We're feeling sorry for you personally. Your firm is away from the service industry. Those are the lucky ones regarding inventory financing – there's no inventory! Unlike your company, which produces goods and carries inventory to satisfy customer order needs the services you provide firms don't have any storage needs!
In case your firm comes with an purchase of inventory then financing for your asset is frequently, otherwise always, vital. Financing via bank lines of credit for that inventory element of balance sheet is definitely difficult, otherwise in some instances impossible. Most business proprietors and financial managers realize that of the two major current assets ( receivables and inventory ) that banks prefer receivable, also known as a/r financing.
How do we finance your inventory, and do you know the needs to obtain this type of facility in position? In fact watch differs as well as your firm may have different groups of inventory – most generally they're recycleables, operate in progress, and handle goods.
Inventory financing in Canada is most frequently financed under an ABL facility. What's ABL is required our clients always ask. The acronym means asset based lending, and it is a specialized kind of financing that's mostly transported out by non bank institutions. Facility sizes have a tendency to vary from 250k or more, because it is not necessarily economical for those parties (your loan provider) for finance amounts much under that.
What you can do to manage, report, and buy inventory most economically are key motorists within an inventory financing decision produced by your inventory financier. What you can do to watch, stock, and convey and bill and collect would be the fundamental needs to have an inventory financing facility. We'd explain that oftentimes this facility includes a receivable component, because, naturally we all known, inventory flows right into a receivable which flows into… dare we are saying it… cash!
If you're not able to invest in your inventory correctly you are able to effortlessly enter into so what can best be call a ' cash trap '- and that is a bad trap to stay in. Typically each one of these 1000 dollars of inventory on hands will set you back between 150 and 250 dollars each year whenever you consider some apparent and never so apparent factors for example financing costs, storage, handling, insurance, and degeneration from the inventory which by its necessity can make you do a good thing write lower.
The irony is obviously that you could must much inventory or not enough, it is a balance act.
Whenever you arrange inventory financing you need to make sure you have reasonable amounts of product – so you have to concentrate on both financing cost and order costs.
For those who have inventory financing fast efficient turns are potentially more possible and also you annual transporting costs could be dramatically reduced- remember that the money you purchase inventory might be offer work elsewhere and in some cases earn, for instance, a minimum of 12% more in profits. This is a very typical number for any manufacturer.
Financing inventory is really a challenge – you would like so that you can make the most of volume discounts, but simultaneously limit neglect the in inventory while satisfying customer order needs. Whew! This is a real teeter totter no?!
Make contact with a reliable, credible and experienced business financing consultant who are able to show you through inventory financing in a fashion that supports your company and industry. Beating the inventory financing challenge is really a solid financial accomplishment.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (4: 05 P.M.) – Heavy fighting continues to rip through the provincial capital of Daraa as the Syrian Army carries out a major offensive against the Syrian al-Qaeda branch, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, and other FSA groups.
Today, the Army's assault targeted the anti-government militants in the city's Palestinian Refugee Camp; a longtime bastion for the hardline jihadists. For the first time, the government managed to enter the Camp and seize over 50% of its overall area, including the well-known neighborhood where several schools and education facilities are located.
The progress inside the rebels' stronghold was propelled by heavy and non-stop artillery and missile shelling as well as devastating airstrikes. Other rebel positions in Daraa al-Balad and Tareeq al-Sad (Dam Road) came under attack as well.
Pro-rebel sources mourned scores of militants who were killed in the battles, in addition to substantial loss in weaponries and equipment including 2 MLRS launchers, 1 artillery gun and 1 T55 tank.
Jihadi rebel groups responded to their dramatic collapse by a retaliatory and indiscriminate mortar attacks which targeted government-held districts, thus killing and injuring dozens of civilians, including children.
Well done SAA,keep up the good progress of taking more areas from terrorists!!!!

	We live in a world governed by states whose enduring importance and domination of contemporary politics has been strikingly underlined by their renewed activism in the face of a global economic crisis.Yet the very nature of states remains deeply contested, with a range of competing theories offering very different views of how they actually do or should operate. In the past this competition has lead to deep ideological conflict – and even to war. In this major new work, John S. Dryzek and Patrick Dunleavy provide a broad-ranging assessment of classical and contemporary theories of the state, focusing primarily on the democratic state form that has come to dominate modern politics. The authors' starting point is the classical theories of the state: pluralism, elite theory, Marxism and market liberalism. They then turn to the contemporary forms of pluralism prevalent in political science, systematically exploring how they address central issues, such as networked governance, globalization, and changing patterns of electoral and identity politics. They proceed to analyse a range of key contemporary critiques of modern states and democracy that have emerged from feminism, environmentalism, neo-conservatism and post-modernism. Each approach is carefully introduced and analysed as far as possible in relation to a common set of issues and headings. Theories of the Democratic State takes the reader straight to the heart of contemporary issues and debates and, in the process, provides a challenging and distinctive introduction to and reassessment of contemporary political science.

