Captivating new crime drama in which the victims having starring roles
★★★★ BBC1, day, date to be announced
CASTING Stellan Skarsgärd as a British detective was a bold but canny move by the makers of this intriguing thriller. If you want a performer who can play a troubled soul, then who better than a man from the land of long winter days and Ingmar Bergman, a director whose fave themes were death, bleakness and insanity?
Death is also the theme of River and Skarsgard also a Swede, familiar from movie hits such as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Mamma Mia! He is terrific in this unusual series as Detective Inspector John River, a cranky cop traumatised by the shooting of his partner.
What starts off as a police procedural abruptly swerves into unusual territory when we realise River is no ordinary cop. The reason he is grumpy – and brilliant – is that he is haunted by the dead.
Eddie Marsan as a Victorian killer
If that sounds a bit Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), don't be put off. This series, written by Emmy award-winner Abi Morgan (The Hour, The Iron Lady), is far more emotionally affecting.
The people who invade River's mind are the murder victims of his cases, in addition – bizarrely – to a serial killer from annals of Victorian crime called the Lambeth Poisoner. Eddie Marsan is suitably disturbing in this role.
River is seen talking to himself – actually to the dead – and is viewed as a bit of a nut by most officers around the police station. He hangs onto his job because of his 80 percent clear-up rate.
Nicola Walker is River's ex-partner
While the story is good at exploring grief and loss, it is buoyed up by some beautifully funny moments. Nicola Walker (Last Tango in Halifax) is wonderful as River's ex-partner, Stevie, all fast food and disco songs. And Adeel Akhtar – unforgettable in C4's Utopia – turns up as another put-upon character, Ira, who is assigned to be River's new partner.
Chalk and cheese doesn't begin to cover it, and their scenes together veer between very funny and quite moving.
With so many fine performers and such an emotionally nuanced story, River is a notch above so many mainstream crime series out there.

Stellan Skarsgård is pacing down a corridor in a dank building in London's Docklands. The rooms on either side of him are full of random clusters of unloved office chairs, the floor tiles are grim. Menace seems to hang in the air. As the cameras roll, the Swedish actor makes occasional stops, in order to speak to no one at all. Or at least no one who can be seen.
A second take: this time, he is talking to a person walking beside him. Next, he's waiting for a lift, again conversing with thin air. And then suddenly the lift pings unexpectedly – and out wanders Eddie Marsan, straight into the shot. He stops in his tracks with a cheeky grin spreading across his face – like if he doesn't move, maybe no one can see him. He's just been down the shops. It's a moment of light relief in what has been an intense shoot. Someone yells "Cut!" and everyone wanders off to corner offices and meeting rooms.
Doubling as a police station, this steel-and-glass monstrosity is, for today at least, the set of River, Abi Morgan's new cop series.

BBC drama River was chance to explore mental health issues, says writer
But then River, about to air on BBC1, isn't your traditional procedural. It melds psychodrama with hallucination and paranoia – and has only the very occasional good old-fashioned duffing up of a suspect in a dark alley. Skarsgård, who was Professor Lambeau in Good Will Hunting and Bootstrap Bill in Pirates of the Caribbean, plays John River, a troubled detective who experiences lucid visions. Understandably, these interfere with his police work, which he conducts with partner Stevie, played by Nicola Walker. River struggles with his cases, mostly murders, as he frequently sees the victims for whom he's seeking justice. The idea of the damaged detective who gets results is hardly new. But there's an otherworldliness that sets River apart.
"I had the idea a few years ago," says Morgan. "I love Truly, Madly, Deeply. I thought it was such a beautiful way of examining grief. So I never wanted River to be psychic: they're not ghosts he sees, but manifestations of his grief, just as I never believed Alan Rickman was a real ghost in Truly, Madly, Deeply. I like the gag of it. You think it's a cop show, but it's not. It's like, 'How do you fuck up the logic of a cop show?' The types are all in there: the old, world-weary cop, the younger sidekick. The stereotypes. I'm hopefully showing the idiosyncrasies underneath. It's also about the fragile mental health we all experience. We all have moments when we're fragile."
Morgan embarked on the first episode with the hope of getting someone Hollywood but credible involved, in much the same way as True Detective starred Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. Skarsgård came on board almost immediately, after Morgan and producer Jane Featherstone flew to meet him in Stockholm. He then, says Morgan, became "the muse" of the piece. "He's one of the most authentic people I've ever met. And he's got that Scandi thing going on that's slightly 'other'. He's quite magical – truthful, yet magical. He's a Viking."
Adeel Akhtar, who plays a befuddled fellow detective, says Skarsgård can be brooding and actorly one minute, all poop jokes the next. I finally meet "the Viking" during a brief break from filming. He's sitting on a burst sofa in a tatty glass box of a meeting room. The "green room" is another glass box facing this one, stuffed full of actors and dry cleaning. There's an iron. It all feels a long way from Hollywood.

