There is just something about a custard based dessert to make you feel all warm and comfortable. I found a Melissa Clark recipe from the NY Times and thought I 'have to make this one'. Baked Tapioca Pudding with a Brûlée top sounded good! Looking through the pantry sent me hunting for Pearl Tapioca. I had a box of instant, I didn't think this was going to produce the same results in her photo. No luck at Walmart and Kroger, and then the 'old man' reminded me of the new bulk store in Georgetown, Mill Stone Market. They had Seed Tapioca, I seem to remember they are the same thing.
FYI, Mill Stone Market has an in-house bakery and when I walked in I was hit by fresh bread baking, delish. She also had a tray of chocolate chip cookies baking away. They feature a daily soup and sandwich. There are little tables to eat in, and one of my buddies said when she stopped in for lunch after a yoga class, all tables had filled up at noon.
If you think this recipe sounds like a winner to you, click on the recipe title link, and you too can find all the secrets to making this recipe. I did use a Bain Marie to ensure an even bake just like Melissa Clark suggested.
Always on the ready to fire up my blow torch, I did Brûlée the top with some Demerara sugar. My son deemed this dessert the Poor Man's Crème Brûlée.

Academics at Prescott College
Psychology/Human Development
Balancing self-fulfillment and service to others
Through the use of structured experiential activities taught by seasoned professionals, students will engage in peer counseling within a training facility that includes the use of a one-way mirror, allowing peers and supervisors to observe students' counseling sessions while providing immediate, in-session feedback.
Students who choose to pursue a concentration in counseling will also study and practice advanced techniques and strategies in expressive arts and narrative therapies, with a strong emphasis on developing self and cultural awareness in the application of these client-centered approaches.
Academic ElementsAcademic Elements
Each fall and spring, new Prescott College students find themselves in "the classroom," the breathtaking, sometimes raw, always diverse terrains and environments of the Southwest. New Prescott students are introduced to the natural environment of the Southwest, learn about themselves and each other, and experience the educational philosophies of Prescott College during Orientation, thus beginning the journey of developing relationships with their new home, community, and academic career.
For most students, Orientation will mean a three-week Desert, Mountain and Canyon Expedition (aka Wilderness Orientation). Students, as a small community of engaged learners, will be backpacking throughout ecologically diverse locations in Arizona. Studying - Connecting - Growing. Other students will participate in a Base Camp Orientation, or Community-Based Orientation.
Follow this link for detailed information on these Orientation options: Orientation Details
First Year Experience
In their first semester, freshmen will enroll in courses addressing the concerns and challenges of being a college student. First Year Students will choose from an array of immersive semester courses - like Water in the West, Art and Ecology, Foundations of Leadership, and Introduction to Psychology and Yoga - which continue to build community, forge relationships with faculty advisors, and develop academic inquiry.
In their first semester at Prescott College, transfer students participate in Crises of the 21st Century: Research Methods & Theories. Students from environmental and social disciplines, the arts, and humanities will be introduced to theoretical and research approaches that foster ways of integrating their questions through class discussions and personal research. Students enrolled in this course will be given individual support in creating a degree plan organizing courses they are transferring with into a pathway for graduation in their chosen fields.
Degree Plan
During the first semester of their junior year, students create a degree plan, with the assistance of their faculty adviser, which sketches the academic map of their journey. It includes an overview of courses and credits earned; brief descriptions of competence, breadth, and liberal arts areas; lists of courses completed and those to be completed; a tentative Senior Project plan and description; and additional honors or experience that contribute to competence or breadth. The Degree Plan is a living document that continues to evolve throughout the student's final three terms.
Senior Project
Prescott College requires every student, not just designated "honors" students, to design and carry out an ambitious Senior Project. This Project functions as both a demonstration of competence and a culmination of the undergraduate experience. It may take the form of an ambitious research project, a collection of original creative writing, a curriculum plan and implementation, a studio art exhibition, a performance, a case or field study, or a challenging internship. Another way of thinking about the Senior Project is as a bridge between a student's undergraduate career and work after graduation. The Senior Project stands as a calling card that proclaims to graduate schools, prospective employers, and the world, "Look, this is what I'm capable of doing."

The Baltimore County Ethics Commission said Tuesday it will not file a complaint against a Dundalk councilman who for years did not disclose his outside employment — including a stint at a company that did business with the county schools — saying that he has corrected the omissions.
Councilman John Olszewski Sr., a Democrat, filed amended financial disclosure forms dating to 2009 after the omissions were reported by news organizations this year.
Assistant County Attorney Susan Dubin, the commission's lawyer, said county law gives a public official 15 days to remedy or "cure" a situation in which an alleged violation of ethics rules has occurred. If the official does so, the commission must dismiss the complaint.
By filing amended reports, Dubin said Tuesday, Olszewski "cured it before a complaint was filed."
The watchdog group Common Cause Maryland said the decision was disappointing, given the number of years Olszewski failed to report his outside jobs.
"It gives the green light for other elected officials to turn a blind eye or forget" to properly file disclosure forms, said Jennifer Bevan-Dangel, executive director of Common Cause.
Olszewski's employment in the private sector included work in 2010 with D&M Painting & Drywall Inc., which was awarded a $3.1 million contract in 2011 for the new Dundalk and Sollers Point Technical high schools in Olszewski's district. He most recently has worked for Mason & Son LLC, a contractor in Sparrows Point.
The County Council does not vote on individual school contracts but approves the overall county budget. The county attorney has said Olszewski's work at D&M would not have forced him to recuse himself from voting on the budget.
The councilman worked at the port of Baltimore for more than two decades until 2010. He did not report that employment on his forms dating to 2006, the oldest disclosure forms the county law office keeps available.
Olszewski, who was first elected in 1998, said Tuesday that the commission's decision "speaks for itself." He declined to comment further.
He previously called his failure to disclose the jobs "a mistake on my part."
Dubin said the commission reached its decision after hours of discussions behind closed doors in June. No one filed a complaint against the councilman, she said.
Bevan-Dangel said Olszewski's filing of amended forms "doesn't undo the potential damage of the lack of transparency" caused by not accurately completing the disclosure forms. The forms are required by law and enable the public to examine potential conflicts of interest.
"It doesn't help the public confidence," she said.
Benjamin L. Polakoff, the ethics panel's chairman, said members determined that "there was no outstanding violation at the time it was brought to the commission's attention" because Olszewski had already corrected his forms.
"Perhaps people have opinions on whether or not the code should read that way, but that's the way it reads today," he said.
The commission's five members are appointed by the county executive.

The Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection at the University of Pennsylvania is a private library focusing on late medieval and early modern manuscripts. The collection contains a valuable set of original manuscripts, a great part of which can be viewed online through a dedicated website, after having been digitized by the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image. The Islamic manuscripts form a significant part of the collection, including Al-Karaji's Inbat al-miyah al-khafiya, Al-Khazini's Kitab mizan al-hikma, and various manuscripts of medicine, logic, mathematics, literature and several copies of the Quran. The following article presents the Schoenberg Collection, with a focus on some selected Islamic manuscripts of science and medicine.

The Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection is a private library focusing on late medieval and early modern manuscripts. Mr. Schoenberg is a Penn alumnus and past chair of the Library's Board of Overseers. It has long been his desire that private collectors do more to facilitate access by scholars to their collections. The advent of the World Wide Web has now made it possible for private and institutional collections to be seen as scanned images and as encoded text. And so, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries have entered into a unique collaboration with L. J. Schoenberg that allows researchers to view virtual facsimiles of manuscripts from his collection. While it will take several years to finish the project, scholars will be able to see and use texts as they become progressively available online.
2. The Initiative and the Collection
Established in 2007, the Lawrence J. Schoenberg & Barbara Brizdle Manuscript Initiative represents both financial and material gifts. It is the brainchild of Larry Schoenberg, a private collector of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts. The initiative is challenge-driven, with the Schoenbergs offering matching funds for the acquisition of manuscripts, with preference given to those produced before 1601. Both Larry and Barbara Schoenberg serve on Penn Libraries Board of Overseers, and are the patrons behind the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image (SCETI), and co-founders of the annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age.
The Schoenberg Collection includes three separate online sites:
– A private library of manuscripts focusing on the late medieval and early Renaissance periods. This site includes full bibliographic information for over 400 manuscripts and online facsimiles for more than 30.
– An online catalogue of the Schoenberg manuscript collection.
– A searchable database that includes catalogue descriptions of almost 100,000 early manuscripts written prior to 1600. The descriptions are derived primarily from auction and dealer records.

Schoenberg's extraordinary collection of manuscripts is a direct and evocative testament to the range of human knowledge – mathematical, medical, astronomical, technological – as it evolved in the medieval and early modern era. This remarkable collection of manuscripts in Eastern and Western languages reflects a fascinating collection of science, medicine and technology. These hand-written volumes reveal the complexity and sophistication of pre-modern knowledge about the physical world in the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions. The interdependence of these traditions, and their mutual reliance on the legacy of antiquity, are characteristic of the collection. Manuscripts, properly speaking, are not rare; they are unique. Each one provides a snapshot of one or more scholars, some well known, others unknown or anonymous, grappling with the intellectual problems of their time.
Schoenberg's collection is described in a comprehensive catalogue edited by Crofton Black: Transformation of Knowledge: Early Manuscripts from the Collection of Lawrence J. Schoenberg (2007). The purpose behind this catalogue is not only to give their particulars but also to sketch their role in the history of ideas. The material gathered here spans over four thousand year of history, from the practice of arithmetic in Babylon in the third millennium BCE to a report on submarine detection experiments in 1919. The catalogue Transformation of Knowledge reflects the richness of Schoenberg's collection of manuscripts in a richly illustrated volume edited by Crofton Black with a preface by Lawrence J. Schoenberg and an introduction by Christopher de Hamel.
The catalogue traces the development of scientific knowledge, broadly understood, through manuscripts concerning both theory and practice – a significant number were made for teaching purposes. Beginning with Responses to Aristotle, the pervasive and enduring influence of Aristotelian thought throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance is traced through manuscripts containing translations and commentaries in Latin, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and vernacular European languages. Music, arithmetic and numerology (including games and codes), geometry, astronomy and astrology, medicine (human and veterinary), botany, chemistry and alchemy are subjects represented through manuscripts produced in Europe and the Middle East. A 1710 copy of an early work on calculus by Isaac Newton marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of mathematics. Revealing the complexity and sophistication of medieval and Renaissance scientific thought, the catalogue indicates the roots of intercultural transmission and the lines of inquiry which ultimately led to the discoveries of Galileo, Newton, Leibniz and others.
4. Exhibition at the Getty Center in Los Angeles
The medieval and early modern manuscripts drawn from the collection of Lawrence J. Schoenberg were displayed in a recent exhibition: Migrations of the Mind: Manuscripts from the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Collection; Getty Center, Los Angeles, November 17, 2009–April 18, 2010. This exhibition illustrates the progression of scientific knowledge and spiritual insight through the Middle Ages and Renaissance that laid the foundation for modern secular thought. The modern division between science and religion was not shared in the medieval and early modern period. Rather, this distinction was blurred, and in some intellectual communities scientific study and its artistic expression were viewed as a form of spirituality. The manuscripts in this exhibition illustrate the transmission of knowledge as a visual process and include subjects as diverse as philosophy, astronomy, geometry, music, architecture, engineering, technology, and alchemy. An historical vision of divine creator and human creativity was demonstrated in the production of some of these manuscripts.

