Lucrative small businesses can quickly go out of business if they run out of cash. Similarly, unprofitable unprof small businesses can be survived for a very long time if they have a decent cash balance. To puts it simply, cash is the life blood of American small companies.
Naturally, when times are difficult, inability to obtain capital to pay everyday operating expenses typically ends up being a source of worry, anxiety and diversion for small business owners.
Sadly, the majority of huge city and town traditional lenders have stiff and strict criteria that their clients should fulfill.
Businesses have a separate credit ranking from the business owner. Even if business owner has a high credit rating, business may not have a recognized credit report (specifically if recently established). For that reason, prospective loan providers need to provide options with that take the business owner's personal credit into consideration and that accepts candidates with less than ideal credit.
Oftentimes, brick and mortar lenders only service businesses doing 20k or more in monthly earnings. This disqualifies smaller sized organisations doing 10k-15k in month-to-month earnings.
Because of the stringent abovementioned certification requirements imposed by standard lenders, a growing number of entrepreneur are relying on the myriad of online lending services now readily available to small business owners in Monticello, Arkansas.

If you have any idea or suggestion about my code or about what i could do to debug and know where the problem come from, thanks.

SPRAY - Protect the outside surface of your shoes by spraying the leather with a waterproofing spray for leather/nubuck prior to wearing outdoors, especially during seasons of high precipitation. Leather/nubuck sprays are typically available at your local shoe repair shop/shoe store. Use the spray on all your leather/nubuck/suede shoes to keep them happy over the long term. Defend your gorgeous shoes from the elements!
CONDITION - Over time, leather can get a little dried out from wear and change in temperatures. Leather conditioner/cleaner products are also available at most shoe repair/shoe stores, and can be rubbed into the leather for a healthy refreshed look. Think of it as a moisturizer for your shoes. Applying it once or twice a year is sufficient.
HEEL CAPS - With wear, heel caps (the rubber or plastic piece that caps the bottom of the heel) naturally wear down and are meant to be replaced. Shoe repair shop have the materials for this and can replace them for you in about 1-2 days. This should be done before wearing them all the way down, to not damage the actual heel + covering. Heel caps slowly wear down as you walk, and getting new ones keep shoes looking sharp and at the proper height for balance.
REMOVE SCUFFS - If you get scuff marks on the shoes, typically on the toe or heel areas, they can be minimized by dipping a clean cloth in equal parts water + baking soda. Lightly rub the area, buffing it clean with a clean cloth. Scuff marks happen, but can typically be erased or minimized.
SALT STAINS - If salt stains occur, or in many climates, when they occur, they can be removed by wiping the area with equal parts water + white vinegar. Filling a spray bottle with the two liquids and keeping it on hand throughout the winter makes it easier. Once sprayed and washed, wipe clean with a damp cloth and air-dry away from any heat source.
TRAVEL PACKING - When packing your shoes in a travel bag, you can put socks in the toe area to maintain their shape. Use your fabric dust bag (that comes in our shoe boxes) to store and protect them, keeping them lovely upon arrival.


The Parks and Wildlife Service, in collaboration with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, conducts weekly water quality monitoring at 40 sites throughout the Swan Canning estuary. Data from these monitoring programs is reported in a number formats including water quality data plots for the Swan and Canning rivers, microalgae activity reports and quarterly estuarine data reports.
Each week the Parks and Wildlife Service and Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) conduct extensive water quality sampling, from Bicton to West Swan in the Swan River and Mount Pleasant to Langford in the Canning River.
This information is presented in weekly water quality plots featuring key parameters - salinity, oxygen content (mg/L and percentage saturation) and water temperature.
The Microalgae Activity Report (MAR) is a weekly report which informs the public on microalgae levels and the probability of discolouration and/or scum formation at sites throughout the Swan Canning estuary. The MAR is updated on the website on Friday and in the weather page of The West Australian newspaper the following Monday.
Officers from Parks and Wildlife Service and DWER monitor the Swan and Canning rivers on Monday and Tuesday at 20 routine monitoring sites, unless delayed by a public holiday. Samples for microalgae analysis are collected, with processing and reporting taking up to 48 hours.
Concentrations of chlorophyll-a, a plant pigment, are used to estimate microalgal activity. This is presented by the use of low, medium and high activity categories. An alert category may also be used and is based on the types of algal species present and their cell concentrations rather than chlorophyll-a. The alert may be used where an algal species occurs at concentrations that may be harmful to aquatic life or human health and requires public advice.
The Department of Health has updated a health warning for the Swan River from Pelican Point to Como Jetty and upstream to Maali Bridge Park, Herne Hill.
Members of the public are advised not to consume wild shellfish, crabs or fish from the impacted zone of the Swan Canning Riverpark.
Contact the Department of Health on 9388 4999 or visit the Department of Health website for further information.
Use the map below to view this week's microalgae levels. Select the map icons for more information.
Note: Levels are published each friday. Trouble viewing the map below? view in a new window..
The surface waters of the estuary are divided into four estuary basins – upper Swan, middle Swan, Canning and lower Swan Canning – and annual targets have been developed for each. These are based on ANZECC 2000 trigger values and statistical principles, to detect the smallest change in water quality. The targets for the estuary basins relate to chlorophyll-a concentration (a measure of algal biomass) and dissolved oxygen saturation in surface waters.

