Fannie (Polacca) Nampeyo (1904-1987)
Fannie was the youngest, and perhaps the most famous of Nampeyo of Hano's three daughters. She was born in the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan home atop First Mesa, on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona. Fannie was initially given the name Popongua or Popong-Mana (meaning "Picking Piñons") by the older women of her father Lesou's family, and either missionaries or health-care workers later gave her the name "Fannie."
In the early 1920s she married Vinton Polacca, and shortly thereafter pottery making became an important part of Fannie's life. She increasingly worked with her mother Nampeyo, whose eyesight was diminishing due to trachoma. Fannie helped her mother with pottery painting and decorating, and also assisted her father with polishing. Early works created by Fannie and her mother were signed simply "Nampeyo" by Fannie, since Nampeyo could not read or write, but later they began signing pieces made together as "Nampeyo Fannie". Pieces made solely by Fannie were signed "Fannie Nampeyo" and usually included a drawn corn symbol.
Fannie was a prolific potter from 1920–1987 and earned a reputation as an outstanding potter during her lifetime. Her styles included black and red on yellow and black on yellow in the form of jars, cups and saucers. She also made miniatures and bird effigy bowls. Among her favorite designs were clouds, rain, feathers, stars and migrations motifs. In addition to making pottery she also made quilts.
Fannie's pottery won a first place blue ribbon in the "Hopi Show" at the Museum of Northern Arizona in July 1961, and her works have been included in collects by the University of Oklahoma's Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art and The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Fannie became matriarch of the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan, as her mother Nampeyo had been before her. "Nampeyo" is actually the ceremonial title used by the matriarch of the Hopi-Tewa Corn Clan. Fannie and her husband Vinton were among the first families at First Mesa to join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. All seven of Fannies's children (Thomas Polacca, Elva Nampeyo, Tonita, Iris Youvella, Leah, Harold and Elsworth) excelled at pottery making, which they learned from their mother, and several have become known in their own right among collectors of Native American pottery. She died in a car accident in the year 1987.
Family: Daugher of Nampeyo and Lesou; wife of Vinton Polacca (Tobacco Clan from Hano); Mother of Thomas, Elva, Tonita, Iris, Leah, Harold and Elsworth; sister of Annie Healing Nampeyo and Nellie Douma Nampeyo

Shah defended the transaction agreements between MCX and its erstwhile promoter Financial Technologies India Ltd (FTIL) and questioned the timing of the release of the PwC report when the divestment process is underway.
"The divestment process will not be derailed because of the PwC report. There is no set back to the process," Shah told a news channel.
He said: "Bidders will see the PwC report now and will get back to us. They wanted to see this report and speak to the management of Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd . I hope they will cooperate."
In a statement, Shah said: "The shortlisted bidders are all matured local and global corporate houses to understand implications of the PwC report, if any, in which MCX by itself disclaims any responsibility towards any person keeping reliance on the content on the report and states that it neither agrees nor disagrees with the contents.
"We will continue our honest efforts to divest 24 per cent stake in MCX... We hope to complete the divestment in next few days without prejudiced to our rights, pending before the court."
FTIL could not finalise the bidders on April 25 as some buyers sought more time to submit the binding offers on the grounds that MCX was not sharing key information. Bidders also sought more time to see the PwC report.
FTIL has to reduce to its stake in MCX as the commodity markets regulator FMC has declared it as "not fit and proper" to hold more than 2 per cent stake in the bourse in the wake of Rs 5,500 crore payment crisis at the group firm NSEL.
The regulator FMC-appointed PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) that audited the books of MCX alleged that the commodity bourse entered into agreements with related trading parties and paid about Rs 709 crore to FTIL and group firms without following proper documentation process.
On the PwC report, Shah said: "Natural justice is being denied to FTIL as neither PwC nor MCX has shared the special audit report, neither it has taken views."
The report is "highly motivated and based on surmises and hearsay. It is a malicious attempt to derail transparent sale process of MCX share held by FTIL," he said.
"It is being put up to defame FTIL and cause losses to shareholders of FTIL and MCX. Also, the previous auditors - Deloitte, KPMG were not consulted," he added.
On allegation levelled in the PwC report that FTIL signed one-sided agreements with MCX, Shah said: "The transaction agreements between the two companies are transparent and have been vetted by law firms... The two institutes have executed the agreements, their Boards have cleared it and now PwC has commented and let is pass the legal process."

in earlier blog post "caml query: lookup field by id not by value" i have mentioned how you can query lists for lookup field based on lookup field id.
SharePoint by default uses query by value for lookups , not by ID.
– Even in All views the queries are by values not by ID. This can be taken as BUG. As you can see in following example
Example :
Lets have one list "List1" having only single field "Title"
There are 4 items with first 3 one having same value, 3rd one is different by capital case
For List2 RefItem is Lookup of Title from List1
For test1, test2 , test3 is referring to DIFFERENT titles selected in lookup during data entry.
You can identify items by their case.
Now here is the buggy thing….
There is just modification in view is given where "group by" is selected with RefItem, and as you can see though test1, test2, test3 are having different values for RefItem, all are under one group. (Even see the ITEM1 which is in capital)
Logically they should be in different group because they are referring to different items actually.
One way to come out is having custom event handler which stops user adding duplicate items. In some cases you may need them. so Point is when CAML supports query by ID, while grouping items in grid SharePoint should do it using ID instead of value. and I believe its not hard to do it. MS can optimize the SPListView code behind to have this.

Tuesday Tip: The Fuss-Free Way to Eliminate Odor from Smelly Shoes
(Source: Thinkstock; Art by Tanya Leigh Washington)Whether you wear strappy sandals or closed-toe pumps, it's a gross but true fact that feet sweat while you wear shoes—especially in the summer heat—leaving behind a less-than-desirable scent. Rather than coat your soles in messy baby powder or worse, toss the offending footwear at the end of the season, follow the advice of Leslie Gallin, president of footwear at Advanstar Communications, Inc., where she puts on major footwear trade shows such as FN PLATFORM @ MAGIC and WSA @ MAGIC. Her no-fuss trick for eliminating odor will restore your kicks with minimal effort overnight.
(Source: Leslie Gallin)
(Source: Leslie Gallin)
Unpleasant smelling shoes happens for a number of reasons—whether you were caught in the rain, spent a long hot night standing at a party or have been overusing the same pair without properly airing them out—but the root cause is a buildup of bacteria or fungus. To get rid of the smell and save your precious pairs, take each shoe and place it in a freezer-sized plastic bag with a seal. Leave them in the freezer overnight. The cold temperature will kill any bacteria or fungus causing the odor. By morning, your shoes will smell good as new!"