Highlights from this extraordinary collection of illustrated manuscripts on the history of science and ideas, exhibited together publicly for the first time, demonstrate the circulation of knowledge around the world and across cultures during the medieval and early modern periods. Medieval Muslim and Christian medicine, Chinese acupuncture, secret experiments in alchemical laboratories, codebooks for keeping secrets secret, and French and Persian visions of the cosmos that blend science with spirituality were among the treasures on display. These manuscripts were produced for caliphs, popes, merchants, and scientists. Copied and illustrated by hand, their contents, their ideas and visions illustrate the human urge for knowledge and creative invention.
5. Selected Islamic manuscripts of science and medicine in Schoenberg's collection
The electronic catalogue of Schoenberg Collection at the website of the Schoenberg Center for Electronic Text and Image provides detailed descriptions of the manuscripts. We extracted from this rich catalogue the records pertaining to several Islamic manuscripts dealing with mechanics, engineering, medicine and alphabets and encoded letters.
5.1. Manuscript LJS 049
Title and date: Tashrih Mansuri, a medical work in Perian known in Arabic as Rawdat al-adhan fi ma'rifat tashrih badan al-'insan (A Treatise on the Anatomy of the Human Body); Persia, 813 H (1411 CE).
Physical Description: 32 folios, 20 lines, written in a clear cursive naskhi script, significant words picked out in red, with five full-page anatomical diagrams, rather stained, a few holes, some mould remaining, edges frayed and repaired on Oriental paper, many notations, 6v has a small diagram, 7 has a geometric shape, 7v a diagram, 11 diagram of bones, 17v nerves, 21v veins, 23v arteries, 32 complex organs, later red morocco binding, probably an autograph copy, 245 x 174 mm.
The author of this work, Mansur ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yusuf Faqih Ilyas (died after 1422), was a Persian anatomist and physician whose works were written between 1396 and 1423. This manuscript is probably an autograph copy of the author's most famous medical treatise. The Tashrih Mansuri (Anatomy of Mansur) is one of the most famous treatises on the human body. Written in 1396 and dedicated to Pir Muhammad Bahadur Khan, it quickly became very popular and influential.
The text consists of five chapters, a dedication, an introduction and a conclusion. The chapters discuss bones, nerves, veins, arteries/muscles, and complex organs. The chapter on bones gives their total number as 248. The nerves are described as hollow and as vehicles of the spirit and were attached to the brain. In the chapter on the veins, Mansur follows a traditional, but wrong, view previously expressed by Galen and Avicenna. He overlooks the century earlier revolutionary discovery by Ibn an-Nafis of the pulmonary circulation of the blood. The text is not completely original but it is very well organized and was used for generations of medical students. "The most remarkable feature of this treatise is the group of five colored schematic drawings illustrating respectively the bones, nerves, veins, arteries, and a woman's body with a womb containing a ripe foetus", Sarton, Introduction to the History of Science, 1948, p. 1729-30. The colophon on the penultimate folio of the present copy states that it was completed by the author himself in the month of Dhu 'l-hijja in the year 813 H (1411 CE), making it an extraordinary survival and one of the earliest codices of this seminal medical work. Remarkably, this codex has a different title (written in the same ink and handwriting as the rest of the text) and a slightly different name of the author including his nisba (indication of origin) - al Kashmiri al-Balkhi. None of the catalogues of the European, American or Asian collections suggests that they possess a copy written by the hand of the author.
F. 12: bones; f. 17v: nerves, there are no visible muscles in this drawing, words are used to indicate their position; f. 21v: veins; f. 23v: arteries; the alimentary system showing a stomach and a liver can be seen in the drawing; f. 31: arterial system of a pregnant woman, a woman's body with a womb containing a ripe fetus.
There is an indication that there was another picture prior to this one. Although Sarton (Introduction to the History of Science, Volume III, p.1729) and Ernest Sudhoff (Drei weitere anatomische Fnfbilderserien aus Abendland und Morgenland, AGM 3, pp. 165-87, 347-8) indicate that the five illustrations shown here are the standard for this text, there are some copies with a sixth illustration showing the muscles. There are at least 10 illustrated copies of the text.

5.2. Manuscript LJS 051
Title and date: [A Book of Alphabets and Encoded Letters], Syria?, XVth century.
Physical Description: 106 folios, collation:I2, II10, III-IV8, V10, VI4, VII6, VIII-XII10, XIII8, with catchwords in the lower left corner of each verso, 1 column, 13 lines, written in black naskhi and a variety of other scripts, some with the Arabic equivalent written above in red, occasional notes in the margins, half-leather binding, stamped, over plan varnished wood, with paper endsets, some staining and damage, lacking at beginning and end, 178 x 133 (119 x 82) mm.
A remarkable record of encrypted correspondence together with Arabic translations. This volume records communications written between the compiler and various correspondents. The original communications are in approximately one hundred and fifty invented and different 'alphabets', some of the letters of which have had the Arabic equivalent written above in red, possibly at a later date. They are decoded and transcribed also in Arabic. Islamic science is an important branch of Arabic medieval knowledge. It was an integral part of Islamic agriculture, chemistry, medicine and mathematics. Islamic culture developed numerous cryptograms for use by close social groups including scholars and magicians as well as tradesmen. They developed arcane scripts for bookkeeping and recording numbers. There are several other Islamic works on cryptograms including Ibn Wahshiyya's Kitāb Sharh al-mustaham fi Ma'rifat Rumuz al-Aqlam and the book called the Book by Ishrasim.
There is no colophon and neither the author nor the copyist is named in the text. The author's correspondents include Sharaf al-dīn Musa ibn Ijli al-Baridi, shams al-Dīn al-Ridha and, probably the most frequent, al-Shaykh Shihab al-Dīn Ahmad al-Mutarjim who is also called al-Makhdumi al-Alafi. This is a slightly corrupted form of the name Shibab ad-Dīn al-Djundi al-AlafI who is also the author's major authority for the codes. Other authorities mentioned include Burhan al-Dīn al-Qudsi al-Hanafi and Taqi al-Dīn Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Husayni. The text mentions the towns of Aleppo and Damascus and one of the passages recounts something that occurred in 'the 730s' H (= 1330s CE). This date would be consonant with the script and format of the book. The material is similar to the manner of explanation and arranging of Aydamir Djildaki, a well-known Arab alchemist who died in Cairo in 1342.
One of the alphabets employed, the 'tree-like' alphabet (al-qalam al-mushajjar) is identical to one of the same name given in the Kitāb Shawq al-mustaham fi ma'rifat rumuz al-aqlam (Book of the frenzied devotee's desire to learn about the riddles of ancient scripts) written in about 241 H (855 CE), where its invention is ascribed to Abū Bakr Ahmad ibn 'Ali ibn Wahshiyah; edition and English translation by J. Hammer-Purgstall, Ancient Alphabets and Hieroglyphic Characters Explained; with an Account of the Egyptian Priests, the Classes, Initiation and Sacrifices (London 1806), p. 38. Features of some of the other alphabets employed in this manuscript are also to be found in the treatise attributed to Ibn Wahshiyah but many of the alphabets are quite different.
While some of the characters in the alphabet used bear a structural or aesthetic resemblance to characters of the Arabic or Hebrew alphabets, the primary influence on their forms seems to be from the old square inscriptional forms of Aramaic. Some of the characters are composed of lines and combinations of lines ending in small circles, a resemblance to the Kalmosin or Angelic script used among Jews for cabalistic, alchemical and astrological symbolism and occasionally for ciphers. It is thought that these may have evolved from the copying onto papyrus or vellum of the hieroglyphic script of the Akkadians.
In the medieval Christian world cipher-alphabets were not frequently used. The preferred method was the systematic substitution of each Latin or Coptic letter by another. The nature of Arabic script, which involves many compulsory ligatures between neighboring letters and the use of variant forms at word-endings, was not conducive to the application of this kind of substitution cipher, encouraging the use of these arcane alphabets as an alternative method.
5.3. Manuscript LJS 355
Title and date: Kitab al-qanun fi at-tibb, edited by Muhammad Fali al-Katib, date in colophon, Ramadan 608 H/ 1212 CE, but probably 15th century.
Physical Description: Folio, 182 folios, collation: 1-1810, 192, contemporary Eastern Arabic foliation on lower center margin of each recto reaches [180] instead of [182], catchwords on every verso, single column of 51 lines, single-fillet border in black ink, written in black ink in a clear naskhi script, significant words in red, some restoration, in leather binding with tooled shamstyyas, the last three books with 2 missing folios, 320 x 215 (257 x 164) mm.
Abū Ali al-Husayn ibn Abdullah ibn Sinā (Latin: Avicenna), (Kharmaithen near Bukhara 980-1037 CE) was an outstanding and most famous Islamic scientist, philosopher and physician. The present text al-Qānūn fi-l-tibb or Liber Canonis (Canon of Medicine) is perhaps one of the greatest medical books in history. "It is an immense encyclopedia of medicine (of about a million words), a codification of the whole of ancient and Muslim knowledge" (Sarton, vol. I, p.710). The work is based on Galen and Hippocrates who had already been translated from Greek to Arabic. Although he borrowed from these authors, Ibn Sinā compiled the text over a long period of time and in different places. He introduced the results of his own long medical practice and scientific research, producing a work which was a standard in Muslim and Jewish culture and was immediately accepted as authoritative in Europe when it was translated into Latin. It was the first classified description of the human body, its diseases and their treatment. The Qānūn is a work of major importance in the histories of both Eastern and Western medical traditions. It was highly prized throughout the Islamic world where it was a standard text for seven centuries. In addition, it played in its Latin translation, a significant part in the development of pre-modern European medicine.
The whole work consists of five books, each book is divided into 'parts' (fan), 'instructions' (ta'lim), 'sums or classes' (gumla), 'divisions' (fasl) or 'articles' (maqala). The first book comprises the general knowledge of medicine and the second deals with simple drugs. This manuscript contains the last three books. The third describes disease of the head and then pathology, the fourth describes diseases of the body and cosmetics and the last book has information about compound drugs, ointments and electuaries.
A text of this importance was, of course, copied many times. Yet there is still no critical edition nor a complete textual history. Every manuscript of the Qānūn has therefore a possible formative role in the history of the text when it is finally written.
This manuscript LJS 355 is clearly laid out in a good but non-professional hand. This would suggest that it was for the use of a practitioner. It differs somewhat from the common version of the text. The colophon states that the book was edited by Mohammed ben Abi Shuja' ben Mohammed ben 'Ali al-Katib in the month of Ramadan 608 H (1212 CE). The paper stock suggests a date in the 15th century.

