Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a condition that is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. What is it and how do we prevent it?
Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to accurately diagnose DVT. In fact, half of all DVT cases have very few signs. Schedule an appointment with your physician if you notice any of the following symptoms: your skin feels warm when you touch it, your veins look visibly larger or are discolored or your leg begins to swell or becomes painful/tender. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms, you need to seek immediate medical attention: you cough up blood, you experience excessive anxiety/sweating, you become dizzy/faint, you have a rapid pulse, you have chest pains or you have shortness of breath.
Your physician may check to see if other problems may be causing the above symptoms, like muscle strains or other vein inflammations that are not as serious. However, if he/she does suspect that you may have DVT, he/she may order one of three tests. A doppler ultrasound is probably the first test that will be ordered, as it is the most popular. In this procedure, the physician will first rub some medical jelly on your leg and then use a transducer device, which sends sound wave signals into the leg. These waves travel through the leg tissue and back to the device, which records the "images" and will reveal any clot that may be present. A second test is called a venography test. The physician or technician will inject a dye into a large foot or ankle vein. X-rays will be taken to reveal any clots that may be present. Although a highly accurate test, a venography is also more invasive and uncomfortable for the patient. The third test is an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging). The patient's leg will usually be placed in a large tube-like device that uses extremely strong magnets to "take a picture," so to speak, of the body's internal structure.
Common Causes and Prevention
DVT usually strikes people over the age of 60, but that does not necessarily mean that somebody younger is not at risk. Injuries to the leg, including blows to the leg, athletic injuries, cancer or surgery may increase the risk of DVT. Immobility also increases the risk of DVT, so many people who are bed-ridden due to disease or injury are often prone to it. Pregnancy and the use of oral contraceptives, like birth control pills, increase the risk as does smoking, obesity and cancer. Also, people who are frequent travelers on planes, including pilots and stewardesses are susceptible to the condition.
It is possible to prevent DVT. If you are a frequent traveler, there are many plane exercises you can perform in your seat or walking around the plane that may decrease your risk. Keeping your weight down, eating a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly may also keep DVT at bay.
Fortunately, there are many treatments available to help. Medications like anticoagulants (help prevent further clots) and thrombolytic agents (help dissolve clots) will help alleviate the symptoms. If the DVT is severe, there are also surgical procedures that can be done, including a thrombectomy (surgically removing the clot) or placing a filter in the vein that leads to the heart to help stop any clots that may get loose.

Amadeo's Blue Full Skirt
"Amadeo's Blue" is deeply inspired by "Oceano Vermelhão Azul", painted by Amadeo Souza-Cardoso of Portugal. Our design combines two original "azulejo" tiles to form a vibrant, and visually expressive pattern while reflecting on the activity and color palette of Amadeo's masterpiece.
As our next chapter in keeping with traditional Portuguese "Azulejaria" (tile making), we brought to light the ability to combine an artistic treasure and ancient heritage, with a contemporary sense of style. To bring an even greater life to our patterns, many of our garments have a symbol which will lead you to where the original tiles are. Follow the heart to see what you're wearing.

The Practice Project – Bach, Episode 2 (technicals & improvisation)
Posted by Lynne Phillips in The Practice Project on December 19, 2013
This video is proving to be the longest video I have shot to date. It is, however, I think one of the most interesting ones I have recorded.
The first section is purely technical – me working out and finalising fingering in each hand. Because my aim here is to get the Fantasia 'note-perfect' so that I can work out exactly what fingering I need to navigate the music, I am pretty much correcting every single wrong note or wrong fingering.
The middle section is mostly made up of improvisatory techniques; and this an extremely important area where I really do feel that too many students are too scared to delve into. Improvising, for me, is all about discovery and experimentation, and this is where I really start to find out about the structure of the music, the harmonic sequences, the direction and shape of the music, and the sounds that lie behind and underneath the notes. Students (and parents) are often worried that this is not 'really practising', that it is 'just mucking about', or that they do not know how to do it, or that it might be 'wrong' (just listen to the sheer number of mistakes I make whilst I am improvising; it often takes me 4 or 5 tries to find the harmony I am looking for!) They could not be more mistaken; discovering new things about music is never a 'waste of time', and there is no right way to do this, the process of experimenting is far more useful than the result itself. When I go back to playing the 'right notes' after improvising like this for a good session, I feel like I bring a new understanding and new knowledge to the music.
Improvising is never a waste of time, it benefits the performer in ways that 'normal' practice can't even get close to.
The final section is another technical one; this one shows me attempting to co-ordinate the two voices and get my hands working well together (with varying degrees of success!)

The Practice Project – Bach, episode 1
Posted by Lynne Phillips in The Practice Project on December 18, 2013
This is the first of the video uploads of my own practice session. I am working on the Fantasia from Bach's Partita No.3 in A minor, and videoing all my practice sessions on this piece from the beginning to its completion.
The videos are completely unedited, except to delete small insignificant sections (e.g. to answer to door, or grab a cup of tea etc.). You can see my practice methods, my mistakes, my repetitions, my improvisations, my at times desperately slow tempos.
This first episode is roughly 20 minutes long, and is very much about discovering the music for the first time… the notation, the counterpoint, the general 'feel' of the piece. I am not worried too much in this session about playing accurately, I am just getting an idea of what Bach has written, and where the technical 'black-spots' are. My fingering is pretty much guessed throughout, and there are a great many wrong notes, stumbles, hesitations, tempo changes, etc. Despite this, there are moments when I am feeling confident enough with my knowledge of the music in small areas to begin a little elementary experimentation with articulation, dynamics, shape, and general musicality.

The Practice Pie
Posted by Lynne Phillips in Resources, Teaching, The Practice Project on December 17, 2013
This is the first instalment of The Practice Project, and I'm going to kick-off with the Practice Pie. This is designed for students who don't practice enough, or who practice a lot of one thing but never move forward with other skills.
The Practice Pie works by taking an average half hour practise session and splitting it into its component parts; for my students this usually boils down to one or two pieces, a study or two, and some scales & arpeggios. The Practice Pie is meant to be flexible, not just for actual content, but length of content as well (for example. a young 6 year old beginner would not be expected to practice for a full 30 minutes, and probably would not have enough repertoire to cover that 30 minutes even if they were, whereas a more advanced student would need considerable more than 30 minutes to progress).
The idea of the Pie is to make a practice session as accessible as possible by seeing it as small do-able chunks rather than one enormous inaccessible pie. Students who balk at the idea of 30 minutes hard graft are often more amenable to the idea of working for a timed 5 or 10 minutes on something. (I advise students to use a timer here, so they can get a real sense of achievement when that timer goes off for their 5 minutes work – but it has to be set for each chunk, not the whole session as a whole… remember the importance of accessible, achievable and do-able).
- 'Chunk it down' – break the practice into accessible sections
- Time it! – Use a timer to stay motivated, and to give regular breaks and a sense of achievement
- Be flexible – Adjust the Pie to suit the needs of the individual student
- Break it up – Nobody set a law that says 30 minutes practice has to all be done in one go – use the Pie to keep track of a practice that is done in different sections throughout the day
Coming Soon – The Practice Flowchart, and the first video of my own practice sessions.

