Sakatia Lodge lies on Sakatia island, about 15 minutes by motor boat from Nosy be island; it overlooks a sandy beach that faces south-est, delimited by a small cape covered by lush forest. Sakatia island is 6-km long and 2-km wide, there are no roads inside but only paths between forest, villages and small plantations.
Sakatia Lodge offers 9 bungalows (4 spacious Ravinala, 4 comfort Mango and 1 family Madiro) and 2 Beach Villas. Bungalows are built inside a tropical garden and a few steps from the beach. It is ideal solution for travelers who wish to spend their holiday in a beautiful natural contest off the beaten tracks.
Sakatia Lodge beach is protected by a stretch of coral reef you can easily reach to do snorkeling; the lodge has its own diving center just for resident clients, with the advantage divers can leave with the boat right from the beach to reach diving spots. There are more than 20 dive sites around the islands of Sakatia and Nosy Be, some of which are in front of the Lodge. Most sites are suitable for all levels of qualification.
On the north-west side of the island there is a nice wild beach where sometimes sea turtles come to lay eggs; the beach can be reached in a few minutes by motor boat or crossing the island on a path. Sakatia Lodge owns motor boats and organizes trips on all the island of Nosy be arcipelago: Nosy Komba, Nosy Iranja, Nosy Fahany, Nost Tanikely (Marine Park).
Antoremba Lodge is located on a nice beach on Madagascar main land in front of Nosy Komba island at just 40 minutes of motor boat ride from Nosy be. Thanks to its off the beaten tracks position, a seaside stay at Antoremba lodge is a ideal solution for travellers who love untouched nature but at the same time wish to organize day time excursion to explore islands and islets of Nosy be archipelago: Nosy Komba, Nosy Iranja, Nosy Tanikely.
The 7 charming bungalows are right on the beach inside a tropical garden; they are simple and cozy, built with palissandre and teak wood. From the lodge it is also possible to snorkel and organize trekking in the nearby forest.
Eden Lodge is located on the north-west coast of Madagascar main land, about 30 minutes by boat from Nosy be Island. Built on a property of 8 hectares, it overlooks a beautiful beach at a small distance from a fishermen village. The lodge is surrounded by a lush forest rich in endemic plants, between the others some majestic baobab trees; it is also habitat both of nocturnal and diurnal lemurs, different species of birds and chameleons. Directly from the beach, in season it is possible to spot dolphins and whales safely swimming since motor boats are rare in these waters.
Eden Lodge Madagascar is a luxury eco-lodge, selected as a pilot project for eco-tourism in Madagascar. Far from spectacular and publicized environmental measures, everything was originally conceived in an eco-friendly perspective with the local population in mind.
The hotel offers just 8 lodges of 75 sq m. overlooking the beach, each one built on a wooden platform, with a ravinala roof and a fresh tented canopy of 35 sq. m. with large openings protected by mosquito nets. Made with local materials, such as Anjanojano stone, the trunks of fallen trees and coconut palm trees, the lodges offer maximum comfort yet total immersion in nature.
Eden Lodge conjures up the spirit and atmosphere of a tented camp with the protection and comfort of a permanent lodge, entirely powered with solarnenergy. Bar-restaurant is in a 300 sq. m. lodge opened on the beach, appointed with bright colours. The creative cuisine is composed exclusively of fresh products, inspired by spicy flavors of Madagascar and by the French.
At any moment of your stay, enjoy a traditional Madagascan massage using essential oil, or a traditional care, in the comfort of your lodge on your personal table massage. Enjoy also some offered activities and environment-friendly water sports: hobby cat, sea kayak, paddle, snorkeling, or windsurf. There is also a choice of paying activities by boat; diving and fishing is possible with reliable partners in Nosy be requesting it on booking time.


Thread: X3:TC In Game Web Browser?
I have been scouring the intarwebs looking for a mod that adds a browser in game to X3:TC. Does such a thing exist?
Also, I am curious to why this hasnt been done already if it doesnt. It seems to me like this would be a very valuable mod. Are there outstanding technological limitations that are preventing this?
You can, however, add X3 to Steam as a non-steam game and you'll be able to use the steam functions (which includes a webbrowser). Maybe this is something you're looking for?
And you can use Gamepe to get MSN ingame, though I haven't tested it with X3 (has been a while since I used it, because I got my MSN on a seperate laptop nowadays so gaming and MSN is seperate).
Welcome to the forum Unsalted and kutagh, thanks for your answer kutagh .

Asphyx Death... The Brutal Way
By Denise Falzon
With the reunion of Dutch death metal masters Asphyx comes a brilliant new album in the form of the aptly titled Death… The Brutal Way. The band feature Martin van Drunen (vocals) and Paul Baayens (guitars) from death/thrash outfit Hail of Bullets, and although it's van Drunen's first vocal performance since 1992's The Last One On Earth, it seems as though the two releases are no more than a year or two apart. From the opening attack of "Scorbutics" to the figurative middle finger that is the title track to the slow-tempo groove on album closer "The Saw, The Torture, The Pain," Asphyx convey exactly the type of tight musicianship and brutality extreme bands from the Netherlands are known for. With crushing riffs and intensely aggressive vocals (possible van Drunen's best performance to date), Death… The Brutal Way is classic Asphyx. The record captures the band's characteristic style and it's precisely everything that old school death metal should be. (Ibex Moon Records)