A US Secret Service Agent who worked for the Obama administration has pleaded guilty to raping a young girl, as authorities in the U.S. crackdown on the elite pedophilia problem gripping the country.
Lee Robert Moore worked in the White House alongside Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and his crimes were only discovered after an undercover sting by the Delaware State Police caught him in the act.
CBS reports:
Using the social media applications "Meet24" and "Kik," detectives with the Delaware Child Predator Task Force "created a profile on this site, posing as a 14-year-old girl, with whom Moore engaged in a number of online chat sessions" that were sexually explicit in nature, the Dept. of Justice said in a media statement.
According to admissions made in connection with his plea, Moore also chatted with underage girls via social media, sent them explicit images of himself, and enticed them to send sexually explicit photos back….

Strange Face – Adventures With A Lost Nick Drake Recording (Michael Burdett/Glynis Henderson Productions)
By Bethan Highgate-Betts | Published on Saturday 20 August 2016
Composer Michael Burdett takes to the stage to talk about an unreleased Nick Drake recording that he found in a skip. Having had the recording for 30 years without ever listening to it, when Burdett finally played it he was surprised to find a piece of music he'd never heard before. After informing the Nick Drake estate, Burdett set about travelling the country to randomly select people to photograph listening to it. The show is just one man sitting in the dark, flicking through a PowerPoint presentation and making bad jokes, but if you're a Nick Drake fan it's unmissable. However, if you're not then there are definitely better ways to spend an hour.
Pleasance Courtyard, until 29 Aug.

Filmotype Zanzibar
Filmotype Zanzibar (2008, for Filmotype) is a classic semi-script originally designed and released in the 1950s. As quirky as it is elegant, it combines outlandishly ornate caps with a condensed, Bodoni-like italic lowercase. The overall impression is that of a script, but it's really a highly stylized italic. The capitals are a riot of spirals and abrupt turns, seemingly inspired by musical notation. I kept these characteristics in mind as I expanded the character set beyond the basic set provided in the original film font.
Licensing note: Filmotype Zanzibar is owned by Font Diner and uses the Font Diner end user license, not mine. You can view the license here. There is also an FAQ about it here.
Weights & Styles
- Ligatures.
- Context-sensitive alternate characters.*
- Automatic arbitrary fractions.*
- Superscript and subscript figures.
- Ordinals.*
- Extended language support for most Latin-based Western and Central European languages.
* Requires an application with support for OpenType advanced typography, such as Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress. Check your application's user guide.

In the case you have around a thousand bucks to burn and you're looking for the coolest gadget to buy to impress your family during Thanksgiving dinner, look no further than the LG G Flex. This is the second device to come out with a curved display (the first being the Samsung Galaxy Round), which arcs from top to bottom and even offers a little bit of flex when you push down on it. Officially it's only available in Korea for 999,940 won (about $940), and while rumors are pointing to an eventual launch in other parts of the world, the earliest -- and richest -- of early adopters in the US can grab one from importers for around $1,100. One of those companies is Negri Electronics, which was gracious enough to send us a G Flex for a few days.
Between the G Flex and the Galaxy Round, you're looking at two of the most expensive smartphones this side of a Vertu or Porsche Design BlackBerry. So what's the point? The benefits of curved or flexible displays are three-fold (so far): they promise more durable gadgets, a better viewing experience over regular phones and could potentially lead to wholly flexible devices or even brand new form factors (Samsung, for instance, is already working on a phone with a foldable screen, as well as a prototype with a bent display). It's pretty exciting stuff, so we've opened up the G Flex box, fired up the phone, and we're ready to share our initial impressions with you. Take a closer look at the G Flex with our gallery and thoughts below.

National Curriculum
The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
- develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities
- are physically active for sustained periods of time
- engage in competitive sports and activities
- lead healthy, active lives.
Why do children need a quality programme of Physical Education?
- Children learn to understand the importance of exercising for a lifetime.
- Regular, physical activity is the best antidote to eliminate obesity and maintain an acceptable body weight. It also provides a positive alternative to watching television or playing on tablets, computers or mobile phones.
- Children learn the fundamental motor skills that enable them to develop the competence that creates confidence and leads to safe and successful participation in a wide range of sports.
- Children are encouraged to improve their fitness levels during PE lessons, including muscular and cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility.
- Youngsters can learn valuable lessons about accepting responsibility for their personal development leading to greater self-discipline.
- PE promotes opportunities for children to be creative, cooperative and competitive and to face up to different challenges both as individuals and in groups.
- A 'good workout' helps ease stress, tension and anxiety and will result in better attention in class.
- Many activities taught in PE require children to work in groups to solve problems or as a team. These opportunities are excellent for developing both leadership and cooperation skills.
- Sports activities are an excellent way to meet and make new friends. Confidence in one's physical abilities encourages youngsters, and later adults, to socialise more easily and 'fit into' a variety of situations.
- Movement can be used to reinforce the understanding of many subjects taught in the classroom e.g. mathematics. Movement is also associated with enhanced brain functioning.
- PE is especially important to children who have yet to develop their verbal communication skills. Thus, their confidence in physical abilities can lead to positive feelings of self-esteem.
- Children learn to develop the notion of fair play, honest competition, good sportsmanship and dealing with both success and defeat.
PE at Hextable Primary School
Hextable Primary Progression of Skills in PE
PE skill development is a sequential process, and that is reflected in the teaching of PE. Lessons are taught with clear fluency between lessons, connecting learning and building on the skills previously learnt. Children are engaged in lessons which consist of learning new skills, practising and the applying into a game or competitive context.
During the academic year, years 3-5 attend White Oak Leisure Centre for swimming lessons. In the Summer term they have the chance to show off their skills in the annual Swimming Gala, where year 6 and staff also participate.Throughout the year we host two Sports Days, for KS1 and KS2 which include track and field events, as well as more creative fun races. All children throughout the school are encouraged to participate in the day.
Being a part of both Swanley and Dartford District Sports Associations allows the children multiple opportunities to compete in sporting events throughout the year. A football and netball league runs for year 5 and 6 pupils, and there are several tournaments for tag rugby, cross country, athletics and rounders.
We also offer a wide selection of sporting clubs, which you can find out more about on our clubs page.

Having a book released is sort of like Christmas. There's the long, build up, and when finally the day arrives, you rush to see if Santa left good responses or a lump of coal. You're able to maybe coast for a while on the excitement of it all, but then comes the day when the decorations come down and everything returns to normal.
And so it's back to normal here. The only thing noteworthy that has happen recently was my brother's birthday, where I got to razz him on always being older than me. Then, of course, my sisters can do the same to me, brats that they are. In my family we're equal opportunity razzers.
The Reckoning Flames is coming along—Rabbit has found himself in a predicament and it'll be interesting to see how it resolves. While I generally know a story's beginning and end, the middle is a wild, uncharted terrority with the plots taking twists and turns that surprise even me. As far as I'm concerned, that's the best part of writing—having your characters come alive and shock the heck out of you.
At my last post, I had fully intended to start A Game of Thrones, but I'd come across some books by Mark del Franco, his Connor Grey series. They're urban fantasy but instead of the usual vampires and werewolves, it's chock full of druids, elves, fairies, dwarfs and other fae. I've plowed through three of them and am going to get the fourth. The Abigail Adams murder mystery also arrived—though I discovered that it wasn't written by Barbara Hambly, but by Barbara Hamilton. Ah, well. It received very good reviews, so I expect to enjoy it anyway while I wait for Ms. Hambly's new Benjamin January book to be released. I've also picked up Diana Gabaldon's latest in the Jaime and Claire saga. In all, my reading calendar has beome rather full, so Mr. Martin has been placed back on the shelf until another time.