The Practice Project
Posted by Lynne Phillips in The Practice Project on December 16, 2013
I've been on a bit of a mission lately, as most of my students would tell you if they had the chance, to get students not just practicing more, but practicing effectively and efficiently. And I think the mission, so far, is a success. Or at least, it's a successful start to an ongoing mission.
So what does that mean? 'Practising effectively and efficiently'?
To explain this, we have to walk a few steps back to the beginning of the story – to the lessons, and the students' progress (or lack of).
These are the problems I am confronted with every single day of my teaching….
- Students who don't practice enough
- Students who practice enough without it appearing to do any good
- Students who progress a huge amount in lessons then seem to almost go backwards during the week
- Students who practice enough but practice the wrong thing
But for each of these students (and there are a great many that fall into one of these categories), most of their problems stem from this….
Students don't know how to practice
And this is because….
Students are not taught how to practice
The solution has everything to do with the last sentence; that students are not taught how to practice. This makes the problem, and the solution, my responsibility.
Hence the mission.
So what are the reasons why students don't practice well? (I'm assuming here that the students genuinely want to have piano lessons, they are playing repertoire that they enjoy, they get on well with their teacher, and they are not under any type of external pressure that is playing havoc with their self-esteem or confidence.)
Apart from the obvious lack of taught practice skills…
- They are scared of making mistakes
- They get bored of repetition
- They have unrealistically high expectations of themselves
- They have unrealistically low expectations of themselves
- They believe the myth, 'Practice Makes Perfect'
- They feel frustrated when they don't get something right first time
- They feel upset and stupid when they don't get something right first time
- They think I always get everything right first time
- They have never been asked to work autonomously on anything before
- They got away with very little practice at the beginning and have not adjusted to their more advanced repertoire.
So, onto the Practice Project; a project that will see me blogging various articles on practicing over the coming months, posting videos of my own practice sessions, and posting resources to help students get the most out of their own practice sessions.
I have multiple aims here –
- To replace the 'practice makes perfect' myth with the real aim of practise; 'practice makes permanent'.
- To not only post my mistakes via the video footage, but to actually highlight them, showing to students how many mistakes we professionals actually make, and how we deal with them, and most importantly, that mistakes are okay!
- To give as many different practice strategies as possible, including improvisation, and explain their uses.
- To encourage breaking pieces up into small workable sections – making practice more accessible and 'do-able'.
- To post resources to help with practice timetabling and strategies.
I hope I achieve what I set out to do – to enable students of all abilities and ages to develop autonomous, effective, and efficient practising.

When you use a conjunctive adverb (therefore, however, nevertheless, consequently, for example, on the other hand, moreover, besides, accordingly, thus) to join two independent clauses (complete sentences), precede the adverb with a semicolon and follow it with a comma.
When you combine two complete sentences with any of the words listed in the parentheses above, put a semicolon before the word and a comma after it.I lost my ticket; however, I still attended the play.
Sam disrespected his mother; consequently, he will be driving a tractor to school this fall.
Note that the underlined items in the sentence above are complete sentences; therefore, when you combine the sentences with a conjunctive adverb (don't worry about what it's called), use a semicolon before and a comma after.
Some conjunctive adverbs can be used for transition, as an introductory word, or for conversational purposes. If the conjunctive adverb does NOT function by combining complete sentences, set it off with commas.
You, however, are definitely not the person I thought you were.

Turns out postfix IS useful
Snowulf recently migrated servers and on the new one I didn't set up postfix. After all, I don't want it to accept any mail and since I have no need to relay mail, why would I need an MTA? Well other than to get around New York City, it turns out that sendmail is part of that postfix install on Ubuntu.
See, our blog here uses sendmail (as does many simple pieces of software) to alert me of comments to the blog. It also alerts any users that "subscribe" to an entry of new comments too. Last Friday, I noticed there were comments showing up on the blog entries (Thanks Brion) and I hadn't received an email. Didn't take a rocket scientist to track down the issue. One `_apt-get install sendmail_` later and I had postfix. It is 'recommended' not required but apt-get felt like installing it anyways, so who am I to stand in the way of apt-get progress. More importantly, I now get emails alerting me to blog comments.
We do wuvvle the comments. Makes us feel like we're not just standing on a street corner shouting "The end is near" like a crazy person, but actually talking to someone (like a crazy person).

It's 82 degrees out, the birds are singing praises to the sun goddess and it's heartbreakinly beautiful outside. But we're inside. I'm letting Leo watch TV this afternoon. We both have decided it's time to let this day be over.
After 2 hours of driving, a full day at the office and an hour of soccer practice, we've just about had it with Monday. Leo wanted eggs for dinner, and you know what, that seemed perfectly fine with me.
I've been trying to implement the wisdom of my elders on days like today. What is that wisdom you say, to get all the things done that you needed to get done?
Don't sit down
It seems too simple and also borderline torturous. But I think the reason it works is that inertia keeps you moving when you're on empty, but once you sit down it takes too much energy, energy you don't have, to get back up.
I often wonder what other wisdom my elders acquired. I've found myself recently asking more and more about my family. I'm so intrigued by their lives, their motivations, their lessons, their errors.
To some, it's seems futile to dig up old bones, but the more I learn, the more I understand about what got us here, for better or worst. I never thought to ask before, when I was younger, blame adolescent self-absorption.
I've come to understand so much and still realize I have so much more to learn. For as much as I try to gather all my strength to do so, I don't have the tender patience my grandmother did with her 7 children. She didn't want to get married, sufrio mal tratos, and yet she had patience with all of them.
But she's not here anymore to guide me, I lost her long before I became a mother myself. We had been separated by arbitrary borders and time from the day I was born.
There's so many mistakes I've made. I don't exactly have a "this is what you do to be successful in life" roadmap. It seems my elders endured their hardships with dignity, but I often doubt my own strength to do the same.
I've asked, who is the type of person I want to become? What are the things I want to accomplish in this life? How do I want to make people feel? My goals and my personality are constantly at odds with each other. But without much of an emotional or social inheritance, I'm grasping at straws trying to figure it out as a go.
I keep stumbling, but I won't stop getting right back up