5.4. Manuscript LJS 386
Title and date: Kitab Mizan al-Hikma (Book of the Balance of Wisdom), ca 1270 CE.
Physical Description: 98 folios, some still in quires, 15 lines of neat naskhi script in black ink, section headings in larger riqa script in black ink, the first few opening lines are missing as well as the conclusion and some intervening sections, a few catchwords added later, as have occasional miniscule letters written under some of the undotted (muhmal) letters, paginated in a recent European hand, all of the major illustrations are intact and include 26 diagrams and 18 tables in red and black ink, some staining, many pages eaten away around the margin without loss of text, unbound in a dark green folder and box, text area 140 x 110 mm., 195 x 150 mm.
?Abd al-Ra?mān al-Khāzinī flourished in Marw (Merv in Turkmenistan), in the first half of the 12th century (around 1115-31). The main domains of his scientific activity are astronomy, mechanics, and scientific instruments. The most important of Al-Khāzinī's works is Kitāb mīzān al-?ikma (Book of the Balance of Wisdom), a treatise completed in 515 H (1121/1122) on the physical principles that underlie the hydrostatic balance as well as the construction and use of the instrument.
The main application of Al-Khazini's mīzān al-?ikma (balance of wisdom) or al-mīzān al-jāmi' (universal balance) was to discriminate accurately between pure and adulterated metals as well as between real gems and fakes. Al-Khāzinī's treatise is a long work, divided into eight books and eighty chapters, and its quotations bear witness to the classical sources, Greek and Arabic, on theoretical and applied mechanics until Al-Khāzinī's time (Pseudo Aristotle, Pseudo Euclid, Archimedes, Menelaus, Al-Isfizārī, Thābit ibn Qurra, Al-Rāzī, Al-Bīrūnī, Ibn al-Haytham, Al-Qūhī, and Al-Khayyām).
The book covers a wide range of topics related to statics, hydrostatics and practical mechanics; it discusses the definition of heavy and light, the centre of gravity, the stable and unstable equilibrium, as well as the theory of the definition of specific gravities and even the application of the balance for levelling and for measuring time. The second part of the book describes the construction and use of the so-called "balance of wisdom," a sophisticated instrument capable of measuring absolute and specific weights of solids and liquids and of calculating exchange rates of currencies. This balance was used for ordinary weighing, as well as for all purposes connected with the measuring of specific gravities, distinguishing of genuine and false metals, examining the composition of alloys, etc. In all these processes, the plates are moved until equilibrium is obtained and the desired magnitudes in many cases can at once be read on the divisions of the beam.
Al-Khāzinī's hydrostatic balance was superior in its accuracy to all those constructed by his predecessors. According to Al-Khāzinī's accurate descriptions, it was aimed at calculating tables of the specific gravities of many substances, both metallic and non metallic, attaining, in some cases, results which are correct to within one percent.

