side. It wasn't really a good feeling at all. He's a great player, and he meant a lot to Philadelphia."
Iverson scored 30 points on 10-of-24 shooting before he was ejected for his second technical with 1:44 remaining. He said the loss disappointed him because he feels Denver is the better team.
Iverson's best shots, however, came before the tipoff when he again ripped the team that traded him after 10 seasons, repeating his contention that he should have had more say in the Sixers' style.Continue reading the main story
"When you're losing basketball games, 12 of 14, 18 of 20 basketball games, you should listen to somebody because something obviously isn't working," he said.
After the game, Iverson took a verbal jab at official Steve Javie, who ejected him.
"I thought I got fouled on that play, and I said I thought that he was calling the game personal, and he threw me out," Iverson said. "His fuse is real short anyway, and I should have known that I couldn't say anything anyway. It's been something personal with me and him since I got in the league. This was just the perfect game for him to try and make me look bad."
Iverson didn't need much help in that regard. He was slow to get going, hitting just two of nine shots and committing three of his game-high seven turnovers in the first quarter.
"I thought he was a little excited with the turnovers early in the first half and then not being able to make shots, not only he but everybody," George Karl, the Nuggets coach, said. "That got Philadelphia their legs, their confidence."
Iverson did give the Sixers credit for their game plan.
"If anybody knows what I can do, they know," he said.'
The Sixers, who had lost 14 of 16 road games and 19 of their last 23 overall, scored 100 points for the first time in 16 games and improved to 4-4 since the trade that sent Joe Smith and Andre Miller to Philadelphia, along with two first-round draft picks, for Iverson.
Miller had 17 points and 10 assists against his former team, and Smith scored 12 points.
"This was all business," Smith said.
Ditto for Miller.
"I got a lump in my throat when the crowd reacted" with applause during introductions, Miller said. "Other than that, it was all business for me."
Iverson said he was still bitter with the way the Sixers coach, Maurice Cheeks, and owner, Billy King, had handled his complaints that led to his departure from Philadelphia.
"Honestly I hope it goes away, but every time we play the Sixers, I know it is going to come back," Iverson said.Continue reading the main story

If Newcastle fans have any doubt about how far we have fallen as a once top English club, then some of the words that Yohan Cabaye has uttered since his signing by PSG yesterday, should make things abundantly clear.
Yohan Cabaye – moved to win trophies
We are no longer a big club, and cannot even challenge for a Europa League place every season – how the mighty have fallen.
This is what Yohan said yesterday:
"I want to win trophies and this club gives me the opportunity to do so. I did not hesitate at all. I moved because I want to win titles."
"It is already great to play football, but everyone wants to win something. I am very, very happy to be here and I cannot wait to start with the club."
"I am at a major European club now. The manager has not given me any guarantees. I am looking forward to giving my all and I will fight for my place."
And since Yohan moved to win trophies, that puts the spotlight squarely on Newcastle United, who haven't won anything since 1969, and quite honestly, we don't look like we'll win anything anytime soon either, with our dismal record ion the local Cups over the last three years.
And even Sunderland are threatening to win something this season, even though they are struggling with relegation.
If Sunderland beat Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final, which is unlikely but possible, it will put to shame what's going on at our club at the moment. 🙁
We guess that five-year plan of Ashley's was not successful, and I'm not the only Newcastle fan who is just a little nervous about Saturday's game against the Black Cats, who beat Stoke 1-0 last night.
But we have to keep supporting the lads, even if the current regime isn't going to build us a top side anytime soon.