By Rebecca Pahle | Film | June 13, 2016 |
Warcraft came out this weekend, and (though not everyone agrees), it's my personal view that it's an unmitigated hot mess of a film. From a storytelling perspective, it's just bad—generic characters, unnecessary characters (seriously, you could omit or fold together a good half dozen of them and it would have no impact on the story whatsoever), an incomplete story (don't build right up to the point where shit's about to get interesting and then drop off with a "to be continued," Duncan Jones. Multi-picture sagas are well and good, but finish one damn plot first), pacing WTFery and dangling plot threads out the wazoo.
Speaking of dangling plot threads… Ben Foster totally fucked an orc, right?
Context: Ben Foster plays Medivh, the wizard grand poobah who is so totally evil, so shut the fuck with with this "could Medivh be….. gassssp…. up to something?" shit. Paula Patton is the noble Garona, a half-orc who comes with her orc buddies through a magical portal from the orc world to the human one.
is heavily implied to be Garona's
Stay with me here. Garona is half-orc, half-human, with a orc mother who was executed by her people for giving birth to Garona, whose name in orcish means "cursed." The identity of her father would be a complete mystery—and completely irrelevant besides—if it weren't for a scene about 2/3 of the way through between Medivh and Garona, where the former talks about his lost love. When he was younger, Medivh explained, he travelled far and wide and found "a strong and noble people, among them a female who accepted me for who I was." When Garona asks him if he left his lady love, he changes the subject—clearly it's a sore spot. He tells Garona she has to be willing to go "to the ends of the world" (…or into another one?) to find love and then gives her a present of a magical blue flower.
There's no reason—none—for these two characters to have this scene together if it's not to hint at some deeper connection between them. They have virtually nothing else to do with one another; this emotionally charged scene represents 95% of their shared screen time. We know Medivh has been to the orc world, because he's the one who told the orcs how to go from one world to another. To the orcs, he's known simply as a "demon"; him being Garona's father would mesh with her pariah status. On the surface, the timing doesn't work out—Patton is actually five years older than Foster—but another character talks about how Medivh ages all funky. We have no clue how old he is. (Also, in the source material, Garona herself was aged by magic.)
Other people have noticed this. I asked Kristy and Agent X if I was fucking insane at having read "Medivh is Garona's father" into that one scene, and they saw it, too—which doesn't mean a ton re: sanity, seeing as we're the ones behind the Very Serious Discussion posts, but Donna Dickens at HitFix also interpreted Medivh's monologue as a coded "Garona, I am your father" confession. (It's a change from the source material, where Garona is half-Draenei and she and Medivh are lovers.) Jones has said that an explanation of Garona's parentage was in the film originally and will be found in the director's cut, so it is something that he thought about.
I will bet twenty whole (of TK's) dollars that Medivh is Garona's dad. That's a problem. Not because Medivh dipped his wizardly wick in an orc lady—you do you, man—but because Medivh dies at the end of Warcraft, so it's unlikely that him being Garona's father will be relevant in any sequels. It's not relevant in Warcraft, either. So they're related. So what? Who cares? It's absolutely pointless, just another in a long string of plot elements that never gets paid off.

The University of Stirling Service Users and Carers' Group is organised in the School of Social Work.
Unity was established in 2005 in recognition of the important contribution that people who use services have to make to social work education. Many of the group's founder members continue to be involved along with people who have joined more recently.
The group meets at the university on a six weekly basis with additional meetings around specific projects as required.
The format of the main meetings is a two hour session, for which an agenda is made up and circulated in advance. This is followed by lunch, which we have found to be an important opportunity for group members to get to know each other and share ideas in an informal way. A record is made of each meeting and circulated to all members.
University staff involvement in the group comprises the group convenors, Fiona Sherwood-Johnson and Sian Lucas who are members of the Social Work qualifying programme staff team.

Maino has his third King of Brooklyn project on the way, so he's blessing your ears with some new heat. Here he goes over some dope shit with a "Real Niggas Back" remix. Check out the track from Maino after the jump.
The Brooklyn artists rap over vintage beats from when New York rap mattered to other people and not just them. It's freshened up by Troy Ave, weighed down by Maino. These two are on a very small crusade to make rap regional long after it became democratic and internet-based. It's a strange effort and egocentric but definitely slams the reminder home in 3 plus minutes of East Coast nostalgia. Check the track after the jump.

In this era of digital imaging, it seems like everyone has a scanner. That's not entirely true, which is why the submission guidelines for this column, "How to Submit Your Photo" includes a mailing address. You can send me a letter and a copy of a photograph (NO originals, please) and possibly see your photo featured in this space.
Barbie Clements sent in this picture.
She found it in her great-grandmother's photos. There's no caption on the back. Her question: "Can you tell me the approximate time period and if he is wearing a preacher's collar?"
In the 1880s, men wore their ties under their shirt collars. Tight fitting jackets were the style for men in that decade. While this man's neckwear has the appearance of a clerical collar, you can see part of his tie right above the top button of his jacket.

Best of
the Twin Cities
Trevor Cook was a trusted financial advisor with a down-home, bro-ish cadence who lulled 900 investors into forking over their life savings at info sessions held in his opulent $2.8-million mansion. His fund guaranteed yields during one of history's greatest recessions. Instead, it yielded a private submarine, an exotic dancer/assistant, a voracious gambling habit, and a mansion full of Fabergé eggs for Cook as he lived high on the hog, paying old investors back with the take from new investors. But the scheme wasn't nearly as juicy as the takedown. The FBI enlisted an undercover informant, strapped him with recording devices, and sent him into the mansion, where the whistleblower resisted the urge to tell the poor drywall hangers and retirees to get the hell out of there. After Cook was finally busted, $190 million had flowed into his Ponzi scheme, and only a fraction has been recovered. Authorities have found dribs and drabs of it all over the place, including gold coins stashed in the walls of his brother's house. His former security guard has just been indicted for hiding $150,000 worth of Turkish lira, Iraqi dinars, and other foreign currency in a locker at the Mall of America. This past year marked the end of the road for Cook—he's now serving his 25-year sentence at a federal facility in Illinois.