"I've been offered police series so many times," says Skarsgård. "I always turned them down, because the procedural side bores the shit out of me. But here, that stuff is in the background. In the foreground are the man's psychological difficulties." Indeed, what's central is a gnawing sense of people adrift in grief, notably River, who is almost broken by it. The theme of friendship is equally strong, the chemistry between Skarsgård and Walker warm and genuine. They eat fast food, sing karaoke and, as Morgan notes, "talk about nothing" just like real people.
Skarsgård did not, however, just turn up and do as he was told. "I would complain when I wasn't happy and we'd talk about it. I let everybody know exactly what I think about everything, all the time. Sometimes she used what I said, sometimes not. But we haven't been co-writing. She's the writer. And she's good."
Eddie Marsan as Thomas Cream in River.
Among the more peculiar aspects of the show is Eddie Marsan's character, Dr Thomas Cream, a real-life serial killer from the 19th century who was known as the Lambeth Poisoner. River is reading a book about him only to find Cream appear, waxed moustache and all, in his darker visions, taunting him. In one brutal scene, River attacks Cream, but only succeeds in bloodying his knuckles on a wall. He comes to symbolise River's self-doubt and anger..
"He was the little mosquito I put in the script for myself," says Morgan. "The bit of fun for me. I was googling these incredible quotes about death, but they were way too florid for any character. So I gave myself this one person who could get away with it. He spews Plato and Aristotle. He's like tickertape running in River's mind. I wanted to explore the psychosis of a murderer – and this was a way."
River takes Skarsgård through a grimy, twilight world of kebab shops, neon karaoke bars, drive thrus, strip-lit stores and housing estate stairwells. Aren't life-like hallucinations, I ask him, just a bit too high concept, within the framework of a cop show?
"It gives a lot of freedom to Abi as a storyteller," he replies. "She can bring in dead people, bring in whoever she wants to create some disorder and change the pace of normal television storytelling. Abi's writing is not normal television writing. It's complicated: there has to be a basis of police procedural, but it must never take over. Otherwise, the air leaves the balloon. Then it's a normal TV series. And then I wouldn't be in it."
River starts on BBC1 on 13 October.

Hi Andrew: I now (revision 11621) have good results (no errors, no warning messages related to const, and the same C comparison results as before) for all languages with Swig-generated bindings. The last one (Octave) was much more difficult than the rest because of all the special my_* API variants that are present in our current Octave bindings. Could you please put on your ToDo list to take a critical look at these my_* API variants for Octave? I suspect a number of those are not that useful and could be dropped so that we could have simpler and easier-to-maintain Octave bindings going forward. I have also decided (revision 11622) to retire the matwrapped Octave bindings. The swig-generated Octave bindings are superior in all respects that I am aware of. Also, I certainly don't want to deal with const issues (whatever those might be) for the matwrapped Octave bindings, and I doubt anybody else wants to do that either. This completes the swig-related part of the const modifier project although to finish off the entire project there are still some const-related compiler warnings I will be dealing with.