We have played well most of the season and people are still moaning about the way pardew has us playing. Support the team and stop being deluded about where we should be in the table.
Regarding next season we are going to have a massive problem with our striking options. Remy will go back to QPR, Cisse will probably be away, as will ameobi and Delong. So that leaves us with no strikers. Now will mike Ashely finance us at least three strikers, a centre back to replace colo, a midfielder to replace cabay if he isn't replaced in this window. And maybe a even a left winger which we are desperate for as well. Probably no, so just enjoy this season because only god knows what team we will be fielding next summer.
Lilongwe Geordie // Jan 30, 2014 at 8:07 AM
Why does everyone think Pardew may go to West Ham? He isn't exactly popular with their fans following his last spell, and there is the small matter of having to pay off Fat Sam (the 13th highest paid manager in the world) and then buy out Pardew's contract here….
A much more likely candidate is surely the unemployed Malky Mackay who was a fans favourite when he was a player there, plays the type of football that the fans want to see, and wouldn't cost a penny to approach.
So nothing new today. No bids made.
Looks like in this whole wide world there is only 1 god damn player who can replace cabaye.
And ofcourse after flogging jonas,cabaye and perhaps marveaux obertan and gosling later on, we still dont have room in our squad for 1 signing now and grenier and cabella in summer.
Sun reporting Lukaku is available for 20m
Get on it! Lol
He would be an amazing signing for 20m! M
Gutted Grenier isn't coming, they obviously are aware we are desperate and holding us to randsom as we did Carroll to Liverpool.
Gutted, he's a great player!
Wey looks like we are going to come up short this window and have no replacements!
Bit peeved
catchy in norway // Jan 30, 2014 at 8:11 AM
you can be a total prick sometimes
when have I ever said I want fat sam ???
and just because it suits your argument to say the club i,e mashley don't want top 4, does not mean the manager can not get the best out of what he has at his disposal ,
and listen, I do not like Ashley as much as you, and I do see the problem is with him, he hired pardew, im asking for pardew to use his squad right, or get someone who can
10 million to replace pardew or 300 million to replace Ashley, which is more easy ?
now good morning pri**
I'm pretty certain everyone wouldn't have sided with Catchy if he had said that!! I certainly wouldn't want Fat Sam and his one dimensional, and antiquated brand of football back here!!
Despite his direct style though, they are the only Prem side not to score headed goal yet this season in the league.
standby for kinnear excuse tomorrow. we save the cabaye money and use a small amount of the bumper tv money at the end of the season to buy a single player cabella or grenier and loan another striker next season.
great way to run a club. on the bare minimum. 20 million for cabaye straight into ashley pocket. wonderful.
Ho refreshing to hear Tim Sherwood praise city for the way they played, ie always looking for more goals rather than sit on a 1-0 and put 10 men behind the ball.
Would be interesting to see how Pardew would have city playing with his " containing " style. There again would Pardew realistically get in a top 500 prospective managers list for city
Cabaye took a very well aimed and to be admired swipe at Ashley by declaring his desire to win things, which is never going to happen at NUFC.
It amazes me how some people still fall for the familiar BS line about signing Grenier. Messrs Ashley, JFK and Pardew are so bent they couldn't walk in a straight line.
We need a playmaker…. Now!
Had to be before the Mackems aswell!
Just cannot see us winning this weekend …. Really I cannot.
Sunderland are flukey gets at the moment! I mean Southampton should have buried th, De Gea dropped the ball, Stoke harsh red!
Just unbelievable how spawny they are at the minute!

European Expansion
Page 1 of 1 • Share •
European Expansion
During the 16th century, Europe began to colonise after the search for India began. Their main focus was power, money and to spread Christianity. Even our island was colonised for it's cocoa and sugar. During the colonisation, the encomienda system was enforced. This basically meant that the conquistadores could force the natives to work for them. They made this happen by selling things to the natives that they couldn't afford but also couldn't resist and then using their debt to make them work. Due to independences, colonise are no longer controlled by nations and civilisations were introduced.

Re: European Expansion
Also, the reason why Spain was such a powerful nation was because they were controlling all their colonies trade routes. They would only allow their colonies trade good to go to Spain and no where else. Therefore, Spain got super wealthy. However, their colonies in Latin America with their Native slaves stopped because of the New Laws, but this didn't stop them. They used African slaves instead and killed so many of them, cruelly.

Re: European Expansion
I knowww! It is a so cruel from the Europeans being so harsh to the Native Americans. Did you know that Bartolome de las Casas was the one who was against it because it was decreasing their population and because he thought it was too mean. Then they signed a contract saying that they won't be doing that to the Native Americans anymore. Sadly, Bartolome de las Casas gave a new idea, that he then regretted, he said that they could start using Africans as new slave. It was horrible everything that occurred with the African slaves, I really wasn't fair to them either. I mean how cruel is that, not only they were forced to be slaves and do harsh work, they were separated from their families, and their religion and population intensely decrease. I find it just horrible and unfair, I really wish they hadn't done all this to Africa, because of them Africa is now poor. Eurpeans should be ashamed. Great topic cicelyy

Re: European Expansion
One of the Europeans countries that got really wealthy on the expansion was Spain. It had conquered the most part of the America and after having the triangular trade got really wealthy and powerful.

