Washington, Aug.27 (ANI): The U.S.-India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) expressed deep grief at the death of Senator Edward Kennedy.
Dr. Bharat Tewarie, USINPAC leadership committee member from Massachusetts said, "Senator Kennedy was the senior statesman of American politics with a public service record of nearly half a century. He showed by example how people with opposing views could work together on most complex issues. How else could he have authored over 2000 bills? He will be greatly missed".
USINPAC Chairman Sanjay Puri said, "Sen. Kennedy's life was a life of service to the people of his country. With the death of this truly great American a chapter has come to an end. But he leaves behind a legacy which will be hard to match. Even if you disagreed with him on an issue, you could never question his commitment to this country and for providing an opportunity for the American dream to every American. Despite his failing health he worked to convert his dream of affordable health care into reality. We salute him for his achievements and mourn with the nation."
The U.S.-India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) is the political voice of 2.7 million Indian-Americans. It provides bipartisan support to candidates for federal, state and local office who support the issues that are important to the Indian-American community. (ANI)

- "Now this bloody shooter, he stole one point two million dollars of my money. Man takes my son, I lose a boy. He takes my money, I'm getting it back. We will beat every mother's son in this city until I have my money in my hands, and this shooter's on his knees, alive, or there'll be more of you shining the inside of a box! Do ya hear me?!"
- ―Finn Cooley
Finn Cooley was an Irish mobster who came to New York City looking for his son's killer, the vigilante known as Punisher, to retrieve the money he stole from him. Despite the fact that he managed to capture and torture the Punisher, the vigilante ended up escaping and murdering Cooley.
Kitchen Irish
Leaving the United States
- "Anyone crosses us, we'll paint the streets red with their blood and when they're gone we'll make your father proud!"
- ―Nesbitt to Kelly Cooley
Finn Cooley was one of the main leaders of the Kitchen Irish, developing a feared and respected reputation. Although his son begged to be allowed to join the mob, Cooley tried to persuade him otherwise but he insisted. When Wilson Fisk's criminal empire took over New York City, Cooley left America to return to Ireland, leaving Nesbitt in charge of the mob in New York.[1]
Death of a Son
- "I didn't want him to follow my footsteps, but he insisted. He came over to make his fortune and now look."
- ―Finn Cooley
When Cooley learned that his own son had been killed, along with both Nesbitt and several of Kitchen Irish members, he caught the first flight to return to New York City to attend the funeral. When he arrived he was greeted by many Kitchen Irish mobsters, led by Seamus who had Rory give Cooley a drink of whiskey in order to welcome him back with a sign of respect, once Cooley got the drink he made a point that he recognized Rory. Cooley looked at his son's body and told the group how he had tried to protect him from this world of violence and had failed, noting that his son had two sons of his own who had now lost their father due to the massacre.
Seamus tried to comfort Cooley as he poured himself another drink by reminding him that death was a part of the deal when going into their line of work. However this only enraged Cooley as he grabbed a knife and stabbed it into Seamus eye, pushing it slowly into his brain as Seamus screamed in agony and died. With Seamus now dead, Cooley got another drink and ordered the men to find the Punisher and bring him to him, alive so he could torture him and locate the money he had stolen from him.[1]
Hunting the Punisher
- "Oh, thanks for thinning out the herd. You're surrounded son, now be a good lad and drop the iron. Come on, you seem like a smart one."
- ―Finn Cooley to Frank Castle
Cooley had Rory take charge of the hunt and through a fierce search in during which they tortured anyone who may have the slightest connection to their target, they eventually located the Punisher's own apartment through hearing of a man walking a dog matching his description. Cooley and his men from the Kitchen Irish stormed into the apartment where they found a full armory of guns, Max the dog as well as detailed maps of New York City but despite a brief search, none of the lost money could be found anywhere in the apartment.
What Cooley was able to work out however was that the Punisher was connected the a massacre in Central Park which Cooley had been involved with, when the Blacksmith had failed to appear leading to a shootout. With this information Cooley left the apartment with his men, taking the dog with them, and came up with a new plan to hunt down and capture the Punisher. What Cooley did not realize however was that as they were leaving, the Punisher was just across the street, watching their every move and making a plan of his own.
The Punisher was tracked to the carousel in Central Park where his family were massacred and Cooley sent Rory and a team to ambush and capture him. After a brief shootout where Rory was injured after injecting the Punisher with a syringe, Cooley appeared and calmly greeted his enemy, who still held a gun up despite struggling to stand. Cooley then ordered his men to shot him with multiple tasers until he finally collapsed on the ground despite trying to fight back and was taken away for a very painful questioning.[1]
Torturing Frank Castle
- "Your kid's in a box, but you want your money?"
"The Irish may not have invented revenge, but we sure as hell took some time perfecting it! Don't think you're showing me something I haven't seen before, cause your killing spree has all the signs of a man seeking retribution. Am I right?"
- ―Frank Castle and Finn Cooley
When the Punisher finally awoke, Cooley commented on his talent with guns, noting how he'd killed Nesbitt, his own son Kelly and many others during the recent Massacre at the Burren Club. Cooley promised that the Punisher would die but they was a chance to make his death less painful if he willingly surrendered the location of the money he had stolen from the Kitchen Irish, mockingly taking painkillers while explaining how he planned on torturing him.
When the Punisher insulted Cooley's priorities in the wake of his son's death, Cooley began beating the Punisher multiple times while telling him that his killing spree was pathetic. Punisher seemingly gave in and promised to hand over the location of the money, however just as Cooley leaned in to get the information, the Punisher head-butted him, laughing at his pain. In response to this Cooley grabbed a drill and began drilling into the Punisher's foot while he furiously ranted that he would kill all of them in return for the pain.
When this tactic failed to get results, Cooley changed his plan and ordered his men to bring in the Punisher's dog Max. Cooley then promised that if he did not hand over the money, then everything the Punisher had suffered would happen to the dog as well. The Punisher surrendered in order to protect his dog and gave up the location of the money, so Cooley sent his Kitchen Irish men to retrieve it and call him when they had found it, telling the Punisher that he would be kept alive until the money was in his hands.[1]
Final Moments
As Rafe was sent to find the money, Cooley stayed on the phone with him to get constant updates. However when Rafe claimed to have found it, the phone was suddenly cut dead as the bomb in the van was detonated killing the men and destroying the money. Furious at having been tricked into destroying his precious money, Cooley turned to kill the Punisher, only to find he had escaped from his chair and began killing the Kitchen Irish men, shooting Cooley twice in the back.
As Cooley desperately tried to crawl away, the Punisher grabbed a shotgun and walked over to him, ignoring all the pain in his badly damaged foot. The Punisher then held the gun to Cooley's face and demanded to know who was responsible for the massacre at Central Park which had killed his wife and children. Cooley then insultingly claimed that no one cared who killed his family and did not provide him with an answer. As the Punisher heard more men coming he fired a shot straight into Cooley's face, killing him instantly.[1]
Being from Ireland, Cooley used strong Irish slang and lingo repeatedly while speaking to anybody. A high-ranking member of the Kitchen Irish, he was respected but also rather feared for his unpredictably violent personality at times. He cares for family, both his biological and criminal one, exacting revenge on anyone who disrespected either, including Seamus whom enraged Cooley by attempting to comfort him over his son's death and Punisher who murdered and stole from the Kitchen Irish. Cooley enjoyed torture and was heavily sadistic, claiming that the Irish had perfected revenge before drilling into the Punisher's foot.
- Leadership: Being a high-ranking member of the Kitchen Irish, Finn orderes dozens of men both in Ireland than later in New York City too.
- Investigator: Only by torturing people who may have connection to their target, he eventually located the Punisher's own apartment. Working with very little intel found in the apartment, Cooley was able to work out however was that the Punisher was connected the a massacre in Central Park, eventually tracking him down.
- Kelly Cooley † - Son
- Brian Cooley - Son
- Kitchen Irish
- Blacksmith †
- Seamus † - Ally turned Victim
- Frank Castle/Punisher - Prisoner turned Killer
- Max
- In the Punisher MAX comics, Finn Cooley was a former member of the IRA who lost half of his face in a close-range explosion, and was forced to wear a mask to hold what was left of his flesh in place. He became involved in a power struggle in Hell's Kitchen and tried to kill the Punisher, only to die in an explosion.
- His death by being shot in the face is a reference from his counterpart in the comics, where a bomb disfigured his upper face.

