If I had the time, I could probably write a book on "Why Your Business Needs a Blog." There are so many benefits to blogging such as fueling your SEO to rank higher on the search engines and portraying your brand as the industry leader. Businesses who don't have a blog are missing out on a plethora of opportunity.
A blog is a website or part of a website that features articles in reverse chronological order. Your blogs are listed with the most recent story first. There are more than 150 million blogs in the world, and with today's tech-savvy essence, this number is just going to get bigger.
For a blog to be successful it must offer valuable and relevant content to a specific target audience. Although I aim my blogs toward small business owners and entrepreneurs that are interested in social media and facebook advertising, I also extend my knowledge to all facets of digital marketing.
This should apply to your blog too. If you're going to start a blog you have to gear your writing towards a specific industry and your target audience. You've got to write about content that actually matters to them. This is why some companies fail at blogs. They write about irrelevant things that have nothing to do with their expertise or they update it infrequently.
1. Blogging starts the conversation with your customer.
Although Twitter and Facebook are great tools to start the conversation, they often lead to quick & short-form messages. Yes, quick & easy information is very important, but a blog is an easy way to really get into the conversation and provoke thought with your customers. Blogging for business allows you to show your customer who you really are as a brand.
Sure your customers can click on your "about" section and read a brief bio or short-story about the company, and those sources are extremely important to take advantage of. But, a business blog can serve as a channel for sharing best practices, ideas, tips, and stories that really show how amazing your brand or business really is.
2. Blogging puts your business above the competition.
As a company, you want to be seen as the best. You want people to think of you as the industry-leader. The great thing about blogging is that while you are creating great content for them to read, you are also offering tips & advice which will help build trust and credibility between you and your customers.
Blogging about your product and brand gives consumers a "go- to" to get information and sets you ahead of the competition.
3. Blogging will increase your website traffic.
The most important benefit about blogging is the fact that it can help you to attract customers back to your website. Each new blog article that I distribute almost triples my website traffic.
Quick tip when blogging: use hyperlinks within your blogs to increase your SEO and help Google rank your site faster. <---this is a hyperlink.
Social media is a great way to distribute your blogs and get your content seen. And added bonus: If it's valuable, relevant content (like it's supposed to be) then people will share it and maximize your exposure.
4. Blogging fuels your search engine optimization.
Speaking of Search Engine Optimization, blogs that are updated regularly are seen by Google and other Search Engines and help your website climb the rankings. You see, once you post a blog it's there forever.
Someone could search your keywords months, or even years later, and your blog will still be there to pop up in the search engine results. And hello, the more people that visit your website, the higher your chances are to converting them into sales-buying customers!
5.Blogging can attracts new clients.
In the same manner, don't forget about the marketing advantages of blogging. Many businesses chalk up a large percentage of their revenue from blogging and blogging-related activities, and you can have a piece of that pie.
Show off your product through blogs (skip the sales pitch) and educate your customer on what you offer and explain to them why they NEED your services.
Blogging can be an easy way to expand your brand, target your audience, increase your website traffic, and add customers.
If you don't have the time to blog, hire someone like me to write valuable content and post frequently.
Blog is a good tool for your business!

Carnivores. That's what my people are. Serious carnivores.
Every night at my table you'll find a beautiful top sirloin steak or glazed chicken or some fabulous pork dish, because Cuban. And when we're not serving rice and beans, we're singing the praises of potatoes. Sounds pretty dull, right?
You'd be wrong there. My sides are never boring. If it's going to be meat and potatoes AGAIN, it better darn well be something to dazzle the senses. Sounds dramatic, no? Have you met my family?
I was delighted to be asked if I would like to develop a potato dish recipe by the good folks at Melissa's Produce. Potato dish? Yes, please!
I have been messing and experimenting with slicing up potatoes using a mandolin lately and baking the slices in a hot oven. This time (with my daughter, Lucy's help) we took the slicing and baking to the next level.
Allow me to introduce you to my Crispy Leaf Potatoes Recipe.
Imagine potato chips if they were served in a fancy restaurant, covered with butter and seasoned with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. That's what I'm talking about!
The potatoes are sliced thin and flat like potato chips, buttered, seasoned and baked.
The finished dish is quite the show stopper. Amaze your friends!
Peel the potatoes. After peeling, pat dry (very important!) with paper towels.
Using a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the peeled potatoes the long way.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl. Using your hands, toss with butter, 2 tsp. salt, black pepper, and about 2 tsp. rosemary until all the potato layers are fully coated.
Carefully place the potatoes upright in a small baking dish. Mine is 6×8, but you can use a square 8×8 and get the same effect.
Place the potatoes next to each other without packing them in too tightly as this will impact the crispiness.
Bake for an hour at 400º F, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. (It may take longer, depending on your oven.
Sprinkle with remaining salt and seasonings.
A big thanks to Melissa's Produce for providing those beautiful Yukon gold potatoes. My family loved them!
Marta, I always enjoy your recipes!
I used a mandolin at the 1/8th inch setting. I hope that helps!
Thanks for sharing this piece of information. I really enjoyed it.nice excellent.


Thank you for your support in electing me President of the Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association (PIAA). It is an honor for me to lead this distinguished and diverse group of more than 33,000 alumni from around the world.
I am certain that—like me—you all have many fond memories of your days here, and I know you share my pride in our great alma mater, which continues to be an academic leader at home in New York, in the country, and in the world.
Perhaps you have read in the national media of our ever-growing stature. We were recently voted among the top engineering schools in the country by PayScale; the editors of U.S. News & World Report ranked our online graduate engineering program one of the best around; and Worth magazine deemed our incubators to be one of the nation's "Top 10 Idea Labs." Those are just a few of the accolades that we have garnered this year, and I'm confident that there are many more to come.
I'm assuming leadership at an exciting time in our history. The long-anticipated merger with NYU was finalized on January 1, 2014. Along with a name change—to the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering—the merger brings with it a wealth of new services and benefits for you, and I hope that you will take advantage of them as they are made available.
One thing will never change, however. We will continue to provide opportunities to students from a wide range of backgrounds, including those new to these shores and those who are the first in their families to gain a higher education. We will continue to provide them with the skills and knowledge they need to benefit society and make a difference in the world.
Please join me and the other dedicated members of the PIAA as we support our school, which has long been a beacon of excellence and diversity, in that noble mission.
Fittingly, the theme of this issue of Cable is "collaboration." It takes many people working together to make an institution great and keep it vital. Our wonderful faculty members and staff certainly do their part, and we, as alumni, can help immeasurably as well.
With the new leadership team finalized and committee chairs appointed, I urge you to become involved in the PIAA. Volunteer to serve as a mentor to an eager student, provide an internship, or make a gift to one of our scholarship funds—there are many deeply gratifying ways to lend a hand.
We welcome your thoughts and suggestions about how we can continually improve our organization. Please feel free to contact us at alumni@poly.edu.
My life has been enriched immeasurably by my connection to my alma mater, and I'm sure that many of you would say the same. Only with your individual and collective help, can our alumni association ensure that a new generation of aspiring engineers will be equally enriched.
I recently had the honor of addressing the Class of 2017 at their convocation. As I gazed out at more than 600 eager, young faces, I saw the same hunger for knowledge and drive to change the world that we have all evinced. We must remain committed to helping our current students satisfy that hunger for knowledge, and we must encourage their drive to be innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs. Just as previous generations of devoted alumni extended their support to us, we must do the same for them.

