New research from RBTE of over 7,500 retail professionals shows keeping up with
technological advancements is retailers' top business concern
Keeping up with technological innovations remains the greatest
challenge faced by retailers, according to new research from Retail Business Technology Expo (RBTE).
Original research of over 7,500 retail professionals by Europe's leading retail technology trade show, RBTE, revealed that keeping up with technology advancements was the number one challenge identified by 35% of the retailers polled. Issues around meeting customer experience was cited by a quarter (25%) of retailers as the greatest barrier facing their organisations – and driving and retaining customer loyalty (6%) and delivering personalised services for shoppers (6%) also featured in the top five retail challenges.
This is mirrored by customer frustrations around the shopping experience, with a lack of omnichannel integration between online
and in-store leaving 71% of UK consumers disappointed, according to recent shopper research from Vodat. While another poll by
PCMS revealed 84% of shoppers put their decision to shop with a retailer again down to the levels of personalised customer service they experience during their buying journey.
Concerns around competition and saturation of the retail market were also cited by 10% of the retailers polled, which also reflected uncertainty around the changing role of retail stores and retailers' operations – a theme highlighted in the Grimsey Review 2, which suggested the current high street crisis could leave 100,000 shops empty within a decade.
Matt Bradley, Show Director at RBTE, said: "Innovation is king in the retail industry - and business leaders must now, more than ever, define and prioritise driving digital transformation into their own strategies, whether through omnichannel customer service, payment options, product access and clever shipping opportunities."
"The evolution of technology within retail is shaping how consumers behave and interact with brands. Technology has become central to retail and continues to shape the future of the sector
– and it's our role to showcase the most innovative, new and exciting retail technology products, services and solutions crucial to the success of modern multichannel retailing," he concluded.
Thousands of retail professionals visited the 2018 expo in May and, with 40% of RBTE 2018's audience made up of retailers and brands, including 90% of the Top 30 UK retailers, and 79% authorising or influencing purchase decisions for retail solutions.
As a result of in-depth research with the retail industry, we have transformed RBTE, Retail Design Expo (RDE) and Retail Digital Signage Expo (RDSE) into one event, RetailEXPO, which will be held at Olympia London, 1-2 May 2019. RetailEXPO will bring together the industry to share the ideas and solutions that will empower retailers to thrive now and in the future.

Previous rules barred Indian institutions from directly applying for a tie up with a foreign university. But foreign institutes could seek permission from the UGC for academic collaborations. The amended rules will allow Indian institutions to apply online on the UGC website for collaborations with foreign universities to offer UG and PG courses. Under this new policy students will also have opportunity to study in foreign universities and making the Indian degree more valuable by having the name and insignia of the foreign university. The transcripts carrying the credits earned in India and abroad will be signed jointly by both partner universities. We feel that this step has been surely taken to make alliance stronger between Indian and foreign academic Institutions so that students may have additional choices improved curriculum and opportunities. Under this policy the recruitment of foreign students in Indian universities will also increase. The changed norms could weed out the growing number of institutes offering bogus foreign degrees and certificates to hundreds of unsuspecting students each year.
We once again thank Smt Smriti Irani for the great step taken through this new policy. This will bring new paradigm in Indian education scenario.

In today's class, we discussed some of the open source projects, specifically Linux, Firefox, and Wikipedia. These examples illustrate the concept of collaborate working behind the open source movement and contribute to something Lievrouw calls "commons knowledge." This level of knowledge is perhaps best characterized as flexible, dynamic and egalitarian. This form of knowledge production differs from the top-down system of knowledge produced by professional experts.
The movement has produced numerous advances but also many problems that are inherent to a relatively decentralized mode of production. To borrow Eric Raymond's metaphors, the cathedral maybe be beautiful and ordered, but it is a closed system. However, the bazaar offers variety yet it might lack the elegance of the cathedral. Is exchanging quality for dynamism a fair trade?

