C Innenbad mit Lichtstimmung (c) Therme Vals
The beauty of presence
From the Werkraumhaus to the spa in Vals – blend naturally into the landscape.
Peter Zumthor
Star architect Peter Zumthor from Switzerland
Peter Zumthor attempts to get as close to nature as possible with his designs – the intention is to create surroundings
Design, function and beauty overlap. So much so that they cannot be separated into their individual components… That's what architect Peter Zumthor once said. And indeed: his structures – from the Werkraumhaus to the spa in Vals – blend naturally into the landscape.
"For as long as I can remember, I have always experienced the beauty of man-made structures as a special presence of form, as a natural and self-confident existence that is specific to the build," he wrote in his book "Thinking Architecture". "Sometimes, particularly when a structure of this type is able to assert itself in the natural landscape, I see beauty. The structure, town, house or street then looks as if had been installed with intent. And it is this that creates a place. There is a front and back where it stands, a left and right, there is proximity and distance, an inside and outside, there are shapes that focus, compress or process the landscape. Surroundings are created."
For as long as I can remember, I have always experienced the beauty of man-made structures as a special presence of form, as a natural and self-confident existence that is specific to the build
Peter Zumthor in his book "Thinking Architecture"
Light (and lit) – the Kunsthaus in Bregenz
This special ability of approximating nature with buildings, of creating a new space without noisily intervening in the existing structure, is what makes this Swiss architect's work so unique. Nature is repeatedly awarded the starring role although no cast is like any other. In the Kunsthaus Bregenz, for example, light has been given the lead. The semi-transparent structure lights up in different ways depending on the time of day. It was when Zumthor designed the building 15 years ago that he first experienced the outstanding quality that the trades in Vorarlberg are able to deliver. He has since worked with many tradespeople in his projects. It's no coincidence, for example, that with the Werkraumhaus he created a special place for the trades in the Bregenzerwald. Here, it is all-round transparency that permits the landscape to flow through the building.
The reduction in stone that Peter Zumthor employed to build the spa in Vals in Switzerland makes the structure appear as if it has been hewn from the mountainous mass. The summer pavilion that the architect realised for the Serpentine Gallery in London in 2011 made visitors "work" before they were able to grasp the facets of nature: they were led down a path through cave-like passages into a paradisiac atrium.
Zumthor has refined his respect for "what's around" to such a level of mastery that visitors get the impression that his designs have always existed. "Each structure is an intervention into a historic situation," wrote Peter Zumthor.
It is decisive for the quality of this intervention whether it is possible to imbue the new with features that are able to enter into a meaningful exchange with what is already there.
"Because for the new to be able to assume its place, it must first encourage us to see what already exists with fresh eyes. You're throwing a pebble into the water. Sand whirls up and settles again. The disturbance was necessary. The stone has found its place. But the pond is not the same as it was before."

My 600-lb Life: Where İs Charity From My 600-lb Life Now?
Viewers of the TLC My 600-lb Life docu-series almost always cheer for the successes of patients trying to change their lives and heal with the assistance of Dr. Now. Few patients have been as memorable as Charity Pierce, who went through enormous difficulties during her time on the show.
From dealing with her mother's death, to finding out her boyfriend was cheating on her with her sister, to dealing with the guilt that her daughter was following in the footsteps of weight gain, Charity faced numerous obstacles during her first appearance on the show.
Where's Charity from My 600-lb Life now? She appeared in the spinoff of the show Where Are They Now, and is still active in her weight loss journey.
In Where Are They Now, cameras captured Charity and Charly while they were still living in Houston, Texas. The charity had, in total, lost 513 pounds, and weighed 265 pounds.
For her part, Charly had lost 95 pounds, and she weighed 295 pounds. She and Charly decided they would return to Iowa once they achieved their weight loss goals, but they still wanted Dr. Now to approve them for skin removal surgery. But he wouldn't do that until they weighed less than 200 pounds each.
But her relationship with Charly soon deteriorated and Charity developed a drinking problem. Charly walked away from the situation and went back to Iowa because she was afraid that her mother's setbacks would affect her weight loss journey.
Since its appearance on Where Are They Now, Charity has had some further setbacks in health. In a Facebook post on March 2020, she said she was diagnosed with kidney cancer the previous December.
"To update everyone… I found out at Christmas I had kidney cancer. It devastated me because my mother died of brain cancer. So since Christmas I've had a lot of anxiety and panic attacks. After many tests and a million doctor's appointments they realized that the cancer was only in my kidney," she wrote in her post.
"The next step was to have my kidney removed as soon as possible before it had a chance to spread to other organs in my body. So, on March 2nd, my kidney was removed. And now I'm recovering at home trying to heal," he continued. "I just hope the future holds something good."
In her most recent Facebook updates, Charity has posted photos of her continuous weight loss. Although she has not explicitly said what her current weight is, it is clear that she is keeping her promise to leave the past behind.

