#1 Hits of the 60s (& 50s, Too!) invites Branson guests on a joyous journey back to the decades filled with happiness, hip threads, peace, love, and unforgettable fab fun! Although the 50s and 60s seemed worlds apart in fashion and other fads, each of these decades gave birth to rock 'n' roll music that's held up well over the passing decades. Grandparents, parents, and the kids can all easily sing along to songs from Elvis Presley to The Four Seasons, and from The Monkees to The Supremes.
This talented troupe of ten singers, dancers, and musicians will touch on more than 100 songs in a total of 100 costumes, accentuated by special segments like a heartfelt tribute to our nation's veterans. Other great artists covered by the cast of #1 Hits of the 60s (& 50s, Too!), include The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Paul Anka, Petula Clark, Buddy Holly, Mamas & The Papas, The Association, Lesley Gore, Dion, The Coasters, Roy Orbison, Stevie Wonder, and many more! In addition to the wonderful music and the outrageously fun costumes, wigs, and props, this delightful show transforms an audience member into a hippie in their "These Boots Are Made for Walking" segment, and gets their audience movin' and groovin' along with their high school dance.
Each of the cast members of #1 Hits of the 60s (& 50s, Too!) brings an impressive resume to the show. Matt Muhoberac is a composer, arranger, singer, and musician with TV credits that include General Hospital and ads for popular brands. Amber Campbell is theater trained and educated, and has been a featured vocalist and MC for several Branson shows. Kelly Parrish began her career in Chicago TV and film and worked with stars like Oprah. Michael Jason Frost shined in productions of The Miracle and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Lead guitar player, Josh Carroll, was featured in Branson's Magnificent Country, Magnificent America, and Magnificent Seven shows. Mike Williamson is a full-time musician who plays several instruments, including trumpet, mandolin, and harmonica. Dino Phillips is one of the area's most sought-after drummers, playing for several big shows in Branson. Ryan Dunn, a psychology major, deftly handles the saxophone for #1 Hits of the 60s, and has a strong musical studio and stage background. Kaylee Ruden has worked for many Branson shows, as well as for Silver Dollar City, and Eric Dalton has performed for Silver Dollar City, Holland America Cruise Line, and several Branson shows. And Jordan Dickinson is another veteran of Silver Dollar City and area shows, and carries a college degree in music and dance.

"Awesome Show"
We were so thrilled with this show. From over 100 costume changes, all the dance moves, and interacting with the audience, it was nonstop enjoyment. I was picked to go up on the stage by Devin to do some "groovin" with the group...it was so much fun! We actually wanted to see the show again while we were there but there wasn't a time available. We highly recommend this show to all ages!

Q: Should we combine a value of an attribute A with values of other attributes B, C, ... to make A unique? I have a relational database schema as follows

The primary keys are underlined.
The scenario is I have to manage the bookings for the tennis courts. As you can see from the image, each court belongs to exactly one sport center, each center belongs to exactly one city. Let's forget the staff, player, and booking table because my question does not concern them.
So my professor had a very weird way of implementing this schema in MySQL. He made the CenterName and CourtName (and even PlayerName) unique attributes. CityName is also unique but I think it's justified. What is worth questioning is the way he did it:
Suppose that I have City A which has Center 1 which has Court i. He would store City A_Center 1 in the CenterName field and City A_Center 1_Court i in the CourtName field.
Basically he would chain information from other attributes to make an attribute unique, instead of defining unique conditions on the attribute sets (CenterName, CityID) and (CourtName, CenterID).
The way he justified for his design is that he could use the names instead of the ID numbers when he call stored functions. He also said names should be preferred over IDs, and ID should only be used for filtering (not sure what that is). He said the combining technique above to make names unique "is done all the time in practice". I really doubt that.
Is that true?