A lot can go wrong on a work experience placement. Your allotted tasks may be tedious, or too stressful. Or you could simply panic and humiliate yourself in a transparent effort to seem employable.
I'm still traumatised by my internship with the Times digital design team a few years ago. I was an English student with no knowledge of digital design and I spent three long days sweating in front of an Apple mac before I finally owned up and told them. To this day I have no idea why they let me into their office.
Of course, I'm not the only one. Students share some of their work experience mistakes, as well as what they learned from the experience.
'I thought it went well, until I realised my flies were undone'
A journalism student at Southampton Solent University, who wishes to remain anonymous, says it's important to pay attention to detail when you get dressed for the office. "On my second day I was thrust into a large exhibition room filled with people, including the managing director of the company," he says. "I had to give a speech to introduce myself and I was nervous. When it was over I was pleased that it had gone well, until I realised that my flies had been undone the whole time. That explained the smirks on their faces."
'I had to stay underground until someone realised and let me out'
Lorna Stanley, 21, a student at the University of the West of England, was on placement at a doctor's surgery when she accidentally shut herself in the office basement for two hours. "I was doing some admin and the filing cabinets for the patients' notes were in the cellar," she says. "So I went downstairs to file them away. The doors to the cellar lock automatically and I forgot the code to get out. I was stuck in the cellar and the ceiling was really low so I couldn't stand up properly. I didn't have any phone signal because I was underground so I had to stay down there until someone realised."
'I couldn't name any of the plants'
Emily Collins, a fourth-year biology student at the University of York, felt "a bit clueless" when she began her placement at the National Park in North Yorkshire. "I was given the job to identify some plant species and I couldn't name any of them, which was embarrassing. That night I went home and bought myself a guide to wild flowers and tried to practice naming them when I went out for a walk," she says. "I also reminded myself that my supervisor had been an ecologist for over 30 years so of course knew a lot more than me."
'A lot of people think they're better than the intern'
"I once worked for someone who spilled coffee over their desk and demanded I clean it up," says Hannah Shaw, 21, a third-year marketing student at Leeds Beckett University. "A lot of people think they're better than the intern even though most of them started in a similar position. If you're not happy, it's good to volunteer to do other tasks, or see if you can move departments."
'I tweeted about my work experience in excitement and then felt mortified'
It's tempting to resort to social media to communicate with people, especially if you're shy. But in some cases this can do more harm than good. Jack May, 20, a third-year English student at the University of Cambridge, interned at the Huffington Post. He says: "I'm a fan of the journalist Mehdi Hasan and he was sitting about four desks away from me. In my excitement I tweeted that I was lucky enough to be working just a few desks away from him. A few minutes past and then someone from the social media desk peered over their screen across the room, and asked 'who's this Jack May person?' I was mortified."
'In my Powerpoint presentation the animations wouldn't run and the videos didn't have any sound'
Asking for assistance won't make you look bad, but mistakes might. Emily Healey, 18, a student at the University of Exeter, was interning at a grammar school where she tried to show off her independence. "I was allowed to plan, prepare and teach a whole lesson on space," she says. "I had completely free reign and spent three hours putting together a Powerpoint full of animations and videos. During the presentation, none of the animations would run and the videos didn't have any sound. The students ended up watching a silent video that cut between a not very spectacular eclipse and Brian Cox's face.
"I learned not to worry about asking for help and to ask lots of questions. If you feel like you're being annoying, just remember that whoever you're annoying probably won't remember if you ever return there to work."
'I was emailed a list of the staff's tea and coffee preferences before I arrived'
As an intern, there are some tasks you might not be able to avoid. "Before my placement they emailed me a list of the staff's tea and coffee preferences," says Georgina Wilson, a recent graduate from Oxford University. "I felt it made it clear exactly where I was in the pecking order."

This paper evaluates a structure learning method for Bayesian networks called Stepwise Structure Learning with Probabilistic pruning (SSL-Pro). Probabilistic pruning allows this method to obtain appropriate network structures while reducing computational time for structure learning. Computer experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the SSL-Pro. Results showed that the SSL-Pro generally provided favorable performance, and revealed several parameter-setting guidelines to ensure reasonable learning.