Texas Leads the Way in Smart City Tech
When it comes to improving the life of its residents, Texas is all about it. By increasing access to broadband internet, Wi-Fi, public transit, and solar energy, the state is paving the way for increased economic growth and better quality of life nationwide—two defining factors that make an ordinary city "smart."
Notable Smart City Factors:
Internet connectivity is a must for any smart city. Broadband internet access opens doors for better opportunities, increased global awareness, and more education and innovation.
With better access to public transportation comes reduced traffic congestion, less car accidents, increased fuel efficiency, and more economic growth.
Many cities in Texas are "going green" with infrastructure. Greater access to electric charging stations encourages more residents to opt for eco-friendly cars, and the renewable nature of solar energy makes homes more sustainable and shrinks carbon footprints.
How the Cities Stack Up:
Austin has the highest rating (76%) for percentage of population with access to broadband internet. Get the details.
Plano has the highest rating (98%) for percentage of population with at least one computing device. Explore the full report.
Fort Worth has 100% access to all four modes of public transportation, and ranked #6 overall in access to broadband internet. Check out the details.
Dallas ranked #4 and Irving came in at #5.
To determine which Texas cities are the smartest, we compared the largest cities in the state across three weighted categories: Connectivity, Transportation, and Green Infrastructure.
Connectivity (weight: 50): % of population with at least one computing device and access to broadband internet.
Transportation (weight: 25): modes of public transportation available (bus, train, public bikes and scooters).
Green Infrastructure (weight: 25): solar Installations & number of electric car charging stations per 100,000 residents.

Here's how Gloria's trip to Shreveport went: within seven hours of her arrival, her brother had been carjacked.
Please note that Gloria has five family members living in Shreveport. Two of them have been carjacked in the last five years.
Her brother was fine, and the car, seemingly taken by the most inept carjacker in recorded history, was recovered only a few hours later. Of course, as an officer helped him close his hood later, it got bent and now won't close completely.
I'm not implying that Shreveport is some sort of carjacking hub, or that police officers are crazed hood destroyers. It's just the kind of strange gravity that her family lives under: if something is bad, it will always get worse.
She went through a list of the things that happened since she arrived (many of which are darkly comic, none of which I can mention here), then said, "Except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"


So I spent a few days at MS last week – building 42 – playing with their MVC implementation. The goal was to inform them of all complex and even counter intuitive requirements that we got from the real world apps and how/if the MS MVC would be able to handle them.
In the end I've developed a handful of samples – that I'm going to make available as soon as they publish their CTP.
While there I met all the guys from the MVC Team: Simon Calvert (PM), Phil Haack (PM), Chris Tavares (Dev/P&P Team), Eilon Lipton (main dev), Rob Conery (Dev) and Scott Guthrie. Not surprisingly they are incredible smart and talented people. But surprisingly – at least to me – is how MS is approaching this framework. They are not in a rush, they are more concerned about getting it right than getting it done fast. My overall impression is that they are really crafting a framework. Dude, if I had the time and resources to do the same thing, Castle would be very different….
Right now, though, for folks with lot of expectations, the CTP might be a turn off. That's because what you're going to see is a very small framework, with a lot to be done to be useful. As they say, the CTP is mainly for feedback. I'm sure Milestone 2 would be something great, though.
And what happens to MonoRail? – you may ask. I'm not sure. I was really adamant that they should try to support all things that MonoRail support, but I'm not sure they are going for that. MonoRail 2.0 is pending their implementation. If the final MS MVC rocks, and provides so many things, I'd vote for forget the MR 2. If the final MS MVC has clearly something lacking, MR 2 could reuse the infrastructure and provide some nice extensions.
We are very beneficial to have someone like yourself working on a great open source project like monorail.
I am also glad that MS is at least taking their time and really thinking about their framework rather than just churn out another hunk of code that doesn't have much value. This is reassuring.
Hey Hammet, it was great to meet you and again, we appreciate the feedback you provided. You definitely pointed out some scenarios we hadn't yet considered. I'm looking forward to playing around with the NVelocity view engine.
With respect to Mr. Hammett, is MS MVS something castle Monorail (and all of the developers that worked on it) didn't expect? I sense a bit of sadness from the castle crew…but, I think a bit of validation is what we (as asp.net devs) are seeing! Congrats!
Good write up. It was nice to "meet" you over the conference call phone.
Not surprisingly, it was not before the huge efforts and the great accomplishments of Castle team in this MVC area that enabled Microsoft to feel confident enough to launch their own framework. It was only natural. You guys not only paved the road, but also built the signposts, brought the cars and showed how to ride it.
It doesn't matter whether ASP.NET MVC turn out to be success or not that MR should be abandoned.
For me, MR should stay around to test new ideas as well accomplish whatever ASP.NET MVC can't deliver.
Don't let Microsoft monopolize everything! Fight em!