Q: NixOs Attribute Error with unstable package on stable release I'm trying to install material shell which is only in unstable right now.
I'm using the guide from the wiki to install a package from unstable along with this post on adding unstable without using a channel.
The configuration looks like:

  };

  # List packages installed in system profile. To search, run:
  # $ nix search wget
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [

MUMBAI (Reuters) - The independent directors of Tata Motors (TAMO.NS) gave board Chairman Cyrus Mistry a tacit nod on Monday, but stopped short of an outright endorsement, or picking sides in the power struggle within India's largest conglomerate.
In a vaguely worded release late on Monday, the independent directors of Tata Motors - owner of luxury automaker Jaguar Land Rover - backed Mistry's and company management's strategy saying that all decisions taken by the board of Tata Motors on strategy and operations had been "unanimous" and executed by the chairman and the management.
Mistry was ousted as chairman of Tata Sons, the holding firm that steers the $100 billion steel-to-software Tata empire, last month. Mistry has since been in a bitter public spat with Tata Sons and Tata family patriarch Ratan Tata, who has returned as interim chair of the group.
Tata Sons blamed Mistry's ouster on what it called a "breach of trust" and poor performance. Mistry in turn has faulted Tata Sons for poor governance structures and blamed Ratan Tata for many of the conglomerate's legacy issues.
The independent directors of Tata Motors did not give Mistry a unanimous public endorsement though, and opted to avoid taking sides in the feud.
A source close to Tata Sons told Reuters that an independent director brought forward a resolution at the Tata Motors board meeting on Monday, seeking to endorse Mistry in a similar manner as two other Tata group company boards, Indian Hotels (IHTL.NS) and Tata Chemicals (TTCH.NS), had done earlier this month.
The source admitted that the outcome however, was a setback for Tata Sons, which has already called for a number of special shareholder meetings to oust Mistry entirely from some of its group company boards.
Representatives for both Tata Sons and Cyrus Mistry were not immediately reachable for comment.
Mistry remains chair of several major Tata group companies including Tata Motors and Tata Steel (TISC.NS). And despite his ouster as chair, Mistry remains a board member in Tata Sons, by virtue of his family's 18.41 percent stake in the holding firm.
Tata Sons is roughly two-thirds controlled by Tata Trusts, a group of philanthropic foundations led by Ratan Tata.
The group last week axed Mistry as chair of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS.NS), a company in which Tata Sons owns an over 70 percent stake. But it has struggled to get him out from other subsidiaries where it only owns minority stakes.
The Tata Motors board met on Monday primarily to discuss the automaker's quarterly results. The company posted a net profit of 8.48 billion rupees ($125 million) in the three months ended Sept. 30. That compared with a net loss of 17.40 billion rupees in the same period last year.
Tata Global Beverages (TAGL.NS), will be the next company in the Tata conglomerate to report results this week. The board of Tata Global Beverages, which co-owns and runs Starbucks (SBUX.O) coffee stores across India, is set to meet on Tuesday. Mistry is also chairman of the Tata Global Beverages board.

About handstands
The handstand is the act of supporting oneself in an upright position, but using the hands and not the feet. Entertaining to watch and exhilarating to do, handstands give us the experience of having our world turned upside down with nothing more than the very basics of what we already have -- our bodies, and the Earth on which we live.
The practice of handstanding asks you to coordinate your strength, flexibility, and focus, not only on a physical level but on a mental level as well. The reward for this effort is an experience of balance. This sense of balance is often accompanied by a feelings of accomplishment, delight, and freedom.
Handstands are performed routinely in a variety of activities which share the common characteristic of treating work as play and play as work. Gymnastics, acrobatics, yoga, martial arts, parkour, and free running are included in these activities. While they may be distinguished by different intentions, philosophies, and purposes, these various activities all make room, in some way, for the practice of the handstand.
Our understanding of how it is possible to be free-standing while inverted is greatly informed by the law of gravity. Gravity defines not only our relationship with the Earth, but the relationship between all forms of matter with each other. One day, a space traveler will attempt to do a handstand on a celestial body other than Earth, and in that instant the world of handstands will be turned upside down.
About handstandseverywhere.com
The purpose of this website is to celebrate the fun of doing handstands everywhere. To capture this sense of fun, the website facilitates community-oriented spaces that explore the themes of physical activity, travel, photography, and writing. By documenting original and personal acts of human movement and expression, this website and its participants endeavor to promote health and wellness for both the individual and the Earth.
The website was created by handstand enthusiast Eugene Ahn and appeared on the Internet in the fall of 2006, about two years after Eugene tried his first handstand in a yoga class at Yoga Works' Center for Yoga in Los Angeles.
Q: How do I get to a page that shows all of the person's photos?
A: Easy. If you're looking for a page that shows all photos of a particular person doing a handstand, click on the Handstanders link in the main menu and then find the person's name in the list of handstanders. Underneath the person's name is a count of all that person's handstands. Click on that number.