Johannesburg - The New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1) superbug, which caused four Gauteng deaths, may be "more widespread" than previously thought, a microbiology expert said on Wednesday."The fact that unrelated NDM-1 producing bacteria have been found in a patient in a public sector hospital would indicate that, if we look harder, this problem is more widespread than we think," said Professor Adrian Duse.Duse, the head of the outbreak response unit of the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, was responding to questions about a recent outbreak of the superbug.Ten patients at the Life Glynnwood Hospital had been diagnosed with NDM-1 and another at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital."Early detection by screening patients means that [Life Glynnwood Hospital], because of its proactive screening programme, was more likely to find NDM-1 carrying patients than in other healthcare facilities where screening might have been less intensive," Duse said.SymptomsNDM-1 is an enzyme produced by bacteria, making it resistant to antibiotics.On Saturday, a fourth patient infected with the enzyme died at the Glynnwood hospital. It could not be determined to what extent NDM-1 had contributed to the four deaths, as each of these patients were seriously ill with other medical conditions."Healthy people, the general public, typically don't get sick from NDM-1 producing bacteria," Duse said.Those with underlying medical conditions were more likely to become ill from NDM-1 producing bacteria."The symptoms depend on the body site where these organisms are found.... If the organisms for example infect the lungs you would see the symptoms of pneumonia (like any other bacterium causing a lung infection) and so on," he said.Some people might carry NDM-1, but experience no symptoms whatsoever.Not like fluThe Life Glynnwood Hospital had strict precautions in place to prevent the spread of the superbug to its patients and staff.As it is not typically airborne - like influenza, for example - separate ventilation systems and masks were not necessary to contain NDM-1, Duse explained.Staff wore gloves and aprons to prevent the spread to other areas of the hospital, and the two remaining NDM-1 patients were kept in isolation wards.Standard hospital cleaning and disinfection procedures were adequate to dealing with the superbug, he said.Due to global travel, it has been detected in patients in public and private facilities around the world. It is named a "superbug" due to its resistance to antibiotics.
It says you need an underlying illness to activate the virus and make it dangerous..... unfortunately stupidity is not an illness....
@Jou Bird brain.
Animals are immune from it Jou...!
Darwinian evolution on this level is so dangerous. With all the preventative measures being taken with 'modern' medicine its only a matter of time until one of the batria groups becomes a serious problem and none of current medcine and antibodies would be able to contain it. MAybe we need to look at using a process where we slightly reduse the severity of the drugs used to controll thses bacteria so they become less resistant to them and then strike back again. Wish i knew more about this.
Funny no comments on this yet. Where is SA'n mind set? clearlyin the wrong place.
I think you are correct. I always direct my GP to prescribe the minimum and weakest drug he deems adequate to my condition. As a virus canot be cured I don't bother to visit him unless there is secondary infection needing treatment that homeopathic remedies and vitamin supplements can't provide.
@Carlin.. indeed i went to this lecture a few months back in the UK and what an amazing man. He explained exactly what you are have said about using the weakest form that is available and needed.
The Goverment is only making excuses for the Aids epademic because its goy out of control and they don't know how to handle it. EXCUSES!!
what has this virus gotto do with the aids virus?
Should we consider taking extra injections before leaving to New Delhi?
Maybe a Vitamine B co booster and lots of Vitamine C could help. No known injection to prevent this.
Now we have something called a New Delhi Superbug. At least it is a bacteria not a virus although it is said to be fatal. Shoooo living in these days! No wonder our life expetancy has been shortened.
Extra injections....lol. No just stay in New Dehli for at least 6 months.

Use MATLAB and Financial Toolbox to construct realistic, optimal portfolios that are stable over tim
"Portfolio optimization was first developed in the 1950s, but a number of practical and theoretical problems have limited its use by investment managers. For example, it is often difficult to obtain sufficient high-quality historical data for thorough analysis. In addition, the efficient frontier where optimal portfolios lie tends to shift over time, quickly making these portfolios suboptimal.
Modern data analysis tools, such as MATLAB and Financial Toolbox, can overcome these challenges.
Using the Dow Jones Industrial Average as a benchmark, we will implement a portfolio optimization methodology based on capital asset pricing and mean-variance analysis. Our goals are to use consistent, repeatable steps and to construct realistic, optimal portfolios that are stable over time....."