Healthcare Industry News: Venous Thromboembolism
News Release - June 20, 2006
New Data Reveals That Enoxaparin Results in Significant Cost Savings Compared to Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) in Treatment of in-Hospital Patients at Risk for Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
Thrombosis Management Clinical Effectiveness Initiative(R) (CEI) Study Demonstrates Cost Savings of More Than $1,000 Per Discharge With Enoxaparin
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., June 20 (HSMN NewsFeed) -- A large scale study providing the first actuarial-based analysis of prophylaxis with enoxaparin compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients at risk for Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) was published today in Pharmacy & Therapeutics (P&T). The study, "Cost Implications of Using Unfractionated Heparin or Enoxaparin in Medical Patients At-Risk for Venous Thromboembolic Events," reveals that patients treated with enoxaparin (a low-molecular weight heparin [LMWH]) had an average savings in cost per discharge of $1,002 compared to patients treated with UFH, despite higher drug acquisition costs for enoxaparin. This four-year retrospective study (1999-2003) of more than 17,000 medical patients at risk of VTE in 15 hospitals nationwide including Brigham & Women's Hospital, Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, were part of the Thrombosis Management Clinical Effectiveness Initiative (CEI) conducted by Aon Corporation's Life Sciences Practice.
"The data support that, because of its cost-effectiveness, enoxaparin may be the preferred treatment strategy for prophylaxis in those at risk for deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism," said lead author Richard M. Weinberg, M.D. (Chief Quality Officer, Stamford Hospital, CT). "While UFH is inexpensive to purchase, the use of enoxaparin is associated with savings in several areas, including ICU charges, laboratory tests and medical-surgical supplies. This more than compensates for enoxaparin's higher acquisition cost."
In addition, data from the CEI study found that the lower total in-patient costs were not attributable to a shorter length of hospital stay, but resulted from savings achieved in several hospital cost centers including the ICU, laboratory and medical-surgical supplies. The most significant cost savings achieved by substituting enoxaparin for UFH occurred among patients with respiratory disease with a major complication or co-morbidity and unstable angina.
Research Design and Method
The CEI study included an analysis of administrative data from 89,584 medical patients at risk for VTE, hospitalized in 15 mid-to-large (< 300 beds and > 600 beds) hospitals nationwide. Based on principal diagnosis, secondary diagnosis, significant procedures, age, sex and discharge status, all discharges were categorized into severity adjusted "diagnosis related groups" (DRGs). Included in the analysis were DRGs in which at least 50% of patients had a length of hospital stay of five or more days. As a result, 10,953 patients receiving UFH and 6,246 receiving enoxaparin were compared based on the total cost of care associated with each therapy choice.
* The severity-adjusted total savings, summed across all 47 included diagnoses, showed that thromboprophylaxis with enoxaparin was less costly by $1,002 per discharge compared with UFH.
* In 74% of the included DRGs (n=35), lower costs were observed with enoxaparin compared with UFH.
* In 36.2% of the included DRGs (n=17), differences were statistically significant, 32% (n=15) showing lower costs with enoxaparin.
-- The largest cost-savings with the enoxaparin treatment were achieved in the diagnostic category of respiratory disease with a major complication or co-morbidity and unstable angina.
* A breakdown of costs per cost center revealed that the savings for ICU, laboratory and medical-surgery supplies comprised a large part of total savings.
* Those treated with enoxaparin had a 0.6-day longer mean length of hospital stay compared with patients taking UFH.
"The significant cost savings demonstrated by the data, combined with the overall beneficial safety and efficacy profile of enoxaparin, have important implications for hospital administrators," said Dr. Geno J. Merli, Ludwig Kind Professor of Medicine and Director Jefferson Center for Vascular Diseases, Jefferson Medical College and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. "Hospital decision-makers should look to these results when considering cost-effective VTE prevention protocols."
The Thrombosis Management CEI was supported through a grant by sanofi-aventis U.S., the makers of LOVENOX® (enoxaparin sodium injection).
About Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
Venous Thromboembolism refers to two serious conditions: Deep-Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. According to the American Heart Association, DVT blood clots affect up to 2 million Americans each year, and complications kill up to 200,000 people in the U.S. annually -- more than breast cancer and AIDS combined.
Treatments for DVT include early mobilization, sequential compression devices to prevent blood clotting, and anticoagulants and/or blood-thinning drugs.
About Lovenox®
Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium injection) is a unique chemical entity in a class of antithrombotic agents known as low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH). The No. 1 selling low-molecular-weight heparin in the world, Lovenox® is obtained by alkaline degradation of heparin benzyl ester and is about one-third the molecular size of unfractionated heparin. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that Lovenox® is a safe and effective way to significantly reduce the incidence of DVT in a wide range of patient populations, and is the only LMWH that is more effective than unfractionated heparin in the prophylaxis of ischemic complications of UA and NSTEMI when administered concomitantly with aspirin. This has been demonstrated by more than 15 years of use in the treatment of 130 million patients in 96 countries. With numerous national and international clinical studies demonstrating its safety and efficacy, Lovenox® is the most widely studied LMWH.
LOVENOX® (enoxaparin sodium injection) cannot be used interchangeably with other low-molecular-weight heparins or unfractionated heparin, as they differ in their manufacturing process, molecular weight distribution, anti-Xa and anti-IIa activities, units, and dosage.
When epidural/spinal anesthesia or spinal puncture is employed, patients anticoagulated or scheduled to be anticoagulated with low-molecular-weight heparins or heparinoids are at risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis.
The risk of these events is increased by the use of postoperative indwelling epidural catheters or by the concomitant use of drugs affecting hemostasis. Patients should be frequently monitored for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. (See boxed WARNING -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Boxed%20Warning ).
As with other anticoagulants, use with extreme caution in patients with conditions that increase the risk of hemorrhage. Dosage adjustment is recommended in patients with severe renal impairment. Unless otherwise indicated, agents that may affect hemostasis should be discontinued prior to LOVENOX® therapy. Bleeding can occur at any site during LOVENOX® therapy. An unexplained fall in hematocrit or blood pressure should lead to a search for a bleeding site. (See WARNINGS -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Warnings and PRECAUTIONS -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Precautions).
Thrombocytopenia can occur with LOVENOX®. In patients with a history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, LOVENOX® should be used with extreme caution. Thrombocytopenia of any degree should be monitored closely. If the platelet count falls below 100,000/mm(3), LOVENOX® should be discontinued. Cases of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia have been observed in clinical practice. (See WARNINGS -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Warnings).
The use of LOVENOX® has not been adequately studied for thromboprophylaxis in pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic heart values. (See WARNINGS -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Warnings).
LOVENOX® is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to enoxaparin sodium, heparin, or pork products, and in patients with active major bleeding.
Please see accompanying full prescribing information -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/lovenox.html -- including boxed WARNING -- http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/lovenox/Boxed%20Warning.

Natalie Grant Facing Potential Thyroid Cancer, Requests for Prayers Before Surgery
By Edward Shih ( [email protected] ) Sep 21, 2017 07:26 PM EDT Comment
Dove Award-winning singer Natalie Grant is diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is requesting for prayer for her surgery scheduled for October 10, 2017. Facebook/NatalieGrant
Dove Award-winning and Grammy nominee singer Natalie Grant is faced with the possibility of a thyroid cancer diagnosis as she prepares to undergo surgery in October to remove her tumors for a full diagnosis. She is requesting her fans to pray for her and her family and for the upcoming treatment to go smoothly.
"Three years ago, I had an ultrasound on my thyroid, and at that time the doctors found several tumors, nodules on my thyroid and they looked benign and unconcerning and just want to keep a close watch several times over the years," she announced through a video posted on her Facebook page. "Two weeks ago, I had an ultrasound, and two of the tumors on the right side of my thyroid decided to not stay unconcerning."
Grant is scheduled to receive the surgery to remove the two tumors on October 10. She expressed her gratitude that even if it is thyroid cancer, it is usually very treatable and can be completely cured.
"Anytime you hear the word cancer, it is terrifying. And I know that many of you who are watching this video have gone through this. Someone that you love have faced cancer, and you know how terrifying that is," she said. "I've been told that Thyroid cancer, if you had to choose one, I don't know anybody who would choose to have cancer, but if you had to choose one, thyroid cancer would be one that you would want to choose, because it is so treatable and curable."
Despite the high chances of recovery, the "King of the World" singer tried to hold back her tears as she explained how the surgery may affect her ability to sing in the future.
"The surgery is a little bit more risky because I am a singer, and the thyroid is kind of all tangled up in the vocal box and vocal chords, so there could be some changes to my voice," she said. "Though I'm not even declaring that, because I have complete faith in my God. He never goes back on his word and he never breaks his promises. The promises that he didn't just make to me, but that he made to my mom when I was in her womb about how my voice would be the voice to the nations. He is not going to break his promise. That's just who he is."
Grant received the Gospel Music Association's Dove Award for Female Vocalist of the Year for four consecutive years from 2006-2009, and again in 2012. She has also been nominated for six Grammy Awards (2012, 2014, 2015, and 2017).
"Though, of course, I'm afraid, I'm human, every time fear begins to well up. I have a greater understanding of the scripture that says to take every thought captive, and that is actually a daily discipline for me right now," the singer said. "I'm asking you, would you pray for me, pray for my husband and my daughters, who are, of course, super concerned for their mama, pray for wisdom for the doctors, for God's grace and mercy on my voice."

