Google joins Progcap as new investor in its $40 mn round

Established in 2017, Progcap aims to be a full-stack retailer-focused digital bank. istock
The fundraise valued the startup at $600 million, a three-fold jump from its previous valuation
BENGALURU : Google joined as a new investor in Progcap as the small and mid-size business-focused financing provider raised $40 million (around ₹308 crore) as part of its Series C funding round led by existing investors Creation Investments and Tiger Global Management.
The fundraise valued the New Delhi-based startup at $600 million, a three-fold jump from its previous valuation of $200 million.
Another existing investor, Sequoia Capital India, also participated, bringing the total Series C funding round to $70 million (around ₹539 crore).
Progcap also aims to turn operationally profitable in the coming months, co-founder Pallavi Shrivastava said in an interview on Monday.
Progcap, run by Desiderata Impact Ventures Pvt. Ltd, has raised nearly $100 million in equity funding in the last 12 months. It also recorded annualized disbursal of $1 billion.
The company plans to use the fresh capital towards product development and support current expansion efforts, it said in a statement separately.
Last October, Progcap raised $30 million as part of the Series C funding round led by Tiger Global and Creation Investments. This followed the company raising $25 million as part of its Series B investment round led by Tiger Global and Sequoia Capital in June.
In February 2021, the startup collected $1.37 million in a debt funding round led by Stride Ventures. Previously, Sequoia led a $5 million Series A round of funding into Progcap in July 2019. Others who participated in that exercise included CIBIL chairman MV Nair, Freecharge co-founder Sandeep Tandon and GrowX Ventures Fund. In April 2019, it raised $1 million in a round led by GrowX Ventures.
'We're seeing a lot of demand for alternatives in small ...
The fintech startup claims its platform is used by 700,000 retailers. It is also looking to acquire a non-banking financial company (NBFC) through acquisition to aid business growth, Shrivastava said.
"Progcap is becoming the core operating engine for all the transactions of its customers, providing them with credit and technology solutions that make their businesses more efficient," said Srivastava and another co-founder Himanshu Chandra, according to the statement.
Last year, the company appointed several senior executives to bolster its leadership team. These included Abhinav Singh, previously associate partner at McKinsey & Co., who joined the company as its chief growth officer, and Ashish Gupta, a former chief technology officer of PolicyBazaar, who leads tech and product functions at Progcap.
Established in 2017, Progcap aims to be a full-stack retailer-focused digital bank which enables capital flow across the supply chain to underserved retailers.
The company says it provides clients with easily accessible and flexible collateral-free working capital loans through its financing solution provided to retailers in tier-2, tier-3 and tier-4 locations.
Shrivastava, an alumnus of XLRI Jamshedpur, had previously worked with International Finance Corporation as the regional lead, Hinduja Group and Infosys. Chandra was earlier associated with Barclays and Standard Chartered Bank.

Project Citizens Forum: The Voice of Hong Kong
Project Citizens Forum "The Voice of Hong Kong" was successfully held on 18 May 2019. Project Citizens Foundation, toegther with The Hong Kong Institute of Humanities and Social Science Centre, jointly invited Professor Ching May Bo, Professor of History at City University of Hong Kong, Mr Calvin Poon Yuen Leung, a famous lyricist, and Mr Anthony Wong Yiu Ming, a well-known pop singer, to share their insights on the uniqueness of Cantonese culture. From the history of Cantonese culture, the development of the language to how Hong Kong's culture identity is being marginaised, the veteran speakers exchanged their views at the panel discussion. It was encouraging to see a lot of students and fans came all the way from Guangzhou to Hong Kong to support this event.
"Public Perception Survey on Hong Kong's Characteristics" Press Conference
The results of this survey show that the "history and culture" of our city was chosen by the respondents as the most valuable characteristics of Hong Kong. At the same time, "judicial independence", "international financial centre", "social justice" and "a government with public support" are also mentioned as features of high importance. In-depth analyses show that young people are less satisfied about the current condition of "fairness", "equality", "the rule of law" and "corruption-free practices" in Hong Kong.