History of Great Bradley Village Hall
The current Village Hall used to be the school. Until about 1939, a Church Hut had stood on land next to the school and was used for social gatherings but the hut was demolished at that time and Prospect Villas were built in its place (Prospect Villas are the two semi-detached houses to the left of the hall).
After the war when it seemed that a new school in Thurlow might mean the closure of Great Bradley School, a fund was opened in Great Bradley ready for possible purchase of the school building for use as a village hall.
For more information on the school click here
The school finally closed in 1967, and, since it had been a Church school the building was to be sold by the Diocesan Authorities. On June 29th, a parish meeting took place when it was agreed to negotiate the purchase. In May 1968, an offer to purchase the school for £1,250 was sent to H. C. Wolton & Son who had valued the property on behalf of the Diocesan Authorities. The fund referred to earlier had risen to £339-12s-10d. In addition to the purchase price, a considerable sum was required for conversion of the school into a village hall. Grants available at the time could be maximised by application from a village hall committee rather than the Parish Council.
After much discussion on the proposed conversion of the school, planning approval was given by Clare Rural District Council on 26th March 1971. Various fund raising activities had been organised by the Village Hall Committee such as Bingo sessions throughout 1969, 1970 and 1971, and a summer fete held on July 4th 1970 which raised ca £160. In October 1970, the treasurer reported a balance of £685-5s-6d. In addition, the Parish had received £419 from sale of land in Evergreen Lane (now occupied by 'Ragill' and 'Conways'). The purchase and conversion costs were: £1,325 eventual purchase price, £4,247 building work and £531 architect fees making a total of £6,103.
The Architect appointed was John Adams of Ipswich, and the contractor was M. Carrick of Newmarket. To save costs, in August 1972, the existing outbuildings were demolished by voluntary labour and the bricks were cleaned for reuse. Grants were received from West Suffolk Education Committee (£3,196) and Clare Rural District Council (£1,248).
The Village Hall was opened officially by Group Captain Leonard Cheshire, VC on 30th June 1973, husband of Sue Ryder. The Hall was filled to capacity for the occasion, with many people unable to gain access and having to stand outside. The Village Hall was registered as a charitable trust in 1986 and the named trustees were Stephen Ryder of Great Bradley Hall and Frank Hearn. The registered charity number is 293044.
In May 1999 the Hall closed for major refurbishment. The tender price of £60,224 submitted by RG. Bailey & Sons was accepted, and the Hall was reopened in March 2000. Grants were obtained from the Millennium Commission and St. Edmundsbury Borough Council. The parish contribution was obtained by a variety of fund raising functions and the Parish Council assisted by obtaining a Public Works Loan of £9,000 repayable over a 15 year period.
To see the fascinating records, from the Village Archive, recording how the village hall was established see the Village hall section in the Village Archive. Not only do the records show what happened, but they provide a fascinating social history when virtually all communication was done by letter!
To see the records relating to the hard work put into the restoration at the turn of the Millennium see the Village Hall section in the Village Archive
On Saturday 8th October 2011 Great Bradley Village Hall was officially declared open for business after several months of refurbishment following severe flooding in the winter of 2010.
Approximately 20 villagers turned up for a glass of bubbly and a slice of specially commissioned cake. The cake, depicting the village hall, was made by Great Bradley resident Gina Fitch who very kindly donated her work of art.
Edward Fletcher, chairman of the Village Hall Committee, thanked the committee for their hard work and perseverance in getting the hall restored to its former glory. The committee would also like to thank village residents for their help and support over what has proved to be a testing time

Shakespeare in another language? Thanks for telling me
Caitlin Graham
When a promotional email from Lastminute.com landed in my inbox advertising a 24hr theatre ticket sale, I just couldn't resist. Little did I know that the play would not be in English…
With international guests coming to visit me, I thought I'd snap up some discounted tickets to an iconic London theatre. I purchased the tickets and received my booking confirmation email – nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.
Yet, after finally making it to our seats on a cold and wet Saturday evening, we soon discovered that the play was not being performed in English!
The language of a performance seems like quite a crucial bit of information. I double checked my confirmation email but it made no mention of this fact. We left the play early, as did a few others who also mentioned that they too believed they had never been informed of the language difference.
Where's theatre ticket refund?
I called Lastminute.com on Monday morning – it told me that I had to email as the company didn't deal with complaints over the phone. I emailed. The reply told me that the theatre wouldn't refund my tickets, and since Lastminute.com was only a third-party agent it apparently wasn't responsible either. Obviously, as a Which? employee, I wasn't going to stand for this.
My complaint was with Lastminute.com and I felt that it had misled me. Have you ever been stumped by a company apparently using the excuse of a 'third-party agent' to avoid taking responsibility?
Unfortunately for me, the crucial piece of evidence – the original promotional email – was missing. I had deleted the email after completing the booking, but I still had a link to the promotional page on Lastminute.com. However, since the deal was a 24-hour promotion, the webpage contained temporary cookies that had been deactivated.
Despite repeated requests, Lastminute.com told me it could not provide me with the original promotional email, nor the webpage that had talked about the deal.
The burden of proof is on you
Six weeks and countless emails later, Lastminute.com continues to insist that the promotional email stated that the performance wasn't in English. I say it didn't, they say it did. I'm left with no other choice except to take the matter to the Small Claims Court or let it go.
It doesn't seem fair that the entire burden of responsibility is placed on the consumer. It's not practical to take screen grabs of every site and link that I purchase tickets through. Have you ever suffered any issues with buying through intermediary sites like Lastminute.com? Was their customer service up to scratch?

I usually save information on web pages as a pdf in case there is a problem. So far there has not been, but it is fascinating to see some of the minor changes that sometimes occur.
My advice is to call again and hope that you manage to speak to someone helpful. Or phone them and start speaking in a foreign language. 🙂
I am intrigued to know what language was used for the play, which one it was, and why it was not performed in English.
I think you should take this to the court and demand full disclosure of all relevant documents and images as they are material to your decision and to their defence. If Lastminute had nothing to hide they would have revealed the e-mail if only to shut you up. I can't believe someone else hasn't got a specimen of the e-mail lying in a folder somewhere in their e-mail system.
"The language I have learn'd these forty years, my native English, now I must forego" [spoken by Mowbray Duke of Norfolk to King Richard II – in a somewhat different context of course].
I've known some people have the same problem with opera.
At a guess this play was one of The Globe theatre's much publicised Cultural Olympiad; performing each of Shakespeare's play in a different language.