My name is Michael Louvier, Law Clerk to Matthew Poole, Esq. At this time of the year, it seems appropriate to reflect on the past year, look forward to the New Year to come, 2019, and to be thankful for what we have today. I thank God everyday for my family, with whom He blesses me every day of my life. I thank God for the unconditional love that my wife and two children and I have for each other. I'm thankful for my parents, who have been married for 62 years, and who set the bar very high for my three siblings and I as parents and grandparents. I thank God for my sister and two brothers, all older than me, and all wiser, as it should be. Especially during this time of the year, when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, I thank God for the blessing of the multitude of children that He has brought into mine and my wife's lives. So many children in our 32 years together, 28 years married and 25 years as parents. Nephew, nieces, and hundreds of children have enriched us as a family. They have all made us laugh, cry, celebrate, rejoice and pray, and our lives are much more complete knowing each child. We love them all and say those exact words to them anytime we can. Many are "all-grown-up" adults now, off of dad's payroll, as it were. And some of these children are having children of their own. We are so proud to be invited to the Baptisms, birthday parties… I could go on and on and on, suffice it to say that my wife and I love children, all of them. And from that love came this article, to-wit
At this time of year it is also appropriate to try to keep the wants, needs and wishes of others in mind, especially our children. Gifts under the tree and good food, desserts and cider are always a wonderful way to spend Christmas. Gift giving, mistletoe and the like aside, making the Holiday Season better for you and yours is always a complicated matter. And so, regardless of your marital situation: married, separated, divorced, re-married, single parent…it really doesn't matter. If you want to make this Season better for your family and your children more enjoyable and less stressful, I urge you to consider the following:
Whenever you are enjoying time with your family, especially your children, you should always be mindful of your alcohol consumption. If you are an everyday drinker, slow it down. No need to show everyone how much you can drink, it's not a contest that you want to win anyway. If you are a social drinker, then be more social than drinker. If you rarely drink alcohol and the egg-nog is exceptional, then make sure you don't overdo it. In short: Be responsible for yourself and be nice. It's the Holiday Season so Be Sober and Be Nice.
For the split and co-mingled families that live apart and geography and logistics become a variable in this issue – one word of advice: COMMUNICATE. Without communication with your ex (or his mom or the new husband or his 19-year-old daughter, etc., this will be a problem. The more children involved the more difficult the logistics become and; therefore, the more vital COMMUNICATION becomes. Whomever you must coordinate with to make this a less than impossible task, make all plan for exchanges and travel and meeting places early. Attempt to agree on a "half-way point" that is well lit, has a bathroom and some refreshments and maybe even good food. Schedule an agreed to best time and place and stick to it. If you haven't yet done this part and you are reading this, then you should be searching for the contact in your phone right now. And when you get them on the line, tell them to pull up this site and read this blog. (Do this now!) Travel for this purpose is stressful, potentially dangerous according to weather and other conditions, and potentially expensive. Remember to have the car gassed up and ready to go. Minimize the stress by being the clear voice of reason in the communication. Drive carefully always. If it's an extended drive, make the ride more comfortable with pillows and blankets and a cooler of water and maybe some snacks and sandwiches. Don't be in too much of a hurry, as accidents will never get you there sooner. Don't allow your emotions and the overall vitriol for the "other family" to dictate the plan. Most of all remember that it's all about the kids, not you. Let me repeat that: this whole plan is about your children, and not about you. Be Flexible, Be the adult….Be Nice.
School is out for everyone, and that is sometimes good news for the kids and the teachers (I thank God for our educators, too!), but not good news for working parents. During your extended Holiday visitation period, your child might have a friend that has some free time. Within your limits when factoring the job restraints, the financial realities and the geographical issues, you may want to ask your child if he would care to include a friend or two in some of your plans. And don't simply pick them up and go back to your place for some riveting television watching. Go somewhere! Do things! Go to the mall, the movie, museum, Chinese buffet, burger joint, ice-cream shoppe. You get it? Good, now do it! No matter where you live, there is always something to do in your area that is fun and exciting and sometimes even free. If all else fails, order a pizza and rent a good movie. Just don't be a dud, Dad.
There is a growing debate about limiting access to social media during visits. There is no easy answer except to suggest that your child should feel comfortable to be online, but that she, too, should be aware of your time and your plans, etc. Just because I suggest that it's all about them is not to be misinterpreted as it's ALL about them. Kids used to have to drive away in a car to be miles away from you, now they can be sitting next to you on the couch, iphone in hand, and be on a completely different planet than you. By the same token, they can be hundreds of miles away from you and you can be talking to each other as if you were in the same room. Use this Holiday time as an opportunity to enhance your relationship and let social media assist you instead of letting it be a point of contention.
Our previous blog entry "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" could suggest that the higher the grade your child is in, the least likely you are to have any clue about the math and foreign language and almost all other subjects that they take. Get involved in your child's everyday academic life before they understand how much of it that you don't understand. Ask your student to share their required reading with you (now you have something to read, mom!) and this will immediately become a topic of conversation between the two of you.
My point in this article is clear: Be good to your children, especially in this Holiday Season. This is the time of year that we celebrate the birth of our Savior, the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
My prayer: Thank You, Lord, for blessing us with these many children in our lives. Let all those parents and others that read this article to gain some guidance from You, humbly, through me. Amen.
Michael Louvier, B.A. (University of New Orleans), J.D. (Mississippi College School of Law) is the primary clerk to Attorney Matthew Poole. He has two decades of legal experience and is the father of three.

CMA Weekend Workouts!
CMA Weekend Workouts (WW) are fun, dynamic, and comprehensive training events! Enjoy the majestic beauty of the North Shore of Lake Superior, or a MN State Park as we camp out in tents or cabins. Become engrossed in the ambiance of the great outdoors as you build your Christ-centered character.
Every year we schedule 2-4 Weekend Workouts in MN. In 2019, we have scheduled three on the North Shore of Lake Superior (see the websites Calendar months of June, July, and August)! These events are for the serious students of ages 8 and older. Parents are welcome to come and camp with us. We will train on all areas of our Christ-centered Martial Arts, but have the advantage of saturating these areas in the ambiance of the great outdoors! Learn our dynamic basics of kicks, hand strikes, self defense, sparring, board breaking, and forms on diverse surfaces and climates. Take advantage of the saturation of learning Christ-centered Virtues, Values, and Traits while taking a weekend break from all electronics and distractions. Pray and read the Word along Lake Superior or one of its raging rivers and find a peace that is hard to describe!
Generally, we meet at the Twin Cities CMA location at the Great Hope Community Church parking lot and caravan it up to the WW campgrounds or hotel. Often, due to varying work schedules, students will drive up later on the first day to join us for a robust dinner and fellowship around a roaring fire. The WWs are generally scheduled from a Friday morning for those who can get it off from work and who want an early start and special classes that the time affords. We will then conduct workouts along the North Shore throughout the weekend, and maybe take in a brisk swim in the big lake or at a river area! The Weekend concludes on a Sunday and we return to the Great Hope Community Church at approximately 5:30 PM.
Food is provided for a cost of $35.00 per person. Or, we may have a great pizza, or a pan seared trout lunch (everyone contributes $$$ for this) in Grand Marais on a Saturday! Details and an Agenda are provide in advance for each student and parents.
The cost of the WW varies from $125.00 if you pay within two weeks of the WW; $100.00 if you pay before two weeks of the WW; and special discounts are given for multiple students of one family. Campsites or hotel reservations and costs are the responsibility of the participants.
You are responsible for your own transportation to and from and throughout the WW. The Teacher Grade Master Instructor must be informed of any special diets and food allergies, as well as any medical conditions that may not be conducive to the terrain and intensity of the WW. Some of the terrain is rugged and not suitable for everyone. We will accommodate everyone as much as possible for the scheduled events, but some may need to be forfeited due to the above constraints.Time off for site seeing and even hiking or swimming may be provided but are to be done at your own risk and responsibility.
A "To Bring List" will be provided ahead of time so you will know what to bring. Contact information will also be provided. Please be advised that many areas where WWs are conducted are out of the range of cell towers, so it may be difficult to reach us during the day.
For further information, please don't hesitate to contact Pastor Jeff Goodwin, Sr via email or at (763) 202-9908.
We'll see you up north this summer!
In Christ!

