With all the recent tragedies that happened to our country lately; from Yolanda to SM North EDSA's Martilyo Gang episode to our first ever flying bus in Bicutan, naisip na ba natin ang puno't-dulo at ugat ng mga problemang ito? Of course Yolanda is a natural disaster, but the disaster that happened after it is WAY TOO IMPROBABLE to be natural…
I am a proud Filipino and I vow to serve my country in the best way I can, but in order to do that I would of course need the cooperation of my fellow Juans and Juanas. I cannot do this alone. I cannot make big changes happen when there is a resistance caused by ignorance and fear of the unknown. I am not a politician, I am simply a citizen who observed some of the greatest follies of our time. Huwag na tayong MAGPALUSOT muna, tanggapin natin ang katotohanan na may mali sa lipunan natin at sa kung paano tayo nag-iisip araw-araw.
We are recognized by the world as the most resilient race. We are the brightest and smartest when it comes to "diskarte" sa buhay. We are everything we wanna be because our spirit is as strong as we claim. We are proud people and we are over achievers in our own little ways. Matalino tayong mga tao. At dahil sa talinong yun akala natin lulusot tayo sa lahat ng pagkakataon. This is where unnecessary sacrifices happen. We become a waste. An intelligent waste trying to make ourselves look valuable to the world.
Nakakainis isipin ang mga palusot ng Pinoy. I need not mention it, but I know you all know what I'm talking about.
Hindi totong wala kang TIME, tamad ka lang…
Hindi totoong mahal ang BILIHIN, kulang lang ang pera mo dahil kuntento ka na sa kung anong meron ka kahit ang totoo niyan gusto mo at hinihiling mo pa rin na sana sobra-sobra!
Hindi totoong mahirap ang mga PINOY,mahirap lang kausap kasi mas iniisip ang dahilan kesa sa paraan…
Hindi totong walang magandang OPPORTUNITY, takot ka lang sumubok…
We try to outsmart one another all the time. AYAW MAGPATALO! We all try to be the best we can be which makes us defiant of the system. We make reklamo all the time, but if given the opportunity, tayo mismo din ang LULUSOT!
Not because you can means you should! Hindi dahil kaya mo or makakalusot ka eh lulusot ka na! Kita mo ang nangyari sa bus sa may Bicutan? I'm sure sinubukan rin nun lumusot para mauna siya, para mas marami siyang makuhang pasahero, kaya ayun… Lumusot nga siya, sumobra nga lang. This is the simplest analogy of what happens when we disregard the rules and disobey the system; we will make it, but we'll never know the consequences because we only think of the now, we only think of outsmarting others, we only think of ourselves, and we only think of the immediate gratification we'll get. OKAY LANG NAMAN KASI PAREHAS PA RIN NAMAN ANG RESULTA, NAG SHORTCUT KA LANG! Now I am only left to pray for the dearly departed and I feel sad for their bereaved families. It's not even Christmas yet. 🙁
We blame our leaders, but never ourselves. Our excuses are too logical and we are willing to defend it with our lives. Tayo na talaga ang matalino! We have our own reasons and those reasons make us impossible people to come in terms with. Lahat tayo may kanya-kanyang gusto at lahat tayo may kanya-kanyang paraan para makuha ito! Life in the Philippines is an everyday race of getting to the top. We are a Catholic country, but we often times forget that greatest lessons presented to us by our faith in Him. May takot tayo sa Diyos, pero wala tayong takot sa ating mga sarili. That is the problem. If there is something to fear, I believe it must be ourselves. We must fear our capabilities so that we can be more aware of what we can do. We must fear ourselves so that we can maximize our potentials without the need to hurt or deprive others of their rights. We must fear ourselves not because we know that we are superior, but because we know that in our superiority we are capable of harming and hurting. Our fear of ourselves must mold us to become better and our fear of God must guide us to become one nation with one common goal of making life easier for all our kababayans. Anong pakialam ng leaders natin dito? It must start within us all and when that happens then we can truly exercise our minds to think straight without compromise next time. All else will follow.
Lulusot naman talaga tayo eh kasi hindi naman perfect ang system. Lulusot at lulusot tayo kung gugustuhin natin, but the question is, bakit tayo kelangang lumusot in the first place? Bakit kelangan nating mangibabaw or mauna sa iba? Ang Pilipino ay mga duwag at mga bulag. This is sad to hear, but what we are is a product of how we think. Takot tayong harapin ang buhay na nasa baba tayo, kelangan lagi tayong nasa taas kahit na anong mangyari. We are subconsciously sinners and criminals, but we will never accept this fact of course. We always say may dahilan ang lahat ng bagay, which is true, but not all things ay may dahilan kasi kadalasan ginagawan na lang natin ito ng rason. Everytime we reason out, it is always in favor of us. We save of our asses from damnation regardless of the validity of our claims. Kasi nga, kung matalino ka at alam mo kung paano, LULUSOT KA!
di ba?