When I was a teacher, I was frequently asked the same questions over and over.
The result was that common questions would be answered on posters I had created around the room (like an analog FAQ page).
This strategy allowed me to just stare at kids and point to the posters when they began to repeat themselves.
Probably not the warmest response, but imagine my pain. You can only tell kids what a thesis statement is so many times before you begin to feel a boiling rage.
Before I begin, though, I want to point out a realization I had as I was writing this. This story isn't about me. It's about the amazing people who have risen up in my life to move me along a path.
I heard Pharrell Williams, in an interview with Oprah, cite all the amazing people in his life who "conspired" to get him where he is today. He references a wonderful book called The Alchemist, which is a story about achieving your destiny through the seemingly random interactions with others along your way.
As I wrote my own story, I couldn't help but feel what Pharrell was talking about.
Fair warning: it is a little long. I've skipped some details in an effort to bring you key points. I know others have found a lot of value in this journey. I hope you do too.
At the start of my 7th year of teaching, I take a job at a charter school down the street from my house. We are having a baby and I want to trade in my 45-minute commute (each way) to be closer to my growing family.
I am already thinking about leaving teaching at this point.
1) Teaching was perfect for me and I needed to stay forever.
2) Teaching was crushing my soul and I needed to move on.
Since you're reading this, you know where I landed.
School starts in August. By late September, I am ready to quit.
Things have improved, but the die is cast. I am ready to leave.
Turns out the universe looks more like a black hole. This black hole goes by names like Indeed.com and Monster.com.
A word of warning: Stay away from online job boards. I'd go into detail, but that would take too long.
Just believe me when I say, if you're feeling like your current job is crushing your soul, wait until you send resumes into the void with no response…EVER.
My wife advises me to create my dream work environment. She tells me to write it all down; every detail. I think it's stupid, but I do it anyway (resistance much?). It provides amazing clarity and helps me focus on jobs I actually want.
Personal bonus: I realize my wife is amazing in ways I never knew. This is just one of many times this happens during this process.
I begin to target sales positions within tech startups. This actually proves to be fairly fruitful.
In one interview, I have a Will Ferrell from Old School moment and temporarily black out as I describe how I "sell" novels to kids everyday who don't want to read them.
Fairly confident I'll get the position, I receive a phone call a few days later telling me they hired someone with more experience.
Dejected, I begin to prepare for the new school year that is now just a few weeks away.
I promise to quit by October. Then November. Then over Christmas break.
While having our family photos taken for our annual Christmas card, our photographer (an old friend) asks if I've found a job yet.
Surprised when I tell her 'no,' she asks how that's possible, informing me of how smart and talented I am. I agree.
She tells me she's a senior partner at a small, boutique creative agency and invites me to come speak with them about some work.
She mentions something about hiring good people, reliability, and copywriting.
I have no idea what she's saying, but we set up a time for me to come in.
My friend and her agency partner throw me a copywriting job.
I have no idea what I'm doing or what the hell a copywriter is, but I keep telling myself to "fake it till I make it." Whatever the hell that means.
In the meantime, I'm Googling copywriting and reading everything I can find. Most of it is contradictory, and ultimately, confusing.
I continue to do the best I can.
We're on our way to some friends' house for a Friday night barbecue. The kids are in the back seat. The phone rings. I answer, get the news. I hang up.
She says, "Okay." (Told you she was amazing).
We take the kids out of the car and never speak another word about it until the next day.
I receive interest from my first potential client through a freelancing website (not a blackhole job board, mind you).
I'm texting her back and making a deal while I'm trying to teach a class. Note: this is not advisable. Bosses tend to frown on things like this. Fortunately, I didn't get caught.
As we leave, she tells me my rate is too low.
Bewildered, I stare at her. She tells me when I send my proposal, to increase my rate by ten more dollars per hour.
Having my faith in humanity restored, and feeling like I just won the client lottery, I get in my car and try not to scream in delight while she's still within hearing distance.
The following week, I quit teaching.
I collect a pay check through the end of June. While it feels good to know there's money still coming in, I'm also itching for the moment I can be on my own.
July 1st is the first day with no safety net.
I begin work for my first client, rewriting a website and creating a company newsletter. I'm also still doing a small amount of work for the agency that got me started.
I send an email to every person in my address book, telling him or her that I've launched a copywriting business (still un-named). Most of them are as confused by what a copywriter is as I was. I do my best to explain, but most just smile and nod.
I put together a rudimentary website, order business cards, and pick up a few small jobs from friends to build a portfolio. At least I'm savvy enough to know I need to look professional.
I go about the business of building a business. I have no idea what I'm doing, so I try everything under the sun.
Hiring an accountant and financial planner is 1) scary; 2) freeing; 3) one of the best things I've ever done.
"Networking" simply means having a personality and talking to people.
Apparently actually doing what you say you're going to do is amazing to people. Who knew?
Confidence looks different when you're trying to feed your family with your personal work.
The State of Colorado apparently runs a deal on setting up an LLC. I lucked into creating a company for $1. Seriously.
Naming a business is like naming your child. Everyone has an opinion and they like to share it. Pro tip: Just pick a name and shut up about it.
Ask lots of questions. It's the only way to learn.
Making mistakes isn't as bad as it seems. There's nothing that can't be undone.
Everyone goes on vacation in August and December. These are bad months to build a business.
I've made as much money in the first two months of 2015 as I did in the entire first six months of my business. We're not ready to move to that hut in the Maldives yet, but we're getting there.
I've been thinking a lot about how this happened. I'm not sure I have a "system" for all of it, but nothing beats an unwavering willingness to try new things.
I'm still not sure I know what I'm doing, but I'm starting to figure out that it doesn't really matter. No one else does either.
And once you can realize that – that we all are doing the best we can – you can start to lighten up on yourself a little bit.
Is there a big takeaway here? Maybe. The best I can offer up is this: Have faith.
"Faith" isn't really in my personal lexicon. Maybe there's room for that old foxhole aphorism here. I'm not sure.
But I do know it certainly feels like a lot of people "conspired" to get me here. I can't help but return to the idea of living a personal legend.