Great ideas, Aweful Voice!
Tip one is great, but the reader's voice is not for a book like this, it ruined the whole thing for me.
It ruined the whole experience!
I feel ashamed, but honestly it was anger.
This voice as reader may fit a novel, a long and drawned one, but not a non fiction, business, or anything that ought to be interesting.

***This is a long post, mostly because I want to record it all for my son. But if it gives others ideas for homeschool graduation, then that's cool too. When I searched, I found little in the way of graduation ceremony ideas, particularly in regards to a mom or dad's speech or the presentation of a diploma.
Fortunately, Sidney was able to graduate with four friends he has known for several years. We moms reserved the Historic Burke County Courthouse for our ceremony. It was small and intimate, yet we celebrated with many people who knew one or two or all of the graduates. We printed programs that included the grad's photos and bios, as well as the order of ceremony.
Sidney's bio in the program:
Sidney Louis Gaskins, III came into the world 6 weeks ahead of schedule; he couldn't breathe on his own. But his parents always felt lucky; Sidney was the largest by far of all the babies in neo-natal intensive care.
Growing up, he wouldn't be alone. He knew nothing of strangers; everyone was a friend. . . to talk to, to ask questions, to tell stories. A day spent with young Sidney was an exhausting day. But his mother felt lucky . . . because he cared for others; he wanted to know them.
He could be scolded and spanked, but nothing tortured the child more than being left to be quiet, by himself. His dad always felt lucky . . . because after the discipline, it was all new with Sidney. No hard feelings. He seemed to understand forgiveness and renewal.
He was a big brother. We know big brothers aren't always completely kind. But his younger brother and sisters must have felt lucky . . . because he learned, and grew into a protector, a nurturer, a benefactor.
At 17, Sidney faced cancer . . . in his brain, in his lungs. He seemed to feel lucky, that it was him instead of his youngers that would face it. He felt lucky as he walked the halls at St. Jude. Though far from home, he was so loved by so many. That love made him stronger, lightened his burden. It enabled him to lift others. Sidney made it his personal goal to make someone smile every day.
What a fortunate life . . .
Sidney wants to share his good fortune. After taking a year to recuperate, he will go to college, focusing on child development classes, maybe have some fun in chemistry classes. He plans to be a Child Life Specialist, working in hospitals to make sick children smile.
After a cello prelude by my son, Lincoln, and the commencement speech given by our pastor, there were slideshows and presentation of diplomas. Each graduate got the spotlight with their own slideshow, followed by their parents speaking and presenting the diploma directly after. So there was Brenna's slideshow and parents' speech and diploma presentation, then Kiera's, then Sidney's, then Virginia's. It was truly a unique and very personal graduation ceremony.
I include Sidney's slideshow below.
After his slideshow, Sid and I stood up with Sidney in his cap and down. I was so shaky but determined that I would do this thing. I had my words written out as I did not trust myself to remember all I wanted to say midst the emotion and intensity of the moment. I stuck fairly close to my script, though there is a bit of variance . . .
Back in our day, when your father and I were in school, education meant a good job, good money. It meant not working in the furniture factory . . . or digging ditches . . .(I look at Sid, my ditchdigger husband)
Our education was about competition, comparison, being better than our classmates. We competed for the best colleges, the best scholarships.
We feared that there was not enough to go around, so we had to get ours while we could.
With you, I wanted something different. I had a vague idea that your education could teach that you are not the most important person in the world. It could teach kindness, how to make good judgments for your own life and actions but to not judge others harshly, to be merciful and loving of your neighbor.
Especially when your neighbor is different from you.
I was not a great example of this myself, though I wanted to be. I had no idea how to teach these things. I still don't, really. I fell back into that comparison/competition trap many times, but You . . . You would have none of it.
You never worried for yourself, or fought for yourself, or tried to put yourself ahead of someone else. It was not part of your genetic makeup.
You see the world as an abundant place with plenty for everyone and you approach relationships accordingly. I learned from you. I, your teacher, had to learn again and again to trust the Father's Spirit in You,
to trust YOU Sidney,
to believe that you would make GOOD.
And you have made so much Good, Sidney. You have a kindness that runs deeper than the ocean. A heart that looks for the lonely and awkward. You seek to serve. You want to make people happy.
I saw this again and again at St. Jude. Not a single day went by in which a stranger did not approach me with "You are Sidney's mom, aren't you?" And then he or she would tell me how kind you are, how easy you are to talk to, how you explained what their little one felt inside the radiation machine, assuring parents that there was no pain.
I remember one shy young lady, in particular. It was the end of a long day at the hospital and both of us were dragging our feet. As you lost muscle and energy, your steps often dragged. So we had shuffled past this girl in the waiting room, on our way to get food and rest. We had turned a corner and you grabbed my arm and said, "Wait Mom. There is something that I've got to do."
You shuffled quickly back into the waiting room, positioning yourself in front of the young lady's chair. Pretending to hold a microphone and doing a tired, shuffling dance, you sang "What Makes You Beautiful."
I watched her tired face smile and others in the waiting room laughed. You had spoken with this girl previously, and she had shared with you her Make-A-Wish request — a concert and face-to-face meeting with the band, One Direction, who sing the song "What Makes You Beautiful."
You wanted her to get her wish. You wanted to encourage her. You made her smile.
Kindness, service-seeking, happiness-making —-
None of these things are likely to win you accolades, to make you a leader in your field, or to make you rich.
But standing here today, I say to you with every pulse in my veins . . .
"You are MY son. And with you, I am well pleased."
Sid did not write his speech down beforehand. He just went with the moment, not knowing what I planned to say. But I asked him to write down what he remembered of his words afterward . . .
When Sidney was very young… not an infant, but not yet a toddler… too young to talk, he got sick. We had somewhat of a 3-day rule, if you're sick for 3 days, and it's not getting better, it's time to go see the doctor. So we took him in.
The doctor asked what was wrong with him. We told him Sidney felt terrible. And Sidney had this thing he was bad to do. Certain faces he found very funny. As soon as we told the doctor that Sidney wasn't feeling well, Sidney broke out into laughter. Not just chuckles… big, deep laughing, the kind where it's hard to breathe, you're laughing so hard.
The doctor went in closer with a stethoscope, and Sidney took it up about 3 notches, laughing that much harder. I really thought he might choke and suffocate, he was laughing so hard. Meanwhile, Tina and I tried to convince the doctor that he didn't feel well…
I was reminded of that just this past year, when the Lenoir newspaper did an article about Sidney. The headline said, "Local Teen Battles Rare Form of Cancer." And they had a picture of Sidney; he didn't look like he was battling anything… big smile, happy face. He had no hair, but other than that, you'd never know from the picture that Sidney had any troubles at all.
That's just the way Sidney has always been. It's not that he stifles his pain, or pushes it out of sight… in an unhealthy way. It's like Sidney accepts his struggles, but he confronts them, as if to say to them, "YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE ALONGSIDE MY JOY!" (tears streaming down Sid's face)
When Sidney was young, I hoped and prayed that he would have an amazing extraordinary life. This past year, it changed. With all the cutting open of my son's brain, and the radiation and chemotherapy, I just prayed that he could be normal.
Sidney, thank you for showing me that you could be both. (tears, Sid and Tina hug Sidney, who is also crying)
Moments later, we pull ourselves together, and almost like an afterthought . . .
And also, here's a diploma.
A video of our words to Sidney would have been so much better, but in our tension and the bustle of the day, Sid forgot to give his cell to our daughter to record. And she never knew that was our plan — a major breakdown in communications on our part. We should have planned the recording with our recording person a week or so in advance, so she could have reminded us when we were distracted.
Oh, well, at our next graduation . . .

