The new European Payment Services Directive
by Nick Ismail 13 September 2016
The new European Payment Services Directive signifies the days of organisations operating as lone entities are quickly waning.
In our increasingly interconnected world, companies are finding that collaborating with others can help them create new business opportunities, gain competitive advantage and foster innovation.
According to IBM's recent global C-suite study, more than twice as many CxOs recognise the need for external innovation as those that recognise the need for internal innovation.
One enduring theme emerged from the study: organisations realise they can no longer compete on their own.
In fact, almost 70% are looking to increase their external partnerships.
Companies in all industries are turning to APIs to help build these bridges to other organisations and unlock each partner's unique data and capabilities.
>See also: How business can drive innovation with the new Payment Services Directive
This is especially true in the financial services industry where APIs can enable organisations to share data and applications using easily accessible standards and platforms.
Recent regulations, such as the European Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) will have a major, direct impact on the banking industry in the European Union and European Economic Area.
According to the directive, any banks that operate in Europe will need to provide wider access to their customer data and payment processing systems to registered third-party providers ranging from traditional banks to app providers.
This happens in the form of APIs that can expose access to data and services.
To capitalise on PSD2 opportunities and comply with mandates, financial services organisations must implement a broad array of APIs, including multiple APIs that enable third-party providers to offer access to service subscription, payment initiation and account information.
From a business and technical perspective, this requires work across numerous dimensions.
Providers must not only incorporate ways to request account information and initiate payments, but also form external partnerships and develop ecosystem that ensure necessary service-level agreements are met.

Ultimately, the goal is to become more customer orientated by providing enhanced products and services – even if they come from trusted third parties.
While APIs represent the basic tools for application developers and data scientists, more importantly they represent a new form of business model innovation, bringing together disparate functionality to create completely new customer experiences.
What's more, they have the potential to redefine the nature of partnerships between banks and FinTechs, allowing them to participate in ecosystems without the traditional need for extensive negotiation and customisation of information systems.
In addition, they enable organisations of all sizes to tap into services –such as customer insights or cognitive computing – that are too difficult, expensive or time-consuming to reproduce in-house.
For example, banks that proactively embrace PSD2 can retain and gain customers by offering new consumer services through innovative apps.
A bank could give customers a global view of their financial situation across multiple current accounts or let customers automatically draw payments from a non-interest-bearing account before using funds from an interest-bearing account.
Partners and consumers can benefit as well.
For instance, a bank could begin providing travel services, taking advantage of relationships with a travel agency to create personalised packages.
The bank could offer those packages at a discount as an incentive to use the bank's payment APIs, monetising both account access and the payments made possible from many different account types.

These are just a few examples of how the API economy – the commercial exchange of business functions and capabilities using APIs – will help usher in the next level of marketplace differentiation.
Banks that take a proactive approach to PSD2 and opening up their APIs, while embracing changes and modifying their business model, can become disrupters that reap the rewards of shaping the new landscape.
They can gain a first-mover advantage in forging new relationships and partnering with FinTechs to create innovative new services.
Successful banks will see APIs not just as technical tools, but as a source of strategic value in today's digital economy.
After all, a bank's data is one of its most valuable assets.

Visitors arrive at your landing page for a specific purpose by clicking online ads and links in emails and social media messages you've created. But sometimes, visitors get packing as soon as they even get there. How come? 1. It looks nothing like the ad's call to action or theme. How many times have you clicked an ad or link in an email only to find out that the page you land on has nothing to do with the ad or link? That mistake is so unbelievably irritating

What was hotshot federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald thinking? In December 2008 he crowed that Blago was nabbed "in the middle of what we can only describe as a public corruption crime spree. The conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave." For the prosecution, it should have been a slam-dunk conviction of charges that included bribery, extortion, racketeering, conspiracy and lying under oath.
The verdict: guilty of one count out of 24.
A Failure of Salesmanship
Fitzgerald's team spent months untangling evidence and apparently bollixed it up into an incomprehensible mess. The whole sordid saga may have been perfectly clear to the prosecutors, but they failed miserably when selling it to a jury made up of non-lawyers.
We Are All Authors
Whether creating a letter, memo, e-mail, legal brief, special report, proposal, press release, advertisement, article for publication or a full-blown book, we are all authors.
And being an author means being a salesman.
April 13, 2010 The Dearth of Editors
As I get older—and my time on this planet gets shorter—I go berserk when people promise one thing in writing, deliver something else and waste my time.
At right "IN THE NEWS" is the lede of Howard Shapiro's review of "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller at the University of Delaware, roughly an hour's drive from my house in center city Philadelphia.
I wanted to know one thing quickly: was this production worth the trip?
Of the 403-word review, the first 88 words are devoted to the excruciatingly dull details of how Shapiro got stuck in stop-and-go 8 mph traffic that caused him to miss Act I.
Shapiro spends the next 94 words dumping all over Arthur Miller's first act—which he has not seen:
Ah, yes, the babbling, daydreaming Willy Loman, aging badly from a hard life of sales on the road, is in his Brooklyn house, frightening his wife with his erratic behavior. He's also yelling at his grown boys—particularly Biff, who had been Willy's great hope and now is his constant disappointment.
In all, 182 words—or 45 percent of this supposed review—are expended (1) highlighting Howard Shapiro's self-described inability to keep an appointment and (2) wasting my time.
Shapiro and his editor—if such an animal exists in the bankrupt Philadelphia Inquirer—should be fired for letting this irrelevant drivel see print.
My message to Howard Shapiro—and to everyone that writes for public consumption (as opposed to private diaries or journals):
Consider the readers needs and wants before your own
Ruthlessly self-edit, because most businesses do not have professional editors.

I have taken some flak for my definition of a blog: "A cross between bog and blob." By that I mean many bloggers love to clear their throats, roll up their sleeves, rub their hands together and talk about what they had for breakfast, whereupon you are in the middle of Page 2 and have learned nothing.