Would You Pay $20,000 Or More for a 2011 Ford Fiesta?
Ford Fiesta Hatchback News
by writer: Scott Evans May 01, 2010
If you haven't seen it already, take a look at our First Test of the new 2011 Ford Fiesta. That's right, we've already got a pair of Fiestas in our garage and we've got a complete set of numbers on them. The number everyone seems most interested in, though, is the hefty-looking price tag, so let's take a closer look at that.
As noted, we have two Fiestas: a Lime Squeeze Green five-speed manual and a Yellow Blaze six-speed dual-clutch automatic. Both are five-door hatchbacks and decked out in the top-shelf SES trim package. Both run zero to 60 mph in 9.5 seconds and post the best handling, stopping, and fuel economy numbers in their class despite being the heaviest and slowest in a straight line.
But you don't really care about all that. You're too distracted by the price tag, which reads $19,305 for the manual and $20,675 for the automatic. How did these little hatches get so expensive? Options. Both started at $15,995 ($675 destination charge included) before the SES trim bumped them to $17,120, but that did net us Sync, Sirius Satellite Radio and a set of 16-inch wheels. Both cars were also recipients of the single option package available, dubbed 301A, which added keyless entry, push-button starting, heated front seats, chrome exterior trim, and an alarm and set us back another $795. Another $715 for leather seats brings us to the manual's as-tested price, but for the auto we had to dish out another $300 for the optional Yellow Blaze Metallic Tri-Coat paint and $1,745 for the dual-clutch automatic transmission. Ford doesn't offer an in-dash navigation system like some of its competitors, instead relying on Sync's turn-by-turn directions. The company reasons that buyers in this segment would rather buy a $200 portable nav unit than a $2000 in-dash unit.
Sounds hefty, but wait, there's more. A little toying with Ford's online configurator allowed us to option a manual Fiesta up to $22,605 and an automatic all the way to $23,265. A topped-out Fiesta sedan, meanwhile, runs $21,245 but has fewer options. Ford offers a number of doo-dads including a 3dCarbon body kit, exterior graphics and lighted interior trim bits that all add to the base price. Sounds pricey for the class, but consider this: The top-flight Honda Fit Sport with Navigation starts at $19,110 and, with all of the boxes checked, tops out at $28,666 thanks to pricey Mugen accessories. On the other hand, the larger Ford Fusion sedan starts at $19,695 and a similarly optioned Fusion SE can be had for about the same price as a maxed-out Fiesta.
So the Ford Fiesta is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive car in the class, but compared to some of the other competition, such as the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa and Hyundai Accent GS, it's certainly on the pricier end of the segment. Is Ford asking too much for this well-equipped little hatch, or is there more than enough value to be had in the class-leading chassis and optional add-ons? Only time will tell what the market thinks, but what about you? Would you pay more than $20,000 for a spec'd-out Fiesta? Tell us in the comments below.
Ford's online configurator for the 2011 Fiesta can be found HERE.
Report: Ford Fusion Name Will Live on as Wagon-Like Crossover
Chevrolet Bolt Production Gets a 20 Percent Increase


Magic - thanks very much. I'll see if Kris from RSS can source these along with an STi rack.
Definitely the ALK. I have STi suspensions as well but the slight increase in NVH is noticeable but bearable. I then fitted the RCA and ALK while waiting for the suspension to settle in to the new ride hide before swapping the old Geosqueelers for Michelin Primacy and alignment. The feedback from suspension is immense bordering intense, every chatter from road imperfections felt and potholes are now jarring. New tyres helped as they are made for comofort.
Would love to know alternatives too but Group N bushing is out of question as I love the extra castor and I can live with it for now.
You could also apply CLD (constrained layer damping) to minimise vibration and resonance in the chassis, which is more prominent in wagon/SUV than sedan like your STi. I had it way before the suspension mod as the Geosqueelers were terrible with road noise. All the crashing and jarring sound that you mentioned are muffled.
James your referring to just about every road in Queensland!
Craig might have the answer?
Id love to know if you solve this.
I reckon i have the same NVH issues an that is with changes to coilovers, swaybars, endlinks etc.
Halfway through buying property at the moment so I've had to save my pennies lately. I've got solid links on my RSB and running the OEM front link/FSB setup as well. It has to be the ALK - I'd be extremely surprised if it was anything else. I'm just not sure what it is about the Forester chassis/body that makes it so much worse than the sedan? I get that there's no separate boot so the noise reverberates around but the amount of shock coming into the body kinda feels like the car is slowly destroying itself.
I'll have to get back to Fulcrum to check the alignment but will need to see if I can source some Group N bushings. Will look into the STi forums and see if any of the MY08/08 owners have had similar NVH issues with the Whiteline ALK.
Hmm i have pedders bushings in my front lower control arms. maybe that is a source of the banging and crashing when i drive.
I have the AVO Castor Correction bushes and they did increase NVH. I like to think that I can "feel" the road better now.
The Castor correction was a definite improvement over stock though.
Hey Vintec, I'll probably take the punt and put the stock bushes back in if I can't find any GroupN bushes (or if it's too hard/expensive to get them). A bit of a shame because they do what they're meant to but the trade-off isn't worth it IMO, not for what we're using the car for anyway.
I'm running about 6.5deg castor already and I have the Com C top hats which provide some castor adjustment as well, so I may be OK if I lose the ALK.
It's so smooth on decent roads but when the going gets rough - I feel every hairline crack, every rock and sometimes even the road paint!
I thought Whiteline product description says only 0.75 deg of castor? I'll seriously consider the top hats if they really allow 6.5deg of castor. Is that on STi or stock suspension?
Looking at my alignment spec sheet after I fitted the MY08 STi struts/springs, my castor was 6.51 left and 5.84 right. They made no change during the first alignment which was after the ALK and RCA kit went on. When the Com C top hats were installed, my castor improved to 7.1 left and 6.5 right with the top hats positioned for maximum camber. Fulcrum recommended to opt for an increase in left castor to compensate for the angle in the roads (leaning towards the left gutter), but looking back at my STi spec sheet I was running about 5.8deg equal across the axle and that was perfect for that setup.
If I lose a degree or so in castor I won't be too concerned. The trade-off to gain some comfort will be worth it.
Update - I've ordered the LCA inner rear bushes (Part# 20204ZR010 x 2) from japanparts. Will report back when I've had them installed with an accompanying alignment. Interested to see how much castor I lose by removing the Whiteline ALK - may be able to rotate the Com C strut tops to compensate - can't quite recall if they're on max castor/max camber or just max camber.

