Simple Caricature Website
Bajet $100-300 USD
I need a simple caricature website for which I have a clear idea of how it should look like. This needs to be done within the next two weeks.
-All writing and pictures will be provided. Will need
logo on top of website though.
-Clean and simple Website (about 12 pages) that is easy
to navigate. Pages will include Home, About (Sub
Contact), Order, Gallery (Sub various), Testimonials, and
-SEO Optimized for [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], [url removed, login to view], and
[url removed, login to view]
-Needs to integrate paypal cart (less than 6 products)
and paying though paypal's site.
-Viewable in IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera
-Fast Loading of website. No delays.
-Allow for users to upload a picture with the option to
upload more pictures (Will need IP of uploader)
-A small form in the "contact us" page that will send an
email to me.
-A small table for testimonials that will include name,
country, testimonial, picture, caricature.
I have a few other projects in mind, if this goes well I would want to continue to work with the same freelancer.
-Yes, uploading should be like an attachment tool but should show the picture on the webpage right away. I think carigslist has that. Also, with delete or clear function.
-Timeline is to have finished by end of next week or so. I will need a few more days to get all the images and I need to finish writing up everything. Meanwhile we could get started with designing look and paypal, etc.
- I would need a logo and company name on top of the page like a banner. Also, I need a "how it works" logo on the homepage something like http://www.netflix.com/HowItWorks?lnkctr=nmhhiw.
- About visual, I do like your site www.csa1.ca and your latest work www.masterfulspaces.com. Also I like the first impression of site like www.masterfulspaces.com and www.13dots.com. Basiclly, it should be white(ish) and have strong professional frist impression. Top logo, beneath that menu titles, then the write up with pictures, on side submenu if available, at bottom menu titles again. www.masterfulspaces.com comes very close to what I have in mind.

This glitzy starburst mirror adds a splash of glamour to any space. To make it, use a handsaw to cut the stir sticks to the desired lengths, then spray them using gold spray paint. Cut a circle from newspaper the desired size of your finished mirror. Place a small circular mirror facedown at its center. Use the newspaper pattern as a guide for edge alignment of the sticks. Adhere the longest sticks to "north-south-east-west" compass points using strong crafts glue. Fill in the remaining spokes, leaving room for the wall hanger.

Snarky 8-Year-Old Girls Make Me Question My Parenting Prowess
"I'm going to go talk to those girls."
I'd heard that bold statement a countless number of times. Every time we went to the bar in college, someone from our group would utter those 8 ½ words.
I was just a little shocked it came out of the mouth of my 3-year-old son.
We were in a suite at AT&T Stadium, watching Baylor play Texas Tech. The game was well into the second half when my son turned his attention from the action on the field to a couple of 8-year-old girls. They were playing underneath a table at the back of the suite. I really hadn't noticed them until The Boy tugged at my shirttail to get my attention and layout his plan of attack.
The only response I could muster was: "Sounds good, buddy."
Even though I was at a loss for words, I was over-the-top intrigued. So, I watched my son – who is usually awkwardly shy – from across the room. He puffed out his little chest and walked towards the girls with a slight strut and goofy grin.
He looked back with an "I'm really going to do this" smirk. I just smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
I don't think he actually said anything to the two girls when he approached them, he just jumped head first into their 8-year-old world.
The outcome also reminded me of trips to the bar in college; those girls were unimpressed and wanted nothing to do with my boy. I totally understood. They were too busy being 8 years old. I heard one of the girls ask the other one, "Do you want to go play somewhere else?"
I had to save my boy. (Again…it was the college bar scene all over again.)
"Is he bothering you guys," I asked one of the girls with a smile as I walked up.
"Yes!" Her voice was snarky and rude.
"All you have to do is tell him that you're not interested in playing with him right now or find him another activity. I do it all the time."
My humor was lost on these two girls. They had their faces buried in their handheld gaming consoles.
Little Miss Snarky looked up at Crash and said, "We don't want to play with you!"
I just ignored her cheeky tone and turned my attention to Crash. "Come on, buddy – they don't want to play. Let's go watch the football game…"
One of the 8 year olds looked up from her GameBoy and hissed and screamed something that I didn't understand. I blinked slowly and turned my gaze towards her. I ran my index finger intentionally down my face – from my forehead to my chin.
"Are you talking to me?"
"No! I'm talking to HIM!"
"Oh…MY son?"
She looked back down at her GameBoy. (Confession: I thought to myself, "If you're playing Tetris…I. Would. Crush. You.")
Unlike my college buddies, Crash was un-phased by the rejection and the girls' rudeness. Not me. But I tried to be the bigger person. (I know… I know … because I was the bigger person. Blah!)
So I grabbed Crash's hand and we started walking away.
Little Miss GameBoy stopped me before I took my second step. She turned her handheld device around and said, "Look what I did?"
I raised my eyebrows, smiled sarcastically and said in a barely-audile whisper, "I don't care."
– – –
So why in the world did I feel inclined to share this quasi-embarrassing narrative?
Answer: Because I can't stop thinking about it. Since we walked away from Little Miss Snarky and Little Miss GameBoy, I've been consumed with pressing issues about daddyhood and raising a child.

From Amazon to Wordpress: Creating your eCommerce Site
At 3:25pm on 4/22/2017, I attended From Amazon to WordPress: Creating your eCommerce Site, presented by Sharon Dawson, at the 2017 Wordcamp Conference in Raleigh, NC
From Amazon to WordPress: Creating your eCommerce Site
Promoting your physical products on Shopify, Etsy, or Amazon can be convenient, but expensive since those sites take a cut of your profits. By switching to WordPress to promote your products, you can drive more customers to your brand and keep more of your profits.
The basics of setting up eCommerce on your WordPress site
Page 2 of google is where they hide the dead bodies. People hate ecommerce website because they drop their shopping cart due to unreachable customer service. 22% of shopping cart abandonments are due to forcing customers to create an account. If people cannot sort or filter their results, they will leave to find one which can. A search should be able to used and products found. $2% of users do not trust poorly designed sites. If your website store is not mobile friendly, you're losing 25% of your customers.
The customer is always CHEAP. think about your shipping costs, coupon codes, and stacking promotions. Think about the product you have. There are plenty of other vendors. Turn off the stackable promotion vs. sales. Slickdeals.com was burning them in the past with codes.
So how do you sell lip balm? burts bees shipped a $3.30 lip balm for $5. An $8 chapstick?
A picture is worth 1,000 words? A picture is worth nothing if its wrong. Picture matches description and title. Correct color, flavor, type. Size, special packaging. Lots of low reviews occur if you see a wrong picture with what you receive.
The eCommerce Golden Rule: Do unto others as Amazon has done unto others. If theexact same product is being sold on amazon for less, well, good luck. Can you offers discounts?
Things to consider when setting up a new eCommerce store
eCommerce basics:
- Make sure its obvious its ecommerce,
- Well designed product pages,
- Logical easy to use checkout flow
- 310 redirects when a product no longer available
- FAQ page relating to eCommerce, not just company or products
- Standard pages in footer
- Terms of Use
- Privacy Policy
- Shipping Policy
- Returns Policy
Product Pages
- appealing images
- product description not duplicate
- if multiple colors/flavors/size, drop down or separate options on the page that carries over to the payment engive
- size or quanity in container clearly listed
- reviews
Things to consider when setting up a new eCommerce store
APpealing images
Popular themes to use to quickly make an attractive online store: Woo Commerce Plugins
- Woocommerce Subscriptions. Accepts weekly, monthly annual payments
- Table Rate Shipping
- Stripe payment gateway
- WooCommerce Mailchimp
- WooCommerce Currency Switcher
- Products slider
- PDF Invoices
They give about 20% more completions, but only if the offer is better than anything on the page. FOMO ( Fear of missing out- only a few left, only __ time less, get it before the end of the month). Split testing.
How to promote your site to existing customers from Shopify, Etsy, or Amazon
Cant beat em? Join em! Introduce your products via Amazon. Put a deal in the package, for YOUR website. Follow up email with a deal. Then ask for a review on Amazon. This will strengthen your response on Amazon, but offer them your website.
"If you had anything less than a 5-star experience, please contact us at –@— and we'll make it right."
Creating feeds for Google shopping
Google product feed through woocommerce. Feeds into google merchant center. This one will lead the google feed into your results.