At least you still aren't carrying around a toilet handle int he back seat or your car.
Oh! – and I love the green bag in your trunk!
That is the spring purse Murphy *didn't* pee on.

One of my co-workers named him. Isn't it perfect?
Aaah, Glitzen's third Christmas office….how nice.
Glitzen kind of gets around.


How to beat Obama and the Dems? Simple.
When you go to get gas for your car, just take a photo with your cellphone camera of the price per gallon and how much you paid. Post it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, any social network you can think of and put a caption below it: Thanks Obama.
Then in November, watch the votes turn away from Obama to whomever is running against him.
If we were drilling in the available places in North America prices wouldn't be where they are. Obama is foot dragging permits on drilling and pipelines for a reason. It's his policy to make prices higher to force green energy adoption.
He absolutely is responsible for the higher prices.
Pipeline Map in North America.
Could there really be a problem adding one more pipeline? What's one more? If this many older pipelines haven't caused an environmental problem, how bad could a new one with new technology be? Give me a break!!!
In the meantime the Chinese just started drilling off the Florida coast in one of the most environmentally risky places – and Obama won't allow us drill in safer places in the gulf.
Post your pictures every time you get gas and welcome a new resident to the Whitehouse in the next term.
And if you want, post your pictures in the comments below! I'll forward them to social media for you!


I've posted this romantic Baxter & Ted wedding film on the blog before but Johanna & Andy's first wedding anniversary this month is an excuse to watch this cute mini film again. I can't believe it's been a year already since Johanna & Andy's June wedding. Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary guys!
Johanna & Andy's gorgeous wedding film by Baxter & Ted is completely romantic! And even more romantic is that Andy booked Baxter & Ted as his surprise wedding present to the lovely Johanna – she was sooo thrilled! From their time alone in the gardens to the bridesmaids' frolics in the honeymoon cottage plus the smallest details of Johanna's fab dress and beautiful bouquet, so many special elements have been beautifully captured as a life long reminder of their wonderful wedding day. I can see Johanna & Andy snuggled up on the sofa on a cold winter's night watching this lil film and re-living their super special summer wedding day.

Already had your meal but still feeling peckish? These Singaporean treats are a perfect snack for moments where you don't want a full meal - and the best part is that there are both sweet and savoury options!

Following on from last week, drama fills this cycle; starting with a fight between Devin (of course) and Hadassah. Hadassah is so gifable from just five minutes this episode, I' definitely liking her more, and Devin just has to go. I cannot stand him anymore.
Cycle 22's intro is really kind of whacky, but if we have to endure this every episode, at least we get to see Nyle rocking those bracers.
Oh, and Mikey's moved on from Courtney to Ashley- taking bubble baths together now- just like that. Douche.
The contestants were taken to their photo shoot this week which has a military theme, shooting with real war veterans, Alex and Melissa.
It seems a mess of a shoot, despite what could have been quite a high end brief. The styling seems really wrong and they all look bad on set. But Mame I thought actually brought something different, as did Mikey, Justin and Nyle.
Ava actually kind of reminds me of a girl that would have participated ANTM in the earlier cycles... she kind of looks a bit like a Cassandra (C5).
Best makeover goes to Lacey- she looks great with her new hair!
At panel, the judges loved Ava's shot given her exaggerated pose, and also Nyle (with a stronger face), Justin and Bello. I didn't get Bello- thought he was rather disconnected.
Courtney's makeover was pretty good, but I didn't like her photo just a really awkward pose, and so was Hadassah's, like she was just falling and her face was a shock. Poor Dustin just doesn't know how to use his boy next door face :P IMPROVE, QUICKLY, PLEASE.
Mame was stunning on set, and I actually loved her shot. The composition was great, if only she extended a bit more leg or torso for length. I think her shot definitely the most editorial. For the guys, Mikey definitely pulled off the best shot.
Ava looked great, but I just didn't quite get her pose, like it doesn't look natural at all... it's exaggerated but feels forced, like she's an alter ego or a parasite. . . and Devin... what is up with his pose... which he named the 'bird of paradise' cringe. Nyle's shot was great, just lacked some face and his flinging hand was somewhat awkward, otherwise great shot.

Setting up MIDI keyboard in Cubase 5

Hey guys, I'm stuck and would very much appreciate some help.
Yamaha PSR 350 keyboard
Yamaha UX16 MIDI/USB cable (connects keyboard to computer)
I know that the driver of the UX16 is installed because I can eject the "Yamaha USB-MIDI driver", by accessing one of the icons in the bottom right corner of the computer screen.
When I open up an empty project and play the keys of my keyboard I can see that Cubase picks it up, but there is no sound. I tried recording though and nothing is picked up. I went under "MIDI Devices Manager" and under "Install Device", my keyboard isn't listed.
What steps do I need to take? Please advise.
I've added two pics
For the first pic the "In" is the "Yamaha UX16-1" (my keyboard isn't mentioned)