Discussion in 'Music Forum' started by murrich, Apr 19, 2016.
Pretty stoked to hear his new album, such a good sound from the songs he has released so far!
I wish I enjoyed his studio albums as much as I enjoyed his live show. Fantastic musician.
I haven't had the chance to see him live, but I know what you mean from watcing performances. I like his first album but I think his new one sounds better so far from the songs he's released off it.
I think if I had heard a recorded version of the songs first, I'd be much more of a fan. But I don't feel like any of the recordings have bottled the lightning he has when he plays live. I'd definitely pay to see him whenever I had the chance though
Love his debut album (think it was my most played of 2012) so I have high expectations for his new one.
I listed this as one of my most anticipated of the year and still can't wait to hear it. I love Home Again and am glad to see this is shaping up nicely.
Well, this is excellent.
This album is really great, surprised more people on here aren't talking about it
What style of music fam
His stuff is mostly a mix of soul and folk, although on the new album he's trying out some different sounds. Definitely start with his debut and then move onto the new one as both are really solid. I'd say his debut in particular is one of my favourite albums from the last 5 years
Sounds cool!
Knowing you're prominent on the Frank thread.. Home Again by Michael and Color Orange were my two favorite records of 2012. It's been a good year in 2016
Also, if you haven't noticed, my avatar is Michael's new record
"I'll Never Love" is probably the most straightforward song on the new album, but damnnn it's gorgeous
I finally got around to Love and Hate and holy fuck. One of the best of the year, I think.
It legit sound like it could have been a soundtrack to a blaxploitation movie in the 70s.
Love & Hate hasn't really held up for me sadly. It's very sluggish in places and it can make it difficult to listen to in full. I greatly prefer his debut over this, the songs were much stronger imo.

m4a to MP3
What's the best programme to use to convert m4a's to MP3's?
Something that keeps the meta data.
Any suggestions?
I tried.
Didn't work. Only wants to know about what application you want to use to open it with. Or..am I dense? This should be easier!
music converter is the program you want - free and simple to use.
change the default settiing for cd rips to mp3 instead of m4a, once that is set like that when you right click there should be a convert to mp3 option
I don't use iTunes.
Bu thanks for all the help. I'll give these suggestions a shot.
Er... well, to be honest, you're shooting yourself in the foot, then.
iTunes is the easiest way to convert m4a to mp3. If you really don't like iTunes, no one says you have to keep it after you're done converting.
It's so simple - once in iTunes, click on Edit, then Preferences, then in the first tab, click on the Import Settings button. Choose mp3 encoder from the drop down list, and Higher quality 192kbps (or higher in custom). Once this is set, you'll then be able to import your m4a files into iTunes, select them all and click convert to mp3, and voila, job is done.
don't do it
it'll sound like turd
Only if you don't know what you're doing.
It's not bloody rocket surgery.
iTunes, obv
Import prefs.

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that his administration would not be distracted from working for the overall development of the society.
A statement by Samuel Aruwan, the Special Assistant to the Governor on Media and Publicity on Monday said the governor was speaking when he met with chieftains of the APC.
According to him, government will continue to operate an open-door policy and maintain consultative leadership to take the state to greater heights.
The delegation was led by the Chairman of the state APC Caucus, Alhaji Ahmed Tijjani Ramalan, accompanied by the former Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Muazu Gangara.
Others were Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, former state Caretaker Chairman of the party and Alhaji Ahmed Yaro Coca-Cola, former state Chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC).
"I am happy to be with you, we will continue to advance the ideals of our party and will never be distracted from championing cogent development.
" We were elected by the citizens to work for them, to secure lives and properties, revive health, education, agriculture and the economy of our state as outlined in our campaign manifesto.
"We are on that path and by the grace of Almighty God, we will not derail.
"Our doors are wide-open to all citizens of Kaduna State, our party members and the opposition. Everyone should point to us what we are doing wrong so that we can make amends for the common good," the governor said.
According to him, there is no one that wants to see us that is denied, we will certainly meet and further this interaction.
"Many of you here know the challenges our state has to overcome, and the need to work, work and work for the people. We must strive to bring many benefits of change."
In their separate comments, the former Speaker, Gangara, and Dr. Baba-Ahmed thanked the governor for the invitation and promised to continue to work for the peace and development of the state.
I won't be distracted from working for the people -El-Rufai