I did a lot of running, weight lifting and sports while in college and quite possibly the biggest take away message I learned after those four years is the benefit of consistency. Broken up into semesters or trimesters, college careers are all about starting and stopping and starting again. Be it studying, team sports, or social life, it was a constant battle of relearning old habits.
I noticed at the end of every 3 months, I had relearned my skills just in time for them to be useless again. Studying Organic Chemistry for 3 months just to never take another chemistry class. Or 3 months of intensive sprint training just to spend a month eating christmas food and staying away from the cold. Whatever good habits I (re)developed would be forgotten during one of the numerous breaks just to be followed up with a more excruciating semester right after.
upping my game
One summer I decided to break myself of my old ways and enrolled in a full time class schedule and joined a athletic team that ramped up practices during the summer. It started out hard. Very hard. My body was used to being rewarded with bountiful amounts of downtime after working so hard mentally and physically for a block of 3 months. Instead I took one of the hardest classes in my major and joined a team that loved practicing at noon during Texas summers.
Getting past the beginning couple of weeks, things got easier rather quickly. In fact, the fist few weeks weren't that hard either. Just had to remind myself that this was familiar and I just had to keep it up. Instead of starting all over, I just had to learn how to keep going. In the past I had become accustomed to putting in a lot of energy at the beginning of each semester just to get back to the groove of a normal schedule. Each beginning had been taking so much energy out of me that I became tired and burned out much quicker, meaning I was needing each following break to recoup.
"Its a lot easier to keep up than catch up"
This time, however, I found keeping my head up and moving forward meant I wasn't gasping for air and burned out after just a couple of months. Actually, I found motivation in it. I knew that if I just kept myself where I was and didn't even focus on improving, just keeping myself in my groove, I would already be in a good spot. Anything on top of that would just be icing on the cake. I'd spent three months building myself up, both mentally and physically, and that is the exact wrong time to stop.
consistency is the key
When my next semester started, I saw all the people around me trying to prepare themselves for the semesters that lay before them. I saw people dreading the course work to come and teammates tripping over themselves in the warm up jogs. I then looked at myself and saw that I was more prepared for a semester than ever. No first day jitters, no dreading the first homework assignment, and was able to even get an early jump on my reading assignments.
Since then there has never been a doubt in my mind what I need to do each day. From month to month or year to year my goals have changed, and will continue to change, but now I wake up and continue along my path. Striving to accomplish what I started the day before and always moving forward.

I have had a look at the Curry's Partmaster website. The have a lot of Akai Remotes which seem to be priced around £14.99. You could take a look. If you still have the manual it might tell you the model number of the remote. For instance RC81024. The remotes on this site all have numbers like the above all starting with RC. If you find the remote number it will help chase down the correct remote.

Sushi Dinner on Friday nights is just an amazing experience! Great live music, professional & friendly staff…and the sushi is delicious!
Sandra M, Dined 03/12/15 | Dinner
My first time there with my girlfriends Friday night for a Birthday. So classy and warm, had a wonderful time and the Sushi was great. The owner came to say "Hello". The entertainment was outstanding! Steve, I think…take care of that foot, you guys are so talented.(you nicknamed me "Slinky") I'm coming back in a couple of weeks, bringing more friends! Lots of love! And thanks for such a memorable evening.
-Gina J, Long Beach, Dined 06/20/15 | Lunch
"I explained my special needs with extra vegetables, etc. to the server and he was amazingly accommodating. The food was delicious and our experience there was stellar. We will for sure be going back!!"
-Dawn, Dined 02/06/16 | Dinner
For a large group of people, 40+ all arriving at different times, the servers handled drinks and food right on par in both service and flavor. They have a great patio area out back, it seems almost private, separate from the main dining room. I'll definitely be back for an intimate dinner for two, or another coordinated gathering.
-Ted R., Dined 07/10/15 | Dinner
"Great atmosphere, friendly service, reasonable prices for high quality food. The wonton soup is a favorite."
-Larry B, Long Beach, Dined 08/16/15 | Dinner
"Loved the music of Dave Alcantar I will totally Return when he performs again!!!"
-Tony, Dined 06/23/15 | Dinner
"We went for the all you can eat sushi special, and it was fantastic! The food was great and the gentleman serving us at the sushi bar was awesome. Will definitely be back!"
-James, Dined 01/15/16 | Lunch
"This restaurant continues to be one of our go to's for their great food, service and value. Jason was waiter and as always we have a wonderful experience. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in town. This one never lets us down…plus on the night we went Flyer an 80's band was playing so we got to also enjoy some great music (i.e. 80- 90's). I highly recommend this restaurant!"
-Joann, Dined 12/29/14 | Dinner
"It's always fun and food is great."
-Morris, Long Beach, Dined 09/10/15 | Dinner
"Great food. Service is outstanding. Warm atmosphere. Friendly feel"
-Brent B., Dined 09/05/15 | Dinner
"We had a craving for their war wonton soup so we popped in last week. It was as delicious as we remembered it from many months ago. We were served by Jason and he was fantastic. Also the wait staff was very attentive. We had a wonderful and casual Wednesday night dinner and were surprised to see that they also now have music on Wednesday night…which we stayed and enjoyed for a while. I definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back."