Crop And Save
A Work in Progress (1996)
Not for beginners, but very informative.
"A Work in Progress" is a very good instructional video that features Peart playing through each of the songs on the 1996 album "Test for Echo," as well as discussions about making drum parts for songs and the creative process in general. However, any non-drummer who happens to be a Rush fan probably would not benefit from the post-performance discussions because the language is too technical. Also, I would think that any non-drummer would get bored just by watching a drummer play along with pre-recorded guitar and bass tracks. That being said, if you are a drummer, or any type of musician, this video can help you understand how Peart comes up with ideas for fills and his trademark complicated beats. Keeping your "tool box" stocked, as Peart would say, is an important part of the creative process. This video is a must for any musician who appreciates the creativeness of Rush and the skill of Peart in particular.

Sometimes, we all need a second chance, especially if we have been crushed by a financial crisis. Let's face it, while many people lost their jobs during the latest recession, thousands more have returned to work and are working on rebuilding their financial lives. However, before you can approach Back to Work Mortgage Lenders there are very specific things you must do in order to qualify for a new loan. Some of these include:
- Credit repair steps – There is no easy way to repair your credit. It requires persistence and a commitment to ensuring you are contacting creditors and working closely with them.
- Managing current debt - In order to successfully obtain a new mortgage, you will have to demonstrate you have a solid payment plan in place for managing your current debt. This means all payments must be made on time and as agreed. In some cases, changing your payment plans to bi-monthly can help you pay off your "old" debt faster.
- Demonstrating financial capability - Before you can obtain a new mortgage, you will need to show that you are saving money as well as paying your current obligations. Keep in mind, you will need to put a 3.5 percent down payment on a new home and you will want to save some money in reserve for emergencies.
If we are being honest, none of us ever anticipates a financial crisis that results in losing our homes. Additionally, the road to recovery is often a long and complicated one and full of twists and turns. If you have recently lost your home to foreclosure or given up your home in a short sale, it may be time to consider contacting 1st Alliance Lending. We understand the road to recovery is not an easy one and we are here to help.
Regardless of whether you lost your home a week ago, a month ago or a year ago, we can help you get back on track and help you qualify for the programs that Back to Work lenders are offering. We'll work closely with you every step of the way until you realize your final goal of being back in the home of your dreams. Contact 1st Alliance Lending today and let us help.