Redd Inc.
Visit the homepage of 'Redd Inc' One of the movies mentioned in the earlier Tom Savini post…
Redd Inc. Synopsis: The story of a capricious, officious and vicious boss (Redd) who traps his victims and forces them to work in an horrific office of his own insane creation. They are tasked with a seemingly impossible job which they must complete or face a grisly "termination".
Redd Inc. is created by Green Light Productions Pty Limited based in Sydney Australia. The production company has created film and television programs since 1993 and is owned and managed by Redd Inc. co-writer and producer Jonathon Green. This project is not beholden to any major corporation… it is fiercely independent. It is being made by a genuine band of independent film makers who have developed a bold project that they hope thousands will want to get involved in.

Caught In A Romantic Mosh
A candlelit dinner with Anthrax as they perform Among The Living in full
Words: Phil Weller
Anthrax have always been one of the most entertaining live bands around. Metallica may have always been the giants of thrash, Megadeth the shred masters and Slayer…well, they're Slayer. But Anthrax have always been the most unashamedly fun; all about the rhythms and the grooves with Scott Ian and Joey Belladonna delivering their music with infectious, beaming smiles. Tonight is no different and they turn a packed out Academy 1 into a party, the joyous atmosphere tangible in the air.
They play two sets tonight, the first a crash course in punk-addled hammerblows and pneumatic drumming, Belladonna stalking the stage like a thrash Freddie Mercury. As they smash through the zombie pummelling Fight 'Em Till You Can't and State Of Euphoria's Be All, End All, the crowd roaring the intro back at the band like an evil, Tibetan chant, they sound ferocious, potent. Tighter than a corset on Pavarotti they are simply on fire, the audience lapping everything up, the front portions of the crowd swaying like a surging sea.
"As Caught In A Mosh erupts, the crowd splits and goes ballistic, my pint bites the dust."
After a short break, which saw punters descending on the smoking area like bargain hunters to Argos on Black Friday, the band return for the plat principal. When Among The Living was released in 1987, the United States of America had an actor as its President and leader. In 2017, while the band traipse the globe to play the record in its entirety, their country is lead by at TV host, a cartoon character. And so, as the title track's first eerie notes ring out – causing a max exodus of the smoking area – the same surreal, slightly dystopian vibes instantly return. But for all the creepy and, let's be honest, disheartening parallels between then and now, when the riffs drop and the band kick out of the jams, that all seems to melt away. Power may suck, but Anthrax do not and the power and the fury with which they smash through their seminal record is beyond commendable.
As Caught In A Mosh erupts, this scribe has only just made it from the bar to the front line and the madness of the battle was wholly underestimated. The crowd splits and goes ballistic, my pint bites the dust.
"Tighter than a corset on Pavarotti they are simply on fire tonight."
Always considered part of the exclusive 'Thrash 4' club, the New York band have always been on the outskirts of that club, geographically and notoriety wise. But Anthrax are the most faithful to the genre's punk roots, the grinding madness of Efilnekufesin (N.F.L), tonight brimming with a revitalised energy, is proof positive of that.
The Stephen King inspired A Skeleton In The Closet and the war dance of Indians understandably go down a storm tonight, like the guy who brings a keg to a house party close to running dry. Those songs, though, have been pillars of the band's sets over the last 30 years and so it is the deeper cuts of the record, such as the twin harmony crossfire of One World, which are the greatest treat tonight. Anthrax are the perfect Valentines.