"We are very happy with the functionality of the Air Flow Safety Shut Off Valve. Having easy air flow adjustability is fantastic. If the operator needs more air flow, they simply open it up.
Our users are tickled to death with the Air Flow Safety Shut Off Valve. On airport runways, our team has experienced great success. FAA regulations state that no excess material is to be left on top—we are able to flushfill with NO overflow making our job easy.
Increase your compressed air system safety by reducing work injuries from broken air hose line whip.
Complies with OSHA Standard 1910.169.
Single piece brass construction. Not made of unsafe cheap plastic.
Air passes the piston (1) and continues through the seat (3).
The air flow, passing the piston, is slowed down by means of lengthwise grooves on the outer side of the piston.
If the flow is too high, the air cannot pass the piston quickly enough, and the piston is forced against the spring (2), towards the seat.
If the value indicated is exceeded, such as if the hose breaks, the Air Safety Shut Off Valve shuts off the air supply automatically.
An integral bleed hole allows some air to flow though. This enables the line pressure to automatically reset the Air Safety Shut Off Valve after the main line break is repaired.

Q: CPUID on multiple cores/NUMA I am working on CPU detection and general environment detection code for my hobby OS. Is there ever a case where CPUID needs to be called multiple times? That is if the system has multiple cores, does the OS need to call CPUID on each core? Same for NUMA.
Both the AMD and Intel CPUID manuals are unclear on this. There is an article on the osdev wiki that mentions calling CPUID called Detecting CPU Topology, but to my reading was not clear as to when and how many times CPUID needs to be called.

A: Since it's been almost a week and nobody has been able to answer this (probably because of the holidays), I'll attempt to answer this anyway.
I think the answer is yes. You may need to call CPUID on each core. One reason for this is that not all (even x86) systems today are homogeneous.
For example, I've read on an overclocking forum (I can't find the link) that it's possible to mix two different processor models on some dual-socket server boards. The person had a dual-socket 1366 system with two different speed processors. (and different model #s)
So in this case, calling CPUID will depend on which processor the thread was on - therefore you'll need to call it once each processor to get all the information.
In the manuals of one of my server-motherboards, it also states that you are allowed to mix processors of different models (with certain restrictions). And certainly, it's possible to mix two different steppings of the same processor model.

This reason alone (heterogeneous topology), is already reason to need to call CPUID on each core.

It's a lot of fun hauling cargo around on a bike. A bike trailer can make a bicycle more practical for transporting groceries, laundry, friends, etc. This is one of the least-expensive bike trailer designs out there, all that is needed to build a backpack-frame bike trailer is an old external-frame backpack, 18 feet of metal conduit, and some other hardware.

NEW YORK — Cheap, electric bicycles have made life a lot easier for New York City's legions of restaurant delivery workers, but the party may be over in the New Year.
Under city law, the bikes are legal to own and sell, but riding them on the street can lead to a fine of up to $500. Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio announced this fall that starting in 2018, businesses that have employees use the bikes are also subject to a fine of $100 for a first offence and $200 for each subsequent offence.
That policy will undoubtedly prove popular with many New Yorkers who have complained that the bikes, which look and handle just like regular bicycles but can reach speeds of 20 mph or more, are often operated recklessly. Lots of people have stories about close calls where they stepped out into the street, only to nearly be hit by a quick-moving bike they couldn't hear coming.
"They couldn't do their jobs without electric bikes," he said.
Advocates for alternate forms of transportation say the crackdown also doesn't make sense from an environmental or safety perspective.
Federal law allows electric bicycles that go 20 mph or less to be treated as bicycles for product safety and standards, but New York state law doesn't allow them to be registered or licensed as motorized vehicles.

After Naval Yard Shooting It's Time to End 1993 Clinton Gun Ban on Military Bases
September 16, 2013 by Guns 'n' Freedom

A gunman dressed in military apparel opened fire on military personnel and civilian workers in the Naval yard at the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command in Washington D.C. It has been reported that at least 12 people were killed in this attack at the largest of the Navy's five system commands.
You might think that military bases like the one in Washington D.C. are full of armed military men and women everywhere. But the truth is that these brave men and women of the US armed forces at the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command have been disarmed by a 1993 ban on guns at military bases. This is the same ban that enabled Nidal Hasan to shoot and kill 13 and wound 30 at Fort Hood.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton decreed that US military personnel were to surrender the Second Amendment rights that they swear an oath to support and defend. According to The Libertarian,
One of the first executive actions undertaken by then president Bill Clinton was to disarm the soldiers and employees of the nation's military bases. In the spring of 1993, President Clinton issued orders barring members of the military and the civilians who work for them from carrying their personal firearms on base, and making it prohibitively difficult for commanding officers to issue firearms to their own soldiers in the United States. Thinking himself to be providing for the security of U.S. soldiers by government means, Clinton deigned to require Military Police officers to carry weapons on the job, but their presence has been stretched increasingly thin by huge demand for military police in the country's growing number of war zones.
Thanks to President Clinton, terrorists would face more return fire if they started shooting at a local Starbucks Dunkin Doughnuts than at a military base. Even in the Fort Hood shootings it was an OFF base policewoman that shot Hasan and ended his massacre.
Until lawmakers start to see the trend of shootings in gun-free zones they will never be able to see the true tragedy of these events. And that is the fact that these shootings could have been prevented. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved in the Naval Base shooting. And even as our own President seeks to score political points in exploiting such tragedies, it should be our number one goal to make sure our military men and women are not defenseless against terrorists at home.
A Washington Times article summed it up best after the Fort Hood shootings:
Everyone wants to keep people safe – and no one denies Mr. Clinton's good intentions. The problem is that law-abiding good citizens, not criminals, are the ones who obey those laws. Bans end up disarming potential victims and not criminals. Rather than making places safe for victims, we unintentionally make them safe for the criminal – or in this case, the terrorist.
The wife of one of the soldiers shot at Fort Hood understands all too well. In an interview on CNN Monday night, Anchor John Roberts asked Mandy Foster how she felt about her husband's upcoming deployment to Afghanistan. Ms. Foster responded: "At least he's safe there and he can fire back, right?"