Closing Circles
The penultimate instalment of my autobiography before I revert to my normal blogs
A year after Arthur Thomas's pardon, a Royal Commission condemned the policeman who'd planted the cartridge, and said Arthur should never have been charged. I sat through the weeks of testimony, crocheting a colourful rug from all the scraps of wool I had, and I think driving the male chauvinists around me quite mad!
I was back home towards the end when Patrick took time off from his office to hear the last stages of the inquiry which was all based on his findings. He rang and said they were being asked to put in a claim for what the investigation had cost them, and Jim Sprott was claiming $150,000. Patrick said it didn't feel right climbing on this bandwagon of claims… so I told him about the painter Whistler's damages of a farthing in England when he sued Ruskin for defamation in 1870, and suggested Patrick likewise claim a dollar – otherwise you'll be written out of the court's findings, I said.
So he did claim a dollar. Arthur was given a million dollars in compensation, and Patrick was rewarded with an OBE. The following year the Queen presented it to him, at the same time that my daughter received her Gold Medal from the Duke of Edinburgh
While all these dramas were playing out, I resigned as Woman's Editor of the Star, feeling that the increased attacks and hostility from feminists would lose their sting if I wasn't there, and the women's pages might become unmolested!
I took the children to England for a holiday, and when we returned took up writing my columns again, and was commissioned to write several books. I once calculated that fifteen years of writing two columns of a thousand words a week, probably added up to about 780,000 words, and that didn't include all the articles and interviews I wrote in that time as well. At least half as much again, I suspect.
A column which covered vivisection and the experiments and horrible operations that people like South African heart surgeon Dr Christian Barnard performed on animals, caused huge repercussions. It revived the moribund anti-vivisection society known as SAFE, (Save Animals from Experimentation) and Patrick and I became president and vice-president.
This column also triggered a big meeting of angry doctors at the Medical School at Auckland University where they reportedly discussed: 'What to do about Valerie Davies'. At the time I had also castigated the practise of every medical student having their own rat to kill – they bashed it on the table by holding its tail, before dissecting it.
They sent my article to Christian Barnard in South Africa, who'd become a high-living celebrity by then, and he responded by sue-ing me and the Star. The Star cravenly paid up the money he demanded, but I refused, telling my solicitor I'd rather go to jail. The children were devastated, and my son even had tears rolling down his cheeks when I explained what I was doing.
In the event my clever lawyer wrote told Barnard's solicitor that my defence would be that I'd found all the hideous boasts about making a two headed dog, and the screams of a baboon wrenched from his mate to take his heart for an experiment, in Dr Barnard's own autobiography, and a TV interview. We heard no more!
I continued writing columns that enraged people, writing of the barbaric treatment of calves in modern farming, to the use of 245T (a dioxin based pesticide) the indiscriminate felling of trees, and other environmental concerns. After a column on climate change and the ozone layer, a university professor wrote a scathing letter to the paper calling me a 'knee-jerk environmentalist', while a professor of paediatrics, rang me at home he was so furious when I wrote that babies should never be left to cry as it broke their trust in their parents.
Now all the research into brain function has proved me right. Child psychology preaches the benefits of cuddling and of feel- good pheromones connecting in the brain, and the dangers of cortisone building up in the brain if babies are left to cry, which leaves them prone to depression and a host of problems as they grow older…
Sometimes, in the rain and misery of the Springbok winter, traipsing in and out to the Royal Commission in the city- an hour's drive each way- struggling with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, living on willpower, not energy, seeing the miseries of modern farming as I drove past fields with bleak herds of cows deprived of their new calves, stopping the car to untangle desperate goats tied up and used as lawn-mowers on the road-side, I used to wonder what was wrong with me.
Why was I so out of step with everyone and everything? And then I discovered a group in England called Women for Life on Earth, and I knew I wasn't mad after all, and that my concerns were those of many others too. Knowing this restored my confidence and gave me heart. (This group morphed into the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, and their historic resistance to nuclear weapons.)
My illness had got worse. I couldn't bear light, and had tortoise shell rattan blinds on every window as well as curtains, I had difficulty understanding speech and used to exhort the children and my husband to speak clearly. I couldn't bear any music except formal baroque tunes, and was in constant pain.
Somehow, I kept up with driving the children around, having friends and Patrick's family to stay, his other four children and their friends for meals, walking the dogs twice a day, cooking decent nutritious food on time, fulfilling numerous speaking engagements – teachers conferences, school prize-givings, parents groups, schools, Rotary and other clubs, even the annual lunch of accountants – to mention a few – writing the columns which generated so much controversy and so many letters to answer, not to mention the dreaded housework. I paid the teenage children to help… my daughter to do the washing, my son to clean the bathrooms.
And at the end of this hard, sad winter we left our dream home in the country, where no-one had waved or spoken to us in over a year, and moved back to town, where friends welcomed us, strangers called in with fruit and flowers and cakes, and we felt we had come home.
A young, unprejudiced and open-minded woman doctor friend dropped in to see me, while I was having an episode of CFS. Mimi introduced me to Re-birthing, a system of connected breathing which was all the rage at that time, and this was a turning point for me. The breathing got me on my feet, and I was now strong enough to become involved with a personal growth group, Self-Transformation, which I helped to establish in this country.
It grew exponentially. This was the early eighties, when groups like EST were breaking down so many barriers, and people all over the world were ready to start their journey towards self-actualisation. Jung was often the starting point, his book and his theme 'Modern Man in Search of his Soul' in tune with the new age.
Abraham Maslow, Ken Wilbur, then Dipak Chopra, Jean Houston, Caroline Myss, one after another, names and techniques came crowding into our consciousness, and people like me couldn't get enough…meditation, yoga, Reiki, shiatsu, rolfing, holotropic breathing, aromatherapy, sweat lodges and other methods of bodywork we explored put us in touch with our emotional blocks and old traumas, and kept us busy for years.
Buddhism, the Essenes, Hawaian Kahunas, Shamanism, gurus from Ram Dass to Sai Baba, Raj Neesh, and the Dalai Lama held many in thrall – though gurus were not for me – and this is only to touch on a few of the influences, techniques and people who influenced my friends and I as we journeyed on. I sold most of my precious things to pay for all this… silver from my first marriage, oriental rugs I'd collected over the years, a precious French provincial table… it was worth it.
It was all a mystery to my husband, who called me a New Age Nutter, which didn't bother me at all. I tried often to explain what I was doing, and it didn't matter how often I did, he never understood or remembered.
He had a different journey. He had ten jobs in twenty years, travelling from radio back to newspapers, then magazines to public relations, radio again, magazines, to teaching journalism and back to newspapers, finally becoming editor- in- chief of a group of suburban newspapers when he was in his early seventies. They were years of financial insecurity, when he was badly paid, and I was glad to still have some money from my writing and then the counselling practise that I managed to operate for all those years until I was in my mid-seventies.
In every job he found, pressure would build-up, and he would be unable to see eye- to-eye with his boss, just as he had been so often at the Star. It's only as I look back that I realise that this was his modus operandi.
He'd come home and I'd sympathise and take on the angst and the anxiety. We moved house often, buying old wrecks which I restored and beautified, each time hoping that by reducing the mortgage or making life easier at home, with less travelling, or some other excuse, it would reduce his stress. It never did.
He had also become obsessed with Japan, and apart from writing books about it, studying its history and customs, and collecting anything Japanese, he became an expert on samurais, Japanese sword-play – kendo and eido- and antique Japanese swords, which were hugely expensive. He was always buying more and more precious ones, as he learned more and more about them, and went to Japan half a dozen times.
As my car fell to pieces, because we couldn't afford to replace it, he was 'investing' he assured me, in his swords, which would pay for our old age, so we didn't need to save or pay off the mortgage. I believed him.
And so we came to the end of our roads. As Paul Coelho wrote: "It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn't matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over."
Next week is the last instalment of this series. The Who-dun-it of the Thomas case will be told in an Appendix the week after that.
Food for Threadbare Gourmets
As we talked about our go-to puddings over a nice drop of affogato in our favourite restaurant, one of my closest friends asked me for the recipe for my hot chocolate sauce for ice-cream I was boasting about. This is for her.
It comes from good old Mrs Beeton, and my children loved it over ice-cream, while I serve it for guests now with pears baked in wine plus ice-cream.
Blend together a rounded dessert spoon of cornflour, two rounded dessertspoons of cocoa powder, and three rounded dessertspoons of sugar with a little cold water measured from half a pint. Boil the rest of the half pint of water and pour on the mixture. Pour into a saucepan and boil for two minutes, stirring all the time. Add three drops of vanilla and half an ounce of butter. Simple and delicious.