Pine Hill Forest
Hello, and Thanks for Stopping By!
Pine Hill Forest started as a small mother/daughter shop selling hand sewn plush squirrels.
Over time we thought it would be fun to expand the shop to include a variety of plush animals, zipper pouches, brooches and ornaments. Colleen comes up with all of the patterns, and does all of the sewing and bead work, while Stephanie sits behind the computer working out all the details for the listings. We are always coming up with new ideas and can't wait to see what will be next!

Warming spices, aromatic ginger and garlic, saucy deliciousness. A quick and easy weeknight meal. Simmer chickpeas in a large pot with pureed tomatoes, spices and steeped black tea. Cook up a pot of rice and you'll be eating a hearty comforting meal, better than any take out chickpeas in no time at all.
Masala Ribs
Sweet, sour, spicy, salty… these ribs are unctuous and flavourful! Slow cooked slathered in spices, brushed with honey, vinegar and garam masala then back into the oven to become all crispy and caramelized.
Indian Spiced Potato Salad
Perfect for a summer picnic or a backyard BBQ, this potato salad is far from the common mayonnaise based salad of my childhood. Toasted spices, lemony red onion, waxy fingerling potatoes and peas that burst in your mouth! So delicious we've eaten it with dinner three weeks in a row!
Onion Pakoras
I am definitely lover of nearly anything that's crunchy and salty. When I feel hunger setting in, rarely do I reach for the chocolate stashed in the fridge (hidden from my chocolate fiend partner), but rather it's the chips that call my name, and well anything salty really. So when I go out for Indian food I almost always order pakoras, not even realizing how easy they are to make at home. The perfect balance of texture and taste.

From Sao Paulo it was off to Paraty for a little longer than planned once again thanks to the colossal rain. But we managed to meet some fab hostel mates and venture out to the giant slip and slide waterfalls at Cachoeira do Toboga where the locals skidded down on their feet. I saw one guy slip and cut his eyebrow open but this didn't stop anyone. Further up the falls was an 8m jump spot, something I couldn't attempt but Seb managed it twice. We managed to get a group together to charter a boat trip around the islands on the final day with some snorkeling and sunburn!

After missing a chance to defeat John Blood Sr with my Latvian Gambit, now a year later I chose to defend against his 1.e4 with the Caro-Kann Defence. Normally after 4.Nxe4, I play the classical 4...Bf5. Thirty years ago I preferred the sharper and riskier 4...Nf6 line, intending 5.Nxf6+ gxf6. Jeremy Silman wrote a book on this line called "The Dynamic Caro-Kann: The Bronstein Larsen and the Original Caro Systems" a couple years before this game was played. To be aggressive, I tried a throwback to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Black's plan in this line is to castle queenside and to attack in the center or to use the g-file as a base of operations. This was my original plan, but this time the execution failed badly. White found more effective play on the b-file than Black did on the g-file. John Blood wins, again reversing my earlier success vs him.