Deputy President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, has been endorsed to succeed President Jacob Zuma.
He was backed by an influential mining union, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM).
Since the conclusion of the South African municipal elections, which saw the African National Congress suffer a big loss, many have begun wondering who will succeed the President.
SEE ALSO: SA Mayor Athol Trollip Bans OÕcials From Travelling First And Business Class
President Zuma's tenure had been laden with scandal after scandal. From the accusations of rape to the big Nkandla scandal in which he used government funds to give his home a luxury upgrade.
The National Union of Mineworkers, which has to be one of the biggest unions in South Africa, expressed their wish to see Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa – also of the ANC – become the next president of South Africa.
Although he did not include extra details, the General Secretary of the NUM, David Sipunzi added that there are others, possibly organizations, who are in support of Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa becoming the next President of South Africa.
Although the ANC has not listed the fore-runner of the next South African presidential elections, Zuma is nonetheless expected to step down as the president of the ANC next year ahead of the presidential elections slated for 2019.
High ranking members of the ANC such as Jacob Zuma's brother and former first lady Winnie Mandela have called for a new leadership in the African National Congress party.
SEE ALSO: South African Universities Close Down Over Fee Protest
The ANC, the party of the late Nelson Mandela, has been at the helm of government in South Africa since the end of Apartheid in 1994.
Cyril Ramaphosa is a wealthy businessman and also one of the founding members of the NUM. It is believed that Ramaphosa will make good business-related decisions that will boost the South African economy.
However, Ramaphosa has not declared any intention to succeed president Zuma.

GEORGETOWN, SC (WBTW) – Investigators say they arrested two men after developing intelligence on drug dealing and stolen property in the area and serving a warrant on a Georgetown home.
The press release from the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office says the two were arrested Thursday after deputies and agents with the 15th Circuit Drug Enforcement Unit executed a search warrant on a home on Haven Drive after a two month investigation.
Tywaun Heard was found in possession of several grams of heroin and a large quantity of cash. Michael White tried to run from police, but was arrested and found to be wanted for several violent crimes.
During the search, officers located a large amount of crack cocaine, a stolen motorcycle, a loaded .40 caliber handgun, a loaded shotgun, digital scales and drug packaging materials. Deputies also say a large amount of electronics, tools, power equipment and automotive accessories were found in the home and will be investigated by the Georgetown County Sheriff's Office.
Heard and White were charged with trafficking cocaine and four counts of possession with intent to distribute schedule II controlled substances.
Heard, who was already out on bond for drug-related offenses, was charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute, and two counts of distribution of heroin.

Fordex Group Micro USB Host OTG Cable with Micro USB Power for Nexus 7 Galaxy S III & Galaxy Nexus
(Fordex Group seems to be a fake company, they just get these cables off chinese manufactorers, and the quality seems to be the same of the Amazon/Ebay counterparts, excepts the shipping is local to the USA, and faster, and the cables seem to work ok, and also ok quality)
Anker® Astro 3E 10000mAh Dual USB Backup External Battery Pack Portable Power Pack Charger for most Smartphones, Tablets and other USB-charged devices
Probably overkill. This thing is heavy and big (5.6 x 2.8 x 0.6 inches ; 8.6 ounces), but for any tablet, I need at least 2.1A output (this one does 3Amps)
WD 1TB Passport Ultra Edition
Meenova MicroSDHC Adapter for Nexus devices in mind
So, I have tried both ElementalX, and the Glitch kernel with stock based ROMS (CleanROM right now), and it's sweet. I am able to give power to the 1TB HDD, and also the tablet at the same time, and read/write to the external HDD to watch movies, and move files using Stickmount Pro + ES Explorer, or Nexus MediaImporter with a prettier UI (bought both just to support) using the Glitch Kernel, and that Y OTG cable.
I can also disable charge mode, and connect the 1TB directly to the tablet to read/write, however, using the tablet to power the 1TB HDD is not good, it's awesome for the small Meenova tiny adapter, but not for the 1TB HDD (slow dowsn, gets too hot, and drains fast).
I can also use the Meenova MicroSDHC reader with the same Y OTG , using a MicroUSB to USB adapter that came with the Meenova adapter (because it has a MicroUSB plug that should go DIRECTLY into the tablet)
My problem is that I wish to do both; charge, and power both, tablet and 1TB at the same time with the Y OTG cable, BUT, also be able to plug the Meenova adapter directly to the tablet without having to use the Y OTG cable, and charger, which I can't.
The option enabled on the glitch kernel to allow me to charge, and OTG at the same times is this:
"Enable USB+OTG Charge mode
Allows charging in USB host mode (disables self-powered OTG)"
"(disables self-powered OTG)" I guess this is what doesn't let me plug, and use the Meenova directly into the tablet without a power source
Does anyone know if there is a way to be able to do both?

