Tax Advisor? I need to invest Rs 25000/- in tax saving schemes?
I am a software developer. Kindly suggest me some investment options wherein this amount is exempted from taxable income. Also, after investment the income arising out of the same is also relieved from tax (it is **not mandatory** requirement).
I have already invested in PPF and NSC and have taken LIC policies of long terms. I am looking for making investment wherein the amount is not locked for a longer duration and also at the maturity the tax burden should be minmum. I am not interested in making investment to equity market so please dont suggest me MFs which purely invest in equity market. Mutual fund investing in other than equity market yielding moderate rate of returns (somewhere around 10%-12%) would do.
If you have any other suggestion, kindly share it with me so that it helps me in making decisions.
Donate to any orphanage —-you can save Tax!!!
with your kind of requirements, i would suggest investing in tax saving debt- like the IDBI Suvidha tax gain. 8% return, 5 years lock in, taxable. this is assuming you dont want to put any further amounts in NSC, PPF or ELSS( tax saving MFs). infrastructure funds are really not giving the returns as of now- there is no use investing in them.
a word of advice though. had i been in your place, i would have waited for the market to cool 0ff slightly and parked the 25 grands in a tax saving mutual fund to get higher returns. the risk is there, but i have full faith that the return in 3 years from these funds will beat the return from debt or any other source even after tax.
Dear why dont you take a house building loan.
because principle amount which you will pay will come in 80ccc which will help you to touch 100000 cap.
And the interest paid will be deducted from your income according to the section 24.
Elsu you can invest in 3 years MF also which will give you desired return.
Else go for insurance for 3 years premium of Rs 25000.00 at the end of 4th year you can take it out.
I am not telling you to invest in PPF because of the lockin.
You can invest in government securities also which will give you return of 8%.
Thats all you have to reach 100000 cap.
Keeping in mind your requirements, the best possible solution for you is you have to deposit the amount in a Nationalised Bank in a fixed deposit- lock in 5 yrs & taxable int – 8 to 10% . Pls make sure to ask them that the FD qualifies for deduction under section "80 C".
Invest Rs.1,00,000/- in SBI Magnum Taxgain Fund.
Acording to me insurance with LIC different plans will be beneficial for you.

Traditional "Fetch" is overrated in the mind of my toddler. Why would you want to throw the ball and just stand there and wait for the dog to return it to you? It's so much more fun to play it this way, don't you think?

Song You Need to Know: FIERO, 'Coupe'
The US duo pair stellar, intimate instrumentation with the visuals of director Collin Erie to create something truly immersive.

Song You Need to Know: Kav Temperley, 'Machines of Love and Grace'
More than a year after it was first introduced into the world, US duo FIERO have shared the mesmerising video for their single "Coupe".
Originally released as a single in July of 2020 and later included on their Reunion EP, "Coupe" is a stunning moment of power for the US duo, comprising Los Angeles-based Kelsey Bulkin (previously of Made In Heights) and Nashville-based Joseph Bogan.
While the EP itself was described as being both "stunning and intimate" by one source, it's a moving collection of work that culminates with the eclectic "Coupe". Quietly powerful and armed with brief touches of iconic outfits such as Air, it's a slick track which has now received some accompanying visuals thanks to a collaboration with director Collin Erie.
An intimate visual pairing which sees FIERO performing against a limitless background as their movements shift in energy along with the song's progression, it's a truly fitting pairing for a track such as this, and one that needs to be see to be believed.
"Collin and I have known each other since we were 11 though we've never worked together on anything before, I've always wanted to," Bulkin says of the collaboration. When Joseph and I made the decision to shoot a video for Coupe I knew I wanted Collin behind the camera. It all lined up."
"We wanted to play with stillness so you have these long, slow shots of Kelsey singing in a dark limitless space during the first half of the video shifting to faster movements as the song's energy lifts," adds Bogan. "Capturing a warm, classic feel was really important to us so shooting on 16mm felt like the right choice. We also had total trust in Collin which allowed us to be completely free while shooting."
FIERO's "Coupe" is out now on their Reunion EP.