These materials were assembled
by the following participants in the workshop: Kristen
Arbutiski, Julie Ballin, Matt Bietz, Jeremy Birnholtz,
Tom Finholt, Darren Gergle, Erik Hofer, Gary Olson,
and Diane Sonnenwald.
Measures of collaboratory
All of the discussion groups, to varying degrees, began
consideration of collaboratory success by first attempting
to define a collaboratory.
Synthesizing across these efforts produces
the following description:
A collaboratory
is a network-based facility and organizational entity
that spans distance, supports rich and recurring human
interaction oriented to a common research area, fosters
contact between researchers who are both known and
unknown to each other, and provides access to data
sources, artifacts and tools required to accomplish
research tasks.
Several features of this definition are helpful in thinking
about how to measure collaboratory success.
First, the emphasis on spanning distance suggests
that when measuring collaboratory success, the correct
comparison is with other forms of long-distance collaboration
– and not with collocated collaboration.
Second, the emphasis on contacts, recurring
interaction, and artifacts suggests that a critical
contribution of a collaboratory is to be a social
arena for research work – but an arena that
is not tied to a particular physical space.
And finally, the emphasis on research suggests
that the impact of collaboratories must be evaluated
in terms of products critical to the research endeavor,
such as creation of new knowledge and techniques.
following examples illustrate different kinds of measures
that may reflect success in collaboratory-based collaboration,
both in terms of process and product, when compared
to more traditional long-distance collaboration: frequency
and impact of discoveries; frequency and impact of
publications; diversity among collaborators (on multiple
dimensions); satisfaction of collaborators; frequency
of travel; number and prestige of honors accumulated
by collaborators; proportion of collaborations composed
of first-time collaborators; impact of the collaborations
on the training of young scientists; attracting newcomers
to the field, frequency and duration of delays; level
of interpersonal trust; extent of shared mental models;
degree of mutually consistent work practices; and
level of public interest.
proposed measures form the focus for three principal
research threads: a) exploration of the feasibility
and sensitivity of the success measures using retrospective
and prospective data from operational collaboratories
– in comparison with traditional long-distance
collaborations; b) exploration of the different collaboratory
types that have evolved (e.g., integrated versus aggregation
of separate applications) – and how these types
influence success; and c) exploration of how collaboratory
stakeholders, level of analysis, and time interact
to influence success.
An overarching concern was the problem of finding
a sufficient number of viable collaboratories to form
a sample for examining the impact of collaboratories.
here for detailed notes on measures)
Group processes in collaboratories
A way to view group processes in collaboratories is
to see these as independent variables that influence
the success measures summarized in the preceding section. This section, then, is divided into two parts. First, a list of candidate processes are
these candidate processes are analyzed in terms of
their importance to understanding collaboratory success.
The processes suggested in the discussion groups included:
a) awareness, meaning the availability and interpretation
of cues about what others are doing; b) task interdependence,
such as Van de Ven et al.'s (1976) scheme of pooled,
sequential, reciprocal, and team tasks; c) maintenance
of common ground; d) group dynamics (including trust,
leadership, conflict resolution, decision making,
roles, and goal setting); e) creation of routines
and procedures; f) communication, such as cultural
sensitivity and fluency; and g) interaction of task
and process characteristics and technology (e.g.,
scarcity of instrument time).
guide examination of the processes listed above, workshop
participants discussed building on an effort launched
by the Science of Collaboratories group at Michigan
to produce a framework for identifying variables of
This framework can be developed both retrospectively based
on data previously collected and prospectively for
new and ongoing collaboratories.
Examples of relevant contexts include face-to-face
collaboration within and across science and engineering
labs and distributed collaboration outside of a collaboratory.
additional suggested starting point was to consider
how the identified processes and variables might moderate
and mediate collaboratory success.
That is, from Baron and Kenny's (1986) description,
a moderator variable influences the strength or direction
of the relationship between an independent and a dependent
variable and a mediator variable explains the mechanism
behind the relationship.
In the case of collaboratories, for example,
there may be an interest in how a particular measure
of collaboratory use relates to a particular measure
of collaboratory success – where this relationship
may be moderated by some factors (e.g., task interdependence)
and mediated by others (e.g., awareness).
here for detailed notes on processes)
Organizational and community
consequences of collaboratory use
discussions of organizational and community consequences
of collaboratory use were focused along two lines:
examination of potential consequences, assuming widespread
collaboratory use; and specific collaboratory-based
interventions that might have beneficial outcomes
(e.g., expanding the pipeline for training of future
access – While some workshop participants noted that claims
for expanded access to science, through collaboratory
use, are probably exaggerated – there was still
hope that collaboratory development might create new
opportunities for broader participation in research
(particularly among institutions with fewer resources,
both domestically and internationally).
Specifically, collaboratories may provide a
way for faculty at Master's Colleges and Universities
I and II (i.e., from the Carnegie Classification –
institutions that are primarily oriented to undergraduates
and award 20 to 40 masters degrees per year) to maintain
active research involvement with colleagues at Doctoral/Research
Universities – Extensive (i.e., from the Carnegie
Classification – institutions with undergraduate
and graduate programs, typically awarding 50 or more
doctorates per year across 15 or more disciplines).
Also, collaboratories may provide a compelling
mechanism for outreach, particularly to K-12 audiences
(i.e., via science museums, classroom use and etc.).
transformation – Again, while some participants expressed skepticism
– many expected that widespread collaboratory
use would produce changes in the structure of scientific
Specifically, collaboratories were seen
as accelerating trends toward increased multi-disciplinarity
(although there were concerns about the scientific
value of multi-disciplinarity) and toward cross-institutional
there was an expectation that feedback might occur,
such that wider adoption of previously unorthodox
practices (e.g., electronic publication) and career
tracks (e.g., outside the tenure system) may also
produce incentives that reward collaboratory use –
which in turn, may accelerate transformation of the
status quo (e.g., by increasing visibility of junior
scientists or of researchers outside the scientific
kinds of science – A principal envisioned impact was the capability
to bring previously unrelated communities of researchers
together through the capacity of collaboratories to
combine data in new ways.
For example, in the Space Physics and
Aeronomy Collaboratory, observational and simulation
data can be viewed side by side, which has led to
new interactions between theoretical space physicists
and experimental space physicists.
production – In the discussion of success measures, increased
rates of publication and discovery were identified
as important outcomes of collaboratory use.
Discussions focused on the sensitivity of such
measures with particular attention to the lag between
adoption of innovative practices and impact in terms
of publication or citation patterns.
Comparisons to earlier innovations, like email and electronic
journals, suggested that even at mature points in
the penetration of these innovations – it was
still hard to see impact in terms of citation data.
However, broader access to the Internet does
seem to have played a role in the dramatic increase
of papers within one very special class (authors from
ten or more different countries).
Collaboratory impact might be most visible
in the case of similar "mega-collaborations."
One proposal was to track the number of
different congressional districts represented among
authors on papers from collaboratory-based collaborations
versus conventional long-distance collaborations.
Collaboratory-based interventions
terms of next steps for research there was a reluctance
to pursue the connection between collaboratory use
and broad changes – both because of the immaturity
of collaboratory technology and because of the multi-causal
nature of large transformations (e.g., the trend toward
multi-institution authorship has been increasing for
several decades – pre-dating the Internet, collaboratories
and other more recent inventions).
However, there was enthusiasm for tightly scoped
interventions with high impact, both in terms of outcomes
and as demonstrations.
For example, in terms of Ph.D. production in
the United States, a small set of selective liberal
arts colleges have performed at a disproportionately
high level (Carrier & Davis-Van Atta, 1987) –
with corresponding disproportionate representation
among authors of highly-cited publications and among
members of the National Academy of Sciences.
The keys to this success are partially related to the admission
criteria of these institutions – but other important
factors include exposure to hands on research activity
and mentorship by faculty.
With the right mixture of support, collaboratories
might be used to produce the conditions currently
found only at these selective liberal arts colleges,
but across a wider array of institutions – with
corresponding increases in the number of students
choosing to pursue graduate degrees and research careers.