As many people know, from my very first product review ever I have always been a die hard Earth Balance fan. Years ago, it was really the only vegan butter substitute that wasn't overly margarine like or disgusting. Over the past year or so, I have heard really great things about the Miyoko's butter but I hadn't been able to find it locally until recently! About one month ago, Natural Grocers began carrying it and I was more or less running around the store unable to contain my excitement!
For starters, I'm not going to go into detail on the packaging. Earlier this week, Miyoko's announced that they are changing their packaging for the butter, so anything I write currently will be outdated within a few weeks. I do know that they are changing the plastic around the butter to a vegan wax paper and it will be coming in a box instead of a cardboard sleeve. The general colors stay the same and everything is in bold, so it should be just as easy to find! I am really looking forward to these changes. I have had issues with the sleeve being annoying. The vacuum sealed plastic isn't ideal either. I have been storing my butter in a zip top bag to try to keep it as fresh as possible. I am hoping that the wax paper will be easily folded around the product so it stays fresh without wasting the extra plastic.
The ingredients of the butter itself are simple, and I definitely prefer them to other vegan butter substitutes. I like that it doesn't contain palm oil and there aren't any weird gums. The worst ingredient is non-GMO soy lecithin. I was also really intrigued by the fact that it is cultured. I have never had cultured butter, and it doesn't specifically say what the cultures are, so I was a little skeptical.
When it came to the taste test, I did the most natural thing, spread it on toast! The butter is really hard out of the fridge, so I suggest letting it sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature before spreading. Otherwise it is very difficult to spread. I have ruined multiple pieces of toast trying to spread too quickly due to my excitement. Once I was able to get over the cold, crumbly hurdle, it was time to try the butter. I took a bite of the toast and my whole life changed. It was incredibly creamy and rich from the combination of oils and cashews, it had a mellow cultured flavor, and it was absolutely amazing. I felt like my whole vegan butter experience up until trying this had been a lie. I honestly don't remember what dairy butter tastes like, but I think this is better. I have not so secretly eaten the crumbly pieces out of the wrapper when it's too cold. It is seriously that good!
I think my review spoke for itself, but I would highly recommend this as a butter alternative. It is a little pricier than Earth Balance, but it is worth every penny!I must admit, I don't use it for my baking because I feel guilty using it in large quantities, but I'm sure it makes amazing desserts! This product changed my vegan life, and I hope others find that as well!

Who's heard of protein fasting?
It's supposed to be the safest way to tap into autophagy (body protein recycling) without wrecking your metabolism and hormones like regular intermittent fasting tends to do, especially for women.
More on that another time but in the meantime, a big batch recipe that saves you cooking for a few days at least.
All tasty vegetables, feels amazing and perfect for my no protein day.
Butter 'Chicken' Vegetables Recipe
1 tsp Ginger powder
2 tsp Turmeric powder
3 tsp Sweet Paprika powder
2 tsp Stock paste (or healthy stock cubes)
2 TBS Butter
½ Onion (or 1 tsp Onion powder)
1 TBS Tomato Paste
1 cup Tomato Puree
2 cups Bone Broth (or stock)
2 cups Water
4 cups chopped Vegetables
(choice of veges – potato, pumpkin and green beans is my favourite – also can use zucchini, capsicum, peas, green beans, sweet potato) Potato is pretty essential to the success of this though.
1/4 cup Coconut Cream (or normal cream)
1 TBS Potato Starch (& ½ cup water)
How you do it…
In a large saucepan cook the onion on medium heat with the butter and throw in all the spices, stir for 2-3 minutes.
Then throw everything else in except the cream & potato starch. (Add a little more water if you need to cover the vegetables.)
Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 mins until veges are soft – don't go too far or else it turns to mush – experience talking here!
Stir the potato starch in the half cup of water to dilute it, then stir through the mix to thicken it up a little.
Stir in the cream at the end.
(Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days. Great in the freezer too.)
Now Butter "Chicken" can be made with different spices including Garam Masala, Ginger, Garlic, Pepper, Coriander, Cumin, Turmeric and Chili – however the ones I have included in my recipe is what I would normally have in my pantry, as I don't like my dishes too spicy hot, yet this has just enough zing!
I plan to try different ones each time to make it interesting.
I serve with white rice generally if I am having it as a main dish, but it's just a great option to have in the fridge or freezer to add flavour to any meal – I might fry or steam a piece of white fish to have with this. We've had prawns and this dish on the side. Just beautiful.
(I have made this with chicken as well for my husband; just brown the chicken in the first step with the onions. Then I would allow the chicken to simmer in the tomato spicy mix for 20 minutes first then add the vegetables to continue for another 20 minutes – this is just to make sure the chicken is cooked properly before you add the veges.)
What's your favourite Indian dish flavour?
Happy healthy cooking!

Timothée Chalamet is in negotiations to star in Legendary Studios relaunch of Frank Herbert's Hugo and Nebula award-winning Dune!
The Hollywood Reporter, was first to report Denis Villeneuve's Dune is closing in on a deal for Chalamet to play Dune's central figure, Paul Atreides.
Kyle MacLachlan most recently portrayed Atreides in David Lynch's 1984 adaptation. Incidentally, Chalamet will be 23-years old by the time production starts. MacLachlan was just 25 at the time.
Herbert's Dune is the first of six novels which tells the futuristic tale of noble houses grappling for control of a hostile planet — called Dune — which happens to contain the universe's only repository of a highly valuable spice. Chalamet will play the son of a noble family, Paul Atreides, who will become the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib. Paul's noble family is named stewards of Arrakis, whose sands are the only source of a powerful drug called "the spice." After his family is brought down in a traitorous plot, Paul must go undercover to seek revenge, and to bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.
It has been Villeneuve's longstanding dream to adapt Herbert's Dune with talk of his passion project pre-dating 2015's Arrival. Villeneuve's biggest hurdle was acquiring Studio rights, which were previously held by Paramount, who failed to reboot the series after a long-standing attempt dating back to 2010 with a pair of genre directors in Peter Berg and Pierre Morel (Taken). As they say, patience is a virtue.
Now that Legendary Studios closed a deal that grants rights for film and tv, fans will finally see Villeneuve's vision play out in what will be his second consecutive reboot of a beloved Sci-fi series next to his gorgeous dreamscape Blade Runner: 2049.
I can say without a doubt that Legendary's 'relaunching' comes an opportune time, not only for fans of Villeneuve's work, but as Herbert's material relates to today's socio-political and ecological climates. As someone who liked but didn't love Lynch's Dune, I'm all in. Especially if Roger Deakins joins Denis' trusted creative team.
Stay tuned for more casting news!