SEE (2018) 24″ x 35″
This is where artwork begins—not on a canvas, not on a sketchpad, not even on a computer. It starts with what I SEE, with what only I see, with what only my eye can see.
Of course, even if you're not as fascinated by eyes as I am, this piece is useful for keeping small children out of a room. It's even been known to frighten adults. Are YOU brave enough to look at it—and let it look at you—every day?

Flexible Seating, Flexible Teachers
By Alycia Eschler, Third Grade Teacher, Trailblazer Elementary
How do you trust seven-year-olds to pick their own seat? Where do the kids put their stuff? Where do you find the money to makeover your classroom?
These are just a few of the questions that I frequently get when people see my classroom. I adopted a flexible seating policy about four years ago when I saw Kayla Delzer (@TopDogTeaching) and Erin Klein (@Kleinspiration) share the changes to their classrooms on Twitter. My first thought was "why?" And that's where I started. After lots of research, I discovered that flexible seating is linked to improved behavior, increased engagement and better health. So I dove right in.
As I looked at what children needed to learn and got feedback from the kids, they realized they didn't need a desk to store things. After all, desks usually become the place where things are forgotten. The kids spoke of needing comfortable places to collaborate and create. We started using community supplies and repurposing the furniture we had. In the first year of flexible seating, I cleaned off my desk for kids to use as a work space. The following year, my desk had to go because it took up too much potential student work space. One of my mentors, Scott Fuller, used to call those spaces "teacher forts". Teachers complain a lot about small rooms (I'm guilty as well), but then one-quarter of the space is taken up by "teacher things." The year I got rid of my desk was the year my mindset began to shift.
We used cubbies to store writing and math journals and said goodbye to workbooks and worksheets (an entirely separate post). I also realized flexible seating really didn't require a lot of money. We didn't need anything fancy. I learned to start looking at furniture in a different way. I took an old coffee table from my house that had a glass insert, went to Home Depot and had them cut a whiteboard the same size to fit the middle of the table. I found a friend willing to donate a tall two-person table with two stools and painted it to match my classroom. I took the legs off a trapezoid table and placed pillows on the floor around it. We invested in a lot of clipboards. A colleague took the legs off desks and then covered them in foam and fabric to make a low seat for her kids. I even had a colleague suggest bringing in an old ironing board to use as a standing table!
When we open our eyes and really look around and stop making excuses, we find what we need. Asking a few people for resources or help, really pays off.
As my District (@CSSD11) continues to embark on the next generation journey, other educators often ask me, "where do I even start?" I honestly believe the journey starts with flexible seating and an equally flexible mindset. I hope the questions you now have are: What resources do I have around me to help me start this journey? How excited will my kids be to see their new seating options? How will the learning change? And what will collaboration and creativity look like now in my classroom?