Spanish bank adopts Google enterprise cloud apps
One of Spain's largest banks, BBVA, is switching its 110,000 staff to Google's cloud-based enterprise software
This Article Covers
One of Spain's largest banks, BBVA, has announced that it is switching its 110,000 staff to Google's cloud-based enterprise software.
The deal could be a breakthrough for Google's cloud-based services because it shows that even banks are moving to the public cloud, but BBVA will use Google's tools only for internal communication, according to the BBC.
Mixing and matching your cloud options
Many IT leaders are increasingly coming round to the idea that sourcing services from one or more providers might be the best way to go. From a cost and resiliency perspective, some workloads might work better in one cloud over another. Or a certain provider might boast some functionality that suits a particular process the enterprise is looking to implement, but falls short in other areas, prompting the company to adopt a mix-and-match procurement strategy. Join us as Computer Weekly takes a closer look at the multi-cloud approach and what providers are doing to capitalise on the trend.

The bank and Google have also pointed out that the system will meet the demands of banking regulators and data protection officials, and be as secure as any solution on the bank's premises.
The move is aimed at achieving a cultural change by getting the whole company working together across 26 countries through using cloud-based Google applications like e-mail, calendar, documents (storage), chat, video conferencing and other collaboration tools.
Recognising the need to manage the change, the bank says it has a training programme in place to prepare staff for the move to the browser-based online world.
BBVA's move to the cloud has also been prompted by the increasing mobility of the bank's workforce, but the bank has emphasised that all customer data and other key banking systems will remain in its own data centre and be completely separate from Google's cloud-based services.
The bank claims that a pilot with 7,000 staff did not identify any problems, but IT staff will monitor traffic because of concerns about whether BBVA's network will be able to cope with the increase associated with cloud-based services, particularly when video conferencing is involved.
BBVA chose Google over other cloud-based services because of a better price, security and experience in the market, according to Bloomberg.
Google is stepping up competition with Microsoft as companies seek to cut software costs and improve productivity in adverse economic conditions.

Engineering services are a core competency and a critical component of Segue's total solution suite. Segue engineers assist our customers with DfX (Design for Manufacturability, Reliability, Serviceability and Component Availability) to reduce costs and improve reliability and delivery. Our engineers can assist with transitioning products from concept and prototype through pilot production. The end result is a cost effective, well documented, and scalable manufacturing process.
Our Commitment to Focus on What We Do Best
Segue's engineers are experts at cable and control/power panel and electromechanical design. That is what we do… and we do it well. Most customers do not have dedicated cable designers or control and power systems layout personnel. Rather electrical engineers who are responsible for other core elements of the system are often tasked to perform these tasks. Given our focus and experience, we are confident that our team, working hand-in-hand with your engineers, can quickly identify opportunities to simplify designs or lower costs… and do it in the first release.
Furthermore, as a contract manufacturing company, our engineers bring a lean manufacturing focus to the design of your product. We are tenacious in finding ways to reduce costs during design, such as:
Segue offers a unique blend not found in typical domestic or overseas contract manufacturers in their core ability and passion to design and develop tooling of unique electromechanical components which when combined with standard off-the-shelf components provides a true "turn-key" deliverable of complex, hybrid electro-mechanical printed circuit board assemblies or cable assemblies in a cost effective manner.
Dave Truesdell, Director of Engineering, David Clark Company
Segue provides a number of engineering solutions that are matched to your specific needs.
- New Product Introduction (NPI) Services: Learn how you can benefit from contracting with Segue to become part your NPI engineering team for the modules and sub-systems that will be manufactured at Segue
- Manufacturing Launch and Risk Reduced China Transition Services: Segue offers a packaged program to work with your design teams to ensure that all the pieces are in place to release a new product to manufacturing and ramp production with minimal disruptions

Belden Star-Quad Mic Cable XLR Male to Right Angle XLR Female 10 Ft Black and Gold Premium Audio Cable by Sescom.
World's Finest XLR Male to XLR Female Star-Quad Microphone Cables hand crafted in our shop featuring Belden 1192A Low-Noise Cable. Cables are built with the highest quality connectors from Neutrik, Connectronics & Switchcraft.
Designed to use with microphones but are also excellent for line-level signals (i.e. mixer to power amps). Special 4 conductor configuration plus high shield density reduce hum and noise to less than 10% of conventional 2-conductor mic cables. Special construction also reduces handling noise while maintaining excellent flexibility. High density braided shield blocks electrostatic noise to eliminate annoying hum, buzz and radio interference. 4-conductor design cancels electro-magnetically induced noise from SCR dimmers and fluorescent lights. Excellent frequency response is preserved due to low capacitance provided by dielectric qualities of Polyethylene insulation. Handling noise is prevented by use of cotton filter material. Super flexibility results from using large numbers of thin wire strands, plus PVC jacket that remains pliant at extremely low temperatures (brittle point is -56ÝF).
Belden 1192A Cable Features24 AWG stranded (42x40) high-conductivity bare copper conductors, polyethylene insulation, tinned copper braid shield (95% coverage), PVC jacket.
Available in 6 Colors. Don't forget...We're a Belden Certified Assembler - Custom cable configurations are always available!