He played "the ugly." And he played it well.
Last week, legendary character actor Eli Wallach passed away at the age of 98.
Whether you remember him as the villainous Tuco in 1966's "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" or grumpy-yet-charming Arthur Abbott in 2006's "The Holiday," his presence will be missed on screen.
Before his major claims to fame in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "The Magnificent Seven," Wallach made his film debut by facing off against Karl Malden for the affection of Carroll Baker in Elia Kazan's 1956 adaptation of Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll."
His major break in movie roles — after a plethora of TV roles in the '50s — came in 1960's "The Magnificent Seven," in which he played bombastic bandit Calvera.
The following year, he was back on the big screen alongside stars Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift in "The Misfits."
Some of his other '60s credits include "How the West Was Won" and "How to Steal a Million." He also appeared in the campy "Batman" TV series as Mr. Freeze.
His standout performance as Tuco in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" — the final installment of filmmaker Sergio Leone's Man with No Name trilogy — was not his only appearance in a popular film series.
Wallach played Don Altobello in "The Godfather: Part III," and he co-starred in "The Two Jakes," Jack Nicholson's 1990 follow-up to the 1974 classic "Chinatown." One of Wallach's final roles was in Oliver Stone's 2010 sequel "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps."
Younger audiences may remember Wallach for his strong supporting roles in romantic comedies such as "The Holiday" and "Keeping the Faith" or his guest appearances on TV shows including "Nurse Jackie," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "ER" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."
As screenwriter Arthur Abbott in "The Holiday," he stole every scene he shared with Kate Winslet and Jack Black.
Throughout his career, the one thing that always came across was the sincerity of each character, whether Wallach was playing a ruthless bad guy or a charming old man. And to put those two together, no one can play ruthlessly charming or charmingly ruthless quite like Wallach can —and that is perhaps what movie-watchers will miss most of all. I know I will.

The luxury watchmaker and jeweler announces the award-winning actor Canadian actor as its its international male brand ambassador.
"Like Piaget, [Ryan Reynolds] fearlessly brings creativity to his art, and we are thrilled to welcome him to the Piaget family."
So said Piaget CEP Philippe Léopold-Metzger as he announced Canadian leading man Ryan Reynolds – most recently seen on Australian screens in Deadpool – as the brand's new male ambassador for watches.
"I'm very happy to join the Piaget family," reckons Reynolds. "You can't find a more iconic brand, or one which better exemplifies craftsmanship, elegance and creativity. This is something that means a lot to me. I work in afield in which things can be cast away quite quickly. So when you find something iconic, something timeless, it's important. And that's one of the many things I love about Piaget."
Founded by Georges-Edouard Piaget in a farmhouse in 1874, Piaget has since become famous for designing and manufacturing distinctive ultra-thin movements which can't help convey elegance on the wrist. Its watches are also renowned for boldness and creativity in design – combinations of gold and colour, new shapes, precious gems, and dials made of hard stones.

