BOONE—At the close of the 2016 fiscal year, Appalachian State University's Office of Research (OR) reported receiving more than $15 million in external funding – grants from government, non-profit agencies, business and industry — which surpassed a goal set in the university's 2014 – 2019 Strategic Plan to increase grant funding to $15 million by the year 2019.
The plan mandated "advancing knowledge and addressing the challenges of our region, state and world through creativity and innovation." Last year, the OR closed the fiscal year at $12.9 million.
Chancellor Sheri N. Everts said, "In addition to illustrating the priority our faculty have made of seeking grant funding, this substantial increase represents the high quality of research being conducted. Appalachian's faculty are leaders within their fields and their stellar work has been recognized with funding awards. Not only does this funding advance their research, it strengthens the academic experience for the students they teach and benefits our community and state."
According to Dr. Alan Utter, interim vice provost for research, funding increased 50 percent since 2014, from $10.9 million to $16.2 million in 2016. "The big payoff," Utter said, "is that more faculty and students can participate in innovative research, service projects and creative endeavors across a number of disciplines."
Utter credits "our faculty, first and foremost, for stepping up to the plate and submitting grants" for the significant increase. "That's No. 1," he said. "It takes time and dedication to plan these out and compete."
But, he added, institutional changes were important factors as well. "First, the strategic decision to separate the Office of Research from the graduate school two years ago is giving a message to the faculty and staff that research and creative endeavors on our campus are important – important enough to have a dedicated office to that mission."
Utter said other institutional factors that have impacted external funding success include:
- a chancellor, provost, deans and department chairs who are committed to recruiting faculty with innovative ideas that can be funded;
- actively recruiting faculty who are willing to mentor students in the art of research and make them part of their research goals, and who have the training and expertise to seek external funding, and
- an Office of Research that is well staffed and prepared to help with budgets, reviews and compliance.
Furthermore, Utter said, there have been policy and programmatic changes that have put an emphasis on and given support to expanded research efforts:
- a pilot Faculty Reassigned Time Program that allots approved faculty non-teaching time to write grants;
- a travel grant program that allows faculty interested in applying for a federal grant, to meet, get guidance and develop relationships with federal grant program officers;
- a newly established Office of Research Consultation, staffed by a faculty member who gives statistical guidance for grant content;
- a grant proposal development program that focuses on all key elements of writing a successful grant, and
- access to an outside consulting source for grants with the highest likelihood of being funded to provide expert content analysis and feedback before the grant is submitted.
As envisioned in the university's strategic plan, external funding secured by faculty affiliated with the university's two research institutes — Research Institute for Energy, Economics and the Environment and the Institute for Health and Human Services — will directly impact and create innovation solutions for local and state issues surrounding health, energy and the environment. "These institutes and the necessary funding from appropriate partners allow faculty members across colleges and multiple disciplines to focus on and address complex problems which ultimately benefit our state and the educational/research experience for our students," Utter said.
Of the seven institutions in the UNC system that do not offer doctoral programs, Appalachian generally ranks third or fourth in external funding, Utter said. He expects to be No. 1 or 2 by 2019.
Student research support
The bulk of the external funding is directed to faculty, Utter said, but the university has maintained an institutional Office of Student Research for the last 11 years.
The office has funded more than 4,700 students over that time period and Appalachian's acceptance to the two main student research conferences – one in North Carolina and the other a national conference on undergraduate research – is usually first or second among the other UNC system institutions.
"Our faculty have stepped up to the plate," Utter said. "They get them into the lab, into the field. It makes a huge difference in the numbers of students who matriculate into research and Ph.D. programs."
About Appalachian State University
As the premier public undergraduate institution in the state of North Carolina, Appalachian State University prepares students to lead purposeful lives as global citizens who understand and engage their responsibilities in creating a sustainable future for all. The Appalachian Experience promotes a spirit of inclusion that brings people together in inspiring ways to acquire and create knowledge, to grow holistically, to act with passion and determination, and to embrace diversity and difference. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Appalachian is one of 17 campuses in the University of North Carolina System. Appalachian enrolls more than 19,000 students, has a low student-to-faculty ratio and offers more than 150 undergraduate and graduate majors.