What IS so wicked about knitting?
Knitting was for old ladies or dowdy ones when I was a child. My stepmother and her friends, or anyone with pretensions to chic would not have been seen dead with a pair of knitting needles in their hands… tapestry, petit- point, yes, but not knitting needles… while as for a crochet hook… that belonged to the dark ages along with that funny little thing even older ladies used for tatting.
But knitting has a become deliciously domestically subversive activity these days, the latest yarn storming being perpetrated by a wonderful group of women, who are using knitting as their medium of protest… knitting against racism and sexism… which just about covers most problems of the western world, since these words are an umbrella for any number of ills, from poverty, lack of equal pay, discrimination etc etc.
This group of imaginative and courageous women meet at a coffeehouse on the south side of St Louis, where they discuss how to knit, purl and dismantle white supremacy. They are The Yarn Mission, a collective formed in October 2014 in response to the violence and police brutality in nearby Ferguson, Missouri.
They aim to "use yarn to promote action and change to eradicate racism, sexism, and other systems of oppression". Founded by CheyOnna Sewell, a PhD student in criminology, the group seeks to spark conversation about race and police brutality by engaging with curious passersby as they knit, all the while providing a comforting activity for beleaguered activists.
Their courage and their cause reminds me of the women of the Black Sash in South Africa… who though not knitters, wore a black sash to protest against apartheid for over twenty years, and who still work for the disadvantaged in their country. When meeting in groups was banned, these brave women stood alone with their banners and placards, lone figures of courage and conscience in a cruel world.
More recently, the KNAGs have evolved their own unique women's protest. KNAG stands for Knitting Nanas against Gas, and they, through their knitting and demos are trying to preserve their Australian countryside against gas drilling and other threats to the land, the air and the water of their regions. Knitting grannies – against big business and environmental destruction – mothers and matriarchs – are the conscience of the country.
Over thirty years ago the very name of a Welsh group who called themselves Women for Life on Earth, gave me comfort when I felt isolated and as though I was mad in a farming community where hard- hearted practises towards animals and the earth were accepted as normal.
These women were the start of another unique women's protest.
Women for Life on Earth evolved into the great woman's peace protest at Greenham Common. In 1981, thirty six women and mothers protested against the US nuclear missile base at Greenham Common and were inevitably arrested. The following year, 30,000 women gathered to demonstrate peacefully against nuclear war, holding hands around the perimeter of the base. And the next year, 1983, 70,000 women came to hold hands along the fourteen- mile stretch of road between Greenham Common, the Aldermaston Nuclear site and Burghfield, the ordnance factory.
This peaceful women's protest lasted for nineteen years, and during that time many women camped there for years… and were often arrested and frequently maligned in the media, parliament and everywhere else… Many mothers brought their baby's booties and tied them on the wire around the camp. The tiny flower-like knitted baby shoes hanging on the wire symbolised that this was a protest by mothers, who wanted to protect their children and make the world safe for them.
It made me cry when I read about it. It was a very feminine protest, in that it evoked so many of the deepest feelings of women and of men who oppose violence… emotions like tenderness, sharing, caring, peacefulness , acceptance, and a deep connection to the planet being pillaged by the masculine energies of the world.
And when they weren't linking hands around perimeter of cruise missile sites or getting arrested, what were these women doing? Knitting of course – a very centre-ing and meditative occupation when alone, and a very social one when in company. So it was fitting that a couple of years ago when a fourteen mile memorial march was made from Greenham Common past Aldermaston nuclear energy site to the ordnance factory site at Burghfield, it was marked by knitting.
For a year beforehand, knitters of the world, people from all over the globe had been knitting metre- long strips in pink wool, and on the day these strips were joined up the whole length of the march. Pink – the most gentle, peaceful colour in the spectrum, symbolising caring, feminine maternal energy.
In this subversive feminine warfare, wool against weapons, the colour pink has always played a role. In May 2006 in Copenhagen's main square, a World War II tank was covered from cannon to caterpillar tracks with more than 4,000 pink squares, woven together from the handiwork of hundreds of knitters as a symbolic act of protest against Denmark's involvement in the Iraq war, along with everyone else. Passersby stopped and helped sew the squares and cover the tank.
Knitting has had a long history of subversion… we all know about the fearsome Madame Defarge from 'A Tale of Two Cities", but in 1914 knitting also played a part in that war. Belgian officials encouraged elderly women to help in the war effort against the invading Germans.
BBC Radio 4 reported, "they would contact little old ladies who sat in their houses that happened to have windows that overlooked railway marshalling yards, and they would do their knitting and they'd drop one for a troop train, purl one for an artillery train and so and so on…" Because of this the official US and UK censors banned posted knitting patterns in the Second World War, in case they contained coded messages.
Even in my remote neck of the woods, we have our own yarn bombers, and even though their knitted graffiti is only fun, the fun police do their best to stamp it out. One Christmas, they knitted big red and white trimmed Santa hats for the two giant carved faces symbolising the sexes for the swept- up new public loos, only to have them whipped away the following day. But undeterred, the knitting subversives tried again, and this time their fun lasted a bit longer.
I caused raised eyebrows thirty years ago when I took my crochet into a long drawn out Royal Commission of Enquiry. I was using up scraps of wool, not on crochet squares but on one square which got bigger and bigger as the months went by. I watched with furtive amusement the veiled horror on the faces of the three judges on the first day as I sat among grave police and scientific experts, flaunting my coloured wools, and plying my crochet hook, and knew that most of the men were itching to tell me to take it away… they never dared try !
I was intrigued to discover a traditional knitting pattern in the English Guardian newspaper, entitled,' Knit your own purse grenade'. At the end of the bona fide instructions it tells the knitter how to assemble the pieces, ending with: "you are now ready to throw your grenade".
So knitting is not all it seems – it is much more than it seems, and a wonderful, wickedly mischievous way of making a stand. It's a potent protest against all the ills that plague us; perhaps most satisfyingly of all, it annoys the politically correct… because the subversive quality of knitting is so hard to pin down. What IS so wicked about knitting?
PS An ironic tail piece. My subversive uncle and aunt used to set up a soup stall and sell soup to the CND anti- nuclear disarmament marchers whose annual protest march passed their door. Over the years with the money they earned, they were able to subsidise a new women's wing at the local hospital, which the Queen Mother opened, and unwittingly congratulated my aunt on her fund-raising.
Two beloved grandsons with hollow legs for lunch today. Not having much time to prepare I did a quick and easy pudding… ice-cream with hot chocolate sauce. I couldn't lay my hands on my Mrs Beeton cook book recipe with my infallible hot choc sauce, so I improvised with this hot chocolate fudge sauce.
Place in a heavy- bottomed saucepan two ounces or so of butter, four heaped tablespoons of brown sugar and about half a cup of cream. Bring this to the boil and add two chopped up Mars Bar, or squares of black chocolate, a teaspoon of vanilla, and boil stirring all the time until the chocolate is melted. Let it boil a little longer stirring all the time and just re-heat when you want it… easy-peasy! I've also used Toblerone bars for this… just as good, and I would think some rum would be good for the right audience!
Our spiritual destiny is to be in the Right place at the Right time. Anon