Getting a mortgage has become more and more difficult for the first-time buyer in recent years, in large part due to the gap between property value and peoples ability to save a deposit that satisfies today's more cautious lenders. Having said that, things are constantly improving. With the government NewBuy and HelpToBuy schemes, huge discounts on Right to buy property, and lenders beginning to relax their criteria, more new homeowners are finding their way onto the market than years before. Also, because interest rates are so low at the moment, if you are lucky enough to get deposit together, some first time buyer mortgages are the best they've ever been.
– Pete Mugleston, Mortgage Advisor, Online Mortgage Advisor
NOTE: If you are looking for Help to Buy information on purchasing a property with just 5% deposit, visit our specific Help to Buy pages here and make an enquiry to find out which mortgages you're eligible for.
First Time Home Buyer Guide
If you're buying for the first time, the main things you'll want to know are:
- Can I Get a Mortgage?
- How much can I borrow?
- How much deposit will I need?
- What will my mortgage repayments be?
If you've not missed any payments on anything and your income is high enough then you should qualify with most lenders, but each application is judged on individual merit. It can come down to employment status, affordability, age, credit score, property type, and a whole host of different things. Credit scoring systems these days are so complex, it's impossible to work out exactly what score they'll give.
The good news is, that as every lender is different, and if you've been declined once it doesn't mean you cant get a mortgage with another lender. Some lenders are surprisingly flexible, some don't even credit score. They are all constantly changing their scoring systems, at times raising the bar making it harder to qualify, other times lowering it making it easier – usually depending on how much money they have to lend at the time. If you're struggling, I'd suggest you get in touch and an advisor can see if there's anything that can be done based on the latest market criteria.
For more info on mortgage criteria and bad credit applications, visit the bad credit mortgages page.
Again, your best bet is to make an enquiry so an advisor can calculate your borrowing limits. For more info have a read of our mortgage advice pages.
With the introduction of the new Help to Buy 2 scheme however, buying any property with just 5% deposit is now much easier.
Specialist lenders can often help you if you have a minimal amount to put down as deposit, and with the right advice you can save hundreds on your mortgage by getting the rate right. Using a whole of market, independent mortgage broker, can help ensure you get the best deal available.
NOTE: 100% mortgages don't really exist anymore, however through some specialist lenders it is possible to borrow the 5% deposit required on an unsecured loan, provided it is affordable to do so. If you are looking to buy and have no deposit, but think you have the income to sustain a loan and a mortgage, please get in touch.
For instance if borrowing £100,000 costs £1,000 over 15 years, and you have a budget for £600, then extending the term to 30 years may help.
To find out what rate you're likely to be on, play around with the online mortgage search engine and mortgage calculator to get a better idea, or give us a call and have an advisor calculate this to the penny.
First time buyer Q & A
The 3 most important things to remember
The 3 most important things to remember
1) Don't be pushed around!
With the market as it is, and houses not selling anywhere near as much as they used to, estate agents and house vendors are all the more eager to sell at the moment. You shouldn't let anything or anyone make you feel like there is any pressure to make this important decision straight away. Being prepared and acquiring knowledge will help put you in the best position when the right house comes along and getting the right mortgage adviser will ensure that things move quickly once your offer on the house has been accepted.
2) First time buyers are a commodity!
As you'll have no house to sell you are already in the 'one up' position. Speed is a big attraction for someone struggling to sell their house so remember this and use it to your advantage as a bargaining tool when submitting your offer – You have a deposit, no house to sell, and are ready to go!
3) What to look for in a mortgage broker…
The whole market – The right broker will be a whole of market, independent financial advisor. This means they have access to all lenders and almost all products on the market, and aren't tied to any one institution.
No up front fees – You'll also want to make sure there are no initial charges. Many independent mortgage brokers charge for their time. Find one that only take a fee once you've been accepted and the mortgage has been finalised. We call this a 'success fee'.
Affordability – When giving first time buyer mortgage advice, your advisor will likely talk to you about your personal financial circumstances and will put forward a recommendation based on what you think you can afford, helping you to think about budgeting correctly. They'll also know which lenders offer the highest level of borrowing on a mortgage, so if affordability is holding you back or you're looking for more than you think you can get, get in touch and an advisor can help.

Shared ownership/equity – see definitions below.
Right to buy – This is where your local authority or housing association grants you the ability to purchase your rented council house if you've lived there for a number of years and satisfied a number of other specific criteria. They usually offer a larger discount from the market value, which can be used as a deposit. For instance, you have lived in your rented council flat for 6 years, and have been granted the right to buy. The council have valued it at £65,000 and offer you a discount of £20,000. You actually purchase for £45,000 but are able to take a 100% mortgage for the full amount, with no need for deposit. The council usually tie you in to a contract for 5 years, in which time you cant sell or borrow against the equity for purposes other than home improvement.