"I feel like I have learnt quite a bit more about writing. Helen was very encouraging and supportive and gave good feedback. It was a pleasure working with her. The College's service was very professional." Hayley Mugglestone, Basics of Creative Writing
"I enjoyed doing the course. Helen is a really good lecturer. I really enjoyed learning from her. Overall, I learnt a lot and had fun while doing so." Elaine Borman, Basics of Creative Writing
"I've caught the writing bug. As far as I know there is no cure - only writing courses to help treat the symptoms. The Basics of Creative Writing Course has provided some relief for now. I'll be sure to enrol in another course with the Writers' College if my symptoms flare up again. Helen was a wonderful tutor to have. I've come to realise that writing is tough but so rewarding if you stick to it. Helen's guidance and encouragement kept me motivated and helped me to press on. Doing the course was a wonderful way to get guidance and advice from those who've been in the very same beginner shoes I find myself wearing now." Wanda van der Wath, The Basics of Creative Writing Course
"It was a fun and enlightening experience. Helen Brain was most encouraging; her critique was always valid and helpful. The course met my objectives; in retrospect I could have possibly tried a little harder but I have renewed confidence in my writing and I learnt some very useful storytelling techniques. Overall, I was very pleased with the course. I would definitely recommend The Writers' College to anyone looking to enhance their writing skills." Katherine Otty, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"I had a lot of fun with the course; I set out to learn how to write and I did. The notes were informative and gave practical examples for all the topics. Helen has so much knowledge, it would be difficult not to learn anything from her. Her feedback was always insightful and it made me look at my work in a different way. The Writers' College gives anyone the opportunity to start learning. I really believe that anyone would benefit from doing one of their many courses. I'm grateful for all the knowledge I have gained." Werner Diedericks, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"This course was exactly what I was looking for; it really improved my knowledge of the key components of creative writing. The course notes were fantastic - clear, concise and easy to follow. Helen was fantastic to work with; responsive, friendly and her comments showed me that she had really taken the time to read what I had written and knew her stuff! I would love to have her as a tutor again. The course met all my objectives; it was absolutely great. Thanks for your flexibility - the Writers' College, and for working in with my many other commitments and deadlines. I really appreciated this - it made a huge difference to my experience of the course." Claire Barry, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"I was impressed with the volume and depth of the exercises. Some of them were very demanding but they opened my eyes to just how stories are crafted. I've learnt valuable tools to edit my texts and cut them back to what is required to push stories forward without getting lost in long descriptions. Now I feel more confident about the writing process - thank you. With English being my second language, I doubted whether I would be able to write in a way that was acceptable to a native speaker but Helen gave me the feeling I could write just as well. She answered all my questions directly and promptly and encouraged me to keep on practising. Thanks to her constructive criticism I understand more about how to build a story and keep the reader's interest. What's more, I've learned a great deal about the English language just by writing and rewriting. The course helped me to be a more confident and inspiring writer." Guenter Prinesdom, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"I loved the experience; I truly feel I learnt so many new and practical writing skills from doing the course. Helen Brain was extremely supportive and constructive with her feedback. I am very happy with my experience with The Writers' College. I'm currently doing the Advanced Creative Writing Course with Helen - which I guess says it all." Deborah Forbes, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"The course was extremely helpful. Helen Brain is a good teacher; she was positive and supportive and she gave a lot of good advice. Overall, it was a very positive experience and it has encouraged me to do more writing." Joan Rotherham, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The course was specific to my objective which was to improve my fiction writing. It was good to visit the basics of writing again and give concepts some formality and structure. It also expanded my knowledge of ways to gather material. I was particularly glad to use some of my existing fiction in some of the exercises which gave me "double" feedback; it also made the course and Helen's comments more relevant. Helen was a very gentle and encouraging tutor which was great when you are exposing yourself to criticism and critique for the first time. She was most gracious as I bombarded her with assignments with no break in between! The course showed me I had a good grasp of what is expected of a writer and I feel more confident in going forward. The writing community was so different to my usual communities but I felt welcome and was very appreciative of the encouragement I received from administrators and course tutors." Fiona Coward, Basics of Creative Writing
"I found the course interesting; I have developed skills in creative writing which I appreciate. My tutor Helen was quick to respond and accommodating (particularly with my time management towards the end of the course). I appreciated her helpful feedback and encouragement along the way. I am pleased to say I gained confidence in my writing from her feedback. Overall, I felt the College and its courses were very accessible and I received good quality training." Sue Mitchell, Basics of Creative Writing
"The course was stimulating and motivating. Although correspondence was brief, I built a respect for Helen based on the good outcomes of her advice. It felt good being under her tutelage. The course met my objectives; I am somewhat more confident of my abilities. It helped me see my work more critically; learning how to spot the dross has been very important." Bill McAndie, Basics of Creative Writing
"The teaching was great, I just need to motivate myself more to write every day and consult online documentation. Helen was more than willing to mark my work speedily as I pushed the boundary of my deadline. I really appreciated that. Online communication is an excellent method for teaching writing, but like I said, I need to motivate myself to 'do it every day', which no course or institution can do for you. I look forward to more courses and more good experiences." Manuela Tyne, Basics of Creative Writing Course.
"It was a valuable course that delivered what it promised. It taught me the Basics of Creative Writing in a very simple, yet effective way. Helen is extremely wise, patient and a helpful tutor. She inspires would-be writers by providing feedback which is both honest and encouraging. I've never signed up for any sort of writing course before (nor have I done a lot of writing) but after being guided by such a brilliant teacher I feel compelled to continue writing. The Writers' College offers quality one-on-one tutoring to students with talented, wise and accomplished writers willing to share their valuable knowledge with you." Suzanne Kolaczynski, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"The course can be described as enriching, challenging, inspiring, life changing and addictive. Helen was a wonderful tutor, inspiring, encouraging and helpful. She pushed and challenged me, she didn't allow me to rest on my laurels. She gave me confidence to try new things, take risks and grow. The course really helped develop my writing skills; I thought I was a good writer before, but now I realise I have much to learn. Taking the course has started me in the right direction, thank you." Andie Tane, Basics of Creative Writing Course.
"What a learning experience! I loved doing this course and learnt such a lot. Helen was an excellent tutor and gave me incredible advice. I will be doing the advanced course later in the year." Janine du Preez, Basics of Creative Writing
Helen was extremely helpful and very clear with instructions and criticism. She also didn't make any genre restrictions and encouraged me to simply speak with my own voice. The course met my objectives perhaps even more than I had in mind! The course is something which anyone can benefit from and which will open up new doors to them. Gratia-Mari Joubert, Basics of Creative Writing
"I loved it! It was everything I was looking for in a course. It was well designed to step a person through the basics and grow in their ability. Helen is superb! She gave excellent feedback and is upfront about your shortfalls, which is necessary for growth. I found the Writers' College highly professional and it met all my expectations in a writing course. I have already signed up for another course." Catherine Myers, Basics of Creative Writing Course
The course was informative and I feel I've learnt a lot. I found the course comfortable. It was easy enough to do without feeling the need to give up, yet challenging enough not to be boring. The experience with my lecturer was fantastic, I hope in future I can work with a lecturer equally as great and helpful. I was happy with the level of criticism, it was constructive and encouraging. The course has taught me a lot about creative writing. Overall, I found the experience at SA Writers' College enjoyable. The College seems very well organised and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about writing. Monica Terlouw, Basics of Creative Writing
"The course is well conceived, challenging and is backed up by an experienced tutor. Helen skilfully and accurately diagnosed a very common writing problem from the exercises I completed, namely that my prose was overwritten and a shade purple. No one had told me that before, I found it so valuable. That alone was worth the price of the course, not to mention all the other valuable insights I gained. It was exactly what I wanted to take my writing to the next level and now I hope to see my work published. Overall, it was an enjoyable, apprentice-style course that has challenged me and equipped me with practical writing tools." Andy Evans, Basics of Creative Writing
"I found the course far better than I expected and very worthwhile. I found Helen Brain very helpful and encouraging. I feel that I've learnt a lot from her and for that I am very thankful." Daniel Coe, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"Fantastic [course]. I learned a great deal, had fun and wrote a scene that my children have read and want to know what happens next. It made me write everyday which I loved. It was scary to show myself but exciting to watch my progress and self confidence grow. To have someone help shape my writing and be honest with me was invaluable. Helen's constructive criticism has already become lasting guidance for me. Helen's comments at times made me blush with a Homer Simpson "Doh" at mistakes I made but also laugh at myself too. She was honest, encouraging and at the same time strict which was a very good thing." Lucie McIntosh, Basics of Creative Writing Course
"A wonderfully positive experience! This course improved my writing, it gave me confidence to tell people I write and I now share my work with others. I was a bit sceptical about doing an on-line course, fearing a lack of the "hands-on" approach but my tutor Helen Brain quickly put those fears to rest. Helen's replies followed swiftly with excellent feedback. Course material and completion requirements were delivered promptly, I found them informative and to the point. I loved doing this course with Helen and hope enrol for the Advanced Creative Writing Course. This course helped my writing tremendously." Karin Lamprecht, Basics of Creative Writing
"It was a wonderful experience. I loved that I was able to go at my own pace. My tutor Helen was detailed in her feedback and if I did something well, she would tell me. It was an amazing course and definitely met my objectives. I learned a lot and had fun at the same time." Michael Mountain, Basics of Creative Writing
"A very pleasant learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and am finding what I learned very useful. The course was well set-out and easy to fit in to my busy life. Overall, it made a very positive, good impression on me. I would recommend it to others. I really did appreciate Helen's positive encouragement. She really did inspire me to be a better writer. It was excellent. No negatives at all. Keep up the good work!" Jenny Lovemore, Basics of Creative Writing
"Helen is a brilliant tutor who gave me the 'push' I needed to improve my writing. She sees a student's true potential, and knows just the right way to bring it to the fore. Thank you Helen! I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and have become a better writer for it. Having now completed two courses with the college, the reason I come back is for the manner in which the courses are taught, the excellent tutors and the comprehensive course material." Bronwyn Katzke, Bas

"David Avrin's book is absolutely spot-on. His message of adding value and truly being the best at what you do, rather than merely being one of many who are 'competitive,' is essential to success in today's marketplace. Please don't settle for just reading this book. Do what it says, and see what a difference it will make in your business."
—Joe Calloway, author, Be The Best At What Matters Most
"David Avrin's engaging and irreverent new book highlights the mind-numbing commodity of business marketing today. His conversational, often blunt, and irreverent style makes Visibility Marketing a book that keeps you engaged and challenges your preconceptions of what works, what doesn't, and why."
—Shep Hyken, New York Times best-selling author, The Amazement Revolution
"With his hard-hitting and usable advice, David Avrin has become a lynchpin advisor to the success of our business. Chances are you're going to hate hearing some of the sobering truths he has to tell you in this book, but it might be what makes or breaks your entire business. It has for ours!"