Four Stars
I love Ben Howard's music. His debut album, Every Kingdom, was magical and vivid and atmospheric. His soft voice brimmed with feeling; it was uplifting – literally – it carried you far from the present moment, soaring through the beautiful world the lyrics beguiled into being.
I Forget Where We Were is very different in tone and emphasis, though no less accomplished. This time, the songs' focal point is downwards, sinking through dark, reverberating strings; the choruses expanding outwards rather than up, weighted down, perhaps, by the predominant emotion of the record: grief.
It is, without a shadow of doubt, built on loss and heartbreak. From the single 'End of the Affair': "Living without her / Living at all / Seems to slow me down / Living forever / Hell, I don't know / Do I care, do I care?" to highlight of the album 'In Dreams' with refrain, "I live alone now, I live alone in life without you here" the lyrics tell of being trapped in loneliness, and of a disillusionment with the heady summersaulting happiness of Every Kingdom.
You can hear traces of the Ben Howard of old in stand-out tracks 'She Treats Me Well' and 'Let's Go Dancing', but here too, the enmeshing harmonies echo with a forlorn weariness. The familiar acoustic deftness at the forefront of 'In Dreams' is enveloped by lo-fi electric guitar notes in title track 'I Forget Where We Were' and desperate finale 'All Is Now Harmed'.
But the highlight for me is opening track 'Small Things' for its hollow but resounding start, withheld at first, filled with air and darkness, but by the end reaching a faster, unyielding plateau of relentless and rippling noise. While equally worth a mention is sleepy and mournful 'Evergreen' with the delicately haunting chorus: "Take me back to the catacombs / I am tempted by her love / Bluest eyes against my own skin / I've never been so caught up."
On first listen I was a little unsure, my expectations naturally elevated by Every Kingdom. But after listening to each song several times, I was quickly convinced. Behind the melancholic exterior, I Forget Where We Were offers something enduring and strangely addictive, something that merits a different kind of appreciation from its predecessor, compelling you to listen again and again to try in vain to pinpoint exactly what it might be.

Dasa gives a system whereby we see the results which impact the native in a time period. Each Dasha is controlled by one planet. It is the disposition and relationship of this planet, that the promised events are reflected. The results which a planet promises in its Dasa has to be studied by a careful analysis of the planet.
The Vimshottari Dasha is a 120 year cycle of planetary position based on the position of Moon in one of the lunar mansions called Nakshatras. We have started the book explaining various Dasas. The first basic principles have been explained at length.
In the next part we go in details, discussing the strength of the planet depending upon position of planets, lordship and various rules that modify the strength.
Each Dasa and its predictive aspect are explained in details. It takes into consideration the sign in which the planet is posited. It also explains the effect of directional strength, state of the planet and the divisional strength. This will enable the reader to make an overall assessment of the planet whose Dasa is being analyzed for a native.
The next part dwells with the rules that have to be followed while taking the impact of Sub Period in the major period (Dasa) of the planet. We have in details discussed factors that strengthen or weaken the result which is promised. Further the impact of other vectors, like the transit and strength have been explained.
The predictive aspect for Major and Sub Period of all planets have been dwelled in length. The results in general for all Dasas have been explained not only for Antardasha (Sub Period) but also for Pratyantar (Sub – Sub Period), Sookshma (Sub Sub Sub Period) and Prana Dasa (Sub Sub Sub Sub Period).
To conclude an important chapter has been put which talks of the Avashtas (State) of Planets and their effects. This will be of great help in doing predictions.
This book which is the sixth book in the encyclopedia will be useful for those doing predictions as well as for the research students. A lot of research and also we have tried to cover all aspects that are required to understand the Dasa System.

|Albert Belle was certainly an enigma for the Cleveland Indians, Major League Baseball and even in the community.
Belle did not like the reporters, and the media probably did not like him too well.
There was also some crazy incidents in his private life.
Belle overall just seemed to be a guy that had a mean disposition.
If Belle would have smiled more and played nice with the media, would he have a shot at the HOF?

|He was an asshole but didn't have the longevity. He didn't hit any milestone: no 2,000 hits, no 400 HRs, no .300 BA, no 1,000 runs. He broke 1,000 RBIs and that's it.

Albert Belle=Prince FielderHe didn't really retire, he was forced out with a hip injury that was almost as bad as Bo Jackson's. The pain that he endured just to take a simple AB was more than he could deal with. He had financial security and he left. I really liked him as a player and loved his "Fuck Everybody" attitude.

Erick Von Erich
|Should've been the 1995 AL MVP. I remember a radio interview with some reporter who had a vote and said: "I voted for Mo Vaughn. Because who would you rather have come over to your house-- Vaughn or Belle?" Thought that was such BS reasoning. No way the Indians even sniffed the postseason without Belle around, that year.
(FWIW, in that same year Dante Bichette should've been the NL MVP, but that's a whole different thing)
In his career, Belle was also connected with the weird "climb through the ceiling" corked bat scenario. Plus his alcohol problems before becoming "Albert", and his Phenomenal Forearm into Fernando Vina.
In a way, I respected him for going through counseling at a young age and re-inventing himself as "Albert", instead of "Joey". Seemed like a bust in 1990, but he came back in 1991, was a completely different player, and never looked back.
Like ya' said, his career was about 2-3 years too short for HOF discussion. He played in the 90's, which will always raise suspicion about a batter's numbers.