2) Find a property (as long as it takes you!) – Then its down to you to find a house and put an offer to purchase in.
3) Instruct the Valuer (2-3 working days) – When you've had an offer accepted, the lender will need to instruct a valuation of the property to check its worth what you're paying for it. They can also, at your request, perform home-buyers reports and full structural surveys (additional cost), and this is your decision based on whether you think the property requires more in depth analysis. See section below about valuations.
4) Formal mortgage offer (1 working day) – Once the lender is happy with the valuation and all your documents, they will formally offer the mortgage and send copies of the paperwork out to you and to the solicitor to get ready for completion. The mortgage at this point is sorted. Most lenders and brokers will be able to issue an offer within 10 days (max) of your valuation request (depending on time taken to get the val booked in), but usually much quicker than this. It can be offered at any point after receiving a successful valuation and all documents.
5) Instruct a solicitor (3-4 weeks) – This can be done at any point once an offer has been accepted, and if time is of the essence then some purchasers like to get the solicitors moving straight away. However, it is advisable to wait until the valuation has been done, because spending money on legal work when you don't know the house you're buying is suitable, is a costly mistake if something on the valuation puts you off. Solicitors can be found locally or online, usually online are cheaper. They will then instruct searches on the property such as local authority searches (to make sure they aren't going to build a motorway through the back garden anytime soon!), mining area searches, chancel searches to see if the house is part of a parish area, and others…
6) Exchange contracts – Once all searches have been done, and both the buyer and seller's solicitors have drawn up the appropriate contracts, you are ready to exchange the contracts and set a date for completion (sometimes this happens on the same day).
7) Complete the purchase – and move in! – The whole process on average takes 6-8 weeks, sometimes longer sometimes much quicker. You can also request accelerated processing from the lender and solicitor, if the purchase is a repossession property and needs to complete in a very short timescale.
Do I need to instruct a survey or a valuation?
Do I need to instruct a survey or a valuation?
- Level 1 – Lenders valuation to make sure the property is appropriately priced at what you're paying for it.
- Level 2 – home buyers report, to make basic checks on damp, dry rot, roofs, electrics etc.
- level 3 – full structural survey, where a valuer will go and spend half a day or more a the property testing and inspecting to make sure it is structurally sound throughout (usually reserved for old / unique properties with suspected defects).
Depending on the mortgage deal you are taking, there may be a charge for the level 1 valuation. Level 2 and 3 aren't compulsory, but are something you may want to consider, especially on older properties or those in 'risk areas'. They can reveal some vital information about a property that otherwise may go unnoticed.

Concha's Art
Creativity is a way of life for me, so I see everything as art. Being creative includes perspective and observation. It's about paying attention, noticing the interconnectedness of everything and what make things "tick."
I've been painting, drawing, sewing and decorating for as long as I can remember. My mother was an artist, pianist and master gardener, while my father's creative talents were staged in the business world of movie theaters. It seems I was surrounded with the best of both talents.
My two interests, painting and sewing, eventually merged in an intersection that has become a life-long pursuit. For years, I altered store-bought clothes and began to experiment with washable paints (fabric paints were not available in stores). I painted the clothes I made to create an "artsy" look. As my interest in painting and fashion grew, I pursued a career as a fashion illustrator for newspaper ads, employed by Belk department store in Charlotte, NC. Over time, fashion illustration was replaced with photography and computer art, so I began free-lancing, designing product packaging and brochures for various businesses. Even then, I continued sewing, altering and painting clothes for myself whenever I could.
So, being part of the world of creativity is not an option for me. It is part of who I am. It allows me to lighten up, have fun and not take myself so seriously. Creativity also connects me to something greater than myself, and in the process I begin to experience a sense of wholeness and interconnectedness to everything.
Now, after forty years of sewing and painting, I have finally come home, creating wearable art in the form of hand crafted clothing, shoes and boots. These creations are one-of-a-kind, colorful and fun to wear!
Hand crafted art to wear is redesigned clothing using repurposed materials. It is art to wear and incorporates fabric paint, bottle caps, fringe, antique lace, old jewelry and hand painted appliqués as embellishments.
The process involves using existing clothing which are redesigned by using materials from other garments. While I start with an idea, the shape, style and color of the existing garment dictates the overall look for the completed outfit. Colors and fabrics that work well together are important in making the finished design interesting and also fit well. As with other forms of art, the process is an "inside job." Free from outside distractions, (no phone calls or TV; maybe some inspirational music.) the creative process begins to unfold and design itself. I simply put the pieces together. More often than not, I end up with a design that's entirely different than what I first envisioned! Fabric paint is used to add interesting designs and to help unify the colors and fabrics. Vintage lace, old jewelry, bottle caps and fringe are often incorporated to add interest and a somewhat whimsical touch.
After all, these aren't just clothes. They're art and they should be fun!