HomeBlogPopcorn Parent Movie ReviewsFamily Movie Review: Silver Circle (PG-13)
Family Movie Review: Silver Circle (PG-13)
Kernel Rating (out of 5): 0
MPAA Rating: PG-13 Length: 90 minutes
Age Appropriate for: 13+. The film is overtly, obviously political, but it's also animated, which creates a kind of distance from the characters. There's some cursing, violence like arson and class struggle, drug use, and implied sexual behavior. Some of the politics might go over the heads of younger teenagers who aren't necessarily interested in that kind of thing, but high school sophomores and older could get it.
Movies have agendas all the time—documentaries especially, like 'How to Survive a Plague,' often have some serious stakes at play. 'Silver Circle' is a kind of far-right experiment, decrying the federal government and the Federal Reserve, but simplistic politics and a poor animating style make it practically insufferable.
In a dystopian future where the U.S. federal government is useless and the U.S. dollar is weightless, who is going to save the world? We've seen our country in shambles before—pfft, that storyline has been a mainstay in sci-fi for years—but it's always the right-wingers as the fascists holding down the people. "Silver Circle" reverses that scenario, casting the greedy, liberal federal government as the bad guys, and of course director Pasha Roberts and writer Steven Schwartz can think whatever they want. But the film fails in fully articulating what they want to say, instead falling back on simplistic character stereotypes to keep this depiction of government corruption afloat.

The Best Co-working Spaces to Get Inspired in Panama City
Panama Equity
Posted in Exploring & Living in Panama, Work & Business On Apr 25, 2019
One of the coolest outcomes of the trend toward a global workforce of remote workers is co-working spaces. Co-working spaces involve a shared working environment between groups of people with different goals.
It's fascinating to think about how much the work world we know has changed in just a few decades. While office buildings, conference rooms, and cubicles are still very much a reality, they are no longer the only reality. Thanks to the connectivity afforded by technology, now people can collaborate from all over the world, from the comfort of anywhere with an internet connection.
This new addition to the workplace landscape has taken off and Panama is staying ahead of the curve with plenty of awesome options to choose from. Increasingly popular among freelancers and creative people who seek community and collaboration, these co-working spaces operate as a temporary work environment anyone can rent by the hour, the day, or the month.
They are an amazing way to get inspired and also create networking opportunities for individuals and business. At a co-working space, you can not only interact with other professionals from a variety of sectors but you can also meet prospective clients. At any of Panama's co-working spaces you have the option to do both.
If networking is a priority for you, it's a good idea to ask about the other types of professionals or businesses you will share the area with to see if there is any potential for partnerships. Regardless of what you're looking for or in a co-working space, you're bound to find the perfect fit here in Panama City.

This variety of perks along with the three different locations make Workings one of the most popular options when it comes to co-working spaces in Panama City.

The space is clean, well lit, and free of distractions (unless you're looking to network, in which there are plenty of others who are happy to engage in conversation).
What really sets Coworking PTY apart from alternatives, though, is its mission. Apart from just offering a place conducive to getting work done, Coworking PTY seeks to promote new development and sustainability in Panama. They offer workshops, and partner with local entrepreneurs to continue to advance Panama's economy.

The Cube Workspace
© The Cube
Located right on Via Espana and inconspicuously tucked above a pharmacy, it's easy to miss this workspace that's relatively new to the co-working scene. Step inside, though, and you won't believe your eyes.
More than an office space, The Cube Workspace looks and feels like a hip loft apartment. A full kitchenette with complimentary coffee and tea, workspaces aplenty, and lots of seating options and indoor plants make this is the perfect workspace for the cubicle-averse.
Whatever your work style is, The Cube Workspace can accommodate it. There's even an event space that can hold up to 120 people for those looking to organize a larger event. Say hello to productivity and creativity galore.
So there you have it — a comprehensive list of the co-working spaces in Panama. Chances are, this list will only keep growing as more and more businesses and individuals move towards remote and flexible work. We can't wait to see what else is on the horizon!