|Worst contract in Baltimore Orioles history. Orioles fans today are still bitter over it.
Belle signed for five years and $65 million. The Orioles thought they were stealing the slugger away from the New York Yankees. Instead, they got an angry man with a chronic hip condition.
He had a splendid first year, hitting 37 home runs with 117 RBIs, a .297 average and a .400 on-base percentage.
On the day Belle hit three home runs, he decided to talk to the press for the first and only time that season. He spoke, not in the Orioles clubhouse, but in the press dining room and chose the occasion to denounce a beat writer.
Belle broke down late in 2000, and didn't play the final three years of his contract. He was on his way to a Hall of Fame career, but it was over at 33. He wasn't missed
Many teammates say he was understood because in his prime, Belle rarely missed a game, but the contract gnawed at the Orioles for years afterwards.

Whether you're a parent or a student, check out our top tips to make applying for a school scholarship a breeze!
What you'll have to send in to apply for a scholarship will vary from school to school, but here's a general list to give you an idea of what you'll need to submit.
Make sure you read the requirements carefully – incomplete applications won't usually be considered. It may take some time to gather all the necessary bits and pieces, so try and start the process early.
We recommend compiling all the documents in a clearfile folder (if submitting them by post) or a GoogleDrive/Dropbox folder (for electronic applications) to ensure your application looks professional.
Carefully check the application deadline and make sure you get your application in on time – most schools won't accept late applications.
Most schools will require a supporting letter, personal statement or application letter as part of your application. This needs to be written by the student applying – not a parent.
Students: here's some tips on how to make sure yours stands out from the rest:
Keep it concise.
Write no more than two typed pages (size 12 font). Ideally, your letter should be shorter than this; around 1.5 pages should be plenty.
Structure your letter clearly.
Have one 'big idea' per paragraph. Plan before you write: a simple mind-map with the main ideas for each paragraph and then examples and/or supporting detail for each idea should make the writing process much easier.
Show you've done your research.
Include a paragraph on what you could contribute to the school – and be specific. Read recent school newsletters to find out more about the day-to-day life of the school. Mention specific events, clubs, causes or committees that you could make a difference to (and how!)
Don't be afraid to brag!
Write about what you're good and your achievements to date – but, most importantly, explain how you've used your strengths & talents to better your current school community.

Understanding the Provider-Based Rule (PBR) can be a tall order, especially as changes in the physician supervision and reimbursement rules add confusion. Not only do hospitals' provider-based operations face unique billing and operations issues, but PBR ambiguities—from multiple PBR-status criteria to joint-use/time-share spaces to signage requirements—make compliance a real challenge. Learn to weigh the economic benefits and compliance concerns of provider-based operations—and make smarter choices for your hospital and clinic.
Join expert speaker Duane C. Abbey, Ph.D, as he explains the key differences between freestanding and provider-based clinics, and the economic advantages of the latter. He will teach you to set fees for your clinic, conduct patient relations, and effectively organize your medical staff. Abbey will walk you through all the complex PBR compliance details, including how to: apply the physician supervision requirements for outpatient services , abide by reporting requirements, use CMS-855 enrollment forms, qualify clinics that are outside the 35-mile default limit, and audit your clinic operations.
The 2017 Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) rule changed how non-exempted off-campus provider-based departments will be paid. And both Section 603 of the 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act (BiBA) and Section 16001 of the 21st Century Cures Act have significantly affected the establishment and payment systems of provider-based clinics. Be sure your clinic is up-to-date and being paid appropriately!
After attending this informative session, you will be well equipped to implement all PBR-specific billing and coding requirements—and be audit-ready at all times. By the end of this information-packed session, you will have the tools you need to understand how federal legislation and billing requirements converge to impact how your clinic will be paid.