Just to update – I received a call from Lastminute's "VIP" team the day after this Convo went up. They have offered to refund the price of the tickets, although they were keen to stress that this was purely a goodwill gesture and not an admission of liability.
Their email states: "While we do feel that the product description made clear mention of the fact that the show is performed in Hindi, I'd prefer to offer you a full refund as a gesture of goodwill. I'm really sorry for all the protracted inconvenience you've had with our customer service agents, and I hope that this eventual resolution is acceptable to you."
I'm certainly happy to finally get my money back but won't be booking tickets through a 'third party agent' again!
Paul Armsby says:
Ive had an issue with package Holidays, after booking euro star and hotel, i was advised that the Eurostar was booked fro 2 adults and a child, but the hotel was for 2 adults. This isnt something i could have changed as it was a package, but lastminute refuse to accept that this was their website that caused thee issue. I was told i can cancel the hotel booking and rebook but this would cost more.
when i complained that the website was at fault i was told "well obviously normal people" would understand this!….. i was disgusted! i was then told i could turn up at the hotel and see if they can find a cot for my son… , so travel with a 1 year old to another country in hope that the hotel can sort something for them.
I have been back to the website several times to go through the steps i took and every time i come to the same result … the website is wrong!
I work with website and have identified what is wrong and even how to fix it but still lastminute refuse to even listen..
I have been promised a call back on tuesday, this has been and gone and am now waiting a call back today.. ill let you know how get on.
Edel McCurdy says:
I'm experiencing a similar issue with Lastminute.com, a group of 10 of us went to Chicago in Garrick Theatre where there were mice running freely in the theatre, I've contacted last minute who accept no responsibility and will not compensate us, they have also tried to push me off to an e-mail address of the theatre representative using the 'third party' excuse!
If anyone can help on what my rights are I'd appreciate it
We were sitting in a pub just two minutes away from Westminster Abbey recently when a few mice ran round the wainscotting. I pointed it out to a member of staff but their response was to the effect that they know, they can't do anything about it, and that most old buildings in central London have this feature. Enjoy!
just received an email from lastminute.com that the flights i booked for my girlfriend to see her family in canada at christmas are being cancelled by them due to a change in flight schedule (however there is no change in flight schedule as i have contacted the airline).
I cant afford to rebook another flight now due to increased prices. I expect lastminute.com to honour the original booking.
mose says:
That's awful re the Shakespeare. In an event like that I would have just put my wife on the phone – I'd be frightened of my Wife on the phone – she just won't stop until things are resolved. Recently I bought a murder mystery night on one of these Groupon type sites. Because it was an occasion I booked a night at the same hotel the murder mystery evening was to be at. I got a coupon through email for the evening saying that I had to call to confirm our booking. The advert was for a specific even date so a couple of days before the evening I called to confirm only to be told that I was too late and I should have called to confirm earlier. Nowhere was there any info that gave any timeline or time limit to confirm. I was livid but after a no one wanted to take the blame I gave up, nearly £200 worse off. My Wife got on the phone and just nagged an nagged………and nagged and was quite awful to them and she got a full refund for the hotel room which they were adamant with me they weren't going to do. We never got our refund from the Groupon type site but that was only £19.
My advice is, just don't let up and be bloody awful to them. They may cave in just to get you off the phone.
Drdr says:
Someone help! Earlier tonight I had booked a hotel for 47 euro..it was cheap so I jumped at it. I booked it with last minute .com and was in a hurry earlier and booked for tonight instead of tomoro night. I cannot make tonight. Anyway,I tried to change this,bit can't find a complaint page on d website nor did I receive an email to confirm my booking.. When I called I got an answering machine and that I can ring at 8am. Also when I booked it instead of only taking 47 euro it took 59. I'm stressed and need advice as it's a Xmas present and needed it sorted. Can anyone help me
Gloria Gottschalk says:
My theatre ticket and meal package was cancelled by Last minute because the theatre had brought forward the finish date. It is no exaggeration to say that on the 3 occasions I managed to get to speak to somebody in a call centre I was cut off twice, the first occasion after 8 mins the second after 15 mins, on the third time of calling I asked to be put through to a UK call centre, the person was not happy about this, he said he would put me through to a manager 26 mins and 34 seconds Iater and no manager I hung up, never known such a frustrating company to deal with, will not bother trying to re-book now.
Well i booked a flight with Last minute.com througfh their call centre. The price was 1347£ as I confirmed when i gave my card number. When the invoice came through it said £1640. The extra £293 is because the price must have gone up whilst they were confirming it.
Surely I dont have to pay the exra ? After all this isnt what we agreed.
I find the business practice of Last minute to be sharp as when you complian you get no where. Basically just avoid…
Lee Wickens says:
I think they are a terrible company, I booked a hotel for me, my pregnant wife and 1 years old and they booked us into a hotel for two only. tried to call but they could not take my call at that time (unless i was booking another break) Ruined the holiday (having no hotel) Please also (if this happens to you) forget about normal customer service. They do not care once you have paid. The complaints department just blame you and the hotel and suggest you are lying, which isn't helpful, they keep you on hold for a long time and, well that's enough, i am having to take them to either small claims court or ABTA.
Does anyone know how to complain to last minute.com has when I rung up the uk one they said I have to ring a Spanish number to complain even though booked in uk for a uk hotel x
Livonne Bonner says:
Furious! Last week I contacted Lastmin.com for theatre ticket to take my daughter to see the Lion King. It was quickly established that there were no available spaces that week, however, the operator kindly suggested tickets for the following week- more fool me 🙁 because upon receipt of the confirmation email, I did not feel any reason to check the date. Checked the date on the day of performance and realized the error- it was not booked for a further 3 weeks later !!
Contacted Lastmin.com and they have assured me that the telephone recording will be checked but this can take between 24-48hrs!! Their only resolution being that I book another set of tickets and if investigations prove me right, hear this "It MIGHT be refunded" … Not happy at all 🙁 How to explain this my little girl * sighs … Book through Lastmin.com- never again!!
Munni says:
Lastminute.com refuse to refund/amend my theatre and meal booking for Thriller and Clcok jack as I booked for planet hollywood and their system messed up and booked me at the wrong restaurant. Since I am vege I dont really want to eat at chicken resturant with only 1 meal option for a me. Send so many emails to avail! I wish they could change the booking or just refund me!!!
Lee Fawcet says:
Not Happy at all, Booked Theatre tickets for my daughters birthday 27th Dec and have done in previous years with no problems. checked the email without thinking much of it today.
the show was on 26th Nov, so i phone customer relations (Mr Kuldip) and he explains tickets are non-refundable and its my mistake. no compassion and clearly dont care.
I explain that is my daughters birthday and previous bookings prove thats the date i buy tickets.
And am told i have made the error, i know that i have not and looking at this post am not the only one.
Only mistake i made was not checking the tickets in a company i thought i could trust, that could not give two hoots when there is a problem.
Sally Norton says:
Last night my daughter and I traveled from Kent hoping to see the Cats Musical in London.
When we tried to collect our tickets which were booked in November for tonight the 7th January they could not find them, so we showed Last minute's email with booking ref and the date shown for the performance the 7th Jan.
The man at the booking office said they were for yesterday and handed us the tickets.
He also stated that this had happened to a few other people and we should contact Last minute.com.
So we came away not seeing the show.
Now Last minute refuse to give us a refund or more tickets.
zohra Mennaceur says:
the exact same thing happened to me and my family last night and having contacted last minuite they don't seem very interested. Have you had any luck??
Alex Toplis says:
Hi both, if you have your order confirmation email showing you had been told the wrong date, you should be able to argue for a refund from Last Minute.