It may not being seeing the keyboard because it doesn't know it's there. The USB device may know it's there, and the computer knows the USB device is there. The computer isn't talking directly to the keyboard, so the computer doesn't know who it is. The USB device is just passing along the info, I suspect.
Apparently, the USB device needs drivers, from a quick glance at Yamaha's page. Did it also come with some small application to recognize and set up any of a number of keyboards? I doubt it, but it's worth wondering. it says it works on ANY keyboard (probably also output to any outboard module that's able to recognize GM/XG MIDI), so I imagine that once the drivers are installed, it just translates any ol' MIDI data to pass through USB. I know you have the drivers installed, because Cubase sees the device.
Now then...getting them to meet.
1) The keyboard MIDI Out Channel must be set to a channel you choose to transmit. If you just play one thing at a time, and want to trigger sounds in the computer, just set it to Channel 1 (unless you are triggering drums, then set it to Channel 10, because that's the normal MIDI drum channel.)
2) You must set the MIDI In channel in whatever software you are using to receive the data sent by the keyboard by setting it to the same channel as the MIDI Channel Out that you set on the keyboard. In your case, it's Cubase, so choose a track, and assign its input to receive the MIDI from the USB device, and set the track's MIDI receive (MIDI In) channel.
3) You must assign a sound for the keyboard to trigger, or it won't make a sound, (though, if you've done the preceding properly, you likely could actually record MIDI data and it will show up in the track, but since it's not triggering anything because it doesn't know WHAT to trigger, there will be no sound). On the Cubase track that you just set up, assign an instrument of your choosing. It could be anything that receives a MIDI input to trigger sound...an internal soundcard, a virtual instrument (VSTi), an outboard sound module, or even another keyboard. NOTE: (Any external device will also have to be set up to receive the same MIDI channel.)
You MAY want to start out with MIDI In to the keyboard disconnected, for now. See if you can get the keyboard to trigger a sound, and record MIDI data, first. The reason for that is that if your keyboard MIDI In is also set to the same channel as you set everything else to, and it's connected, most programs (I believe Cubase included) will automatically send that data back into your keyboard, causing a MIDI loop. That will cause, possibly, stuck notes, double-notes or even a complete program hang. The first goal is to get the keyboard to trigger a sound.
When you accomplish that task, then you can go in and set Cubase, or the keyboard, to NOT retransmit the input back to the keyboard. Once you have that figured out, you could leave both cables connected, so you can have the computer sequencer (Cubase) triggering the keyboard sounds, if you want. You don't NEED the MIDI Out (from computer into keyboard) at all, if you never want to have the computer play the keyboard. In other words, it won't hurt to leave it disconnected, at least for now. The keyboard-to-computer should still work fine with the other cable disconnected.
I haven't used Cubase in years, so I don't remember what the setting is, or where it is, to prevent it from looping the MIDI back out. That will be in the manual, or maybe someone here will throw in that little nugget. It'll likely be in one of your "Settings" menus.
Anyway, try all that first, then if you have more questions, revisit the topic and update us.
Basically, set MIDI out channel on keyboard.
Set up track in Cubase, and set MIDI input channel to match.
Assign instrument to track.

Standing right behind you!
When I use MIDI in Cubase 5, I always add a "Instrument track" rather than a MIDI track. Then Cubase asks me what instrument I want, and boom! It plays.
I have never been able to get a MIDI track to play sounds triggered from my KB.
Of course I have to select the MIDI input on the instrument's Inspector, and all that.
JohnTodd, Feb 24, 2012
Thanks for the detailed advice Kapt.Krunch, you've been very helpful.
Now, I added a MIDI track and can pick up the sound directly from the keyboard but, there is a slight lag between the instant I press the keys and the sound I hear.

What instrument did you assign to it...as in, is it to a soundcard, or are you triggering a VSTi, etc?

Are you going out an ASIO compatible audio interface, or out your PC's sound card? If it's out the basic pc sound card using direct sound, then you'll get a lot of lag. I found that when I first starting playing about with a midi keyboard. Switched the output to my audio interface and the lag went from 100 ms (or greater) to about 3-5 ms.

Caledonia Spirits breaks ground on Montpelier distillery
By Neal Goswami
Published: Aug. 9, 2018 at 4:57 PM EDT
Vermont's craft brewing industry is booming, but coming up on its heels are craft spirits. Vermont now has 28 local distilleries turning out all kinds of hard alcohol. Now, with a few years under their belts, some of the more established distillers are beginning to expand, creating a fast-growing sector of the state's economy.
Caledonia Spirit's gin is extremely popular, helping the company expand. Officials broke ground Thursday on a new distillery and tasting room along the Winooski River in Montpelier.
"We produce everything and it's a harder path, but to steal a quote from our founder Todd Hardie, 'That's what makes the gin taste better,'" said the company's Ryan Christiansen.
Caledonia Spirits and Smuggler's Notch lead the way in Vermont's expanding liquor industry, accounting for 25 percent of local product sales.
"They're growing by leaps and bounds and over the last 14 years Vermont has seen a number of these distilleries grow from a mere three to now we have 28," said Gov. Phil Scott, R-Vermont.
"I would describe it as strong," said Department of Liquor and Lottery Commissioner Patrick Delaney. He says three more distilleries opened in the past two years, and sales of Vermont products are growing faster than the overall market. "Business is growing. The increase in case volume has been encouraging. The number of participants in the industry has been encouraging."
Sales of Vermont products were up more than five percent last fiscal year and Vermont companies sold 16,000 cases of alcohol. The 19 Vermont producers selling through the department are making more than 150 products. Delaney says it's all helping Vermont's economy. "I would definitely consider the craft distilling industry to be an economic driver within the state. It does create jobs," he said.
Alcoholic products can often be similar, so Delaney says Vermont companies will need to remain unique to stand out. "For local producers to remain competitive they're going to have to continue upping their game. That has to do with packaging, brand imaging, quality of product and uniqueness of flavor profiles," he said.
And with more space to grow, Caledonia Spirits is toasting its future. "There are major billion dollar companies out there that we go to bat with every single day. They are buying up shelf space, they have flawless marketing, they have all of the shiny objects. Yet, somehow, this little Caledonia Spirits and Barr Hill Gin continue to grow," Christiansen said.
Delaney says Vermont distillers are creating a foothold and the local industry should see expansion in the years ahead.
The Department of Liquor and Lottery sold $80 million dollars of alcohol last year -- and about $16 million came from Vermont companies.

