A PriceWaterhouseCoopers report indicates that India could
rise from today's relatively low levels to emerge as the third
largest domestic banking market in the world by 2040 - and could
ultimately grow faster than China.
State-owned financial institutions dominate the Indian banking industry and capital markets. The liberalization of banking and insurance over the past decade has led to a transformation, with private banks (including many foreign institutions) entering the state-dominated sector and taking an ever-rising share of business.
Bank performance has also been helped by rising consumer incomes, and this has led to a steady increase in lending levels. However, the global liquidity crisis is now affecting India and leading to sharp reductions in lending. India's relatively tight regulation of the country's banking sector, along with its focus on basic products and services, has afforded it a certain degree of protection.
India has more people living in poverty than any other country, and small-scale agriculture remains an important part of the economy. As a result, demand for sophisticated financial services products is not widespread. However, a rapid increase in demand for financial services products in recent years has reflected rising incomes and increasing urbanization of the population.
There has been a rising need in urban, youth and related
upper middle class segments for prepaid debit cards. This is
fueled by increased consumer retail spending.
We have also seen much traction in Mobile Banking services as
India embarks on increased rural penetration, as evidenced by
the new Central Government Budget.

It's good to talk...
The most important element of our relationships with our clients is communication and we want to talk to you from the very start. That's why we see your initial consultation as a vitally important part of the process. Your first ideas will become our guidelines and you can start to explore exactly which of our services you might wish to use.
The first meeting...
This is how it works: once you've made an enquiry into commissioning our services we'll schedule a meeting or telephone consultation with one of our Event Managers. This generally lasts about an hour and in most instances takes place at our offices. The discussions will cover the type of wedding you want, the budget you want to spend, the extent of the services you require and when it will all take place. We'll start exploring your initial thoughts with regard to location, the theme of your wedding and the level of assistance that might be necessary in the planning process.
On the agenda:
- The proposed date of your wedding
- Geographic location – will you be getting married close to home or would you consider a destination wedding?
- The actual marriage ceremony
- The number of guests you will be inviting
- The type of venue you favour for each element of the wedding
- Initial thoughts on themes and colours for your wedding decorations
- Your budget – is it a fixed sum or will you spend what it takes to get the wedding you want?
- The services you want OccAsianZ to undertake
This initial consultation is completely free of charge and leaves you under no obligation to use our services. It is a way of getting to know each other and it allows us to demonstrate to you how we can help you. (However, if our Event Manager has to travel to see you, we will ask you for a small fee to cover his or her travel expenses.)
Once we have had an initial consultation with you, your assigned Event Manager will put together a proposal, summarising our discussions and setting out a schedule of services and costs for you.
Your initial consultation is the first step of your journey towards a perfect wedding day
Organising your wedding may seem like a daunting task, but once you have OccAsianZ on board, it will be plain sailing. We'll be on hand to make the whole thing easy for you.

Higher seminar in theoretical philosophy: Angela Breitenbach (Cambridge/SCAS)
Plats: D700
Pluralism and the Unity of Science
I shall present a paper I am coauthoring with Yoon Choi (Marquette). In it we argue for a conception of the unity of science that is of distant but distinct Kantian provenance. We first review some of the challenges that undermined two influential predecessor conceptions of the unity of science. Many of these criticisms were raised by pluralists, who found them reason enough to embrace, and not just tolerate, the disunity of science. We propose an alternative response. We argue that the epistemic advantages of pluralism arise only when pluralism is combined with a limiting, unifying constraint: when it is a unified pluralism. But once we adopt unified pluralism, there is, we suggest, a shared ideal that emerges, a conception of what we call the pluralist unity of science.