The query letter is typically the first contact an author makes with a potential agent or editor. Top publishing companies do not usually accept un-agented manuscripts, so the query letter is often the first step in the publication process. Although short, the query letter must persuade the agent or editor to read your manuscript and take you on. A well-crafted query letter can change your career! The rate is a flat fee of $50.
If you are going to have Sterling Editing review your query letter, we need to better understand your characters and story elements. Because of this, we also need a 2-3 page synopsis along with list of major characters. Please provide a few sentences to describe each major character.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013
Police are still trying to piece together the events
that ended in Mohammed Abdi being gunned down at Abercorn Sports Club
in the early hours of Sunday morning.
One theory they are pursuing
is that the gang thought he was helping police following a drugs
seizure at his former home earlier this month.
The gang hunting
him first visited the house they believed he was living at in Captain's
Drive, in Gracemount, late on Saturday evening. But he was not there and
windows appeared to have been shattered by gun shots.
confrontation then took place following an incident involving two
vehicles in Lochend, which police believe is connected to the chase.
It was followed by an incident in Niddrie, which sparked a high-speed, three-mile pursuit, which ended in the murder.
said the people carrier may have been in convoy with up to four other
vehicles driving erratically, speeding and running red lights.
detectives renewed appeals for sightings of a blue Volkswagen Sharan
involved in the chase, family friends of the dead man said that the
25-year-old student and part-time security guard had been "seduced" into
working with the Somali gang by their champagne lifestyle.
of the Elhag family, who have been friends with the victim for ten
years, said they had spoken to the driver of the car carrying Mohammed
during the high-speed pursuit – now under 24-hour police protection –
who witnessed the shooting.
They claimed the gang had set out to kill Mohammed after his Leith home was raided and crack cocaine seized.
The driver – a Libyan Scot who the Evening News is not naming – saw Mohammed smile at him as he fell to the ground.
Officers believe the VW, below, may have been in Captain's Drive, Gracemount, on Saturday evening.
Superintendent Gary Flannigan, who is leading the investigation, said:
"It may have a significant part to play in our inquiry and I am urging
anyone who saw a blue VW Sharan in that area on Saturday evening, or
heard a disturbance anytime between 9pm and midnight, to contact us."
chase ended when the people carrier smashed into railings on Abercorn
Avenue at around 1am on Sunday. Officers found Mohammed, who is not
believed to have been travelling in the VW vehicle, lying on the road.
Up to six men were travelling in the VW, possibly carrying baseball
After the people carrier crashed into railings on the
street, his friends said that Mohammed attacked one of the pursuing cars
with a baseball bat before being shot.
Police said that Mohammed
was shot "more than once" following the results of a post-mortem, and
that officers were working with other forces in the UK to identify the
The Elhag family said that a member of an eight-strong
Somali gang had been stabbed at the scene, and he was the man later
found bleeding heavily in nearby Paisley Crescent.
They said the Somali men had moved to Edinburgh from London and Glasgow about four months ago.
Two sisters from the family – whose brother was Mohammed's best friend – spoke of the horror attack at their Leith home.
said that the car driver had called their brother minutes after the
incident and both men rushed to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where Mohammed
had been taken. But they learned that he had been pronounced dead and
were taken away for questioning by police.
The 24-year-old sister,
who asked not to be named, said: "The bad guys from London and Glasgow
had four men in each of two cars. They had chased Mo and his friends
from Niddrie to where the crash happened. Mo was in the passenger seat
and there were two of his Somali friends in the back. They all got out
and Mo started hitting one of the bad guys' cars with a baseball bat. He
thought they were trying to kill him. He had the bat for protection,
but he had no idea they had a gun.
"One of the Somali men got stabbed in the fight. He was the person the police found.
"Then one of the guys shot Mo. [The driver] said that Mo had smiled at him after he was shot and was falling over.
of his friends tried to lift Mo up, but he was too heavy. They wanted
to get him to the car to take him to hospital. [The driver] called my
brother at home and told him the whole story."
The sister said that the driver told them a "professional hitman" had been brought in by the gang to kill Mohammed.
added: "The Somalis took advantage of Mo. They exploited the fact that
they were from Somalia, saying to him 'we're blood, we speak your
language'. They got him involved with drug dealing but he was not that
type of person.
"They were guys who were going to nightclubs and
'popping bottles' – spending lots of money on champagne – and trying to
impress the ladies. That's how Mo met them, he started chatting with
them in a club."
Police said that two different gangs were
involved in the confrontation in Willowbrae, with Mohammed belonging to
one of them. He was facing drug dealing charges after being arrested in a
raid earlier this month on his flat in Leith.
Mohammed's family fled war-torn Somalia for the UK more than ten years ago.
20-year-old sister said: "My brother was Mo's best friend. They were
more like brothers and we considered him a family member. Mo was always
at our house and loved my mother's cooking.
"He was a great guy.
"Mo was such a loyal friend and he had a pure white heart. Everyone who knew him loved him and respected him."
older sister said: "I was in Mo's computer classes at Drummond High
School. He was a joker and was always smiling. He was a very intelligent
person. We'd go with him to the Central Mosque for Friday prayers."
cousin, Mohammed Elhag, said: "He went to Drummond High School and was
now working for a security group. He was also studying painting and
decorating at Telford College. "His family moved to Birmingham about two
months ago, but his dad has been travelling between there and Edinburgh
as he is the second imam at the Edinburgh Central Mosque."
Mr Elhag said the police had interviewed him as he was the first to arrive at the hospital after the fatal incident.
said: "I was questioned by police because I was first to get to
hospital. My friend called me and told me that Abdi had been hurt, so I
went to the scene first, but no-one would tell me anything. Then I went
to the hospital and the police asked me how I knew that he was there, so
I told them someone had told me."
Neighbours reveal armed police officers descended on Abdi flat
officers armed with machine guns swooped on Mohammed Abdi's flat in
Leith in the hours after he was murdered, neighbours said today.
Armed response officers arrived at Buchanan Street at around 7.20am on Monday and descended on the victim's first-floor flat.
neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I opened my front door
and saw an officer holding a machine gun in the stairwell.
"Other officers with guns went up the stairs to his flat. They were inside for about 20 minutes."
resident said that he had called police last week, possibly on
Thursday, after a man was trying to break down Abdi's door.
said: "My buzzer went off and a man with an African accent said he had
forgot his key and could I buzz him in. I buzzed him but only a few
seconds later I heard banging downstairs.
"The guy was kicking the door in so I called the police. Officers came out but I'm not sure what happened after that."
Another neighbour said that three black men had been staying at the flat for the past two weeks.
was arrested following a raid at the flat. He appeared from custody in
court on May 3, charged with being involved in the supply of drugs.
was also charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and
offences under the Proceeds of Crime Act. After making no plea or
declaration, he was released on bail.
Operation Amend resulted in
the arrests of 25 people, along with the seizure of £300,000 worth of
drugs and almost £250,000 in cash.
'We have all been left devastated by his death'
The father of Mohammed Abdi last night paid tribute to his "much-loved" son.
Omar Abdi released a statement calling for those responsible for the death of his son to be brought to justice.
Abdi, 58, was described by worshippers at Edinburgh's Central Mosque as
being a "second imam" at the Mosque, who often led prayers for
He said he had been left "devastated" by the death of his son and called for anyone with information to come forward.