OBJECT OF QUARTETT: The object of Quartett is to be the player to collect the most Quartetts.
MATERIALS: A modified deck of 52 cards or a Quartett deck, and a flat surface.
TYPE OF GAME: Matching Card Game
AUDIENCE: Any Age
OVERVIEW OF QUARTETT
Quartett is a matching card game for 2 to 6 players. The object of the game is to collect as many Quartetts as possible before the end of the game.
The game is played differently when playing with 2 players versus playing with 3 or more.
If not using a Quartett deck, then you will need to modify a 52-card deck to a 32-card deck. This is done by removing all cards ranked 6 and lower.
For three-player or more games, the dealer is chosen at random. They will shuffle the deck and deal out the deck as evenly as possible to all players.
For two-player games, the dealer is chosen randomly, and the dealer will shuffle the deck. They will deal each player a hand of 10 cards each and then place the remaining 12 cards in the center as a draw pile.
The player to the dealer's left starts the game (or the non-dealer player in a two-player game). On a player's turn, they may ask another player for a specific card stating both the rank and number they are looking for. For example, a player may ask another for a 7 of diamonds. A player may only ask for a card of a particular rank if they have another card of the same rank in hand.
If a player has the card that matches what you asked for, they must give it to you. Your turn continues and you may ask for another card from the same, or a different opponent.
If they do not have in hand the card you requested, your turn is over, and play is passed to them.
In a two-player game when the player does not have the requested card, they draw from the deck before taking their turn.
When a player has four of a kind in hand, they place all four face-up on the table in front of them. A four of a kind is called a Quartett. There are 8 Quartetts in the deck.
Once all Quartetts have been collected then the game has ended, and players may score.
As a note, if playing with a Quartett deck then the cards will not be the same as in a modified 52-card deck. When asking for cards, you will be using the suit distinguishing feature plus its rank to clarify which card you are asking for. The remainder of the game is played the same.
Once all 8 Quartetts have been collected the game ends. Players will count each of their completed Quartetts.
The game ends once all Quartetts are collected and counted. The player with the most Quartetts wins the game.

I enjoy decorating interior and exterior surfaces because it brings life and beauty to flatness and monotony.

Any empty miserable murals around?

First things first: I promise you I don't just read books because my sister tells me to. However, in the case of The five people you meet in Heaven that is actually the case.
Anyways, I've just recently re-read it, so I figured I might as well go ahead and write a review about it!
Let's go to GoodReads for this one again, shall we?
"Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination, but an answer.
In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.
Eddie, the main character, as was already mentioned in the summary, is an elderly man who still works, as he has all his life, at a seaside amusement park. This amusement park has existed on Ruby's Pier for years now, and Eddie has been working there almost as long. On the day that he turns 83, he unexpectedly dies while trying to save a little girl.
Love like rain, can nourish from above, drenching couples with soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive.
When Eddie wakes up, it is to find that he's seemingly back at the Pier as it was when he was child. It's here that he encounters The Blue Man. As he goes on, and slowly gets closer and closer to his "dying age", he encounters his former captain, the girl Ruby's Pier was named after, Eddie's wife and a girl who's significance I'm not going to spoil for you here.
These characters are all mainly symbolical – if nothing else, they're there to teach Eddie about his life, be it for the good or for the bad.
So here's the thing: this book could easily have been incredibly heavy. The author might have opted to describe the idea of life after death in a much more philosophical way. The way he opted to go instead made for a very fun read.
The prose was fairly light for its topic, while the flashbacks were welll placed and allowed for a better understanding of the present. The narrating voice was just present enough, and I couldn't help but like and feel for Eddie.
At the same time, there were definitely some parts where the entire thing felt just a bit too belligerent.
However, I ended up finding those quite easy to forgive. The rest of the story was just too good!
The author didn't make life easy on himself, choosing such a difficult subject. The way he tackled it, however, made for a read that had me, at times, both laughing and crying.
No story sits by itself, Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river.
No matter the subject, this is a book you'll be able to get through fairly easy. At the same time, though, it will definitely make you stop and think sometimes. I can honestly say that when I first read it, as well as when I reread it more recently, it left me feeling kind of unbalanced. It somehow changed the way I looked at my world, even if just for a little bit. And that's probably the biggest complement I can give any book!


If you go too long without sleeping or eating, you'll collapse.
It doesn't matter how strong you are – your body has physical limits, and when you reach them you will shut down.
Similarly, if you go too long without taking care of yourself emotionally, you will burn out or melt down. It doesn't matter if you are Mr. Rogers or Mother Teresa – even the most loving people in the world can't take care of others unless they take care of themselves, too.
The bottom line: If you want to take care of other people, you need to take care of yourself.
Therapists call this idea "self-care" but you can call it whatever you want. Just make sure you do it!
To help you figure out if you need better self-care, I've written up some questions you should ask yourself. Take some time to think through these questions now.
Are you eating three meals a day?
Are you able to exercise?
Do you have people you talk to about your problems?
Do you spend time with people just to have fun, not so you can support them?
Are you able to say "No" to your friends when you need to?
Can you be happy even when you know your friend is still struggling?
Are you able to pursue personal goals and dreams that are important to you?
If you answer "No" to any of these questions, it may be a sign that you should prioritize self-care.
If you answer "No" to a lot of these questions, you need to take better care of yourself or you will burn out.
Remember, nobody needs you to be a superhero. It's wonderful that you are supporting your friend, and sometimes it can feel like you need to burn yourself out to be a true friend.
But you can't help anyone if you burn out -- and if you don't take care of yourself, you will burn out. Remember that your life matters too, and your friend wants you to be happy even if they are not.


Barbara's husband was in a hospital bed and he was in a coma.
The doctors weren't really sure what was wrong with him, but he had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months.
Things looked grim, but Barbara was by his bedside every single day.
One day, as he slipped back into consciousness, he motioned for her to come close to him.
She pulled the chair close to the bed, and leaned her ear close to be able to hear him.
"What, dear?" she asked gently, smiling to herself.