I've decided to start a last minute ambitiously sized gift. I can't show it here, so there'll be quiet for a bit while I work on it. I may try and get photos of the progress I've made on other things like Bug Collector in the meantime, but I won't be doing much work on anything but the gift and my UFO.
Here's hoping I get it finished.

When a loved one leaves home early in the morning, we don't expect to never see them again. However, when unexpected tragedy strikes and robs you of your loved ones, nothing else in the world hurts more. In an instant, the father, the mother, or child you have raised is gone. You want and deserve answers, and if necessary you want justice.
At Penney and Associates, we understand how difficult a death in the family can be, and we want to help you through the process of filing a wrongful death claim. Whether the loss of a loved one is the result of an accident, or the result of criminal actions or neglect, a skilled attorney is one of the best allies you can have at your side.
A wrongful death is when person dies as a result of a wrongful act, or is the result of negligence either by an individual or entity. The surviving family of the victim, a spouse, domestic partner, or any related children, can file a wrongful death lawsuit in California. Financial dependents of the deceased, including their parents or any stepchildren, are also able to file the claim.
If there is no surviving family, anyone who would be entitled to the property of the deceased are able to file the claim. These claims allow a bereaved family to win compensation based on the financial losses resulting from the death of their loved ones.
Depending on the circumstances, a wrongful death claim can be complex to file. Without an experienced attorney, you could fail to win fair compensation for your loss.
The death of your loved one could potentially leave your family without a vital source of income. Then there are the wide range of expenses associated with the incident. The cost of burial, of replacing a totaled automobile, and the costs of moving to a new home are just a small sampling of the financial difficulties you could be experiencing.
Then there are the less obvious costs of such tragedies, the emotional distress you experience day after day. The loss of a life-long companion, a brother, a son or daughter can leave scars that cannot be seen, robbing you of the zest for life. As with property and financial losses, the emotional and physical suffering in the wake can remain a burden for years after the incident.
Penney and Associates has the experience to provide the legal assistance you need after a devastating loss in the family. We can help you file your wrongful death claims, and know how to work with our clients to bring about a favorable result. Whether you are seeking an out of court settlement, or want to bring your claim to trial, our team knows what it takes to succeed.
Fulfilling all five of these requirements while building a legal case is not an easy thing. To ensure the best possible chance of winning your case after an accident, it's necessary to have the expertise of an experienced attorney on your side. The lawyers of Penney & Associates can help you win your case and receive the financial compensation you need to recuperate and rebuild your life.
The personal injury lawyers at Penney and Associates® have over 100 years of combined experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases. Most of our lawyers have over 20 years experience in personal injury. Our personal injury firm is well established and has offices throughout California.
California's statute of limitations allows wrongful death claims to be filed within 2 years of the victim's passing. This time limit is why it is important to file your wrongful death claim as soon as possible. However, it is just as important to have gathered all the facts surrounding the incident.
Penney and Associates attorneys will ensure that before you file your wrongful death claim, you have all the information possible, fully organized and ready for trial. Depending on the case, it can take weeks or months for a wrongful death claim to reach a conclusion. Our attorneys will work with you to ensure that no matter how long the case goes on, you have the best chance of winning compensation.
In the wake of losing a loved one, it can be difficult to seek out an attorney for legal advice. At Penney and Associates, we want to make this process as effortless as possible. You can contact us through our website, by email, or over the phone, and set up a free legal consultation. One of our attorneys will be more than happy to meet with you to discuss the nature of your wrongful death claim. From claiming financial damages, or emotional pain and suffering, we can walk you through every step of the process.
An unexpected death in the family can be devastating, emotionally and financially. Contact Penney and Associates today, and let us help you through this challenging time.
*Please remember that this information will be kept 100% confidential. No information will be submitted or released to any individual or business except Penney and Associates and its affiliates. Please be aware, however, that the firm does not accept all matters referred to it, and that no attorney-client relationship will be created simply because a message was sent to us. "Pay Nothing unless we collect" only applies to personal injury cases.

1. Pet Exchange
Yes, it's true. People exchange their home, their car, and sometimes their pet. Taking care of somebody's pet can be a challenge but also a very rewarding experience. Does the pet have any special requirements, does it get along well with kids, do you need to take it for daily walks, etc.? Always ask for the name and contact information of the local veterinarian.
2. Boarding Kennel
When pet owners go on vacation, kennels are a traditional choice of pet care. The average pet owner boards their dog about four times a year. To select one, ask friends or a veterinarian for kennel recommendations and then visit a few personally. Use your own animal instincts to determine the best one: is it clean, is the staff friendly, do the boarded animals appear safe and happy? Some kennels even have web cams; it's fun to watch your pet online and you'll feel good knowing it is safe and happy. Check with your city or county to ensure that the kennel is licensed and registered.
3. Take Your Pet with You
In one-third of households surveyed, dogs go along on family vacations, whereas 11% bring their cat. Our Members note on their home's Listing if pets are allowed to visit their home. If your home exchange partner has marked Pets Allowed then you can consider the idea of taking Fido with you. But it's still a good idea to e-mail your home swap partner with pertinent details about your pet: breed, weight, age, etc. If they confirm that you and your pet can vacation in their home then let the pet travel research begin! Always ask if other pets live in the home. You want to ensure that peace reigns in the animal kingdom.
4. Your Pet Stays at the Home of a Friend or Pet-Sitter
Family, relatives or friends can come to your aid when planning a vacation. Be sure to discuss your pet's routine with your friends: eating, sleeping, exercise, location of pet bed etc.
Any time you leave your pet with someone else ensure that the caregivers have the name and contact information of your veterinarian, including a map of how to get there. Alert your vet about your travel plans and ask what documentation is needed to care for (Spot or Fluffy) in case of an emergency while you're away. My vet keeps my credit card information on file and the cell phone numbers of both my husband and me. Provide the caregiver with your pet's typical food, water bowl, a few pet toys, and leash. Your pet will feel more at home with familiar items.