Over the past few years while developing the open-source music player pianod, I've worked with a number of different media-handling libraries. Based on these experiences, I'm writing this document to help other software authors choose the most appropriate package for their needs.
1. AVFoundation (OS X)
2. ffmpeg
3. libav
4. gstreamer
Language: Objective C or C++, with Swift bindings
Platform: Apple stuff only
Documentation: Good, but no source code
Support: StackOverflow
Reliability: Good
API stability: Excellent
Type safety: Mediocre (Objective C; Swift is probably better)
Bizarreness: Inside an OS X app, none. Using it against a console app, some.
AVFoundation is Apple's AV solution. It's got decent documentation including how-to cookbooks, including some sample code. Most of it snapped together really easily; I had audio output in under 2 hours.
However, detecting end-of-track was another matter. If I'd been working with Apple's AppKit or UIKit frameworks, I probably would have been fine—but I just wanted an AV solution and didn't need any UI to go with it. But AVFoundation uses some services, including notifications, which are dispatched through the application frameworks.
The upshot is, you can't just use AVFoundation in isolation and expect it to work. You will need to run the application under AppKit or UIKit, even if you just fork a thread off from a applicationDidFinishLaunching delegate.
Platform: Cross-platform
Documentation: References for codecs and muxers, a good Doxygen, a few sample projects, and the source code
Support: Mailing list, StackOverflow
Reliability: Superb
API stability: Ok
Type safety: Very good
Bizarreness: Extern "C".
ffmpeg is a beast of an API to work with, with limited documentation, but it's rock-solid. The API gradually evolves and you will have to occasionally update/#ifdef code to deal with different versions. The changes seem pretty nominal, and there's a transition period.
ffmpeg's idea of learning is to go cookbook off the sample project code. There is, unfortunately, no overview explaining what the hell any of these things do, how they work or how they're supposed to fit together. This would really go a long way to helping neophytes understand the sample code, and prevent misunderstanding which plagued the project and annoy the developers, because don't you know you're not supposed to do it that way? Even though that way is a pretty reasonable conclusion to make from the examples and the code.
A few things I've learned:
The "codec" member provided in a stream is for provided for reference when creating a codec. Allocate a new context, copy it, and use that. You're not supposed to use the member directly for your codec.
Codecs are completely unassociated with streams. Your app code moving data between them is what connects them.
Use the Doxygen, which links from extracted docucomments to file/line in the code and back. But, make sure you're looking at the right version—they have Doxygen editions for releases going back to 0.6. After Googling a certain function, check the URL to make sure you're looking at the expected version.
The biggest pitfall of this library is that the header files don't contain conditional extern "C" { / } bracketing their header files for use with C++. If using C++, you'll need to put these around your includes for this library, or your code won't link.
Documentation: Poor, a broken Doxygen, a few sample projects, and the source code
Support: low-activity Mailing list
Reliability: Mrrr
API stability: No
This fork of ffmpeg was supposed to make things better, but I'm doubtful it has. Their Doxygen is screwed up, making it hard to understand their code and APIs. While initially very compatible with ffmpeg, the API has diverged significantly and has created problems where it'll compile, but behave differently because run-time options are handled or requested differently. The apparent-but-not-actual similarity makes libav hazardous, and I had poor response when asking for clarifications on their mailing lists.
Debian ditched libav in favor of ffmpeg in July 2015, for considered reasons.
Language: C, with bindings to C++ and other languages
Documentation: An excellent manual with explanation of the design, a "hello world" example, and some samples. Website has decent references (may/may not be Doxygen, but similar).
Support: StackOverflow, didn't try mailing lists
Reliability: Occasional crash
API stability: Yes
Type safety: No
Bizarreness: Reference counting, leaks in C, lots of packages
gstreamer's excellent manual explains how it all fits together, and makes it look like it was all carefully planned out. Coupled with the modular design, gstreamer's API has been very stable over the long term.
The downside is that it's built on G_Object, which to my eye looks like they were trying to replicate the design of NextStep/Cocoa without using Objective C. I think this comes out of the idea that if it's written in C, it'll run anywhere because C is ubiquitous. But this all comes with a price: lots and lots of ugly, unsafe pointer crap.
Object oriented languages understand is-a relationships. So a pipeline is a bin, and a bin is an element. But C doesn't know this; a pipeline is a pipeline, a bin is a bin, an element is an element. So when you need to perform an element action on a pipeline (which is valid, because a pipeline is a bin), you coerce types and lose the type safety provided by the compiler.
Properties do these too. To keep the API the same across different modules ("plug-ins" in gstreamer parlance), properties are set via key-value pairs. The key is a string, the property is… well, it could be an int, a double, a pointer. It depends on what you're setting. Just be sure to pass the right thing, because it's totally unchecked and if you do it wrong the property won't get set right.
The C++ wrapper (gstreamermm) fixes a lot of this, but has troubles of its own: it's not documented well, glibmm has its own string type, property values go in containers that are a hassle and proved to be buggy, it's not always available via package managers and installing it requires more dependencies (glibmm, giomm, gstreamermm on top of the usual glib, gstreamer, gst-plugin-base, gst-plugin-good and possibly gst-plugin-ugly).
Another issue is that under the hood, gstreamer uses a special memory allocator, GSlice. Unfortunately, the shut-it-off mechanism just reverts to g_malloc, not the system-native malloc. So when I enable awesome memory troubleshooting tools (Guard Malloc, Leaks) they don't work with gstreamer.

Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) is one of Germany's oldest and largest social welfare organisations. ASB has over 200 offices in Germany and a membership of 1.1 million. Core activities include the provision of public medical and rescue services alongside an extensive range of social service provision. Overseas, ASB's Foreign Aid Department operates mainly in the fields of humanitarian relief, return and reintegration, development and disaster risk reduction (DRR).
ASB Indonesia and the Philippines aims to build resilience through inclusive and risk aware development. ASB has been working in Indonesia, in partnership with the Indonesian Ministry of Home Affairs, since 2006. In Indonesia ASB works directly with partners and communities, and in support of government, to empower and build resilience through an inclusive whole-of-community approach. A key component of the work that ASB does across the region is implementing and promoting inclusive risk aware practice. ASB is also a founding member of the Disability Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction Network (DiDRRN).
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFFDRR) and 2030 Agenda place risk management central to resilience. Risk prevention and reduction are increasingly recognised as central to development alongside an ongoing emphasis on preparedness for response in the SFDRR. At the same time, a broadened understanding of risk management, under the umbrella of resilience, is proving challenging to governments. The challenges lie in integrating key development components, such as income generation for the poor, alongside improved preparedness initiatives.
The project 'Strengthening of DRR capacities and resilience of coastal communities in West Sumatera, therefore, seeks to link socio-economic development activities and risk management to reduce underlying risk factors in two districts in West Sumatera, Pesisir Selatan and the Mentawai Islands. The project key components include capacity building for community through institutionalised and practical integration of preparedness and livelihood development measurements. The inclusion of most at-risk groups, i.e. women, older people and persons with disability in the project implementation will serve as social cohesion contributor to strengthen community resilience. The project will also seek to support governance capacities in the two working areas.
The project will seek synergies with government planning and programming where possible and promote greater emphasis on risk management and inclusion of highly at risks in line with the National Resilient Village Programme priorities.

Arsenal have completed the signing of young Greek defender, Konstantinos Mavropanos from PAS Giannina for a fee in the region of £1.8 million.
The 20-year-old defender broke into the first team of the Super League side this season, after impressing towards the end of last season.
Mavropanos already attracted interest from Olympiacos and Arsenal, with the Premier League side winning the race for his signature.
Reports have it that Arsenal's new chief scout, Sven Mislintat has a personal relationship with the player's agent, which played a key role in the signing.
Mavropanos would follow his compatriots Panagiotis Retsos, Kostas Manolas and Sokratis Papastathopoulos to Europe where the hope is that he develops into a ready-made Premier League player in the coming seasons.