Your credit score is the single most common measurement of creditworthiness, meaning that it determines whether someone can get credit, and under what conditions. As a result, if you have a good credit score, you can expect to borrow more money at better interest rates and more lenient loan conditions than would be possible if you have a poor credit score.
If you are looking for easy ways to start rebuilding your credit score, consider implementing these 6 tips into your personal finance plan:
- The simplest and most straightforward method for improving your credit score is to make bill payments on time. If you are willing to make pre-authorized payments, make arrangements so you never accidently forget to pay a bill. Or, set up reminders in your calendar to make your payment well ahead of the due date.
- Even if you are no longer using one of your credit cards, you should not close it right away. If you close your unused card, you could lose the credit history attached to it. This is important because you are judged on the length of your credit history as well as the contents of your credit history.
- Be sure to pay down your existing balances before borrowing more money. The less debt that you have relative to your income, the more debt you can take on before your debt burden becomes unsustainable. This is something that your credit score report will pick up on and take note of.
- Using different kinds of credit can result in improvements to your credit score. For example, consider using a line of credit for bigger expenses instead of using your credit card all the time. A varied borrowing history combined with regular payments can give your score a boost.
- Reduce the number of checks on your credit score if at all possible. It can be a red flag for credit bureaus if they see a number of subsequent checks into your credit score. The result could be a lowered score.
- You are entitled to one free copy of your credit score report on an annual basis. Use it to check your credit score report for errors that are causing damage to your credit. If you find an error, contact the business that reported it to correct it as soon as possible.

Electric cars may be out to save the world sooner than we think
Tesla and Volkswagen are already making the shift
Jul 10, 2017
Electric cars seem like a thing of the future, but they may be rolling out for public use sooner than we think. This is all thanks to the sudden drop in zero-emission vehicle prices brought about by China and other European countries' decisive campaign to reduce carbon emissions and the plunge in lithium-ion battery prices.
Automobile manufacturers Tesla and Volkswagen are leading the race in switching from petroleum-powered cars into electric ones with plans to phase out existing models as early as 2019. Tesla's chief executive Elon Musk unveiled the company's latest model on Twitter, saying it is now "built and going through final checkout".
First Production Model 3 pic.twitter.com/TCa2NSUNI3
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 9, 2017
But however positive the effect of the possibility of plug-in electric vehicles going mainstream is in combating global warming, detractors are still pessimistic as it will affect many industries, including automobiles and oil. While other countries and states like Hong Kong are implementing stricter taxes on electric cars, discouraging manufacturers.
Advances in transportation and environmental advocacy, however, seem like a shot in the dark for developing countries like the Philippines.
Last year, President Rodrigo Duterte refused to sign the Paris Agreement which seeks to keep the global average temperature at 2 degrees Celsius, saying this will impede on the country's industrialization. However, after the Cabinet voted in its favor, Duterte finally signed it earlier this year.
Apart from this reluctance in part of the government, road congestion has yet to be resolved despite proposed measures such as extended number coding and phasing out old public utility jeepneys.
But should the traffic ease and economic conditions become favorable for the introduction of electric cars in Manila, here are some of the benefits that we can expect.
Reduced Fuel Consumption
A report by the Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates a drop as much as 75 percent by 2030 in fuel-dependency in major cities. This is in part due to electric cars dependence on electric sources, which can also mean that if its power source is renewable, it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Cheaper cost of running
Previous electronic models were once criticized because of the amount of time it takes for them to charge, some taking overnight to be fully-charged. However manufacturers are moving to improve on this by making energy-efficient batteries which reduces the charging time and the cost of running versus petrol-reliant cars.
Cleaner Air
Since electric vehicles have zero emissions, owners are helping reduce air pollution. This is not only helpful in the fight against global warming but also vital in reducing commuters' risks of acquiring respiratory diseases.
Safer Mode of Transport
Technologies in manufacturing are also making these cars less likely to be prone to accidents, with most models having a lower center of gravity which makes them less like to roll over. And since there are no flammable fuels used to run them, there is also less risk of fires or explosions.