Have you seen "House of Cards" lately? If you have, you might have been intrigued by the exercise machine that Frank Underwood had been venting out his frustrations on when his political schemes didn't turn out as planned.
The WaterRower Oxbridge may have been around for quite a while now, but this beautiful piece of exercise equipment has gained a rise in popularity thanks to Netflix's award-winning political drama.
Kevin Spacey playing the duplicitous representative from South Carolina has become the world's most popular rower, and has encouraged the rise of a new generation of rowing enthusiasts who are only starting to realize the benefits of exercising on the ergometer (that's another name for indoor rower).
If Mr. Spacey had you sold, then you're probably here because you're seriously considering a WaterRower Oxbridge for your home. You've come to the right place.
In this review, we're going to take the most comprehensive look at this rowing machine to help you understand if you'll get your money's worth. The WaterRower Oxbridge is no cheap piece of equipment, so it's important that you know exactly what you're getting before you take out some cash.
First, we're going to look at cherry wood, the material that's used to build the rowing machine, and whether it is a durable wood for an exercise machine. We're also going to discuss resistance on the WaterRower Oxbridge and how to adjust intensity levels. At the end of this review, you'll hopefully gain more understanding about the common myths and misconceptions about water resistance.
We will also talk about design elements and ergonomic details. For instance, is the seat strong, sturdy, and comfortable? Does it glide smoothly enough, and does it glide on a flat rail or an inclined rail? Are the handles and footpads comfortable enough? You'll find that, often, these are the questions whose answers you need to know to make or break a deal.
Lastly, we're also going to discuss your buying options and the best places to find great deals and discounts on the WaterRower Oxbridge. It's not a product that most people can buy at a whim, so it's always best if you can find good discounts for this machine.