Parler claims it's relaunching this week
Posted on March 3, 2021 March 1, 2021 Author ptc1net	Comments Off on Parler claims it's relaunching this week
Boston — The right-wing friendly social network Parler, which was forced offline following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, says it's re-launching.
The Twitter alternative has been struggling to return online since Amazon stripped it of web-hosting service on Jan. 11 over its unwillingness to remove posts inciting violence. Google and Apple removed Parler's app from their online stores for the same reason.
Parler said in an emailed statement Monday that it would be led by an interim CEO, Mark Meckler of the Tea Party Patriots movement. It said the service would be brought back online for current users this week with new users being able to sign up next week – and wouldn't be reliant on "Big Tech."
The site's homepage, however, was a single, static page whose lead post reminded viewers of "technical difficulties." While it was possible to log in via a different variation of that URL, Parler's iPhone app didn't work, yielding a "networking error" when an Associated Press reporter tried it. Among new posters was Fox News personality Sean Hannity.
Guidelines accessible on the site, dated Feb. 14, said Parler would use technology and human review to remove "threatening or inciting content." They said a "community jury" headed by a Parler employee would hear appeals.
Parler was being hosted by a Los Angeles cloud services company, SkySilk. Ron Guilmette, a California-based internet researcher and activist, said SkySilk appeared to be a small outfit and that it wasn't clear to him whether it could provide adequate security for the site.
In particular, Guilmette cited the need for robust defense against denial-of-service attacks, which flood a site with data traffic to make it inaccessible. Such attacks are a threat to any major internet site – especially if their content is at all controversial.
SkySilk didn't respond to questions about the level of support the company is providing.
Its CEO, Kevin Matossian, said in a statement that the company "does not advocate nor condone hate, rather it advocates the right to private judgment and rejects the role of being the judge, jury and executioner. Unfortunately, too many of our fellow technology providers seem to differ in their position on this subject."
Mattossian added that his company applauded Parler's new community guidelines.
For a time after Amazon dropped it, Parler received denial-of-service protection from a Russian-based outfit called DDoS-Guard. That ended following revelations that DDoS-Guard had provided services to shady operations, including online forums popular with credit card thieves.
In a lawsuit seeking to force Amazon to restore its service, Parler's management claimed that Amazon aimed to deny Mr. Trump "a platform on any large social-media service." That followed Twitter's decision to permanently ban the former president from its service and similar indefinite bans by Facebook and Instagram.
Parler's previous CEO, John Matze, says he was fired on Jan. 29 by the Parler board, which is controlled by conservative donor Rebekah Mercer. At the time, Matze told The New York Times that he'd told Mercer that Parler needed to consider preventing domestic terrorists, white supremacists and followers of QAnon, a baseless conspiracy theory, from posting on the platform.
The 2-1/2-year-old social media site claims 20 million users. Mr. Trump never established an account there, although Buzzfeed reported that he considered buying a stake in Parler while he was president.

The first five books – Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, book of Numbers and Deuteronomy – reached their present form in the Persian period (538–332 BC), and their authors were the elite of exilic returnees who controlled the Temple at that time.

According to both Jewish and Christian Dogma, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy (the first five books of the Bible and the entirety of the Torah) were all written by Moses in about 1,300 B.C. There are a few issues with this, however, such as the lack of evidence that Moses ever existed …
Genesis, Hebrew Bereshit ("In the Beginning"), the first book of the Bible. Its name derives from the opening words: "In the beginning…." Genesis narrates the primeval history of the world (chapters 1–11) and the patriarchal history of the Israelite people (chapters 12–50).
Mark is generally agreed to be the first gospel; it uses a variety of sources, including conflict stories (Mark 2:1–3:6), apocalyptic discourse (4:1–35), and collections of sayings, although not the sayings gospel known as the Gospel of Thomas and probably not the Q source used by Matthew and Luke.

AMAZING: Frequent question: What does the Bible say about being held accountable?
Researcher at Academia.edu. The Book of Joshua does not explicitly name its author. More than likely Joshua the son of Nun, the successor of Moses as leader over Israel, penned much of this book. The latter part of the book was written by at least one other person after the death of Joshua.
However, somewhat different lists of accepted works continued to develop in antiquity and, in the fourth century, a series of Synods or church councils (notably the Council of Rome in 382 CE and the Synod of Hippo in 393 CE) produced a definitive list of texts which resulted in the current 46 book canon of the "Old …
It's important to mention that not all Christian denominations consider the same books to be canon. Most Protestant Bibles have 66 books, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament. The Roman Catholic Bible has 73 books including the seven known as the Apocrypha.
Judges 3 tells us that "Shamgar … struck down 600 Philistines with an oxgoad. He saved Israel" (vs. 31) and Judges 5 says, "In the days of Shamgar …the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths" (vs. 6).

Olsen twins to participate in "Full House"…
Olsen twins to participate in "Full House" revival, after all?
By Chuck Barney |
PUBLISHED: July 28, 2015 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 7, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
Don"t rule out the Olsen twins participating in Netflix"s revival of "Full House."
On Tuesday, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said Mary-Kate and Ashley "are teetering on whether or not they"ll be around" for "Fuller House." His statement conflicts with earlier reports that insisted the twins would not participate in the new show.
Sarandos, appearing before journalists at the Television Critics Association press tour, explained why Netflix is so interested in revisting a series that left the air in 1995.
"It"s a really unique show in the culture in that it never really went away," he said, referring to syndicated reruns. "It"s also the rare cross-generational show that parents watch with their kids."
Sarandos said the new series, featuring original stars Bob Saget, John Stamos and Dave Coulier, will be "very much in the spirit of the original."
The first episode was shot last week, he said, and the "actors have fallen right back into those roles."

Girls in their sports crowns at Camp WIN in KC, Mo sponsored by the Kansas City Sports Commission.
News — Oh the places I've traveled!
In the past month, I have had the opportunity to meet the most amazing women, girls, boys and men that continue to influence me as an author and advocate for girls and women in sports. I attended Duchesne Academy for Girls and Challenge Girls' Soccer Club - both in Houston. Shelly Bean attended the Ann Bancroft Foundation 20th Anniversary Gala and met legends like Jane Cowles, Cheryl Reeve, Ann Bancroft and Plinette Pierson. Women pioneering the sports world! I met strong and aspiring girls at the MN Girls' Basketball All-star event and clinic and learned about a young lady who has been practicing her ball-handling skills outside every day (even in the cold MN weather) because of what she heard in my talk. I'm so proud to partner with organizations like Empower (Pam Borton) and WIN for KC to further opportunities and leadership skills for girls. Life is full.