Alan Phillips says:
I wonder has anyone else had this issue – I booked a hotel recently with last minute.com – the booking confirmation took all of 16 mins to arrive to my gmail – with the long delay I booked again (thinking the first booking had failed) but soon after noticed two confirmations – I complained & traded emails back & forth but all to no avail.
Lastminute.com insisted on charging for both bookings & fully acknowledged the long delay.
I would love to know is there a duty on the booking agent to provide a timely confirmation? when I book with other sites (e.g booking.com) confirmation is usually received within 30 seconds !
Andrew Collins says:
Oh no, that's not good Alan! Sorry to hear about that. It's usually the rule of thumb when booking through an agency, such as LastMinute.com, you should get an email confirmation within 48 hours. Even if you do, it's always wise to contact the hotel directly a few days later to confirm the reservation. I'm certain you'll find this Which? conversation article useful, too:

Lennyg says:
Interesting theme here regarding theatre tickets. We have just returned from London and went to see the Lion King show on Wednesday. We purchased "top price stalls/royal circle" seats online after a phone conversation with Lastminute CS who told us these seats were in rows F-P. You've guessed it, we were in Row Z with tickets that were the cheapest the theatre sold so NOT the "top price" as adverstised and confirmed in our booking. I tried to call their Customer service from the theatre but was left on hold for 10 minutes by which time it was too late to do anything about it.
Surely if I have a confirmation that says we have purchased top price tickets and we are given the cheapest available we have some sort of case?
Hi Lenny, it's shocking to hear that the theatre gave you poor seats when you paid top prices. Have you taken a look at our consumer rights page about complaining if the tickets you've ordered aren't what you ordered (Alex posted it above, too):
http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/action/how-to-complain-if-your-tickets-are-not-what-you-ordered
An hour and a half phone call with lastminute resulted in them saying that their classification of top price is taken from a website called "theatremonkey.com" NOT from the theatre that sells the tickets – this company, according to the agent I spoke to is a subsidiary of lastminute, so in effect, they use their own company to define what is a "top price" ticket.
I asked to escalate the issue but was told that I couldn't.
dieseltaylor says:
I find I am having a problem with this Conversation as it is very apparent that Last-Minute have some very serious problems in providing an adequate service. Whilst Conversations is open to anyone I am sure some of the people here may well be Which? subscribers and even possibly shareholders in the Consumers' Association that own Which?.
I want to see some serious action such as asking for a comment from Last Minute. And that is just the start because I have absolutely no doubt they will provide statistics which will "prove" the error rate is miniscule. Want we need to know is how they recover the miinscule number of errors in a satisfactory manner.
This company looks to be a complete shambles. The only thing I can say in mitigation is that perhaps peoples expectations of what can be accomplished – lead on by the company's website – is too trusting. But thank you to everyone who writes here a s a warning to others.
Ripoff policies once you need to make any alterations or changes. Cannot understand how can they charged administration charge of £45 per passenger even though its all on one order number booking. Shameful ripoff. Avoid at all costs for air tickets.