Maryland breeding: Dr. Brendler an unknown no longer
The 5-year-old Maryland-bred horse Dr. Brendler ran the race of his life to win the Grade 2 Dixie Stakes before the Preakness Day crowd at Pimlico on May 17.
The Dixie, a Pimlico fixture even older than the Preakness itself, has over the years showcased winning performances by the likes of Equipoise, Whirlaway, Assault, Fort Marcy, and Paradise Creek.
Dr. Brendler, bred and owned by prominent Washington, D.C., lawyer Frank O'Toole, competed against top horses in Ireland earlier in his career. In last year's Dixie, he finished fourth, less than four lengths behind the winner, Strut the Stage. Still, Dr. Brendler was a relative nonentity when he broke from the gate in this year's edition of the Dixie, which is contested at 1 1/8 miles on the turf.
Rain, days and days of it, undoubtedly worked in Dr. Brendler's favor, reducing the number of starters from 10 to six, and offering him his ideal conditions.
"Soft ground and cool weather seems to really help him," said trainer Graham Motion after Dr. Brendler fought his way to a half-length score, paying $39.40 as the longest price in the field.
The victory nearly doubled Dr. Brendler's lifetime earnings to $275,069 from 26 career starts.
Dr. Brendler (by Mr. Prospector's son Distant View, who was a Group 1 winner in England) is the third stakes performer O'Toole has bred and raced from the Irish-bred mare Lady of Vision (by Vision). Purchased as a yearling at the 1988 Goffs sale in Ireland, Lady of Vision won her maiden impressively in her home country and carried O'Toole's colors to a fifth-place finish in the Irish 1000 Guineas before he brought her to the U.S.
Lady of Vision's first foal is Polish Vision, a Polish Numbers gelding who has won or placed in five stakes, and at age 10 is still in competition for O'Toole and trainer Tim Keefe. Her second foal, the 1994 Polish Numbers filly Leading Question, placed in stakes.
O'Toole, who grew up in Blackrock County, Dublin, but has lived in this country since 1960, remains an avid fan of Irish racing. Dr. Brendler, named for O'Toole's Harvard University roommate, who is a renowned urologist at the University of Chicago Medical Center, took O'Toole to the heights of the sport in Ireland two years ago.
After winning the 2000 Guineas Trial (defeating eventual European sprint champion Mozart, over a soft course), Dr. Brendler was hyped as "the little guy's horse" in the 2000 Guineas. "It was amazing," O'Toole said. "He was running against a load of great horses, including [champion] Galileo, and we had this whole entourage following us."
Dr. Brendler finished out of the money in the 2000 Guineas, won by Black Minnaloushe, and out of the money in Galileo's Irish Derby. "After that we found out he was bleeding severely," said O'Toole. "We brought him to this country [in the fall of 2001] so that he could race on Lasix."
The Dixie was Dr. Brendler's third win in the U.S., and his second in a row, following an allowance score, at 1 1/2 miles on the turf, at Keeneland on April 5.
O'Toole has owned horses since 1985, and celebrated his first graded stakes win in the Dixie. Dr. Brendler is one of three horses in training for O'Toole, and Lady of Vision, boarded at Hartwell Farm in Kentucky, is his only broodmare in this country. He also has one mare in Ireland.
Barren for three years after producing Dr. Brendler due to a tear in her uterus, Lady of Vision delivered a full sister to Dr. Brendler in 2002, and has a Chester House colt at her side. She was bred back to Quiet American.