The latest move from the premium automaker comes as an investment in ride-sharing company Lyft, along with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover cars for its drivers to put to the test.
Jaguar Land Rover says that it will supply Lyft with vehicles and plans to work together with the company.
In fact, auto major Ford's transportation solution investment arm, Ford Smart Mobility, had also led a $24 million round in Indian self-drive vehicle rental company Zoomcar a year ago. Waymo and nuTonomy have also expressed interest and placed investment in Lyft's operations, with nuTonomy working in collaboration with InMotion to develop autonomous cars in Boston through embedding nuTonomy's technologies. That news would otherwise be a run-of-the-mill partnership were it not for Waymo's very public legal battle with Lyft's main rival, Uber. Lyft has also been pretty clear about seeking to partner on autonomy, rather than pursue its own tech, which is likewise different from Uber's current approach.
The news comes less than a week after Lyft announced a partnership with self-driving auto software maker nuTonomy.
Senate Committee Hearing With Intelligence Chiefs
Comey to get the bureau to back off its focus on former national security adviser Michael Flynn in its Russian Federation probe". Trump tweeted Wednesday morning he would nominate Christopher Wray to replace Comey as Federal Bureau of Investigation director.
The UK-based automaker will partner with Lyft via a $25 million investment through Inmotion, its mobility services business.
"We're excited to join forces with Jaguar Land Rover and InMotion, " Lyft president and co-founder John Zimmer said in a statement. JLR's presence in the United Kingdom and Europe could open up more opportunities for Lyft to spread into even more cities in its mission to transform mobility.
Lyft Inc.is expanding its roster of automotive partners as the second-largest US ride-hailing company tries to capitalize on missteps by Uber Technologies Inc. Founded in 2012, the new investment follows a $600M round that was raised by Lyft in April, bringing a total of $2.6B raised to date. Another achievement was forging a partnership with Volvo to test the autonomous driving capabilities of its XC90 SUV model.

Thank you for attending our June chapter meeting at Hilton Garden Inn- Downtown/Bayside, and of course big thanks to our Programs Directors, Colette Morel and Elsie Nash, for another fantastic event.
If you weren't able to join us, here are a few highlights:
Guest speaker: Deputy District Attorney, Wendy L. Patrick, Ph.D., spoke about the RED FLAGS that we should pay attention to impressions and details when dealing with co-workers, acquaintances, and even first dates. It was really interesting to see how her office is able to dig deeper into a person, just by the information they share… or rather don't share about themselves. If you bought a book and need to send a check, please send check for $27 to: Wendy L. Patrick, 330 W. Broadway, Suite #1020, San Diego, CA. 92101
Scrapbook Heaven: Some of our Past Presidents brought their scrap books and as someone who JUST created one for Karen Spencer, I am so glad I didn't see them in advance or I never probably would have handed it over. I wish you could have seen Anita Tindall strut in with her dining- room- table- sized- scrap book, full of pride, and I don't blame her… it's pretty fantastic. The photos of the shoulder pads and lipstick were awesome, but the history is just priceless. I will ask Karen to bring hers to the July meeting and if you have any photos or keepsakes from her year as president that you would like to add, feel free to bring them.
Soaps & Scents: Lynette Clark of new member firm, Soaps & Scents shared a little more about herself and her products. She also brought some samples… I now I have a delicious smelling cucumber-melon bar of soap in my bathroom, and it's almost too lovely to use! Get to know a little more about Soaps & Scents at: www.soapsandscents.com, and be sure to say hi to Lynette next month!
August Fundraiser: It's that time of year where it's "all hands on deck", which is especially fitting since our BIG PRIZE this year is a 7-Day cruise for 2 aboard the Holland America Line to Alaska, the Caribbean, Mexico or Canada/New England. We need your help selling these tickets… including selling them to yourself. The funds raised help chapter initiatives, including our EWISP and ASIST Scholarship. Plus, buying and selling these tickets makes you look strong and smart. Don't ask me how, it's just science.
Please reach out to Kathy Christmas, email@example.com or Holly Stephenson, firstname.lastname@example.com about getting some tickets. Also, be on the lookout for some more information on sponsorships and how you can help make this fundraiser a big success. Please note the date is the 4th Tuesday, August 22, so please mark your calendars.
LCAM: Still thinking about the annual Leadership Conference and Annual Meeting (LCAM)? Take a look at the justification tool kit, attached. It might help you decide on the expense or it might arm you with some more information when you ask your company to support you.
EWISP & ASIST: Gigantic thanks go to Pat Evans, (EWISP) and Jamie Fleming, (ASIST) and their committees, for their contribution to selecting our scholarship winners. You will get to hear more and meet both of them in July, when they are awarded.
Past Presidents: We appreciate our Past Presidents very much… and last night we got to say thank you to those who were in attendance. Schedule changes kept many, including, Patti, Besse, Pat, and Debbie from attending, but I assure you, you were with us in spirit!
|(1998 and 2012)
Our next chapter meeting is July 18 at Hilton Garden Inn, Old Town—sure hope you can make it!