It's really apparent that the seasons have changed since we were last working at Stickle, it is now feeling much more autumnal which is providing us with some classic Lake District views. It certainly makes the walk to work that little bit easier after prising yourself out of bed in the pitch black at the start of the day.
News from Leo Walmsley for October 2011
Resuming our work at Stickle Ghyll
10:15 28 October 2011
By Ade Mills, Pete Entwistle, Leo WalmsleyWith our work all finished at Mickleden our attentions have now turned back to Stickle Ghyll. We started our work here back in the spring before heading over to Mickleden for the summer months, and we've only around two weeks of work left until this project is also complete.
It's really apparent that the seasons have changed since we were last working at Stickle, it is now feeling much more autumnal which is providing us with some classic Lake District views. It certainly makes the walk to work that little bit easier after prising yourself out of bed in the pitch black at the start of the day.A misty morning in LangdaleThe section of path that we've been working on has proved quite challenging as there is a lot of bedrock right where the path needs to be built, meaning the path has to fit around the bedrock, or alternatively it has to be chipped out with crowbars and sledgehammers.Another thing that has made building the path a bit more complicated than usual is the amount of large boulders that are in the way. These large rocks have either been used for landscaping or, if they're suitably shaped, we've also been using them to pitch with.Nic pitching with large bouldersPitching with large stone like this really helps tie the path in with the landscape, but if they don't go in correctly the first time around it can really slow down progress. It can easily result in two, or sometimes even three of us levering the boulder with our bars to get it into the correct position, and it's not always a particularly quick process!
Finishing our repair work at Mickleden
09:49 17 October 2011
By Ade Mills, Pete Entwistle, Leo WalmsleyOver the last couple of weeks we've been busily working on the Mickleden project, so we can move back onto Stickle Ghyll for a few weeks, and hopefully finish our work there before the weather deteriorates too much.
Much of this work has again been upgrading the old path to make it more user friendly. You can see in the photograph below a set of risers (a line of stones dug into the ground to slow down the rate of erosion). Originally these risers would have been dug in at ground-level or, at least, with very little stone showing above the ground. Over time, the soil has eroded out in front of the risers leaving behind large steps that are more difficult to walk on.Path before repair workAs this section of path is next to a beck which has been known to overflow during heavy rain we decided to build a pitched path incorporating the old risers. This has helped reduce the height of the steps and will also help the path stand up to the rigours of flooding.Completed section of pathAnother important part of this project has been the landscaping. You can see by comparing the two photographs above how the side-stones that run in a straight line (top picture) have also been removed and replaced with larger stones, in a more natural looking way. Subtle changes like this are unlikely to be noticed by most people but it's all part of our work trying to make the paths blend in more sympathetically with the surrounding landscape.Once the path and landscaping was done we finished off this section by selecting a suitably large, and flat, stone and moved it into position as a stepping stone. The beck, which flows out of Rossett Ghyll can be really difficult to cross after heavy rain, so with the new stone in position people will be able to get to the other side much more safely.New Stepping Stone in placeWith our work at Mickleden finished (at least for this year), it was finally time to take down the shed, so there's no chance of it getting blown down in the winter. It'll stay here until it's ready to be moved to a new site next year.Flat-packed shed, ready to go

Director still on Punisher: War Zone?
Following a no show at Comic Con, a rumour spread that Lexi Alexander had been dropped from Punisher: War Zone. Well the next rumour says that this isn't the case at all. Confused? Me too.
This could be a bad sign. If a film has to resort to these stunts to drum up publicity. What ever happened to showing a dozen trailers for it, and releasing some interviews?
After saying that Lexi Alexander had missed Comic Con as she was on honeymoon, it was rumoured that she had left Punisher: War Zone. And also that Lionsgate had started making changes, including sacking the composer and fiddling with the soundtrack. Nothing had been confirmed to say that Alexander was definitely off the film though.
Now Chud through Cinematical say that she may still be on the project after all. They say they have spoken to someone close to the film about Alexander's position. They say that most of the drama is made up, and is designed to create more interest in the film. She is still on the film, and the edit will be done in two weeks.
So there we have it. One minute she's out, the next she's back in. Time will tell which one is true. Are you still excited about Punisher: War Zone? Or are you beginning to worry?

I recently came across a talk by a Louisiana real estate broker, who, in 2014, sold 286 homes for a total of $51 million. He moved to Louisiana from Tennessee just a few years ago. Wanting to move fast on building his business, he decided to go back to basics and tackle expired real estate listings. And in just one month, he listed 14 expired listings. Here's how he did it.
Where to Get Expired Real Estate Listings
The best place to get expired listings is through the MLS or a service like RedX. Look only at your county then get to work on whittling down the list. Remove any properties that have been sold or thrown back into the market.
How to Reach Expired Real Estate Listings
Luckily you have your mailing list built right in once you acquire your list of expireds. What worked for this agent was to strictly follow a plan of sending a mailer of some sort every 14 days for four months. Need a good phone number and White Pages letting you down? Try typing in the person's full name then "contact phone" or just "phone". They may have an office phone you can call. Then make sure you incorporate phone calls into your plan.
Your mailer should be incredibly informative and have as much information to convince the seller that you can help them. Provide numbers and proof that you can sell their home. A good tactic is to not include a return address to increase the chances of its being opened. Include testimonials from clients who have similar homes you sold. And throw out a stat immediately like "38% of homes don't sell in the first six months." It could be just the compelling thing the seller needed to hear to gain back their confidence and earn your trust.
What to Say When You Reach Them
Once you get them on the phone be sure you ask the right questions. Why are they selling their home? Could you show them how you can actually make that happen? Be sure to uncover where they believe their previous agent had failed. Provide numbers and your plan to turn their situation around. And never stray from your objective.
Questions to Ask:
- Where are you moving when you sell?
- Why do you think your home didn't sell?
- Why are you selling? à important question
- Were you pleased with the virtual tour and video? (They may not have had one – tell them you can provide this!)
- How many times was the home shown?
- How many offers? What was the offer?
It's also important to get to the point. The seller may be fed up with the whole process and abandon it. By providing enough gusto and acting as a true consultant from the get-go, you may turn them around and reignite their spirit to sell.
Now, if they don't show any interest or are incredibly annoyed, don't push it. You can simply ask to follow up at a better time. And if the answer is still no, at least you asked!