Melco Resorts Philippines Announces Intention To Delist From PSE
Melco Resorts Philippines Announces Intention To Delist From PSE September 11, 2018 September 11, 2018 Paul Butcher
Industry September 11, 2018 by Paul Butcher
Melco Resorts and Entertainment (Philippines) Corp has just announced their plans to voluntarily delist from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). Their majority shareholders intend to purchase the 1.54 billion shares that are currently owned by the public.
Melco Resorts Philippines is a part of Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd which is a major casino developer in Asia. The company, which owns and operates City of Dreams Manila, did not explain the reasons for delisting their shares and they didn't provide a firm date for the change.
In the same filing, Melco Resorts Philippines said that they want to purchase the 1.54 billion publicly-owned shares which represent about 27.23 percent of the capital stock that remains outstanding. It is expected that they will offer PHP7.25 per share with a total cost of about PHP11.19 billion.
Sanford Bernstein analysts Vitaly Umansky, Kelsey Zhu and Zhen Gong stated that the offer price is a 17% premium to Friday's closing price and it is at a 14% premium over the weighted average price from the last three months.
Delisting Should Be Helpful
The three Sanford Berstein analysts claimed that the deal should be viewed as a favourable one because it will remove some of the company's complexity. Shedding the publicly-traded affiliate will allow Melco Resorts to be in a stronger position to grow moving forward. The development of City of Dreams Manila was completed with the cooperation of Premium Leisure Corp. Premium Leisure Corp is a subsidiary of Belle Corp which is gaming and real estate operation that is run by the Sy family.
The Sy family is thought to be the richest family in the Philippines.
Official Filing Expected Next Week
More information regarding the pending tender offer will come when the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission happens sometime around September 17th. The Philippines usually requires that 95 percent of shares must be held before a delisting can move forward. However, if a company is able to prove that they have made their best effort to pick up the outstanding shares then it is still possible to permit the delisting.
In May, Melco Resorts said that they were involved in discussions with Belle Corp who were asked to pick up an equity stake in City of Dreams Manila which includes the hotel and other non-gaming facilities.