Natalie Grant, Bernie Herms, and their three children
Grant has canceled her concerts in October until the end of November.
While asking for prayers, she said that she is standing on many scriptures, and one of them is in the book of Romans where it said that the gift and the promises of God are irrevocable, "I just know that to be true."
Just hours after posting her video, Grant posted a clarification about her health diagnosis, and testified of God's goodness through it all.
"There has been no clear and definitive diagnosis, because the tumors are still inside of me and have yet to be removed and fully examined. I'm praying and believing that once they begin to fully examine the tissue, they will find NO TRACE of cancer, regardless of what those tumors look like," she wrote. "Again - there can be no clear diagnosis until my surgery. And even if there is cancer - HE IS STILL GOOD. And He is still faithful. And He is still kind. And He is still my healer.
"Cancer IS a scary word. But I refuse to allow the fear of the known, or the unknown, to rule me. Voice change MAY be a common complication of this surgery, but I will not speak it as my complication. And even if it becomes my complication - HE IS STILL GOOD. And He is still faithful. And He is still kind. And He is still my healer."
Correction: September 21, 2017
An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that Grant has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but no definitive diagnosis has been made since the tumors must first be removed and fully examined.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease that affects the central nervous system. It causes progressive deterioration in motor skills and sensory perception, and can also cause psychological problems. There is no known cure, but there are many treatments to alleviate the effects of MS. Now researchers at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) have found a novel and effective way to help people with MS – through the use of technology based on video games.
As revealed by the 2016 Digital Australia Report, video game technology is increasingly being used for other purposes beyond entertainment – 89 per cent say playing games improve thinking skills, 76 per cent agree video games increase mental stimulation, 79 per cent find video games help improve coordination and dexterity and 61 per cent state video games help fight dementia.
Dr Phu Hoang and his colleagues at NeuRA have developed a games-based stepping exercise designed for people with MS, to help improve their balance and their mental skills. It is an excellent example of how games-based technologies have real world applications, and can improve people's lives.
In a pilot study published in the MS Journal and funded by MS Research Australia, Dr Hoang and his team have shown how the stepping exercise directly targets the key balance issues that contribute to falls risk for people with MS.
A second part of the game requires them to respond as quickly as possible to step instructions. The mat measures participants' reaction time, stepping speed and accuracy. The exercise was performed for 30 minutes at least twice per week over 12 weeks, with the level of difficulty increased as the participants gained confidence in their ability.
The study found that people with MS who did the stepping game showed significantly faster and more accurate steps, as well as improvements in real-world measures of balance, posture and walking speed.
The results also revealed faster reaction time and improved upper limb dexterity, which suggests that the stepping exercise also improves the thinking skills needed to reduce the risk of falling.
"The work is exciting because it shows it is possible to modify key physical and cognitive risk factors for falls in people with MS, using games based technology." says Dr Hoang.
The initial trial of the stepping mat with 50 people with MS has proved so successful that it is now being extended to a multi-centre program across Australia, with as many as 500 people.

Dear my readers, first of all I have to apologize for the lateness of today's post. Suffice it to say that I had other preoccupations for the past few days: depression, dissertation, you know– the usual. Do you want a picture of my new cat in compensation? He's finally sitting on the couch (sometimes) instead of always being underneath the couch. Well, he still mostly lives under it, but still, it's awfully exciting to see him out and about sometimes!
It's fun to see everyone's reaction to the same event. My husband and I are quietly delighted: we tiptoe around Telemachos attempting not to disturb his timid repose. The Changeling, by contrast, can hardly contain her delight. She alternately continues to do her own little things without really focusing on Telos and spends her time piling up her toys around him in a little shrine to playfulness. (The toy cat to Telemachos' right on the couch is also named Telemachos, incidentally.) Regardless of our individual reactions, we all have one great joy: it's really something special to see a shy, scared cat come around through slow, patient socialization to be a more relaxed, happier cat. There's nothing quite like it for teaching the rewards of patience.
Why do I think of all of this today? Well, today's book is about endurance– or perhaps about Endurance, Shackleton's ship. I want to tell you about the book which has reignited me with certain aspirations: patience, courage, and endurance. These are all qualities which Shackleton and his men exemplified to the fullest, and which today's book conveys so well as to make it positively inspirational. Or, at least, I've found it so. The book is Shackleton's Journey, by William Grill.
It's an extraordinary book. And because of that I want to confess one thing right up front: the nautical detail, precision of the narrative, and stirring courage which comes through this book was so brilliant that it almost– almost– sent me straight back to reread all of my Patrick O'Brian books. Then I took a deep breath, sat down, let the giddiness pass, and reminded myself that I have a dissertation to write. Obsessively reading the Aubrey/Maturin series is a full-time job in itself, and one I can't undertake right now. (Dear Supervisor: I promise that I won't open a Patrick O'Brian book until I finish my dissertation. I will be as strong and steady of purpose as Shackleton and his men.) But for those of you who don't have a dissertation to write, be warned: this book might well send you into a crazy vortex of reading everything you can about seafaring voyages of discovery. What I'm saying is that this material is freaking addictive, so be careful, OK?
There are two elements to this book which we need to consider simultaneously, as we have many times before now: one is the art and the other is the text. In this case, they work together to convey the narrative, and one really can't be mentioned without the other. Much of the spirit of the book– the sense of danger, the constant work and enduring cheerfulness of the men under dire conditions– comes through fully only if you take text and image together. In short, the book isn't only beautiful, it's a complete and perfectly balanced object.
How did they survive? Endurance, William Grill tells us. They had courage and spirit, absolutely. They also had endurance, both the ship and the quality. Whatever was thrown at them, they endured. Limited rations? Endurance. Losing their beloved– and useful– dogs? Endurance. Losing their actual, real, honest-t0-God ship? They simply exemplified its chief quality: Endurance.
Anyone could say, "The ship was terribly isolated– 500 miles from the nearest civilization." William Grill devotes a two-page spread to conveying true isolation. The utter simplicity of the blue and white swirls of ice, snow, and sea, with the tiny, almost toy-like ship stranded there, conveys far more than the words alone could do.
As I said above, it's an inspirational book. Like anything truly inspirational, that means it takes you through some tough territory. Expect to gasp a few times while reading it. Expect to get a little too emotionally invested in the dogs and want to cry when the last ones are shot (maybe that's just me). This is definitely not a toddler book, I can tell you. It's more like Peter Sís's books in level– probably early grade school, I'd say. A clever kindergartener might be able to handle it. But I think it's easily as much for the parents as for the child; read it together, and then have a good long discussion about honour, courage, hope, and endurance. You'll both be the better for it.
What a powerful review! You have convinced me to read this book. I would like to suggest a book about the Arctic that pairs perfectly with it: James Houston's Akavak. It tells an almost epic story about an Inuit man who takes a perilous journey at the end of his life, accompanied by his grandson, to see his brother before he dies. This, too, is a tale of endurance.

2022: Covid, Climate Change and Oil the Main Challenges Ahead, Dahlia Capital's Delfim Says

Bloomberg Línea — "The mantra is diversification": That was Dahlia Capital's manager and partner Sara Delfim's answer when asked about the company's plans for 2022.
The co-founder of the fund manager said in an interview with Bloomberg Linea that there are three main issues that the company's analysts will pay more attention to next year: Covid, climate change and oil. In addition, the meetings of the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) and the presidential elections in the country complete the scenario for a year that promises some instability.
"Despite the bumpy road, Brazil is one of the leading countries in complete vaccination. Covid is already mapped out for us, now it's just about complying with the protocols here," Sara said.
"The second issue is that it's no good the Central Bank raising the basic interest rate, because that's not going to make it rain. That's not going to make the world's harvests better. We had a drought crisis, there was a major shock in the price of basic foods. Since there was no rain in Brazil, electricity generation is in crisis, and this weighs heavily on the food industry."