Yes, There Is A Free Lunch
Posted on | May 14, 2010 | 1 Comment
Jacksonville children can receive free lunch and snacks
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 14, 2010 — The Jacksonville Children's Commission (Commission), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Florida Department of Education will partner to provide free nutritious snacks and lunches to Jacksonville children Monday, June 14 through Friday, Aug. 13, the time period most local children are on summer break.
Any Duval County child under the age of 18 can receive a lunch by visiting one of the summer lunch sites across the city. A "Free Lunch Served Here" banner is posted at each site with the meal times indicated. Children do not need to be enrolled at the site (for example, if it is a club or program) to receive a lunch or snack — they just need to show up during meal times.
Each year, more than 12,000 Duval County children may receive nutritious snacks and lunches at no cost to parents/caregivers through the Summer Lunch Program.
Sites are located in a geographical area where there is a school with at least 50 percent of its students enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program during the school year. Nutritionally-balanced meals will be provided to all children regardless of race, color, sex, disability, age or national origin, there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service, during summer vacation when school breakfasts and lunches are not available.
A complete list of summer lunch sites is available at www.jaxkids.net by clicking on "Summer Programs". For more information, call the Commission at (904) 630-6430.

Around 20,000 former NHS workers have agreed to return to fight the coronavirus pandemic, the Prime Minister has revealed.
Boris Johnson made the announcement as he praised the significance of society while self-isolating after being diagnosed with Covid-19.
He thanked the doctors, nurses and other former professionals for returning to duty, as well as the 750,000 members of the public who have volunteered to aid the health service.
The PM chose to contradict the 'there is no such thing as society' endorsement of pure individualism from his Conservative predecessor Margaret Thatcher in the video message.
Visit our live blog for the latest updates: Coronavirus news live
Johnson said in the video selfie: 'We are going to do it, we are going to do it together.
'One thing I think the coronavirus crisis has already proved is that there really is such a thing as society.'
The PM has continued to command the response to the Covid-19 pandemic while sealed behind closed doors in his flat above No 11 Downing Street.

Johnson added the public appeared to be obeying the terms of the lockdown to slow the spread of the disease, saying train use is down 95% and buses down 75%.
'Thank you to everybody who's now coming back into the NHS in such huge numbers,' he continued.
'Just this evening I can tell you we have 20,000 NHS staff coming back to the colours.
'It's a most amazing thing. And that's in addition to the 750,000 members of the public who have volunteered to help us get through this crisis.'
On Thursday, NHS national medical director Professor Stephen Powis said the figure of former professionals who had volunteered to come back stood at more than 15,000.
The UK coronavirus death toll has reached 1,228 after another 209 people were confirmed dead.
The Department of Health updated the toll after 190 patients died in England and Wales recorded ten more deaths.
A further six people were confirmed dead in Northern Ireland, while Scotland recorded one more death today.
A total of 19,522 people in the UK have tested positive for coronavirus, while 108,215 have tested negative.

EDAL case summaries
These joint cases concern Article 1F(c) of the Refugee Convention. The Court considered what acts fall within the exclusion and what is meant by "serious reasons for considering" a person to be guilty of acts contrary to the purposes of the United Nations ("UN").
1. The issue as to whether an asylum-seeker was already protected against political persecution in a third country is only relevant in terms of the asylum application for recognition of refugee status in the context of the concept of the first country of asylum as defined in EU law in Article 29 of the Asylum Procedures Act (Articles 25 and 26 of the Asylum Procedures Directive).
2. If the Federal Office has reached a decision on the asylum application in this case, the substantive question of the subsidiarity of refugee protection in the assessment of refugee status is...
Czech Republic - Supreme Administrative Court, 2 August 2012, H. R. v. Ministry of the Interior, 5 Azs 2/2012-49
Conclusions on exclusion from protection are to be supported by factual findings and cannot be presumed, especially with an applicant, who through the credibility assessment, is deemed to be untrustworthy by an administrative body. Belonging to the army under Saddam Hussein might, together with the Sunni religion of the applicant, be understood as a reason for well-founded fear of persecution because of membership of a particular social group.
This case concerned exclusion from refugee status on the basis of a war crime and a serious non-political crime.
A Chechen who was involved in the Second Chechen War - outside of the general combat action - in the killing and wounding of Russian soldiers and the kidnapping of a Russian officer to force the release of another Chechen is at risk of being exposed to torture or at least inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in the Russian Federation.
The exclusion of a person who had belonged to a terrorist organisation depended on a personal examination to see whether there were genuine grounds to attribute to him a personal responsibility as organiser, author or accomplice to serious crimes under ordinary law or actions contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
1. Changes in the home country are only considered to be sufficiently significant and non-temporary if the refugee's fear of persecution can no longer be regarded as well-founded.
2. Based on the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) which applies to the concept of "real risk" according to Article 3 ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights), a uniform standardof probability is applied to assessing the likelihood of persecution in the context of refugee protection; this corresponds to the standard of substantial probability.