Proposed Wembley Stadium Sale Cancelled After Shahid Khan Formally Withdraws £600m Offer
Wembley Stadium will not be sold to American businessman Shahid Khan after the FA confirmed that the Fulham and Jacksonville Jaguars owners has withdrawn his offer.
Khan was believed to have put forward an offer of £600m for the stadium that also allowed the FA to retain the 'Club Wembley' hospitality business, valued at up to another £300m.
IAN KINGTON/GettyImages
While many saw the potential positives of the proposed deal, mainly with regard to funding grassroots development with the cash windfall, it was also highly criticised. And it is the divisive impact that has seen Khan ultimately opt to withdraw his offer.
A statement from FA chief executive Martin Glenn published on Wednesday afternoon read: "Earlier this year, The FA received an unsolicited official offer from Shahid Khan to buy Wembley Stadium. It was a very credible offer and was given very serious consideration.
"Shahid Khan has informed us today that he will be withdrawing his offer to buy the stadium – and we fully respect his decision.
Alex Livesey/GettyImages
"Mr Khan believed that his offer to buy Wembley Stadium would release funds to help improve community football facilities in England and that it would be well received by all football stakeholders.
"At a recent meeting with Mr Khan he expressed to us that, without stronger support from within the game, his offer is being seen as more divisive than it was anticipated to be and has decided to withdraw his proposal.
"Wembley Stadium is an iconic venue that is revered around world and it will continue to thrive under the ownership and direction of The FA.
"There has been much deliberation on both sides of this debate and it has undoubtedly raised awareness of the issue that community football facilities in England need significant investment.
Catherine Ivill/GettyImages
"We would like to thank the football stakeholders, Government, FA Board and Council members for their collaborative approach throughout this process. We will continue to work together to identify new and innovative ways of investing in community football facilities in the future."


Many financial experts and institutions will tell you that the first thing they check out when it comes to potential borrowers is the borrower's credit standing.
Secured loans for people with bad credit do exist. Because of changing times, lending institutions are beginning to see some sort of stability and profitability with this type of loan.
Opting for a secured loan if you have bad credit might initially be met with a bit of hesitation, but this hesitation can be easily alleviated. A loan can actually improve your credit rating and you can slowly but surely transition back into a more financially secure position.
This loan might actually be your ticket out of that "bad credit rep" that prevents you from being approved for a wide variety of finance-related tools. It also becomes extra easy to erase your bad past when you have collateral to offer, such as a house, land, or car.
This type of loan is tailored individuals who have made big financial and credit-related mistakes in the past but are determined to become better borrowers.
There are more praise-worthy things about these loans. For one, your poor history will not become an obstacle in getting approval for your request.
There may be times when would-be borrowers might feel alone because big financial institutions and banks reject their loan application after a single glance at their credit history, but outfits that offer secured loans for people with bad credit do not work that way.
In the past, financial institutions were strict with bad credit borrowers and many people were restricted in getting a loan, thereby making the borrower market smaller.
If in the past the loans for the bad credit borrowers used to be expensive, now they are much more on the affordable side. It is probably safe to say that these institutions and lending outfits have seen a better way to help bad credit borrowers dig themselves out of the rut. Slowly but surely, they turn these bad credit borrowers into stable investors and long-term borrowers they can trust.

Atunci când principele Sicard de Benevento a fost asasinat de către Radelchis în anul 839, locuitorii din Salerno l-au proclamat imediat ca principe pe fiul său, Siconulf. Războiul s-a dezlănțuit între Radelchis (rămas principe de Benevento) și Siconulf până când împăratul Ludovic al II-lea a sosit în Italia și a forțat încheierea păcii în 851, confirmându-l pe Siconulf ca principe de Salerno.

 840–851: Siconulf
 851–853: Sico al II-lea
 853: Petru
 853–861: Ademar
 861–880: Guaifer
 880–900: Guaimar I
 900–946: Guaimar al II-lea
 946–978: Gisulf I
 973: Landulf de Conza, în opoziție
 978–981 Pandulf I "Cap de Fier" (de asemenea duce de Benevento, principe de Capua și duce de Spoleto)
 981: Pandulf al II-lea (declarat moștenitor din 973)
 981–983: Manso (de asemenea duce de Amalfi)
 981–983: Ioan I, co-principe (ulterior, duce de Amalfi)
 983–994: Ioan al II-lea
 994–1027: Guaimar al III-lea
 1027–1052: Guaimar al IV-lea (de asemenea duce de Amalfi, duce de Gaeta și principe de Capua)
 1052: Pandulf al III-lea, uzurpator
 1052–1077: Gisulf al II-lea (de asemenea duce de Amalfi)

Salerno a fost asediat de către normanzii conduși de Robert Guiscard și de principele Richard I de Capua, până când a căzut în ziua de 13 decembrie 1076. Principele Gisulf al II-lea s-a predat în anul următor, iar principatul - ultimul stat longobard din Italia - a dispărut de pe hartă. Salerno a devenit capitala lui Robert Guiscard, care stăpânea Ducatul de Apulia, Calabria și Sicilia.

Yoon Jeon Kim, Kyung Rim Sung, Yoo-Ri Chung, Kyoung Sub Lee, Soo Geun Joe, Joo Yong Lee, June-Gone Kim, Young Hee Yoon; Longterm effect of multiple intravitreal anti VEGF injection on intraocular pressure. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2013;54(15):6301.
To evaluate the longterm effect of multiple intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections on intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with neovascular age related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Patients who underwent multiple (more than 3 times) intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and were followed more than 12 months after last injection were consecutively enrolled. Clinical information such as baseline demographics, underlying disease, baseline IOP, and frequency of anti-VEGF injections were obtained via medical record review. IOP elevation was defined as increase of 5mmHg higher than baseline measurement on 2 consecutive visits. The frequency of IOP elevation was determined, and hazard ratio of each putative risk factor for IOP elevation was calculated using Cox proportional hazard model.
Six hundred and thirty nine eyes with neovascular AMD and 95 eyes with RVO were included in the analysis. Twenty eyes with neovascular AMD (3.0%) and 7 eyes with RVO (7.4%), showed IOP elevation after multiple anti-VEGF injections. In 27 eyes experiencing IOP elevation, IOP at the last follow up was 13.9 ± 2.3 mmHg, which was not significantly different from the baseline IOP, 13.4 ± 3.0 mmHg (P = 0.53). In neovascular AMD patients, history of IOP elevation associated with intravitreal steroid injections (34.465, P = 0.002), and history of glaucoma (4.201, P = 0.0285) were significant risk factors according to multivariate Cox proportional hazards. In RVO patients, history of glaucoma (7.217, P= 0.047) was a significant risk factors. In cox proportional hazard analysis of total participants incorporating underline disease as another variable, history of IOP elevation associated with intravitreal steroid injections (25.154, P = 0.002), history of glaucoma (5.294, P = 0.003), baseline IOP of treated eyes (0.826, P = 0.009), and diagnosis of RVO (2.959, P = 0.019) were significant risk factors for IOP elevation after multiple anti-VEGF injections.
The incidence of IOP elevation after multiple intravitreal anti-VEGF injections was low, and elevated IOP was normalized without medication in most of cases in our study.