"The third issue is oil. The price of a barrel touched $85 two months ago, and is now falling again with prospects of new lockdowns around the world. All this generates inflation. But it is not an inflation of demand, with high consumption. It is an inflation of supply. We need more rain and more food," she said. Other factors on the global stage, such as the change in policy by the Federal Reserve, and the likely acceleration of China's economy after the winter Olympics will also be on the radar.
The economist with more than 20 years in the financial markets was one of the 36 Brazilian personalities selected among 100 Entrepreneurs of 2021 by Bloomberg Línea. After almost four years at the head of Dahlia, Sara is still one of the few female managers in the country.
She argues that the cycle of interest rate hikes set in motion by Copom this year may not extend too far into 2022, as she believes inflation should start to settle down following the constant hikes from the first quarter of next year.
Raising the Selic rate won't change these three issues; it ends up squeezing the economy more and making people suffer more, especially the lower and middle classes. A rebalancing of oil prices and increased rainfall in Brazil may lead the Central Bank to hold off on raising interest rates, or even cut them again

In Brazil, 2022 is also an election year, with the first round scheduled for October 2. "It's going to be polarized, combative and noisy as always," she says. "We've been through several, the process is always volatile, and that's why it's important to have exposure and protection abroad."
"It's also good to have assets of companies with solid balance sheets, strong brands that transcend the Brazilian scenario, that use the down cycle to make new acquisitions. Navigating with caution and well protected, monitoring the rain, oil and China will be determinant," she says.