Kentucky Governor Declares Day of Prayer in Aftermath of Deadly School Shooting
By Heather Clark on January 28, 2018 30 Comments
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Churches in Kentucky took time on Sunday to pray for those affected by Tuesday's school shooting in Benton, which took the lives of two students and injured more than a dozen others, after Gov. Matt Bevin declared the day to be a statewide day of prayer.
"We have seen evil and the face of evil as it has emerged, and the acts it has perpetrated on this community," he said on Friday. "But I'll tell you what's stronger than evil: it's good, and in the end, God wins. That's a fact."
Last Tuesday, 15-year-old sophomore Gabe Parker walked into Marshall County High School with a handgun and began firing, causing students to pour out of the building as they ran for their lives.
"You could see students dropping their bags and just start running, pushing past each other," student Taylor Droke told WZTV. "Everyone in cars started turning around and driving away. Kids were jumping the fence around the school and running through the woods."
By the time Parker was apprehended, 20 students were struck by gunfire, with one dying on the scene and another passing away at the hospital.
Gov. Bevin expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy, taking to both social media and a community event to address what he called the "cultural problem" of violence in America—more specifically, how forms of entertainment desensitize the viewer to bloodshed and murder.
"Look at our popular culture. Look at our movies. The violence [and] the disregard for the value of human life," he said in an online video. "We have a culture of death of death in America. We can pretend we don't. We can think that people can separate fact from fiction—from their lives from that which they see—but if they are immersed in it at every turn, in television, in movies, in music…"
Bevin urged parents to be attentive to what their children are watching, and encouraged youth to be careful about what they put in their eyes and ears. He also admonished film producers to realize the effect of the content of their movies on viewers.
"I know that we're living in a day and age where [producers think] we need to shock people more than the last time or they won't pay attention … The shock value maybe gets people to pay attention to something, puts eyes on something, and you can make a buck, but at what price?" Bevin asked. "It's robbing us of the very fabric of our nation and it's killing our young people."
View the video in full below.
On Friday, Bevin signed a proclamation urging Kentucky residents to dedicate Sunday as a day of prayer for those affected by Tuesday's shooting.
"I want to encourage this community to do what it's doing, which is pray," he stated at the Children's Art Activities Center, according to the Courier Journal. "And I also want to encourage every single faith-based organization, church, house of worship, everyone this Sunday to pray for Marshall County."
Among the churches that organized a special time of prayer or included prayer in their regular Sunday service was Greater Norris Chapel Baptist Church in Henderson, which held a dedicated prayer gathering this afternoon. Crossroads Church in Lexington also took time to discuss the matter this morning during its worship service. Impact Church, just 10 miles from the school, held a vigil this week as well.
Mark Stecher, pastor of Crossroads Church, told WKYT-TV that his church has been talking about being a good neighbor as no one can go it alone.
"It's almost impossible to process the loss and pain without other people," he stated. "If we are by ourselves, that isolation ends up freezing us and paralyzing us. So it's the most healthy thing you can do to reach out and be great neighbors to each other."

Atlanta Ballet just launched the public phase of "The Time is Now" capital campaign that aims to raise $23.5 million. These funds will support the creation of new works (including a new Nutcracker for December 2018), audience building efforts, increased community access for and expansion of the Centre for Dance Education's programs, growth of the current endowment, and planned capital and maintenance expenses.
"So far, $15.1 million has been raised towards the campaign. The largest donation to the campaign has come from the Thalia N. and Chris M. Carlos Foundation – a $3 million challenge grant to underwrite the Atlanta Ballet's new Nutcracker production, which will debut in December 2018. The Carlos gift and the match would cover the $6 million cost to revamp the Nutcracker.
The campaign also has received several other major gifts. Of the $15.1 million that's been raised, $8 million has come from board members (including Chris Carlos). It also included a $2 million anonymous gift, according to Steven Libman, the Atlanta Ballet's chief advancement officer.
Other major donors include the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation, which made a gift of $1.25 million; the City of Atlanta, which has provided a $1 million grant; and the PNC Foundation, which has awarded $500,000 to support the Atlanta Ballet's performances and education programs through 2024."

Walentina Leonidowna Linkowa (; * 1970) ist eine russische Bogenbiathletin und Bogenläuferin.

Walentina Linkowa ist neben Natalija Jemelina die erfolgreichste Bogenbiathletin der zweiten Hälfte des ersten Jahrzehnts der 2000er Jahre. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 2005 in Forni Avoltri gewann sie mit Olga Koslowa und Jekaterina Lugowkina den Titel im letztmals ausgetragenen Staffelrennen. Im Sprint gewann sie zudem den Titel vor ihren Staffelkameradinnen, im Verfolgungsrennen fiel sie hinter diese Beiden zurück und wurde Dritte. Zwei Jahre später wurde sie erfolgreichste Teilnehmerin der WM in Moskau. Im Einzel gewann sie den Titel vor Lugowkina und Koslowa, im Sprint vor Jelena Scharafutdinowa und Lugowkina, im Verfolgungsrennen vor Lugowkina und Jemelina. Bei den bislang letzten internationalen Meisterschaften, den Europameisterschaften 2008 in Moskau, gewann Linkowa hinter Jemelina und vor Scharafutdinowa sowohl im Sprint wie auch im Verfolgungsrennen die Silbermedaillen. Bis heute führt Linkowa als erfahrenste russische Bogenbiathletin die Ergebnislisten russischer Bogenbiathlonwettkämpfe an und dominierte die Russlandpokalwertung 2012/2013.

Parallel zu ihren großen Erfolgen im Bogenbiathlon begann Linkowa 2004 eine erfolgreiche Karriere im Bogenlaufen und wurde bei nationalen Titelkämpfen in Ischewsk zunächst sechste. 2011 trat sie bei offenen Niederländischen Meisterschaften in Den Haag mangels weiblicher Konkurrenz in der Herrenklasse an, holte hinter ihrem Landsmann Maxim Menschikow die Bronzemedaille und triumphierte damit über sämtliche niederländischen Starter. Beim gleichen Wettkampf gewann sie im Jahr zuvor bereits die Bronzemedaille bei den Frauen. 2012 holte sie dort Silber und gewann bei den offenen Deutschen Meisterschaften Doppelgold in Staffel und Massenstart der Frauen.