Miami Aesthetic Dentistry
Addison Dental is the leader in aesthetic dentistry in South Florida. If you are looking for a dental office to carry out your cosmetic dentistry, look no further! Dr. Addison was recently recognized by the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry for his exceptional work. Our office prides itself on devoting time and attention to the needs of each patient to ensure that beauty is the ultimate result. From your initial consultation to your last appointment, we know you will never feel rushed — it will be clear that we are completely focused on you and your needs while you are visiting with us. Whether you are unhappy with the look of a single tooth or want full mouth reconstruction, our team has the experience, attention-to-detail, technology, and artistic eye to ensure that you leave with a gorgeous smile.
Dr. Addison is consistently attending continuing education classes and keeping abreast of the latest trends in cosmetic dentistry. As our patient, you can be sure that we are using the latest technology, the best dental materials and the most skilled lab technicians when working on your aesthetic dentistry needs.
Our office is unique in that we have our own in-house dental lab. Artedent Lab, one of the top dental labs in Miami, is now located in our office. What does this mean for our patients? It means that we are able to offer the best aesthetic results possible. For example, in a traditional dental office setting, if a patient needs a crown, the doctor matches the tooth shade as best he can, mails the required materials off to the dental lab so that the crown can be created and receives the crown back to place in the patient's mouth. If there is a problem in the look or feel of the crown, the dentist has to re-send the crown to the lab and the patient has to come back for another appointment to deliver the crown. This can continue until the desired result is achieved. The lab technician never actually sees the patient's teeth in person and the dentist can't evaluate the crown until he receives it back from the lab. In our office, the lab technician is able to walk over to the patient and work directly with the doctor and the patient to ensure that we achieve the perfect shade. The doctor is then able to work side-by-side with the lab technician while the crown is being created so that the doctor's precise specifications are followed. When the crown is finally delivered to the patient, if any adjustments are needed, the lab technician is able to make those adjustments immediately to ensure that the results are beautiful and that the patient leaves happy. Our patients love being able to communicate their expectations directly to the doctor and the lab technician and we love that there is an entire team working to provide the patient with the perfect results he/she deserves!
We have patients visit us from all over the world to have us create their beautiful smiles. We know that if you are looking for a cosmetic dentist in South Florida, there is no better place for you to visit than our office. Please call us today to set up your initial consultation. You'll be happy you did!

Hey there!
Thank you so much for coming by! Today I would be sharing something very interesting with you all.
A few weeks ago, I attended an event for Clarins, on their new Shaping Facial Range.
For most of us, our top priority in beauty is to have a slim face. Clarins discovered this 17 years ago and since then they have become the face contouring experts.
Now who wouldn't want a smaller face with a more V-shaped contour? Well, with Clarins you can achieve all of that! Because of this, Clarins have 2 new products:
~ V- Facial Intensive Wrap
~ Enhancing Eye lift Serum
Now let's talk about the products in details.
V- Facial Intensive Wrap is known as a highly effective wrap that gives you instantly lighter V face.
Clarins Laboratories explains how the process of our skin when it undergoes circulation disorders. When there is excessive water flow leaks from the blood vessels, the excess water cannot be reabsorbed or drain by the lymphatic system. As a result, we get the feeling of heaviness, puffiness, and swollen features will appear.
So Clarins created and introduce the 3rd generation of V- Facial Intensive Wrap, which performs 3, steps instantly.
- De-puffs instantly and intensely
- Relieves the face
- Zerumbet Ginger Extract and Escin from Horse chestnut helps to reduce the puffiness immediate.
- Beautyberry extract reinforces the microcirculations to limit the leakage.
- Brightens the complexion
- Lady's mantle extract delivers an instant radiance boost
- Kaolin to matify the skin.
Enhancing Eye lift Serum is a unique eye contour serum to not only reshape the eyes but also make the eyes look bigger.
Clarins tried to find the problems in the eyes area of Asian eyes and discovered that the three main issues are smaller eyes, darker eyes contour and thinner eyelashes. So they launched the 3rd generation of Enhancing Eye lift Serum that will diminish all of the above issues. The Enhancing Eye lift Serum does the following 3 steps instantly.
- Bigger eyes
- Guarana extract helps release the excess fat.
- Zerumbet Ginger Extract helps with de-puff of the excess fluids
- Kaki extract lifts immediately the eyelids.
- Brighter eye contours
- Escin from Horse chestnut helps to reduce the dark circles
- Lady's mantle illuminates the overall eye contour
- Bolder eyelashes
- Panthenol is a precursor of vitamin B5 to help reinforce eyelashes
Another product that I would love to mention is the Shaping Facial Lift (Best seller)
Shaping Facial Lift is the revolutionary "Total V Contouring Power" which is a combination of 3 powerful plant extracts which when combined together are known to slim, de puff and lift facial contours.
Shaping Facial Lift does the 3 steps instantly.
- Slim
- Guarana helps in giving a slimmer face, with more visibly defined cheekbones and a reduced double chin.
- De-puffs
- Zerumbet Ginger helps in giving out more sharp facial features
- Lift
- Kaki helps in giving a shaper facial line and tighter skin.
Now I would like to discuss the price points
Shaping Facial Lift – RM310 (50ml)
Enhancing Eye Lift Serum – RM250 (15ml)
V- Facial Intensive Wrap – RM240 (75ml)
For more information please visit:
I would like to thanks Clarins for inviting me and allowing me to review the products.