There are many forms of financing out there, but Fintech also incorporates technology into the mix. That means that you are able to manage your financing easily using online tools that work quickly and efficiently. With financial technology obtaining financing for your business is quick and easy, with credit decisions made in minutes, and funding available in hours.
With accounts receivable factoring you get funded the same day you invoice your customers, giving you the working capital you need to grow your business. No longer do you need to wait 30 days or more to get paid when you offer payment terms to your customers, and you can use the funding you receive to pay off your suppliers, make payroll, pay the rent, attend trade shows, or do anything else you need to grow your business.
Imagine receiving a cash flow infusion, accounts receivable management, and credit insurance with accounts receivable factoring, combined with the convenience and speed of being able to receive credit approvals and submit invoices online. This is what fintech factoring is all about, streamlining accounts receivable factoring, a service that dates back hundreds of years, with the modern conveniences of the 21st century.
What Makes DSA Factors Fintech?
With accounts receivable factoring you get funded the same day you invoice your customers. No longer do you need to wait 30 days or more to get paid when you offer payment terms to your customers. We also handle all of your credit checking, collection work, and insure your receivables. Best of all, accounts receivable factoring is not a loan so you aren't taking on any new debt.
While getting funded the same day you invoice will greatly improve your cash flow, sometimes it isn't enough when you receive a large purchase order and need to order another container of merchandise. With purchase order financing you can get a short term loan you can use to pay off your suppliers in order to fulfill a large purchase order. We can even break the loan up into two parts, the first to pay a deposit to the factory, and second to release the container, in order to minimize the amount of interest you need to pay on the loan.
DSA Factors allows you to manage your accounts receivable online. When you get an order, simply login to our web page and submit the company for approval. All we need is your customer's name, address, phone and the amount of the order. If it is a customer you have previously factored with us, just enter their account number and the amount of the order. If you don't know an account number, just search for it on our site. Oftentimes you will get an instant approval on our web site, but if we can't approve them instantly we will typically get back to you within 30 minutes with a credit decision on the account.
In addition to giving you credit approvals online, we also give you a variety of online reports. From our web page you have access to a real-time aging statement of your accounts, detailed transmittal sheets for every payment we ever sent you, the ability to pull account statements, view sales reports, and view open or used approvals.
DSA Factors may not be as integrated into your software as other fintech companies, but we work just as quickly and at a fraction of the price. In fact, we actually offer a lot of services that the other fintech companies do not offer. While it may take you five minutes longer to obtain funding from DSA, the other services we provide you will save you hours, and might even allow you to reduce your payroll.
Since DSA Factors doesn't integrate with your bank account, accounting software, or anything else, you can rest assured that when you work with us your login and passwords will be completely safe since we do not have them. We also offer you a level of privacy that the other fintech companies don't provide since we don't have access to all of your financial information at any given time.
Furthermore, DSA Factors is a family owned and operated company. Whenever you call you will always be able to speak with one of our principals, whether it is Howard, Ben, or Max Tolsky. After all, we are a small business just like you. It is unlikely you will get a chance to speak with a principal at one of the other fintech firms who have founders and investors such as Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Ashton Kutcher.
By continuously monitoring the credit of your customers, you can avoid having to subscribe to expensive credit rating agencies, or risk getting phony credit references. We also manage all of your collections so you no longer have to make phone calls or send out account statements. Plus we offer you credit insurance with our non-recourse factoring program, meaning that you will never have to worry about bad debt ever again.
We also offer purchase order financing to our clients. With PO financing, we provide you with a short term loan so that you can pay your suppliers in order to procure merchandise to fulfill a large purchase order. This is funding available to you in addition to the funding you receive by factoring your invoices.
With our low flat-rate fees you know exactly how much you are going to pay for funding up front, at DSA Factors we don't charge you interest if your customers pay an invoice late. We offer same day funding and instant online credit approvals. We have no minimum volume requirements, no credit limits, and no long term commitments. Plus we have over 30 years experience in accounts receivable factoring and over 60 years experience in finance.
Want to learn more? Give us a call right now at 773-248-9000, or chat with us here on our web page, and one of our principals will be more than happy to speak with you about how we can help grow your business.
When it comes to financing your business with a Fintech company, it is important to look at the benefits and costs associated with doing so. Often times by working with a traditional factoring company, such as DSA Factors, you receive many additional benefits than you would not receive by working with a strictly Fintech company, and your costs are also minimized. Below is a comparison between DSA Factors and some of the more popular Fintech companies.
Click inside each box to expand and learn more.
At DSA Factors, there is a lot that goes into our factoring rate including credit insurance, continuing credit checks on your accounts, and handling collections. While are factoring fee is very similar to a credit card processing fee, only 1% of our fee is used to cover the advance we give you on your invoices. In fact, if you don't need an advance we will give you a 1% discount on our service. So assuming that most net 30 day invoices get paid in 45 days, the APR on the advance is 8%.
Computing PayPal's APR is a little tricky as it based entirely on your sales volume with them and the amount you are borrowing. If you have $1,000,000 in annual PayPal sales and borrow 8.3% of your annual PayPal sales (or one month of sales), the fee is between 3.7-12.3% based on your payment plan, and needs to be paid back within 360 to 540 days. This gives a modest APR of 11.2-13.5%. However, you also need to pay payment processing fees to PayPal for all payments received which is 2.9% plus an additional 30 cents per transaction on 100% of your sales. So ignoring the $0.30 transaction fees, your actual APR would include processing fees on $1,000,000 worth of payments per year and come out to 46-48%.
BlueVine charges a flat rate factoring fee of 10-15% regardless of the terms of the invoice. However, they do not provide credit insurance, continuing credit checks, or handle collections, the only service they are providing you with is the advance. Let's say that you only factor net 90 day invoices with them in order to get the best APR, your APR would still be 40-60%. For a line of credit, they offer interest rates of 0.6-1.2% per week, giving an APR of between 31-62%.
Fundbox may charge you anywhere from 4.6-12% over the course of a 12 week loan, and double that for a 24 week loan. However, interest is based on the original amount of the loan, not the principal balance, so the APR is between 62-161%. The APR can be reduced however if you pay off the loan early.
OnDeck states their average rate for a term loan is 38% plus a 2.5-4% origination fee, and for a line of credit the average APR is 29.99%. Of course these are only averages. Since their lowest APR on a 3-month loan is 16%, and their lowest APR on a line of credit is 14%, it is possible that their APR's can be 50% or more. If you try to pay off a loan early to avoid paying interest, OnDeck still requires you to pay 75% of the remaining unpaid interest, meaning that you're APR will skyrocket if you want to pay early.
Kabbage offers interest rates of between 1.5-10% based on a variety of factors, but that is a monthly interest rate that is based on the original loan amount, not principal balance, and fluctuates over the course of your loan. This translates to an actual APR between 32-108%. Although if you want to pay off a loan early your APR could be as high as 120%.
DSA offers online instant credit approvals on your accounts, real-time aging statements, the ability to view detailed transmittal sheets of every payment we ever sent you, account statements, sales reports, and more. We also allow your customers to make payments online.
PayPal Working Capital is completely integrated within PayPal, and all aspects of the loan from funding to repayment are done through PayPal.
BlueVine integrates with accounting software such as QuickBooks. They also have you give them access to your bank account. You can then submit invoices for funding via their web page or your accounting software. You can draw on a line of credit from their web page.
Fundbox integrates with your accounting software and allows you to submit invoices online for funding.
OnDeck allows you to apply online and manage your loan or line of credit from their web page.
Kabbage has you give them access to your bank account and other accounts such as Amazon, PayPal, and Etsy. They then make you an offer online, and you can pull from your line of credit online. Kabbage automatically makes withdrawals from your bank account each month to pay off the loan.
DSA Factors can be funding you the same day we receive your application, or within 24 hours of your initial contact with us. Invoices are funded the same day we receive them. For credit approvals, if the web site can't give you an instant approval, we try to get back to you within 30 minutes on all approval requests. If something is urgent you can even give us a call and we will give you an answer over the phone.
PayPal Working Capital claims that approval takes minutes and they will fund you immediately after you are approved and agree to the terms of the loan.
BlueVine processes applications within 24 hours. Initial funding is then available within 24 hours. They allow for immediate funding on invoices you submit for factoring, or you can pull from your line of credit at any time from their web page.
Fundbox can approve you for funding in just a few hours. Invoices can be submitted for immediate funding online.
OnDeck claims that you can apply for a loan in ten minutes and receive a decision in a few minutes after that. Initial funding is in 24 hours.
Kabbage claims that after filling out their online application and giving them access to your bank account and online retailer accounts, that you will be made an offer instantly and can borrow funds immediately.
DSA Factors is a fourth generation, family owned and operated business. Whenever you call you can always speak with a principal, whether it is Howard, Ben or Max Tolsky.
PayPal is a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ stock exchange. It was formerly a subsidiary of eBay.
BlueVine is privately held and funded by venture capitalists.
Fundbox is privately held and funded by venture capitalists.
OnDeck is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.
Kabbage is privately held and funded by venture capitalists.
DSA Factors was founded in 1964 and offered consumer finance for Richard's Furniture customers at that time. We have been offering accounts receivable factoring since 1986.
PayPal was founded in 1998. The PayPal Working Capital program was launched in 2013. Their loans are issued by WebBank.
BlueVine was founded in 2014.
Fundbox was founded in 2013 and started offering loans in 2014.
OnDeck was founded in 2007. Their loans are issued by banks, including Celtic Bank.