Kabbage is an online lending company based in Atlanta, GA. Kabbage developed an online algorithm that simplified the financing process for small businesses. When applying for a small business loan, Kabbage has in-depth knowledge of business processes, helping the borrower get faster access to their money.
Kabbage is unique in the industry because they use data from business checking accounts, payment processing, shipping data, and other e-commerce sites to reach small businesses that are looking for loans. Also, Kabbage has a high success rate: Over 80 percent of all Kabbage transactions come from repeat users.
If you want a small business loan from Kabbage, having a low credit score won't necessarily knock you out of the running. Kabbage mostly looks at your current revenue (they want to see you're making more than $50k/year) and the amount of time you've been in business (needs to exceed one year). Typical Kabbage borrowers also have a good social media presence and high amounts of inventory.
Best Uses
Small business loans from Kabbage are typically used for inventory purchases, system upgrades, and marketing.
Minimum Qualifications
- In business for over one year
- Making at least $50k per year
- No minimum credit score needed
The Good
- Transparent requirements
- Instant approval
- Low APR
Loans from Kabbage are almost like a cash advance with lower interest – they are perfect for businesses that need a little bit of cash and can pay it back in a short amount of time. You can borrow between $2,000 and up to $150,000. Plus, Kabbage has a unique borrowing model that allows the borrower to only use what she/he needs. Even if someone is approved for a $150k loan, you only pay for what you take.
Business advances from Kabbage are set up on a short-term, manageable payment platform. The term of the loan ranges from six & twelve months. Benefits of the Kabbage platform include:
Pros of Kabbage Small Business Loans
- Loans are scalable and manageable
- Use and pay for only what you need
- Short, manageable payment plan
- Instant approval and fast access to funds
- Low Rates & Short Terms
Transparent Application Requirements
Those interested in using Kabbage can find a ton of information online without having to apply first (a commodity in the lending industry). Here is some of the information we easily found online:
- Companies need to be in business for one year before applying
- Companies need to be making a minimum of $50k annually
- No pre-payment penalties
- No closing fees
- No origination fees
- 1.5-10 percent interest rates
- Good Resources
Kabbage has a resources tab on their website that connects you to their blog. This site houses tons of content that businesses can access for free. Find business news, webinars, eBooks, tips, and more. Under Kabbage's "How It Works" tab, there is a calculator that gives potential borrowers an estimation of their total payment based on the amount they plan to borrow and the length of the term. The longer you have the loan for, the higher the amount you will typically pay.
Repeat Users
The average Kabbage customer utilizes their line of credit four times a year. This indicates that a lot of businesses are using Kabbage's service and that the payment scale is affordable and sustainable. Also, a high number of repeat users indicates that Kabbage's application and approval process is streamlined for small businesses. Kabbage's application and approval platform are also very easy to use. You simply need your financial documents and a quality credit score. If you qualify, there is an instant approval, rather than an extended waiting period.
The Bad
- Short term solution
- Personal guarantee
Short Term Solutions
As we mentioned earlier in this review, Kabbage's loaning paradigm is based on the line-of-credit industry. When you apply for a loan with Kabbage, it is a short-term solution. Most Kabbage clients use their funds for short-term needs, such as equipment upgrades, purchasing inventory, or funding payroll. Kabbage does not offer traditional loans, large loans for bigger businesses, or other types of conventional funding. Another factor to consider is that Kabbage does not offer an SBA-based service. Therefore, the borrower is not included in some key SBA programs. Other limitations include:
Low Amounts of Capital
Kabbage only lends a maximum of $150k. This amount makes sense when you only have 12 months to pay back your loan. But again, it's not a large enough sum for many businesses.
Personal Guarantee
When you take out a loan with Kabbage, they state that "you personally guarantee that you will pay back your loan, but you do not have to put up any real estate or personal collateral." In many cases, a personal guarantee means that you have to put up personal collateral. This confusing language makes it difficult to know what collateral you are really promising to Kabbage when you take out a loan.
The Bottom Line
Kabbage is a great way to secure short-term financing for your business. Borrowers should consider Kabbage as a lender if they need small amounts for immediate short-term needs, such as new inventory purchases or payroll. If you don't mind waiting a few days for funding and you feel confident in your ability to pay back the loan (and don't mind having a personal guarantee attached to the loan), we recommend using Kabbage.

As another poster mentioned, Kabbage is awesome for quick cash flow resolutions. That was my purpose for applying to them as well. The service was excellent and the speedy processing and ease of qualifying was superb. My only issue, and it's a very small one, is the 6 month repayment requirement. I didn't see a 12 month option when I submitted my request but I do see that this is something that they offer. Then again, the purpose of this line of credit isn't to fund my larger expenses so, as I mentioned, that was a very small issue. I think Kabbage is an awesome company and a great resource to have for any small business. I look forward to a long relationship with these guys.
PS: Definitely the fastest, easiest way that I've seen to get instant capital for your business as long as you meet their prerequisites.