Once you have decided to purchase a dream home of your own choice, you must opt for a home inspection service and a home inspector. This will help you to determine the actual structure of the home i.e. whether it is a new home or an already existing one. Agencies providing inspection services will help you in choosing the right home and grab the best home deals. These services ease the confusion and stress related to buying a home.
It is not at all an easy task to purchase a dream home. When you buy a home you should consider these two aspects related to the property. First one is the price and other is the location of the home. Whether you are looking for a new home or an existing one, home inspection is necessary. Home inspection services and inspectors will ensure that the home is mechanically and structurally sound. These services prove helpful in tracing any structural issues related to the home and thus alert the buyer about the actual status of the property. You can have an expert evaluation along with a thorough report of the condition of the home chosen for purchase. To have a good deal, you must look for a reputed service and home inspector.
During the actual inspection, it would be very beneficial for you if you can accompany them so you can readily ask questions pertaining to some aspects of the house which you find dull or strange. The best quality home inspection service normally brings additional materials, tools and equipments which they in inspecting to provide a more substantive report to their clients at the end of the day. You will not see them moving things around but with the aid of the inspection tools and thorough training they can easily spot any part of the house which needs repair and attention.
To guarantee that the hours you spent while doing the process will not be a waste of time, prepare a pen and paper so you can easily list down your queries while on tour. Bear in mind that the house that you are actually inspecting may be the home you will live in for a very long time so better get acquainted with it this early.
Lastly, quality home inspection services always provide a written report to their clients. Most of the time, these reports is made up of around 25 – 30 pages of detailed observations which they notices while inspecting the house. These includes the roof, the flooring, the walls, the ceiling, the heating and cooling mechanisms, the plumbing, leakages and even the strength of its foundation. If your home inspection service provided you with a couple of pages of checklist, then you have been robbed of valuable time and dollars.
A destination wedding can be the ultimate in a custom weddings in croatia which is as unique as the couple to be wed. Of course, every engaged couple wants their wedding to be unique and different; however, a destination wedding is something truly special – an occasion which will never be forgotten by your guests and will create a joyous experience for all present, especially the bride and groom. A destination wedding brings that daydream of a fairytale wedding to life.
So what exactly is a destination wedding? Simply put, it's the ultimate way to make that special day even more special. You and your family and guests travel to that perfect location where you've always dreamed of getting married. Is your dream to have your wedding on a tropical island? On the Dalmatian coast of Croatia? A mountain top in Alaska? All of these things are possible for your destination wedding – it's only limited by your imagination; the price tag may not be as much of a factor as you think.
Perast is an equally good choice of wedding location and also finds itself in Boka Kotorska, but a few miles north-west of Kotor. Two islands named St. George and Our Lady of the Rock lie side by side in the bay in front of Perast. They both have churches on them and are described as being like husband and wife, in that they're never far apart. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more perfect and poignant location to marry in.
The busy town of Budva also lies on the coast. It has a lovely old town which is small but beautiful and does contain some quaint restaurants that would be suitable for a small wedding reception. Outside of the old town and along the sea-front, you'll find larger commercial hotels, which are more in-keeping with a larger event. Some of these hotels have spa facilities and their own private beaches.
You can have luxurious accommodation in Croatia in any of the villas located along the Adriatic Coast. You have the option of renting either cheap villas or luxury villas. Most of the villas available are self-catering. This feature gives you the opportunity to cook and serve yourself. However, you can also hire maid service which would spare you from the labor of cooking. But this facility is mostly available in luxury villas.
In case you opt for a self-catering villa, make sure that it is located near a market place. Self-catering villas are generally equipped with kitchen facilities which cost a little more. But, in turn, they save the guests from eating out in restaurants and coughing up extra bucks.
It is hard to choose the most romantic restaurants in weddings dubrovnik because almost all of them have a dreamy ambiance. In many restaurants you are facing the sea, dining in the outdoors, eating excellent fresh seafood. Dubrovnik is a relatively large city, however the part you want to visit is "the Old City". It is very small. Don't make the mistake of booking a hotel that is too far away from the Old City otherwise you will spend the most of your time and money in a bus or taxi trying to get to the main attraction. What are Dubrovnik's main romantic attractions?
When your fiancé slipped an engagement ring on your finger, did a specific wedding date come to mind? Chances are that it might have. Much of what happens next depends on how soon you want to wed, the type of wedding that you have in mind, and the number of guests you plan on inviting. Of course, your work schedules must be factored in especially if you imagine yourselves spending two weeks of honeymoon bliss on the unspoiled beaches of Cabo San Lucas or enjoying the historic sites of new found splendor in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Whatever your honeymoon desires may be, they can impact the day that you hold your wedding.
Some couples dream about holding their wedding outside perhaps in a park or up in the mountains overlooking the Valley of the Sun. As you may know the summer months are prohibitively hot in Arizona and certainly not ideal for an outdoor event even in the early evening hours when temperatures are still near one hundred degrees. On the other hand, an outdoor event from mid-October until early May can be a lovely alternative with the mid winter weeks being the very coolest.

The facts and figures around the home match against Hannover 96.
The Wolves are out for revenge after their 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture. Goals from Linton Maina (31') and Ihlas Bebou (61') put 96 in charge, and although VfL reduced the deficit through Wout Weghorst's late penalty, they couldn't find an equaliser.
The overall head-to-head records favours VfL. In 31 Bundesliga encounters, the Wolves have triumphed in almost half (15) while there have been 10 victories for Hannover and six draws.
Although VfL have only lost one of their last seven Bundesliga home games (the 3-0 defeat to Bayer 04 Leverkusen), they are yet to record back-to-back wins at home this season. Another note of caution: Hannover are unbeaten in five visits to the Volkswagen Arena since their 4-1 loss in November 2011.
On this occasion, the Wolves welcome a Hannover side in turmoil. With 14 points from 27 matches, this is currently the club's worst ever campaign in the top flight.
Wolves winger Felix Klaus spent three years with Hannover, experiencing relegation at the end of the 2015/16 season and then promotion back to the Bundesliga the following year, before moving to Wolfsburg last summer.
Counter-attacks and tackling could be two key elements in this contest. The Wolves have bagged 10 goals on the counter so far this season – only Eintracht Frankfurt have managed more. However, they'll need to be prepared for a battle against Hannover, who have averaged 222 challenges per game this term, a number only bettered by RB Leipzig.