As a children's book author, every month I am speaking to youth in their schools about the benefits of participation in sports and fitness activities. In 2016 alone, I spoke to over 10,000 kids and what is amazing to me is that they all say the same things when asked about what they love about playing and how it makes them feel. "I feel happy when I play!" "I like to be with my friends." "I like pushing myself to get better." "I like going to games with my parents." Never once in the last year did a child say, "I like winning!" Don't get me wrong. We all like winning – it feels great! But these children are a great reminder to me each and every time I'm with them that winning isn't everything. In fact, it's obsolete. Take note parents, grandparents and coaches – let's celebrate the love of the game!

In a conference held in Mandera town, the governor from the region said the amnesty would help Al-Shabaab youth from the region to return and reform.
Mandera governor, Ali Roba who is the host governor noted that dozens of fighters from the region fear to return their homes saying amnesty will help them reform their lives and integrate the society peacefully.
"There are dozens of youth from this region who were misled to join the terror Al-Shabaab but now are willing denounce the group, therefore, we need the government to offer them a chance to return their homes without fear," he said.
Mr. Roba said terrorism had led to the poor development and they needed to act.
He said several key projects have either stalled or failed to start because of violence. Therefore it's necessary to fight the terrorists he said.
"We are not only suffering as a result of targeted terror attacks on our population but we also seem to have fallen into the trap set by the terror cells of dividing people along religious and communal lines," Roba said.
He said that while Al-Shabab is targeting mainly Somalis in Somalia, they are pitting Kenyans against each other.
Roba said they target non-locals, frightening them away and thereby hurting the economy, Their aim in Kenya is economic sabotage, as in Somalia, the governor said.
"By killing non-local quarry workers they have successfully managed to bring down the entire construction industry which is the only major economic opportunity for thousands of Mandera residents," Roba said.
He said many schools have remained without teachers, crippling the entire education sector. Terrorists also have disrupted the health sector by killing health workers," Roba said.
"Their attacks are worse than colonization. They have made our schools, hospitals, quarries and all other critical sectors of our economy lack human resource because of fear," said Mr Roba.
He urged the public to volunteer information to the police or risk being isolated by the whole country because of the terrorist activities.
For his part, Garissa governor Ali Korane who presided over the conference said terrorism cannot be combated and ended with guns.
"You cannot fight a problem if you are part of it. Our first commitment should be to engage the government and see to it that our youths in the ranks of Al-Shabaab are given amnesty after returning from Somalia. That's because they are the genesis of all the problems we are facing today," said Korane.

The market thinks that Greek bondholders will take more than a 50% haircut.
Agreed – the trend in this whole saga is that any time a number is mentioned, you almost know it's going to end up being bigger.
Ok – so walk me through the math here – if I buy a $100 bond November 1st, it's supposed to pay me $192 over the year and then return my capital next November. Right? Even if yield is cut in half ($96) and the value of the bond itself is cut in half ($50) – I'd still have $146 next November – which is a 50% gain.
Feel free to explain this to me like I'm a six-year-old.
Thanks for the explanation Preet!
what is the name of your business and how can i contact you to get some help in financial planning. i am thinking of retiring next year, 68 years old.

Q: Как сделать фотосъемку из консоли? Собственно, такой вот вопрос. Как сделать фотосъемку из камеры Android?
Даже конкретно под Linux я нашёл лишь одну команду с ffmpeg:
 ~ # ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -r 1 -i /dev/video0 -f image2 image.png -t 1

Но в моём случае она не работает даже из под Kali Nethunter. Java я не хочу принципиально, да и пишу я консольный Linux бинарник.
Нашёл библиотеку /system/lib/android.hardware.camera.common.so и ещё парочку с похожим названием. Но вот как к ним правильно слинковаться, как их вообще в коде использовать - мне неясно.
Как сделать фото из консоли, посредством Linux бинарников, в Android?

A: Если устройство подключено к компьютеру, то сделать это можно через adb.
adb shell "am start -a android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE" # открыть камеру

adb shell "input keyevent KEYCODE_CAMERA" # сфотографировать

Эти же команды можно выполнить с самого устройства, например, через терминал Termux, но вводить команды нужно без префикса adb shell:
am start -a android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE # открыть камеру

input keyevent KEYCODE_CAMERA # сфотографировать

Чтобы узнать больше про команду am (activity manager), наберите adb shell am или посмотрите в документации.