10 Startups that are Changing the Money Transfer Industry
(Sign up now to coinpip.com for free transfers to Southeast Asia, Europe and China)
The money transfer industry is flourishing at the moment. With startups sprouting in all corners of the world, it's inevitable that the payments landscape is going to go through a substantial change. Admittedly, most of the recent solutions offered by existing startups are about peer-to-peer cash payment models. According to the opinions of many people involved in the industry, this model carries a potential to change how people move money around for the better.
Here are the 10 of those startups that are early in the race!
1. M-Pesa – Arguably the most successful money transfer service on our list, M-Pesa is a pioneer in the mobile money arena. M-Pesa's business model allows both P2P (peer-to-peer) and C2B (consumer to business) transactions to take place. Along with mobile-based money transfer, they also offer micro-financing services. M-Pesa has made a big difference in the lives of millions of people who move money around with convenience.
2. TransferWise – Despite the fact that TransferWise launched its operations in 2011, they have made quite a name for themselves in the peer-to-peer money transfer business. Based in London, this startup has gained attention and funding from some veteran investors in the industry, including, Sir Richard Branson. Their solid growth over the period of three years is a testament to how startups are creating an impact.
3. Xoom – "Reputation cannot be built overnight," as the saying goes, this next startup on our list, Xoom, has just been building their reputation for years. Launched in 2001, Xoom is one of the earliest companies to get involved in the digital money transfer business. Over these last 13 years, millions of immigrants around the world have used their services to send money back home.
4. WeSwap – Another startup based out of London is WeSwap, a peer-to-peer travel money service. They offer a platform where users can exchange different currencies at an interbank rate for a flat fee, and in some cases for free. What sets them apart from other money transfer startups is their focus on travelers rather than aiming to target the wider remittance industry.
5. PeerTransfer – PeerTransfer is a global leader in payments solution for the education industry. They specialize in international education payments and offer a cost effective solution to both students and educational institutions around the world.
(Take a look at how the history of money transfers has evolved)
6. Sendmoney.ph – Our next choice on the list is Sendmoney.ph, a Philippines-based company. Sendmoney uses Bitcoin to offer a cheap money transfer service for millions of oversea workers who often pay hefty transaction fees while sending money back home.
7. WorldRemit – WorldRemit is yet another startup that offers a convenient, low-cost alternative to traditional money transfer companies. For WorldRemit, they built their unique selling proposition by allowing customers to transfer small amounts as low as $10 through mobile airtime.
8. Remitly – Remitly is another great company, which is playing its role to disrupt the $528bn consumer remittance market. Their mobile payments service allows consumers to make person-to-person international money transfers conveniently.
9. Azimo – This fintech startup has been making waves in the money transfer sector. By recently introducing instant £1 money transfer to 15 countries across Latin America, their goal is to improve the lives of Latin American migrant workers living in Europe.
10. TransferGo – This Lithuania-based startup is a 'pure-play digital' international money transfer service, according to their website. Their value proposition – beating competitors by offering 'next day' bank-to-bank transfers by using their infrastructure rather than going through third parties.

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful!! I booked the deal but when we arrived neither my friend or I could get an internet connection, as the deal was on my phone they wouldn't honour it! We were made to feel incredibly uncomfortable and unwelcome. The manager was more interested in having a laugh with the rest of the waiters and was clearly not bothered about our custom. The team all were mucking about and it felt like the customers were inconveniencing their social time! Very unprofessional environment! We had considered just staying and eating off the normal menu but after the way that we were treated we ended up walking out and would never return to that location based on such a negative experience.

The service was good.
14. februar 2017
Service was a bit shoddy. Seemed under staffed, and then on top of that, one of the waitresses just started having her dinner, leaving us stranded. At the end, on the Valentine's Menu there were 3 choices of dessert, and the romantic sharing one was unavailable, leaving us with a tiramisu with positively unburnt caramel just slopped on top, and some rather basic looking gelato in a bowl. Not as romantic as planned unfortunately, as it seemed to staff just really wanted us out by the end, so they could go home early. Setting was nice as always, shame about that that was mentioned.