Q: how to store values data reader values from database into an array? vb.net Is there a way to store data from a sql data reader values to an array?
this is my code
 Dim machines() As Integer
Sub machine_entire()
    Try
        'getting lines from the database
        If conn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then conn.Open()
        With cmd
            .Connection = conn
            .CommandText = "select machineID from tbl_prod_machine where lineID = '" & lineID & "' order by machineID asc"
        End With
        dr = cmd.ExecuteReader
        If dr.HasRows Then
            While dr.Read
                machines = {dr.GetInt32(dr.GetOrdinal("machineID"))}
            End While
            dr.Close()
        End If
        dr.Close()
    Catch ex As DataException
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, ex.GetType.ToString)
    Catch ex As SqlException
        MessageBox.Show("Sql Server Error # " & ex.Number & ": " & ex.GetType.ToString)
    End Try
End Sub

thank you! for the help

A: If it's just a list of integer, I would use a List(Of )
Dim machines As New List(Of Integer)

After than you just add the values to the list
machines.Add(dr.GetInt32(dr.GetOrdinal("machineID")))

Side note, I would rename your function and make it return the list. In this context, lineId and machines do not seem a good idea to be outside of the function.
Function GetMachineIdsFromLine(ByVal lineId) As List(Of Integer)

Also, it is recomended to open connection only when needed and close them as soon as possible.

Q: Delete unix shared memory segments using a C++ program I am trying to write a C++ program to delete the shared memory segments. I know it can be done from cmd prompt using
ipcs -m | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs ipcrm -m
But I am trying to do it using C++ so that I create a shared memory garbage collector.
The idea is to delete shared memory segments that are not attached to any process( nattach ==0) or the status == NULL

A: I finally have the the answer to my own question. It can be done using shmctl flags.
shmctl(0,SHM_INFO,&shm_info); gives number of segments currently present.
shmctl(i , SHM_STAT , &shm_segment) gives the segment id
it can also be accessed by shm_segment.shm_id
#include <sys/shm.h>

int delete_segment(int seg_id){
    if ((shmctl(seg_id,IPC_RMID,0))==-1){
    std::cout<<" ERROR(C++)with shmctl(IPC_RMID): "<<strerror(errno)<<std::endl;
    return -1;
    }else//on success
        return 0;
}

void clean_segments(){

    struct shmid_ds shm_info;
    struct shmid_ds shm_segment;
    int max_id = shmctl(0,SHM_INFO,&shm_info);
    if (max_id>=0){
        for (int i=0;i<=max_id;++i) {
                int shm_id = shmctl(i , SHM_STAT , &shm_segment);
                if (shm_id<=0)
                    continue;
                else if (shm_segment.shm_nattch==0){
                    delete_segment(shm_id);
                }
        }
    }
    return result;
}

A: According to a source code of the ipcrm, it calls shmctl.
shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, NULL)

A: I would suggest executing strace ipcrm -m <your-arguments> and see what system calls it performs. In most cases that should be suficient (at least it will point you in the right direction), if not - look at the source code of ipcrm. I'm pretty sure you do not need any special privileges (ipcrm on my system does not have SUID or SGID bits set).

A: The code below use I:
    void clean_segments(int startId, int endId) {
    for (int i=startId; i<=endId; ++i) {
        struct shmid_ds shm_segment;
        int shm_id = shmctl(i, SHM_STAT, &shm_segment);
        delete_segment(shm_id);
        printf("Segment %d has been deleted\n", shm_id);
    }}

clean_segments(1146894, 6357160);// example of using the code above

Ah, we have the exact same GPU then! I found that running the render resolution at 90% scale seemed to allow enough additional headroom to 'smooth over' the few maps that are giving me issues, for the most part, while retaining the sharpness of the UI. So it just requires a bit more brute force for those maps, but it is a shame since all the other maps work perfectly at full 1:1 resolution. Either way, it's great to see such nice CPU optimisation in Squad compared to the way things were a couple years back. I'd trade a CPU bottleneck for GPU any day! Well done devs!
Huge amounts of VRAM left on the 1080ti. GPU is installed in PCIe 16x 3.0 port, so transfer bandwidth shouldn't be an issue here, and I don't think there's anything I could possibly do to improve that if I already have the very latest hardware with OCs etc. Hoping this is something that will be fixed once further optimisations are made on the few troublesome maps, possibly?
Any word on this yet? Today's update mentions foliage improvements coming to Chora, which seems to be the only map these missing shadows apply to. Are we going to get the shadows back? Because this map is looking ugly as hell without them. Anyone???
My settings were maxed out, and I have photos and videos of gameplay on Chora from a couple months ago which show full shadows on the vegetation. Someone has intentionally removed them - I just hope to god it's not permanent, and not because this forum has so many people complaining about tactical advantages by not having shadows enabled etc etc. That just makes me mad! Slightly off topic, but it's also worth mentioning that the UE4 is a very light-weight engine. It's not expensive to buy to GPU that can run this game on full. I just don't get where people are coming from with the whole FPS issues. FPS issues in this game are totally down to CPU (or CPU optimisation issues) and the network right now. Grrrrr!
SHIFT + P Use SPACE, SHIFT AND W,S,A,D to move.
This is literally the best news I think I've ever heard! Thanks again irOnTaxi.
Thank you. Yes, that was absolutely my intention - I simply wanted to bring it to their attention as it can be very hard for someone who actually knows what they're talking about to cut through the opinions of the other less-informed users regarding performance issues.
I'm running 3700K @ 4.4Ghz. There isn't a CPU in the world that will make up a 30FPS difference, as required in this scenario. Although I am about to buy a Skylake for a new machine, I'm not expecting to see any more than extra single-digit FPS. Are you really telling me you can reproduce the steps in my video and NOT experience a considerable drop in frames? Or are you saying you can tolerate it for the mean time? Because I can too - just hoping it is something that will be sorted.
Understood. And I'm not complaining. Just merely pointing something out that I really haven't seen anyone else mention specifically. I've been sat on this info for a while, pondering whether it's worth mentioning. Someone's gotta do it.