I was in the USAF at NORAD in the 80's … I you would have started any crap there you would have been shot dead by the many M-16 packin SP's in less than 5 seconds!
Oh wow. what was Clinton's reasoning for disarming our military again??? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of! I'm safer here in Nevada where I can open carry, without a permit, than our own military is on their own base, for crying out loud!!!!
It was not President Clinton who initiated it. It was the first President Bush who initially signed the order for the DoD. President Clinton signed a change in policy for the Army in 1993 so they could comply with the new DoD directive. I still disagree with it, but people need to do more research.
Rev. Clayton L. Blackwell says
It was done so this COULD happen in order to disarm the public. It is all a well calculated effort to put America in a military controlled police state under total governmental control. The next step is to break the US up into several smaller third world countries to end our position as a superpower. Think NWO!

Playing for your country is the pinnacle for most footballers, and it is something that is on the mind of Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Joe Lumley.
Breaking into the England squad is a difficult challenge, particularly as a goalkeeper given that the opportunities to play are more limited.
The Three Lions' current number one is Everton shot-stopper Jordan Pickford, and if he continues on top form he is likely to hold that position for many years.
England boss Gareth Southgate, though, has always been open to bringing in young players given his experience with the nation's youth ranks.
Lumley has been at QPR since 2010 when he joined their academy from Tottenham Hotspur.
The now-23-year-old has had to bide his time, but after Matt Ingram's disastrous start to the season, Lumley has become QPR's number one.
In fact, the young keeper has kept seven clean sheets in 12 matches for the Championship outfit.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Lumley admitted that he cannot help but think about breaking into the England squad.
His comments led us to ask you whether the keeper is good enough, and the majority of fans are confident that he will be representing the Three Lions one day.

ASTON MARTIN DBX 707 VS LAMBORGHINI URUS - DRAG RACE
The brand new Ason Martin DBX 707 has arrived and Aston Martin claim that it is the fastest SUV on the planet, but just how does it hold up against the mighty Lamborghini Urus in a drag race?
Aston Martin has without a doubt been around for a seriously long time. The brand was founded in 1913 and has since then unveiled some of the finest sports cars known to man. Although it has a stigma of being a part of "British engineering" they have since proven themselves and have grown to be one of the greats.
Seeing that the world has taken a serious liking to SUVs, Aston Martin has now too designed and developed an SUV offering as well as its competitors.
Aston Martin's answer to the SUV market is the top of the line DBX 707 which claims to be the fastest and most powerful SUV on the planet that you can buy from the dealership.
But that is a big claim considering what else is out there such as Lamborghini who makes an incredible SUV, the Urus. But just how well do the two rivals compare?
Well, first of all, the Aston Martin DBX 707 has an incredible 707 HP and a hypercar-like 900 Nm of torque from its 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine. It weighs in at 2,245 KG which is indeed heavier than the Lamborghini Urus, has an all-wheel drive and costs around £10,000 more than the Lamborghini Urus at £189,000.
The Lamborghini, on the other hand, makes 650 HP and 850 Nm of torque from its 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 engine. Is lighter than the Aston Martin DBX 707 at 2,220 KG, has an all-wheel-drive system and costs a slightly cheaper £179,000.
But just how well do these flagship SUVs compare in a drag race? well, let's find out!

According to the provisional results released by Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Mwirigi has won the seat of Member of Parliament for Igembe South.Vying against Jubilee Party's Joseph Miriti Mwereria in a hot campaign to the run up to the ballot, Mwirigi won garnering 39 per cent of the votes cast translating to 18,659 votes.
John Paul, an orphan has overcome great obstacles in life thanks to well wishers who even paid for his education.The 24-year-old a student currently enrolled in Chuka University, ran an efficient campaign with little to no funding. According to a source from the constituency, he wasn't a favorite in the race but his victory could be attributed to the door-to-door campaigns he did. He also campaigned using boda bodas .
Key points of his manifesto include building roads, improving water supply and investing. Though it is difficult to say what will be first on his agenda, many constituents patiently wait to see what the young changemaker will fulfil during his time in office.
Meru County also produced the youngest Member of Parliament in the 11th Parliament. Boniface Kinoti Gatobu was elected in the 2013 election at the tender age of 26.

Moscow, March 23, 2015. Dagestan Tourism Committee is representing the republic at the 22th Moscow International Exhibition "MITT / Travel and Tourism" launched on March 18 in Expocentre, a source in the committee told RIA Dagestan.
This year, Dagestan stand and all the advertising, information and souvenir products prepared for the event are devoted to the upcoming 2,000th anniversary of Russia's most ancient city Derbent. The exposition attracted attention of a large number of visitors both from Russian regions and foreign countries.
On the second day, the business program of the exhibition featured its pearl - MITT Tourist Industry Summit - attended by tourism experts including chairman of the Dagestan Tourism Committee Muslimat Halimbekova.
MITT is among the top five of the world's tourist exhibitions highly evaluated by the international community – in 2014 the exhibition assembled 2,056 exhibitors from 203 countries and regions of the world. Preliminary estimates conducted by the organizers say this years' event will attract 5-9% more visitors than a year before to amount to 40,000.
The Domestic tourism part of the show has a special role – it is presented by a separate pavilion exposition named "Russia" which brings together Russian resorts, regional governments, and tour operators involved in domestic and inbound tourism.