Appy Lending
App-based lending is fast catching on in urban India as it provides easy access to credit.
Venkatesha Babu | Print Edition: July 17, 2016
Shiva Kumar is a cheerful 24-year-old accountant, who works for a rice merchant in the narrow congested lanes of Balepete in old Bengaluru. A first-generation graduate, Kumar hails from Yadiyur, located 100 kilometres north-west of the state capital.
Kumar quickly realised that living in a city like Bengaluru on his Rs 22,000-amonth salary left him with only limited savings, in spite of his frugal habits. Indeed, when his mother fell sick and needed Rs 10,000 for treatment, Kumar faced a dilemma. His merchant boss refused to lend him money again, having helped him out once earlier. If only he could get a loan, Kumar was confident that he could repay it within a month or two.
"When I approached a nationalised bank where I had opened an account, they asked me for a salary certificate, income-tax returns and a guarantor as it was a personal loan. Where will I provide all that? I work for a rice trader and I am new to the city. The only option was to approach a moneylender. That is when my smartphone came to use, as a friend told me about an app called EarlySalary.com," says Kumar.
Initially sceptical, he applied online on the app with details like his Aadhaar card and bank statement showing salary being credited regularly as well as other sundry details. Within a day, his application was approved and the small loan was transferred to his bank. EarlySalary.com had looked at all details, including his Facebook account, and determined that he was creditworthy. Kumar repaid the loan within 28 days and is now a borrower in good standing. "It was a godsend for me as I needed the money urgently'
Fintech Disruption
Increasingly, this is a scenario being played out across the country. In spite of the large number of financial institutions and banks present across the country, access to financial services has been a huge challenge for a majority of the population. The reason why a number of innovative fintech (financial technology) lending companies with backing from venture capital have sprung up to address this need.
"Existing financial institutions cover at best 15-20 per cent of the urban population. There is a very large segment of individuals and small and medium businesses (SMBS) who are otherwise creditworthy, but don't have access to credit because of current branch lead banking models with their high in-built cost structures," says V.V.S.B. Shankar, the Founder & Director of one such disruptive Fintech company i-lend.
Legacy assessment models for issuing loans and slow adoption of technology has meant that banks in India, including private ones, tend to shy away from low value-high volume, need-based personal or business loans. It has meant that the alternative has been moneylenders with sky-high interest rates.
Rajat Gandhi, CEO of Faircent, another Fintech company, concurs with Shankar's assessment. "While over the past decade and a half, banks have invested in technology, none of the incumbents has passed on cost savings to borrowers. Also, given their current model, it is not economically viable for them to originate and lend small loans, be it for individuals or SMBs."
CIBIL Rating vs Social Quotient
Banks and other lending institutionsin the country have mainly relied on the Credit Information Bureau (India) Ltd (CIBIL) score to determine an individual's creditworthiness. CIBIL gives a numerical score to individuals, which represent their creditworthiness. It is based on past borrowing and repayment history, and majorly benefits those who already have a track record. But what about those who have just entered the workforce and don't have a track record? Remember: a million people enter the workforce in India every month, majority of them in informal sectors.
Akshay Mehrotra, CEO & Co-founder, EarlySalary.com
"We are aiming at those between 21 and 30 years old, who are in their first or second job. In the next six months, we are looking at originating loans of Rs 300 crore per month and our NPAs till date have been less than 1 per cent"
Which is why new generation fintech companies are basing their assessment of creditworthiness on what different players call Social Loan Quotient, or social scoring. They look at psychometric data of a person's social footprint to determine creditworthiness. Which means they look at your social presence on sites like Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter and various other digital portals.
About 85 per cent of the process is usually over the app (the initial application details like name, contact number, scan of bank statement, Aadhaar card/voter ID card, and all other information as well as communication), but there is a 15 per cent last mile where physical signature on ECS mandate and in some cases post- dated cheques are sought.
"We use a proprietary algorithm, which mines a borrower's social network coupled with basic documentation to determine SLQ, which in turn provides the amount of loan the person can borrow. Our turnaround times can be as low as a few minutes," says V. Raman Kumar, who runs an app-based lending platform CASHe. His venture provides loans up to Rs 1 lakh at interest rates between 24 per cent and 30 per cent. The target clientele is 21 to 35 years old.
A successful serial entrepreneur, Raman Kumar says he has put together Rs 125 crore for CASHe to lend since it began operations in April this year. While CASHe originates the loans, it is disbursed through One Capital that is registered as an NBFC with RBI. Currently, it has an Android app only.
Akshay Mehrotra, CEO and Cofounder of EarlySalary.com, which has raised $1.5 million in seed funding from Transcorp Group, targets a similar demography. "We are aiming at those between 21 and 30 years old, who are in their first or second job." The company, which started operations in October 2015, has originated a little over 1,000 loans. The size varies between Rs 10,000 and a maximum of Rs 100,000, with tenure ranging between a week and two months. The company charges 24-30 per cent as interest which, Mehrotra points out, is "lower than that of credit card rates".
The company has both an iOS and an Android app. "In the next six months, we are looking at originating loans of Rs 300 crore per month and our NPAs till date have been less than 1 per cent," says Mehrotra. Currently, it has operations in Pune, Bengaluru, and Chennai. Both Early Salary and CASHe say that about 40 per cent of applicants on their apps become eligible for loans.
Mehrotra, however, is emphatic that Early Salary is not a payday company. Globally, payday companies - which lend money till your next payday, usually at usurious interest rates - in countries like the US and the UK have been accused of taking advantage of desperate borrowers. There have been attempts to regulate them, with only moderate success.
Rajat Gandhi , CEO, Faircent
"While over the past decade and a half, banks have invested in technology, none of the incumbents has passed on cost savings to borrowers. Also, given their current model, it is not economically viable for them to originate and lend small loans, be it for individuals or SMBs"
However, Shankar of i-Lend says that a number of legitimate players internationally - including Prosper Marketplace, Lending Club, Ondeck, Kabbage in the US and Zopa and Ratesetter in the UK - have seen significant growth as alternative finance lenders for both individuals and SMEs. Some of them even have loan portfolios in excess of a billion dollars, he says.
Keerthi Kumar Jain, who runs Vote4Cash, another app-based lender, says his company has disbursed 17,000 loans amounting to Rs 30 crore since November 2014. Vote4Cash provides loans between Rs 1,000 and Rs 50,000 for a period of anywhere between one and 90 days. Interest rate varies between 0.1 and 0.3 per cent per day for every Rs 100 borrowed. "Within 17 minutes of providing all data sought, our algorithm will tell if you are eligible to borrow and how much. About a third of applicants get through," says Jain, who claims to have a gross NPA of just 1.3 per cent.
After the 'success' of Vote4Cash, Jain launched SMEBank.in, a similar venture for SMEs about four months ago. In that period, 178 SMEs have borrowed a cumulative Rs 1.7 crore with a ticket size of Rs 1.17 lakh.
Capital Float, started in October 2013, also lends to SMEs from Rs 25,000 to Rs 1 crore. "When a neighbourhood Kirana store requires Rs 25,000 loan, it is not economically viable for banks to do their due diligence and also lend profitably. This is possible only for app-based, technology-led companies like Capital Float," says its Co-founder Sashank Rishyasringa. The company today has a loan portfolio of Rs 400 crore, and has raised $42 million in funding from the likes of Sequoia Capital, SAIF Partners, Aspada and Creation Investments.
Competing Models
There are three different models in this app-based online lending. The first is venture-based ones like Capital Float and Early Salary. The second is peer-to-peer lenders (P2P) like Faircent, i-Lend and Vote4Cash. The third model is the digital DSA (direct sales agents) followed by the likes of IndiaLends and BankBazaar.
While venture-funded lenders need little explanation, the P2P lending model is a more interesting one. If you have surplus cash, instead of parking it in your savings bank account or a fixed deposit, P2P platforms encourage you to get a better return, though with a degree of risk involved.
For instance, Faircent says it has 7,000 registered lenders on its site and 25,000 borrowers, whereas i-Lend says it has 2,000 registered lenders and 5,300 registered borrowers. Both lenders and borrowers have to register and are subject to know your customer (KYC) norms. "We look at income levels and their financial wherewithal as in P2P models the lending period can be higher than other lenders. Instead of getting 8-9 per cent in a fixed deposit, the lender can get a return of anywhere between 12-20 per cent."
In P2P models, the platform - such as Faircent, i-Lend and SMEBank.in - charges about 1 per cent from the lender and 2-4 per cent from the borrower as a 'fee'. The platform does value addition for the lender by carrying out due diligence on the borrower and provides its risk assessment. And, it assists borrowers by putting them in touch with the lenders. Each loan to a borrower is actually syndicated to threefive lenders so as to spread risk. Also, lenders can compete with each other in a reverse auction process - the lender willing to lend at the lowest rate usually wins. This also helps the borrower.
V. Raman Kumar, Chairman, CASHe
"We use a proprietary algorithm, which mines a borrower's social network coupled with basic documentation to determine SLQ (social loan quotient)... it provides the amount of loan"
However, the platforms say, while default rates are extremely low currently, the risks are borne by the lenders and this is clearly articulated to them when they sign up. The low rates of non-performing loans at an average of just about 1 per cent are right now a function of the size of the industry. "Everybody knows how cumbersome the legal process is if somebody defaults. So, we build safeguards by having better scrutiny before disbursal," says Shankar of i-Lend.
And, finally the direct selling agents (DSAs). Gaurav Chopra, Founder of app-based IndiaLends, is a loan aggregator, who works with 30 financial institutions like Tata Capital, Bajaj Capital, Fullerton India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and IndusInd. Unlike the old DSA who was essentially a middleman, Chopra claims to be more than a "lead generator".
"We assess the customer risk by looking at their online profile, bank statement scraping, etc. Unlike CIBIL, we provide a free credit report to anybody who applies to us. All our documentation is on the app. We then work with the RBI-registered lenders like NBFCs and banks. But unlike DSAs, we jointly own the customer. We are currently doing Rs 10 crore per month in loan origination." Chopra says they have an Android app at present, and will shortly launch on the iOS (Apple/iPhone) platform, too.
Keerthi Kumar Jain, Founder & CEO, Vote4Cash
"Within 17 minutes of providing all data sought, our algorithm will tell if you are eligible to borrow and how much. About a third of applicants get through"
Each company claims to have its own secret sauce to determine who is eligible to get a loan. However, there are a few common things. They rely heavily on non-traditional, non-CIBIL, social data for determining who gets a loan. "Something as simple as how long a person has had a particular phone number can be a factor in determining his creditworthiness, though that won't be the sole factor. Also once we scrap his bank statement, we know the earning and spending pattern, and can arrive at a fair estimate whether the person is creditworthy," says Jain.
While a few like Capital Float and CASHe have registered NBFCs, others say that there are no regulatory requirements for this app-based online lending models. Shankar of i-Lend says, "RBI I think has till now deliberately opted for light touch regulation so as not to stifle innovation in the fintech lending space. Voluntary regulation like putting a cap on interest rates, doing KYC and following industry norms will lead to healthy growth for the sector."
But this sector will have to guard against going down the microfinance route, which initially promised much but was later seen to have issues such as poor governance, lack of transparency, coercive recovery practices and high rates of interest. For now, though, it seems to have caught the imagination of entrepreneurs, borrowers and lenders.
So next time you need a loan, all you need to do is download an app and apply.