Improving effectiveness of solar geoengineering
Washington, D.C.— Solar radiation management is a type of geoengineering that would manipulate the climate in order to reduce the impact of global warming caused by greenhouse gasses. Ideas include increasing the amount of aerosols in the stratosphere, which could scatter incoming solar light away from Earth's surface, or creating low-altitude marine clouds to reflect these same rays.
Research models have indicated that the climatic effect of this type of geoengineering will vary by region, because the climate systems respond differently to the reflecting substances than they do to the atmospheric carbon dioxide that traps warmth in Earth's atmosphere. New work from a team including Carnegie's Ken Caldeira uses a climate model to look at maximizing the effectiveness of solar radiation management techniques. Their work is published October 21st by Nature Climate Change.
Attempting to counteract the warming effect of greenhouse gases with a uniform layer of aerosols in the stratosphere, would cool the tropics much more than it affects polar areas. Greenhouse gases tend to suppress precipitation and an offsetting reduction in amount of sunlight absorbed by Earth would not restore this precipitation. Both greenhouse gases and aerosols affect the distribution of heat and rain on this planet, but they change temperature and precipitation in different ways in different places. Varying the amount of sunlight deflected away from the Earth both regionally and seasonally could combat some of this problem.
By tailoring geoengineering efforts by region and by need, the team—led by California Institute of Technology's Douglas MacMartin—was able to explore ways to maximize effectiveness while minimizing the side effects and risks of this type of planetary intervention.
"These results indicate that varying geoengineering efforts by region and over different periods of time could potentially improve the effectiveness of solar geoengineering and reduce climate impacts in at-risk areas," Caldeira said. "For example, these approaches may be able to reverse long-term changes in the Arctic sea ice."
The study used a sophisticated climate model, but the team's model is still much simpler than the real world. Interference in Earth's climate system, whether intentional or unintentional, is likely to produce unanticipated outcomes.
"We have to expect the unexpected," Caldeira added. "The safest way to reduce climate risk is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
David Keith of Harvard and Ben Kravitz, formerly of Carnegie but now at DOE's Pacific Northwest National Lab, are co-authors on the study.

Bogádmindszent is een plaats (község) en gemeente in het Hongaarse comitaat Baranya. Bogádmindszent telt 438 inwoners (2001).

Plaats in Hongarije


Geneva, June 13, 2012: Today, the UN Secretary-General's Special Adviser on Sport for Development and Peace, Wilfried Lemke, was in Berlin to address a special session of the German Parliament's Sports Committee on International Sports Policy. Last week, his mandate took him successively to Kuwait, Poland and Switzerland, where he continued his work as a facilitator and advocate in promoting sport as a catalyst for social change.
Today, at the Bundestag in Berlin, Mr. Lemke reported on his activities and that of his office over the past 12 months.
"In 2011 and until today, we have continued to work very closely with our partners to reinforce the position of sport and physical activity on the humanitarian, development and peace-building agendas," the Special Adviser declared. "Let me seize this opportunity to warmly thank all our partners and donors, including the Government of Germany. Without their invaluable support and collaboration, we would definitely not be able to succeed in our work," he added.
This past Saturday, Mr. Lemke had a chance to exchange ideas and views with some members of the Bundestag, as he – together with the UN Head of Administration in Geneva, Mr. Clemens Adams and the Permanent Representative of Germany to the UN in Geneva, Amb. Dr. Hanns Heinrich Schumacher – welcomed a large delegation of German Parliamentarians and other important stakeholders at the Palais des Nations, in Geneva. The delegation was headed by Dr. Peter Struck, President of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
"It is important to have the chance to engage with national Parliamentarians in a dialogue on how valuable sport can be in addressing development and peace challenges at the global level. Through examples of successful interventions and best practices, we can improve their understanding of the issues at stake and therefore strengthen their engagement in this field," the Special Adviser said after the meeting.
Last Friday, Mr. Lemke travelled to Warsaw, Poland, where he took part in the launch of the official anti-discrimination programme of the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship.
Under the motto 'Respect Diversity – Football Unites', the programme includes monitoring at matches, anti-discrimination messages at every game, a joint protocol on the reporting of incidents, a commitment to take disciplinary sanctions and a campaign focus at the semi-finals.
Many UN system entities are also harnessing the opportunity of the event by carrying out a large range of outreach activities in order to address critical issues such as gender equality, children's rights, HIV/AIDS prevention, the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the importance of environmental protection.
Earlier in the week, Mr. Lemke travelled to Kuwait in order to play a mediation role in securing that Kuwaiti athletes can compete under the Kuwait national flag at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
For the time being, the Kuwait National Olympic Committee is suspended from sending athletes to the Games representing Kuwait, as the national legislation contradicts the Olympic Charter.
"I am hopeful that Kuwaiti athletes will compete in the 2012 London Olympic Games under the flag of their proud nation," Mr. Lemke said following his mission.
During his visit, Mr. Lemke met with the Emir of Kuwait, H.H. Sheikh Sabah IV Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Speaker of the National Assembly, H.E. Ahmed Al-Saadoun, and the Minister of Social Affairs and Labour Minister, Mr. Ahmad Al-Rujaib.