A New Outcome!
By: Matt Cline
August 31, 2012
My friend Matt wrote, "There are a few things in my business I'd like to change. The problem is I find a thousand excuses. There's a saying in business that states; "If you don't like your outcome, change your response."
In simple terms, change your old habits and ways of doing things. Unless I change my business practices and behaviors, I shouldn't expect a different outcome.
In Galatians 2:20, Paul wrote, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
Paul realized that through the death and resurrection of Jesus, he had the opportunity for a new outcome. Just like Paul, you and I can experience new success and outcomes in our lives and businesses if we're willing to crucify our old ways.

5. Meet Lola! A niece of a friend found this little one roaming the street by herself :-0 They were looking for a home for her and I just couldn't say no!!

I've been reading various posts on car media server projects that users have completed. There is still one question of functionality that no one has touched on and I need to know if it's possible.
My children are too young right now to know how to select media content via a tablet. If I have two tablet devices (one for each child), is there any way that I can push media content to each one of their devices via another device like another tablet? I guess what I'm asking for is a 'remote control' to control what plays on each device independently.

You can use this guide on how to mix concrete by hand for a pre-mixed bag like quikcrete or if you're using a bag of cement, sand, gravel, and water.
The instructions are very similar, the only difference being with the pre-mixed bag the dry materials are already combined.
1. Wheelbarrow
2. Water/Hose
3. Bags of Portland Cement
4. Gloves/Safety glasses
5. Shovel and/or Hoe
6. Sand and Gravel
7. Pre-mixed bags Quikcrete (optional)
8. Electric mixer (optional)
If you're using portland cement, sand, and gravel the rule of thumb is to mix 1 shovel of cement with 2 shovels of sand and 3 shovels of gravel. Put these 6 total shovel fulls into a wheelbarrow or the electric mixer before you start adding water.
When you add more dry material keep these 1:2:3 ratios of cement, sand, and gravel the same for a consistent mix.
If you're using the pre-mixed bags all the ratios are done for you. You just need to add the correct amount of water for a workable mix. The amount of water will be on the back of the bag.
STEP 1. Shovel the proper ratio of dry mix, or empty the quikcrete bag, into the wheelbarrow or electric mixer.
STEP 2. Start adding water, a little at a time, turn the dry material over and over while mixing it with the water.
STEP 3. Completely wet all the material, mix for a couple of minutes until you reach a clay consistency.
STEP 4. If a clay like consistency is too dry for your project, add a little more water, mix some more until you reach a pancake batter like consistency. Not too wet or you'll weaken the mix.
STEP 5. If the mix gets to loose or water-like, just add a little more dry material to stiffen it up.
Keeping the ratios of cement, sand, gravel, (1:2:3) and water the same throughout the project will insure consistency until you complete your job.
A 5 ft. x 5 ft. square pad equals 25 square feet. If this pad is 4 inches thick it will take 15 of the 80 lb bags of pre-mixed quikcrete.
If you double the square feet to 50 which is 10 ft x 5 ft x 4 inches thick that will take 30 bags of quikcrete in the 80 lb bags.
A bag of 80 lb quikcrete sells for about $3.35 US dollars in Maine.
A bag of 94 lb portland cement sells for $8.63 US dollars in Maine.
A bag of 50 lb sand sells for $2.34 US dollars in Maine.
Learning how to mix concrete by hand is simple but it is hard work.
If your project is any larger than 50 square feet then it might be worth calling a Ready-mix concrete company and have them deliver the concrete in a concrete truck. The concrete will come all mixed and all you have to do is place it inside your forms.
See HOW TO POUR CONCRETE to learn how to pour a concrete slab.
yard of concrete will do 80 square feet (8 x 10) 4 inches thick and
will cost about $100.00 dollars US from a ready-mix plant. They may
charge a small load charge, be sure to ask to make sure it's cost
effective to go this way. The same size pad would take 46 pre-mixed 80 pound bags of Quikrete or Sakrete. That's a lot of mixing by hand.
We usually buy pre-mixed bags of concrete when we mix concrete by hand. We also use an electric drill with a mixing paddle, it's much easier and faster if you have these tools available.

I seem to have developed a bit of fetish, and I am not sure how to handle it. Some guys seem to act out their fetish, but I am not sure that is the right thing to do. It could be that a fetish is better played with in fantasy land and not acted out at all. But I do have a dream of acting out my fetish with one of the sexy girls from https://charlotteaction.org/barbican-escorts. That would be the ultimate treat as far as I am concerned.
The truth is, however, that I have not got passed go as far my fetish is concerned. I would love to have a chat to a girl at Barbican escorts about my fetish, but I am such a coward that I have not even been able to do that. This is the first time I have experienced a fetish, and I am not sure that it is something that you bring out and talk about in the open. The question is, is okay to talk to someone about your fetish and explain how you feel? More than anything, is my fetish crazy?
Perhaps I worry too much about my fetish and I should maybe just learn how to let go. Learning how to express and make the most out of fetish is said to be one of the most satisfying things that you can do. Am I prepared to do that? I am sure that I would do that if I felt totally comfortable around the sexy girls from Barbican escorts. I am not sure if they would like to play with my fetish, and enjoy it as much as I would do. If they seemed to like the idea of my fetish, I think that it would be kind of a game changer and I would just go for it.
Should you tell it all to the escorts that you are dating? Although I have been dating sexy girls at Barbican escorts for some time, I am not sure that I am happy to tell it all to them. I actually worry about them running off to tell their friends and kind of gossip about me. The fact that someone would call me a weirdo behind my back would upset me a lot, and I am not sure that I would be able to carry on dating Barbican escorts if I knew that the girls were to talking about me. You could say that it would probably seriously affect my performance.
Would you like to know what my fetish is that I would like to share with the sexy girls at Barbican escorts? Well, I would like to have a chance to be Tarzan for one night. It sounds mad, but I caught an old Tarzan movie when I was watching TV late one night. At first it did not do a lot for me, but it did not take me long to realise that I would like to be king of the jungle for one day. Like any other king of the jungle, I would have to have my own Jane. But my Jane would have to be a very special Jane, and instead of wearing a skimpy top and briefs, she would have to wear some PVC. In other words, my queen of the jungle would have to be a little bit kinky as well.