If you'd like to skip ahead to the more specific sections of this review, you can also check out the Table of Contents below and click the link to the particular part that you are interested in. Otherwise, let's go ahead full steam with this review.
In a Nutshell...
What We Like:
- Very durable and high-quality
- Made from fine-grained, fungi-resistant cherry wood with a smooth, silky texture
- Smooth, quiet, self-regulated resistance
- Zen-like experience with sounds of water splashing
- Can accommodate up to 700 lbs. in user weight
- Steady, stable seat with comfortable padding
- Small footprint, will fit in smaller homes
- Fairly easy to assemble, very easy to store and maintain
- Excellent customer service
- Handmade in the United States
What We Don't Like
- Backward-tilted seat could put too much pressure on lower back
- Foot rests feel cheap and plasticky
WaterRower Oxbridge in Cherry Wood
The WaterRower Oxbridge is one of WaterRower's designer wood models. In most aspects, it is essentially similar to the WaterRower Natural and the WaterRower Club. The main difference, however, is that the WaterRower Oxbridge is made from the premium hardwood cherry wood.
Cherry wood is most distinguished by its color, which ranges from a deep red to rich brown with reddish hints. If left alone in a sunlit area, the wood will develop a dark red patina over time, a characteristic that makes it more expensive than other types of wood. The grains are extremely fine and straight, giving it a smooth, silky texture that adds to the luxury of this wood.
WaterRower also chose cherry wood for this model because of its ability to absorb noise and vibration. Wood, especially cherry wood, is far more able to absorb all kinds of sounds and vibrations than metal ever will be. It is also pliable and flexible, making it easy to work with, yet highly resistant to fungi and insects, so you can be sure that your WaterRower Oxbridge will last a good, long time.
On top of the wood are three coats of Danish oil, a wood finish that gives the machine a natural, light sheen. The finish also gives an extra layer of protection, making the rower resistant against dirt and water, yet allowing it to "breathe" to prevent the growth of mold inside.
But don't take our word for it. If you take a quick look at some Craigslist listings, you'll find some secondhand WaterRowers being sold by owners who had them since the 1990s! If cared for really well, a brand new WaterRower Oxbridge will surely last for years and even decades to come.
The level of quality is not that surprising, really. The WaterRower Oxbridge and all other WaterRower models are some of the very few exercise machines sourced and manufactured in the United States. The cherry wood is harvested from sustainable forests in the Appalachian region, which is really nice to know that the company isn't taking down forests just to make money off them.
And the machines themselves are hand-built and crafted by people who have been doing it for many years in WaterRower's facilities in Warren, a small river-side town in Rhode Island.
The durability of the material, coupled with the exacting eye for detail of the machine's hand-crafters, gives the WaterRower Oxbridge maximum strength to carry up to 700 lbs. in user weight. It's the strongest indoor rower we've seen. Even the Concept2 Model D can only carry up to 500 lbs. (350 lbs. in other circles, so be careful when you're around that weight and shopping around for a rower).
WaterRower Oxbridge Water Resistance
Like all of the models in the WaterRower line, the WaterRower Oxbridge uses water resistance to increase or decrease the difficulty level of your exercise. The water is enclosed in a polycarbonate clamshell tank to provide you smooth, quiet, self-regulated resistance.
We say self-regulated because you set your own resistance with your own power. There are no levers to pull or settings to adjust on this rowing machine. Contrary to popular belief, you can't change the resistance levels by changing the water levels.
Instead, you simply increase or decrease resistance by increasing or decreasing your own power. It's similar to rowing in real water. When you row harder and faster, resistance increases. And when you slacken your pace and row slower, resistance decreases.
The resistance comes from the inertia of the water as you pull the handle and move the blades. The more force you exert, the faster the water moves around the spinning paddles, and the higher the intensity becomes.
Now, as for the common but nonetheless inaccurate piece of knowledge that you can change resistance by filling or draining the water tank… it's simply not true. You can't change the levels of intensity by changing the levels of water. Besides, it would have been extremely inconvenient for you to be pumping water in and out of the tank every time another user with a different fitness level uses the WaterRower Oxbridge.
Water level doesn't indicate resistance level. What it does indicate, however, is what would have been the weight of your boat and crew had you been rowing on a boat in the great outdoors.
If the water level is low, it's just like you're rowing on a narrow racing shell. It's sleek, narrow, and will require you to make a lot of easy strokes to move the boat forward. If water level is high, it's like you're rowing a huge, bulky barge. It's heavy, massive, and if you want to move it forward, you'll need all the power you can recruit from your muscles (and perhaps from the muscles of your crew).
One common mistake we find beginners making is filling their WaterRower tanks up to the maximum level of 19 liters. They think they can get the best workout from that. What most people don't know is rowing with the highest water level (similar to rowing on the highest damper setting for the Concept2 rowers) will stress out your muscles too early into your workout. And when that happens, you get tired too soon that you don't even get to enjoy the cardio benefits of indoor rowing anymore.
When filling you water tank, be sure not to go over level 19. It's not good for your muscles, and it's not good for the tank as well. Experts recommend that you start at a low level of of 15 to 17 liters, and then work your way up to 19 liters once you feel your muscles get stronger.
If you still don't feel any resistance, the problem could be more with your technique than anything else. Even long-time exercisers who are new to rowing may think they're not getting enough of a workout from the WaterRower Oxbridge, only to find out later they've been doing it wrong.
One of the major components of the exercise is your leg work. Your legs have the biggest muscles in your body and must provide 60% of power during the drive to help you feel like you're actually working instead of just sitting there. The remaining 40% of power are recruited from the core and arms, which share the load equally.
You might want to check your drive-to-recovery ratio as well. The ideal is a ratio of 1:2, meaning your recovery takes two times as much time as your drive. This allows you to drive back with as much power from your legs, while giving you more time to rest at the recovery. (You know it's called recovery when it gives you time to actually, um, recover.)
Lastly, stay in touch with your split time. On the WaterRower's S4 monitor, this is called intensity and is shown in minutes/500 meters. If your split time is low, it means you're rowing a distance of 500 meters at less time. You're working more since you're overcoming more drag as you go. And the more work you do, the faster you row. And the faster you row, the lower your split time goes.
WaterRower Oxbridge Comfort and Ergonomics
The seat of the WaterRower sits on top of the flat, wooden dual rails, which are better on the knees. Some rowers have inclined rails, like the Stamina Avari. This gives the legs an even more taxing workout than a flat-rail rower, but it can be too much on the knees for older people or people with injuries.
The rails are lengthy enough for most people. To check if your legs are going to comfortably fit on the rails, measure the length of your legs from the crotch of your pants to your feet. This is called the inseam measurement and it should be no more than 37 inches for you to fit on the WaterRower Oxbridge. If your inseam is longer, WaterRower offers an XL rail accessory, which gives you an extra 4 inches to work with.
On top of the rails is the sturdy, stable seat, which has four ball bearings, so you don't feel any wobbling as it moves along the plastic-covered rails smoothly and quietly. The seat is also padded for protection, certainly more comfortable for your tush than the hard seat of the Concept2. If you're still having problems with seat comfort, however, WaterRower offers a seat pad designed especially for its indoor rowers.
One possible issue you may have to contend with, however, is that the seat on the WaterRower Oxbridge is slightly tilted backwards. This means, it will be easier for you to hinge from the hips at the release, but you will have to do a little bit more work when you pivot forward at the recovery and the catch.
Now, while this won't be an issue with most people, you'll have to pay close attention if you have lower back problems, or if you're prone to having them. The slight backward tilt of the seat could put too much pressure on your lower back, making it too hard for you just to stay upright.
Also, the low placement of the seat could be another source of problems for people with mobility issues. The low center of gravity does contribute to the rower's stability, but because the rail is just a foot off the floor, people with bad knees, for instance, or people on wheelchairs, will have a hard time getting on and off the rower.
If that's not going to derail you from buying a WaterRower Oxbridge, however, you might want to consider the HiRise attachment. It's a leg extender that raises that seat of the rower by 8 inches, bumping the height up to 20 inches. This is around the same height as a regular chair, eliminating possible mobility problems.
WaterRower Oxbridge Design
One thing that has always proven to be a winner is the high-strength nylon strap of the WaterRower. Unlike the Concept2, which uses a nickel-plated metal chain, the WaterRower produces a smooth and quiet pull thanks to its nylon strap.
Some users have reported noticing a little bit of slip in the strap, but only when you pull very, very slowly. That means it's not very likely that you're ever going to be bothered by this slight slip in the strap, since you'll want to be pulling harder to get a good level of exercise. The strap is connected to a pair of oblong-shaped handles covered in soft-touch material that encourages a good, loose grip and prevent blisters.
The nylon strap also contributes to the overall quietness of the machine. Since there are no metal chains sawing loudly over metal cogs, you're free to relax and enjoy the Zen-like experience of hearing nothing else but the meditative sounds of water splashing inside the tank.
If you're not a fan of New Age-y concepts like that, though, you can always watch TV or listen to a podcast or music on your smartphone while you exercise on the WaterRower Oxbridge.
The lack of noise it makes definitely makes it one of the best indoor rowers for the home. It also has a small footprint, requiring around only 7 ft. x 2 ft. of space when in use. Mr. Underwood's rowing machine is especially a great choice if you live in an apartment and wouldn't like to bother your neighbors with the sound of you exercising, or if you live with someone who doesn't tolerate a lot of noise.
However, one thing we think WaterRower needs to pay attention to is the foot strap system of its rowing machine. All in all, the footboard seems sturdy enough to last as long as the rest of the frame, but it doesn't provide the same amount of comfort and the same luxury feeling as the rest of the machine.
The foot rests feel a bit cheap and plasticky, and you'll do well to wear shoes while you row. Rowing barefoot isn't an option here, unless you want to develop ugly blisters on your heels since they'll be rubbing up against the hard heel rests. Thankfully, it's much easier to adjust the foot rests to the size of your feet. There's a button you push that allows you to move the heel rests up and down until you're comfortable where they are.
One more thing about the footboard. The footrests are placed close to each other. It's not going to be an issue for most people, but we could imagine a few people trying to row with slightly bowlegged knees on the WaterRower and banging their knees against each other. You do have different options if you want wider foot rests, but the WaterRower Oxbridge won't probably be one of them.
WaterRower Oxbridge S4 Monitor
Some find the S4 Monitor on the WaterRower Oxbridge quite a deal-breaker. There are really no advanced features such as force curve display or Bluetooth connectivity to lure the high-tech, top-performing athlete crowd around the WaterRower.
However, most people do find the S4 Monitor as more than adequate for their needs. The mounted rowing computer measures all the most important metrics, including your speed (or, more accurately, split time), number of strokes per minute, total distance rowed, total time rowed, and an option to measure your heart rate.
If you would like to take advantage of this last feature, you'll need to have your own wireless heart rate monitoring system with a chest strap. You can check out the various options on Amazon for that. WaterRower sells its own heart rate monitors: one which uses Polar and another which uses the more advanced technology ANT+. (Your heart rate monitor will have to be compatible with either Polar or ANT+ so you can use it with the WaterRower Oxbridge).
Take note that the S4 monitor doesn't count your calories. It does have an average Kcal display, but that is different from your number of calories burned. You can take the average Kcal number and convert it to total calories using an online calculator, or you can simply forget about it, since, as we discussed in this article, the calorie count doesn't matter very much anyway.
One nice thing about the S4 monitor is the Zone Bar, a feature that allows you to keep track of whether you are in a certain Zone of intensity or not. For example, you can program the Zone Bar to keep you at a target heart rate of 70% your resting rate. The Zone Bar will monitor your heart rate measurements to ensure that you're within that desired intensity. It also works with other settings, including split time and stroke rate.
The S4 monitor also allows you to do duration workouts, distance workouts, and even interval workouts. You can set the desired duration or distance you want to row, and the monitor will let you know when you're done. There are no pre-programmed workouts on the S4 monitor, which could be a setback if you're just starting out and have no idea what to do during your workouts. Once you're a little well-versed and you have a few favorite workouts up your sleeve, you can program nine of them into the monitor.
Another possible problem is the lack of room for individual user profiles. This means you only get to save one profile on the S4 monitor, which is unacceptable for families sharing a rowing machine.
You can transfer your rowing stats to your PC or Mac, though, but you'll still have to sort them out by user if there are more than one of you using the machine. The WaterRower Oxbridge comes with a USB cable so you can connect the monitor to a computer. After that, transferring becomes quite a breeze.
It should be here that we mention that this is where the S4 monitor ends in terms of connectivity. There are zero options if you want wireless transmission of your data, or if you want the monitor to sync with an app on your smartphone. We imagine it will be a long time before WaterRower starts making its monitor compatible with fitness bands such as the Fitbit Blaze or the Apple Watch (You can check them out on Amazon here and here).
But people who use fitness trackers are still few and far between, and most people are not really obsessed about getting hold of their exercise stats down to the last decimal. For most people, the goal is to get a whopping good cardio and strength workout, and that's what you're going to get from the WaterRower Oxbridge.
Some other minor details we decided to nitpick about. The screen doesn't have a backlight. What electronic gadget with a screen doesn't have a backlight in this day and age? Well, the S4 monitor, apparently. But, again, this is like the fitness band issue, which is, at this stage, essentially a non-issue for most people.
Lastly, if you're looking about for a good racing software, there aren't a lot of options right now. WaterRower is developing its own software called We-Row, which it promises to provide training with real-time stats and online races with other users. It is also working on WaterCoach F.I.T., which is in beta right now. If you don't mind testing out laggy, buggy virtual racing software, you can check out WaterCoach F.I.T. and sign up to become a tester.
So far, the best racing software we've found for the WaterRower Oxbridge is Netathlon. Netathlon is a third-party software that provides pretty graphics and allows you to join races with other people. You can also compete against yourself, if that's your kind of thing. The biggest downside to Netathlon is that it costs another $270, which goes on top of your WaterRower purchase.