Home / Cities / Delhi News / India to have over 4 lakh millionaires by 2012
India to have over 4 lakh millionaires by 2012
The millionaire club is set to witness a major boom as their numbers are expected to more than double to 4.03 lakh by 2015 on the back of a robust economic growth and impressive returns from stock and property markets.
UPDATED ON SEP 11, 2011 12:00 PM IST
The total wealth of these millionaires, having minimum investible assets of $1 million, is also estimated to more than double to about $2.5 trillion by 2015, a report on Asian wealth market has said.
Investment banking major CLSA said in its report, titled 'Wealthy Asia' that there were a total of 1,73,000 millionaires in India at the end of 2010, with total wealth of $949 billion (over Rs 42,00,000 crore).
For 2015, the report forecasted the country to have as many as 4,03,000 HNWIs (High Net Worth Individuals), who have been classified as those having minimum investible assets of $one million, with a combined wealth of $2,465 billion (more than Rs 1,00,00,000 crore).
CLSA said that wealth growth in India was expected to be "extremely strong" on the back of strong economic growth and robust returns from key asset classes.
"The stock market should provide almost 14% annual returns, while we estimate Indian properties to rise on an average close to five% per annum," it said.
The report, which tracked the wealth market in entire Asia excluding Japan, said that India accounted for 15% of total HNWI population in the region, which was second largest after China's 44%.
However, the number of HNWIs remains extremely low in India, when compared with the total adult population.
CLSA said that India had only one HNWI in every five thousand of adult population at the end of 2010 and the ratio was expected to grow to one in two thousand adults by 2015.
In comparison, China had one HNWI in every two thousand of adult population (0.05%) in 2010 itself and the ratio was expected to rise to more than double to 0.13% by 2015.
CLSA said that the number of millionaires would rise by more than 9 lakh by 2015 in China, thus accounting for more than half of the HNWI growth in the region.
China had 5.02 lakh HNWIs with a total wealth of $2.6 trillion in 2010 and this was expected to rise to about 13.8 lakh with combined wealth of $8.8 trillion by 2015.
The total number of HNWIs in the entire region is expected to grow to 2.8 million by 2015, more than doubling from about 1.2 million in 2010.
The combined wealth of these people would nearly triple to $16 trillion during the same period, from about $5.6 trillion at the end of 2010.
Noting that the wealth was not evenly distributed, CLSA said that the HNWIs in the entire region accounted for just 0.06% of the adult population, while the ratio was 1.5% in two city-states, Singapore and Hong Kong.
The ratio was low at 0.05% in China and even lower at 0.02% in India.
"As the region develops, the surge in Asian fat cats and the impact of their spending-power will be a multi-decade theme," the report said.
CLSA further said that there were wide differences in the wealth levels of the different countries.
While an average adult's wealth in Singapore and Hong Kong stood at just above $150,000, the levels were only a fraction of this in less developed countries.
"The typical person has less than $5,000 wealth in India, the Philippines and Indonesia," the report said, while pegging the same for China at about $10,000.
"The forces for wealth creation are extremely favourable for Asia over the coming years. The economies are growing faster than any other region in the world."
"Savings ratios are high and the stock markets are likely to provide strong returns over time. The value of business investments is rising on strong growth and low capital costs," CLSA said.
Besides, property prices were escalating as the middle class were moving their cash out of low-yielding bank accounts into appreciating real assets, it added.

so this topic is relevant to this blog.
We see that Justin had a grand old time as Mass on Fogo Island. A priest from Africa gave him a hearty welcome. The article would have probably mentioned is Justin did NOT receive Eucharist, so it is fair to assume that he probably did.
On May 16th, Ottawa's Archbishop published a statement in response to Trudeau's edict entitled, "Being in Communion with the Catholic Church on Moral Issues". In a stinging rebuke of Justin Trudeau, the letter states unequivocally, "One may not dissent from these core teachings on life issues and be considered a Catholic in good standing." Archbishop Prendergast instructed all parish priests in his diocese to make the letter available to parishioners on the upcoming Sunday.
It looks like Justin came to a quiet agreement with his local Bishop in Ottawa to NOT receive communion (and that applies everywhere).
There is a rumour amongst the Ottawa political hack class (of which I was once a part). It seems the rumour is that Cardinal Collins has written to the Prime Minister advising him not to present himself for Holy Communion in the Archdiocese of Toronto. The liberal lapdogs are outraged, – how dare this Churchman tell the Dear Leader he can't take the cracker!
Perhaps, Justin got confused after the letter from the Toronto Cardinal and thought he only had to refrain from receiving communion in Toronto and Ottawa and he was fine to receive elsewhere? Perhaps, he thought that nobody would notice on Fogo Island? Perhaps, now that his children are older he can't explain to them why he is not allowed to receive?
Justin has been pushing abortion overseas, taking away doctors conscience rights about euthanasia, pushing the gay marriage agenda in Canada and overseas. Why does he think he can receive Eucharist?
The media were all aflutter when Harper incorrectly took Catholic communion, but will they ignore Justin's communion reception? He is just as banned as Harper from receiving communion.
Will they give Justin a pass in this area?
How does Sophie ""The sacred feminine is on the rise" Yogi Gregroire feel about Jesus having only male 12 apostles and instituting a male-only priesthood? Did she also receive communion?

Melbourne: Resurgent Roger Federer believes that a long period of rest, where he was out for six months with injury had fuelled his incredible shot at more Grand Slam glory at the Australian Open.
The 35-year-old Swiss veteran is wowing the tennis world with his wholly unexpected run through to Sunday's final, raising the prospect of an unprecedented 18th major title.
Federer, whose ranking has dipped to 17 after a knee problem which ended last season following Wimbledon, has defied the doubters by reaching his 28th Grand Slam title match.
After a fighting, five-set semi-final win over fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka, he became the oldest man to reach a major final since Australia's Ken Rosewall (39 years 310 days) at the 1974 US Open.
Federer said much of his rejuvenation stemmed from his injury break, the longest of his career, which followed surgery on his knee earlier in the season.
"It was a good thing to do. You can only ever do so much treatment to feel decent," said Federer, whose 19-year playing career has been largely injury-free.
"What I've come to realise is when you don't feel well, you have too many problems going on, you just won't beat top-10 players.
"All the time all you're doing is fighting the fire. From that standpoint, yeah, the six months definitely gave me something in return."
The Swiss marvel has spent a total of 13 hours 40 minutes on court in his six matches to get to his sixth Australian final, but he says he feels in good shape.
"I just wanted to get healthy again. I'm happy this week has been a good one," he said.
"So I will leave it all out here in Australia and (even) if I cannot walk for another five months, I will give it all I have."
Federer, a staunch tennis traditionalist, said it meant a great deal to be linked with a record set by Rosewall, an eight-time Grand Slam winner, by reaching the final.
"We don't speak about him enough. I think he's a wonderful man," he said.
"He wrote me a letter again this week to wish me well again. He does it every year at the Australian Open. Still haven't seen him, unfortunately. I know he's around.
"I love that generation of players with Tony Roche, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Roy Emerson.
"I know he's a few years older, but I know he had a tremendous career. So to be in the same breath like these guys, it's a great feeling.
"I love these guys. It means a lot to me to have equalled something like this since a long time."
Federer said his charge through the top half of the men's draw, aided by the shock exit of world number one Andy Murray, had surprised even him.
All the same, he needed to give himself a talking-to before completing Thursday's three-hour, 7-5, 6-3, 1-6, 4-6, 6-3 win over Wawrinka.
"It's gone much better than I thought it would. That's what I was telling myself in the fifth set," he said.
"I was saying like, just relax, man. The comeback is so great already. Let it fly off your racquet and just see what happens. "I think that's the mindset I got to have, as well, in the finals. Sort of a nothing-to-lose mentality.
"It's been nice these last six matches to have that mentality. It worked very well so I'll keep that up.