—Jeffrey Hayzlett, primetime TV & podcast host and chairman, C-Suite Network
"Perhaps the highest compliment one can pay a thought-leader is to simply say that they 'get it.' These words tell you everything you need to know and should act as a not-so-subtle suggestion that you should listen closely to what the thought leader has to say. David Avrin gets it, and when you read his book, you will too. If you don't, read it twice. I did."
—Bruce Turkel, CEO, Turkel Brands and author, Building Brand Value

Resident Evil 7 biohazard begins with the protagonist, Ethan, receiving a video message from Mia whom he has not heard from in three years. She seems concerned and in trouble, but urges Ethan to stay away. It would not be much of a game if he had listened to her, so Ethan tracks her down to a run-down plantation in Louisiana.
Following a dirt path Ethan finds some gruesome decorations along the way to the guest house that was the setting of the teaser trailer. Working his way into the basement, he finds Mia in a cell. Frustrated that he did not listen to her warning, the two now try to find the way out of the basement.
Making his way to the first floor, Ethan answers the phone and is introduced to Zoe, the daughter in the deranged family that he has yet to meet. Zoe will call Ethan other times in the game to help him along or give warnings as to what he should watch out for in the next area.
Ethan escapes the guest house only to find himself an unwitting dinner guest of the Baker family, Jack, Marguerite, and their sadistic son Lucas. There is also a strange, old woman in a wheelchair that seems to show up at key moments in the story. She watches Ethan as she feebly sits in silence, adding to the overall dread of contending with this insane family.
Once Ethan escapes the dinner table, the game of cat-and-mouse begins. Jack is the main nemesis, and enjoys terrorizing Ethan throughout the campaign. The main entrance of the house is reminiscent of the entrance hall of the mansion in the first Resident Evil. There is even a call-back puzzle from the first game that needs to be solved in the same way.
Along with the warnings from Zoe, there are videotapes to be found along the way that foreshadow upcoming areas. These are short playable stories that help Ethan to navigate the areas as scouting missions before he tackles them. With the usual limited resources, Ethan must survive the insane Baker family, save the girl, and uncover the mystery surrounding Mia and the Bakers.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard looks amazing. The Baker's house is styled after the backwoods murder houses from old horror movies. Every area inspires dread in the player, even the safe rooms do not feel safe, keeping the player always on guard. The soundtrack does well to pervade this unease.
During the times when Ethan unravels another thread of the mystery the terror ramps up considerably. The inventory system uses a space management style with weapons bound to a direction on the D-pad making weapon selection in-game fluid and customizable.
Finding useful items and files has changed to an icon to catch the player's attention, retiring the old, "Look at the shiny thing!" prompt from older titles. The story masterfully drops clues about what is happening to the very end, creating an immersive and thought provoking experience.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard has redefined the survival horror genre. The characters are amazing coupled with an engaging story. There multiple endings encourage replay along with achievements/ trophies bound to speed and resource management playthroughs.
Fans of the series will notice elements that harken to previous Resident Evil entries, while new players will not be lost by not knowing the lore surrounding the series. The playable videotapes moved the story along dynamically, rather than having to sit through cut scenes to progress the story.
The end of the game features a splash page featuring the title of the first of many downloadable content entries. Resident Evil 7 biohazard will satisfy long-time fans of the series, and is an exciting introduction for new players to the Resident Evil universe.