WaterRower Oxbridge Assembly
Unlike other types of exercise equipment, the WaterRower Oxbridge is pretty easy to assemble. Even people with little experience putting together machines will have a fairly easy time assembling this exercise machine. If you've ever assembled furniture from Ikea before, you'll go through this in a breeze. All of the major components are pre-drilled and pre-assembled. You only need to put them together and fill the tank with water.
The WaterRower Oxbridge ships in two boxes, both totaling in 86 lbs. of weight. If you're not strong enough to lift, you might need the help of someone else to take the boxes inside. Afterwards, it's easy to do everything by yourself. You also won't need to take out tools from the garage since your shipment comes with a 5mm allen wrench and all the appropriate screws, the only thing you need to put the machine together.
A note on screws before starting: Make sure no nuts and bolts or small metal pieces have fallen into the polycarbonate tank. Although polycarbonate is one of the toughest kinds of plastic out there, it is still plastic, and metal nuts and bolts can cause scratches in it. There's little risk of that with that WaterRower's packaging, but better safe than sorry.
If you do find scratches or dents anywhere, contact customer support right away. The company's customer service department is well-known for its excellent performance, and you'll have no problems dealing with them.
That said, you probably won't need to contact them so soon. Assembling the WaterRower Oxbridge is very easy, and you have clear, detailed instructions with pictures that go with them.
You'll first need to put the rails together, then place the seat on top of them. Next, position the tank in front of the rails, followed by the smaller pieces: the footboard, the footpad, and the wheels in front of the unit. You'll then have to pull the machine upright so you can hook the recoil belt to the bungee, then put it back down so you can fill the tank with water.
Remember, when you put the pieces together, it's a good thing not to turn the screws fully into place. Keep them loose for a while so you can properly align all the pieces together. When you're sure everything is in its exact place, use the allen wrench to tighten the bolts fully but not too much. Over-tightening could damage the wooden pieces and could lead to a void warranty if you're not careful.
The last thing you need to do is to fill the tank with water. This is where it gets a just a tiny bit unwieldy because you have to take a bucket, fill it with water, and place it on top of the machine. Using the plastic siphon that WaterRower provides, you'll have to pump water out of the bucket into the tank and wait for gravity to do the rest.
WaterRower recommends using municipal water for your rower. Municipal water has antifungal and anti-algal treatments that help keep your water looking clean and clear for a long time, so you don't have to fill or drain the tank every so often. WaterRower also provides purification tablets to aid in this process.
WaterRower Oxbridge Maintenance
Keeping your WaterRower Oxbridge in good condition is simple and easy. There are a few things you need to remember regularly but not often so that you don't run into problems in the future.
One of these is making sure the water inside the tank is clear and mold-free. You don't have to replace the water every day, or even every week, or every month. WaterRower provides purification tablets to make sure the water looks clear all the time. You need to drop one or two of these tablets every six to 12 months, depending on how the water looks to you. A WaterRower that's exposed to more sunlight will need to be purified more often.
Make sure you use only the purification tablets you get from WaterRower and not ordinary chlorine tablets you use for your swimming pool. You don't know what's in your pool chlorine, and you don't want to risk damaging your tank by using it for your WaterRower.
The next thing you need to do is to wipe down your WaterRower to prevent dust and dirt from gathering on the seat and rails. You'll need nothing more than a soft cloth for this, and the cleaning time depends on you. You can wipe the machine after every use for optimal maintenance, or you can do so every week. Make sure the rails and the seat rollers get a good cleaning, since they are most exposed and most prone to damage.
Every few months or so, you can also check the inner components, such as the clutch and drive belt, to see if they need cleaning. To get dust off these parts, you'll have to take out the vacuum cleaner.
By all means, avoid using ammonia-based cleaners for all parts of your machine. Also avoid bleach, chlorates, and methylated spirits such as alcohol to clean your rower. All of these contain chemicals that are damaging to wood.
To take care of the wood, you might also want to give it a few coats of Danish oil at least once a year. Over time, your WaterRower Oxbridge will develop a lovely dark red patina if exposed to light, and you might not want to do anything with it. If you're meticulous, however, a little bit of oiling will give a natural, low sheen and will add some protection for the aging cherry wood.
If you've only received your rower, though, you might find that the wood is only starting to adjust to the sunlight and humidity levels where you live. That's fine and perfectly natural. One way to find this out is if you hear some creaking or squeaking in certain parts of the rower. Often, it's not a sign of poor craftsmanship, but one that the wood is still adjusting and you might need to readjust some nuts and bolts.
You might also need to check the bungee cord and retighten it. You'll know you have to do this when the handle no longer goes all the way back to the front of the rower. You'll have to pull the machine upright and move the buckle on the bungee cord to do this. Then put the machine back down and see if the handle goes all the way.
Lastly, if you have wood floors, you might want to use some extra protection. While the WaterRower Oxbridge is stable and won't skid across your floors, it's always best to be cautious and use a mat underneath. We recommend the Supermats Solid PVC Mat, which you can check out on Amazon right here.
WaterRower Oxbridge Storage
The WaterRower leaves a small footprint, whether in use or when stored. Putting this away will not be much of a problem, even if you live in a small place. You also won't need to dis-assemble the machine to put it in place.
To store the WaterRower Oxbridge, simply pull it upright by the rear and roll it forward or backward on its front wheels. Weight won't be much of a problem here, even though the machine weighs 103 lbs. with water, since you're pulling by the rear and creating a long lever. The front wheels also make it easy to move around.
Once stored, the machine won't take up much of room. Standing upright, it measures 7 feet high and 2 feet wide. In other words, it'll take up only as much space as a regular dining chair.
If you're lazy and you have some space for it in your living room or home office, you won't even have to put the WaterRower away. You can just let it stay there since it blends so well with the rest of your furniture. Some people won't even think it's an exercise machine at all!
WaterRower Oxbridge Buying Options
Before you purchase a WaterRower Oxbridge, we recommend that you check it out personally for yourself. The best way to do this is to go to your nearest fitness center and check out their rowing machines. Most gyms have their own indoor rowers, which is hugely thanks to Mr. Underwood making them so popular again.
You can also check out WaterRower's rental service, which charges you around $40 for a month of renting a WaterRower Oxbridge. Truth be told, we don't really recommend renting a WaterRower to test it if you're serious about owning one yourself. It's more of a hassle to go through the paperwork than check out the machine at the gym for around the same price as the rental fee.
Often, Amazon offers the best prices for exercise machines, not to mention the reliability of buying from there. If you buy from Amazon, you'll get a 1-year warranty for your WaterRower Oxbridge. However, if you register your purchase with WaterRower within the first year, the warranty will be upgraded to five years for the frame and three years for the components.
The Verdict: Is the WaterRower Oxbridge Right for You?
The WaterRower Oxbridge is a great rowing machine that fits the needs and preferences of many people. The handcrafted wooden frame and the water tank is a unique combination that makes exercising on this indoor rower a different kind of experience. The quality is superb and is matched by the excellent customer service that you get with your purchase.
If you live in a small apartment, or if you live with other people who cannot tolerate the noise coming from a conventional exercise machine made of metal, the WaterRower Oxbridge – or any of the WaterRower wooden models for that matter – is exactly what you're looking for. No other exercise machine can provide a great full-body workout without making it seem like you're on an exercise machine.
Even people with joint problems or people with injuries will benefit greatly from this machine, since the exercise you get provides practically zero impact on your joints. However, if you have lower back issues or you think you may have a weak back, the design of the WaterRower's rail may make it more difficult for you and could even possibly increase the chances of an injury.
If you have concerns about your lower back, we recommend checking with your health care provider to see if it's okay to use the WaterRower Oxbridge.
The S4 monitor is also a good addition to an otherwise already exceptional exercise machine. It helps you track, evaluate, and improve your performance so you can get the most out of the rower as you become stronger and fitter. Admittedly, it doesn't have the bells and whistles of the Concept2 PM5, but a lot of people will certainly find the S4 monitor more than enough for their needs.
All in all, the WaterRower Oxbridge is one of the best investments you can make for a healthier life. You won't regret buying this rowing machine, and if some room for remorse ever opens up, the rock star customer service team will help you with that.