Rossweisse is one of the many female protagonists of High School DxD. A former bodyguard for Odin, she is currently acting as the Civics Teacher at Kuoh Academy and Class 3-B's Homeroom Teacher. She was formerly Rias Gremory's second Rook, alongside Koneko Toujou, but now serves as Issei Hyoudou's first Rook and is one of his fiancées.
Rossweisse is a beautiful young woman with long, straight silver hair and aqua-colored eyes who appears to be in her late teens. Her body measurements are [B96-W61-H89 cm] [B38-W24-H35 in]; height is 173 cm (5 feet 8 inches) and body weight is [59 kg].
Her battle attire is normally of a set of Valkyrie armor, which consists of a white breastplate with gold and pale blue accents and matching, fingerless gauntlets, boots, hip guards, and wing-shaped hair clips. She also wears a black leotard underneath her breastplate, black thigh-high stockings, and a pale blue cloth wrapped underneath her hip guards, all of which are clad with pink lacing along with her hair clips.
For her teaching position at Kuoh Academy, she wears a simple business suit and skirt. When she is not at work, she is noted for often wearing cheap, plain jerseys. It was pointed out by Euclid that Rossweisse has a strong resemblance to his sister, Grayfia, as both of them have silver hair.
Rossweisse is known to be a very serious person, acting professional prioritizing work and study above all else since her youth, this however, caused her to miss out on romance, thus is extremely bitter and sensitive about not having a boyfriend and is quick to anger or sadness when made fun of. She has taken a liking to her role as a teacher in education for her students, making sure they understand her lessons and helping them whenever they're in a bind and is appreciated for it. Rossweisse has little tolerance for those who behave unprofessionally, especially for lewd acts at inappropriate times. When she lectures them on standards, they usually retort with her simply being jealous. This may have some truth to it as on numerous occasions she has expressed interests in doing perverted things with her future boyfriend, she also desires her lover to be financially stable with a bright future.
Despite her seriousness, she is stated to be clumsy and has a tendency to make rash decisions without informing anyone. She is highly susceptible to alcohol as one drink from it can leave her drunk and vomit for extended periods of time. Rossweisse has a lot of repressed baggage from upholding her uptight and modest demeanor which goes out the window when drunk and begins opening her true thoughts and frustrations. She also has a compulsion to buy things at sales when they're cheap, showing enthusiastic excitement whenever she goes to 100-Yen shops, causing Issei to dub her "The 100-Yen Shop Valkyrie". Rossweisse also has a tendency to speak using her country's accent when she is flustered.
Like the other girls, Rossweisse acts like someone her age whenever she is on a date with Issei as she ended up acting shy when she was called cute. She soon develops romantic feelings for Issei in Volume 17 when he proclaimed to her that he will protect her from Euclid, which he did.
After falling in love with Issei and becoming engaged to him, Rossweisse has started to partake in perverted activities she normally frowns upon, such as wanting him to apply suntan oil on her, sleeping with him while wearing revealing lingerie and fighting with the other girls over him.
Rossweisse was raised in the countryside by her grandmother, Göndul, as both her parents are warriors who serve the Norse Gods and rarely come home. Rossweisse was born into a house that specializes in three types of spiritual magic known as the rune, gandol, and seiz styles that have been down through her family generations. While still a child, Rossweisse went through several ceremonies that were meant for her to inherit her family's magical crest, but she wasn't able to inherit it, and her cousin ended up receiving the position as the family head instead. She previously had difficulty living up to her families expectations due to Rossweisse's incompatibility with the magic seiz-style.
As a consequence of trying to make up for her perceived shortcomings in magic, Rossweisse's school life was completely academic, to the point that she did not have a social life and looked down on her classmates that rarely spent any time studying, which contributed to Rossweisse's rapid grade skipping through high-school and college and her degrading nickname, "The Valkyrie that's never had a boyfriend."
Her talent in other fields grew exponentially enough to surprise her parents, however, it was still not enough to live up to everyone's high standards, yet after all this time, her clan was still very understanding as they did not blame or criticize her for her shortcomings.
While in college, Rossweisse wrote an essay about Trihexa but never published it. Regardless, she is considered to be a sought-after expert on the creature by Qlippoth. While working as a Valkyrie, she had trouble finding souls of hero's to bring to Valhalla. At some point before the series, she was appointed as Odin's bodyguard. During her time with Odin, Rossweisse was basically used as a maid by Odin, taking care of him during his trips, supporting Odin with his daily life, despite her small salary, and was even mistreated by her fellow Valkyries who called her Odin's "Servant Girl".
Rossweisse's Valkyrie Magic Circle
Demonic Power: As a Devil, Rossweisse has the power common to a Devil. Power to cast spells and special phenomenon, she can also use her demonic powers to enhance her magic skills.
Master Magician: Rossweisse is highly proficient in the use of Norse magic, specializing in long-range and bombarding attacks. She is even capable of using summoning and teleportation spells. According to Le Fay, the Norse magic circles Rossweisse use is of a very rare type, incorporating very high-level magic symbols in her magic formula. Le Fay described Rossweisse's self-invented magic technique as extremely intricate and well made and is of such difficulty that only skilled magic experts can use it. Given the fact that Rossweisse can use such difficult magic techniques so easily is a testament to her great magic skill. In Volume 11, it is stated by Azazel that her power is equal to that of a High Class devil. Rossweisse magic talent is so formidable that she could theorize the creation of a sealing spell powerful enough to seal Trihexa, and even Euclid stated that Rossweisse magic abilities are exceptional and is in no way inferior to her grandmother Göndul a famous master of magic. In Volume 22, Rossweisse can use enhancement magic to enhanced her and others physical abilities. In Volume 25, Rossweisse was able to fight on par with Brynhildr, who is the Strongest Valkyrie in Asgard. In True Volume 1, Rossweisse can use hypnotism magic on Ingvild Leviathan to lose consciousness. In True Volume 2, due to the power of her magic being enhanced by her Mistilteinn wand, she was capable of initially overwhelming Akeno, who is a powerful Fallen Angel who can user Holy Lighting.
Elemental Magic: She notably excels in the use of ice, fire, water, lightning, wind, thunder, light and explosive-based magic.
Defense Magic: Upon returning from her training in Valhalla in Volume 12, Rossweisse starts to use defensive spells (using the trait of Rook), which are strong enough to easily shield against Balance Breakers. She also learned defense magic to negate the adverse effect of touching holy objects such as Holy Swords and the Holy Bible for a short period of time. As seen when she used two of Xenovia's Excalibur fragments (Transparency and Mimic) by putting multiple layers of defense magic on her hand during Rias-Sairaorg Rating Game match and reading a bible without suffering a severe headache.
Sealing/Barrier Magic: Rossweisse can use sealing magic which she learned by researching information about Trihexa. She could use her Barrier magic to seal the movements of mass-produced Evil Dragons in Volume 19 by studying Asia's Evil Dragons. By modifying her technique, her sealing barrier technique was used by Three Powers to seal the Emperor Beast of Apocalypse. She could also use it in combat to seal her foes. Her barrier was even effective against Armaros, the Grigori anti-magic specialist although she needed time to prepare a stronger barrier as his anti-magic abilities could destroy a half-baked barrier. In Volume 25, Rossweisse, by enhancing her power with Mistilteinn, could use her Barrier magic to seal off entire areas to prevent her foes from escaping.
Cloth Manipulation: Rossweisse is capable of using magic to altering her attire, changing from her formal suit into her Valkyrie armor.
Flight: Before she was reincarnated, Rossweisse could fly via magic like Loki could. After being reincarnated as a Devil, Rossweisse can now fly using her devil wings.
Mistilteinn Wand: An old-looking wand made out of mistilteinn (mistletoe), possessing powerful magic. In Volume 25, Mistilteinn can strengthen Rossweisse's magic and spells, such as her defensive magic to guard against Brynhildr's magically-imbued sword and strengthen her offensive magic bombardment enough to retire Brynhildr with a single blast.
Rossweisse's birthday is on August 8th.[1]
Rossweisse is the only child of her parents.
Rossweisse, being a Valkyrie, is said to be a "Half-God".
Rossweisse is the name of one of the Valkyries featured in Richard Wagner's opera Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).
Rossweisse from German, (Roßweiße) means "white steed".
Despite being in her late teens, she has already finished high school and most of college in Valhalla.
In the future, Rossweisse has stated that she wants to establish a Norse magic school in the Gremory territory, and start a business training new Valkyries out of female Devils.
Rossweisse's dream is to build a discount store in her homeland which has every good imaginable.
She held the record for the longest duration of being Odin's escort.
Issei called her "moving cannon" due to the fact that she is a wizard-type Rook.
Rossweisse reviews and presents 100 yen merchandise on DeviTube. Her videos are a huge hit with the underworld citizens.
Rossweisse is the third female character to be placed into an engagement, the first being Rias, and second, being Kiyome Abe. Among these girls, she is the only one who didn't fall in love with Issei after he saved her as she already loved him before the engagement.
Rossweisse has a driving license.
One of Rossweisse's romantic dreams was to go on a driving date with a guy, which she finally fulfilled with Issei.
In the dub, Rosswiesse is pronounced "Rossvisa" by Issei, Asia, and Azazel.