We Make Marketing Easy, Effective & Affordable
Over the years, we've talked with lots of business owners and managers who have been utterly confused by the technical jargon, variety of pricing options and relatively new business concepts related to web design and/or marketing your business online. Here, you'll find the answers to some of the more frequently asked questions we get from people just like you.
We understand that you don't want to have to go through the tedious and time consuming process of hiring a web design or digital marketing firm over and over. When you make the decision to hire your firm, you want it to be the kind of decision you only have to make once.
General Questions:
Why do I need to market my business online?
With over 80% of all transactions starting from an online search, it is almost impossible to ignore the importance of a strong web presence these days. No matter what your business is selling you can almost be certain that your prospective customers will be going online to learn about what you sell and the best companies to choose from to get started. If your business cannot be found, then your competitors that can will be taking a lion's share of these opportunities.
How long does it take before I can expect results?
This may be our most common question, and it's a good one. The type of results and the time to see results are going to vary based on (1) the services you are using and (2) the aggressiveness of your marketing efforts. More comprehensive marketing strategies tend to yield better, quicker results and will always be recommended by imFORZA. However, if you have a very specific goal, then certain services may provide results faster. An example would be Pay Per Click as it can be activated and delivering traffic to your website within hours of setup. Search Engine Optimization and Social Media services can and do take weeks, sometimes months, before any direct results are noticed.
I'm on a tight budget...isn't internet marketing expensive?
Not at all. In fact, considering the increased number of customers who will make contact with your company as a result of your Internet marketing, it's one of the most cost-effective vehicles for building your business. Competent, professional Internet marketing services such as, Sprout Media Lab, offer extremely high ROI.
What internet marketing services do you offer?
Sprout Media Lab is a full-service web design and marketing agency. Our marketing services include search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) management, local search solutions, email marketing, mobile marketing, and social media marketing. Our speciality is Lead Generation for small, medium and local businesses.
Website Questions:
Why do I need a website?
Your website is the first impression that prospective customers get about your business online. If you do not have a website or if you have a dated, poorly designed and developed website, then there is a very good chance that this prospective business is going to move on to a competitor that has put the proper time and care into their website.
Why can't I just use a free or cheap website service?
There is absolutely nothing preventing you from going with a free or cheap service provider to build your website. As a matter of fact, going this route is better than not having a website at all in our opinion. However, if you're looking to build a website to actually help your business grow, then going through the proper planning, design and development process to create an effective website is 100% necessary. Your website is your first, and sometimes your only, impression as well. Make sure that it makes the best possible imprint by having a professional team like ours build it correctly from the start.
How long will it take to build my website?
The short answer is that it depends on the type of website you want. Following is an approximate timeframe for each type of website that we offer:
- Starter Site = 2-4 weeks
- Basic Brochure Style Website = 4-6 weeks
- Custom WordPress Website = 6-8 weeks
- eCommerce Website = 8-12 weeks
SEO Questions:
What is Search Engine Optimization?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results.
Why do I need SEO?
You need SEO to get your website ranked at or near the top of search results pages. This will provide your company with maximum visibility, encouraging qualified prospects to visit your website.
I'm happy with my current SEO company.
If you're pleased with the level of service that your current web marketing provider offers you, that's great! One way that many companies are scaling their business these days is by utilizing multiple SEO companies to ensure that their rankings are the best they can possibly be.
Sprout Media Lab works with plenty of companies that, for instance, use different SEO companies to develop strategies for their many products and services.
But consider this very important point: any SEO service (including ours!) deserves to be scrutinized to make sure that you're getting the best return on your investment. If you're interested in getting a second opinion about how well you're doing online, get a FREE SEO Analysis.
I just can't afford $499 per month.
We know that our service isn't for everyone, and if $499 per month is too expensive for you, we understand.
However, we do want to emphasize that Sprout Media Lab is an extremely affordable solution for the majority of our clients. For comparison, most high-end SEO companies charge a minimum of $2,500 per month and they require a long-term commitment.
I've been burned in the past by an SEO company. I don't want to risk that again.
Unfortunately, one bad apple can spoil the bunch. Isn't that what happened with lawyers?
Over the years, there have been many SEO companies all over the world whose practices didn't align with Google's Terms of Service. These "black hat" activities are precisely what give many SEO firms a bad name.
Sprout Media Lab simply doesn't even consider doing those things. Our conscience doesn't it. We take ethical business very seriously.
We haven't made a name for ourselves by being a fly-by-night company. We're a real business of real people with real families, a full-blown team committed to long-term success. We've got too much at stake to ignore Google's guidelines.
When can I expect to hit #1 on Google?
Unfortunately, predictions from our SEO crystal ball have never really turned out, our web marketing pixie dust just makes the office messy, and our Magic 8 Ball seems to be broken.
There are scientific reasons that you just can't predict how long it will take to get your rankings where you want them. Google's algorithm contains more than 200 measurements for every single query entered into the search engine. Each keyword has its own algorithm factors. Each site has its own algorithm factors. Each page of each site has its own algorithm factors.
In the world of SEO, you have control over how many people are talking about or linking to your content. You have the ability to encourage more people to link to your content. You can control your content quality. But you can't control how Google works.
In brief, Google's algorithm determines its search rankings. The best anyone can do is to influence the algorithm.
How is my return on investment calculated?
Return on investment varies by client and package, and is contingent upon appropriate analysis.
Look at your website as an employee. It needs to work 24/7 to get you results. You have to give that employee the proper tools to succeed, and you need to measure its work.
So, first things first! Before return on investment can be tracked, a few things need to be done:
1) Set up a trackable phone number that relates information back to Google Analytics .
2) Make sure that your site is tracking visitors for instance, instead of giving a .PDF file away for free, make visitors enter their email address, and then send them the file.
3) Include a form where visitors can sign up for more info or get a free quote. The data they provide will be crucial to determining ROI.
Determining ROI is impossible if your site is unprepared to track it. Our job is to get you set up so that we can properly track, analyze, and evaluate your ROI.
On average, for every $1 spentd on Sprout Media Lab's services, our clients makereceive $14 in return.
Do you offer guaranteed positions like other companies do?
Our business model doesn't guarantee positions but it's entirely out of consideration care for our clients.
Some SEO companies ask you to pay a monthly dollar amount for each keyword that appears in a specific position on a web search. To us, it seems a bit foolish to only focus on a couple of keyword rankings rather than a more comprehensive approach leading to a positive ROI.
At Sprout Media Lab, we don't want our customers to pay a monthly fee for one keyword forever, we want you to rank for thousands of keywords without having to pay us for every word.
We feel our business model is more effective, and it's certainly more affordable.
PPC Questions:
What is Pay-Per-Click?
PPC stands for pay-per-click, a model of internet marketing in which advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Essentially, it's a way of buying visits to your site, rather than attempting to "earn" those visits organically.
Search engine advertising is one of the most popular forms of PPC. It allows advertisers to bid for ad placement in a search engine's sponsored links when someone searches on a keyword that is related to their business offering.
Why do I need Pay-Per-Click Advertising?
PPC is the quickest way to drive prospects directly to your website. Your PPC ad immediately shows up on relevant the search results pages.
How long will it take for my Ads to show up on Google?
Literally, your Ads will show up on Google within minutes of going "live" with your PPC campaign. Your PPC campaign will be set up within 10 days of our "kick off" meeting. The "kick off" meeting is the first meeting you'll have with your Project Manager after you've signed up for one of our services.
Local Search Questions:
What are Local Search Solutions?
The majority of consumers are searching online for local businesses just like yours. If your business is not found in online directories, like Google Maps, Bing Places, Yahoo Local, Yelp, etc, you're losing business to your competitors who are. Sprout Media Lab's "Local Search Solutions" focus on optimizing your business listings on these online directories and ranking your website at or near the top of the search engine results pages.