Anazitisi Records: ARLP 70-28
Used tags: heavy, progressive
Limited edition release of 100 copies on coloured vinyl. Still sealed in Anazitisi Records' PVC protective outersleeve!
Grading cover: MINT/SS | Grading vinyl: MINT/SS
"In 2003, we (as Ikaros Music) had presented the CD: Vavoura Band - Live / The early days. Now, we represent it in a limited to 300 copies vinyl edition with some slight tracks changes. Vavoura Band was a heavy trio formed in 1976 by vocalist bassist Johnny Vavouras and guitar virtuoso Yiannis Drolapas. Their only other vinyl release is a 7" EP made in 1980 for Happening Records. "The early days" LP captures all the glory of this band playing live in 1979 at 2 different Athens' music halls. All the songs mixed and mastered from the original 8-tracks tapes, by Vavouras & Drolapas in the old analog way and the sound quality is incredible. Heavy progressive (in the Black Sabbath vein), bluesy hard rock, even psychedelic and spacey improvisations and greek ethnic and traditional elements. A unique sound with countless lead guitar riffs and a solid and hard kicking rhythm base. All songs in English." (Anazitisi)

The colour of seed money
Every now and again, Ia��m privy to rather amusing conversations at the pub a�� that bar banter after a few pitchers, where my sozzled friends debate how to a�?fixa�? India. Words like a�?revolutiona�? are bandied about as free and fast as the successive rounds of brew, and inevitably, someone suggests facetiously that India needs a�?dictatorshipa�? to succeed. I guess ita��s an opinion typical of some millenials, products of a post-liberalisation era who dona��t value choice as much as their parents would and didna��t live through the Emergency. Backing that argument, they bring up Singapore a�� the incorruptible financial hub whose a�?benevolent dictatorship was much to its benefita�?. Before wea��d embark on a new
drunken tangent, everyone takes a collective oath to move to Singapore in the next decade.
Ita��s a view Indian start-ups have taken as well, sans the inebriation. Over the last few years, wea��ve seen an exodus of start-ups that re-domicile to Singapore to list on their stock exchange and broaden fund-raising prospects. According to a Forbes study, a�?over half of all startups to receive early-stage funding in India are expected to re-domicile to Singaporea�?, a list that currently includes e-commerce major players Flipkart, because a�?regulations there make it easy for companies to receive global venture fundinga�?.
However, SEBIa��s recent move to ease regulations for start-ups to raise capital on our recently minted institutional trading platform (ITP) is a welcome and timely one for SMEs. For investors, the biggest takeaway is the lock-in period for pre-issue capital at six months; the easier entry-and-exit for VCs makes it a lot more appealing. Much of the start-up narrative so far has revolved around how private equity players have swarmed around our tech start-ups, broadening the scope of capital-raising. A recent piece by two journalism school colleagues of mine for a business daily impressed on me just how large this pie is. Quoting figures released by venture capital research firms, they pointed out that in Q1 this year, India has edged past China in terms of investment in tech companies, with 69 deals to Chinaa��s 66. In the first four months of 2015 alone, they noted, capital raised for tech start-ups as a little under half of what we saw come in during the entire previous year.
Yet, one of them pointed out in a later conversation that this investment has converged around the bigger players, while smaller start-ups still have to pass the hat around. Maybe the new rules on the ITP could change this status quo, increasing funding potential for ambitious start-up newbies.