With DSA Factors if you are currently offering terms, you can eliminate expensive subscriptions to credit rating agencies and accounts receivable payroll. If you were accepting credit cards for payment, you eliminate credit card processing fees. You also eliminate all bad debt with non-recourse factoring as our service provides you with credit insurance.
With PayPal Working Capital, you still do business as usual. Not only can you not eliminate any expenses, but you are required to process all payments through PayPal and pay their payment processing fees.
With BlueVine, you still do business as usual. The only service they offer you is if you factor with them then they will process payments for you. But it is doubtful that you will be able to eliminate any expenses.
With Fundbox, you still do business as usual, you cannot eliminate any expenses.
With OnDeck, you still do business as usual, you cannot eliminate any expenses.
With Kabbage, you still do business as usual, you cannot eliminate any expenses.
With DSA Factors we allow you to choose which customers you want to factor invoices for. We don't require you to give us all of your business, and we have a very popular spot factoring program. At DSA Factors we have no credit limit so we can factor all of your invoices regardless of how much volume you have.
PayPal doesn't factor invoices; they also don't require that you use PayPal to process your payments. However, if you don't process payments through PayPal then you will have to payback PayPal manually and you won't qualify for another loan with PayPal in the future.
BlueVine allows you to choose which invoices you want to factor, but they also assign you a credit limit and won't advance you any funds over that limit.
Fundbox doesn't actually factor, but they will give you a loan based on receivables. You can choose which invoices you want to pull against, but they assign you a credit limit and won't advance you funds over that limit.
OnDeck doesn't factor invoices; they are giving you a loan. The loan is based on a variety of factors including your business's and your personal credit.
Kabbage doesn't factor invoices; they are giving you a loan. The loan is based on sales volume with select online retailers along with other online sources who you can provide them access to. So they are only able to look at your invoices with a small set of online retailers to determine a credit limit and interest rate.
DSA Factors will handle all of the credit checking for all of your accounts.
While your customers are required to make payments through the PayPal service, PayPal is only giving you a loan and are not concerned with your customer base.
Even though BlueVine claims to offer factoring and is funding you for your receivables, they offer recourse factoring and have no interest in your customers' financial strength. For this reason they do not provide any credit checks on your accounts. The funds they provide you with are based on your financial ability to pay back BlueVine in the event that your customers do not pay them.
While Fundbox will only fund you if you submit invoices to them through your accounting software, they are not factoring the invoices; the invoices are simply used as collateral on the loan they gave you. So Fundbox does not do any credit checking for you, and the automatic weekly repayments of the loan begin whether or not you have received payment from your customer.
OnDeck is only giving you a loan. They are not concerned with your customer base.
Kabbage is only giving you a loan. While they base the loan on a select group of online retailers and other online sources, they are not concerned with your customer base.
DSA Factors will handle all of your collection work. You no longer need to worry about making collection calls. DSA Factors also has greater leverage than you do in collecting, as we most likely factor for several other vendors who also sell to your customers.
Your customers must make payments through PayPal, but PayPal does not help with collections.
Your customers are required to make payments to a BlueVine drop box or bank account; however BlueVine does not help you collect. They may ask you to send out a letter of assignment to your customers, but even if you do, they still won't help you collect.
Fundbox is only giving you a loan based on receivables, they do not offer accounts receivable management.
OnDeck is only giving you a loan, they do not offer accounts receivable management.
Kabbage is only giving you a loan, they do not offer accounts receivable management.
DSA Factors is proud to offer non-recourse factoring to our wholesale clients, meaning that you're receivables are insured.
PayPal is simply giving you a loan based on previous sales. They do not offer credit insurance.
BlueVine does not insure your receivables, they only offer recourse factoring. If a customer doesn't send payment to them you are responsible for repaying BlueVine.
Fundbox may use your receivables as collateral on your loan, but they do not offer credit insurance.
OnDeck is only giving you a loan. They do not offer credit insurance.
Kabbage is only giving you a loan. They do not offer credit insurance.
DSA Factors has always been willing to work with startup businesses. We are proud that we have been able to help a large number of startups grow into much larger companies.
PayPal Working Capital requires you to have had a PayPal Premier or Business account for 3 months. You must have $20,000 in annual sales with a Premier account, or $15,000 with a Business account.
BlueVine requires a minimum of 3 months in business and revenues of $10,000 per month for factoring. For a line of credit you must have been in business for 6 months and have revenues of $10,000 per month.
Fundbox needs to connect to your accounting software to determine a credit limit for you and determine what your interest rate will be. As a startup business, if they are willing to approve you, you can expect a low credit limit and high interest rate.
OnDeck requires a minimum of one year in business and $100,000 in annual revenue. However, their average customer has been in business 7 years and has more than $450,000 in annual revenue.

How do we do all this at such a low price? Easy, at DSA Factors we don't receive millions of dollars from venture capitalists or IPO's. Instead we earned our money through hard work and dedication, just like you do. We also don't spend millions of dollars on advertising or computer software, and that money we aren't spending means that we can offer you financing at a much lower cost with better service than the larger fintech companies. If you really want to work with a company that understands small business, shouldn't they also be a small business themselves?