5.5. Manuscript LJS 399
Title and date: Inbāt al-miyāh al-khafiyah (the search for hidden waters). Iraq or Persia, 20 February 1674 (14 Dhu'l Qa'da 1084 H).
Physical Description: 49 folios, 15 lines, rubrication and overlining in red, catchwords, 14 large diagrams in black and red, written in a nasta'liq script in black ink, brown morocco binding, blind-tooled, damaged and rebacked, 190 x 125 mm.
Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Karaji (953-c.1029 CE) was a famous mathematician who left Baghdad in his later years to live in the mountains. He then wrote this treatise on the tapping of subterranean waters around 1011 CE. The introduction to the manuscript indicates that this work was written in Iraq, as were the author's other algebraic works. Inbāt al-miyāh al-khafiyah (the search for hidden waters) is "an excellent manual on hydraulic water supplies; it contains some autobiographical notes, as well as a discussion of a series of conceptions relative to the geography of the globe; [it] describes a number of surveying instruments, the geometrical bases of which he demonstrates, and ends with very concrete details on the construction and servicing of 'qanats', subterranean tunnels for providing water in arid places. He likewise discusses the basis of the Shar'ia, the legality of the construction of wells and hydraulic conduits and in what circumstances these might be prejudicial to the people" (Encyclopedia of Islam, IV, pp. 599-600).
The chapters listed below amply demonstrate that al-Karaji takes the reader through every stage of building a "qanat' from determining where to drill the test well to the upkeep of the completed 'qanat':
- On the earth (al-'ardh)
- On subterranean waters (al-miyah al-khafikah)
- On plants that indicate the presence of water
- On barren mountains
- Types of water and their tastes
- On the various qualities of different types of water
- How to clean contaminated water
- On the seasons
- On soil
- On the sayings of the elders
- On caves and dried wells and how to determine if water can be found
- On earthquakes and the appearance and movement of springs
- On bringing water to the surface and the use of pipes
- On what the Elders said about springs in barren land
- Things that should not be done in 'qanats' and wells
- A further list of things not to be done in 'qanats' and wells
- On obstructions encountered when drilling for water
- On steam emanating from wells
- The force of water as an obstruction
- On the use of a 'tower' to divert the water
- On putty to attach to the 'tower'
- On changing the position of the 'tower'
- On water measures
- On old water measures
- Measurement of mountains
- The construction of 'qanats'
- On the straightness of drills under the earth in barren areas and springs
- Drilling with drills, which are not straight
- On the preservation of 'qanats' from becoming ruined
- How to deal with blockages
- Maintenance of 'qanats'.

when we went to make a drink we found there was no milk available other than from the mini bar although a fairly large bottle felt £5 a bit excessive a know we could have phoned for milk but felt a bit silly
Anniversary Treat
My wife and I have stayed at the Grosvenor before and as we expected this would be a fantastic experience, we also walked around the city and visited several places of interest during the day.
We are both looking forward to our next visit. All the staff were very helpfull and indeed very professional.

Great one night stay in deluxe suite
Service A1.
Staff friendly and nothing too much trouble. Lovely food in the Simon Radley restaurant and the wine A1. Pricey however you only get what you pay for and it was quality overall. The only one niggle was I expected the room to be a little more glamourous in terms of the décor. I would visit again but go for a cheaper room.

My stay was fab!!.
Me and my friend also had a spa which consist of a massage which was amazing. The room and food was also lovely. My only complaint was at breakfast, the staff brought you to your table and if you didn't give your order for breakfast we had to wait a good while before we got it. The staff made no eye contact so it was a bit of a nightmare to get there attention. I did make it a issue with the manager who may I say polite and very accommodating with my complaint. And as a gesture of good will reimbursed me for the two days breakfast.

Hotel review
Breakfast was very poor and service cold and impersonal in the restaurant
Bell boys brilliant
Reception staff very good
Good hotel
Old fashioned classic food but done to a high standard none the less.
Same can be said for the hotel, quite dated but it works and it all adds to the charm of the hotel.
Air conditioning fan had a rattle which was a minor annoyance but overall the room (418) was excellent!

The Chester Grosvenor
Booked a night as a treat for my mum, we had the most relaxed enjoyable time, the hotel made us feel so special.
They can not do enough for you.
Everything is top quality, big beautiful beds, large bedroom, just don't have anything out of the bar out of the fridge, extremely over priced.
I have already booked for 2 nights in December, so we have chance to use the spa.

Reputation is everything. That's especially true in America, a country where tourists spend $166 billion annually, lured by the image of the American lifestyle, according to The Atlantic.
But what is the image we have of our own biggest cities? Real estate listing site Movoto wanted to find out. They organized an online survey that got more than 13,000 responses from across the nation.
The survey presented people online with one of the 16 biggest cities in America, based on population density, and asked a range of questions about their perceptions of that city — from how clean they thought the city was to how easy they thought it would be to "get laid" there.
Respondents ranked cities on a scale of 1 to 4, and the cities with the highest percentage of 3s and 4s, compared to overall responses to a category, won that superlative. Los Angeles got a lot of love, while people tended to have a poor opinion of Detroit, which lost nearly every category. Below the results, you can check out all the cities that were in the running.

Female patient victim of a high-speed car accident (rear passenger with belt). At start of care by emergency services, she was found in a coma, Glasgow of 5, with anisocoria (right > left) and a frontal deteriorating scalp wound (15-20 cm) with extensive bleeding. She was intubated prior to transfer to the university hospital.
The body scan is provided.
My report:
Cranioencephalic space:
Left acute subdural hematoma with a maximum thickness of 3 mm with no mass effect.
Moderate volume subarachnoid hemorrhage (bilateral in the cortical sulci of the vertex and interpeduncular cistern).
Left occipital cortical hemorrhagic petechiae.
No median line structure deviation.
Bilateral frontal skin wound.
Bone aspects: fracture of the left tympanic bone and fracture of the walls of the sphenoid sinus with hemosinus.
Vascular aspects: dissection of the subpetrous portion of both internal carotids (left aneurysmal dissection).
(N.B.: calcification of the lentiform nuclei and degenerative cervical spine)
No posttraumatic cervical spine lesions.
Thoracic space:
Biapical layer of pneumothorax.
Foci of middle lobar and left superior lobar contusions.
Hemomediastinum with probably posttraumatic dissecting pseudoaneurysm of the right branch of the pulmonary artery, with no active bleeding.
A few pockets of posterosuperior pneumomediastinum with no indication of a tracheobronchial tract wound.
Fracture of the anterior arch of the 2nd and 3rd right ribs with extrapleural contact hematoma.
Non-displaced fractures of the anterior arch of the 2nd, 8th, 9th and 10th left ribs.
Abdominopelvic space
Presence of some pockets of perihepatic air, but which appear to be in the preperitoneal space.
However, extra-intestinal pneumoperitoneal air pockets dorsal to the umbilicus with marked parietal contact thickening of the jejunal loops (and transmural enhancement defect of one jejunal loop in the left flank suggestive of gastrointestinal perforation).
Inter-loop and Douglas pouch hemoperitoneum.
No posttraumatic lesions of the intra-abdominal solid organs.
Small volume of hemoretroperitoneum related to distraction-flexion Chance type fracture, combining:
- an "open" transverse fracture of the spinous apophysis of L3,
- a fracture of the right superior joint of L4 with no dislocation,
- a fracture of the right and left transverse processes of L3 and L4,
- an anterior comminuted fracture of the vertebral body of L4 with compression but no posterior wall recession.
All these elements and the fracture mechanism are suggestive of damage to the disks and yellow and inter-spinous ligaments: unstable fracture.
Note: gastric filling despite the presence of a nasogastric tube and the fortuitous discovery of an 8 mm cystic lesion of the head of the pancreas and a lipoma of the small intestine.
N.B.: visualization of an articular fracture of the left wrist on the abdominopelvic acquisition (arm left along the body).
Craniocerebral trauma, Carotid artery injury with dissection, traumatic perforation of GI tract, pulmonary artery injury, Chance fracture
- Emergency gastrointestinal surgery with, during the laparotomy: left transverse colon contusion with serous wound, cecal contusion and presence of a sutured jejunal anti-mesenteric centimetric wound.
- Semi-emergency lumbar spine surgery: percutaneous posterior osteosynthesis.
- Basic monitoring, without curative anticoagulation, of the bilateral carotid dissection; discuss the possibility of endovascular treatment (angioplasty).
- Clinical monitoring and transesophageal ultrasonography of the pulmonary arterial pseudoaneurysm in the near future.
- Screw-plate osteosynthesis of the external cuneal fracture of the left wrist.
Important points:
- "Seat belt syndrome" comprises Chance type fractures of the lumbar spin, intestinal and mesenteric injuries, and vascular lesions of the large abdominal vessels, which should be investigated systematically.
- The best sign of posttraumatic intestinal perforation is the visualization of a break in the continuity of an intestinal loop (or a lack of focal enhancement) associated with extra-intestinal contact air pockets.
- Pulmonary artery injuries are exceptionally reported in CT analysis; they are indicative of a violent mechanism.