Apple Pages has recently reached a significant new milestone with the updates to version 8.0 for Mac and 5.0 for iOS. While we would not normally mention updates to other developer's software here, but this update got us excited about the new opportunities it opens up to our Toolbox for Pages users!
The new version of Pages saves custom templates in iCloud and makes them accessible on all your devices connected to the same iCloud account. This means that once you get a template from Toolbox for Pages and save it in the Template Chooser in Pages on one of your devices and it becomes immediately available in the Template Chooser in Pages on your other devices connected to the same iCloud account, both macOS and iOS! It is now possible to save the template once and have it available anywhere, instead of saving a document based on the template.
This is a massive step in the direction we want our products to be heading: making them truly multiplatform solutions, that you purchase once and have them conveniently available on all your devices.
Another significant addition to the new version of Pages is Layouts. This feature allows users to take our templates (or items from our templates) and create their own custom layouts and master pages designs for convenient use in their work via the Add Page menu (similar to the custom slide designs available via the Add Slide menu in Keynote). We will be including more Pages Layouts templates in Toolbox for Pages the near future.
If you need help understanding the use of the new Master Pages functionality, Apple have you covered:
Pages for Mac
Pages for iOS
We hope that these additions to Pages will make your use of Toolbox for Pages even more enjoyable and productive!

Seeing as both of its parents are on the heavier end of the spectrum, I decided to wait until the evening before reviewng the White OG strain. I soon came to realize that this was a pretty smart decision on my part.
As far as its aroma/taste is concerned, this batch of the White OG strain was a near-perfect mix between its parent strains. Theterpene profile was reminiscent of a piney OG Kush with musty undertones (presumably from the White Widow influence).
I began to feel my anxiety taper off after just a few minutes of medicating with this strain. I found this to be quite useful in the middle of the day, although I probably wouldn't consider it to be the best choice for morning medicating – larger doses seemed to bring about a couchlock effect that made it a battle to get up from my seat at times.
Overall, I would say that the White OG strain is a great option for stress and pain relief later in the day. It may also be beneficial for patients who suffer from PTSD, OCD, lupus-related pain, depression, and more.

What is the process used?
In a preparatory meeting we will review your career, education and training to date and discuss and agree your objectives for career counselling.
Generally the process covers the following three stages.
Stage 1 – Who am I?
This stage covers the process of evaluating yourself. This will help you:
Identify who you are.
What motivates you?
What are your work interests.
What are your skills and strengths.
What kind of working environment you prefer.
This is achieved through discussion and completion of self-analysis exercises.
Stage 2 – What do I want?
This stage clarifies some ideas about what you want from the future. We will also review some of the opportunities or obstacles that may affect you achieving them.
It will include:
Counselling to define individual's goals.
Highlighting positive or negative factors that may affect success.
Stage 3 – How do I achieve this?
During this stage we focus on what you need to do to achieve what you want. This stage may involve some of the following activities:
Development of a practical action plan to improve personal skills and to pursue defined goals.
Research or information gathering.
Coaching on the preparation of an effective C.V.
One or more job interviews with CCTV and constructive feedback on interview performance.
How much time will the career coaching & counselling take?
Typically, we will work together for between 3 and 10 hours, in sessions of either 1 or 2 hours. The time needed will be agreed in our preparatory meeting as you may wish to have more or less sessions. It may be that a single consultation of 2 hours is sufficient for you to explore a particular career issue.
Contact us to discuss how we may help move your career forward.

We can get down with Ted Nugent's respect for the Constitution, although his myopic obsession with its Second Amendment can get a little grating. I can't remember the last time I saw a minuteman leap down his front steps to defend against the British, but maybe that's just me.
"The Nuge," as he is occasionally known, has a new song out called "I Am The NRA" that magically equates political freedom with the right to own high-powered assault rifles and Teflon-coated bullets. Nugent recorded the song in Waco, Texas and debuted it at the NRA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in May.
"We know in our hearts and souls that God gaveeach of us a precious, equal, miraculous gift of life," according to the enthusiastic rocker. "And we alsoknow, that if not for the formation and growth of this fundamentalgrassroots organization (we assume he's talking about the NRA here), individual American citizens would no longerhave that US Constitutionally guaranteed God given right to keep andbear arms for the protection of this gift. Thank God for the NRA."
His press release also claims the self-released song is available on NRA.org, but as far as I can tell, it's not. You can however stream a sample from his site, or pay $2 for the 128 Kbps MP3. I guess freedom really isn't free.
Here are the lyrics:
When I think of freedom,
I got my Bill Of Rights
US Constitution is my guiding light
Our founding fathers, they were not confused
I always celebrate self-evident truths
I am we the people
I don't need no OK
My pursuit of happiness will take me all the way
If you hate slavery as much as we all do
Come on join the fight, I'll tell you what we do
If you hate tyrants and dictators and are ready to give freedom a whirl
Celebrate the NRA and the shot heard round the world
The shot heard round the world

Troubleshooting: How can I set the default scale on a non-English version?
The Options tab in Map Production has a list of scales in the Maintain Scale field. An administrator may customize these values by creating a domain of scales, naming it ArcFM Map Scale, and assigning it a field type of Text. The default value is indicated with a value of "default" in the description field for that value. This "default" value was localized in 8.3.1 and reads string #520 in the mmMapProductionUI Res file.
For users who have translated ArcFM to a non-English language, the value indicating the default setting will change. When ArcFM is translated, the Res file is translated as well. Therefore, the value indicating the default setting must match string #520 in the mmMapProductionUI Res file.