In Valais, only about 1.29 hectares of Lafnetscha is cultivated.
The joy of ultra-rare grapes is that we can drink them without driving them to extinction. In fact, the more we drink them the more likely they are to be cultivated!
This is a really interesting wine. Light in colour with a fruity nose and a good fruity taste.
I would like to be able to compare it to another, better known grape, but it is quite unlike any other grape!
Try it for the history and the thrill of entering the unknown. Enjoy it for the flavour and winemaking skill.
Sauerkraut, pot-au-feu, hors d'oeuvres, shrimp, shellfish, cheese and onion cakes, Raclette, and Fondue.
The Lafnetscha grape is grown exclusively in the Haut Valais. It is believed to be closely related to another indigenous Swiss white grape, the Completer or Blanchier, grown in the Bündner Herrschaft village of Malans in eastern Switzerland. The name Lafnetscha comes from "Laff-nit-scha", a local dialect phrase suggesting this wine should not be drunk too young. Lafnetscha wines do indeed have some ageing potential if correctly made.
Chanton's Lafnetscha has a light but complex nose of pine forest, linden blossom, bergamot and ripe bananas. On the palate it is quite full-bodied, dry with good concentration of fruit and a fresh lively acidity. It is a very refreshing wine.

My experience with Fibromyalgia, Restless Leg Syndrome and Pain and Sleep began more than 15 years ago. Pain prevented me from falling asleep and staying asleep and having a restful sleep.
Several things contributed to my healing starting with a Doctor that believed in me and specialized in treating Fibromyalgia. With the help of holistic and homeopathic methods I was able to finally get a restful night's sleep.
It didn't happen overnight, but I began to heal when I was able to sleep 8 – 9 hours a night. Then I was able to begin to exercise. Water exercises at first and now I am able to do land exercises and Yoga. I also walk my dog daily and I'm up to a mile. It took me almost 2 years of walking to get up to a mile. But I never gave up.
Nothing happened overnight. I changed my eating habits too. Brown rice instead of white, sweet potatoes instead of red skins, whole grains and no refined sugars or simple carbs and lots of veggies and fresh fruit. Without sacrificing anything I lost 40 pounds and brought my cholesterol down from 279 to 170 in 5 months.
It's not about one thing that helps with Chronic Pain. It's a combination of things and it's not the same for everyone. It's finding the combination that works for you and it takes time and trial and error. But you can never give up.
It's also about realizing that you have a choice. You can wake up in the morning and decide you are going to have a miserable day and stay in bed, or you can get up in spite of your pain and decide to have a great day, smile, get dressed and get out and move. You will feel better for having made the second choice. It's all about attitude.

Matrix Reloaded, The (2003)
In this second chapter of the "Matrix" trilogy, Neo assumes greater command of his extraordinary powers as Zion falls under siege to the Machine Army. Only a matter of hours separates the last human enclave on Earth from 250,000 Sentinels programmed to destroy mankind. But the citizens of Zion, emboldened by Morpheus'' conviction that the One will fulfill the Oracle''s Prophecy and end the war with the Machines, rest all manner of hope and expectation on Neo, who finds himself stalled by disturbing visions as he searches for a course of action. Strengthened by their love for each other and their belief in themselves, Neo and Trinity choose to return to the Matrix with Morpheus and unleash their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation. But there exist powerful figures within the Matrix who refute the artifice of choice, evading the responsibility it brings as they feed on the emotional truths of others. Meanwhile, there are exiles like Agent Smith, whose inexorable connection to Neo compels him to disobey the system that has called for his deletion. Driven by the humanity he once despised, Smith will consume everything in his path on his quest for revenge. On his treacherous journey toward further insight into the construct of the Matrix and his pivotal role in the fate of mankind, Neo will confront greater resistance, an even greater truth and a more impossible choice than he ever imagined. At the confluence of love and truth, faith and knowledge, purpose and reason, Neo must follow the course he has chosen.
Matrix Revolutions, The (2003)
In the third installment, the epic war between man and machine reaches a thundering crescendo: the Zion military, aided by courageous civilian volunteers like Zee and the Kid, desperately battles to hold back the Sentinel invasion as the Machine army bores into their stronghold. Facing total annihilation, the citizens of the last bastion of humanity fight not only for their own lives, but for the future of mankind itself. But an unknown element poisons the ranks from within: the rogue program Smith has cunningly hijacked Bane, a member of the hovercraft fleet. Growing more powerful with each passing second, Smith is beyond even the control of the Machines and now threatens to destroy their empire along with the real world and the Matrix. The Oracle offers Neo her final words of guidance, which he accepts with the knowledge that she is a program and her words could be just another layer of falsehood in the grand scheme of the Matrix. With the aid of Niobe, Neo and Trinity choose to travel farther than any human has ever dared to go - a treacherous journey above ground, across the scorched surface of the earth and into the heart of the menacing Machine City. In this vast mechanized metropolis, Neo comes face to face with the ultimate power in the Machine world--the Deus Ex Machina--and strikes a bargain that is the only hope for a dying world. The war will end tonight, with Neo''s destiny and the fate of two civilizations inexorably tied to the outcome of his cataclysmic confrontation with Smith.

Here's a reportage from CNET France about transhumanism. If you watch, you will see that from minute 0:43, David Latapie, one of the interviewees is wearing a memetic tee :-).
Most of it is in french, of course.
David Latapie is the treasurer and the spokesperson of Technoprog, the French Transhumanist Association (French Wikipedia). He is particularly interested in technological empowerment for the masses and in open-sourcing the emerging technologies of the NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology and Cognitive science).
David contacted me by email telling me that he had bought one of my t-shirts and that he planned to appear with it in one interview for that channel.
I'm always glad to see one of memetic's tees in pictures around the Web or posted to facebook and so I was when I saw it on cnet's channel.
Go ahead and add any of these H+ t-shirts to your wish list.
This entry was posted in The Shop, Video on October 8, 2013 by Memetic.
For information, I also bought the golden "Evolve Yourself" Sarif Industries (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) T-shirt and I routinely wear it during the monthly meetings I organise.
Better yet, one of the habitués fell in love with it and bought the silver version.
I'll keep that in mind. By the way, better yet than glow in the dark, what about an Arc Reactor T-Shirt?