Emergency departments, whether public or private, are generally open to anyone. If you visit a private hospital there will likely be an upfront, non-refundable fee.
If you're at a private hospital and you need to be admitted, you'll usually need to have private health insurance or be prepared to pay for an inpatient stay. Uninsured patients are usually given the option to transfer to a public hospital, depending on the availability of beds.

Bongeziwe Mabandla Debuts New Album 'iimini'
The critically lauded singer has delivered a lush 12-track project.
On his third album, SAMA award-winning artist, Bongeziwe Mabandla, offers up a collection of songs that trace the unfolding of love with pure sonic beauty, from the day of first meeting to the heartbreaking end.
Titled iimini, Mabandla's offering presents a cycle of 12 songs, with a beginning, middle and end, and is intended to be listened to as a whole. It's the latest from the artist whose singular repertoire has gained him the title of "the enigmatic spirit of African soul".
It's also the first to be released with Platoon, a London-based artist services company that is playing a role in helping African and South African artists showcase their creativity to the world.
"iimini starts off with meeting someone and how feelings evolve to love, and then the pain and heartache of being with someone," says Mabandla of the album's underpinning theme. "The last songs are about the end of relationship and the cutting of ties, and basically the separation of people who used to be incomplete without each other."
Mabandla explains that his attachment to one-theme albums (the notion of marvelling and miracles drove Mangaliso) springs from a desire to make visible what is important in his own life. "But the difficulty of making an album about one thing is that you have to find the multiple stories within that single subject," he confides.
In searching for these narratives, Mabandla drew inspiration from his roots – growing up in Tsolo, a rural part of South Africa's Eastern Cape, and then moving to study acting in Johannesburg. "I've always loved listening to lyrics. South Africans love storytelling in a song and I am led by a desire to be part of that tradition when writing."
With a repertoire centred around 2012's Umlilo, the award-winning Mangaliso and now iimini, Mabandla is building his audience, both at home and internationally.
The latter part of 2019 saw him play Reeperbahn Festival (Germany), Lake of Stars (Malawi), five dates at Afrovibes Festival (Netherlands), Womex (Finland), and the Oslo World Festival (Norway). In November 2019 he performed to a sold-out audience at London's 100 Club along with eight dates in France (including sold-out shows in Paris and Strasbourg), and his first sold out show in Zurich, Switzerland.
For the artist, there's a natural progression from his first days performing his songs on just an acoustic guitar to his current standing as one of Africa's most adventurous, engaging and essential artists. "I started off as a folk artist, but my music is evolving and changing and iimini captures where I am right now just perfectly," Mabandla concludes.
iimini is released by Platoon, seeing Mabandla join the likes of Princess Nokia, Victoria Monet, Maleek Berry, Mr Eazi, Santi, Odunsi the Engine, Kwesi Arthur, Samthing Soweto, Ami Faku, Sun-El Musician, Sino Solo, Msaki and The Word of Birds in releasing through the defiantly artist-centric music company.

Boyz II Men Confirm NEW Dates for Mzansi Tour!

I started in retail travel in Christchurch in 1979, as a receptionist.
The role included booking [travel] tickets by phone which often encountered lengthy delays.
[...] It was very simple technically, but it did mean that clients always came to a travel agent, as it was too difficult otherwise.
What are the most important attributes of a good travel agent/tour operator?
In-depth personal knowledge of tourist regions, accommodation, transfer and sightseeing providers. [...] An uncompromising attention to detail.
Strong business and long-term relationships with key tourism providers.
What is the most frequently asked question that your company receives from customers?
What destinations, sightseeing and experiences should I include in my New Zealand itinerary?
[...] However, smaller groups and incentive requests are becoming more common.
So then the questions relate very much to the detailed experiences that clients can enjoy. [...]
What are the must-visits and must-dos in New Zealand that nobody should miss?
There is always an opportunity to experience an adventure or just immerse yourself in nature's quiet idyllic spots.
[...] Rotorua is known for its Maori culture and renowned for its geothermal parks [...]. Queenstown is the adventure capital and is surrounded by magnificent scenery in every direction.
Which destination is on your bucket-list?
Like many who live in such a breathtakingly beautiful country, it can be easy to take it for granted.
[...] I like trying out luxury lodges