Amelia Kruse could stand in any room, and I'm fairly confident eventually everyone would gravitate toward her. She has a gentle, positive and thoughtful way that draws out a more open and introspective side of you as you're chatting. In a city that can feel quite tough sometimes, she's a welcome change in energy. Amelia was formerly running People Insights at Refinery29 when she naturally found herself mentoring the women at the company, then furthering that interest through study and ultimately establishing her Leadership & Transition Coaching practice. She now meets with clients at different life stages and choice points in life. Since many of us find ourselves navigating changes in our careers and relationships, Amelia shared her in-depth perspectives on some of my personal questions about the value of coaching during the transition into motherhood - specifically building a strong inner voice to manage the inevitable identity shifts, comparison culture and unsolicited advice more confidently.
I hear a lot about coaching in the professional context, what are the other applications? How do you see it of value to new mothers?
Coaching is about building and maintaining a strong core that is authentic to who you are and who you want to be in this world. Specifically, coaching helps new, seasoned and expecting moms move through motherhood transitions and reach their potential not only as a parent but as a unique individual who has multiple important roles in life.
The most important thing to realize is that we are all different. We have unique minds, unique ways of seeing the world and unique methods of understanding and analyzing our environment. Taking advice from others can help (when it is asked for!) but it is immensely more important to build a strong core that allows you to believe in and listen to your own knowledge and intuition when dealing with new challenges and transitions. Coaching also helps moms prioritize their own well-being and the well-being of all their relationships.
The idea of a core is compelling as it feels very grounding and secure. Can you spell out what it means and how it impacts our day to day?
A strong core is about having deep self-awareness and emotional intelligence (EQ). Self-awareness is not only about understanding who you are, what your values are, your strengths and weaknesses, but how to leverage these core aspects to figure out and fulfill your dreams in a way that is authentic to you. Once you're on a path of discovering and building self-awareness, having a high EQ is key to living in the outside world peacefully and bringing your core to life in whatever situation you find yourself in. Whether that be learning how to breastfeed, living off no sleep or dealing with the crazy hormonal changes, this core of self-awareness and empathy will provide you with a foundation to better navigate this new transition.
EQ is about being able to understand where others are coming from and to manage their emotions effectively - to not only be able to put yourself in another's shoes, but to see how they walk in those shoes and have respect for it. Self-awareness and empathy are key to dealing with whatever challenges cross our path and to see those challenges as opportunities to learn and grow from. Having empathy for those around you during this transition will help you to see their actions in a more positive light and to deal with them in a more effective way. If, for example, you feel like your partner isn't helping you as much as he should or if your mother-in-law is giving you unsolicited advice, it allows you to see where they may be coming from and to manage your response to your own emotions as well as theirs, more productively.
Having a strong core builds self-confidence and an internal calmness that radiates from a person in the form of positive energy. And the more positive energy we have the more positive energy we attract. We know now babies and children (and adults for that matter!) all pick up on our energy intuitively and take it on. So if you are stressed and coming from a place of self distrust, your baby can pick up on those feelings.
What goes into building that core and internal sense of self and clarity?
Exploring what you truly want in life for yourself, and who you want to show up as for your child and partner is the foundation. Knowing what your next step is, whether that's focusing this time on motherhood, going back to work or starting something completely new, comes from inside you, not from external influences and other people. To be able to hear your inner voice louder and clearer than all the other voices around you and being able to act on it authentically, is a result of building a strong core.
Coaching encourages the exploration required to forge a path that is authentic to them and who they want to be as a mom, a wife, a professional and a unique woman. With coaches, mothers can get at the heart of what's driving the fears and negative thinking behavior that is causing specific issues to turn up in their life. This allows them to more effectively set up a blueprint to authentically deal with any type of challenge in the long-term.
Why would someone choose a coach versus a therapist?
Coaching is distinct from other service professions such as therapy, as the philosophy is based on focusing not on the past, but on a roadmap from the present to the future. Nobody needs coaching, you need to want coaching. You need to want to change for the better, to transform, to strengthen and reach your fullest potential. If however as a coach we notice behaviors in our clients that suggest they may need to see a therapist, we always suggest this and may put a pause on coaching until the client is in the right place to start again.
Coaching is also distinct from mentoring. Coaches don't ever tell you what to do or feel, we help you find this authentic action, thought or feeling that is deep inside you and support you to act on it. Studies carried out on the brain show that when a person is empowered to come up with their own solutions, they have 'aha' moments that allow them to put their solution into practice successfully and for the long-term.
What would a relationship with a coach look like?
Coaches all work slightly differently, so it is important that you make sure you find the right one for you (also make sure they are accredited by the International Coaching Federation!). I work with individuals who are committed to transforming how they see themselves, expanding their world, and reaching their fullest potential as an authentic leader in their life. I have a holistic coaching style that focuses on the whole person, and I am a firm believer that every individual is the expert in their own unique life. My philosophy is informed by emotional intelligence theory, neuroscience and positive psychology and I focus on being your support system every step of the way - encouraging you but also keeping you accountable to your progress. My coaching engagements are for a minimum of 3 months and consist of weekly 1 hour sessions typically held over the phone, assessments and customized action-steps between sessions, and access to me via email, text or quick phone calls between sessions for support. Working through transitions authentically doesn't happen overnight but with time and dedication, it will happen!

Q: How to show only first level subdir in bash auto-completion? I have this bash completion file
#/etc/bash_completion.d/mycommand

_mycommand()
{
    local cur
    COMPREPLY=()

    _init_completion || return

    #Variable to hold the current word
    cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"

    #array variable COMPREPLY

    dirs=('Rootdir/
        Secondrootdir/
        Rootdir/Subdir/
        Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
        Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/
        Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
    )

    COMPREPLY=($(compgen -W "$dirs" "$cur"))

}

#Assign the auto-completion function _mycommand for our command mycommand.
complete -F _mycommand mycommand

When I have multiple choice and hit TAB twice I see following:
$ mycommand Secondrootdir/
Secondrootdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/
Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/

But I want to see only one-level deep subdirs of the current entered Secondrootdir
like this:
$ mycommand Secondrootdir/
Anothersubdir/ Thirdsubdir/

cd command does business well
$ cd Music/
kattymusic/ Playlists/  Relax/

But I can't understand how cd auto-completion works.
May anybody help me, please?