Lovely music
This is soothing, calming music that is appreciated for reflection, meditation, mental/emotional preparation for sleep, reducing anxiety, making a prayerful or thoughtful environment, perhaps for creative processes such as writing or painting, massage or healing meditations. It is very effective for calming the restless spirit and agitated mind - a common state of being these days! Some "new age" music can have jarring moments that disrupt a calm moment, but this music is serene and calming throughout and reflects the artist's respect for the process of inviting peace and calm to the mind and spirit. Truly lovely music.
Claire Gravel
Mindfulness journey
As someone who practices daily mindfulness for relaxation, I can recommend this album in it's entirety to anyone who want to enjoy the moment to moment unfolding of the soundscape Michele creates. Just close your eyes and be swept away into a tranquil state of relaxation, by listening to the gentle ebb and flow of beautiful music, interesting sounds, and the illusion of angelic voices. This combination captures the attention, easing the process of staying anchored in the present moment.

Michele Ippolito's debut recording, Mystic Moods, came seemingly out of nowhere in 2005 and garnered impressive reviews, including the following praise from me; "There is a rich emotional resonance permeating all the pieces on Mystic Moods despite the presence of so many overt electronic components in the music…Michele Ippolito's debut CD is one of the best first efforts I have heard in years. It's near impossible to believe that she is a newcomer." About the only knock on her first recording was its short length of thirty minutes. In The Clouds clocks in at twice that in duration and, like Mystic Moods, it's filled to the brim with soothing lush electronic soundscapes that wrap around the listener like a feather-light down comforter. This CD would make an ideal soundtrack for watching the sun set amongst a sea of clouds, the sky going from blue to gold to purple and eventually to smooth velvety darkness with pinpricks of stars dotting the inky black sky.
Some reviews mentioned a palpable and recognizable similarity to Liquid Mind's music present on Mystic Moods. On first listen to In The Clouds, one might be tempted to repeat that assertion, but just as I stated in my Mystic Moods review, there are plenty of subtle and even not so subtle differences coursing through Ippolito's music which distinguishes it from Chuck Wild's (Liquid Mind). In The Clouds actually hews closer to a blend of new age and classic spacemusic, while the Liquid Mind series has, in more recent years, featured a strong neo-classical element (more sampled orchestral instruments, such as solo woodwinds).
As far as comparisons go, the track "On Skylark's Wings" reminds me of Jon Mark's Asia Journey, owing not just to the synthesizers used but also a hint of Asian motifs via plucked strings. "Dreamstar," the next song on In The Clouds, brings to mind Robert Haig Coxon's The Inner Voyage with its soothing flowing melody played on a variety of keyboards and buoyed by haunting angelic chorals. There is also a hint of Llewellyn scattered in amongst some tracks, such as "Reflections," although the almost omnipresent abundance of chorals makes the comparison somewhat tenuous, I admit. Yet another comparison (which I pointed out in my Mystic Moods review) is with Larry Kucharz, but Ippolito takes much less of a minimalist approach than Kucharz does, preferring to keep the music flowing non-stop on each track.
Ippolito also introduces some new wrinkles on In The Clouds, such as the lilting flute on "Horizon" (this elicits yet another comparison, that being to English artist Mike Simmons, who frequently blended layers of keyboards with sampled wind instruments). "Celestial Voices," likewise, sounds "new" to me with delicate plucked harp joined by high pitched chorals and not as many other synthesizers in the mix as on other cuts.
The variety that becomes evident as one delves deeper into the CD is a sure sign that Ippolito is maturing and growing as an artist. While there can be little denying that In The Clouds is cut from the same cloth as Mystic Moods, that statement could be made about many artists in this genre (i.e. albums frequently contain an artist's musical "signature"). Still, when I listened on headphones, I was surprised by just how (a) "new" and (b) varied the music on this recording is. Obviously, if you play it in the background and very softly, you may not hear the same degree of change that I do.
The whole issue of "new" versus "the same" not withstanding, what In The Clouds does contain, with out a doubt, is a collection of peaceful calming electronic new age music pieces, a sixty-minute musical tonic for de-stressing from the insanity that most of our day-to-day lives have become. Michele Ippolito proves that she is no one-hit wonder with this strong and accomplished sophomore effort. Solidly recommended.