Securing our cPanel and WHM server is very important. There are ways to secure them, namely : Use secure passwords, Secure SSH, Secure Apache and Harden one's operating system.
Insecure passwords often creates security issues. For instance, insecure passwords makes way for vicious hackers to gain unauthorized access, gather confidential information from the server and infect the sites with malicious virus softwares.
Moving the SSH access to a different port will create difficulty for others to know which port to use for SSH.
ModSecurityTM tool helps to secure server's Apache installation.
We recommend to click the links below to access security guides of Linux distributions on which one can install cPanel and WHM
Harden your /tmp portion by using the /scripts/securetmp script for extra security.

|Stare too long into the abyss and the abyss stares back.
|~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Darkness is usually the symbol of evil. Often, it is classified as a type of energy that the villain draws upon. In many good vs. evil stories, light is the good, the antithesis of the evil darkness.
Examples of Darkness as a symbol of evil comes from the fact it is used in many villains names, the "Prince of Darkness" (sometimes called "King of Darkness") is also a fairly common alternative name for The Devil himself - also in many fantasy settings the word "Dark" is suggestive of an evil-version of a species of faction that is normal good (or even a more malignant type of an already evil species/faction) - examples of this are the Dark Elves (from many different settings) and Dark Eldar (from Warhammer 40K).
In many religions and philosophies, darkness is seen as one of the most ancient forces, predating almost all things and in many ways, being related to the Greek concept of chaos (an empty void that existed before the "ordered" universe) - this darkness is not always seen as evil but it can be seen as negative, especially in the fact it represents either an abscence of life or order - both of which are seen by many as unwanted states of existence.
Darkness can also be represented as a sentient - or at the least intelligent - force in itself, whenever this is applied it is almost always evil. Examples of darkness being seen as sentient or somehow "alive" can be seen in the villain type known as the Dark Form or Dark Lord, depending on the writer.
Darkness is also used to classify a work of fiction as containing mature and often depressing and/or disturbing content such as death and suffering - it can also be used to refer to a personality-type that is prone to more negative thoughts or actions, such as a fixation on death or suffering: some subcultures (especially Goths and Emos) deliberately idolise this personality-type and may dress in black and listen to music that deals with angst or death as part of their identity.

By Roshni Jariwala
This year, a handful of juniors participated in the prototype of an engineering class led by teacher, Wayne Brock. Students were able to, as Brock put it, "dip their toes" in a few of the many types of engineering. For the class' end of the year project, they were given the chance to pitch projects they were interested in, and try to woo other teammates. Brock said, "I really like that students did not just choose easy projects. They are really pushing themselves to try things outside what might be comfortable." Here are some of the most popular projects pitched.
CNC Pancakes
One group is building a CNC Mill, which can release pancake mix onto a griddle. CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control, which is where computers are used to control machine tools that can perform different actions. This piece of machinery can create a pancake based on designs created on the computer. Designer, Katie Toye, said that one of the most important things she has learned is to, "prepare for something to go wrong, no matter how well you think you are prepared."
Prosthetic Elbow
One of the four students in the group, Samantha Tse, said, "Originally it was going to be a hand, but we figured out that making the fingers move would be insanely hard." Designer, Meghna Gaddam, says that she has "learned to be realistic with projects 'cause this one may have been ambitious, but I've also learned not to give up."
Milling Arm
According to designer Nicholas Hom, they are building "a two-arm, delta style CNC milling machine. Our objective is to make a tool capable of cutting foam and wood." Hom is using this assignment to build a project that feeds into the field of his interest. "I want to be a mechanical engineer in the future, and this project is going to be one of the coolest things I will design in my life. It will help me make a very compelling portfolio," Hom says.
The biggest project in size that is being worked on is the GoKart. Designer, Jadene Auerbach said, "Because I've been wanting to build a car for so long, I guess a GoKart was a compromise." The biggest challenge, besides lack of time is budget. Auerbach says that the team we needs an engine, "which is not cheap", and that it would be nice to have a chassis that they didn't have to build. "The different components of the GoKart add up," she admits.
Brock hopes that students, "walk away with the mindset that they can challenge themselves and push themselves beyond what is 'assigned' to them. Then they create their own goals, structure, criteria for success, and keep adding to their toolbox of skills needed to develop the solution to those problems or challenges."