have all been left devastated by his death and we want those
responsible to be brought to justice so we can fully begin to grieve.
"I would ask anyone who knows anything about his murder to go to the police immediately.
"In order that we can mourn our loss, I would ask that the family's privacy is respected at this time."
Sajjad, who was an imam at the Central Mosque until June 2011, also
paid tribute, and said: "Mohammed Abdi was a very quiet and decent

At one point in a past business relationship, I had to say no to my customer. I had committed to the customer to present a training seminar without realizing the true nature of the training the customer wanted. When I realized what they really wanted, I realized that it was beyond my competency, so I called the customer to say I would have to pass on the job. The customer was very angry, but I couldn't understand why. After all, would he have wanted me to agree to a job which I wasn't qualified to perform? Still, he was very angry, so I asked my business consultant for his input. He told me that the reason the customer was angry was because he thought he had a solution to a problem, but suddenly it was yanked away from him. My consultant told me that, while I was right to pass on the job, I should have also contacted my competitors to find someone who could do the job and made arrangements with them to present the training before I called the customer. You see, I now realize that I did the right thing in passing on the job, but by not offering an alternative, I left my customer hanging. That's never a good thing to do. Think of how we feel when someone does that to us. At best it's annoying, but at worst, it's frustrating and even maddening. No wonder my customer was angry.
The lesson learned is simple and very important. There are going to be times when we have to say no to a customer…an end user. When we have to say no, we must first work to understand the business reasons for the request and then be prepared with an alternative or a full explanation.
For example, suppose an end user wants to set up a network share on her laptop computer, but a group policy object has been configured to prevent that and she wants you to create an exception. Such a share violates company policy due to security and backup issues and you may not even have the authorization or permission to modify group policy settings. You can, however, set up a network share for her workgroup on a workgroup server. Start by trying to understand the business need for the share. Say something like, "Help me understand what the share is for." Once you understand the business reason for the share, you think a network share on a server might solve the problem. You might say something like, "I'm sorry I can't set that up for you on your computer because it violates company policy on security and data backup, but I can set up a share for you on a network server that will do exactly the same thing. Will that work for you?"
Of course, it's also important to consider who is making the request. For example, if a C-level executive or a manager is making the request, the answer is usually yes. In that type of situation, you should also immediately make your supervisor aware of the request and your actions in response to the request.
If responding to the request is beyond your scope of responsibility or outside of your authority, you should explain that and then immediately offer to escalate.
As with every aspect of customer service, we must always put ourselves in the customer's position. Imagine how you would feel if someone had to say no to you. Wouldn't we want to be offered alternatives or, at the very least, a reasonable explanation of why the request had to be turned down. Certainly, we must also remember to respond with empathy and compassion for our customer, our fellow human who's trying to do his or her job. We must always remember that we in information systems and technology are the liaisons between our customers, our end users, and the software and systems we support.

Beach Art
Came across the artist Andy Coutanche today whilst browsing Coast magazine, Andy is from Jersey and he is a sand artist and will soon be competing in the My Memory beach art championships.
I don't think he has a website but I did find this video.
Also competing is the San Francisco artist Andres Amador who makes some amazing patterns in the sand.
I don't think he has a website but I did find this video.

Wow, these images are wonderful, what a talented artist. Ive seen a lot of sand art on the North coast of Brittany Coast but nothing like this. I must look out for more of his work as I love landscape art. Thanks for pointing this out.ReplyDelete
I also love landscape art but when I think of sand art I immediately think sculptural. I think it looks amazing, and he is so fluid with the rake. I would love to go and watch the beach art championships unfortunately Jersey is a little far away!!ReplyDelete

End of Season Charity
Sail 2011
We set up the show in the rain (as usual for the End of Season Show) but this time it didn't want to stop and we had strong winds and rain for most of day, it didn't dampen the spirits of the hardy souls who braved the elements to make it yet another great event in the Richmond calendar though.
Captain Ron tried his best to drown his left leg in his leaking waders when putting out the harbours, and Malcolm and his team struggled in the wind to erect the gazebo`s but everything was done with great enthusiasm and a brilliant sense of humour. It`s a testament to the dedication shown to the club by the members, when you consider that on the previous day, some of them supported the Scottish Maritime Museum Event.
Despite the bad weather, a steady stream of visitors made their way to the show,
including the kids from Oatlands' who had a ball with the hands on boats. The Tug towing event was particularly well enjoyed, with a very well loaded Peter Shepherd and the strong winds putting the tug skippers through their paces, luckily she didn't have the port list as she did during the Tug-In or she would have been a real handful.
The Nipsters certainly didn't complain of lack of wind though, and the nips fairly flew around the course.
The Tombola was a particular success with some fantastic prizes up for grabs, including a booby prize of a log! won by Colin Miller.
All in all, another great day. We would like to thank everyone who took part, including Derek and Jean for running the Tombola, Agnes and Pamela for once again doing the catering, Ronnie for the hands on boats and also to all who donated the Tombola prizes.
The dedication to the club by so many members never ceases to amaze me, putting on our public shows is getting easier each season and it`s all down to the enthusiasm of the members.
A "VERY WELL DONE" to you all.
Kindest Regards
Pictures of the event, can be had here.