A: Many thanx to the post
Bash completion: compgen a wordlist as if they were paths - Only suggest up until next slash
finally the code looks like this
#/etc/bash_completion.d/mycommand

_mycommand()
{
    local cur i

    _init_completion || return

    compopt -o filenames

    #Variable to hold the current word
    cur="${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}"

    dirs='Rootdir/Subdir/ Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'

    # If we include root dirs we have to remove them
    # e.g we have Secondrootdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/ Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
    # we need to skip the shorties path and remain only the longest one Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'
    # dirs='Rootdir/
    #     Secondrootdir/
    #     Rootdir/Subdir/
    #     Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/
    #     Secondrootdir/Thirdsubdir/
    #     Secondrootdir/Anothersubdir/Subsubdir/'

    arr=($(compgen -W "$dirs" -- $cur))
    for path in "${arr[@]}"
    do

        local trailing_trim

        # Determine what to trim from the end
        trailing_trim="${path#${cur%/*}/}/"
        trailing_trim="${trailing_trim#*/}"
        trailing_trim="${trailing_trim%/}"

        # Don't add a space if there is more to complete
        [[ "$trailing_trim" != "" ]] && compopt -o nospace

        # Remove the slash if mark-directories is off
        if ! _rl_enabled mark-directories
        then
            # If The current typed path doesnt have a slash in it yet check if
            # it is the full first portion of a path and ignore everything after
            # if it is. We don't have to do this once the typed path has a slash
            # in it as the logic above will pick up on it
            [[ "$cur" != */* && "$path" == ${cur}/* ]] && path="$cur/$trailing_trim"

            trailing_trim="/$trailing_trim"
        fi

        COMPREPLY[i++]="${path%%${trailing_trim}}"

    done

}

#Assign the auto-completion function _mycommand for our command mycommand.
complete -F _mycommand mycommand

A: I've found the solution and it's incredibly simple.
Just one line of code does the magic
# This forces readline to only display the last item separated by a slash

Water Transformations
It's time for another At Water's Edge challenge! This week's challenge was to find water sounds and do something interesting with them. The water could be in any form (solid, liquid, vapor), and the only restriction was that it had to be actual water, not synthetic water-like sounds. Otherwise, fair game!
The results were, as you might expect, wildly varied. Some artists used water sounds as a backdrop; some used only the water sounds, heavily processed; many were a combination.
And yes, there is a "peebient" track or four. LOL!
http://media.blubrry.com/atwatersedge/content.blubrry.com/atwatersedge/AWE20170930RS0023-WaterTransformations.mp3
Note: The original tracks created for the program are now available as a downloadable album. Any donations received for the album go directly to support radio station operations. Thank you!

This track is nothing but water sounds (including some, ah, potty noises), created in a few hours, and submitted about 14 hours before showtime.
drip – Joe McMahon (Unreleased, 2017)
Similar to Palacar's track, Joe submitted this at pretty much the 11th hour. The track was made from freesound.org samples, one in particular that was rhythmic and interesting — then, of course processed in inimitable Joe McMahon fashion.
Blessed Ordinariness – Skr0!nk – Random (unreleased, 2017)
This track consists of sounds you find in a kitchen: ice in a crystal wine glass, boiling water, water from the faucet sprayer, with some voice layered over it, and all is layered and processed beyond recognition. The sounds that resemble a soft-mallet cymbal roll were the ice cubes being dropped into a glass, then altered using software effects: vocoder, reverb, reverse, selective EQ, and paulstretch at varying rates. The result was a happy accident, so this track definitely qualifies as "experimental" ambient. The text is "Blessed ordinariness. Peace in the home. Serenity in the kitchen." It's the first formal release of a track for this new ambient project.
Light Through Water – Joe McMahon – Ocean Music (2009)
If it hadn't been for Palancar persuading Joe that this album was worth releasing, it would never have seen the light of day. But boy, are we glad it did. Elegant and moody and gorgeous, this album exemplifies Joe's style. Unlike much of the ambient canon, which relies heavily on resonance and "space" for effect, Joe's tracks are often dry and quite spare, creating a kind of contemplative intimacy that is entirely unique.

You may or may not know about the common wisdom regarding used car purchases: "Don't buy while gas prices are high." And sure enough, as gas prices go up, so do used car prices. But why? And how can you make this work to your advantage?
There are two reasons used car prices go up when gas prices go up, one economic and the other psychological.
This is fairly straightforward: a lot of us are driving cars that are old. Very old. The average age of the American car is a smidge more than a decade, and as quality of cars sold improves and prices for new cars stay up, people tend to cling to their vehicles longer. The rough economy of late really hasn't helped things: most people, if they're buying a car, are looking for a used car because, hey, it's cheaper.
But a car from 10 years ago is a total gas hog compared to newer versions. For example, even the gas-guzzling Cadillac Escalade had an MPG of 13 city and 17 highway in 2002, and a decade later, that's improved. Not much: a 2011 Escalade gets 14 city and 18 highway. But it's still an improvement, and you'll feel that missing mile or so in your wallet a lot more over the life of the car.
So, especially when gas prices are high, people are looking to trade in their older car for something newer that gets at least somewhat better mileage. Needless to say, the most fuel-efficient cars see the highest demand, especially late model sedans and smaller cars.
The psychological aspect is a bit more difficult to explain, although all it really takes is a moment to stop and think about it. Most people have a car payment as a monthly expense, but filling up the tank happens at least once a week, maybe two or three times a week. The road warriors among us might be at the pump every single day.
And, realistically, it doesn't take long for you to start looking at your receipts from the gas station and start thinking, "Geez, a lot of my paycheck goes straight into the gas tank. I need to do something about that." And, if gas goes up substantially like it did earlier in the year, it's going to weigh a lot more on your mind, especially if you think you can get a payment close to your current one and save on gas. Furthermore, newer cars tend to have lower auto insurance costs, which can be an added incentive.
Ever wonder why used car lots tend to have gas stations nearby? Now you know.
So, how do you make all of this work in your favor?
If you're buying a used car, keep an eye on gas prices and wait. Remember, there are a quarter billion cars on the road right now. Demand might be high for the car you want, but you can probably wait.
If you need a new car, don't think the price is locked in; haggle. After all, that salesman will never know when gas prices will start to sink.
If you're selling, keep a close eye on prices; and more importantly, what used car lots are charging for your car versus what they're offering you. You have some leverage, after all. The sooner they get your car, the sooner they can sell it, so you can use that to your advantage.