CAMEO › Saul Chavez, El Gran Taco Loco
Saul Chavez, El Gran Taco Loco
Thanks to Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA) for sharing the stories of Hispanic entrepreneurs on National Hispanic Heritage Month!
"I felt like I had lost everything. When something like this happens, it's hard to stay positive." That's how Mexican immigrant Saul Chavez, co-owner of El Gran Taco Loco with his spouse Angelica Quezada, describes his emotions following the destruction of his commercial space in the Mission and 29th streets fire in June 2016. Chavez' popular Mexican food eatery was located on the first floor of the Graywood Hotel, which suffered severe damage in the conflagration.
Saul felt very sad over his loss. The space was a mess from water damage. His electrical items — large and small — were all destroyed. It was also a loss for the community. El Gran Taco Loco had served up to 350 customers a day, regulars enjoying a menu that ran the gamut from tacos and tortas to steak fries and carne asada.
Saul's depression increased when the owner of the commercial space decided to break the lease due to a clause that allowed either party to do so in situations where the property would not be functional for a specified period of time. That meant El Gran Taco Loco would lose its home of 12 years, with the landlord taking the opportunity to remodel and later ask for the much-higher rents the neighborhood's Mission Street commercial corridor can now demand.
Once the initial depression over his loss had passed, it was time for Saul to take action. He was determined to somehow reopen his business and once again provide for his family. When he heard of a space available in the Excelsior — a space twice the size of his former location and for about the same rent — Saul seized the opportunity. He knew that such commercial rentals go fast in San Francisco.
"You have to jump on it quickly or it's gone before you know it," explains Saul of the urgency. That urgency translated to Saul applying for and receiving the $10K maximum available from the San Francisco Small-Business Recovery Fund. In July of that year, the City had granted MEDA the right to be the sole overseer of this fund. There was $50K total disbursed to five small businesses involved in the June 18 fire in Bernal Heights.
Saul then tried to obtain an SBA loan. After filling out the needed paperwork, he was advised that such loans were more geared to owners of commercial properties, not renters. Needing more capital for supplies and to remodel his new space, Saul toyed with the idea of borrowing money from family, but he decided against such a problematic plan and instead came back to MEDA for help.
"The case of El Gran Taco Loco exemplifies why MEDA started Fondo Adelante. Saul and Angelica had suffered a tragedy, and these hardworking entrepreneurs had been denied a loan. They deserved the opportunity to get back on their feet," states MEDA Business Lending Manager Diana Matei-Golopenta.
Fondo Adelante was launched in 2015 to provide access to capital for community-based businesses that may not be able to garner a loan at conventional financial institutions. Loans of $5K to $100K are available to small businesses throughout the nine-county Bay Area.
Saul was offered a $70K Fondo Adelante loan — at lower interest rates than he could get from traditional financial institutions. Now with the money to get his business going once again, Saul was able to hire more employees and opened November 1, 2016, in his Excelsior location at Mission Street and Brazil Avenue. This showcases how Fondo Adelante is building community capital.
"I am so grateful to MEDA's Fondo Adelante. I can now talk about the experience of the fire like it was a life lesson. I am positive about my family's future once again, " sums up Saul.