What a wonderful and remarkable album!!!
To be lying in a lush, green field looking up at light clouds on a sunny day is for many the very idea of relaxation. When looking up you are experiencing a powerful atonement while the troubles of everyday seem unimportant and small. Many will also have fond memories of such carefree cloud gazing from their early childhood.
But sadly there are not many times in grown-up life you are able to throw everything aside and just stretch out in a field and do nothing but looking up. Even in your holidays you will find yourself constantly on the move, even when the idea was to stay still and relax.
This is where Michele Ippolito's new album In The Clouds has something profound to offer. This one hour long album successfully recreates the very atmosphere of looking up and imagining actually being in and among the clouds. Ippolito's second album (first being Mystic Moods from 2005) strikes a perfect balance of lightness and vastness; it is not too bright and it is not too cold either.
Simplicity is a keyword here. I find Michele Ippolito's arrangement to be tasteful and very well done. I must admit that I am a fan of analogue synths, and Ippolito's is using some fine choir and string synth banks – but it must be said that some listeners might find the sound to be a bit dated. But even if you fall under this category, give it a chance because the album's true quality lies in the gentle ambient melodies. Michele Ippolito is classically trained on piano and this can easily be heard in the flute, harp and string melodies, which for some reason reminds me of classical music.
In The Clouds strikes a perfect balance of lightness and vastness; it is not too bright and it is not too cold either.
The atmosphere is very much the same throughout the album, but on some parts have a more detached and cold feel, while other parts are considerably brighter – just like a day in the field. After all, the sky is constantly changing. It is hard for me to select one or two favorite tracks because they are all connected, but I absolutely love the colorful second track On Skylark's Wings.
Other reviewers have compared Ippolito to Chuck Wild's massively popular Liquid Mind project. I think that is a good comparison, and Wild's fans will feel right at home here. But Ippolito has managed to create an album that just might be a little lighter and less complex – all in a good way.
For this In The Clouds has been nominated for the 2009 Zone Music Reporter Awards in two categories. After all, looking at the clouds is perhaps the most relaxing thing you can do.
In The Clouds is simply a perfect album if you need something from a 5 minute to a 1 hour timeout. If you give yourself just a small dose of this before a stressful business meeting or a large family gathering, you will for sure find back to that priceless inner calm you felt as a child when you were cloud gazing in a green field. Anything that can give such an effect must be considered a gift to the listener.

What songs is your heart singing?
What memories is your heart longing for?
This music is a precious remedy in a human's mad world. It arouses the spirit and harmonizes it. It lifts it above the everyday worries and gives the listener a long awaited space. You can easily stay in the endless cosmos for a long time. And this Universe is you. The present-day society tends to collapse your inner world in order to more easily manage your consciousness and behavior because it needs obedient slaves. The music of Michele Ippolito is a convenient possibility to free yourself.
Her long awaited album "In The Clouds" is the artist's second release. Michele Ippolito continues to compose celestial harmonies which create a peaceful state of mind and soul. Her music is perfectly suited for various healing techniques and meditation. Delicate ambient textures very gently support your mind in tranquility helping to realize the sources of your anxieties and sadness.
The music of Michele Ippolito is good for every day life as well as for very special moments of your life.