Signed Mangiamo Let's Eat cookbook from the Sebastiani Vinyeards family. Sylvia Sebastiani inscribed and autographed this cookbook which shares recipes from her collection of old Italian specialties and self-created dishes. Aunt Mary's Italian Biscotti, Osso Buco, Cioppino and Pannettone are just a few of the recipes found inside the cookbook.
Description: Some of America's finest wines are produced in California's beautiful Sonoma Valley. It is in this wine growing region that Sebastiani Vineyards, a third-generation family-owned winery, has earned worldwide recognition for the production of fine wines. The original vineyard was planted in 1825, by padres of the Mission de Sonoma and the winery was founded by Samuele Sebastiani in 1904.
Sylvia Sebastiani's late husband, August Sebastiani, was a dynamic and highly regarded winemaker, presiding over the winery from 1944 to 1980. It is still very much a family affair as Sylvia's oldest son, Sam J. Sebastiani, is now president of Sebastiani Vineyards. In her more than 45 years of marriage to August, Mrs. Sebastiani accumulated the recipes found in this collection. Some are old Italian specialties dating back centuries; other taste delights, such as a delicious butter ball soup, were created in her own kitchen. There are interesting variations on familiar Italian themes -- including a favorite aunt's superb biscotti or Sylvia's own special version of osso buco, cioppino or calamari.
Sylvia Sebastiani's culinary experimenting began as a young girl, and her cookbook benefits from her long experience. She offers hints for cooking meats, vegetables, soups and desserts. There are tips for removing a cake from a sticky pan, cutting cookie baking time in half, making rice whiter, etc., etc.
Sylvia Sebastiani is a native of California. She and August were high school sweethearts. As she recalls it, every Sunday August would leave her with his mother while he went off to fish. This continued until they were married, when Sylvia was not quite nineteen. Then she began cooking those special Sunday dinners and August stayed home for the feasts! Marriage to a winemaker has given Mrs. Sebastiani an expertise in wine as well as in the kitchen. Her suggestions for beverage accompaniments are sprinkled throughout these pages. The Sebastiani Family Cookbook was written after years of urging by friends and relatives. Now, at last, Sylvia Sebastiani offers her mouth-watering recipes to a wide audience.

Marked improvement can result from lifting the forehead to rejuvenate the tired appearing face, while relaxing the thick muscles to soften the stern or angry frown lines. A browlift may be done independently or in conjunction with another facial procedure such as a facelift or eyelid surgery to achieve the desired look.
There are a number of techniques to smooth the forehead and elevate the brow. Practitioners always tout the technique they use as being the "best" but more likely the procedure some view as "the best" is primarily the operation they are more comfortable with. Surgeon's comfort should not triumph patient results in browlifting or any procedure where the results of the two procedures are different.

Sharing the stage with the likes of Jessica Mauboy, Sheppard and Thirsty Merc, the one-day event at Lake Breeze promises a perfect day of contemporary music, food and wine.
SA born and bred Hosking joins fellow local acts Joshy Willo, Ash Gale and DJ, Ryley to complete the lineup for her first ever festival, which she is thrilled about.
"I've never done a festival before so the fact that I've been privileged enough to be put on the bill is so cool. I am so excited and nervous. To be chosen to support some incredible artists is amazing," she says.
"In year two, I wrote my first little song which gave me my first taste of song writing."
Despite being her first festival, the 21-year-old certainly isn't new to music.
She's been writing music since childhood and has a number of accomplishments to her name.
"I just loved performing, dancing and acting when I was little, so any opportunity I could get, I took. I couldn't get enough of it. I did a lot of stage productions and I became part of every choir and band at school. I tried every different instrument – not that I was amazing at any of them, but I continued with piano," she laughs.
From her humble beginnings as the only song writer in year two at St Peters Girls School, Hosking continued the lonely road to success through primary school.
"When I was in about year five, they offered me a singing position in the St Peters Girls rock band which was unheard of because it was mainly only senior students; but because I was the only one who was song writing, they asked me to join," she says.
"My songs weren't very good but they happily entertained the idea. My teacher gave me encouragement that I could do what I whatever I wanted to do. I recorded a couple of songs there and then I continued that pathway."
These days, Hosking is signed with a publishing house, writes with a range of artists, has written a chart topping song and she's barely entered her twenties.
After releasing her first album, Wish in 2012, a Sydney based publisher recognised her song writing talent and approached her to work with them.
"I'm signed to Perfect Pitch Publishing," she says. "It was massive because it was my very first album and they picked it up straight away. I write songs and send them to Perfect Pitch and if they like them they send them on to record labels."
As well as Perfect Pitch, Hosking is working with a number of DJs at home and overseas, and her music is currently being heard around the club circuit in Europe.
"It's just all about taking every opportunity and making the most of it. It's been an awesome ride so far."
"I've just released some dance tracks that have done quite well in Europe. The guys speak French so it can be pretty difficult but we've done three or four tracks and they've been doing the party scene. They're quite Euro. They're intense dance, techno, trap style. Whatever that means!" she laughs.
"I love working with DJs because it's easy having someone to bounce off, even if they don't speak your language! They have their sound and you can kind of chuck stuff in there and send things back and forth. I've really enjoyed doing it."
But it's not just the DJs who are interested in Hosking's writing. She recently received an opportunity via Music SA to travel interstate and work with world-renowned writers.
"Music SA are such incredible supporters. They got me into this thing called 50 Songs in 5 Days. It's a song writing camp in Sydney. It was such a humbling experience to be chosen. I got to write with a bunch of song writers, producers and artists," she says.
"I got to work with Christina Aguilera and Beyonce's songwriters; with the Potbelleez lead singer and Jake Stone from Bluejuice. I worked with The X Factor and The Voice contestants from Australia and New Zealand, and from doing that, one of the songs I co-wrote got cut for Celia Pavey, one of the contestants on The Voice who released it. It's called 'Body' and it made it into the top ten of the iTunes charts."
With so much experience in so young an artist, Hosking is at an exciting time in her career; but the humble musician insists she is only now just finding her forte.
"I'm still quite green and I don't know everything. I'm still locally based, but I've been fortunate enough to be able to write in America. It is a business so I'm also learning that side of things; it's not just all fun and games. It's a job and I've had many learning curves. But it's just all about taking every opportunity and making the most of it. It's been an awesome ride so far," she says.
"Wish was my introduction to the music industry. It's a combination of songs I've been writing since I was twelve. 'Wish on a Star' is a song I wrote when I was thirteen. I'm 21 now and I'm at a different place. I'm constantly learning and progressing and I've found my niche now."
Her niche, though, could be as varied and versatile as the rising star herself, with her ability to write for a range of genres and styles.
"I'm a songwriter so however I'm feeling and whatever I'm listening to; I just want to express it. When I was younger I listened to a lot of heavy rock music and I loved bands. I was listening to a lot of Screamo and I really liked writing heavy, lyric-based stuff for males," she says.
"I'm still trying to find my sound and what I want to be. At the moment it's quite eclectic. I've just come back from Brisbane where I recorded some hip hop tracks."
"I'm glad I grew up in Adelaide because it's helped me to define my sound."
Defining her style as pop/Aussie hip hop, Hosking attributes her diverse ability and music taste to growing up in Adelaide and listening to local artists.
"Rapping and Aussie hip hop has a strong place in Adelaide and that's been a real influence on me. I've always been heavily into hip hop, and having the Hilltop Hoods growing up were a real inspiration," she says.
"It's hard to be an Adelaide person and not have heard of people like The Hoods, Allday and Tkay Maidza because Adelaide is so small, but also because they're so influential. I'm glad I grew up in Adelaide because it's helped me to define my sound."
Her recent work with ARIA nominated producer Stuart Stuart, (who produced The Veronica's first two records and Sheppard's album), has seen her being part of a hip hop revolution of sorts.
"Normally you have the feature person doing the chorus and the artist doing the rap but I'm doing both. I don't know many people doing that and that excites me. It's pretty similar to Allday. Tkay Maidza is also doing similar stuff," she says.
Managed by Scott Ireland, Hosking is taking advantage of every opportunity that comes her way, Handpicked Festival being no exception.
She's written and recorded for artists, performed her own music around SA and even had a stint on The X Factor, but this Adelaide girl is grounded, strong willed and prepared to work hard for her success.
After leaving St Peters Girls to finish up her schooling at Pembroke School, Hosking learned musicianship and production.
Now, despite being approached weekly by international artists to write with them, she still seeks advice from her teachers about her music and choices.
"I have a small team of people I like to work with. I have my manager who has recently come on board, and my singing coaches who have been there from the start and who are major supporters. If I have an idea I love to run it by them and I trust their opinion. My manager, Scott has been amazing because he's helping the crazy musician's mind to focus!" she laughs.
You can check out Alex Hosking's album Wish on iTunes or better yet, head along to Handpicked Festival where you can enjoy the music of this impressive young woman against a picturesque winery backdrop. By Libby Parker