US DOE motion to withdraw Yucca license "with prejudice"
Nuclear Monitor Issue:
Mary Olson, NIRS Southeast
maryo@nirs.org
NIRS Southeast
March 3, 2010 will hopefully mark the real beginning of the end for the failed nuclear waste dump proposed for Yucca Mountain on Western Shoshone Land in Nevada, more than 30 years ago. The US Department of Energy (DOE) filed a motion with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that would withdraw its application for a license to build and operate a nuclear waste repository with the added stipulation that the NRC rule not only to let DOE withdraw, but to do so with prejudice, meaning that there could be no future application for the site.
This action not only spells a clear intention by the Obama Administration to deliver its promise to kill the site, it actually grants a 1998 petition made by Nuclear Information and Resource Service and signed by more than 200 organizations calling on the Secretary of Energy to disqualify the site since it was known at that point it could not meet a key site suitability criteria on ground water travel time. The DOE motion effectively grants the NIRS petition, 12 years later.
In response to the DOE motion to withdraw its application for a license with prejudice, a number of entities have filed motions to join the licensing proceeding in order to object to the DOE action including: the States of South Carolina and Washington, the County of Aiken in SC, and a business association based in the Hanford, WA area. It is rumored that other entities including the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) are considering similar action. Their arguments against the NRC granting DOE's motion are based on a very thin reading of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act which requires that the Secretary of Energy make a license application for Yucca Mountain, but failed to anticipate a situation where that license might be withdrawn.
In addition, a growing number of lawsuits have been filed which argue a very tenuous thread which assumes that since a dump application was submitted a dump license will be granted. Taking that assumption as the basis of both "standing" and also the "harm" that DOE's action would cause, various South Carolina entities are arguing that not building Yucca will harm the people of South Carolina, even to the point of diminishing property values because of radioactive waste generated in SC staying there; no mention is made of the massive, long-term storage of radioactive wastes at Savannah River Site (SRS). Ironically, many of these same entities are boosters for the idea of a reprocessing center at SRS.
Since the NRC has the power to determine this outcome, this will be a turning point for that agency: is it simply a "rubber stamp?" or is it capable of policy determinations. Unfortunately, until there is a change in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, no one can officially declare this dump dead, however a ruling in favor of DOE's motion to withdraw the license with prejudice would go a long way in that direction.

The Mannen-Cho area of Devil Summoner 2 is apparently an area populated mostly by gamblers and crossdressers. After first arriving in this area, the player meets a character labelled simply "prepping crossdresser" (image below) who laments: "I exposed my unshaven face to him! Alas! How cruel fate can be to one such as I…" (according to this walkthough).
When the player is chasing down Tatsumi, they run into an NPC who is labelled "Crossdresser" (image below).
Down the street, the player-character runs into another character ambiguously called "glamorous man," who is dressed in a similar manner to the crossdressing character (image below).
The former refers to herself as a lady, though it is unclear if that is an indication of the NPC's gender identity, given the "crossdresser" label. There is also nothing in the "glamorous man's" dialogue to indicate his sexuality or gender identity.
If the player uses a skill order demon to examine the "crossdresser," they will obtain the character's hair and be able to transform into the NPC (i.e., transform into a crossdresser themselves). The hair is reportedly labelled "Kamanari's Hair," but the player only finds out this character's name through this process. At other point in the game Kamanari gives the player character a case file.