Cloning, Stem Cells, and Medicine's Future
Geron CEO Thomas B. Okarma on creating stem cell therapies.
Thomas B. Okarma
Position: President and CEO, Geron
Issue: Embryonic-stem-cell and cloning research. The U.S political climate is proving inhostpitable to biomedical research that could benefit millions, and other nations are jumping in to fill the void.
Personal Point of Impact: Over 20 years of research to create commercial cell-based therapies.
Technology Review: Human embryonic stem cells, primitive cells with the ability to form every type of tissue, could lead to effective treatments or even cures for ailments such as heart failure, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and spinal-cord injury. But creating the cells requires destroying human embryos, a hugely controversial issue. How do you address that?
Tom Okarma: These cells are derived from embryos created using in vitro fertilization that are donated under informed consent by couples who no longer need them to achieve pregnancy. For the couple, their choice is threefold: have the extra embryos stored frozen, forever; have them destroyed; or donate them for research. Our whole justification for trying to develop this field isn't that we don't have regard for the sensitive issues of creation of life. It's because in that unused embryo is the most incredible cell ever discovered, a cell that solves the technical, commercial, economic, and medical problems that have prevented cell therapy from making it in the past 20 years. The fact that one embryo produces untold billions of cells for thousands of patients' therapies is enormous ethical leverage. A master cell bank of embryonic stem cells can make enough dopamine-producing neurons for 10 million Parkinson's patients. That is beyond our wildest dreams, even three years ago!
TR: One argument you hear quite a lot is that experiments by academic researchers have shown that stem cells from adult tissues, such as bone marrow cells, can be transformed into all these cell types, too. So why use embryonic stem cells?
Okarma: Well, first of all, no one has actually shown that. That is a misinterpretation of the data. With this kind of research, you're asking a cell that is naturally programmed, let's say, to make blood-to use the most commonly cited adult stem cell-and you're trying to turn it into a liver cell or a heart cell or a brain cell. These cells are not programmed to do that. So even if you are able to belt those cells over the head to make a half a percent of them morph into heart muscle cells or neurons, those cells are not making that transition in a scalable way. So you'll never be able to address the market with that kind of process. You're back to an individualized, case-by-case therapy, back to the old bone marrow transplant model.
TR: In 2001 President Bush limited federal funding for embryonic-stem-cell research to cell lines that existed before that time, with each line consisting of cells derived from a single embryo. What consequences has this had for the field?
Okarma: I'm not making the case that the Bush decision has stifled the research or prevented us from making progress, but it is shortsighted. For example, as far as we're aware, all of the lines in the world were derived by the initial patented process from the University of Wisconsin-Madison that involves culturing the early embryo on mouse feeder cells. The FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] appropriately classifies all of these lines as xenogeneic-as if they came from a mouse-simply because they were cultured on mouse cells. We don't quibble with that classification. It's a problem, though, because when you try to put those cells into humans, the bar is higher. There's a theoretical possibility that mouse viruses could have jumped from the mouse cell into the human cell. So both the FDA and the research world want to produce cells in a slightly different way that would not ever utilize mouse feeder cells. And we are in the process of doing that. There's no question we will be successful in doing that. But once we are, because of the Bush decision, the National Institutes of Health cannot use those lines, because they were derived after the Bush decree. This is, to our mind, anti-intellectual. One branch of the government is saying no; another branch of the government-the FDA-is saying, make these lines safer.
TR: In February, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would ban all research into human nuclear transfer-the technology behind human cloning. But some scientists believe nuclear transfer offers a way to make stem cells that would be a perfect tissue match to the patient who needs them. How would this affect efforts to create therapies using embryonic stem cells?
Okarma: The efficiency of making a stem cell line from an embryo made by nuclear transfer is vanishingly small, and you're going back to the case-by-case, individualized-therapy story again, with enormous costs. The whole idea is to make this therapy internationally available, broadly. Nuclear-transfer procedures just are never going to get us there.
There are, however, reasons why we are opposed to the current congressional mood of criminalizing and banning all nuclear-transfer research. Everybody's on the same page about not cloning people. There are many reasons not to do that. But there are valid reasons why we should be doing nuclear-transfer research. We know the sequence of the whole genome and are now in a position to start doing very intelligently the kind of genomic research that will lead to understanding how it is that my family history for disease X-let's say breast cancer-gets manifested. How do the genes that cause people in my family to have a high likelihood of developing breast cancer work in my cells?
There is no platform, biologically, to work that out, except embryonic stem cells. So you would do nuclear transfer with my cells, which carry all those genes, and you'd make a stem cell line from me. Now you can make breast cells and study how my inherited predisposition for breast cancer is actually working to produce disease. It's the perfect platform to take the next step in genomic research, to make it real for patients. This is absolutely bona fide, important, potentially breakthrough research for people with these genetic diseases. Not just cancer: Tay-Sachs disease, sickle cell anemia, on and on and on. It's the most viable way to unravel how genetic disease is manifested in tissue that will lead directly to treatments. Now our House of Representatives, in their wisdom, want to criminalize that research.
TR: How would such a ban affect stem cell research?
Okarma: It would be a huge chill. Now, is that going to result in 50,000 scientists leaving the country? Probably not. But what is happening is that other countries-Australia, Canada, Scandinavia, the U.K., Singapore, China-where the governments and academic institutions see an opportunity to leapfrog the United States, are pouring a lot of money into stem cell research, including nuclear transfer. It's not that they're ahead of us today. But it's very clear from my personal travels that they recognize how harmful our political debate is, and how potentially meaningful-even for the developing world-this therapy is, because it's scalable. It's not going to be prohibited from reaching the masses because it's sophisticated, Western medicine. And that's crucial to understanding why the developing world wants this technology, and why governments and academic institutions are pushing it. So what's happening is that Asia sends their brightest young folks over to the NIH for a half-dozen years of training, and normally those folks stay in this country. Now they're going back home, if they're in the field of embryonic stem cells, cell therapy, or nuclear transfer, because they're going back to an environment where they can practice what they've learned.