It's that time of year again, folks! Camping Season (at least for those of us who refuse to go when it's hot out) is upon us! Our families both enjoy camping when we get the chance (and together when schedules and weather allow) so we thought we would share our best tips on camping with kids, from toddlers to pre-teens (or whatever 9 year olds are considered). We share our favorite practices for organization, planning ahead for entertaining kids, picking the best location, meals, gear, and more – and share a few horror stories along the way.

"Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. and why one? Because he was seeking godly offspring. so guard yourself in spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth." Mal. 2:15
The family as the fundamental building block of the society as part of the divine plan of the Almighty is the cornerstone of this ministry. Pre-marital and post marital counseling sessions are available to individuals and couples that are rooted in the Word of God enlightening them about the true purpose of a family, to have godly children and the necessity to impart the love of Christ to them at an impressionable age. We educate them about the well-defined and specific roles of husband and wife in the divine scheme of things to attain spiritual progress, collective harmony and blessings.

Printing Mailing Labels with DonorDock and Microsoft Office
Sometimes it seems like doing the most menial tasks eat up the most time and cause the highest levels of frustration. I think printing mailing labels from a CRM tool fits this bill.
Generally speaking, mail merges with Microsoft Office can be particularly frustrating, but I realized it is most likely because there aren't a simple set of steps to follow. My gift to you, then, is a simple set of steps to follow to create your mailing labels using DonorDock and Microsoft Office.
To get started, identify the list of contacts you'll want to generate mailing labels for. Because we are in the midst of tax season right now, my example will be building a mailing list of the donors who gave to my organization last year.
The easiest way to do this would be to generate mailing labels for the annual giving statements. To create this particular list, I am going to use the Giving Summary report. This report is the most applicable as it allows the user to set a date range (1/1/2018-12/31/2018 in this case) and it will give a single record for each donor who gave during that timeframe.
Once the report is loaded, it's time to export the results to Excel using the Export to Excel button. It always helps to save the export somewhere easy to remember on the computer, and then open the Excel file.
One thing that has caused issues in the past with the Microsoft Office Mail Merge is trying to use an Excel file as the source of data. There is a strange issue in which Microsoft Word will throw a cryptic error when trying to use the Excel file. To get around this, we need to save the Excel document as a CSV using the Save As command in Excel.
After saving the file as a CSV, close Excel and open Microsoft Word. Click on Mailings in the main navigation menu of Microsoft Word. Click the Start Mail Merge menu item and choose Labels… from the dropdown menu.
Choose the manufacturer and type of label you are using. This example uses the ubiquitous Avery 5160 labels as they are a largely familiar choice.
Click on OK. Then click on Select Recipients and choose Use an Existing List from the dropdown.
Here is where we choose the CSV file we saved earlier as the source of our data. This will add the spots for labels to the Word document, and in the first label spot (top left), we're now able to set up the template.
Click the Insert Merge Field button and choose the fields you want to add to your label from the dropdown. Do this for each field in the layout you want for your label. I did the contact's name and address as follows:
Once the template label set the way you would like it to look, click the Update Labels button to fill the template into the other labels.
The final step is to click the Finish and Merge button and choose to Edit Individual Documents. This will give us a chance to see the file before printing.
Click OK on the next pop-up:
Congratulations, you now have your mailing labels ready to print for your annual giving statements!
Get those labels on the envelopes and get those donor tax statements in the mail. Maybe include a nice handwritten note, or a program update on all the good you did in 2018. What a great reason to engage with your donors!