Now on display in the Visitor Center is the exhibit "Shining Examples: Silver from the McFaddin-Ward House Collection." In the tall case are featured coffee pots, pitchers, and tumblers. Specialized pieces for gracefully serving fish, toast, cheese, bone marrow and even the South American drink, yerba mate. Silver is both beautiful and practical once combined with just enough of another metal alloy to increase its durability. It made possible the creation of items like: a table crumber of intricate design, a ruler bedecked with flowers, and even a frame with Art Nouveau styled poppies. Also included, is a well-worn silver-plated spoon that is no longer symmetrical. We can only wonder if it was used by a cook to scrape the bottom of a cooking pan, or was used as everyday favorite, sparing the sterling pieces from ware. Also on display are two examples of 20th century place settings. Viewers can appreciate the ornate style of the repoussé "Baltimore Rose" pattern by the Heer-Schofield Co. and contrast it against the elegant colonial-revival simplicity of the "Mary Chilton" pattern by Towle Manufacturing Co.
Did you know society has not always associated the color pink with femininity? In 1918, the clothing company Earnshaw's Infants' Department rules that pink favors boys, because it descends from the strong and aggressive symbolism of red. As time progresses, however, color assignment lacks unanimity, with different regions advertising pink for both girls and boys.
Thus, pink would have been a suitable choice for the fashion-conscious McFaddin women, and perhaps we can view their extensive collection of pink as a reminder to their strong will and leadership. As refined hostesses, avid civil servants, and socially active women of the 20th century, Mamie and her mother, Ida, acquired an array of mementos that proved functional and pretty in pink.
The new display in the Visitor Center features pink objects from the McFaddin-Ward House Collection, hailing from countries like Italy, England, France, and China. Catch a glimpse of the charm and regality of the McFaddin women through Summer 2019.
Ida Caldwell McFaddin and her daughter Mamie McFaddin-Ward inherited certain fashion accessories, but they also followed the trends of their respective times. Clothing and accessories from 1880 to 1919 are shown in the exhibit as well as those from 1920 to 1959. Though made of various precious materials, all are shining examples of jewelry from the turn of the 20th Century.
The McFaddin-Ward House has recently installed two new display cases that will allow visitors to get closer to objects than they've ever been before. Brilliant, cool lighting in the cases highlight details of beads, gemstones, and craftsmanship. They sit below large portraits of Ida Caldwell McFaddin, the first lady of the house, and her sister, Ouida Caldwell Watts, who frequently visited. Future exhibits will often showcase items that belonged to the two. On exhibit now are "Purses and Accessories" that range in date from around 1900 to 1960, some engraved with the sisters' monograms. We invite you to come and experience these objects like you never have before!
In the last century, the tradition of writing was the main way to keep in touch with friends and family over long distances. Some writing implements and accessories from this era lent a certain luxury to this important social ritual that we relish, even today.
A dedicated letter writer, Ida McFaddin kept up with communication trends, and in the 1930s she purchased this portable Royal typewriter.
We can almost imagine Ida McFaddin, impeccably dressed, sitting at her writing table to compose a letter on her Royal typewriter. As she would have wanted everything "just so," we envision her there with this cup and saucer filled with perfectly-brewed tea. Crown Staffordshire China Company, Ltd., Burslem, England.
The act of sitting down to write a letter may be somewhat lost on younger generations, but we history-lovers cannot help but smile when a hand-written note comes in the mail on beautiful stationery. This hand-embroidered Montag writing paper belonged to Mamie McFaddin. Montag paper was popular during the 1950s and 60s and was often given for special occasions, or even Christmas.
No writing desk was complete without a beautiful pen. This Waterman's fountain pen, ca. 1920-30, had a metal "lever filler" on the reservoir.
This postal scale, ca. 1950, was made in England. Back before dashing off quick text messages or emails was possible, letters–oftentimes, very lengthy–were written, especially if there was a lot of news to include; often they took more than one stamp. This postal scale had counterweights that indicated the weight of the letter, letting the writer know how much postage to use to ensure that it reached its destination.


Q. Mr. President, what hopes do you have for any long-range help for urban areas like Los Angeles?
The President. We have some very good proposals out on the table right now, proposals that clearly have come of age. But we're going to be talking about that today and tomorrow. Today we're probably going to think more about what we can do immediately in the aftermath of this violence. And then tomorrow, we'll put it in a little longer term perspective.
But I'm very pleased that it's calmed down out there. And we will do everything we can to support the people out there, to make things tranquil, and then to help get to the core of the problems.
Q. Do you intend to visit any of the damage sites?
The President. We're talking now about the schedule. It will probably change from what had been planned. As you know, I planned a trip out there for some time, so it fits in very nicely. And we had a briefing this morning from the Attorney General, who's here, Deputy Secretary of Defense, and Dave Jeremiah about the Federal presence on the ground and the state of play on the ground. And now we're going to be talking with our top people here as to how our various Cabinet Departments can assist. And then we'll have people going out there, and by Thursday a schedule will be worked out where I will be able to meet with the key participants in this recovery and those who also have responsibility for the long run.
Q. Are you saying, Mr. President, you have no idea what the core of this problem is?
The President. No, I'm not -- didn't say that at all, Helen [Helen Thomas, United Press International]. I don't know how you could conclude that from what I just said. We have some very good ideas that we have out there that would have been extraordinarily helpful if they'd been put into effect. We think homeownership is a very good concept, and we've been fighting for it for a long time. So it's not that we have no idea whatsoever. I don't imagine how you could have concluded that from what I just said.
Q. You said you were going to look into the core of it.
The President. Well, we don't think we know all the answers. And I think you learn from every incident. As history shows, that after each one of these uprising, these things that have happened, people have taken a look to see what they could do to help. And certainly we're willing to do that. I feel obligated to do that. And it's not like we have no idea whatsoever. If people had listened to some of our Cabinet Departments up on the Hill, we might be a little further along.
Q. How soon would you hope to see U.S. troops out of Los Angeles?
The President. I want to go to work here. Thank you very much.
Note: The exchange began at 9:15 a.m. in the Cabinet Room at the White House. In his remarks, the President referred to D.E. Jeremiah, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