O God our Eternal Father, we approach Thee with thanksgiving and love on this historic day of dedication. Our hearts reach out to Thee in faith and prayer. This temple is an answer to the prayers of Thy faithful people, and a fulfillment of Thy promises to them. We are jubilant and our hearts are filled with praise to Thee.
We are grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ which has touched the lives of all assembled for this dedication. We thank Thee for Thy divine truth, restored to earth in this Dispensation of the Fulness of Times.
We thank Thee for the Prophet Joseph Smith and for all who have succeeded him, including the prophet of our day, even Thomas S. Monson. We love him, sustain him and pray for him.
We thank Thee for the progress of Thy work in this great nation of Brazil. We give thanks for all who have helped to make this beautiful temple possible. Wilt Thou continue to bless the leaders and the people of this nation for their friendliness to Thy church.
We ask Thee to touch the lives and hearts of all who will have an opportunity to listen and hearken to the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Hasten the miracle of conversion among the great and good people of this land. We thank Thee for the sacred record of Lehi, Nephi and Jacob, of Alma and Mosiah, of Benjamin, Mormon and Moroni. We thank Thee for this voice that has come from the dust to bear witness of the divinity of Thy Beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ
Thou hast sent Thy prophet Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. This holy temple opens the gates to eternity that these merciful purposes may be fulfilled.
Dear Father, forgive us our many shortcomings. Strengthen our faith and fortify us against weakness. Give us power to resist the many and clever deceits of the adversary.
May love for Thee and Thy Son grow in our hearts. May it be expressed in our love one for another, by our keeping Thy commandments and honoring the covenants made in Thy holy temple.
Now, Beloved Father, in the name of Jesus Christ and by authority of the everlasting priesthood, we dedicate the Manaus Brazil Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We dedicate it unto Thee as Thy hallowed dwelling place. We dedicate it unto Thy Son as the house of the Lord where the fulness of the priesthood may be exercised. We dedicate it as a house of worship, a house of covenants, a house of faith, a house of God.
We dedicate the grounds on which it stands with all its vegetation; the building from the footings to the top of the steeple with its crowning figure of Moroni; the walls and windows that they may stand against the storms of nature and be looked upon with reverence and respect; all the interior and exterior elements of this structure and its surroundings; the baptistry, the endowment rooms, the sealing rooms, and the magnificent celestial room.
Wilt Thou accept this temple as the gift of our hearts and hands. May Thy Holy Spirit dwell here at all times and be felt by all who come within its portals. May a mantle of holiness come upon this sacred edifice. May it stand as a beacon of everlasting truth and light in this beautiful and unique part of Thy creation. Wilt Thou protect it from any who may be disposed to harm or defile it in any way.
May all who enter do so worthily. Wilt Thou seal upon them an endowment of righteousness that will become a guardian throughout their lives.
Bless the youth of Thy church with an understanding of the temple and the divinity of Thy work. May they be true and faithful throughout their lives.
Bless all who attend as patrons that Thy Spirit may rest upon them, that the sacred covenants of Thy house may be impressed upon their minds and hearts. We pray for those who shall serve and work in this temple in any capacity. May they do so with a spirit of dedication and love.
We pray for the temple president, his counselors, for the matron and her assistants as they serve Thee in their sacred responsibilities.
We thank Thee for faithful tithe-payers throughout the world whose consecretaed offerings made possible this and other houses of the Lord. Open the windows of heaven and shower down blessings upon them. May they feel of Thy love and may Thine encircling arms of mercy be round about them.
Our Father in heaven, we love Thee. We know that Thou lovest us. We love Thy Beloved Son who stands at Thy side. We thank Thee for His atoning sacrifice. All of the blessings of this house rest upon that great divine act of the love of Thy Son, the Savior of all mankind.
Dear Father, accept our prayer as we dedicate this temple unto Thee, as we rededicate ourselves to Thee and Thy service, and we do it in the name of our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Більше 50 авіакомпаній підтримують міжнародні сполучення з 124 містами 31 країни.

Морський порт
Порт Малаги — морський порт міста, який почав діяти як мінімум в 600-му році до н. е. Цей порт є одним із найбільш завантажених портів Середземного моря, його товарообіг склав 428,623 TEU та 642,529 пасажирів у 2008 році.

Надшвидкісний поїзд
Вокзал «Малага ім. Марії Замбрано» (Málaga-María Zambrano) обслуговується надшвидкісним сполученням AVE, управляється перевізником Renfe — в минулому державною, а нині приватною компанією. Завдяки мережі колій AVE experience, місто має швидкісне залізничне сполучення із 17 основними містами Іспанії.

Дороги і шосе
Дорога A45 прямує на північ до Антекери та Кордови. Шосе A-7 проходить паралельно дорозі N-340, вони обидві прямують на захід до Кадісу та до Барселони на північний схід.

Демографія

Релігія
 Центр Малазької діоцезії Католицької церкви.

У Малазі представлений широкий спектр релігій. Більшість жителів міста вважають себе католиками. Один з найкрасивіших соборів — це «Santuario de la Virgen de la Victoria ». Іслам також тут представлений, ведеться будівництво нової мечеті.
Євангелісти  також представлені у Малазі. Юдейська община у Малазі  має тут синагогу та Асоціацію юдеїв. Є в місті індуїстський храм та буддистська пагода (ступа, субурган) у Беналмедені, що лише у 12 милях від Малаги. Ця буддистська пагода — найбільша в Європі.

Туризм

Місто є туристичним центром, в основному, завдяки привабливості кліматичного курортного регіону Коста-дель-Соль, столицею якого є Малага. Туристи також відвідують місце, де народився Пабло Пікассо. З Малаги можна дістатись поїздом, автобусом чи автомобілем до інших іспанських міст, таких як Севілья, Кордова, Гранада та інших.

Популярною є прогулянка вгору по схилах до замку Гібральфаро (Парадор), з якого добре оглядати краєвиди міста. Замок розташований поблизу мавританської фортеці Alcazaba, звідки зовсім недалеко до центру Малаги. Шлях пролягатиме через парк Paseo (алея, що тягнеться вздовж парку, прикрашена пальмами та скульптурами) до затоки, закінчуючись головною торговою вулицею міста — Calle Larios.