Montgomery County Sheriff unveils AID system
in Top Stories
Sam Wall
editor@ourvalley.org
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Department will be the first law enforcement agency in the country to outfit its deputies with a state-of-the-art injury detection system.
Sheriff Hank Partin unveiled the new technology last week with a demonstration that gave attendees a first-hand look at how the program works. The Automatic Injury Detection (AID) system connects a panel that is inserted into the deputy's bulletproof vest to smartphones and police radios of select personnel as well as emergency services operators.
Those in attendance connected their phones to the alert system and watched via video link as a dummy wearing the panel was shot at which point participants received a text alert saying, "Deputy Smith, Blood O has been injured: abdomen." A link to Google maps was also sent showing the deputies exact location.
Partin said that the system cost $86,000, which the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors approved last year. He said that the county may actually saved money by upgrading the radio equipment now, as opposed to two years from now when new regulations would make their current radios obsolete.
The vests sensors detect injuries from shooting, stabbing or shrapnel from explosions, and in addition to blood type and location, identify ant allergies to medicine that a deputy may have.
Partin said deputies having to radio in during emergencies is not pratical or sometimes even possible depending on the seriousness of an injury, and the system gives them a much needed tool in the field.
"We saw how one piece of technology can save an officer's life and give their family peace of mind when they walk out the door," he said.
Partin said that the army has tested much of the technology and he expects the federal government will start trying to push other law enforcement agencies to pursue the technology.
Ken Brinkley, who works for Select Engineering Services LLC, the company who created the panels and sensors, said that the technology was the biggest improvement in policing technology since radios and cell phones.
The department will be outfitting 133 officers with the technology that Partin expects to be in use by early March.
The last deputy shot was in 2006 when Cpl. Eric Sutphin was killed in the line of duty.

What Is AIDS? What Is HIV?
by Medical News Today | 13 May 2012 | Dossier
AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The illness alters the immune system, making people much more vulnerable to infections and diseases. This susceptibility worsens as the disease progresses. HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person (semen and vaginal fluids, blood and breast milk). The virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy, delivering the baby during childbirth, and through breast feeding. HIV can be transmitted in many ways, such as vaginal, oral sex, anal sex, blood transfusion, and contaminated hypodermic needles. Both the virus and the disease are often referred to together as HIV/AIDS. People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. As a result, some will then develop AIDS. The development of numerous opportunistic infections in an AIDS patient can ultimately lead to death. According to research, the origins of HIV date back to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century in west-central Africa. AIDS and its cause, HIV, were first identified and recognized in the early 1980s. There is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS. Treatments can slow the course of the disease - some infected people can live a long and relatively healthy life. Estimated HIV/AIDS prevalence among young adults (15-49) by country as of 2008. UNAIDS 2008 report What is the difference between HIV and AIDS? HIV is the virus which attacks the T-cells in the immune system. AIDS is the syndrome which appears in advanced stages of HIV infection. HIV is a virus. AIDS...
Frequent Urination – Causes And Treatments
by Medical News Today | 4 Apr 2012 | Dossier
Frequent urination, where you feel an urge to pass urine more often than usual, is not just a a nuisance and a cause of poor sleep, it can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Polyuria is a medical term that refers to the excessive passing of urine (frequent urination). Unfortunately many people soldier on, perhaps accepting it as something they have to put up with, or they don't think it is worth bothering the doctor about, or maybe they are scared it might signify something serious. But often, when they seek diagnosis and treatment, patients find the cause is not serious or harmful, and it is possible to return to normal urinary habits. For instance, frequent urination can result from drinking too many fluids, particularly those containing caffeine or alcohol. Pregnant women often have the condition, due to the enlarged uterus pressing on the bladder. However, should it be the case that frequent urination is a symptom of something more serious, then there is even more reason to seek medical attention, because the sooner it is diagnosed and treated, the greater the chance of successful treatment. This article first considers the nature of urination, and then some of the symptoms, causes, and treatments of frequent urination. Urine and Urination Urinary System Diagram 1. Urinary system: 2.

10 Neglected Tropical Diseases – Target For End Of Decade
by Medical News Today | 31 Jan 2012 | Dossier
The aim is to eliminate or at least control 10 neglected tropical diseases by 2020 - it is a public and private partnership, including 13 drug companies, the UK, US and United Arab Emirate Governments, the World Bank, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and some other worldwide organizations. The partners aim to work together to eliminate neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in countries where they are endemic. They have pledged to liaise closely with affected countries. According to WHO (World Health Organization), 1.4 billion people are affected by the ten NTDs; the majority of them live in the poorest countries in the world. In an official announcement made today at the Royal College of Physicians, London, the partners said they would combat NTDs by: Expanding or at least sustaining drug donation programs so that demand is met right through to the end of 2020. Share knowhow and new active ingredients to speed up R&D of new medications. The allocation of over $785 million to improve R&D efforts and support drug distribution and implementation programs. The endorsement of the "London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases". The Declaration promises a new level of commitment and collaboration in the tracking of progress. Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said: "Today, we have joined together to increase the impact of our investments and build on the tremendous progress made to date. This innovative approach must serve as a model for solving other global development challenges and will help millions of people build self-sufficiency and overcome the need for aid." The Gates Foundation says it is donating $363 million over...
India Polio-Free For One Year
India, which was once a major polio hotspot, has reported no new cases of the disease in just over 12 months, ever since a two-year old female case on 13th January, 2011, in the state of West Bengal. According to WHO (World Health Organization), India used to be known as the planet's "epicenter" of polio. WHO scientists say that as soon as all remaining lab investigations come back negative, India will be officially recognized as a nation that has stopped indigenous transmission of wild poliovirus, leaving just three countries with existing indigenous transmissions - Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan. Despite this major achievement, scientists say India must not become complacent. Childhood immunity against wild poliovirus must be religiously maintained, as should nationwide surveillance. Unfortunately, and also rather worryingly, Pakistan and Afghanistan have had rising numbers of reported poliovirus infections over the last 12 months. Poliovirus found its way from Pakistan into China, re-infecting the country after it had been polio-free for over a decade. Nigeria, DR Congo, and Chad continue having active polio transmission. There have also been sporadic outbreaks in Central and West Africa over the past year. Polio will remain a global threat as long as it exists somewhere in the world, says WHO. Health experts and leaders throughout the world praised India for its dedication and commitment to the eradication of polio, as well as the millions of health workers, including vaccinators, community mobilizers, Rotarians, caregivers and parents who have been behind this drive over the last decade. Over 170 million kids under 5 are vaccinated annually in India - this includes 70 million in very high-risk areas. A...