A survey by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), released May 29th, reported 194 medicines in clinical trials for children, 11 of which are for psychiatric disorders. Nine of the 11 are old drugs seeking approval for new indications, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia and acute bipolar disorder.
ABT 089 (2-methyl-3-(2-(S) pyrrolidinylmethoxy) pyridine) from Abbott Laboratories is one of the two new drugs under study. It is a potent, selective neuronal cholinergic channel modulator that has shown cognition-enhancing activity in several animal paradigms. Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are a complex superfamily of pentmeric ligand gated ion channels that are activated by acetylcholine. On the basis of its biological activity, ABT 089 is being investigated for its potential ability to act at the neuronal nicotinic receptors to exert beneficial effects in ADHD.
Timothy E. Wilens, M.D., and colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston are conducting the Phase I clinical trials, but are not at liberty to disclose information about them at this time.
It is commonly known that nicotine possesses beneficial pharmacological actions. Michael A. Schwartz, M.D., clinical professor of psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University, says the cholinergic system, seen as a problem in the old days, is now appreciated as another neuromodulating system like the norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin systems with broad effects on attention, alertness and specific effects on memory.
"This has particularly happened since the development of the dementia drugs, the cholinesterase inhibitors," says Schwartz. "And of course people who smoke cigarettes get alert and aroused and focused from the nicotinic effect. There's a high comorbidity between nicotine addiction and ADHD."
The manufacturers of Aricept (donepezil), Eisai Inc., are seeking an indication for treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents ages 7 to 16. Donepezil is a selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitor developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Schwartz says it is already being used for ADHD in children off-label by some clinicians.
"People have found that drugs like Aricept can sometimes help patients with ADHD, maybe more with memory than attention, but memory is a problem in ADHD, [as it relates to] organization, executive functioning," says Schwartz. "We now know that the anticholinergic drugs diminish your memory and cause a little confusion, and the drugs that promote the cholinergic system, the cholinesterase inhibitors, have the potential for increasing attention, memory and concentration and focus," Schwartz says.
Wilens and colleagues identified five case studies in the literature of adjunctive donepezil treatment of ADHD in children ages 8 to 17, all of whom demonstrated improvement.
Atomoxetine, Eli Lilly's contribution to ADHD treatment, is the other new agent this year, although by now you've heard about it so much it can hardly seem new any longer (see the January issue of The Brown University Psychopharmacology Update). Atomoxetine is a non-stimulant, selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). The new drug application has been filed with the FDA and is under review. It could be on the market shortly. It has been shown to be very effective in four placebo-controlled studies, three in children and one in adults, said Schwartz. Weight loss is a side effect in 10 to 15 percent of patients.
"This medicine originally was a depression and anxiety medication, but the manufacturer realized norepinephrine is norepinephrine, whether it's coming from release and reuptake more rapidly with stimulants or more slowly with antidepressants," says Schwartz.
Effexor XR (venlafaxine extended release), from Wyeth Laboratories, is in Phase III trials for treatment of depression in children ages 8 to 16.
"I used that even before they had started the testing, and that tells something because I am extremely conservative," says Elizabeth B. Weller, M.D., professor of child and adolescent psychiatry and pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"To me, Effexor is like cleaned-up tricyclics," Weller adds. "They have gotten rid of most of the side effects; you don't need to get scared about cardiac arrythmias and all that stuff. It's tolerated very nicely," Weller says. "I also like it for anxiety disorder and when children have comorbid conditions. ADHD is very common in the [child] population that we treat. I find it a lot more helpful than the SSRIs because they really do not help with the attentional problems of kids who have anxiety and ADHD, or depression and ADHD."
Schwartz says Effexor differs from the SSRIs in that, in addition to being a serotonin reuptake inhibitor -- as the dose increases -- it is also a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
"Many studies show that it has at least 30 percent more capability to cause remission [in adults], which is getting to wellness, than single neurotransmitter drugs," says Schwartz. "What's limited its use in depression is that it's a novel medicine. Doctors are more familiar with SSRIs. Effexor can raise blood pressure but typically only in high doses. So, it will be good to have clinical trials. And it even has some possible benefits in comorbid ADHD."
Risperdal (risperidone) from Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical is in Phase III trials for treatment of schizophrenia for adolescents. Both Schwartz and Weller express concerns about this agent.
Weller and Schwartz raised a number of issues concerning the use of risperidone to treat schizophrenia. These included the potential for increased prolactin levels at higher doses and secondary endocrinologic effects as well as weight gain secondary to increased appetite, a problem that is not unique to risperidone.
Topamax (topiramate) is indicated as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of adults and children ages 2 to 16 with partial onset seizures, or primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and in patients 2 years old and older with seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. It has been studied as a mood stabilizer to treat bipolar disorder in adults, and it is used off-label for this purpose. The manufacturer, Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical, is now seeking an indication for treatment of acute bipolar mania in pediatric patients. The compound is in Phase III trials.
Weller says she likes topiramate, although she doesn't use it as her first drug of choice because of a lack of data.
"What I like about it is that it is tolerated very nicely," she says. "When I give it to patients who haven't done well on other medications, they tell me it's tolerated much easier, and much better. They don't get a lot of side effects on it."
Weller thinks there is a "myth" that topiramate dulls cognition in adults. Schwartz disagrees that it is a myth, saying his patients feel as though "half their brain has been disconnected" and have trouble with word-finding and memory. The problem passes over a period of months, he says.
Weller has used topiramate with children and adolescents with bipolar, but very sparsely.
"I have [used it with] kids or adolescents who have not responded to lithium, if Depakote and Tegretol hasn't worked, I have given topiramate. Also I have given it to the children of two adult patients who had not responded to anything but topiramate -- then it makes all the sense. Luckily, both of the kids did well on it, and I haven't seen any cognitive changes. If anything their schoolwork has gotten better," she says.
Other drugs in clinical trials for children and/or adolescents are Serzone (nefazodone) for depression; Zoloft (sertraline) for depression and PTSD; Ritalin QD (methylphenidate) for ADHD; Methypatch (methylphenidate) for ADHD; and, Remeron (mirtazapine) for depression.