"Свети Димитър" () е православна църква в лъгадинското село Никомидино (Воренос), Гърция, част от Лъгадинската, Литийска и Рендинска епархия.

Храмът е изграден в началото на XIX век на хълм южно от селото, където е било разположено средновековното селище. Построен е върху апсидата на по-стара църква, разкрита при разкопки на IX ефория за византийски старини в Солун, започнали през лятото на 2003 година и завършили в 2005 година. По-старата църква датира вероятно от XV век – времето на конфликт за селището между Ардамерската и Литийската и Рендинска епископия. Около църквата е имало каменна стена.

Мястото на църквата е било гробище в Палеологово време. Цялата площ е 1 декар, като са запазени две вековни дървета. През 1960 година е решено местността да се заравни, за да се използва за селско стопанство и стотици кубични метри почва заедно с останките на византийското селище са изринати в съседния поток. Спасени са единствено основите на сграда от VI век.

HomeChief Justice Gary R. Wade
Retired Chief Justice Gary R. Wade is known for many things including his legal career, lecturing, writing, community involvement, and, most notably, his judicial career. Justice Wade was born and raised in Sevier County, TN and attended Sevier County High School. After high school, Justice Wade continued his education at the University Tennessee Knoxville, where he earned a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Doctorate in Jurisprudence.
After law school, Justice Wade returned home to Sevierville where he practiced law and later served as both Mayor of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge City Attorney. In 1987, Wade was appointed to serve as Judge for the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. He later served as Presiding Judge of the Court until 2006, when he was appointed by Governor Phil Bredensen to serve on the Tennessee Supreme Court. Wade served as Chief Justice from 2012 to 2014.
Justice Wade retired from the Courts in 2015 to begin a new career in education at Lincoln Memorial University's Duncan School of Law in Knoxville. During his five-year tenure as Dean, the school earned full accreditation by the American Bar Association and boasted a growth in enrollment of over 300%.
For years, Justice Wade has been involved in many non-profit organizations throughout Sevier County and East Tennessee, serving as President Emeritus of the Knoxville Zoo and Board Chair of the Museum of Appalachia.

So I didn't just read non-fiction on my holiday - I also indulged in some fluff. I've never read anything by Jodi Picoult before, though I had definitely seen her books at the bookstore. The topic of this one intrigued me (I love anything to do with medical ethics!). A child develops leukemia, so the parents use genetic engineering to give birth to another child who is a perfect genetic match and can be an organ donor. What starts out as a donation of cord blood becomes blood transfusions; a bone marrow transplant; and at the point where the story begins, she is being "asked" to donate a kidney to her sister.
I guess on a superficial level, there are some ethical issues - parents divided between what is best for one child vs. the other vs. the family as a whole - but the whole situation seemed implausible the whole time. What do you mean, they never thought to ask the second child what she felt? The story revolves around a lawsuit initiated by the younger child seeking medical emancipation, and as I said before, it was a little far-fetched. And I don't really see the ethical debate - in the case of an organ donation, it must be voluntary, and the best interests of the donor have to come ahead of the recipient. Or to put it more coarsely, if the donation goes ahead, the donor will likely face life-long restrictions to her health and activity level, and the recipient will probably die soon anyways due to the underlying condition. So since I didn't buy into the ethical debate, the book seemed rather shallow, and built on a flimsy foundation.
But having said that, it was a light, fluffy, holiday read that kept me reading until the end. But it too didn't make it back to Canada - I left it with a Tanzanian high school student who likes to read novels. I don't see it presenting any challenges to someone for whom English is her third language!

Could UK SMEs be missing out on maximising growth opportunities due to a lack of available working capital?
Seasonal variations mean that some businesses are often hampered by fluctuating cash flow levels which hinder their ability to invest in new equipment and technology or hire more staff to fulfil customer demand.
Research compiled by the Government's Business Innovation and Skills department found that 71% of businesses will only approach one financial provider (usually their bank) for financial support. In the event of them being turned down, they are unlikely to approach rival lenders for assistance.
Adopting such an outdated approach may mean that thousands of UK SMEs are currently missing out on fulfilling their potential. Are you one of them?
It's only natural for small businesses to be cautious about making a financial investment, however there's an equal risk in failing to seek support for growth.
Although continued economic uncertainty may have instilled a 'non-borrowing' culture into the mindsets of many SME owners, Wesleyan Bank's SME Attitudes to Finance report highlights that firms are becoming more receptive to exploring alternative finance options which can serve as a catalyst to take them to the next level.
A Centre of Economics and Business Research report highlights that SMEs' contribution to the UK economy is set to grow by 20% to £240bn by 2025. But those businesses that are unable to self-fund expansion should consider exploring alternative finance solutions to capitalise on new opportunities.
Tying up cash by paying upfront for short-term expenditures can place a substantial strain on a business's finances, even when you have planned for them. Specialist providers, such as Wesleyan Bank, offer tailored finance solutions to hep SMEs maintain working capital and protect cash flow.
These include spreading the cost of your tax (6 or 12 months) and VAT liabilities (3 - 12 months) with a flexible short-term loan. By doing so, SMEs gain more predictability over their expenditure, allowing them to smooth over peaks and troughs throughout the year.
Choosing an alternative lender for a short-term working capital facility can offer numerous benefits. Repayment terms are generally more flexible than high street banks can offer and applications can conveniently be made online in minutes, with decisions made quickly so SMEs can focus on their day-to-day business operations and generating extra revenue.
Overdrafts for SMEs continue to be withdrawn or reduced by high street banks, restricting working capital for hundreds of thousands of British businesses. Now would be a sensible time to gain a better knowledge of alternative finance options so you can make better informed decisions and use funding more effectively.
Talk to your bank but prepare to be open-minded by comparing which providers are best placed to support your business at every stage of its life cycle with a range of tailored and flexible finance solutions.
For further information to discuss your business's requirements, contact the Wesleyan Bank team at commercialtax@wesleyan.co.uk or call 0800 980 9348.