sreekirch's Movie Review of Prometheus (2012)

Prometheus (2012)
debatable question with a pointless climax
sreekirch - wrote on 10/06/12
Prometheus is based on a simple theme, How humans came? This question is put forward since years and many theories of evolution of humans are believable. Still, there is yet a big doubt. So Ridley Scott answers this question? No, but he tries to give a clue. The clue is neither believable nor so cheap. It might be another context in the learning process of human origin. Prometheus is named after a ship, in which few geologists, scientists travel to find the answer to the questions very far from earth. There is a resemblance to a moon near Saturn. So is any one planning for Saturn? I hope no.
Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) finds a clue in an isle along with her partner Holloway (Guy Pearce) to find the answer for the posing question. They wake up in Prometheus, by kind assistance of David (Fassbender). After the ship lands, expedition begins. In the quest, they find masked alienated bodies running in a flash form. One body falls. This is taken by them. Meanwhile David steals an oozing capsule and brings to the ship. Shaw matches the DNA and gets the answer of the question. It's us. So the next question is how they came here? To find answers they start again. But trouble comes ahead as they find that these human like creatures are been destroyed. Who kill them? Get the answer by watching the film.
A lonely nitrogen and oxygen filled planet looks like a Pandora dumped in the dark. Written by Jon Spaiths and Lindelof, Prometheus is a gamble. First reason is that, answer we get at the end of first half is worth the debate. But the answer at the climax still needs reasoning. So now what! Another film, a sequel. Spaiths is no brainer man. His film previous one, (the darkest hour) was hollow and had an anti climax. Prometheus too was in the same line. But, it atleast had some debatable points. Lindelof might have tuned them. Character development was good. Fassbender was freaking good in his role. Noomi rapace was fine. At first I thought about her past? But later I atleast know her background. Theron plays the captain, who does not quite impress. Guy Pearce was fine as long as he spoke dialogs.
Scott's direction is quite good. The tone of the film is set perfect. His planet was loomy. The ship was well equipped. Scott knew the immense talent of Fassbender. He focussed more on his learning skills and behavioural attitude. The dark world is quite natural. Propelled by some breath taking cinematography and theme music, Scott sets Prometheus to land safely. But he forgets to evoke the nuance behind the minds of Spaiths and Lindelof. Scott failed to give a satisfying conclusion as the story is not complete. But I like the idea, effort and his vision. So I have to wait for the sequel.
Prometheus is a decent action adventure propelled by Rapace and Fassbender, to answer the most debatable question in evolution. Prometheus does not take off, but lands safely.

Jason Derulo has been offered $500,000 to go into porn after Instagram moderators objected to a racy snap of him in his boxer shorts.
Fans went wild over the image of the Talk Dirty hitmaker in which the outline of his manhood was clearly visible, which Jason referred to as his "anaconda".
'I MIGHT HAVE HAD A SEMI': Instagram doesn't agree with the size of Jason Derulo's manhood
However, Instagram officials were less impressed and took down the picture for breaking their rules.
According to TMZ.com, bosses at porn website CamSoda have offered the star $500,000 to share suggestive pictures over six months – although the star won't even have to go nude.
CamSoda chiefs will give him his own page where he can share pics, videos and live streams of himself in his underwear, under the terms of their offer.
The Cats star was outraged when Instagram moderators took down the original picture, writing on the social media site: "F– (sic) u mean? I have underwear on… I can't help my size…"
He previously denied that he had photoshopped his junk, telling fans his package was not artificially altered.

NHL cancels games through December 14
Published On November 24, 2012 | By Kimberly Petalas
All we want for Christmas is a hockey season!
Unfortunately, it is not looking good. On Friday, the NHL canceled all games through December 14, including the All-Star weekend in Columbus, Ohio in January.
The NFL canceled the games due to the lack of movement in recent CBA negotiations. This brings the grand total of games canceled so far this season to 442 games, which is 34.3 percent of the season.
"The reality of losing more regular-season games as well as the 2013 NHL All-Star Weekend in Columbus is extremely disappointing," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "We feel badly for NHL fans and particularly those in Columbus, and we intend to work closely with the Blue Jackets organization to return the NHL All-Star events to Columbus and their fans as quickly as possible."
The cancellation of the games did not take anyone by surprise, but it marked a depressing end to what was at one point a hopeful week.
"All players felt that this week would lead to something," Detroit Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "However as of today unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. It's very disappointing."
The players did bring a deal to the table on Wednesday, but it was not a deal the owners were willing to work with.
"On Wednesday, the players presented a comprehensive proposal, once again moving in the owners' direction in order to get the game back on the ice," Donald Fehr, executive director for the NHL, said in a new statement.
The offer that was presented by the players' union was a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue and $393 million in deferred payments for the players. The NHL offered only $211 million to the players in a proposed deal that took into account that a full 82-game schedule would be played this season.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said that the league is losing $18-20 million per day during the lockout. Therefore two more weeks of cancelled games far exceeds the current economic gap of $182 million that the sides are fighting about.
One thing is for sure: players and owners better start agreeing soon if there's any hope of salvaging part of this season.