Tbh i don't think its a bad deal, get an agile conversion and u'll be under 60k for a 7.3 diesel with low miles.
The guy lives close to me, however I have never met the owner. I walked by it over the weekend and took a quick look. Not a big issue, however it severely needs tires as they all looked dried out and cracked.
Looks like a fun rig!
You would think that he would provide more pics when trying to sell it for $40k. I have seen it on craigslist and ebay. It was on ebay and only got bid to about $20k.

Old Navy won't keep women's plus-size clothing in a separate section
Nathaniel Meyersohn, CNN Business
Published at 11:43 am, August 18, 2021
(CNN) — Old Navy will end its practice of separate plus-size sections for women's clothing in stores and online and begin offering all of its women's apparel in sizes 0 to 30.
The move comes as online fashion brands such as Eloquii, Dia & Co., Elvi and Torrid gain success targeting younger shoppers looking for a more inclusive range of clothing sizes than retailers have offered in the past. Traditional retailers such as Target, Nike and Nordstrom have also broadened their size options. Part of that is because Lane Bryant, a specialty retailer for plus-size styles, has closed more than 200 stores in recent years, opening up a void in the market.
At Old Navy's 1,200 shops, all of its women's offerings starting Friday will be showcased together, along with new mannequins throughout the store in sizes four, 12 and 18. Signs will highlight the changes, and prices will be the same across sizes.
Online, Old Navy's women's and women's plus-size collections will be merged together in one navigation menu and Old Navy will use models in sizes four, 12 and 18.
Old Navy, owned by Gap, has carried plus-size clothing sizes of 16 and above since 2004 and in 2018 introduced specialized plus shops within 75 stores. A year later, the company began testing concept stores with all of its merchandise grouped together.
Selling plus-size clothing hasn't always gone smoothly for Old Navy, however. In 2014, the brand faced criticism for charging higher prices for women's plus-size jeans than smaller-size jeans, but not doing the same in men's jeans. A Change.org petition garnered close to 100,000 supporters to end Old Navy's "discriminatory pricing practices."
Alison Partridge Stickney, head of women's merchandising at Old Navy, said in an interview that the latest changes were the result of feedback from hundreds of customers who described a "dismal" and "excluded" experience of shopping in back sections of retail stores to find their size. Old Navy conducted focus groups with women shopping for extended sizes and toured stores with customers.
"This is a big change in the way we work," she said. "We had a team that managed our women's business and a team that managed our plus business. So that meant merchandising, design, production."
To offer all of its women's clothing together, Old Navy created a single team managing the entire division.
The move makes financial sense for Old Navy, Stickney said, and "is one of the major pieces of the puzzle" to hit the brand's goal of reaching $10 billion in annual sales by 2023, up from $7.5 billion in 2020.
Old Navy said that searches for "plus" on its websites were up 63% over the past year and pointed to data from NPD Group showing that the women's plus-size apparel market was $20.4 billion in June.
"It is especially lucrative for a retailer like Old Navy which has a broad spectrum of consumers of all shapes and body types," said Neil Saunders, managing director at GlobalData Retail, in an email. "For Old Navy and other mainstream players, I think they see an opportunity for growth in a part of the market that they don't serve too well."
The overhaul comes with challenges, though.
Adding sizes increases manufacturing complexity and costs for retailers, said Saunders. More fabric is used when producing extended sizes and additional design and fabrication expenses can come into play during the process. Women's clothing brand Loft, for example, moved into plus-size clothing three years ago, but recently reversed course "due to ongoing business challenges," the company said in March.
To be able to keep prices down and the same across sizes, retailers need to be purchasing significant volumes of clothing, said Elizabeth Shobert, director of marketing and digital strategy at fashion analytics company StyleSage.
"It certainly helps to have a healthy business and scale to do sizing properly," she said.