OK, this is pretty much the last day of calm before the entire Super Bowl shitstorm blows up, so here's your last chance to catch your breath.
Sometime tonight, our intrepid A.J. Daulerio will land in the greater Detroit area; expect the first of countless missives (OK, fine: You'll probably be able to actually count them) to arrive tomorrow. He might even have himself a little video action. Plus, we have a sneaking suspicion he's going to give Jimmy Kimmel a wedgie.
To keep yourself entertained until then, we suggest OutSports' Gay Guide To The Super Bowl (complete with extensive glossary of Homoerotic Football Terms), you can check out the city of Detroit desperately doing some last-minute tidying up or you can read Chuck Klosterman's blog at Page 2. (You can tell it's an ESPN "blog" because, well, there are no links. Whoever heard of links from a blog?)
Anyway, let the madness begin.

About the Recruitment and Retention Wiki
Return to ACRL Recruitment and Retention Wiki Homepage
We developed the ACRL Recruitment and Retention Wiki as part of the 2007 ALA Emerging Leaders Program. With guidance, support, and materials from Julie Todaro, 2006-2007 ACRL Vice President/President Elect, we created the wiki to serve as a resource and forum for information about recruitment and retention of new academic librarians. Our primary audiences are the members and leaders of ALA and ACRL, library directors, and deans of library schools, but librarians just entering the profession will also find helpful information about the trends and issues that may influence their career.
The members of the Emerging Leaders Group C have written extended bios that explain what drew us to librarianship, what we do in our current positions, and what we learned from this project. We hope that these testimonials will give brief, personal glimpses into why we chose to become librarians and why we continue to enjoy our work.

I'm at the point in the pregnancy where I have absolutely no energy, and am spending many an hour reading in my new zero-gravity chair (the only place I'm comfy right now!)
Kate Christensen's Trouble was a completely engrossing way to spend a day. In Trouble, forty-something Manhattanite Josie has an epiphany when she spots her own sexy reflection across the room as she flirts with a stranger at a cocktail party: she has endured her passionless marriage long enough and must end it immediately. She sets the separation in motion the very next day. Meanwhile, she's asked to spend some time in Mexico City with her best pal Raquel, an aging rock star who is getting slaughtered in the tabloids after sleeping with a celebrity half her age. It turns out the young actor has a pregnant girlfriend, and Raquel is being vilified as an evil cougar on the gossip blogs she obsessively checks every day. Josie's husband doesn't want to fight for his marriage, and her indifferent 13-year-old daughter calmly accepts the news of the separation, so Josie hops on a plane to support her pal (and party it up a little).
The women do party it up, and unsurprisingly, Josie meets a man. The book introduces many interesting themes: aging, sexual awakening, the mother-daughter relationship, female friendship, class divisions, the power of online media. Unfortunately, it falls short of its potential, and doesn't satisfactorily explore any of these themes. Yet Troubleis still an absorbing, evocative book to pass a lazy hazy day.

In-Depth LCD Buying Guide - What Monitor Should I Buy?
Others/Miscelleneous by rutar @ 2008-03-14
Before the LCD displays arrived, the choice of a monitor has been fairly easy. With CRTs you had screen size, refresh rates and price and you could be fairly sure that you did not have to worry about anything more. With LCDs, it is a different matter and this guide aims at helping you understand what the marketing gibberish means and what you really need to look for.

Charming Kailua bed & breakfast
This two-story Kailua home is so cute, you'll probably want it all for yourself. But if you want the option to rent it out (legally), it's nice to know the choices are there. (Click here for details.)
The current owners live in California most of the year, and have used this property as their second home, running the bed and breakfast during the periods they have lived in Hawaii. The home has a bed and breakfast Non-Conforming Use certificate, which could be transferred and maintained by the new owner.
"These are rare and add significant value to the home, whether as an investor or owner-occupant," says realtor Yvonne Ahearn.
Located down a private lane, this beach house was originally built in 1944 and, although it has undergone several additions, still retains a classic feel. The home has been well maintained through the years, as well, with many of the original kitchen cupboards andtile counters lending to its retro chic.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom home also has an attached studio, which has the option of becoming a ground floor master bedroom or a rental—since it has a separate entrance.
The open living space, dining area, kitchen and full bath are also located downstairs. The ground level has tile floors, a feature specifically done to ease the mess of sandy feet, since it's located just three homes from the beach.
The entire upstairs is single-wall redwood, with traditional canec ceilings. All three bedrooms, plus the master-bedroom sized sunroom with closet and views, are upstairs, plus a large bathroom with board-and-batten styling to give it the ambience of a plantation home.
"It is the lowest priced home for sale at the moment in Beachside, yet is move-in ready," adds Ahearn.
You can see it in person on Thursday, July 12, as it will be open from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Money talk: $1,200,000 fee simple