Tree Repairs
I have added this page to try and show what we deal with on a daily basis. Over the years these cars and trucks have passed through lots of hands. Some of the previous owners have tried to restore or repair them. In the worst cases they have actually paid a "professional" (and I use that word very loosely) to perform the repairs for them. These "surprises" will be added as we find them, I know we haven't seen them all yet.
Filler hole
(picture is sideways) This is a gas filler hole on a late 50's Chevy truck. After we cut out the filler hole this fell out. Someone took a large piece of sheet metal slapped it behind the hole and proceeded to gob some weld on it. After that it was hidden under about 1/2" of filler. The other pictures show how we took care of this ugly bit of craftsmanship.
Cut a repair patch to the correct size and form the metal to the contour of the existing panel. Note this patch isnt just "close" it fits the hole exactly. This will allow me to butt weld the patch flush to the truck.
Patch spot welded in position
all welds are ground down and with a little hammer and dolly work we will need only a light coat of filler to smooth out the panel. Any question on quality? I didn't think so. Total time = 1 hr.
Fender Skirt
Although this picture isn't very good, you can still see the nearly 3/8" gap between the fender and the skirt (note the very bottom also). This fender has been repaired without any regard to it's original contour. It's our job now to make the skirts fit like it never happened. Impossible? no way!
You thought the last one was bad? The rear of the skirt is nearly 3/4" from fitting!
This picture shows the front repair. The consistent black line is the rubber skirt welting that keeps the skirt from rattling and squeaking.
With the skirt welting in place but not yet attached or trimmed you can already see how much better everything fits. Not only that, we used almost no filler to finish off the skirts for paint. The owner was very happy with the results.
Side marker light
Repairs like these always amaze me. Here is a side marker in a mustang rear fender. The problem is that it's a late '68 fender on a early '68 mustang. This whole rear fender was replaced at sometime on this car but installing the wrong type was only the first problem. They went to all the trouble of replacing the rear fender but just filled the indentation with filler. We popped the filler out in one piece with a screwdriver! Watch as we repair it as it never happened!

In an interview with "60 Minutes," President Donald Trump promises "severe punishment" if the Saudis killed Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi.
Lesley Stahl interviewed Trump at the White House on Thursday. Other topics included tariffs, China, North Korea, Russia, NATO, global warming and the president's treatment of the Brett Kavanaugh accuser.
The interview will air at 7:30 p.m. Sunday — note the late start because of football.
It is Trump's first interview with "60 Minutes" since he talked to Stahl after his victory in the 2016 election.
CBS News shared a clip on Saturday's edition of "CBS This Morning." Trump said the Saudis could be behind the disappearance of Khashoggi and that the matter is especially serious because "this man was a reporter."
Stahl asks: "Was he murdered by the Saudis? And did the prince give the order to kill him?"
"It's being investigated, it's being looked at very, very strongly," Trump said. "As of this moment, they deny it and they deny it vehemently. Could it be them? Yes."
Trump added that the Saudis denied the killing in a phone interview with his son, Jared Kushner.
"They deny it. They deny it every way you can imagine," Trump said. "In the not-too-distant future I think we'll know an answer."
Trump sounded reluctant to cut off a Saudi order for military equipment to punish that country.
Latest TV Guy
"Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon — I don't want to hurt jobs. I don't want to lose an order like that," the president said. "There are other ways of punishing, to use a word that's a pretty harsh word, but it's true."
"There's a lot at stake," especially because Khashoggi was a reporter, the president said.
"You'll be surprised to hear me say that. There's something really terrible and disgusting about that — if that was the case, so we're going to have to see," he said. "We're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment."

Question: husband is like Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde
|mathair4 - Tue Jun 30, 2009 7:52 pm
My husband is 43. I think he may be schizophrenic. He is rarely in a good mood. If he does try to remain calm and "normal" it can change in a matter of minutes. If he perceives that someone else has made the slightest error, such as missed one spot while doing chores he LITERALLY flies into something like a muderous rage! His moods every day are completely unpredictable and illogical, like he doesn't react to anything like a normal person would. For example we went out of town last week and he was in a great mood and got tired and asked me to drive for a while. He took a nap and when we got to our destination he woke up and first thing jumped out of the van, cursing and screaming right in front of our hotel that he didn't want to go on the trip, that he wanted to get back in the car and turn around and go home, and for the entire trip he wouldn't hardly speak to us. We went to a restaurant on this trip at his request, walked up to order our food and he turned around and walked out shouting obscenities and yelling that he wasn't going to eat any dinner! THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME in public and it's so embarassing. Or another example, he'll come to the dinner table, scream that he hates the food I made and throw the dishes against the wall and smash them. His temper is frighteningly violent and he said if I ever leave him he'll kill us all and burn the house down. Another thing I noticed is that he holds entire conversations by himself after an argument with someone else i.e. he'll ask questions AND answer them to himself the way he perceives the other person is thinking. Like this: "Why didn't you take out the garbage today? Well, because I'm lazy and stupid, and I don't give a crap about anybody but myself that's why!" And he always takes things that other people say to him completely wrong when a normal person would have understood them fine. For example I'll say, "man, am I tired from work today." And he'll respond something like "so you're saying you don't want to have sex- you probably don't even want me around. You want a divorce? " I am not exagerrating at all!! What could be wrong with him? He has been a crack addict in the past but has been in recovery for five years. And I seriously doubt he is using. Could his brain be damaged? He is currently taking Xanax for anxiety but I think that may not be the problem. He also smokes pot. I don't know what to do- he doesn't think anything is wrong with him.

There is no doubt your husband suffers from some kind of mental/behavioral disorder. An accurate diagnosis can take a little while because there are so many overlapping symptoms with various disorders. Using pot could definitely contribute to his mood and personality but I can't say if this is the case for him. Everyone is different.
In response to the drug use - yes, there could be damage. We do not know the full extent that might occur in the future from use of illicit substances.
These symptoms can also suggest other disorders such as Bipolar II, which often manifests in erratic behavior - markedly elevated or irritable mood he does not see as unusual. If he has something like this, treatment would be different than that for anxiety.
A complete physical and psychiatric workup would be indicated but how you would talk him into it is anyone's guess. He should have physical conditions such as thyroid disorder checked out first and if that is normal, the mental health evaluation would be recommended.
Most people in this situation do not recognize it in themselves. It is helpful for a psychiatrist to gather history and symptoms from family members; not just from the patient himself.
If your husband balks at any suggestion of mental health care, perhaps starting with an overall physical exam would work. You can let the doctor know in advance some of your concerns so he/she can watch for symptoms, but he/she will not be able to discuss with you the outcome and any details that he shares with the doctor without your husband's consent. He can gather information you volunteer, however.
You are correct that this behavior is not acceptable and if you decide leaving is your only option it would be good to discuss this with a crisis worker, perhaps at a shelter where you could plan intelligently to assure your safety.
Best wishes.