My name is Jeremiah Kane, most people call me Jerry. He was a young man who set out to become a computer scientist and fought for his degree, only to despise the industry. During this journey he started a part time job that would lead him to his current path. After attaining an opportunity to work as a lot attendant at a McLaren dealership he fought his way into the marketing team where his first mentor would give him the opportunity to use professional camera equipment and an understanding of light. Upon being promoted to a non creative position, Jerry got fat and lazy wearing a suit, tie, and shaving everyday. Jerry was no longer a race car driver.
Jerry spent the next year doing a 7,000 mile cross country road trip in a 94 Saab Turbo he bought in LA for $700. Upon arriving home outside of Philadelphia, Pa, he was broke and tasting the savory flavors of credit card debt. To satisfy said hunger Jerry took work at an I.T. Company for a year, It was a dreadful year. Working in a room with no windows and starting at 4 screens for 8 hours a day is no way for a man or woman to live. Fat and Depressed Jerry has entered the chat. However, an opportunity arose while he was patiently and uncomfortably working away.
The chance to shoot a music festival, The Peach Music Festival, with a media and marketing team no less! Being a rookie festival photog left questions though and stipulations. Do well you'll be hired for future work with the company and get paid. Do poorly and you get to go to a music festival for free at the least. Catch 22, I.T. job said Jerry can't take off Friday cause you're the new guy and it's too last minute. Well Jerry didn't really like this job that much and he missed the Sun. Jerry left work that day and never went back.
That was 2017, since then Jerry crushed said festival and subsequently many more along with many concerts, weddings, road trips. Capturing many smiles, peace signs, and moments throughout the world.

None of these claims is backed up by solid science. Apple cider vinegar does not kill the sources of acne in the pore, and it's only minimally effective as an exfoliant for surface skin cells. More important, apple cider vinegar can sensitise skin, making acne worse. If you're looking to exfoliate dead skin cells, there are more effective and far gentler ways to do it.
Essential oils—Lavender oil, citrus oils, and mint-derived oils smell lovely, but their effect on skin is anything but. All of them can sensitise skin, and when skin's surface is aggravated, it can start a chain reaction that makes oily skin worse, possibly triggering more breakouts. You can read more about sensitising ingredients and the issues they cause for skin here, where we also provide a more extensive list of oils to avoid.
In addition to our products, one of the missions of Paula's Choice Skincare has been, and always will be, to provide consumers with well-researched advice.

Almost done with week 2 of the 2009-2010 school year. Bedtimes are established, lunchboxes are being toted, daily reports from daycare are being received, and hey, we even have our first ear infection of the year (Jr, this time). We are up an running!!
Was PBS Kids in the Park just two months ago? Really?
It's amazing how fast we can establish a routine around these parts. It almost feels like we never stopped leaving the house at 7:30 in the morning. It almost feels like summer vacation never happened.
That we didn't eat 236 Flav-R-Ice pops this summer.
That we didn't spend a fun week on Boston's South Shore.
That we didn't spend days at the pool, the park, and the library.
That we had days where we didn't get dressed until noon.
That we didn't watch fireworks. Or see sand dunes.
But we did. It's a good thing I blogged about most of it.
Word UP! Sigh. How quickly it all fades, but glad you're into the routine. Although I was hoping you'd make it at least a month before the first illness of the school year reared its ugly head.
Maybe you won't need to take off a day from work for a few months yet… Knock on wood.