Location: Tonbridge (Kent), Skype
I have a BSc (hons) in Dietetics from the USA and a BSc in Nutritional Medicine from the UK.
I initially studied Dietetics but did not pursue a career in it, because it seemed to me to be too much of a "one size fits all" approach. I kept thinking - "there must be more to nutrition than this". After a number of years and a decline in my own health, I rediscovered nutrition and it has really helped me with my own health.
I was also concerned about the health issues that run in my family and have put a lot of effort into trying to prevent these myself. I am excited by the application of nutrition with genetic testing because I feels it gives greater scope in this area.
I completed the Genesnippers Nutrigenomics in Functional Medicine Programme and am currently working my way through the Nutrigenomics course with Metabolic Healing.

Although emerging markets have been weak in months past, the region still attracts a great deal of interest among investors of all stripes. These nations seem poised to dominate the economy in future years and while some are slowing down right now, their growth rates still put developed economies to shame. Yet, thanks to these slowdown fears, some are beginning to grow concerned about the major emerging nations, specifically India and China. As a result, a number of smaller countries, such as Brazil and Indonesia, are attracting more interest from those who are seeking greater diversity in their holdings (see India ETFs: Behind The Crash ).
Brazil in particular has attracted a great deal of interest from ETF investors as the nation remains an intriguing choice for exposure beyond the two largest BRIC economies. Although the country still has its problems, it is one of the more dynamic commodity producers and sees much more stability from a geopolitical perspective than any of its other BRIC counterparts. Thanks in part to this, Brazilian assets have seen the launch of several products targeting not only various capitalization levels, but sectors as well in ETF form. Yet even though there is a wealth of choices, most investors continue to flow into a single ETF for their Brazilian exposure, the iShares MSCI Brazil Index Fund ( EWZ ).
The popular fund is a solid product that has built up an enormous amount of assets since its inception more than a decade ago at just under $9.4 billion AUM. The fund is also an extremely popular trading tool, changing hands close to 16 million times a day. While the fund may be very well-known, its actual holdings leave much to be desired (read Top Three BRIC ETFs ).
EWZ holds 84 securities in total but puts a large amount of its assets in the top ten holdings at close to 60%. This gives the fund a heavy concentration on large cap equities, which can often reduce volatility but can cut down on growth as well. Furthermore, many large caps tend to do business in a variety of markets around the world suggesting that some firms, such as top ten holding Ambev, may derive a significant portion of their return from markets outside of Brazil.
Beyond this, EWZ is also heavily concentrated in a few sectors and individual securities as well. Basic materials and financial services combine to make up roughly 50% of total assets, while next to nothing is left for communication, real estate, tech, or health care. Furthermore, two companies, Petrobras ( PBR ) and Vale ( VALE ), when adding up all their shares classes that are represented in EWZ, make up 18% and 14% of the fund, respectively. This suggests that EWZ is heavily concentrated in just two firms and that a great deal of Brazilian companies do not matter very much to the performance of EWZ over the long term (see Go Local With Emerging Market Bond ETFs ).
Luckily for investors seeking more diversified exposure, a number of quality alternatives are available. This is especially true in the small cap Brazilian ETF space where investors have two options to choose from. Both of these funds focus on pint sized securities that could offer more of a 'pure play' on the Brazilian economy allowing many to get in on ground floor of the growth story in the nation. While either choice could make for a good alternative to EWZ, there are a few key differences that investors need to be aware of between the two Brazil Small Cap ETFs on the market today:
Market Vectors Brazil Small-Cap ETF ( BRF )
The leader in the space, BRF tracks the Market Vectors Brazil Small-Cap Index, a rules-based, modified market cap-weighted, float-adjusted index intended to give investors exposure to Brazilian small-cap companies. The product holds 73 securities in total, and unlike its large cap counterpart, is heavily focused on consumer and industrial companies. Furthermore, the fund allocates just 30% of its assets to its top ten holdings suggesting that no single company dominates the risk/return profile of the fund. Unfortunately, like many small cap products, it tends to lose more than its large cap counterpart in times of weakness and such was the case this year; BRF has lost 28.3% in 2011, slightly more than its large cap focused counterpart, EWZ (read ETFs vs. Mutual Funds ).
iShares MSCI Brazil Small Cap Index Fund ( EWZS )
For another way to play the small cap Brazilian market, some investors have decided to take a closer look at this iShares fund instead. EWZS tracks the MSCI Brazil Small Cap Index which looks to give investors exposure to a basket of small cap Brazilian stocks across a variety of industries. Much like BRF, this fund has a heavy focus on industrials and consumer discretionary firms, although financials do make up close to 22% of total assets as well. The fund has outperformed BRF over the past 52 weeks by a pretty wide margin but unfortunately it can't compete on some other metrics. EWZS is both more expensive and less liquid than BRF so traders could see higher overall costs by choosing this fund. Nevertheless, if the recent outperformance can continue, these higher costs could be more than made up for by the relatively better return that the iShares fund has demonstrated so far this year.