What a difference 12 months makes - our State Treasurer did a turnaround last week announcing in the week prior to his second budget that QLD will introduce a 3% surcharge of stamp duty for Foreign purchasers of residential property. This time last year the message was about increasing QLD's competitiveness for Foreign investment dollars and assurances that no surcharge would be imposed. Clearly the VIC government have been spruiking about what a money spinner its been!
The Treasurer's comments around wanting foreign investors to contribute to infrastructure and services that they receive the benefit of - are frankly a bit of a joke. Weren't they already paying the same as all other investors before? - So what justifies Foreign investors contributing more than domestic investors to local infrastructure and services?
I think there is naivety in selling this as a surcharge that will not impact Queenslanders. When foreign investors choose to take their capital elsewhere - this is not good for Queensland. Particularly at a time when there is nervousness around the level of apartment supply coming to the market, throwing an additional obstacle like a surcharge at foreign investors is not going to assist those currently marketing projects overseas.
Foreign investors would now have to pay an additional $10,962 on top of the existing $11,214 in transfer duty for a $365,000 house or apartment. "This will ensure foreign purchasers of residential property, who benefit from government services and infrastructure, make a contribution to their delivery – as local buyers do," Mr Pitt said. We are confident this surcharge – that does not affect Queenslanders – will also not affect the interest foreign investors have in sharing our state's economic strengths. "Property Council of Australia Queensland executive director Chris Mountford said it was a broken promise because the Treasurer emphatically ruled it out in May last year following Victoria's decision."The Treasurer has previously committed to making Queensland the most attractive state for foreign investment, now he is looking to abandon this competitive advantage in the search for more revenue,"

STARKVILLE, Miss. - The only thing longer for the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team than their 10-inning loss to Mississippi State will be the bus ride home to Nashville.
Twice the Lady Bisons fought back Sunday. They used a two-run home run from Mickey Bell to tie the game at two in the fourth inning and a solo shot from Kristen Sturdivant in the sixth to knot the game at three.
In the 10th, it was necessary to implement tie-breaking rules which meant each team would start with a runner at second. Heather Montgomery got the call for the Lady Bisons and advanced to third on a wild pitch. But she was left stranded.
Mississippi State, from the Southeastern Conference, won the game in the 10th. Jessica Offutt was placed at second. Ashley Phillips led off the inning with a single to third base that moved Offutt to third. Logan Foulks singled up the middle to score Offutt for the 4-3 win.
"It is frustrating," Lipscomb coach Kristin Ryman said. "The craziest part about the game was we played really good defense.
The loss was the fifth in a row for the Lady Bisons who started the season with a 3-0 record.
In the fourth inning Haley Elliott had reached base on lead-off single up the middle. She was replaced on the base paths by Brianne Welch who scored on Bell's homer, her first on the college level.
Two pitchers, left-hander Stephanie Becker and right-hander Alison Owen, combined were both effective. They struck out a total of 21 Purple and Gold batters, a school single-game record for Mississippi State. Owen recorded 14 strikeouts in six innings after relieving Becker.
"We really struggled hitting-wise," Ryman said. "That is where we have to go back to work this week. We are swinging blindly right now. We have lost our sense of confidence at the plate.
Right-hander Tanner Sanders started for the Lady Bisons. She pitched 2.1 innings, allowing four hits and two runs, both earned. She walked two and struck out three.
Heather Parker, also a right-hander, relieved Sanders in the circle in the third inning. Parker, 1-2, pitched seven innings. She scattered eight hits and gave up two runs, one earned. She struck out four and did not walk a batter.
"We got really good pitching out of Heather Parker," Ryman said. "She gave us a really great chance the rest of the way.
It was the first extra-inning game of the season for both the Lady Bisons and Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are 6-3 for the season.
The tournament schedule continues for the Lady Bisons. LU travels to Chattanooga Friday for the Frost Classic at Tennessee-Chattanooga. The Lady Bisons will face Missouri State at 12:15 p.m. and close out the first day with Chattanooga at 5:45 p.m.
Saturday the Purple and Gold face Ohio at 10 a.m. followed by Niagara at 2:30 p.m. They will close out the classic Sunday at 9 a.m. against Miami-Ohio.
"We are going to focus on the little things and try to get back on track," Ryman said. "It was a rough weekend. We don't want to sit and pout. Everybody has to be accountable. We have to move past it quickly.

NewsHillsborough County
TPD officer hurt in the Tampa Bay shooting spree out of the hospital and recovering at home
A police officer was taken to the hospital after being shot by a male suspect in Tampa.
By: Isabel Rosales
TAMPA, Fla. — A police officer was taken to the hospital after being shot by a man who is suspected of going on a shooting spree across different parts of Tampa and in Hillsborough County Thursday night.
According to the Tampa Police Department's Jamel Lenee, 31-year-old Antonio Cruz Ortiz was driving around shooting at other cars and people. TPD said Ortiz was firing at random and children were present in one of the shootings.
Patricia Graham tells ABC Action News she had just finished dinner when she saw the suspect speeding through her apartment complex.
"He got out of his car started shooting into a crowd," she said.
Graham wasn't hurt but made sure to look him right in the eyes and memorize every inch of his face.
"Terror, terror. It was scary. [He was] Very angry, very angry and all I could think is why didn't he shoot me?" she said.
At one point, Ortiz opened fire at moving cars on I-275, Lenee said.
Lenee said Ortiz later opened fire at a TPD officer. The officer was taken to the hospital before he was eventually allowed to head back home and rest.
On Friday morning, the sheriff's office said it identified at least 11 additional victims as being shot at in various locations.
Fountain Mist Drive and Tadpole Lane - Deputies say five victims were shot at by a passing vehicle in the area, none were struck.
Lambright Street and Dale Mabry Hwy - One victim was shot at, but not hit, within his vehicle. The bullets flattened the tires, deputies say.
Lambright Street west of Himes Avenue - One victim was shot at, but not hit, within his vehicle. The vehicle was hit.
Sligh Avenue West of Habana Avenue - Four victims, two adults and two children, in one vehicle were shot at. The adult victims in the front seats were hit, deputies say their injuries are not life-threatening. The two children in the back seats, ages four and two, were not hit.
The TPD officer, who wasn't identified, is 24 years old and had been with the department for about a year, according to Lenee.
Lenee said officers on the scene never returned fire. She said Ortiz's arrest saved lives.
"He was a danger to the community. Lives were saved tonight." Lenee said.
Smily Diaz witnessed his arrest. It happened just a floor above her unit at the Park Terrace Apartments,.
"You could hear cops running up, banging and yelling 'Get down on the floor'" she described.
Ortiz is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm (x7), attempted second-degree murder (x4), and shooting at an occupied vehicle (x3).
"We are thankful that through coordinated efforts with the Tampa Police Department, we were able to locate this dangerous individual who put so many lives at risk by shooting at random," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "This is still a very active investigation, and we are working to determine why this person acted in such a violent manner. The pain he has caused his victims, including a Tampa Police Officer, and his reckless disregard for human life is unacceptable. He will be charged to the fullest extent of the law for his actions."
Graham says she feels relief he was arrested before someone else got hurt.
"Very disturbing. I don't understand people. There's too much of that going on in the world," she said.