Muslim woman exudes love for 'magical' Israel
Farhana Rahman, a young Muslim member of an Israeli start-up, declares: 'I will stand at the front line for the chosen people.'
Tags: Start-ups Philo-Semitism
Gil Ronen , Jan 19 , 2016 12:52 PM
Farhana Rahman
Farhana Rahman, a young Muslim woman from New York who is employed in an Israeli mobile app startup named Zula, posted a Facebook status full of boundless love for the state of Israel and its citizens Sunday. For those demoralized by the news these days, it is a true must-read.
"As I am typing this," she wrote upon returning to the US from her second-ever trip to Israel, "my heart is still pounding quite hard, and there is still that yearning to go back."
What followed was an exuberant post full of love for the Jewish state and its residents:
"Muslim me went to the heart of Israel, and exploded- with emotions. And with sentiment," she declared.
"Because everyone loved me. Everyone went out of their way to love me. No one could dare say that my online friends in Israel aren't real friends. Because yes they are. It's insulting for me to even refer to them as my friends. It is also insulting for me to refer to them as my family. They are a part of me. My lifeblood. They collectively transformed me into a much better version of myself."
Jews help people outside the tribe
She continued: "Many wonderful people traveled far and wide to see me. I didn't want to bother anyone by asking for their time in my last-minute trip, but that didn't stop them. They put their workloads and beautiful families aside, and came to see me and spend time with me in all crazy hours. I ended up falling for each of them even more than before, because they were all genuinely delighted over the fact that I was there. Probably even more delighted than I was.
"I don't use the term 'friendship' lightly. I know I am saying it a lot here. I am far from popular, that's for sure. But here's how the culture in Israel works: If people know you, they love you. Well, you obviously have to be a good person. But anyway, everyone lifts everyone else up. You know those stereotypes of Jews only helping Jews and that's why they are all successful and blah blah? Well I am solid proof that they wholeheartedly help people outside of the tribe as well."
"And why don't we all take a lesson from them?", Farhana suggested, in a monologue that soothes hearts:
"Jews weren't the only oppressed people that faced injustices in different points in time," she observed. "Everyone was. And still is. Let's all help build each other up as they do!
"Everyone of all ages in Israel gave me exceptional, world class treatment. I got sloppy little kisses from infants, handmade presents from small children, endless praise from teenagers, saw the childish side of young adults, got treated to wonderful local eats by people my parents age, and listened to words of wisdom and got major hugs from people that were much older. Why am I saying this? To let you know that the people of Israel of all generations love, and love to be loved. And believe me... I didn't only see a small handful of people in one town.
"Don't listen to what the media, or what low res overly shared graphics say against Israel or the IDF (may God bless them.) Take everything you hear as inspiration to try to figure out what the real story is for yourself by getting straight to the source… Don't blindly go by the ridiculous headlines and stories by the media."
'Apartheid'? Yeah, right
As for the "apartheid state" trope that is constantly repeated by anti-Israelis – Farhana had this to say:
"It's almost crazy how many Muslim women I saw driving, shopping independently, studying, working, and enjoying life in Israel. Freedoms they couldn't even dream of elsewhere in the Mideast. And yes, many of them were all burka'ed out to the nines. Also, it's way safer to walk outside late at night in most parts of Israel, than in NY. Because the people are civil and good. If you reply with anything contradictory, I'll simply ignore cause that won't be worth my time.
"Anyway, I went to businesses run by Jews, and got great customer service. I went to businesses run by Muslims. Also got great service. Customers were mixed everywhere, and everyone got along just fine. Interestingly enough, in both cases, the shop owners/staff weren't able to figure out whether I was a Muslim or Jew. I took that as a compliment.
"I didn't think it would be possible for me to love Israel and her people more than before. But yep. This trip did it. Does that make me a Zionist? Probably. You will be surprised how many other Zionist Muslims I came across there. So bring it on haters, bring it on. I will stand at the front line for the chosen people. And after the smoke clears, we will cuddle and play board games together while enjoying bourekas and lemonade with mint."
"I unfortunately didn't get to visit Al Aqsa," she was quoted as writing in a friend's post, "because my Jewish friends were getting some mean glares from some of the older Muslims, and I didn't feel comfortable to go because of it. But I was warmly welcomed to the Western Wall, and that felt just as sacred.
"I was not discriminated against at all by any means. If anything, I was given bigger discounts, and larger portions of meals because everyone was delighted to see that I was a Jew-loving Muslim. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my stay. Even strangers."
It's not easy being Israeli these days, with so much hatred and scorn being poured upon Jews globally. But even with just a few hearts as big as Farhana's on the Jews' side, the fight seems to be a lopsided one in the Chosen People's favor.

Level Boarding Plan B
Plan B: four doors per car.
Based on a photo by Yevgeny Gromov
What if the recent talk of platform compatibility was just a bunch of lip service, and the high-speed rail authority remained uncompromising on their requirement for platforms and train floors at a 51" (1295 mm) height above the rails?
Then we need to be prepared for Caltrain Level Boarding Plan B.
By definition, Plan B will never be as good as Plan A. Plan A is a workable compromise solution that would enable a gradual transition to a fully compatible blended system where Caltrain and HSR can share the same station platform tracks with 100% level boarding.
Plan B is to join HSR in their choice of 51" platforms, however misguided it may be. The transition to 51" platforms, from today's 8" platform height, seems at first a much more complicated problem. But is it really? What if you did this to Caltrain's new EMUs?
The train depicted here has two sets of doors, one pair for 51" platforms located on the mid level at the ends of each car, and another pair (quite similar to the Bombardier cars, with two steps up from an 8" platform) on the lower level. This is only a minor tweak to Caltrain's plan, taking advantage of the vehicles to facilitate a gradual transition from today's 8" platforms to level boarding at 51". During the transition to level boarding, only one set of doors opens at each stop, depending on the platform height at that stop.
Because it is a very specific solution, it's easy to shoot full of holes. Plan B elicits a number of objections:
Extra doors take away seating space. Additional vestibule areas will consume the space for at least 16 seats per car, or about 12% of train's overall seating capacity. However, Caltrain already needs better standing areas to handle peak loads, and these vestibules could be a good way to comfortably accommodate standees. The loss of seating could also be compensated by going five-abreast in extra-wide trains.
Extra doors will cause breakdowns. While the overall reliability of a train certainly depends on how many doors it has, the failure rate of any given door is better measured in mean cycles between failures, rather than mean time between failures. There is not a single additional door cycle since only one pair of doors opens at any given stop, so breakdowns and maintenance expenses will certainly not double.
Wheelchairs need the ability to change levels. During the transition, when some platforms are at 8" and others at 51", wheelchairs may need to board and alight at two different heights. A large ADA-compliant bathroom may also need to be placed in the roomy lower level. This implies a requirement for a wheelchair lift inside at least one vehicle in the train. It would be a packaging challenge, but is certainly not unprecedented.
Bicyclists need to navigate interior steps. The large contiguous areas required for efficient bicycle storage (sorting bicycles by destination as is currently the practice) would most likely be located on the lower level. When boarding and alighting at a 51" platform, bicyclists would need to negotiate 3 steps inside the train, possibly while it is moving. This is certainly a challenge, but must be considered in the context of today's situation, where bicyclists have to maneuver inside a moving train to access a 40-bike storage area through a single 3-foot narrow entrance after climbing up four steep steps and turning the corner around a pole--sometimes in the middle of a Giants game crowd. Providing stair gutters in the bicycle car steps (which, by the way, would be longitudinal steps that could be built far less steep than those transverse gallery car steps) could make interior navigation far easier than it is today.
Extra doors will make the trains more expensive. There is no question that this extra complication will lead to extra expense, but the key question is how much? The extra pair of doors will be responsible for perhaps an extra 5% capital cost. On a half-billion-dollar fleet purchase, this amounts to $25 million, an amount that sounds enormous to anyone with a mortgage. But $25 million is a pittance in the context of the thousands of millions (billions!) required to build separate station infrastructure for Caltrain and HSR. The extra cost is a rounding error, and a good case can be made for HSR picking up the compatibility tab.
Trains are difficult to build with that many doors. Structurally speaking, each door opening compromises the strength of the car body structure, reducing its ability to withstand the enormous loads during a train wreck. The crashworthiness of rail cars is highly regulated by the FRA, and achieving compliance for a four-door car could be quite an engineering challenge. This is a question best left for car builders to answer.
So yes, admittedly, Plan B is sub-optimal for a number of reasons as described above. It is quite controversial even among Caltrain advocates, many of whom harbor a visceral dislike of 51" platforms. This dislike goes so far as to lead them to a very strange advocacy position: that Caltrain and HSR should have separate platforms!
As we have often discussed, separate platforms are an operational disaster waiting to happen at San Francisco Transbay, since every inbound Caltrain movement will conflict with every outbound HSR movement. This constraint will limit the capacity and future growth of the blended system. And it's not just a Transbay issue: separate HSR stations at Millbrae, the mid-peninsula, and San Jose will require billions of additional infrastructure spending that would not otherwise be necessary. Is that a better outcome than Plan B?
Supposing Plan A fails and HSR insists on 51" platforms, then Plan B is the best of the rest. It is a simple plan, and a reasonable solution for not precluding common platforms in the future. Anyone who takes issue with it owes a detailed description of their own specific plan to make Caltrain and HSR more compatible.