Quick Cash – Why People Getting Them
The number of availing payday loans is quite increasing from a period of time, considering unsecured loans to be the type of loan that is most consumed by a lot of money borrowers in the UK. In fact, out of the total count of the loaners in the whole country, the number of people who avail quick cash loans are 4 times as many people than the other kind of offered loans.
"Payday loans in the United Kingdom are a rapidly growing industry, with four times as many people using such loans in 2009 compared to 2006. In 2009, 1.2 million people took out 4.1 million loans with a total lending amount of £1.2 billion. In 2012, it is estimated that the market was worth £2.2 billion and that the average loan size was around £270." — Source: Wikipedia.org
Based on the statement above, payday loans are widely used by a lot of British compare to other loans that are offered by financial firms and corporations. Considering that 70% out of the total number of loans are payday loans, it is quite the most consumed loan.
There are reasons why more people avail payday loans rather than other types of loans. Researchers conducted a survey in order to find out the usual circumstances of people in order to determine why payday loans are consumed widely. The statements conducted in the next paragraph are the results of the said research.

Why Payday Loans Fit All Situations
Considering its easy access, people patronize payday loans because they prefer to have less hassle in borrowing funds and don't want to put much effort. So instead of availing other loans that demand a lot of documentations, they prefer availing payday loans.
Mostly, people don't need a large sum of money in order to cover up their expenses. Most people often needed cash in order to cover up usual expenses Such as electric bills, phone bills and emergency funds, so only a right amount will do in order to meet the ends. Almost all of the offered loans have a range of amount that is too much than what borrower's want, even if the amount is in its least form it is still too much of what the loaners need, so they don't get to avail it. Considering payday loans offer limited cash, you can borrow money for as low as £100, people who avail the said loan find this suitable for them. So this is one of the reasons why people tend to avail unsecured loans rather than any other loans.
Some needed extra funds for sudden expenses like emergencies. In those cases, people need to cover it up as soon as possible. Seeing that other offered loans take time to release, this is not good for the said situation. Payday loans are quite different from the others, considering its low criteria and less demand for requirements, it takes less time to evaluate the borrower's ability to repay the loan. Hence, the release of borrowed cash is faster and can be used immediately by the borrower. So this is another reason why people patronize payday loans more than other kinds of loans.
The Plan is Easy from Top to Bottom
How people will pay their debts is also an issue. Most payday loan consumers that were interviewed said that the process of paying their debt needs to be convenient and in their favour so that it wouldn't put them into too much pressure and hassle. As for how lenders offer different procedures of repaying their loan, people can choose how they want to repay what they borrowed. They can choose whatever way that suits them, whether they want to deduct a few pounds in each paycheck for a year or deduct the whole amount in the second paycheck. The options for repaying is wide and can be negotiated by the lender and the borrower. Despite the fact that unsecured loans have high-interest rate and other fees, consumers didn't mind about it and rather considered the pros of the said loan. So consumers find this another reason why they chose to get unsecured loans among the other types of loans.
People who are also unemployed can avail the said loan and can be repaid after they find a job. Other loan services don't consider this type of situation, for they believe that the money that they will lend will never be repaid. So for those people who need an initial fund to cover up their needs while they are unemployed find payday loans useful and a big help for them.
Because of a wide range of consumers that keeps on growing, No wonder why the industry of payday loans are corresponding to the growth. The common evidence of the growing financial business is how the companies advertise their service throughout the community, whether by the internet, TV or radio, this is one of the signs that the said loan is on the trend. And by eliminating the brokers, and more companies began to do direct financing, the quality of payday loan rises.
This type of business will help not just who are in times of need but also the growth of the economy of the country. The future of the financial industry possibly will enhance rapid growth influenced by the said unsecured loans.

Ms Dynamite speaks before Barbican Weekender mini-festival with Rufus Wainwright and N-Dubz rapper Fazer
PUBLISHED: 10:47 20 February 2012 | UPDATED: 11:13 20 February 2012
Ms Dynamite talks candidly about the fall-out from achieving huge success at a young age, ahead of her performance at the Barbican Weekender next weekend, which also features singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright
At the age of 21, Archway-born Niomi McLean-Daley, better known as award-winning performer Ms Dynamite, had the world at her feet.
Her 2002 debut album A Little Deeper found both commercial success and critical acclaim, spawning the rapper-cum-singer a host of glowing reviews for her politically-charged lyrics and insightful social commentary.
The record sold over a million copies and helped Ms Dynamite pick up a range of accolades, including two BRIT awards and three MOBO awards, not to mention the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
Since then, nearly a decade has passed and only one more Ms Dynamite album has seen the light of day – she has even gone on record as describing her Mercury Prize win as a "curse" for the unwanted attention it brought.
Talking ahead of a highly-anticipated show with the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican on March 3, the 30-year-old said: "I was a very angry, hurt and unstable character as a teenager. We experienced a lot of hardship growing up – my family breaking up, I had brothers and sisters pass away – I became quite angry."
She also now acknowledges the difficulties she had adjusting to her initial fame, explaining: "Being in that position, it was a huge pressure. I guess, in hindsight, I wasn't coping in the best way.
"I think getting out of music when I did was a blessing because it gave me time to grow as a person and be who I am today."
The mother-of-one, who used her time off to commit full attention to raising her eight-year-old son Shavaar, is currently working on a new album to be released sometime this year and believes the future looks bright.
She said: "As an artist I'm 100 per cent confident, I'm much more in control. I've got a good feeling about everything - I'm in love with making music again."
At the Barbican show next week, Ms Dynamite will be sharing the bill with Tottenham-born rapper Skepta and fellow MCs Devlin and Fazer, as part of the Urban Classic concert alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Describing her collaboration with the orchestra, Ms Dynamite said: "I'd advise anybody to come down and have a listen. It's two different worlds meeting one another and blending and working together – it's very interesting."
The evening performance is one of a variety of events taking place at the venue for this year's Barbican Weekender, titled Urban Stories.
On the Sunday evening, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright will be joined by the orchestra for a UK premiere of his rendition of five Shakespeare sonnets.
The weekend, billed by organisers as 'Shakespeare meets hip-hop', will involve two days of free events, including performances from Barbican Young Poets and workshops led by the Hip Hop Shakespeare Company, in addition to the evening concerts.