Game of Thrones Season 6: What about Trystane?
With fans yet to overcome the shock of Jon Snow's death, it is easy to forget about the numerous other storylines that also ended with cliffhangers, especially if the storyline is as uninteresting as the Dorne plot in the show.
Like most of the fans, we are still in denial about Jon Snow's death and won't give up hope on his resurrection, at least not until the end of season 6, despite the fact that his death has been confirmed to Mr. President, Barack Obama. However, actor DeObia Operei (Areo Hotah of Dorne) insists that there are far more pressing matters for us in season 6- particularly, the fate of Trystane Martell (Toby Sebastian).
In the Season 5 finale, Trystane was on board the ship to King's Landing with her fiancé Myrcella Baratheon and her 'funcle' Jaime Lannister. But, Myrcella was poisoned by the Sand Snakes and died immediately after she revealed to Jaime Lannister that she knows that he is her father. Of course, viewers know who the murderers are but Trystane doesn't which leaves him in a predicament and which is why Operie believes that this could very well be the biggest non-Jon Snow reveal of the new season:
"He is on the boat there with a poisoned Myrcella. What are they going to do with him? Are they going to kill him? Are they going to take him back to King's Landing and kill him? What's going to happen to him, and then how does that impact Dorne? Is there going to be war, because our boy's on that boat sailing into danger? So for me, I think that's a really great question."
Myrcella's death and as a matter of fact, the entire Dorne storyline was overshadowed by the events at Castle Black. Considering that the Dorne storyline was the weakest part of Season 5, D&D may try to freshen it up a bit by putting Trystane in the hot seat during the next season. Or they may abandon it altogether with Trystane absconding the ship overnight on a boat to nowhere (We miss Gendry!). What do you think? Let us know in comments.

Jack in Poland
Jack Watson
I spent 9 months in Poland, living and volunteering with 4 others volunteers from across Europe, but was it worth it?
I travelled to schools across the region to talk to young people, inspiring them to get involved in volunteering projects close to home and hopefully, some projects like EVS that take place far away. I organised weekly workshops inside our Volunteer Centre, teaching English at an intermediate level and also coordinated a roundtable discussion of current affairs, discussing topics as simple as travelling to challenging ones like abortion law. I helped in the organisation of bigger events like the city sport festival and in our final week, a Human Library event that aimed to reduce stereotypes and prejudices and challenge people to think in a different way about marginalised groups of society. On the odd occasion, I was simply a volunteer helping with small, random tasks like walking dogs at a shelter or talking to the elderly for a day at a retirement home. In full, I am a changed person who sees the value in small, meaningful acts that hopefully can make a difference, even if just to a single individual. European Voluntary Service is, in all respects, a wonderful, enlightening and immersive experience and now that I'm home, I wish it could have lasted just that little bit longer.
It is not only the work that makes this experience so fantastic. That too can be attributed to the little experiences that I had, that at the time may not have seemed significant, but in retrospect all combine to make me realise how honoured and privileged I am to have had this opportunity. From exposing myself to Polish cinema, listening to Polish hip-hop and traditional folk music, attending the philharmonic in Kielce, celebrating Kielce's European handball success and to a theatre production in Wroclaw, I have tried to really deeply engage with all aspects of Polish culture. Additionally, it is not only Polish culture which I have learned new things about. By travelling to Ukraine and having a Macedonian housemate, I have tried to understand the Cyrillic alphabet for the first time. By attending the African History workshops of my housemate, I have continued to learn and explore more about the world. By listening to French conversations, I have become motivated to relearn the language and be involved as an active European citizen. In talking about my own culture and background, I have learned more about the United Kingdom and how people relate to my country.
On the whole, European Voluntary Service was a beautiful experience. I will always remember small moments, from singing a Spanish karaoke song in a bar and receiving a round of applause from the Polish audience, to watching the Eurovision Song Contest and Euro 2016 and having five new countries that I want to win, to hitchhiking with people who could not speak any English yet we still connected. I have met people from across the world, and been inspired in return to continue travelling, to continue learning and to continue developing as an individual and express myself as the person I want to be. It was, I can promise you, worth it.