As sub-optimal as "Plan B" is, at least it's a lot less crazy than demanding level-boarding for both Caltrain and HSR, at the height of the current fleet of Bombardier cars. Which will be long, long gone, by the time HSR operations start.
John Bacon 20 October, 2014 20:46
A strategy for transitioning to level boarding:
Caltrain should take advantage of the fact that they can hook cars with different boarding requirements together into one train. Initially build high level platforms that could accommodate two EMUs at the north end of every 8 inch platform from San Jose to the San Francisco Terminal. The first EMUs to arrive should be placed one car at a time at the north end of Caltrain's rush-hour diesel hauled consists in order to eliminate all system wheel-chair-loading-delays. Current diesel hauled rolling stock should continue to haul and board passengers at 8 inch platform sections during high demand periods. During moderate and low demand periods the same EMUs could be converted to one or two car high-level boarding trains. Two-car trains would initially poses sufficient capacity to accommodate likely passenger loads during mid-days, evenings, and weekends if during these low demand periods train frequency was drastically increased.
A careful run-time level boarding EMU average speed performance simulation (stipulating that peak traction power to be 20 kw/tonne, peak speed to be 100 mph and average boarding time to be 20 seconds, assuming the lift/drag ratio is one thousand to one, the wind constant is triple that for the TVG-A and F = M*A) a home brew train performance simulation indicates the following run times look possible between the San Jose Diridon and San Francisco's 22nd Street stations. The run time performance of an EMU train calling on all stations served during the weekend along the above line segment is: 50.8 minutes; skipping half the stations produces a run time simulation equal to: 39.4 minutes. The present scheduled Caltrain run period with at least three operating crew members along the same line segment is 87 minutes. Could the same number of crew member hours consumed operating one slow three-man diesel hourly train today be the same as a two local and four express one-man EMU train hourly schedule after electrification?
3*87 ≈ 2*50.8 + 4*39.4
The first morning passenger train could send a signal at every station to raise thirty-three inch wide platform extensions 43 inches with the similar hydraulic lift design now supplied to the automobile repair industry.
Permanently linking 4 EMUs with one common transformer will save 1.2 % in total rolling stock weight. The Philadelphia suburban Lindenwold High Speed EMU Line has the operator sitting among the passengers. If an operator is not needed in any given car the operator's position is normally occupied by a seated passenger. Therefore little efficiency can be gained by permanently linking cars. But adjusting permanently coupled EMU consists that come anywhere near matching Caltrain's highly variable demand curve with capacity changes while retaining a constant headway schedule becomes impossible.
Anonymous 21 October, 2014 09:56
Another transition strategy: Convert from diesel/low floor to electric/high floor, section by section.
Phase 1: One week shutdown 22nd, Bayshore, SSF and San Bruno for raise the platform.
Express: SF - nonstop -Milbrae - SJ (Diesel)
Local: SF - Milbrae (EMU) -> transfer Milbrae - SJ (Diesel)
Phase 2: One week shutdown Burlingame~Menlo Park to raise platform. Palo Alto Station have enough space for temporary platform in between NB and SB tracks.
Express: SF - Milbrae - (nonstop)- Palo Alto - SJ (Diesel)
Local: SF - Palo Alto (EMU) -> transfer Palo Alto - SJ (Diesel)
Phase 3: One week shutdown California Avenue~Santa Clara to raise platform. Tamien have long enough platform can be partially raise the height without shutdown.
One week shut down and transfer should be acceptable.
Like Keisei converted the track gauge from 4' 6" to the standard without service disruption?
What about Millbrae?
Caltrain Milbrae have one extra track which never utilized: Platform 4s. In addition, one of BART track can be converted to Caltrain. There will be no ridership growth in BART SFO extension, especially after open the Central Subawa and Transbay Terminal.
So, this is good opportunity for BART to sell their ROW to Caltrain.
Alon 21 October, 2014 16:30
My understanding is that most Caltrain stations are 7 cars long. If it's true, then the phasing could involve raising half the length of each platform, having the low-floor trains only open doors on the low-platform half (that's 3-3.5 cars out of 5 on a train, which involves less walking forward or backward than is practiced every day on Metro-North), and then buying high-floor trains and having them only open doors on the high-platform half until the platforms are raised completely. At what is now the busiest and most important station, there are enough platforms that Caltrain can raise the entire length of some of them, allowing for all-door boarding and disembarking.
The problem is with the shorter stations, the ones next to the grade crossings. There, only 2-2.5 cars might open doors, which is sucky but still in line with what Metro-North does on some of the less busy outer New Haven Line stations.
This is good opportunity to eliminate station grade crossing completely. Grade crossing remain mostly in popular station like Mountain View, Redwood city and Sunnyvale, where many people cross the track.
Diesel is OK because of slow accerelation. Think about if BART paltform need to acess by grade crossing. Fast accerelation of EMU will be quite dangerous for pedestrian.
Tim 28 October, 2014 10:37
"The problem is with the shorter stations"
Dunno about Broadway-Atherton-College Park, but looks like every other station has 600 ft or more.
Forgot about 22nd St, which I haven't checked. I'm betting it's 600+ ft, but if you want I can look.
545 feet northbound. 519 feet southbound.
Broadway 504 feet. Atherton 600 feet. College Park 201 feet
Joey 31 October, 2014 00:01
College Park should be closed anyway.
Of course, this discussion isn't about current platform length per se ... It's about how long the platforms can possibly be without running into obstacles like grade crossings.
Reality Check 31 October, 2014 10:36
Agreed, Bellarmine's de-facto private College Park station should be closed. They can run a few extra shuttle runs for a tiny fraction of the cost of rebuilding the station to be Caltrain/HSR level-boarding compliant.
Quoting Bellarmine's website:
"CalTrain stops at Bellarmine's College Park station four times a day, Monday-Friday. There is one train coming from the south and one train coming from the north before school, and there is one train going each direction after school as well. Bellarmine provides a free shuttle service that leaves Bellarmine at 5:20 each afternoon and takes students to Diridon station, so that they can catch a train home after afternoon practice or other obligations. Bellarmine's administration coordinates with athletic coaches to ensure that commuters are done early enough to catch the train."
In fact, some years ago now, Caltrain staff proposed to close College Park. Bellarmine parents, students and administrators mounted a major lobbying campaign opposing the closure. They packed board meetings with parent and student speakers appealing to emotion, history and even Jack London. Letters and emails flooded in too, and Caltrain backed down.
Quoting Wikipedia's College Park Caltrain station page:
"College Park is a lightly used Caltrain station located in San Jose, California. It is only served by two trains in each direction Monday through Friday, and no train stops there on weekends or holidays. It is located in Caltrain Fare Zone 4.
College Park is principally used to serve Bellarmine College Preparatory, a boys' secondary school, resulting in the school-related service times.
The station existed prior to the advent of Caltrain, and is mentioned in Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild."
Anonymous 02 November, 2014 14:33
When Caltrain converts to electric power north of Tamian it will need separate diesel train to serve all stations south of Tamian. I propose that the diesel Gilroy trains run up to Great America (ACE & Capitols) Station to stay off of the electrified track north of Santa Clara and access the golden triangle jobs. This new train can serve a new stop at a new Agnew/Oracle station. Maybe it could serve an Alviso/Gold Street station too. It can also be extended south to Hollister. Finally this new train could take over service to Collage Park so Caltrain does not need to. I propose we call this new train the "San Beniton" as it would be the only train serving San Benito County.
Alon 02 November, 2014 16:22
When Caltrain electrifies north of Tamien, it should abandon service farther south (unless it can wrangle an hourly or better service to Blossom Hill from UP) and let Amtrak's CC extension take care of it. A diesel-only branch with as little service as Caltrain runs to Gilroy has extremely high operating costs. It's a serious problem on the LIRR, with its high-frequency service by US standards in electric territory and few trips per day to Greenport and Montauk. There's so little service in the LIRR's diesel territory (except to some extent Port Jefferson) that equipment and crew utilization is horrendous: one of the crews, going to Greenport if I remember correctly, has one one-way trip per day, deadheading in the other direction.
In general, in urban areas, a rule of thumb is that if you can't provide hourly service all day, you shouldn't provide any service, unless it's an overlay for a high-frequency service, for example the BART lines that run only on weekdays.
The Top Ten Problems Facing Caltrain