Step 1: Install Privoxy. Follow the directions there. I can't help you set it up. It's pretty simple, if I recall correctly. It's nice to have, it does lots of ad-blocking and popup-killing stuff, too - it's a happy thing to have running.
Step 2: Edit the 'filter file'; you can find out where it is by going to http://config.privoxy.org/show-status once Privoxy's up. Use your favorite text editor.
Step 3: Paste this in:
# kill LJ's hideous new quick comment boxes
FILTER: lj-quick-comments Get rid of LJ's quick comment boxes
s/<a onclick='return quickreply\(.*\)' /<a /ig
and save the file.
Step 4:Go here and hit 'Insert new section at top'. Press 'edit' under 'actions' in that new sectton and hit the 'enable' button next to 'filter lj-quick-comments', submit that, then 'add' a new URL pattern of .livejournal.com. The dot at the front is, I think, important.
Works for me, at least. No more 'quick comment' boxes. I'd rather have a switch somewhere in LJ to disable them, of course.
Please don't ask me to help you set up Privoxy. I probably don't even use the same machine you do, and I had it running a good while back for ad-blocking.
[ Next day: Here's an improved hack, to make 'quick reply' a new option after the normal 'reply to this' URL. Use this instead of 's/<a onclick='return quickreply\(.*\)' /<a /ig':
s/Reply to this/Reply to this<\/a>\) \(Quick reply/ig
You'll now have the (Reply to this) replaced by (Reply to this) (Quick reply), with the first link acting the old way.

Prison Break actor Wentworth Miller came out on Wednesday and criticized the Russian government for its anti-gay policies.
Miller, 41, had been invited to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival.
In a letter, he declined, saying "I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly."
The letter was posted on the website of advocacy organization GLAAD. Click here to read the full letter.
The law, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in June, outlaws "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" to children, threatening so-called offenders with prison sentences, hefty fines or, in the case of foreigners, deportation.
Advocates of gay rights are calling for the upcoming 2014 Winter Games to be relocated due to the law.
However, U.S. President Barack Obama and UK Prime Minister David Cameron have both ruled out a boycott because it would penalize the athletes who have trained for years to compete. The U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the Soviet boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles Games are widely viewed as failures.