Chambliss exit triggers scramble
It's open season for ambitious Georgia Republicans after Sen. Saxby Chambliss's surprise retirement announcement on Friday.
And Democrats insisted — despite the Peach State's solid red hue — that the newly open seat is a "prime" pickup opportunity in 2014.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Saxby Chambliss to retire)
Georgia Rep. Tom Price, who had expressed interest in challenging Chambliss in a primary, is "speaking with a number of folks across the state of Georgia" to decide whether he should run, his spokesman Ellen Carmichael said in an email.
Georgia Rep. Jack Kingston told POLITICO Friday that he is "definitely looking" at running. Rep. Paul Broun also had been weighing a primary against Chambliss; he did not react immediately to the retirement news.
Other names mentioned are Reps. Tom Graves and Phil Gingrey, former Georgia secretary of state and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel and former presidential candidate Herman Cain. Eric Tanenblatt, Gov. Sonny Perdue's former chief of staff and a major donor in Atlanta, is also seen as a potential candidate.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who represented Georgia in the House, will not seek the Senate seat, said spokesman R.C. Hammond.
The primary could feature several inside-the-Beltway figures. Georgia has nine Republicans in the House, and each of them would bring different advantages to the race.
GOP insiders acknowledge that Price would be among the most competitive of the lot. He's the former chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, showing his conservative bona fides. With eight years in D.C. and $1 million in the bank, he's a strong fundraiser. And he's clearly looking to make a move — he recent lost a race for House Republican Conference chair to Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington state.
Kingston brings experience: he is currently the longest-serving House Republican from Georgia, having been elected in 1992. Broun, a physician, is a favorite of the tea party set, but has only roughly $165,000 in his campaign account.
Gingrey, also among the most conservative Republicans in the House, has recently gotten into hot water for seeming to agree with former Rep. Todd Akin's comments on rape — although he walked those comments back.
( PHOTOS: 13 things more popular than Congress)
The 42-year-old Graves, who took Gov. Nathan Deal's seat in June 2010, is the youngest of the contenders.
"There's not a single Republican congressman that I would take off the list at this point," said veteran Georgia GOP strategist Paul Bennecke, a former executive director for the state GOP. "I think all of them are going to look in the mirror and say, 'I could be the next U.S. senator.'"

Lions players are saying they've moved on from Titus Young.
He may be closer to moving out, himself.
The mutinous wide receiver was among the Lions inactives for the second straight week, and according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, he wasn't at the stadium as of 11 a.m.
The Lions have taken a stern approach to Young, but they also drafted him, and he didn't suddenly become selfish and a headache for coaches when he crossed the Michigan state line.

The Grundig CD-i players
>> Sunday, November 25, 2007
How Grundig got involved in the production of CD-i players is because it used to be part of Philips from around 1990 to 1996. I always wondered why Philips never used the Aristona brand to put budget CD-i players on the market (Like they did with Magnavox), but they put the use of the Grundig brand by producing an OEM version of the Philips 220 and 470 CD-i player. The Grundig family had quite some influence in the contract when Philips came in the picture and it cost Philips a lot of money to get rid of Grundig in 1996, after it wasn't a very profitable company. These Grundig CD-i players were sold in Germany, the home basis of Grundig (It's more popular in Germany than anywhere else). In the end, the grundig CD-i players are identically the same as the Philips versions (all parts are the same).

Follow Yourself: Lead Your Life, Your Team, Your Community
November 17 2017 - November 19 2017
Dr. Ellen Schupbach, Dr. Max Schupbach
A Deep Democracy seminar demonstrating and practicing our approach to working with your body, your mind, and with teams, organizations, and world issues.
This seminar is offeredat a reduced price. It is a standalone seminar and an introduction to our 2 year certification training starting in Amsterdam in 2018
What Is Deep Democracy and Process Work?
Deep Democracy, developed by Arnold Mindell, is an innovative whole-system, holographic paradigm that links individual development, team and organizational development, and world changes in one cohesive theory. It unifies elements of modern physics and complexity theory, understandings from indigenous cosmologies, as well as cutting-edge psychological research and perennial wisdoms from the world's spiritual beliefs. The framework can be used to work on personal and professional development, team development, organizational development, and universal world changes. Depending on the context, it naturally shows the connection between these processes at any given moment, and follows the process of the person or group, assisting them to discover and remember their deep nature and its present expression.
Entanglement and holographic effects: Deep Democracy assumes that a personal, individual "life myth" process—our term for a deeper essential direction in your life—is intricately linked to or entangled with the organizing principle behind world changes, and that the experiences we have in our inner lives, our relationships, our teams, and the world at large are symmetrical; they are local expressions of larger universal processes. Our work naturally follows the scope and scale of the process unfolding, be it for an individual in a coaching practice, an executive committee in a corporation, a social movement in an informal settlement, or government branch with a specific task at hand.
Process Work, another term for Deep Democracy, has a vast array of tools that assist in bringing these hidden structures to the forefront, allowing creative, often surprising, solutions to spring out of complications.
This three-day workshop will provide an overview and introduction of the theoretical approach, and demonstrate skills that you can use for your own development, work, coaching with individuals, and facilitating groups and communities in diverse settings. It will also serve as an introduction to our two-year training program, starting in 2018.
Day 1–Your Deepest Nature: A Best-Kept Secret: This day will focus on Deep Democracy's approaches to inner work. We will show and practice together how body experiences and personal-development experiences (mind/body) are symmetrical, and how Deep Democracy's work with your symptoms and health (including deep dreaming processes behind lifestyle habits like eating, exercising, sleeping, etc) can deepen and enrich your life, so you can embody your deep nature. We will show how to discover and remember your life myth, an individual, essential pattern or core gift that finds expressions through you in diverse forms, depending on context. Think of it as a journey principle that assists you in using all of yourself in different locations and stations in your life's journey. It can be used to work on personal- and professional-development issues, and as a universal approach to coaching individuals. It is a key to understanding inner conflicts and finding congruent strength in the face of adversities.
Day 2–Creativity, Conflict Resolution, and Group Facilitation: We will learn to discover the creativity of marginalized information in relationships. Marginalized information contains surprising and creative new elements. We will show how to use it to make personal and team relationships richer, more meaningful, more unified, and more fun. We will later introduce, demonstrate, and practice large-group facilitation. Deep Democracy was developed to work with highly conflicted groups that don't agree on ground rules, or even dialogue sometimes. Our large-group-facilitation model "follows process" and is adaptable to working in very diverse settings. (Please visit our website for examples of large-group facilitations in governments, corporations, spiritual communities, slums, public spaces, prisons, etc.)
Day 3–Your Work, Your Song, Your Path: Our last day focuses on your personal development and leadership style, your "song" created out of your own learning from your insights and experiences in the previous days, tools you learned, and experiences in our ad-hoc community of co-learners, and how to sing it in the world—your community, your workplace, your family.
Ellen SchupbachPhD, Dip PW, is executive director of the Deep Democracy Institute. She coaches individuals internationally, and studies and teaches Process Work and Deep Democracy in a large variety of locations and cultures and throughout the globe. Her particular focus is on assisting individuals and groups to bring their deepest hopes and inspirations into the reality of their everyday lives.
Max Schupbach PhD, Dip PW, CPF, is the director of development of Deep Democracy Institute. He is a co-founder of the Process Work and Deep Democracy movement and co-founded many of its international institutes and training programs. He coaches leaders across industries, governments, and spiritual communities, and consults a wide variety of organizations worldwide. His work is featured in many national TV and press programs that you can find on our website.
Ellen and Max are co-founders of the Deep Democracy Institute, a think tank, consulting group, and training institute, with sister organizations in the USA, Africa, Ukraine, Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. The Deep Democracy Institute focuses on bringing the parallel worlds of personal growth and psychology, spiritual directions and religion, social and environmental justice, and science, politics, and business into one world across the globe. Ellen and Max migrate between prolonged stays in a small village on the Oregon Coast, and in Deep Democracy learning communities across the globe.