Satispay Raises Over €18 Million in Its Third Funding Round
Hotnews, Payment processors/providers/gateways September 15, 2017
By LTP
Record-breaking figure for Satispay's fundraising
The third funding round has closed at over €18 million
The new capital increase brings the total funding to over €26.8 million
Among the subscribers: new important institutional and industrial partners
Milan, September 7, 2017 – Satispay is a young company from Italy that is contributing to the e-payment revolution with a mobile payment system that is independent and alternative to traditional networks. With an initial target of €12 million, Satispay has officially closed its third round of funding having reached €18.3 million, a record high for the Italian market. To date, Satispay has thus raised a total of €26.8 million, and the company's post money valuation currently lies at approximately €66 million.
Satispay's potential was evident from the start as a number of prominent managers and entrepreneurs invested in past rounds. These include Jonathan Weiner and Ray Iglesias (former executives from Google Wallet and co-founders of Money20/20), Nicola Carbonari (Founder of Autoscout24), Giuseppe Donagemma (former Vice President Networks of Samsung Electronics and Nokia), as well an important investor and industrial partner, Iccrea Banca. While investors such as Iccrea Banca have reconfirmed their confidence by subscribing to the new capital increase, this operation also marks the entry of new key institutional partners:
Banca Etica. Having already signed a distribution agreement in mid-2016, Banca Etica is among the first banks to recognize value in Satispay's service. By participating in this investment round, Banca Etica confirms its strong orientation towards innovation, which in the last two years has seen it constantly engaging in an important digitalization of services in order to offer private clients and businesses an experience that combines efficiency in financial services and commitment to human rights and the environment.
Banca Sella Holding. Gruppo Sella's support of Satispay, through Sella Ventures, reflects a strategy to work with the best tools on the market, both proprietary or by third parties, in order to promote a comprehensive vision of the electronic payment segment. This decision reaffirms the role of the Group among the financial institutions that have always been at the forefront of research and development of cutting-edge technology.
Smartclub. Another major investor, Smartclub is managed by Ersel's Senior private Banker, Alessandro Fachin, who was able to involve the group of prominent Italian entrepreneurs that has already demonstrated its capability in making a difference in the development and growth of the company.
Shark Bites. Venture Capital founded by important members of the Italian entrepreneurial scene, particularly those active in the digital and traditional industries, which will also support Satispay's growth with its industrial expertise.
Giandomenico Genta, Satispay S.p.A President, commented: "The composition of new institutional investors clearly highlights the interesting involvement of banking institutions that are particularly committed to the development of innovation and digitalization processes, a global trend that sees FinTech as a challenge but also as a great opportunity for the traditional players that are able to look ahead and catch it. Another important aspect of the new investors that subscribed to the capital increase is made of those who have been able to see in advance what the Satispay ecosystem can become. In fact, among the partners there are important industrial realities and private subjects in the territory of Cuneo, where the service debuted and began developing before anywhere else. Here, with a regular usage by about 35% of the population, between consumers and merchants, entrepreneurs of the area have been able to witness Satispay's potential, about a year ahead of the rest of the country, and therefore deciding to participate in the project."
A significant example among this category of investors is Egea; multi-utility based in Alba that is active throughout the country, with whom Satispay intends to create important synergies and bring strong innovation to the recurring payments market.
As a whole, the latest investment round has rewarded the vision and implementation of a growth strategy that has enabled Satispay to achieve remarkable results in a short amount of time. Satispay has distinguished itself with an innovative business model, intuitive customer experience and impressive market penetration rates; elements that led the company to obtain a leading position in Italy within the rapidly evolving mobile payment segment.
Available on the market since January 2015, Satispay's astonishing growth can be attributed to a "merchant-first" strategy that aims to create the first electronic payment solution to suit all types of retailers; from the small family-run bar to the leading brand in mass market retailer, both offline and online. As a result, a total of 19,000 commercial activities across Italy have already registered to accept payments via Satispay and this number is constantly rising by approximately 70 new merchants per day. The number of consumers is also noteworthy. Today, Satispay has over330,000 app downloads of which more than 175,000 are active users who exchange money on a daily basis and make an average of 8 purchases per month. The number of private users is currently growing at a rate of about 600 signups per day.
Alberto Dalmasso, Satispay's Co-founder & CEO, commented, "The capital increase was made with the goal of consolidating our position as the national mobile payment leader. It will allow us to invest in a number of new value-added services. To name a few, the Cashback will become an increasingly prominent and sophisticated marketing tool, new goods and services will be integrated directly within the platform (as was the case with phone credit top-ups, which immediately received incredible market response), consumer credit paid in installments (expected for this autumn) and much more. Our goal is that Satispay will become the first payment system that strengthens the relationship between stores and their customers. Satispay places a powerful tool in the hands of the merchants that allows them to communicate promotions and services while allowing consumers to pay in installments. In addition to the ever-important participation of the members who have supported us from the beginning, such as ICCREA and Banca Alpi Marittime, we are proud to have seen the entry of many notable private subjects who are passionate about the project because they live and work in areas of great diffusion of the service and for which the choice to invest comes from appreciation for the product we have created. Not only has our President Giandomenico Genta's direction been essential in this capital increase, but being based in Cuneo, he has also been crucial to our growth from day one. Cuneo will remain one of our chosen territories for experimentation. This operation clearly demonstrates that in order to attract important investments it is crucial to show that the service works; that is why before looking abroad we want the whole of Italy to become the benchmark."