U.N. Observers Delay Visit to Somalia
By JANE PERLEZ,
Published: July 12, 1992
NAIROBI, Kenya, July 11— A United Nations plan to send cease-fire observers to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, this week has been delayed after a local warlord complained that a United Nations plane flew money to his chief opponent.
Somalia has been in a clan-based war since President Mohammed Siad Barre, the leader for 21 years, was ousted in January 1991 by guerrilla forces of the United Somali Congress.
About 30,000 people, most of them women and children, are believed to have died in the fighting that consumed Mogadishu until a shaky cease-fire was worked out in March and tens of thousands more are in danger of starvation, relief officials say.
The International Committee of the Red Cross warned today that the land, sea and air operation that has brought a meal a day to 500,000 Somalis was proving insufficient. Conditions Called a 'Disaster'
"Another 500,000 will starve if our program is not doubled immediately," the Geneva-based director general of the Red Cross, Dr. Peter Fuchs, said here.
Dr. Fuchs described conditions in Somalia, a mostly desert country of about 5 million people on the Horn of Africa, as a "disaster," and "quantitatively" much worse than that in the former Yugoslav republics. The Red Cross was spending one-third of its nearly $500 million budget on Somalia this year, by far the biggest single expenditure, he said.
Red Cross officials said the remoteness of parts of Somalia had made it difficult to be precise about the number of people dead from hunger. But Geoff Loane, relief coordinator for the Red Cross in Somalia said, "Tens of thousands must have died" since fighting and drought over the last eight months have made food virtually nonexistent.
In November, the fighting intensified when the Congress split into two wings, those heavily armed by weapons left by the Soviet Union and the United States. As part of the cold-war competition, Mr. Siad Barre was backed first by Moscow and after 1980 by Washington. Gen. Mohammed Farrah Aidid controls southern Mogadishu, and Mohammed Ali Mahdi controls the northern part of the city.
The United Nations, with the agreement of both General Aidid and Mr. Mohammed, had planned to send 46 unarmed observers into Mogadishu this week in an effort to keep the cease-fire and to improve the movement of relief food through the destroyed city.
Four members of the United Nations team arrived on July 5. But General Aidid said he would not accept any more because of what he called a United Nations effort to send money to Mr. Ali Mahdi. A United Nations spokesman, Ian McLeod, said the 46 observers would not go to Mogadishu, pending talks with Mr. Aidid.
The United Nations denied that one of its planes had been used to transport money to Mr. Ali Mahdi. The United Nations coordinator for humanitarian assistance in Somalia, David Bassiouni, said a Russian aircraft chartered by the United Nations for ferrying relief supplies to Mogadishu had been used "illegally" the day after the United Nations contract had expired.
"The flight in question on June 25 was not undertaken under U.N. contract and was without the knowledge of the United Nations," he said. The Kenyan police impounded the plane after it flew five tons of Somali notes, apparently ordered from a British currency printer two years ago, to Mr. Ali Mahdi. American Embassy in Ruins
Somalia has no working government or any public services like banks, telephones or schools. Egypt is the only country with official representation there, and the American Embassy, built at great expense in the mid-1980's, lies in ruins.
The starvation is most intense in the countryside outside Mogadishu where as many as 2.5 million people are wandering around in search of food and safety, Dr. Fuchs said. The hunger was caused by lawlessness, which was pushing nomadic people out of their usual areas, and by drought, which added to the problems of getting food.
In Baidoba, 150 miles northwest of the capital, 80 to 90 percent of the people are severely malnourished, Dr. Fuchs said. There are several other centers with similar rates of malnutrition, with the better-off areas showing 60 percent with severe malnutrition. The trek from Baidoba to Mogadishu was littered with dead bodies, he said.
The 300 kitchens that the Red Cross has in Mogadishu and dozens of small hamlets in the rural areas are supplying one meal a day to 500,000 people. "We are just keeping people from dying, not bringing them back to normal," said Peter Stocker, the head of a Red Cross delegation for Somalia.
The Red Cross food was being delivered by truck to the Kenyan-Somali border, by ships to Mogadishu and by plane and helicopter to places in the interior, like Baidoba.