World's diamond districts nicked by falling dollar
By Andrea L. Woolard Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Lloyd Jaffe uses tweezers to pick up a slightly yellow diamond from a row of stones in a tray. ``I can't get many of the darker color stones,'' said the diamond dealer. ``If I could, I could sell them in this country,'' he explained as he put the stone back in place among the color gradations, which start at the letter D for colorless, go to I, where stones take on a yellow hue, and end at Z.
One reason Mr. Jaffe cannot get the darker stones, those in the J through M color range, is that these - and many other stones - are going to Asian buyers. ``Last year the Japanese buyers made the market in the United States,'' reports Joseph Schlussel, a broker and publisher and editor of the newsletter The Diamond Registry Bulletin. Diamonds are sold internationally in dollars.
With the lower value of the dollar, and the corresponding increase in the value of the yen, the Japanese are purchasing all types and qualities of stones. US diamond exports for the first three quarters of 1987 went primarily to Japan and Hong Kong, reports the American Diamond Industry Association (ADIA), of which Jaffe is chairman.
It was not always this way. Jaffe recalls times when the darker stones, in particular, did not appeal to American buyers, and diamond dealers did not want a lot of them in their inventories. Dealers are having a difficult time getting all the stones they want; he says that stones ranging in weight from 1 carat to 1.75 carats are in shorter supply. The industry's benchmark stone, the 1-carat, D-flawless, sold recently in the wholesale range from $14,000 to $17,000; in 1980, it had hit $64,000, when investors turned to diamonds as inflation hedges.
``The Japanese put their hands on whatever they can find and pay top dollar,'' particularly the D, E, and F stones, notes Avi Abramoff, vice-president of the Balance Trading Group Ltd.
The lower dollar has not been the only factor affecting the US diamond industry. The stock market's fall last October caused pre-Christmas jitters as dealers were preparing for the season, which in December 1986 accounted for 40 percent of the industry's yearly jewelry sales. In addition, DeBeers Consolidated Mines Ltd., the South African diamond cartel, has recently slowed the number of diamonds that reach the market.
``There's a shortage of certain goods in New York,'' Mr. Abramoff adds. ``I used to get 50 of one stone, and now I can only get 20 and I pay slightly higher prices.'' Buyers want stones of 1 carat or more, in the medium color range - F, G, and H - and with few flaws. ``These are always in demand, but the discount is shrinking.''
The New York market these days is clearly international, with the West Germans also buying because of the strength of the mark, Abramoff notes. ``It's a strange type of situation. The US is relatively soft, but stable, while demand in the Far East and Europe is strong. It's a foreign market,'' he concludes.
Still, the US imported diamonds in huge quantities in 1986, the most recent full year for which data are available. The ADIA notes that manufacturers and dealers imported almost 1.3 million carats of the rough, or uncut, stones worth $434 million. The number of cut-stone imports reached 7.8 million carats worth $3.02 billion. Importers paid on the average a per rough-carat price of $337 in 1986, up 11 percent increase over 1985.
The dollar's fall has had another effect on the US diamond industry: The currency has weakened to the point where more diamonds are being produced in third-world countries and cutting operations are springing up where labor costs are lower, Jaffe says.
Some production has shifted to Asia, because of lower labor costs; Hong Kong, Bangkok, and India have become big producers. ``You see major American companies moving overseas with large production. It creates weakness from our point of view, because that local market would compete with the US,'' Abramoff says.
In addition, the number of stones cut in China, Borneo, and Thailand has increased, although the diamonds are smaller. ``By maintaining lower cutting costs, diamonds are available to more people,'' Jaffe notes.
There are still some shock waves from the October market plunge. Before October the industry was booming, with heavy diamond production and strong buying for Christmas, Abramoff says. DeBeers reported last month that 1987 diamond sales climbed to $3.07 billion, a record figure that includes a 20.3 percent rise above 1986. Most of this gain occurred from January through October. Close to 50 percent of diamonds cut today are used in jewelry, and Americans account for more than one-third of the diamond-buying public, the ADIA says.
After the stock market fell, some US diamond importers became so anxious about Christmas selling that they shipped stones back to Israel, Abramoff notes. But the worst did not occur. ``People didn't stop buying luxury items. It was a very reasonable Christmas,'' he says.
Diamond production has slackened a bit, and DeBeers has been intervening in the market by holding back the number of rough stones it sells. Mr. Schlussel, the newsletter publisher, says prices had dropped between 10 percent and 15 percent since September. ``But it's been reversed in the last couple of weeks. The market is recovering,'' he says. In 1987 the Central Selling Organization (CSO), DeBeers's merchandising arm, raised prices 10 percent.
Schlussel estimates that within the last three months, DeBeers has cut its selling by 50 percent, and at times has stopped selling altogether. The Soviet Union has stopped selling for now, he adds. Countries stop selling if they think prices are too low to justify their production.
The almost 6,000 categories of rough, including synthetic, diamonds are distributed and sold at ``sights'' where brokers see how many diamonds the CSO has allotted them. Sights occur 10 times a year at five- and six-week intervals in London. The next sight is Feb. 22.
The CSO is responsible for fine-tuning the world's diamond supply. It sets prices and maintains a stockpile of diamonds, which Jaffe says has been estimated to be worth $1.8 billion. DeBeers markets and sells more than 80 percent of the supply through contracts with producing countries. The rest is marketed independently.
In 1986 Australia produced 32.5 percent of the world's rough diamonds, followed by Zaire, with 22.9 percent, and Botswana, with 14.5 percent.