Today's strange news award goes to an invention. Kate Bernot via thetakeout alerts us to something new and interesting coming to a convenience store near you.
I didn't think one of the coolest beverage innovations of the past few years would come courtesy of 7-Eleven, but here we have it: The convenience stores chain has debuted a coffee line called Fizzics Sparkling Cold Brew Coffee, and it's packaged in self-chilling cans. Self-chilling!
Developed by packaging manufacturer The Joseph Company International, the 8.4-ounce cans are "activated" when the customer turns a knob at the bottom of the can, releasing CO2 that cools the coffee inside in about 90 seconds. It even makes a neat hissing sound, kind of like a venting Instant Pot. FoodBev Media reports the packaging took more than 25 years to develop. The Fizzics cans will debut in 15 7-Eleven stores around the L.A. area, but given how lengthy and presumably expensive the development process was for this can technology, I'd expect it will see a much wider rollout in the future.
Great idea. This is the first exciting new thing in beverage packaging that I've seen, well, ever. I don't drink coffee, but I'd buy this just to try it out. Hopefully all of this is recycleable and does not add to the CO2 in the atmosphere.

text: kxkvi Posted September 3, 2012 What is the useful shelf-life of a typical burned CD or DVD? Is there any real research that covers this issue? How long before uncorrectable errors appear on the media? I did a web search on the topic, and the answers I see are all over the map. I'm sure there are many factors involved, and it's probably not a simple question. Still, it seems to me that the folks who come out with "hundreds of years" might be confusing burned CDs/DVDs with conventionally "pressed" media. As for myself, I'll feel lucky if they perform well after ten years of sitting around at room temperature. At the point where things start degrading, if I'm still interested in retaining the files, I'll simply burn them to new media, whatever form that may take ten years down the road. On a semi-related note, I'm curious about what type of error-correction is currently used on data CDs/DVDs. When I was into digital audio back in the 80s, I often read about Reed-Solomon Cross-Interleave Code. However, I'm not sure this technology migrated from audio CDs to media holding data. I can see from using utilites like Nero CD/DVD speed that errors seem to be detectable, and to some degree are correctable, but I'm not sure about the algorithm being used.

Samsung has just announced its flagship devices for 2015, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Interestingly, this time Samsung has ditched there old plastic build for a more premium metallic unibody design.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge both have Gorilla Glass 4 glass panels on the front and rear. Sides of the new Samsung flagship devices have metallic borders. Galaxy S6 is significantly different than its predecessors S5 or S4 since they both look pretty much alike. It might resemble the Galaxy Alpha a bit but Samsung has really improved the design. While S6 and S6 Edge might look alike at first glance, there are some prominent differences. S6 Edge has it's display curved on both the sides. This is mostly to help in swiping because unlike the Note Edge, S6 Edge doesn't have special apps to run on the edges.
Under the hood, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are pretty much identical. Like all the previous Samsung flagships, they also feature top-notch processors. In this case, its the Samsung Exynos 7420 Octa-core processor. They will both have a 3 GB RAM with 32/64/128 GB storage options to choose from. Both have the improved 16MP primary shooter on the back. Samsung claims it to be faster and even easier to use than before. As one would expect, both Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge would come with Android Lollipop installed. One minor difference though is that Galaxy S6 is powered by a 2550 mAh Li-Ion battery while S6 Edge has a 2600 mAh Li-Ion battery.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge would go on sale starting on 10th April. There's no word on the pricing yet but both the devices would be available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire and Gold Platinum. They would also be available in exclusive Blue Topaz for Galaxy S6 and Green Emerald for S6 Edge.