Consultant paid same rate as artist painting the Decatur MARTA mural
Decatur slideshow
Dan Whisenhunt Oct 11, 2016
Concept art for the MARTA overpass mural provided by Felici Asteinza.
Plans to paint a mural on the MARTA overpass at West Trinity and Atlanta Avenue will cost $30,000, but only 25 percent of that money will go to the artists painting it.
Another 25 percent, or $7,500, will go to a community engagement consultant hired by the city.
Linda Harris, assistant director of community and economic development for the city, provided a cost breakdown of the mural project to Decaturish.
"Part of the grant requirements were hiring both a community engagement consultant and an artist," Harris said. "No other contracts have been awarded."
The project itself hit a snag when it was discovered that steel portion of the bridge had been covered with lead-based paint. The Decatur City Commission awarded a $58,610 contract clean up the contamination, and MARTA will reimburse the city for that cost.
The city received a $15,000 grant to paint the mural, which required a 100 percent match. The Decatur Arts Alliance selected the MILAGROS Collective, from Miami and New Orleans, to head up the mural project. Design concepts were unveiled Aug. 31 and painting was supposed to begin on Sept. 1, according to the city. Given the escalating costs of decorating the overpass, Decaturish wanted to know how the money was being spent.
Harris said Milagros is receiving $7,500, and has received $3,000 already with the balance due upon the completion of the project. The city also paid $7,500 to Lord Cultural Resources to act as a community-engagement consultant.
"We worked with Joy Bailey Bryant on this project," Harris said. "Lord Cultural Resources did our Cultural Arts Master Plan in 2009. They were also part of the team that created the exhibits in the Beacon Municipal Center that feature the history of the African American community that used to be in that location."
The rest of the costs are as follows:
– $3,000 for materials, which include artist supplies, paint, brushes, etc. and supplies for community engagement activities and workshops
– $3,000 for a maintenance fund
– $3,500 for a videographer
– $2,000 for a photographer
– $3,500 for a community celebration with food, performances and interactive art
Harris said the $15,000 grant match will come from a combination of funds provided by the city of Decatur, the Decatur Housing Authority, the Decatur Downtown Development Authority, the Decatur Arts Alliance, the Task Force for Global Health and the Decatur Tourism Bureau.
When Decaturish asked for a breakdown of the contributions to the grant match, Harris said, "We will compile a final report of expenses and revenues at the end of the project as part of the grant requirement."

Maharaja Ranjit Singh was the founder of the Sikh Empire based in the Punjab region. He came to power in the early half of the 19th century, and his empire existed from 1799 to 1849. Born as the son of Maha Singh, the Commander of the Sukerchakia Misl—one of 12 Sikh Misls in Punjab during the 18th century—Ranjit Singh followed in his courageous father's footsteps to become an even greater leader. He was born in a period when much of Punjab was ruled by the Sikhs under a Confederate Sarbat Khalsa system and the territory was divided among factions known as misls.

Ascension & Reign
Ranjit Singh became the misldar of the Sukerchakia Misl at the age of 18. Upon assuming power he started campaigns to expand his territory.
He began his conquests by annexing the other misls and captured Lahore from the Bhangi Misl in 1799 and later made it his capital. He then captured the rest of the Punjab.
In 1801 he united all the Sikh factions into one state and assumed the title of "Maharaja" on 12 April—the day of Baisakhi. He was 20 years old at the time. Then he set forth further expanding his territory.
He conquered the holy city of Amritsar from the Bhangi Misl ruler Mai Sukhan in 1802. He continued his conquests by capturing Kasur from the Afghan chief Qutb ud-Din in 1807.
He went to the aid of Raja Sansar Chand of Kangra in the Lesser Himalayas in 1809 against an advancing Ghurka force. After defeating the forces, he added Kangra to his empire.
In 1813, he joined a Bārakzay Afghan expedition into Kashmir but was betrayed by the Bārakzays. Nonetheless he went on to rescue Shah Shoja, the brother of the deposed Afghan king, and occupied the fort at Attock on the Indus River, southeast of Peshawar. Then he pressurized Shah Shoja to part with the famous Koh-i-noor diamond that was in his possession.
He spent several years fighting the Afghans and driving them out of the Punjab. Eventually he captured Pashtun territory including Peshawar, and in 1818, the province of Multan. He put an end to more than a hundred years of Muslim rule in Multan Area with these conquests. He also annexed Kashmir in 1819.
Ranjit Singh was a secular ruler who had tremendous respect for all religions. His armies included Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus and his commanders also hailed from different religious communities. In 1820 he began to modernize his army using several European officers to train the infantry and the artillery. The modernized army performed very well in the conquests in the North-West Frontier.
By the 1830s the British were beginning to expand their territories in India. They were intent on keeping the Sindh province for themselves and tried to make Ranjit Singh accept their plans. This was not acceptable to Ranjit Singh and he authorized an expedition led by Dogra commander Zorawar Singh that eventually extended Ranjit Singh's northern territories into Ladakh in 1834.
In 1837, the last confrontation between the Sikhs and the Afghans took place in the Battle of Jamrud. The Sikhs were building up towards crossing the Khyber Pass and the Afghan forces confronted them at Jamrud. The Afghans attempted to retake Peshawar from the invading Sikhs but were unsuccessful.
Ranjit Singh was also much feared by the British and they did not dare to try to annex his territories for as long as he was alive. He died in 1839 and the Sikh army was defeated in the First Anglo-Sikh War in 1846. By the end of the Second Anglo-Sikh War in 1849, the Punjab was annexed by the British bringing an end to the glorious Sikh Empire.