GNS3 Configuration Guide
GNS3 is actually the graphical front-end of Dynamips/Dynagen and allows you to drag-and-drop routers onto a stage, connect them up, run IOS on them, and save their configs, just as if you had your own network. It can be a little confusing to set up first of all so I will present a step-by-step guide below of how to install and configure GNS3 including a couple of advanced options which will allow you to run Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) on your PC.
Installation and Configuration
This process needs to be done only the once.
1. Download GNS3 from http://rapidshare.com/files/357340037/GNS3-0.7-win32-all-in-one.exe and install, accepting the various license agreements etc.
2. You now need a Cisco IOS. Get one from http://rapidshare.com/files/359743007/CisIOS.7z
3. Now open up GNS3.
4. Go to Edit-->IOS Images and Hyper visors and you should get a screen similar to below.
5. In the Settings section you need to point to the IOS image you copied in Step 2 then click on Save. The value of the IDLE PC section will be blank and leave blank for now. Now click on Close.
6. Now go to Edit-->Preferences then click on Dynamips on the left-hand side. You should get a screen similar to below.
7. The executable path should point to the dynamips-wxp.exe in the Program Files directory. Change the Working Directory to a desired folder then click on the Test button. You should see that Dynamips has successfully started, if so click Apply then OK. If not you should double-check the Executable Path and the Working Directory:
8. On the main screen drag a router onto the main screen then right-click on it and show hostname. Now click on Emulation Mode.
9. Click on the Play button on the tool bar to start the Cisco IOS.
10. In the bottom pane marked "Console" type console R0 to set up a console session with your router similar to below.
11. Say "No" to initial configuration dialog until you get to the Router> prompt. Now type enable to go into Enable mode.
12. Go back to the GNS3 session (screen shot in Step 8) KEEPING THE CONSOLE SESSION OPEN.
13. Type idlepc get your-router-name for example idlepc get R0 and wait for some idlepc values to be displayed. Make a note of these values and click Cancel.
14. By default Dynamips will take up 100% of your CPU usage and you need to specify an idlepc value to get that changed. Close down the console session and go to Design Mode in GNS3. Open up Task Manager on your PC (usually CTRL-ALT-DELETE) then go to the Performance tab.
15. Go to Edit-->IOS Images and Hypervisors and select the IOS you identified in Step 4 then click on Edit. Enter the first idlepc value you wrote down from Step 13 then click on Save then Close.
16. Go back into Emulation mode then start the IOS again then console to the router. View the CPU utilization in Task Manager and see if it falls below 5%. If it stays at 100% then go back to step 15 and change the idlepc value to the next one in the list. Repeat this until you get an idlepc value that has the CPU utilization at around 5% or less.
You have now successfully installed and configured GNS3.
Configuring a Serial Interface on a Router
By default the 3660 image that I use comes with 2 Fast-Ethernet interfaces. In order to simulate WAN links you need to add serial interfaces to the router as outlined below.
1. Right-click on your router in Design Mode then click Configure then on your router name.
2. Click on the slots tab and change slot 1 (or any other slot other than slot 0) to NM-4T. This will provide you with 4 serial interfaces. NOTE THAT THE SLOT NAME MAY BE DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHICH IOS YOU USE.
3. Click on Apply then OK.
Adding a switch module to your router
Follow the same steps as you did for configuring a serial interface but choose the NM-16ESW module from the drop-down list.
Connecting two or more routers
You will come to the point where configuring just one router is not sufficient such as when you want to run a routing protocol. The following guidelines show you how to connect routers together.
1. Drag two or more routers onto the stage and configure their slots if required. Display their hostnames by pressing the ABC button on the toolbar.
This is a personal preference and allows you to track which router is which.
2. Now click on the interface button on the toolbar and select Manual.
The interface button changes to a red cross.
Now left-click on a router and select an interface which you want a cable connected to. Now click the router to which you want to connect to and select the interface on that router for the other end of the link. You should now see the link has been drawn. Once you have finished configuring the interfaces click the interface button (red cross) to get out of interface configuration mode (the icon will revert to the telephone jack symbol). The picture below shows three routers with a Fast-Ethernet connection and the other with a Serial link (zig-zag line).
3. Notice that each link has got a red dot on it. When you go back into Emulation Mode and start the IOS, each dot should turn to green which denotes that each router has successfully started the IOS.
Saving your configuration
After all your hard work on the command line you will probably want to save your configuration and reuse it on another day. Follow the steps below to save your work:
1. In Emulation Mode go to FileSave As and save your topology where you want as a .net file. When it comes to reusing this topology just double-click on the .net file to open it up in GNS3.
2. On each router save your config using copy run start
3. Back in Emulation Mode type save /all to save all of the configs into the .net file. If you want to save the config of only one router you can replace the keyword all with the name of the router you wish to save the config of.
Configuring a host in the network (Advanced)
There may be an occasion when you want to connect a host in your topology such as running Cisco's Security Device Manager (use of this may figure in future CCNA exams). To do this you must first configure a Loop-back Adapter on your PC.
1. Go to Control Panel-->Add Hardware then click Next
2. Yes I have already connected the hardware
3. Scroll to the bottom and click on Add a new hardware device then Next
4. Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
5. Click on Network Adapters then Next
6. Select Microsoft as the Manufacturer then on Microsoft Loop-back Adapter under Network Adapter then click Next then Next again.
7. Open up Control Panel-->Network Connections to see the adapter in place.
Now that you have created a loop-back adapter you will want to connect it to a router. To do this, follow these steps:
1. In the GNS3 installation directory run the Network Device List.bat file which will give you the Ethernet address of your Loop-back Adapter.
Notice the second adapter shown where description is MS Loop-back Driver. I have renamed the adapter as Loop-back Adapter for SDM. We are interested in the NIO_gen_eth string.
2. Go into GNS3 and drag a cloud onto the stage.
3. Right-click the cloud and select configure.
4. Choose your cloud from the list.
5. In the Generic Ethernet NIO section select your Loop-back Adapter from the drop-down list (the one that matches what is shown in Step 1) and click on Add, Apply, the OK.
6. Now connect a Fast-Ethernet port on your router to the cloud as you would connect two routers.
7. Configure an IP address and subnet mask on the router interface connected to the cloud and bring the interface up.
8. Go to Control Panel-->Network Connections and right-click your adapter. Choose Properties then Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and give it an IP address in the same subnet as the router's Fast-Ethernet interface with the same subnet mask and with a default gateway matching the IP address of the router's interface.
Router's Fast-Ethernet 0/0 interface connected to the cloud:
On the router I would have something like:
Router(config)#int fa0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shut
On the PC I would have something like:
IP address = 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 192.168.1.1
You should now be able to ping between your PC and the router.
Running SDM (Advanced)
There may be a need to practice using the Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) for your exam and the following steps show you how to configure it.
1. Download and install SDM from http://rapidshare.com/files/350073328/CisSdM.rar
2. Choose to only install SDM to your PC, NOT to the router.
3. Once installed you need to configure your router with the following commands:
Router#conf t
Router(config)#hostname SDMRouter
SDMRouter(config)#ip domain-name SDMDomain
Now configure your router with the following commands:
SDMRouter(config)#username your_username privilege 15 secret 5
SDMRouter(config)#ip http server
SDMRouter(config)#ip http secure-server
SDMRouter(config)#ip http authentication local
SDMRouter(config)#line vty 0 4
SDMRouter(config-line)#login local
SDMRouter(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh
SDMRouter(config-line)#privilege level 15
SDMRouter(config-line)#line cons 0
SDMRouter(config-line)#login local
SDMRouter(config-line)#transport input telnet ssh
SDMRouter(config-line)#privilege level 15
SDMRouter(config)#crypto key generate rsa gen mod 1024
4. Now double-click the SDM icon and enter the IP address of the router and tick the box asking about HTTPS then click on Launch.
5. Ensure you allow pop-ups on your browser.
6. Enter username and password as defined after step 3.
7. Say yes to allow SDM to install.
You should now have a screen similar to the one below although this may be because I used a username and password of "cisco" which are the default.
8. Select a new username and password for the router then click OK. You should see the screen below then click OK.
9. You should now be in SDM and able to configure the router.

Before I post our Malta photos, I have a fun little tip for you that I learned from a Maltese man. Yup, a man:)
Remember this photo? Well, the first day after we arrived I totally misjudged the sun. It's tricky there because the coolish sea air down-plays the strength of the heat. I forgot to re-apply my sunscreen after a few swims and well, I got a bit burned on my legs and on my shoulders. On the way back to the hotel a local men stopped me and casually said not to use any calming oils, instead just rub in lots of plain baby powder into my wet red skin after a shower. He promised that by the morning it will totally calm down and turn brownish. He continued on saying that his wife swears by it and uses it on herself and their kids all the time. As you probably guessed already, he was right. The next morning my skin looked sun kissed without redness or pain.
Ha, who knew that baby powder can be so nifty:) What are your summer sun tricks? xo
P.S: And this one.
P.P.S: How to get smooth summer legs in under 3 minutes.

What a week!
So, I think most of you know what's going on already…but for those who don't, here it is. We went to Portland on Friday to have another ultra sound and find out if there really was anything wrong with Baby Turgeon's heart…and there is. She has AVCD…Complete Atrio Ventricular Canal Defect. Basically the wall that separates the left and right side of her heart didn't completely develop and she has a hole there. And, the flaps that go between upper and lower left and upper and lower right…there's supposed to be 4 and theres only 2. It is completely fixable with surgery, but still a little scary. The obstetrician sent us up to the pediatric cardiologist who explained everything to us from start to finish…including the risks (which really aren't that bad). He is very knowledgable and really nice. The team of doctors at Maine Medical Center in Portland are really great….a lot of them have worked in places like Boston Children's Hospital. But that's basically it in a nutshell. We have 2 more appointments in Portland…one in 6 weeks and the other 6 weeks after that. Then, I'll go in around 39 weeks and they'll induce me. Matt and I are doing pretty well with everything I think. But definitely keep us in your prayers. =)