DECISION Manager
Use DECISION Manager to take a fresh look at capturing and managing the business logic that drives the automated decisions in your business, from the minute you start discovering, gathering and formulating business requirements.
With our interactive modeling software and methodology, business users and analysts:
- Define high-level logic expressed as decisions in terms meaningful to the business.
- Decompose business logic into a more granular form to ensure that one piece of logic can be changed without affecting any other piece of logic.
- Normalize business logic to ensure that each piece of logic is used, stored and maintained in one place.
- Group business logic in a manner that ensures its re-usability across the enterprise.
- Connect business rule groups to their natural anchor points in business processes.
- Simplify business processes by removing declarative business logic from sequential processes.
- Verify model integrity and completeness, and test it against data to ensure it truly reflects operational business requirements.
- Map business glossary terminology used in business logic to specific IT system representations.
Visual Decision Model Workbench
The Visual Decision Model Workbench (VDMW) is the modeling environment used to create the decision models, rule families, flows and fact types. It is also the launch pad for the testing of the model.
The VDMW provides the modeler with every facility to traverse through the repository to reach any assets of interest through powerful linking and querying capabilities. It also has access to third-party tools integrated with Sapiens DECISION from within the model (to open process models from which the decision logic may be executed).
The environment provides extensive validation and guidance in modeling the logic, ensuring that no asset is submitted by the modeler for approval without being validated against the principles of The Decision Model (TDM). As a result, no models enter the repository with conflicts, gaps or inconsistencies in the logic.
The model repository is federated (divided up) into communities, so that the logic assets (the decisions, rule families, fact types, decision flows, etc.) can be separated into segments representing organizational elements. Each community – which can have its own default settings, access rights and user-access rights and groups – is structured in a hierarchical fashion, so that it can inherit from higher communities.
Within each community, there are folder structures to further organize the assets of the repository. Communities may be structured to model either the organizational or process structure of the enterprise, or both. The community schema enables users to manage logic across large enterprises without compromise.
- Translation of the decision models into executable code.
- Same business logic to execute consistently in different applications, with different data schemes.
Change Management and Traceability
Sapiens DECISION Manager provides comprehensive versioning for every asset under management – fact types, rule families, decisions and decision flows – because no asset can be placed into the repository without a change request. There are two aspects of every change request in the system:
- The external request (policy or regulatory change) into the system – called a Business Change Request (BCR) –may be for a minor change to a trivial piece of logic, or may encompass an entire program of change across the enterprise.
- The related internal change, or Business Change Document (BCD), assigns work arising from a BCR into one or more BCD tasks.
There can be multiple BCDs per BCR, and many BCD tasks per BCD. Every version is directly traceable to a BCD task, while every BCD task is traceable to a BCD. And every BCD is traceable to a BCR, which, in turn, is traceable to external change documents. Every asset in the repository is traceable to every other asset related to it, even at the version level. Navigating across the repository to related assets is made easy through the links embedded in every asset throughout the modeling environment.
Automatic Logic Validation
Governance and Control
DECISION Deployment Adapters
One of the most distinctive capabilities of Sapiens DECISION is its ability to transform the models in the repository into executable code in the form of fully deployable modules targeting specific execution environments. The transformation is performed by adapters, supporting a wide range of business rules and procedural languages, including IRL, Blaze, DRL and object-oriented languages, such as Java.
In addition, DECISION Deployment Adapters include a Software Development Kit (SDK) that enables users to develop their own adapters for languages that are not supported. The Sapiens DECISION Suite can be fully integrated into the development cycle, where the business logic within the business requirements may be authored, and then automatically generated directly into their target business systems. This feature dramatically reduces the time, cost and risk of developing business systems.
DECISION Execution
The Sapiens DECISION Execution (DE) server is a fully contained execution environment that can execute deployed decision models and decision flows modeled in Sapiens DECISION Manager (DM). Using built-in export adapters, DE converts data input from DM to business rules that can be applied throughout the enterprise, without the need for further rules engines.
DE is based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) enabled with both SOAP and RESTful web services to support flexible integration with various external application technologies. Any application that can perform SOAP or RESTful web service calls directly or via a service bus, can execute requests to obtain decision conclusions and messages. For Java-based external systems, DE can also be embedded as a Java component rather than a separate server for more flexible implementation options and even higher levels of performance.
Additional integration approaches to DE can also be supported via configuration as part of an implementation project allowing integration with almost any external system. In today's multi-channel multi rules engines environment a flexible, robust, powerful and fast execution engine is a key requirement for any enterprise wide process deployments.
DECISION InfoHub
Capitalize on the Big Data Opportunity
Today's enterprises are dependent upon effective and efficient data management. But data management tools are often too slow, costly and complex, not to mention their security weaknesses. Maintaining huge amounts of servers, disaster recovery and mass data breaches are just some of the headaches enterprises are experiencing. They seek a business-friendly data management platform that can handle Big Data workloads and increase efficiency, without discarding extensive current investments and knowledge bases.
DECISION InfoHub extends the Sapiens DECISION Suite's ability to change and manage decision assets seamlessly by transforming a user's business rule concept or idea to the decision model, while also ensuring the business logic can be changed with integrity and scalability from the most granular data level to the most complex operations, processes, or data management environment.
A unique distributed data management platform, DECISION InfoHub is the only solution on the market to combine the power of data management tools with SQL on fully distributed architectures, such as Cassandra.
DECISION InfoHub provides a virtual, business-friendly representation of information sources necessary to execute operational decisions. It efficiently collects, transforms and enriches data from heterogeneous, large and complex environments. DECISION InfoHub is an integral component of the Sapiens DECISION Suite because it manages all the information, data and integration capabilities necessary for enterprise Decision Management projects.
A complete suite of data management tools are provided to create a repository of logical entities. With Sapiens DECISION InfoHub, you can leverage your existing investments in data technologies by opting to still use full SQL and NoSQL together in one data management environment. With our solution, you can easily define migration paths, mask data for security reasons, or assign data to distributed targeted areas. With easy data implicit to the design, SQL capabilities are built-in with full support for all related tools and adapters.
Business Benefits
- Increased Processing Performance – DECISION InfoHub is proven to be thousands of times faster than current database technologies in multiple industries across disparate use cases.
- Unmatched Security – every piece of data is individually encrypted at all times, preventing mass data breaches.
- Significantly Reduced TCO – running on commodity servers reduces hardware costs. Data compression reduces the number of servers required.
- High Availability – the need for constant data movement and file transfers, which can cause downtime, is eliminated via commodity servers.
- Far Simpler Operations – eradicating pain-points such as backups, archiving and disaster recovery leads to hassle-free data administration.
- Seamless Integration – automated integration with the Sapiens DECISION glossary, synthesizing the business-friendly decision management environment in DECISION and the complex world of Big Data.
DECISION Analytics
As part of our roadmap, Sapiens DECISION plans to expand upon our existing capabilities by introducing a pre-integrated component called '"DECISION Analytics" to the Sapiens DECISION suite. Sapiens DECISION Analytics will apply advanced analytics to generate insights on the impact of the business logic on an application, system or set of systems. The advanced analytics and auditability capabilities enable clients to analyze business outcomes in the context of the decisions that underlie them. Users can automatically improve processes, adjust logic and recommend actions, which will drive digital insights and transformation.

Quote of the Day
"If you live a godly life, you will be persecuted. You can count on this. It is not a matter of if; it is a matter of when and how much."
~Greg Laurie (from "The Promise of Persecution")
Today's Answer
What Does it Mean to be Called?
Charles Stanley
You've probably heard the phrase "the call of God," but maybe you don't know exactly what it means. Is the Lord still calling people, or was that something He did only in Bible times? Does He speak only to a specific few or to everyone? Although He may not use an audible voice, He's still in the business of seeking followers.
Called to Salvation—Because sin has created a barrier between us and God, He first reaches out to establish a relationship with us by offering salvation through Christ.
Called to Sanctification—Once we have been reconciled to the Lord, He then calls us to sanctification or holiness. This means that He sets us apart for His purposes. It's not a perfect life, but one that is bent toward righteousness and obedience. Although this is an act of God that begins at the moment of salvation and continues until our physical death, it also requires a commitment from us. If we choose not to cooperate with the Lord in this process, our growth in Christlikeness will be hindered.
Called to Service—God has chosen to carry out His work in the world through those who are saved. He has determined the tasks He wants each of us to do; our job is to serve Him by accomplishing what He's planned for us.
How are you responding to the Lord's various calls? Remember that someday we will all stand before Him and give an account of our lives. Habitually saying no to His voice will result in loss, but those who have lived for Him instead of themselves will be richly rewarded.

Customers can turn up late, making the elite girl late for her next booking. A few young Pune Model Escort don't keep an extremely clean flat as well, and this is something that an agency has no power over.

Outcall private companions just need to turn up and engage their customer, at that point leave, so it's significantly simpler for them too obviously! It enables them to focus more on their customer's needs!
Customers Are Feel More Relaxed With Outcall Elite Girls
It's actual that customers are additionally significantly more casual in their own home, or if nothing else their own particular hotel. There's in no way like having the ability to sit tight for your outcall elite girl to arrive while you have a shower and slip into a decent comfortable robe, put on some music and pour some champagne. What's more, when a customer is more casual, it's frequently the case that the meeting girl is likewise more casual. Nerves act as a burden courteous fellows, we're certain you'll concur!