Now as we begin this ninth lesson on Hebrews, we've already heard a few times in the book of Hebrews that Jesus is our High
Priest, but what exactly does the author mean when he gives Jesus this
title? What's a great high priest?
In the original Greek the word we translate to "great" has the same root as the word "mega". When I was a kid, the original power rangers were on TV. They used an enormous robot to fight the bad guys called the Megazord. Some lotteries are named the "Mega-Millions". The author wants us to understand that Jesus is not just a high priest. He is our mega high priest.
Why is that important? Why do we as Christ-followers want that?
For us today it's a little confusing. Off the top of our heads most of us couldn't describe much about the Jewish high priest. However, the original audience would have understood this title well. So, in order for us to properly understand this scripture we must understand how the original author and audience would think of a high priest.
Moses' brother Aaron was the first high priest. He was appointed by God to preform ritual sacrifices for the entire Jewish people. After Aaron, the high priest was chosen from the tribe of Levi and the decedents of Aaron. The high priest's most important job happens once a year and is described in Leviticus 16.
The Tabernacle was a movable tent that was the place of worship for the Jews while they wandered in the wilderness after the exodus from Egypt. After they settled in Jerusalem, Solomon built a temple for God based off the pattern of the tabernacle.
It had an outer court where both men and woman could go. It also had an inner court where only the priests were allowed. And it had the most inner place. This smaller room in the middle of the tabernacle was called the Holy of Holies.
It was separated from the rest of camp by a veil (a big curtain). Only one person was allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies. That person was the High Priest. And they were only allowed to enter it once a year, on the Day of Atonement.
The High Priest would go through this ritual. First, they would inter into the court of the priests and they would wash themselves. Then they would put on special clothes only for the High Priest. They would sacrifice a bull to atone (cover or compensate for) their sins and their families' sins. They would burn heavy incense to create a lot of smoke in the Holy of Holies in order to conceal the Ark of the Covenant, also known as the Mercy Seat.
It was called the Mercy Seat because the presence of God was in the Holy of Holies and it was through the sacrificed blood given before the seat of God that they could receive mercy and be atoned for. Because God was present in the Holy of Holies the High Priest feared to catch a glimpse of God and die. This is why they concealed the room with smoke.
When they were in the room they would sprinkle the blood of the bull before the mercy seat. Then they would exit to sacrifice the first goat. This goat was killed in order to atone for the sins of the whole Jewish people. The High Priest would sprinkle the blood of the goat before the mercy seat, and then in different places around the tabernacle.
Next the High Priest would place his hands on the head of the second Goat, confessing the sins of the people he would ask for forgiveness from God and then he would send the goat out of camp to die in the wilderness.
Finally, he would undress and wash. This was the ritual that was preformed every year by the High Priest for the forgiveness of the Jewish people's sins. - Read Leviticus 16:30.
The High Priest was the most important person in the Jewish community because he kept them in right relationship with God. Every year, year after year, for thousands of years another Day of Atonement was necessary.
In addition to these yearly sacrifices, everyday day, day after day, thousands of other sacrifices were made of produce and animals. For two reasons the process was never ending, never completed.
So, why do we want Jesus as our Great High Priest?
Jesus made the perfect sacrifice as both the Great High Priest and by providing the pure blood. Jesus was both fully man and fully God. Because he lived a sinless life he could represent man as the perfect high priest.
And because he was God in the flesh, he could be a sacrifice great enough to atone for all people. Jesus didn't atone for my sins with the blood of a goat. Instead, He offered his own body to suffer and die for me.
So, can we still today offer the sacrifice of animals to atone for our sins? No.
Do you remember what separated the Holy of Holies from the people?
It was the curtain or veil.
When Jesus completed his sacrifice as Great High Priest the separation from God and man was torn. This means the Holy of Holies no longer existed. This was the end of the old system and the beginning of the greatest opportunity ever offered to man. The cycle of animal sacrifice and human sin ended.
Christ is the greater High Priest. He is greater in every way.
The Greek language uses in this sentence a present active participle. In other words, this verse could be translated "high priest we are having" or this "high priest that is ours".
Do you remember how often the high priest of the old covenant could go before God?
Once a year
But Jesus is constantly at the right hand of God, continuously interceding for us. This means we have constant and continual access to our high priest and our God instead of yearly.
Also, Jesus' location as a high priest is greater. He is in heaven at the right hand of God. This is a position of authority. The old covenant High Priests kneels in the tabernacle at the feet of God's throne. This is a position of submission.
The High Priest of the Old Testament gave a temporary offering. But Jesus gave an eternal offering.
We know that Jesus was the perfect offering because he was sinless. But we also know that Jesus is a perfect High Priest to represent man because He was man. Tempted in every single way that we were. That means he has sympathy for our struggles!
Because of Jesus we have access to Gods throne. What kind of throne does God have?
One of Grace
This truth is so incredible it should completely blow us away - us? We the sinners! We can have bold confidence in Gods presence?!
Just compare the attitude we can have in God's presence to Isaiah when he went before God's throne. He coved his face in fear and cried out for mercy! (See Isaiah 6.)
But we can enjoy Gods presence instead of being afraid! Not because of how great we are, but because of how great our high priest is. Because of how pure His blood was! And because He gave it for you.
Paul describes salvation as a free gift of grace (see Romans 5). But a person never receives a gift until they put out their hands to accept the gift that's being offered to them.
Pray that God would draw you to Himself.
Pray that you would understand our Great Supreme Christ.
Pray to accept the free gift of grace that God is offering to you.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox opened a six-game homestand with a dramatic, come-from-behind 9-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
How it happened: Jose Abreu hit a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning for the game-ending victory. The White Sox rallied for five runs in the ninth inning after Matt Lindstrom gave up two in the top of the ninth to give the Rays a 6-4 lead. White Sox pitchers gave up 11 walks, five to Matt Joyce alone. Abreu hit his first home run of the night in the third inning for his third multihomer game in the season's opening month. He also set the MLB rookie record for home runs in the opening month of the season. White Sox rookie starter Erik Johnson lasted just 1 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks. Other White Sox pitchers to give up walks: Jake Petricka (three), Zach Putnam (two) and Lindstrom (two).
What it means: The White Sox have become equal parts must-see and can't-bear-to-watch at the same time. The offense that led the AL in OPS at the start of the night continues to reach amazing heights behind the production of Abreu, Alexei Ramirez and Dayan Viciedo. The pitching, however, continues to have its issues with multiple underperformers, as well as injuries. Johnson's 15 walks lead the team, while John Danks has 13.
Outside the box: Albert Pujols (2001), Carlos Delgado (1994) and Kent Hrbek (1982) all had eight home runs in the opening month as rookies, but Abreu passed them all on one night with his eighth and ninth home runs. And Abreu still has five more games remaining to pad the record before May starts. Abreu also tied Pujols' record for 27 RBIs in the first month of the season.
Off beat: The White Sox's struggles to find the strike zone were so bad in the early going that, at one point, Johnson and Petricka had combined to walk six batters while recording six outs. The White Sox now have 114 walks in 24 games, an average of 4.75 per game. For some perspective, they had 10 more walks than the next closest team, and that was before they gave up 11 free passes Friday.
Up next: The White Sox will send left-hander John Danks (2-0, 2.84 ERA) to the mound against Tampa Bay in the second game of the three-game series. The Rays will counter with left-hander Cesar Ramos (0-1, 4.91) in the 6:10 p.m. start from U.S. Cellular Field.

not the best place to be when you're broke
I LOVE shopping. Personally, I prefer shopping online to shopping at physical stores. Zalora has been one of my favorite shopping sites to shop on because they have a wide variety of brands which allows me to get them all at one place. They even stock items from Topshop, Adidas, Nike and Aldo.
I can spend hours on Zalora and end up with $200 worth of items in my cart. Also, Zalora offers free shipping islandwide when you spend $40 and above, which is honestly not difficult to hit at all. Take me for example. They ship your items within 1-3 days of payment which is GREAT.
Zalora also has excellent customer service. Once, I purchased a pair of boots that came with different colored shoe laces and requested for them to resend just the laces. I got a call back from them almost immediately with an apology because they ran out of stock and would like to refund me the full amount, and I get to keep the boots. Was that not excellent or what? Since then, I always go to Zalora for my retail therapy.
I highly recommend Zalora to anyone, even if they don't have exactly what you're looking for, you're sure to find something you like.