I would like to state right off the bat that I am not a doctor or nurse, nor do I have any expertise in the medical field.
I myself have Bipolar Disorder. I can be happy one second, very very angry the next. I threaten things I don't mean, like saying I'm going to leave my boyfriend or I'm going to kill myself so I'm not causing anyone anymore stress. I throw things when I get irritated, and I am quick to yell at anyone near me about anything that has pissed me off. My moods fluctuate so much that I can not remember the last time I've been completely happy for more than 10 minutes. I calm down, apologize, become happy for a while, and then it starts all over again.
I used to be hard in to drugs, specifically marijuana. I had to be "high" every second of the day or I would go crazy. I had a very major thing happen right before this, and I haven't been "normal" since.
I have been clean from marijuana and alcohol for almost 3 years, but I haven't stopped having horrible mood swings. My mental state has even gotten worse with time. Now I don't go anywhere because I have horrible anxiety attacks whenever I'm in public.
I do personally think that drugs are a cause for many people's mood swings, even after stopping. As an ex-user of drugs, I think it's because during the time you're "high", nothing in the world bothers you and you become in an almost permanent state of mind that makes you think you're always happy. When you quit these drugs, you realize more of the real world and no longer have the "get-away" you used to, so you become very moody.
Again, this is just my opinion. Not a medical diagnoses.
As for your husband being angry so often, I would be worried. If he doesn't get mental treatment for his anger, as well as his Bipolar Disorder, you may end up with serious consequences. My ex-boyfriend used to be the same way. He'd throw things and break things, get angry over the smallest of things, and pretty much was angry at anything that was involved in his life. I shrugged it off to hormones and stress.
What made me come to and leave is the fact that I drove him to our house one night after he'd been out drinking. He started screaming at me because I wasn't going fast enough. When we finally got home, he shoved me in to a wall. I let it be and he shoved me again. I told him to knock it off and he threw me in to the wall so hard I went through the one side of it. He then proceeded to rip my 5 month old daughter out of my arms and tried to run away with her. His friend stopped him and grabbed my daughter and took her to a neighbors. My ex got very mad, grabbed his rifle, and put it to my head. The cops were called by the neighbors, so he punched me in my face as hard as he could and ran outside to go after the neighbors with the rifle. He heard the cops come and attempted to kill them as well. He went to jail that night. I stayed until he got home. He said he was sorry and I acted like everything was fine for a week. I used that week to plan things out in my head for me and my daughter's safe escape. I used the time he was at work to organize (which I told him I was cleaning and re-organizing the house) so I could get away fast. The next week, as soon as he left for work, I packed me and my daughters things and left. I went to live with my dad for a few months to make sure I was safe.
As stated above, that's my opinion and own personal experience. I do not want to see the same thing happen to another person. I'm NOT saying this WILL happen with your husband. I'm just letting you see the bad side of what could happen.
I hope you do get away if you feel as though he's going to hurt you or someone else. There are many places that shelter women and children from abusive husbands, as well family members and friends who would be more than happy to protect you.
|Faye Lang, RN, MSW - Wed Jul 21, 2010 1:50 pm
Hello, MsLyxie,
Thank you for sharing your experience. You ensured the safety of your daughter and yourself, and broke out of an abusive and dangerous situation, and you are to be congratulated. For others who may read your post, there are often women's shelters available to live in while other arrangements are made, as well as legal services. The police should be called whenever abusive or physically violent behavior occurs.
I hope you are doing well.

Partnering with a global super biking brand 'Hyosung, DSK entered the super biking industry and conceptualised DSK Motowheels in the year 2012. Sachin Bhaiya, Marketing Head, DSK tells Deepankar Hemnani about the brand's future plans.
Partnering with a global super biking brand 'Hyosung, DSK entered the super biking industry and conceptualised DSK Motowheels in the year 2012. The conglomerate which has already witnessed admirable heights in real estate, construction, information technology, robotics, animation cinema, education, etc also joined hands with the Italian super bike maker Benelli in the year 2015 to present its 105 year old racing lineage in India. Sachin Bhaiya, Marketing Head, DSK Benelli and DSK Hyosung tells Deepankar Hemnani about the brand's future plans.
Please tell us the journey of Benelli and Hyosung with DSK so far?
The journey so far has been quite enticing and valuable for the company. We have learned a lot in terms of the shift in the superbike market in the last four years since the inception of DSK Motowheels in 2012. Today, we stand strong as the second largest superbike brand in terms of volume, with 32 sales and service outlets across India. We have the widest foot prints in the Indian superbike industry, where the competition is going stronger with more and more players coming in. Our association with Benelli has been similarly rewarding. Benelli is a 105 years old Italian brand, with a strong racing heritage, it is also one of the few companies which saw two world wars, and has never gone out of production.
India is continuously witnessing global biking brands venturing into the Indian market. What makes your brands stand apart in the Indian market?
The reason that two brands Benelli and Hyosung stand apart compared to other brands is the determination and willingness of DSK Motowheels to offer these fantastic and richly power packed products at a very competitive pricing, giving us the competitive edge over others. We ensure that you receive a comprehensive, well-rounded user experience that incorporates into both, before and after-sales services. Our consumer-centric initiatives such as the DSK first, DSK Expert and 24X7 roadside assistance ensure that we deliver the best customer experience possible.
Do you think that the Indian consumer is evolving in terms of opting between global brands? What are the factors that they keep in mind?
Definitely, over a period of time there has been a drastic shift in the way consumers choose a motorcycle, and this shift was recognised after more and more players started entering the Indian market with a variety of motorcycles catering to different genres of riding. Given their increased aspirational requirements, quality and performance at a competitive price point are amongst the foremost things that Indian consumers look for while buying a superbike.
What are your plans for expansion in India?
We have recently launched the first 250cc Italian superbike, the Benelli TNT 25 in India, which has also received excellent response from the market. Since the launch, we stand tall today with 15 sales and service points across India, which is also the largest in the industry after DSK Hyosung. To take things a notch higher, we are looking forward to setup 15 more showrooms pan- India by the end of 2016 and are all geared up to add another four versatile products in our Indian portfolio.