A Review of Major Payment Gateways in India
There are tons of reviews on payment Gateways in India; So what prompted us to write one more? Because we feel that many of the old reviews have become less relevant over a period of time and are just an overdose for the first timers. So we wanted to prepare a dummies guide after a personal experience with all major providers.
If you sell something on the internet, you need to have a payment gateway to collect money from your customers. Your payment gateway account enables you to accept payments by credit/debit cards, net-banking & cash cards. So what all options do we have here in India? Just a handful of them and sadly, none of them lives up to the expectations of a merchant.
India is the land of hassles, hassle to get a gas connection, hassle to get a bill passed – and so is getting a payment gateway A/c 🙂 I have personally applied for a payment gateway a/c thrice from 2009 to 2012. Since January, 2012, we have closely worked with quite a lot of payment gateway service providers & have till date facilitated payment gateway accounts for about a hundred customers here @ Zepo. During this period, I've communicated with almost all payment gateway providers. Therefore, i thought to write a short review of each option which is worth considering for you
Here is the list of parameters which are important for you to consider while selecting a payment gateway
1. The cost of a payment gateway
Most of the players require us to pay 'Set-up fee'. (which ranges from 5000 to 50,000) And then they charge you a % on every transaction that happens over your e-commerce website (This is called TDR and ranges from 2.5% to 7%). TDR & set-up fee are inversely proportional to each other. They all offer multiple plans starting with low set-up fee+high TDR & others with high set-up fee+low TDR. In addition to TDR & set-up fee, they also charge you yearly Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC) which range from Rs. 1200/year to Rs. 3600/year.
2. The service & attitude
Opening a Payment gateway a/c is just like a bank a/c. It is necessary to have a good relation with the service provider. And that is possible only if the service provider provides good service. From ensuring least hassle in opening the a/c to smooth operations later on; they should be accommodating and act reasonable with an understanding attitude. Well, i guess that would be too much to ask 🙂
3. User-interface of Payment Page
This is the only tangible element of a payment gateway provider service. And YOUR customers have to interact with this page to make the payment to you. So before you sign-up with anyone, make sure they have a good & simple-to-use payment page.
4. Other Basic things
There are other important basic things which even though are taken for granted, should be cross-checked with the provider that you are considering. For example – Multiple Payment Options, Stringent Fraud Check Processes, High Uptime, Reliable company / service provider, Sandbox environment, integration API,
Once you figure out the right payment gateway provider & plan for you, half the battle is won 🙂 Then starts the real hassle to complete the loads of required paperwork. If performed at best possible speed, it shall take about 5-10 days to complete all formalities & get a payment gateway a/c. But its doesn't end there yet! Initially, they allot you 2-3 options to collect payment & all other main options (like VISA & MASTERCARD) are activated later & may take up to a month.
So all of you planning to accept online payment on your ecommerce websites, you better start well in advance (at least 30-45 days before you actually want to start accepting it). I am not pointing-out at any provider or the lack of service. I strongly believe that everyone is doing their best they can in the given conditions & stipulations laid down by RBI.
So now I will list all providers & simply rate them on the above 4 parameters (based out of personal experience & little research). Please note: Paypal is very restricted in India (thanks to RBI regulations) and thus does not come into consideration for any etailer who wants to sell in India. So here are the options worth consideration:
Plans starting from:
Set-up fee: Rs. 0
TDR%: Credit Cards – 2.25% || Debit Cards – 1.25% || Net Banking – 2.25%
AMC: Rs 3600 which is negotiable.
Service: 8/10
User-interface: 8/10
Basic things: 8/10
More: The biggest 3rd party player in India and powers around 85% of Indian ecommerce websites. It has been in the market for around 15 years now. It offers a wide range of payment options, around 140+. There are a wide range of features, which are free of cost, for all the customers with the Payment Gateway. It is a good and trusted option to opt.
PS. Zepo offers a free CC Avenue payment gateway with every account.
Plans starting from: Set-up fee – Rs. 12000 || 5% TDR || AMC – Rs. 3600
Can be negotiated up to || Set-up fee – Rs. 4000 || 5% TDR || AMC – Rs. 2400
Service: 8/10
User-interface: 8/10
Basic things: 8/10
More: One of the good ones among the whole lot, as far as service is concerned. They are pretty accommodating & act reasonable. It has the good UI when compared to others. Competent rates. They are now my 2nd preference because lately their service levels have been falling
Plans starting from
Set-up fee: Rs. 6000
TDR%: Credit Cards – 4.9% || Debit Cards – 1.25% || Net Banking – 4.9%
AMC: Rs. 2400
Can be negotiated up to || Set-up fee- Rs. 4000 || AMC – Rs. 2400
Service: 8/10
User-interface: 8.5/10
Basic things: 9/10
More: Relatively new entrant in the market & have actually come up with some good features. Currently offering the lowest TDR in the market. Already being used by biggies like Jabong, SnapDeal, BookMyShow and Ferns and Petals. Seems to be more customer friendly than others 🙂 They have definitely maintained their customer service levels, even as they have grown. The USP of this payment gateway is the good practices which they claim results in 12% better conversions.
Overall, with 1 % savings in the form of TDR + better conversion rates, at this moment I would pick PayUbiz as a recommendation. After all, in e-commerce every % matters 🙂
PS. Zepo offers a free PayUbiz payment gateway with every account. You can read more about it here.
Plans starting from || Set-up fee- Rs. 7500 || 6.5% TDR || AMC-Rs. 2400
Can be negotiated up to || Set-up fee- Rs. 5000 || 6.5% TDR || AMC-Rs. 2400
Service: 7/10
User-interface: 7/10
Basic things: 8/10
More: A reliable company and a part of Times Group. Decent UI. Responsive. For me, they can be counted as an option after EBS.
Plans starting from || Set-up fee- Rs. 15000 || 4% TDR || AMC- Rs. 3000
Service: 7/10
User-interface: 8.5/10
Basic things: 7/10
More: IIt is a relatively new player in the market but is making doing good as far as their platform and services are concerned. They have one of the best user interfaces around, for a payment gateway. As of now, they are powering major online sites like Snapdeal, Homeshop18, ITC Hotels, Dishtv, PVR, Bagittoday.com. Considering the are still very new, the processing of all applications may take a few more days than usual.
There are other reliable one's like Billdesk.com which have really high charges but offers the widest payment options.
And then, there are other companies which we are still not sure of like ipayin.com, transecute.com, ABCpayments.com, BillBharo.com,
To know more about the things worth considering before you finalize your payment gateway provider, check out this wonderful article by Santosh Panda, Founder of Ayojak & another wonderful article on 10 Things You Need to Know Before Signing up with a Payment Gateway in India
All these payment gateway providers support net banking. Although the number of banks they support differ. So, we are including a comparison list of all the 5 payment gateway providers mentioned above and the net banking options available with each.
CCAvenue, by far, supports the maximum number of banks. Whereas, EBS, PayTM and PayU, more or less, support the same number of banks.
(For a larger image, open image in a new tab)
1. Above, we have listed only 3rd Party payment gateway service providers. As we think that for start-ups just venturing out to sell online for the first time, direct banks are out of the consideration set due to high set-up fees & more complex formalities. (which include the likes of ICICI, HDFC)
2. We also give an Indian payment gateway for free with every Zepo account.