"a captivating piece covering the difficult topic of breast cancer in a couple's seemingly close relationship, without giving smart answers. It is a prime example of how Doctor Theatre can work well, bringing tough subjects out in to the open for scrutiny."
Review of Richard's first full length play "Good Grief" by Stephanie Preacher, HenriettaRabbit.co.uk
Richard is now a regular writer for York Maze, helping to bring to life various attractions and shows to suit the client's brief. He has written three "Phantomime" scripts for their Halloween daytime event and has scripted both the pig racing attraction and a new show for the Summer of 2015 involving an 8ft animatronic robot. He also created shows for their Hallowscream events, including the two "Audience with the Undertakers" storytelling shows and a Séance!
"The séance is a scare attraction which incites fear through factual storytelling, and a realistic setting. Instead of the conventional attraction, it unravels it's scares at a slower pace while gradually building to a climax. As a member of the audience you feel safe because the scares are more psychological than physically harming. It was a very engaging concept with some good effects and puzzling outcomes."
Other writing credits include various scripts and short stories for schools and theatre groups. He co-wrote the Six o'Clock News that was performed at Leeds Carriageworks in 2012 as part of the Emerge festival aslongside Daniel Bye, Jaye Kearney and Carolyn Eden. In 2013 he wrote and created a film alongside children at the Galtres Festival entitled The Pirates of Galtres.
Richard entered a short play into the Script Yorkshire (York Branch) Script Factor Competition and, having won his heat with a piece entitled Old Bob, he entered his piece Connell and Coggs Exposed at the All-Winner's final at York Theatre Royal Studio. He was delighted to come second place overall.
"Connel and Coggs Exposed was a thought-provoking, moving play, and was sensitively portrayed by the actors"
Julia Pattison, Pocklington Post
Richard's latest full play "Good Grief" played to sell-out audiences in 2014 at the Friargate Theatre in York as part of Script Yorkshire's Envelope Project.

Much like Java a decade prior, Go was designed by experienced programmers for inexperienced programmers to use:
"The key point here is our programmers are Googlers, they're not researchers. They're typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."
"It must be familiar, roughly C-like. Programmers working at Google are early in their careers and are most familiar with procedural languages, particularly from the C family. The need to get programmers productive quickly in a new language means that the language cannot be too radical."
Go is unapologetically flawed, here's why we use it (HN: 2015)
"To put it mildly, Go's type system is impaired. It does not lend itself to writing quality, maintainable code at a large scale, which seems to be in stark contrast to the language's ambitions."
Why Go's design is a disservice to intelligent programmers (HN: 2015)
"Pike is basically saying that the developers at Google aren't very good so they've developed a dumbed down language so they can get things done."
Why Go is not good (HN: 2015, 2014)
"Go is useful. With that said, Go is not a good language. It's not bad; it's just not good."
You don't like Google's Go because you are small
"I view Go as a huge wasted opportunity. How often does a new semi-successful language backed by a successful company appear? Google squandered it through something which looks very much like arrogance."
"Go is a far better C, with garbage collection. But the GC makes it unacceptable for the only types of problems I'd ever consider using C for."