From NumbersUsa:
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. is developing a pilot program to pitch mortgages to illegal immigrants in Maricopa County, Ariz. If the bank proceeds, the plan could launch as soon as this summer. The New York bank joins Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Fifth Third Bancorp, which also are experimenting with the loans.How can they be more likely to pay their mortgages, if they get deported?
Genworth Financial Inc., meanwhile, is testing insurance products tied to the loans. Deutsche Bank AG has teamed up with the Hispanic National Mortgage Association to develop a secondary market where big banks can sell and trade the loans, potentially reducing risk with keeping the mortgages on their balance sheets.[snip]
Because illegal immigrants don't have Social Security numbers, the banks are accepting government-issued tax-identification numbers for loan applications. The Internal Revenue Service started issuing the nine-digit Income Tax Identification Number, known as an ITIN, in the late 1990s as a way to encourage foreigners without Social Security numbers to file tax returns. To meet "know-your-customer" requirements, banks often require ITIN borrowers to open a bank account before they approve the loan.[snip]
The loans carry a variety of terms and conditions. Interest rates are sometimes higher than traditional mortgages and usually have a 30-year fixed rate or adjustable rate. Instead of relying on credit history, which may not exist for people who often use cash for their purchases, banks typically pay close attention to employment history.
Providing financial services to illegal immigrants is drawing criticism. Supporters say illegal immigrants contribute to the economy, often pay taxes and can help bring rundown communities back to life. Opponents contend that such lending can be risky because they know little about these borrowers' ability to repay the loans.
J.P. Morgan's pilot program, called "Building a Dream," is generating dissension among some of the bank's underwriters who are reluctant to handle the loans for fear that they violate federal law by encouraging illegal immigrants to stay in the country, said a person familiar with the situation.
A J.P. Morgan spokesman said the bank hasn't made a final decision about the plan. "We have been looking at a pilot program to offer mortgages to customers with ITINs because we want to find ways to serve all portions of the customer base," the spokesman said. He confirmed that the pilot was to begin this week, but that it has been delayed as the bank continues to assess the program. He declined to elaborate.
In Maricopa County, which includes the city of Phoenix, the sheriff, whose office has arrested hundreds of illegal immigrants, said banks providing these loans are taking on a risky proposition.
"If I catch these people, they are going back to Mexico and the banks will have a tough time collecting on their loans," said Sheriff Joseph Arpaio.
Banks remain cautious as they continue to monitor the results of their programs. Wells Fargo is assessing its pilot, called "Celebrate Home," which started in 2005 in California's Los Angeles and Orange counties.
Banks are dabbling in these loans at the same time they are trying to limit their exposure to the $1.3 trillion subprime market, which is roiling the industry. Proponents of the ITIN loans say undocumented immigrants are often more likely to pay their mortgages than other borrowers. "Once they get a piece of the American dream, they will do any and everything to make sure that bill is taken care of because it is the only asset they've got," Mr. Sandos said.
I hope you are as outraged as I am about this nonsense.

Researchers have found the best way of repaying debts
Table of Contents
Researchers from Harvard University came to the conclusion that the so-called "snowball" method is very effective when it comes to the repayment of debts, states Business Insider. According to the data, provided by the Federal Reserve System, almost half of the families in the U.S. cannot repay their debts. The data, used by the researchers came from HelloWallet, a company specialized in financial services. The research was based on data, that was received in 36 months, including monthly credit card data of 6.000 HelloWallet clients, who were determined to pay down their accounts or at least manage them effectively. It appeared that those who were focused on discharging one certain credit were more effective than those who tried to distribute their payments among multiple debts.
Snowball method
The researchers arranged an experiment to prove their theory, according to which the interest rate after the repayment is much more important than the actual payment amount. The participants were given a task to pay off virtual "debts". The first experiment was aimed at finding out what was more effective: paying off credits that carry highest or the lowest interest rates. Some of the participants had their credits divided into 5 separate accounts, while the rest had just one account to pay off. At that they were all promised financial reward in case they successfully paid off all their debts. The participants were divided into 2 groups, first of which was supposed to pay down multiple accounts one at a time, and those who had to repay one and the same debt. The experiment proved that those who had to repay just one single account showed 15% better results than their counterparts. The second experiment was aimed at testing the thesis, according to which the people, who were focused on the repayment of one single account are more effective in their efforts than those who tried to wipe off several accounts. Additionally, this group of participants had higher motivation.
Start repaying debts
Start paving your way to financial independence from the creation of a safety bag. Set a relevant goal on Cubux.net, which will automatically calculate the amount that you need to save each month to have your safety bag ready by the predetermined date.
In the course of the third experiment, the researchers found out that neither the payment amount nor the remaining account influence the speed of repayment. They came to the conclusion that people are best motivated by the fact that a part of debts is already successfully wiped out. Thus, the group, focused on the repayment of credits with the lowest balance was more successful than its counterpart.
Scheme of debt repayment
One of the organizers of the experiment suggests the following scheme of debt repayment:
- Calculate an amount that you can spend to the repayment of your debt at the present moment. The more you repay now, the less you'll have to pay in the future.
- Find out how much money can be added to the minimal amount of monthly payments.
- Start paying off your debts from the largest to the smallest ones. the same rule applies to interest rates and minimal monthly payments.

The US space agency NASA says that the Chandran-2 record lander made a hard landing on the surface of the moon. Along with this, contact with him was broken.
NASA has said that its team is trying to contact Chandrayan-2, but has not been successful yet.
A US space agency has said that a Chandrayaan-2 lander attempted to land on September 7 but a soft landing could not take place.
NASA has released pictures of Vikander Lander's landing site, but the agency has not been able to locate Vikram Lander.
These photos were taken by NASA's orbiter, where the record lander could not be found because it is currently dark.
NASA says that when the light goes up in October, the orbiter will once again send pictures of Vikram Lander's location.
What happened on September 7?
On September 7, Chandrayaan-2's contact with record lander broke shortly before landing on the Moon.
Chairman of ISRO. Sivan said after the mission, "The record lander was going as planned and everything was normal until 2.1 kilometers away from the surface."
"However, contact with him was later lost. Data is being reviewed."
'Vikram' was to land on the moon between 1:30 pm and 2:30 pm on September 7.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru to witness the achievement of an Indian astronaut and to boost his enthusiasm.
Everything was going well and the scientists were keeping an eye on the lander record every moment of approaching the surface.
However, at the funerals, the center of ISRO became a tense situation, and a line of worry began to appear on the faces of the scientists.
After some time, the chairman of ISRO came to the Prime Minister and informed him about the matter.
After that, the chairman of ISRO informed the country that contact with Chandrayaan-2's Vikram Lander had been broken.
No record location information
These pictures were taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). These cameras passed over the landing site on September 17th.
These pictures were taken 150 km from the center. NASA has said that the record lander's location could not be found.
NASA said on its website that it was dark when the pictures were taken, it is likely that the record lander did not appear in the shadows.
NASA has said that the exact location of the spacecraft landed at this time is unclear.
This was India's first attempt to make a soft landing on the surface of the moon but it did not succeed.
Vikram Lander tried to land on a flat surface but could not do as expected and his contact with ISRO was broken.