Fintech startup expands to meet growing need for medical loans
In a wine cellar three years ago, four finance industry veterans launched a company to lend money through a web-based platform to people who don't have perfect credit.
In the post-Great Recession world, Kennesaw, Ga.-based LendingPoint saw an opportunity in what is called the "near prime" market, borrowers whose credit rating is in the 600-700 range. LendingPoint loaned $15 million its first year, according to Tom Burnside, one of the founders and chief executive officer.
LendingPoint has since reached $260 million in loans, employs more than 100 and the company no longer occupies Burnside's wine cellar.
Now, LendingPoint has added a twist to its core business – making loans easier to obtain for covering out-of-pocket medical expenses.
"We do a lot of medical as is," Burnside said of the company's standard lending.
But a new deal with ezVerify, a healthcare information technology company based in Miramar Beach, Fla., gives patients more accurate information on what insurance will pay and what they have to pay themselves. With ezCarePoint, the new service partnership between LendingPoint and ezVerify, the loan decision can be processed quickly, before the procedure is performed so a patient doesn't get hit later with unexpected expenses.
The market size for this type of lending could be in the tens of millions. According to a 2014 survey from The Commonwealth Fund, a New York-based private foundation that promotes improving the healthcare system, 31 million adults aged 19-64 who have insurance had such high out-of-pocket expenses or deductibles relative to their incomes that they were underinsured.
At the time, 44 percent of those underinsured skipped needed care because of the cost. Half of the underinsured had debt loads of about $4,000.
Burnside said that $3,500-$4,500 is the average loan for medical expenses, roughly a third of the average standard loan LendingPoint makes.
Sara Collins, the foundation's vice president for healthcare coverage and access, said out-of-pocket expenses could increase with changes proposed in Congress to the Affordable Care Act.
"The Senate bill to repeal and replace the ACA would dramatically increase out of pocket cost exposure by reducing the share of costs covered in benchmark plans from 70 percent to 58 percent," Collins wrote in an email response to questions.
She expressed concern that people should have to borrow money to cover deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses.
"We should be focused on lowering cost barriers to healthcare for people, rather than increasing their costs and medical bills by making them take loans out to cover their costs," Collins said. "This would not encourage people to get the healthcare that they need, just increase the risk of high medical bills and debt loads."
Burnside agreed that healthcare costs are challenging in general.
"We can't resolve all of those other issues," he said. "We can only resolve the issue in front of someone needing a medical procedure."
LendingPoint's program is open to those with prime credit as well as near prime. The introductory interest rate is no more than 10.99 percent, Burnside said, lower than LendingPoint's regular rates, which can run up to 35 percent. The longest term is 48 months.
"It's a lot cheaper than putting it on a credit card," he said.
But the product also has an option of paying off the loan in six months with no interest.
The deal with ezVerify emerged after looking more closely at the source of borrowers seeking the loans. Burnside said they discovered that ezVerify was already integrated at the point of sale with hospitals, making the application and loan process more efficient and quicker.
For the borrowers, the need for a loan to cover medical costs is part of the story they tell in the application process. LendingPoint markets itself as looking beyond the credit score in making the loan determination.
And the borrower they target is one that major banks tend to shun.
"Bank don't want to serve consumers with fair credit," said Juan Tavares, LendingPoint's chief strategy officer and a co-founder. "But these consumers don't want the other option."
That other option involves payday loans with high interest rates. Tavares said one goal is helping the borrower graduate to a better credit rating.
Most of the transactions are done through a mobile website, Burnside said. And surprisingly, about half the people approved for loans never take them.
"They just want to see if they can get one," he said.
LendingPoint currently operates in 13 states, but is planning to increase coverage to 44 states through a partnership with Utah-based FinWise Bank.
LendingPoint will add more employees as it embarks on the broader nationwide lending quest.
"That will probably push us up to $40 million-$50 million a month," Burnside said.
Editor's note: A previous version of this article misspelled the name of Juan Tavares.

The cause of a fire that leveled an abandoned house in minutes Thursday afternoon may never be determined.
The fire at 847 Tom Barnwell Drive was reported about 5 p.m. About 30 minutes after the first call for help, firefighters announced the structure was already leveled.
Alamance County Fire Marshal David Leonard said the cause of the blaze has yet to be determined. He said neighbors said the structure hadn�t been inhabited in about five years. A number of combustible materials were stored inside.
�We�re still working with the Alamance County Sheriff�s Office on an investigation,� Leonard said.
He said the house wasn�t secured. Once it was ignited, it burned quickly.
Members of the Faucette Township Volunteer Fire Department responded to the blaze. Leonard said they took a defensive stance as soon as they arrived, quickly realizing the fire was too involved to extinguish. The floor of the house was already collapsing before firefighters arrived.
�They never made an entry due to weak floors and other factors,� Leonard said.
Tom Barnwell Drive is a dead-end dirt road just off Graham-Hopedale Road, just outside the Burlington city limits.