More specifically, I spent Thanksgiving at my auntie's house (fabulous), Black Friday at my auntie's house watching Hallmark Channel Christmas movies (fabulous), Saturday putting up our Christmas tree and rearranging our living spaces (fabulous), Sunday doing not a single blessed thing (fabulous), and Monday working on a story plot and characters (FABULOUS!).
The past few days have been work days, and here we are. Happy December!
This blog is a ~journey~. That much I've known since I started a few months ago. As I learned more about blogging and the communities and the possibilities, the more distant I became from my own blog. I love graphic design, photography is fun, I can do social media — but none of that is what I want to be doing. I want to write, I want to connect. As kaiyaknox.com has evolved, my voice has quietened. I got caught up in branding, Instagram themes, promoting myself everywhere — trying to become a Blogger.
keep sight of your goals, friends.
Y'all, I'm not here for that. I'm not after sponsored content (wouldn't say no to Taco Bell, though, hmu) or polished branding. I'm here to stretch my writing muscles — keep myself warmed up — because I want to be a novelist. I've been out of the fiction-writing game for probably seven years, out of the poetry-writing game for three, but I've always found comfort and inspiration and connections with other writers online.
I guess this realization doesn't change anything. I'll still be rambling about mental health, reviewing books, sharing travel photos and stories. I'm just going to stop thinking so hard about it. This rectangle of space is mine — wherever you are, whatever tech item you're viewing this on — and I want it to be a space where I don't have stress headaches and existential crises every 140 (sorry, 280) characters. So, while you can still find me and contact me quickly everywhere you look on the internet, my primary focus will be here.
No social media goals. No numerical blog goals. No pressure.
P.S. I'm hosting Christmas this year. No idea how that happened.
Oh, Hallmark movies are on our DVR all year round in my home – we love them, even if we shout out plot twist and spoilers before they occur because we've watched so many! Love to Hallmark!
And own your little rectangle, as you call it! Little Snake and I have come to a decision after talking with each other – we're going to start posting twice a month, instead of four times a month. Loss of creativity blah blah blah busy life blah blah blah etc – wanted to keep you in the loop!
Don't hesitate to reach out, as we all reach out to you – email and comments are there for you too, in my case!
Hope December is fantastic and cheery and bright, and I'll check in soon friend!
I love Hallmark movies!!! They are the best/worst movies on the planet.
Good for you with your goals!! And staying true to what you're here for. I think your voice will be well heard since it's so genuine. It comes through in your writing.
❤ Glad you had a good long weekend.
Breathe. Just breathe. Remember to breathe.
5.5 days off the internet wowser, I need to do that!

How to validate particular 2nd row in a table using ROBOT framework

Thank you!!

A: If you are using SeleniumLibrary to test your WebApp:
1. First solution:
Use "Table Cell Should Contain" keyword
[Documentation]
2. Second solution:
-You need is to get all the elements of second row, something like:
${data}   Get WebElements   id=//"id for all elements in second row"

-Then with that you can run a for cycle to check each element:
FOR   ${element}   in   @{data}
   ${data}   Get Text   ${element}
   your test..
END

A: suggest you try another automation library clicknium, similiar as selenium, but instead writing xpath or css-selector,you can define the tablerow or tablecolumn in recorded locator

Suzanne Opton's series Soldier examines the humanity of soldiers who have fought in Iraq or Afghanistan. Describing the intentions of her work, she says, "We all experience strategic moments when we feel most alive. These are the moments we will always remember, be they transcendent or horrific. After all, what are we if not our collection of memories? In making these portraits of soldiers, I simply wanted to look in the face of someone who'd seen something unforgettable."
Suzanne Opton has shown this series in exhibitions at venues such as Light Work; CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, NY; and the Musee de l'Eysee in Lausanne, Switzerland. In addition to billboards that accompanied Light Work's exhibition, Soldier billboards were installed in six states in 2008 and received extensive press coverage, including The New York Times. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Austin Museum of Art in Austin, TX; the Brooklyn Museum in Brooklyn, NY; Library of Congress in Washington, DC; the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, TX; Portland Art Museum in Portland, OR; the Musee de l'Eysee; and the Yale Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, among others. Opton is the recipient of a 2009 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, as well as grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. She participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program in 2005.

February is the shortest month of the year but it is perhaps the most passionate and Mother Nature knows all too well just what to do by giving us a bounty of beets. Hues of luscious reds, rich deep purples and vibrant pinks mixed in with some golden orange tones are popping out with these flavorful and diverse root vegetables during this love month. Beets provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxification support and the leaves as well as the root can all be eaten = a super food indeed. Also in the red category … you may see hints of strawberries and tomatoes available in both hothouse and transplants.