The cornerstone of President Hassan Rouhani's mandate has been the reintegration of Iran into global economic and political platforms. His tenure has so far focused on reaching a nuclear deal that rolls back sanctions, reaping the economic dividends from that deal and on distancing Iran from its pariah status. Tehran has so far used the positive momentum following the nuclear talks to re-engage with Europe after a period of political hiatus and to deepen its pre-existing economic ties with its neighbors in Russia and Asia. Now, a year after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran has increased its oil exports close to their 2011 pre-sanctions level and begun to put in place deals with a range of international investors. However, Iran has been disappointed with the slow pace at which preliminary agreements put in place with Europe over the past year have moved forward. In this light, and given Iran's immediate and strategic priority to boost its economy and create job growth, Tehran is hedging its bets between Europe and the big Asian economies.
Rouhani's election and the process of diplomacy over the nuclear issue created the political space needed for Europe to begin a détente process with Iran. Over the past three years, foreign ministers from almost all E.U. members states have visited Iran, accompanied by trade ministers or large business delegations. Just days after the JCPOA entered implementation day in January of 2016 and sanctions were eased, Rouhani visited Italy and France, marking the first official European visit by an Iranian president in over fifteen years. During these visits, Iran signed a range of political, cultural, and high profile trade deals to signal that Iran is back in business. In Italy, the Iranian delegation signed deals involving the mining, shipbuilding, energy and infrastructure sectors totaling roughly $18.4 billion. During Rouhani's visit to France, Iran agreed on more than 20 contracts with French companies estimated to be worth over $40 billion in the energy, auto and aviation sectors. The most publicized deal was one reached between Iran and Airbus for the sale of 118 planes worth $27 billion. Shortly after, the Greek and Italian Prime Ministers became the first Western leaders to visit Iran in over a decade. During the visit, Italy announced it was extending a €5 billion credit line to facilitate Italian trade with Iran. This was followed in April by a visit to Tehran by the E.U. High Representative Federica Mogherini and seven E.U. Commissioners to start a formalized and structured dialogue between the E.U. and Iran. Stacks of preliminary contracts have been signed between Iran and Europe, ranging from small to major deals. So far, though, many of these, including the Airbus deal, have been unable to move forward primarily due to problems with securing necessary banking and financial support or the necessary U.S. Treasury OFAC authorization. The large European financial institutions needed to transact such volumes of business are either unwilling (due to a mix of political risk in doing business with Iran and the perceived unpredictability of future U.S. sanctions on Iran), or unable (given their high exposure to the U.S. market and risk of falling foul of U.S. primary sanctions) to do so. There is a growing perception amongst Iran's political and economic leaders that Europe has been overcautious and slow at re-entering the Iranian market to regain its place as the top trade partner. The Rouhani administration wishes to allow more time to test a European comeback, but simultaneously the government has welcomed greater investment from the likes of Russia, China, India and South Korea, countries that have shown both strong interest and a greater ability to enlarge their presence in the Iranian market.
Iran has long been doing business with Asian countries; even throughout sanctions, many Asian companies were given special exemption by the U.S. Treasury to continue dealings with Iran, particularly to meet their energy needs. China perhaps profited the most during the decade long sanctions on Iran's nuclear program. During this period, China overtook Europe as Iran's top trading partner with roughly $52 billion worth of trade in 2014. In January 2016, President Xi Jinping was the second P5 member, after the Russian President, to visit Tehran specifically to ensure that China remained a frontrunner in the Iranian economy. Xi and Rouhani agreed on a 25-year roadmap for developing relations between their nations, including 17 agreements focused on energy and infrastructure. Based on this, they estimated that bilateral trade would rise to $600 billion in the next decade. Iran is assured that China has both the financial capacity to invest in Iran and the need for Iranian energy resources. While China also depends on Saudi Arabia for its oil (and indeed Xi's visit to Iran marked the final leg of his Middle East tour), Iran has an added advantage given its geographical positioning, which makes it an important player in China's One Belt One Road initiative.
South Korea has also re-entered the Iranian market in a big way. During a visit by President Park Geun-hye to Tehran in May, the two countries agreed on a financial package pledge by South Korea to cover deals with Iran worth an estimated $25 billion. Iran is expected to plan for LNG exports to South Korea (having already signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect in May).
Another significant and emerging economic partner for Iran is India. During Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Tehran in May, a tripartite deal was reached between India, Iran and Afghanistan for the construction of Chabahar port in southern Iran. Under this deal, India has agreed to contribute $500 million to finance the development and pledged to invest $16 billion in a free trade zone around the port. The deal also sets in motion a transit agreement for new railroads and roads connecting Chabahar to Afghanistan, with the objective of creating direct trade routes connecting India to Central Asia. If these agreements were implemented, it would enable India to bypass Pakistan's rival Gwadar port when transiting goods to landlocked Afghanistan. In April, India's energy minister signed contracts for developing Iran's Farzad-B gas field and increasing export of Iranian oil to India. This deal in effect mitigates some of the profit Iran has lost as a consequence of a largely failed "peace pipeline" agreement with Pakistan, one intended to create a transit route for export of Iranian gas to Pakistan. Discussions for this project began in 1994, and various complications have delayed the completion of the Pakistani segments. While Pakistan is a significant economy in Asia, it carries more geostrategic than economic importance for Iran, as signified in Rouhani's official visit to Pakistan, where the roadmap for cooperation focused more on security issues. Another important deal in which India plays a key role for Iran, and which is perhaps the biggest game-changer for regional trade, will be the North-South Corridor project, connecting St. Petersburg to Mumbai, with Iran as the transit hub. This development has been underway for a number of years and partly stalled when Iran came under nuclear related sanctions. Completion of this project is estimated in the next five years and will provide Russia with access to the sea via the Persian and Omani Gulf. This reduces the need to carry goods via the expensive Suez Canal and is estimated to cut cargo transport times in the region by 50 percent. Once complete, the corridor links Russia, India, Iran and Central Asia and will carry with it huge geopolitical ramifications.
Iran, like the United States, has entered a presidential election year in which the nuclear deal will become one of the litmus tests for judging candidates. The stakes are high for Rouhani, who is expected to stand for re-election in Spring 2017. During his previous election campaign, he prioritized economic growth for Iran and promised Iranians an end to sanctions and isolation in addition to reintegrating the country into the global political and commercial platforms. In the run-up to the presidential race, Rouhani will be judged first and foremost on his record of delivery on the economy. His administration has targeted European trade and investment as a major part of its plans for Iran's economic revitalisation. Iran always recognized the growing technological advantage of Western goods, but the period of sanctions provided clarity that Iran's most profitable industries could not achieve their full potential with Russian or Chinese investment. Over the summer, Iran will focus its political weight on resolving the existing deadlocks for access to global financial networks and to find pathways to execute the high profile deals it has negotiated with European companies. At the same time, Iran is increasing efforts to update its banking sector with assistance from the International Monetary Fund. However, if European companies continue to face hurdles in re-entering the Iranian market, it seems unlikely that Tehran can look to Europe for an immediate economic boost. Therefore, the Rouhani administration has pragmatically hedged its bets with Asian countries, notably China, India and South Korea, which may prove to have greater economic maneuverability for trade and investment with Iran.