Best Weight Loss Tips for 2012
I cant go a day without having someone ask me about weight loss. What to eat/not eat, drink, some even realize exercise must be part of the equation. Other come to see me for their colonics and expect a magical wand of weight loss to be waved. As we all know, that doesn't happen Yes you can lose weight during a colonics. I personally lost 5 lbs and 3" from my mid-section on my last colonic. Of course I have been totally backed up since my vacation. This weight loss was maintained, but that is because my diet and hydration is also a priority and I include some fitness/activity into every day. No excuses on time or fatigue, I just find the time and get it done. Below I have listed 5 of my top tips for weight loss, follow them and you will achieve great results.
5). Drink water like you get paid to
Water is the one thing I encourage you to have as much as you want of. Why? Because drinking water regularly is extremely beneficial to your health, every aspect of it. In its most simple role, it's keeping you away from other, not-so-healthy drinks like sugary juices, pop, coffee, etc., and in its more advanced function, it's helping flush and detox your body of harmful and unwanted toxins. It also is the most effective hydrator of the body.
4). Find some accountability
When the only person you have to worry about disappointing is yourself, you're much more likely to fail than you are if you have a whole group of people rooting for your success. It doesn't matter who it is; you just need to find someone who's going to hold you accountable for what you say you're going to do. From what you're eating to what you're doing, you need to have goals lined up and someone to help support you when you're struggling to meet those goals. If you don't feel comfortable asking a friend or family member to do this for you, there are plenty of forums and support groups that you can find on the Internet for people who are looking for the same thing you are! I personally love the group at Clean Eating, visit http://www.eatcleandiet.com/; this is also a food program I highly recommend you follow when you are trying to lose weight. Tosca Reno has some amazing books with complete recommendations and procedures to follow. It will be the change you need and the answers you are seeking. Plus all of the success stories are awesome to read.
3). Eat smaller meals more often
This is one of those weight-loss tips that seems to pop up everywhere, but that should probably tell you something: it works! You should always eat within an hour of waking up, and then you should eat every 2-3 hours after that. When you eat smaller meals more frequently, your metabolism is forced to work more frequently, and thus, burn more calories. Not only will your food be digested and processed more effectively, you'll feel more energetic throughout the day. The key is they type of food you eat. Obviously nothing from the vending machine will keep your metabolism revved. Whole foods are where it is at. You can get raw sprouted grains, avocados, veggies, fruit, soups and salads easily and you can also make them yourself. I always like to start my morning off with a filling smoothie and include some coconut oil and chia seeds for fat and fibre to keep me full longer.
2). Detox your body
While drinking plenty of water is certainly helpful to aide your body in flushing its toxins, it's extremely important to detox your body in other ways in order to fully eliminate the waste and harmful toxins that build up over time. Even if you eat healthy and regularly exercise, you still need to detox frequently. We recommend colonics for the most effective body cleanse. Not only can you lose weight and inches, your therapist will guide you on the best solutions to those nagging digestive issues. We also offer lymphatic drainage to cleanse your cells and facilitate your detox metabolism. Our third method of detox is through the very controversial yet effective ion-foot cleanse detox. This is a nice relaxing method to allow toxins to purge from your body to where you see them in the bucket of water. Your therapist will be able to look at the water and tell you what areas are showing the greatest detox and cleansing. Using all-natural methods to detox your body is an easy and effective way to detox and achieve your health goals.
1). Make small, but realizable goals
I think the biggest mistake people (myself include) make is getting too excited or ambitious from the start only to realize the goals you made were too big, too quick. Don't promise yourself that you're going to go to the gym everyday or that you're not going to have anymore junk food; goals like these are setting yourself up to fail. Failure leads to punishment and disappointment - not success tools. Instead, commit to getting your heart rate up for 20 minutes a day, three times a week. Commit to 10 minutes of fast paced activity every day. Commit to replacing half of your beverage choices with water. Commit to eating 4 servings of veggies and 3 servings of fruit each day. When you make smaller goals, the rewards may not come as quickly, but they will come and more importantly they will last!
Yours in Health,

Hydrotherapy for hair has benefitted thousands in countering hair problems such as thinning of hair and hair loss. According to MayoClinic.com, about one-third of men and women get affected with hair problems. The foremost reason of hair problems has been identified to be poor blood circulation in the scalp. Hydrotherapy for hair is an alternative treatment to improve blood circulation in the scalp.
Human hair grows in cycles, which is different for everyone. According to MayoClinic.com, hair grows a little less than one-half inch a month. There are numerous causes of hair thinning or hair loss, but leading causes are genetic and poor nutrition. In other words, poor circulation obstructs delivery of nutrients and adequate moisture to the hair roots. When the hairs' roots don't receive the nutrition they require, their growth is halted.
Hydrotherapy immersion treatment is another technique of hydrotherapy for hair, which aims to restore the hair's functionality. The therapy restores blood circulation in the scalp and revitalises hair growth.
Hair problems, such as thinning of hair and hair loss can be prevented by making slight changes in routine. Mentioned below are some helpful tips on how to prevent hair problems.

Thailand's Agony The violence and arson have trailed off, perhaps stopped; bitterness and mourning prevail. Thais have a lot to answer for, and they know it, though they may try to shift the blame or ignore it. There are virtually no Good Guys; even the clergy managed to misbehave. For commentary on some of what happened and why, see the companion attachment — it is not part of the body of this issue of TLB because of its length and limited interest. That explains the paucity of expository commentary in this issue. So…here are some links you might not have seen.

"Much of what's wrong with the criminal justice system today isn't the product of evil or malevolent law enforcement personnel, but of poorly structured incentives put in place by bad policy.

Singapore broadcaster Mediacorp has taken disciplinary action against a cameraman accused of making sexist remarks to a former employee, and is investigating allegations of inappropriate conduct against other employees.
A Mediacorp spokesman told local media on Tuesday (10 Oct), "We have concluded that the allegations are valid and have taken the necessary disciplinary action against the staff who had made the inappropriate remarks."
Mediacorp said the specific disciplinary action was "confidential information". Last Thursday, Mediacorp said it was investigating a claim by former Channel NewsAsia (CNA) producer Juwon Park that a colleague made sexist remarks directed at her.
Park, a producer for the finance show Money Mind, alleged that a colleague had said she could not be a presenter "because I have no boobs" and "girls shouldn't be too smart for their own good" and that she "should act dumb". She reproduced screenshots from an alleged Whatsapp conversation with said colleague, who claimed "it's how the industry works".
'Discouraged from going to HR'
After Park's complaints went public, other staff members had reported inappropriate conduct against the current affairs cameraman and two freelancers who work in the same unit as him, Mediacorp said.
Park said in a Facebook post on Tuesday evening that additional allegations were brought forth by five other producers. She said she hoped that her highlighting this incident "prompts more open culture and dialogue within the company".
Park added, "I think this is very important because I was repeatedly discouraged from going to HR with my past complaints. And that should not happen anymore. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected at work – regardless of their age, gender, sexuality or ethnicity."
According to the Mediacorp spokesman, Park had already tendered her resignation in September and left the company after serving a shortened notice period. Park said that she will be leaving Singapore soon.