Aka the wallet emptier
I had fumbled around with online shopping when Gmarket had still been the Taobao of Singapore, and when I was first introduced to the #sgselling hashtag on Instagram. Online shopping had never went well with me, until I used Zalora one day.
It was after I had gotten my first debit card, during which the bank lady had told me: "You can shop online with it" in a bid to get me to sign up for one. I turned to the first online store I knew, scrolled endlessly, and settled with my first four purchases out of many in the future. The clothes that arrived were the exact quality I had expected - maybe even better. They were true to the picture, and true to size. When I knew of their easy refund policy, I started shopping even more freely. If I didn't like a piece of clothing, I simply resealed the package and dropped it off at the post office. Easy peasey lemon squeezy.
Zalora's easy-to-use interface and endless scrolling display makes it an addictive app to shop with, and the affordable prices they offer don't help much either.

The dark horse of e-shopping
Shopping on Zalora is gradually gaining traction in recent years. The online shopping site started by e-commerce firm Lazada group which is based in Singapore has successfully differentiated its webpage from other blogshops - free shipping, quick delivery (max 3 working days) and seemingly endless sales… everything a girl loves.
Everything a boy loves, too. Zalora boasts a large male clothing selection spanning from footwear to hats. As a member of Zalora, I can vouch for the quality of the garments and the efficiency of the delivery team. I ordered my prom dress from Zalora last year and it was delivered the very next day.
With a very user friendly app, I believe that Zalora would continue to gain popularity - it has expanded to Malaysia and other parts of SEA. I love it and strongly recommend Zalora to e-shoppers!

Good shopping destination for stacking discounts
Online shopping has been getting rather monotonous recently as the choices for shopping websites have been exhausted to a large extent. However, recently i came across several cash rebate websites such as shopback.com which offer pretty decent cash backs from many familiar online stores (eg. Zalora, Rakuten and even Courts). I was pleasantly surprised by the wide selections of merchants and later found out that the cash rebates may be stacked with the other promotions ran by the individual websites.
I bought a herschel bag pack recently with a 20% discount from Zalora's promotional code and an additional 10% cash rebates from shopback. That pretty much helped me to save up quite a substantiate amount of money. Although i have yet to receive my item but given the discounts i received, its worth a wait. Overall, I'm satisfied with my shopping experience with Zalora.

The first time I shopped with Zalora was when they began operations and it was shocking to get my stuff like 5 days later. This is a local webstore so I expected a faster delivery. Yet, it took so long.
I waited some time again before ordering from them with a coupon I had. Delivery was faster this round but guess what? The item, a skincare product, came smelling weird. I was considering to complain but I didn't because the item didn't cost that much either.
So I don't think I want to shop at Zalora anymore. Better to use my money elsewhere.

Shopping on a Budget!
Zalora is a no-frills online shop with fantastic customer service. I had my initial doubts about purchasing from Zalora as there were some negative rumors floating about the internet, so I only made my first purchase after I got my NS40 vouchers (vouchers issued to NSmen). After all, I figured that the purchases would technically be free, so there wasn't much downside to buying something I really wanted.
I received the item within 3 working days, with everything in order, and that started my string of purchases from Zalora. I have made many more purchases since then, and have found the customer service to be extremely receptive and helpful. I once ordered an item over the weekend before finding a cheaper listing elsewhere and managed to cancel the purchase on the actual day of delivery (Monday)! Here's a tip though: if the same thing happens to you and the customer service does not get back to you in time, you can always choose to reject the item with an explanation.
Oh and a #protip for you: follow @ZaloraSingapore for unexpected sales and promotions! They have the occasional 1-hour flash sale, which your wallet (and wardrobe) will thank you for.

The department store of online shopping
I've bought items from Zalora twice and had generally positive experiences both times.
The items they sell are well organised according to category and items are shipped fast. However, I wish they would list all the available colours of each product in one entry instead of having multiple listings for different patterns of the exact same product.
Do sign up for their newsletter as well! I got $10 off my purchase immediately by leaving them my email address. They do email quite often like 4 times a week so you might want to leave your secondary email address with them instead. Otherwise, their emails almost always contain discount codes that range from 5-20 percent off listed prices. I just got a coupon code today that could be used for sale items as well!
My sister recently got an Eastpak backpack for just $45 when we saw the same bag at a shop in Plaza Singapura for $90! The discounts on Zalora can be pretty awesome if you know the prices of the stuff you're buying :)

Great Online Shop!
Zalora is a really great website for casual online shopping. Their goods range from shoes to clothes and bags. What is good is that their categories are very neat and easy to navigate; unlike other online shops where one even has to click on individual items before seeing their prices.
Billing is convenient too– you can even pay in cash on delivery, and the quality of their goods won't fail you. I once bought a blouse on Zalora, and the quality was acceptable for the price I paid for it.
Apart from the things they sell and we buy, I personally like the design of their logo– looks simple and quaint!

Zalora is one of my favourite websites to visit for online shopping. It's amazing how they can stock so many brands under one site, which makes it so convenient to get multiple items at one go instead of going around to multiple places. Their popular brands there include River Island and Coach.
Apart from its wide product range, shipping is also excellent. You can get free delivery if you purchase above $40, which is not hard, honestly speaking. Cash on delivery is my favourite option. I am assured that I will pay only after receiving of the product: no fuss, no frills. Hate your product? Zalora even offers a 30 day free return policy.
All these, plus all their various dangling discounts, make Zalora an attractive option to shop at. Being a company that ships internationally, it gives them some credit and makes me feel safe shopping with them. Love them!

Value for money, swift delivery
I just bought a pair of shoes from Zalora, loving how their sales can give up to 70% off. I like how you are able to track your order and pay cash on delivery; I find it more convenient and reassuring knowing your package is on the way. Delivery was also very fast - a few working days.
I wanted to purchase some clothes too, but sadly, they were inconsistent with their product descriptions. For example, some pieces had sizing and measurement details but others did not. It was not very pleasing, especially since it's online shopping.
Then again, they allow for free returns. Troublesome as it may be, at least it prevents wastage of your money. Also, I like how they have all sorts of items - even sportswear and maternity wear.

To Whom it May Concern,
Offering iCare to our patients has been a very positive experience. We have patients that are in the process of buying a home, so they do not want a credit check run on them.