They don't want to end up in the same boat as Sheepshead Bay.
Mill Basinites demanded the city change course at a protest on Sunday against the plan to move three party boats there from the Emmons Avenue dock where they've been blamed for long-standing quality-of-life complaints. The demonstrators say the city's decision to move the infamous "booze cruises" is not solving the problem, but instead dumping Sheepshead Bay's issues on to Mill Basin.
"I don't know how they can say it's definitely not permissible in one neighborhood, but okay in an other," said Mill Basinite Bill DeStefano.
More than 150 people showed up to the protest on April 29 at Nick's Lobster House — a seafood restaurant along the waterfront off of Flatbush Avenue, where the boats are reported to be heading this month. In April, politicians from Sheepshead Bay announced that three of the boats would move to Mill Basin in May, with the rest going to Brooklyn Army Terminal in September. Sheepshead Bay residents who are tired of the boats celebrated the long-sought move.
But elected leaders in and around Mill Basin immediately complained that they were neither consulted nor informed ahead of the move, as did pols near the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.
The Parks Department and the mayor's office have not responded to multiple requests for comment on whether the community was informed ahead of the decision. The local leaders who organized the protest maintain that they were kept in the dark.
"We couldn't have been told because we were completely unaware," said Community Board 18 chairman Saul Needle. "Given the opportunity, we would've let the city know that what's not good for Sheepshead Bay is not good for Mill Basin."
The protesters held signs reading "This Won't Float in This Town," and "No Booze Cruise Welcome" at the event.
DeStefano says he has no clue where big boats like those in question will go in Mill Basin, and that the area is actually a worse place for them than Sheepshead Bay.
"In Sheepshead Bay you can get right to the ocean," said DeStefano. "You don't have people on small boats or leisure crafts. This is more common in Mill Basin."
The city has not confirmed an exact location where the boats will dock, and the nearby Kings Plaza Marina, where many small craft are moored, did not respond to a request for comment.
One Bergen Beach protester agrees that the area isn't suited for large party boats.
"The Mill Basin waterways aren't made for these type of boats," said Joe Dai. "The channel isn't wide enough, and there's no adequate dockage, bathroom facilities or parking."
Dai says he is happy with the large turnout at the protest, and is confident the city will back down given all the outrage.
"We're not gonna stop," he said. "This isn't the right place for them."
The boats proved controversial for years in Sheepshead Bay, with their critics saying they brought public intoxication, loud noise, and parking woes to their neighborhood. Some captains of the boats responded to this by accusing the boat critics of racism, since many of the customers are Caribbean-American, but DeStefano says it's the nature of the boats, not the race of the people on them, that bothers him.
"That's insane," he said of the racism charge. "There are more minorities here now [in Mill Basin], and this is putting them at risk too."

Caroline Lucas, Green Party MP, has outlined the Green Party's 6-point emergency response plan to Brexit, and calls on everyone who shares the same belief to join the Green Party now.
Lucas says: "We are on course for serious economic turmoil but our politics is broken too.
"It falls upon us, the Green Party, to put forward a positive vision of what a post-referendum Britain could look like.
"That's why today I'm publishing my six point emergency response plan. It sets out how we should respond to the referendum.
"In the coming weeks and months we want you to be part of this discussion."
We demand a General election in the Autumn so people can choose the Government they want to represent them in the negotiations to come
We demand a Parliamentary vote on any 'terms of exit' BEFORE invoking Article 50
We demand the protection of free movement within the EU, strong environmental protections, workers rights and the Single Market
We demand a second referendum on the terms of a final deal
We demand an emergency law which guarantees the rights of non-British nationals already living here in Britain
We demand the protection of young people's future
If you want to be a part of a positive approach to the debate please consider joining the Green Party.

Abstraction has a sensuality of letting us lose ourselves in it; a meditation. The intention is art of pure affect. My practice is concerned with repetition, difference and disruption.
In every act of repeating there is a birth, a becoming, and differences occur - when substantial they give rise to identifiable disruptions.
I draw, paint, make videos, and perform. Rules and limitations are adopted at first, they help the works to commence, they are not rigid, and often are let go. There are various methods; they are useful for the making.