India and the global financial crisis
Contributed By:
Dhanantar Singh, KAS
Under Secretary to Government,
Higher Education Department
(Mr Dhanantar Singh has qualified KAS in the year 2008 with All J&K Rank 7th and had Economice as Optional Subjects and can be mailed at email@example.com)
When the financial crisis erupted in a comprehensive manner on Wall Street, there was some premature triumphalism among Indian policymakers and media persons. It was argued that India would be relatively immune to this crisis, because of the "strong fundamentals" of the economy and the supposedly well-regulated banking system.
This argument was emphasised by the Finance Minister and others even when other developing countries in Asia clearly experienced significant negative impact, through transmission of stock market turbulence and domestic credit stringency.
These effects have been most marked among those developing countries where the foreign ownership of banks is already well advanced, and when US-style financial sectors with the merging of banking and investment functions have been created.
If India is not in the same position, it is not to the credit of our policymakers, who had in fact wanted to go along the same route. Indeed, for some time now there have been complaints that these "necessary" reforms which would "modernise" the financial sector have been held up because of opposition from the Left parties.
But even though we are slightly better protected from financial meltdown, largely because of the still large role of the nationalised banks and other controls on domestic finance, there is certainly little room for complacency.
The recent crash in the Sensex is not simply an indicator of the impact of international contagion. There have been warning signals and signs of fragility in Indian finance for some time now, and these are likely to be compounded by trends in the real economy.
Economic downturn
After a long spell of growth, the Indian economy is experiencing a downturn. Industrial growth is faltering, inflation remains at double-digit levels, the current account deficit is widening, foreign exchange reserves are depleting and the rupee is depreciating.
The last two features can also be directly related to the current international crisis. The most immediate effect of that crisis on India has been an outflow of foreign institutional investment from the equity market. Foreign institutional investors, who need to retrench assets in order to cover losses in their home countries and are seeking havens of safety in an uncertain environment, have become major sellers in Indian markets.
In 2007-08, net FII inflows into India amounted to $20.3 billion. As compared with this, they pulled out $11.1 billion during the first nine-and-a-half months of calendar year 2008, of which $8.3 billion occurred over the first six-and-a-half months of financial year 2008-09 (April 1 to October 16). This has had two effects: in the stock market and in the currency market.
Given the importance of FII investment in driving Indian stock markets and the fact that cumulative investments by FIIs stood at $66.5 billion at the beginning of this calendar year, the pullout triggered a collapse in stock prices. As a result, the Sensex fell from its closing peak of 20,873 on January 8, 2008, to less than 10,000 by October 17, 2008 (Chart 1).
Falling rupee
In addition, this withdrawal by the FIIs led to a sharp depreciation of the rupee. Between January 1 and October 16, 2008, the RBI reference rate for the rupee fell by nearly 25 per cent, even relative to a weak currency like the dollar, from Rs 39.20 to the dollar to Rs 48.86 (Chart 2). This was despite the sale of dollars by the RBI, which was reflected in a decline of $25.8 billion in its foreign currency assets between the end of March 2008 and October 3, 2008.
It could be argued that the $275 billion the RBI still has in its kitty is adequate to stall and reverse any further depreciation if needed. But given the sudden exit by the FIIs, the RBI is clearly not keen to deplete its reserves too fast and risk a foreign exchange crisis.
The result has been the observed sharp depreciation of the rupee. While this depreciation may be good for India's exports that are adversely affected by the slowdown in global markets, it is not so good for those who have accumulated foreign exchange payment commitments. Nor does it assist the Government's effort to rein in inflation.
A second route through which the global financial crisis could affect India is through the exposure of Indian banks or banks operating in India to the impaired assets resulting from the sub-prime crisis. Unfortunately, there are no clear estimates of the extent of that exposure, giving room for rumour in determining market trends. Thus, ICICI Bank was the victim of a run for a short period because of rumours that sub-prime exposure had badly damaged its balance sheet, although these rumours have been strongly denied by the bank.
Exposure of banks
So far the RBI has claimed that the exposure of Indian banks to assets impaired by the financial crisis is small. According to reports, the RBI had estimated that as a result of exposure to collateralised debt obligations and credit default swaps, the combined mark-to-market losses of Indian banks at the end of July was around $450 million.
Given the aggressive strategies adopted by the private sector banks, the MTM losses incurred by public sector banks were estimated at $90 million, while that for private banks was around $360 million. As yet these losses are on paper, but the RBI believes that even if they are to be provided for, these banks are well capitalised and can easily take the hit.
Such assurances have neither reduced fears of those exposed to these banks or to investors holding shares in these banks.
These fears are compounded by those of the minority in metropolitan areas dealing with foreign banks that have expanded their presence in India, whose global exposure to toxic assets must be substantial. What is disconcerting is the limited information available on the risks to which depositors and investors are subject. Only time will tell how significant this factor will be in making India vulnerable to the global crisis.
A third indirect fallout of the global crisis and its ripples in India is in the form of the losses sustained by non-bank financial institutions (especially mutual funds) and corporates, as a result of their exposure to domestic stock and currency markets.
Such losses are expected to be large, as signalled by the decision of the RBI to allow banks to provide loans to mutual funds against certificates of deposit (CDs) or buyback their own CDs before maturity. These losses are bound to render some institutions fragile, with implications that would become clear only in the coming months.
Credit cutback
A fourth effect is that, in this uncertain environment, banks and financial institutions concerned about their balance sheets, have been cutting back on credit, especially the huge volume of housing, automobile and retail credit provided to individuals. According to RBI figures, the rate of growth of auto loans fell from close to 30 per cent over the year ending June 30, 2008, to as low as 1.2 per cent.
Loans to finance consumer durables purchases fell from around Rs 6,000 crore in the year to June 2007, to a little over Rs 4,000 crore up to June this year. Direct housing loans, which had increased by 25 per cent during 2006-07, decelerated to 11 per cent growth in 2007-08 and 12 per cent over the year ending June 2008.
It is only in an area like credit-card receivables, where banks are unable to control the growth of credit, that expansion was, at 43 per cent, quite high over the year ending June 2008, even though it was lower than the 50 per cent recorded over the previous year.
It is known that credit-financed housing investment and credit-financed consumption have been important drivers of growth in recent years, and underpin the 9 per cent growth trajectory India has been experiencing.
The reticence of lenders to increase their exposure in markets to which they are already overexposed and the fears of increasing payment commitments in an uncertain economic environment on the part of potential borrowers are bound to curtail debt-financed consumption and investment. This could slow growth significantly.
Finally, the recession generated by the financial crisis in the advanced economies as a group and the US in particular, will adversely affect India's exports, especially its exports of software and IT-enabled services, more than 60 per cent of which are directed to the US.
International banks and financial institutions in the US and EU are important sources of demand for such services, and the difficulties they face will result in some curtailment of their demand. Further, the nationalisation of many of these banks is likely to increase the pressure to reduce outsourcing in order to keep jobs in the developed countries.
And the slowing of growth outside of the financial sector too will have implications for both merchandise and services exports. The net result would be a smaller export stimulus and a widening trade deficit.
Domestic policy
While these trends are still in process, their effects are already being felt. They are not the only causes for the downturn the economy is experiencing, but they are important contributory factors. Yet, this does not justify the argument that India's difficulties are all imported. They are induced by domestic policy as well.
The extent of imported difficulties would have been far less if the Government had not increased the vulnerability of the country to external shocks by drastically opening up the real and financial sectors. It is disconcerting, therefore, that when faced with this crisis the Government is not rethinking its own liberalisation strategy, despite the backlash against neo-liberalism worldwide.
By deciding to relax conditions that apply to FII investments in the vain hope of attracting them back and by focusing on pumping liquidity into the system rather than using public expenditure and investment to stall a recession, it is indicating that it hopes that more of what created the problem would help solve it. This is just to postpone decisions that may prove critical — till it is too late.

-Woman admits in court that she is a witch and even owns snake
- Neighbors accused her of killing her own daughter-in-law
-She was seeking restraining order against three of the neighbors
Woman who was suspected to must have murdered her own daughter-in-law through witchcraft has confirmed her neighbors' worst nightmares.
Gogo Etina Kamangirwa from Chitungwiza told Harare civil court that her neighbors, Director Garamwera, Portia Karembera and Locadia Rice, had accused her of being responsible for the demise of her own daughter-in-law and that she was a witch.
"Your worship, they call me a witch and even say that I am the one who murdered my daughter-in-law.They also tell people that I want to kill their kids," Kamangirwa told the court in bitter protest against her three neighbors as she sought protection.

The neighbors, Kamangirwa lamented, also gossiped about her and announced to everyone that she had a snake that watered her garden.
"Yes, I know I am a witch. And the snake they keep talking about is mine and they can't kill it," she told the court.
She went further to state that she had heard the neighbors praying to God to kill all witches. But according to her, they have no right to tell God what to do because the same God made witches.

The three neighbors, in response, reportedly feigned ignorance and told the court they didn't know what Kamangirwa was talking about. They instead claimed she was the one who insulted them.
The judge granted Kamangirwa her protection orders and urged all women to exist peacefully and respect each other.