Howdy! If you weren't able to join us for the March meeting at Junior Achievement, we are sorry to have missed you…
Junior Achievement:
It was a true pleasure to meet with COO and SVP, Jacqui Pernicano and learn a little more about the work they put in to helping young students in our community. It's a healthy and vibrant program, but they really could use support, particularly with volunteers.
Here is more volunteer information and sign up: http://jasandiego.org/get-involved/volunteer.html
Here is a link to a video that shares a little more about Junior Achievement and definitely worth a watch! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L49IjKV6po
Executive Luncheon/Save the Date:April 18 at the San Diego Convention Center. Our programs team, joined by Pat Evans is hard at work finalizing the details for what is sure to be an amazing Luncheon. Look for an email and hard copy invitation, later next week.
Heads up! MAY Meeting will be Mini Firm Fair: Consider this an "Open house/get to know EWI". The meeting will be held at the Women's History Museum, and Chapter members are encouraged to bring a professional guest. There is no "sit down" dinner scheduled, and the chapter meeting fee will be used to cover you and your guest for heavy appetizers for this exciting new network opportunity.

It was lovely to see you last night at The Prado in Balboa Park. Thank you to our Programs Directors, Elsie and Colette, for their hard work that contributed to the success of the meeting.
Here's an overview of the evening:
Thank you for getting in the spirit and wearing RED, and sharing such great gifts and prizes with our fantastic fundraising team, Directors, Kathy Christmas and Holly Stephenson, and Committee Member, Debbie Wilmot.
See you next month as we learn all about Junior Achievement!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night. Thank you to the Programs Team, Colette and Elsie for planning a fun and unique evening. If you weren't able to join us, you were missed and we hope to see you in February at the Prado Restaurant.
The evening was mostly made up of the sushi instruction, so the recap is super brief:
To those who have taken time to send a note about last night, thank you for your kind words, and I agree—it sure was fun!

Happy Holidays from your 2017-2018 EWI Board of Directors and Commitee Chairs!
For those of you who were able to join us (and bring a guest!), thank you so much. We are still tallying, but the evening was very successful and we couldn't have done it without you! If you weren't able to join us, we sure hope to see you next month! In the meantime, here's a quick recap of what you may have missed:
Team "Holiday Hooplah": Thank you to the Fundraising Team: Kathy Christmas, Golden Property Management, Holly Stephenson, AT&T, and Debbie Wilmot, Parma Management Co, for such a great FUNdraiser! Thank you to our Program Directors, Colette Morel, Manpower and Elsie Nash, Payroll Vault, for a great venue, and a special thank you to Kristy Weinzimer at Flower's By Coley, for our lovely flowers and Birthday roses. We also want to send a shout out to DJ Mo Cringle for spinning some fun and festive holiday tunes— thank you!
Mentor Up Series: We have a date for our first "Lunch and Learn" called 'SOCIAL MEDIA, AND SO CAN YOU!' This will be for our members who really need help understanding Facebook and Instagram. It's not in depth marketing strategy or instructions on how to increase your social media footprint, it's for the folks who need help just creating an account (and pressing buttons!) Save the date, February 11, 10am-1pm, at Manpower offices. Look for the RSVP coming soon!
Committee Opportunities: One of the best ways to get to know other gals in this chapter is by spending some time and laughs while working on a project. I am currently updating a "committee description" sheet that will let you know a little more about our committees and how your time and talents could be put to good use. Get involved, I promise you– it's where the fun is!
January Chapter Meeting: For those of you who have asked about next month's Sushi making class, at "Sushi On a Roll" , specifically those of you who do not eat sushi, please note that we will provide another food option as well. I know this meeting is a little outside the (bento!) box, but I am really proud of our Program Directors, for encouraging us to try something new, and hope you will consider joining us.
January Fundraising: Next month's fundraising theme will be "Re-Gift Raffle" If you wind up with wine that's the 'wrong color' or chocolate that 'doesn't fit', bring it in, we will give it a great home, and earn a little money in the process!
Chapter of Excellence: Every year, EWI Corporate awards Chapters of Excellence. We are already an outstanding chapter, but it would be great to have that recorded, officially. There are a few things that we will need to tighten up, but look for an outline of what we are (already) doing (in most cases) to meet the requirements… I think you will be impressed.
Friendly Faces: Along with some special guests, including ASIST Winner Lisa and her daughter, Anna, Lindi Nale, Darla Fox, Jesse Dozadiaz, Paul Harris and Joe Hitt, we were joined by our long-time friends, Jill Hammons, Emily Rogers, Deb Eck, Stephanie Hitt, Dawn Boese, Candy Cowell and Jan Sabran-Wolfert— it sure was great to see some of our ol' gang last night

text: this term has multiple interpretations: it is generally regarded to be a time frame ranging from about the renaissance until 1970 and beyond depending on the scholar using the term. It is also described as the quality or condition of being modern. Things that should come to mind with this term are (economical and technical) progress and development, but also slavery, exploitation and pollution.