I have a hard time walking by one of those pretzel places at the mall. The smell alone is enough to stop me in my tracks. My favorite flavor is the pretzel with cinnamon sugar on it and the cream cheese frosting that comes on the side that you can dip your pretzel into – yum!
I decided to recreate the taste at home but instead of a pretzel I went with a cinnamon sugar breadstick with cream cheese drizzle. I like the yeasty softness of a breadstick over a pretzel although I love me a good pretzel too.
You start out with a nice batch of dough. Remember the trick to working with yeast is to make sure your water is the right temperature – not too hot and not too cold – just right. About 105-110 degrees is perfect. It needs to raise about 30-40 minutes. I speed up the process a bit by preheating my oven to 150 degrees and then turning it off. I place my covered bowl of dough into the oven and it loves that nice warm environment.
Roll the dough out into a 8 x 14 rectangle or there about.
I use my pizza cutter to cut the dough into about 8-10 even pieces, about 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 inches side.
Then roll them up like a snake.
I then drap it over my finger in the middle, it will unroll but having done that helps to twist it together easier.
Twist the breadstick together in half.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and allow them to rise for about another 40 minutes or until about double in size.
They are big! Bake them at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Brush them with some melted butter and give them a nice dusting of cinnamon sugar.
Mix up your cream cheese drizzle and put it into a ziploc bag and clip one of the corners off. Drizzle the cream cheese down the breadstick. The more the better!
Since the breadsticks aren't quite as sturdy as a pretzel, they are not as easy to dip and the drizzle worked better.

Story highlights
- Juan Garcia Masqueda says he has legally lived and worked in the US for 10 years
- He says he was held for 14 hours without access to legal counsel
(CNN)An Argentinian art gallery owner based in New York will miss the opening of his institution's newest show because he was denied entry to the United States.
Juan Garcia Mosqueda, founder and owner of Chamber gallery in New York City, claimed in an open letter that he was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport after returning from a visit to Argentina.
Mosqueda says he was held for 14 hours without access to legal counsel. He was allegedly ushered by armed officers onto a return flight to Buenos Aires later in the day.
"During the following fourteen excruciatingly painful hours, I was prohibited from the use of any means of communication and had no access to any of my belongings, which were ferociously examined without any warrant whatsoever," Mosqueda wrote in his letter. "I was deprived of food. I was frisked three times in order to go to the bathroom, where I had no privacy and was under the constant surveillance of an officer."
In a statement, US Customs and Border Protection said that while they wouldn't comment on individual cases because of the Privacy Act, "CBP not only protects U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents but also ensures the safety of international travelers who come to our country to visit, study and conduct legitimate business."
Chamber, located in New York's art gallery-filled Chelsea neighborhood, is described as a "21st century cabinet of curiosities for one-of-a-kind, rare and limited edition objects of design and art." Mosqueda, who was born in Argentina and educated in the United States, where he has lived for 10 years, opened the gallery in 2014.
"Although I am not an American citizen, Chamber is an American product that I hope adds to the cultural landscape of the country," Mosqueda wrote in his letter. "The gallery was conceived in alignment with the same idea of inclusion that was found in the streets of the Lower East Side (where I live and was denied access to) not so long ago: a melting pot of all nationalities and religions, importing ideas from abroad to a culturally embracing metropolis."
Mosqueda urged friends and supporters to visit the gallery's new show, entitled Domestic Appeal, and to encourage their elected officials to support immigration reform.
"Push for a system that does not alienate, intimidate, and bully foreigners but that, on the contrary, welcomes and encourages citizens from all countries to want to keep investing in and contributing to your wonderful country," he wrote in the letter.
In a statement provided to CNN following the public letter, Mosqueda said that he had received "tremendous support" from the design community and from others around the world.
"My reason for sharing my experience was to bring to light the situation currently facing immigrants from around the world and to encourage my American friends to contact your local congressmen and push for immigration reform," he said.

The Internationalism of Irish Literature and Drama
21.6 x 13.8 cm. x, 361 pp. 1992 Irish Literary Studies series (ISSN 0140-895X) volume 41
This volume is based on the seventh triennial conference of the International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature, held in July 1988 at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, Co.Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The international reputation and appeal of Irish literature are reflected in the fact that the contributors are from all corners of the world, North America, Europe, Scandinavia, Africa and India.
The collection reveals the extraordinary influence that Ireland has had on world literature, especially as a model for colonial and nationalist cultures. A host of Irish writers, particularly dramatists, has been translated and adapted in countries attracted to the individuality as well as the universality of their themes. Very often, the outsiders' insight into Irish literature shows a directness and sensitivity which are most illuminating and instructive.
A revelation of this collection is the way so many Irish writers have embraced, and been deeply influenced by, the culture of other nations: important new documentary work on writers such as Maria Edgeworth, W.B.Yeats, George Russell and Derek Mahon are to be found here.
The collection is both a celebration of a truly internationalised field of study, and a tribute to a literature which has successfully emigrated throughout the world. These essays will interest all those, students and scholars alike, who recognise the value of culture and literary pluralism, and the importance of comparative studies.
For over forty years IASAIL, now the Interantional Association for the Study of Irish Literatures (IASIL), has done pioneering work in this field. By now, it may be said, Ireland has taken its rightful place amongst the literatures of the world.
At the time of publication Joseph McMinn was Senior Lecturer in the English Department of the University of Ulster at Jordanstown, near Belfast. He has taught in American and Germany, and his publications include John Banville: A Critical Study, Jonathan Swift: A Literary Life and, as editor, Swift's Irish Pamphlets: An Introductory Selection, all three books being published in 1991. He is presently working on an illustrated documentary of Swift's travels around Ireland.