To Lofty Heights
Once in a while an artist puts forth a quality album and it reminds me of why I started listening to the genre in the first place. Michele Ippolito's new release In the Clouds is such a work. It is blending of electronic, New Age and a bit of ambient music and every song is deliciously thought provoking and peace rendering. From the first note to the last, the lightness of being is freed over and over again unfettering the spirit to reflect, relax and refresh.
In the tune Sunrising I could see the first rose-pink glow of the daystar and feel the simultaneous warmth. I knew that soon my day would be bathed in the light of life. Every second was fresh and the moment held possibilities. Michele's music is uplifting and bright as layer upon layer of darkness gives way to the sunlight hours.
Dreamstar is a very delicate song. The sighing of sound is ever so gently mixed with flowing waves of shimmering reverberation. It is as if the sonic vibrations stretch out a gossamer hand and I grasp it to be pulled along with the music. I feel the spirit floating away to an ephemeral destination that only a free spirit can know.
Horizon is one of my favorites on In The Clouds. It has whispering waves of sound in the music. Angel voices, almost imperceptible sing softly. The dominant voice of the flute lends a mellow, almost Celtic tone to an already beautiful, ambient foray along the boundaries of human perspective. Michele's music encourages me to look beyond the horizon, no matter how far, to see another side of my dreams.
Mixed with low vibrations Atmospheric is a rather heady tune with a surrealistic melody. As the music unfurled in the background I felt weightless, without the burden of corporal hindrances and I could feel the ascension of the soul up beyond my own imagination. Is this what it is like to be out of the body?
Celestial Voices is an eponymous tune that seems to drift on forever. It has an insubstantial quality that suggests voices floating up into the heavens and echoing until they reach the end of the universe. You may or may not believe in helpful celestial beings, but there you have it. Somehow, Michele has discovered what they sound like in a state of bliss and captured the feeling for all to enjoy.
Finally the title tune, In The Clouds, with its throaty sound and echoing melody closes the album. The tune centered on a familiar phrase and it calmed me without my putting too much thought into it. I just surrendered to the music and it rewarded me with tranquility. The music was layered in blue skies and white puffy clouds until it reached the upper atmosphere and then the stars were there waiting for me like old friends. The known constellations welcomed me with their pleasing configurations and fantastic anthologies.
The music of Michele Ippolito never fails to deliver peace. The eleven songs on the album flow into one another almost seamlessly. It is one continuous journey in the realms of quietude on a road paved with serene music. I recommend this album to all who love pure New Age and ambient music.

How to get paid by your energy supplier to use less electricity
The National Grid's scheme to reduce pressure on supplies could earn some households money back on their energy usage.
By James Delaney
Coal power plants on standby as blackout prevention scheme to go live
Power blackout prevention scheme to go live after energy alert
Some households with smart meters could receive money back on their energy bills if they halt their electricity usage for an hour on Monday evening.
The National Grid will activate the "demand flexibility service (DFS)" for the first time – allowing it to access additional resources when national demand is at its highest during winter spikes.
The scheme – which will be operated by suppliers including EDF and Octopus energy – allows homes signed up to earn £3 for every unit or kilowatt hour (kWh) saved by turning off appliances between 5pm and 6pm.
It was initially trialled by Octopus on November 1, when 100,000 customers with smart meters took part in the successful test.
Those signed up could save up to £100 over the course of the winter.
Why is it happening?
The National Grid's Electricity System Operator (ESO) said schemes like the DFS are "likely to become a major feature of the market in years to come".
It comes in the wake of pressure on supplies due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which suppliers blame for skyrocketing costs.
To combat the threat of a sudden drop in service, and to avoid the ESO having to deploy costly and unsustainable emergency generators, the DFS aims to take the pressure off the grid during peak times.
A total of 26 suppliers will be taking part in the scheme – which is scheduled to run until March of this year.
Customers are notified the day before so that they can decide whether or not to opt in, but only those with smart meters can do so.
This is because energy companies have to assess each household's usage every 30 minutes to get an accurate reading.
The sessions will only last for around an hour – usually taking place at some point between 4pm and 7pm – and will require a reduction normal energy consumption by around 30%.
That means avoiding the use of washing machines and dishwashers alongside more energy-intensive appliances.
However, light bulbs and televisions use far less energy.
The Grid will then total up homes' energy savings and redistribute it based on how much has been saved.
There is no minimum and maximum amount, but the more energy you use, the less money you receive.
Those interested in taking part in future sessions should contact their supplier.
Will this affect my supply if I am not signed up?
The ESO said there is no threat to normal supplies, but did not rule out more intense "live events," lasting three or four hours, being added in the future.
Three-hour strategic blackouts could also be scheduled to help manage supply, but these haven't been needed yet.
The Grid's chief executive Chris O'Shea said: "The electricity grid is facing increased pressure and smart technology plays a key role in managing peak demand – reducing consumption has the added benefit of helping consumers save on their energy bills.
"We'll be taking learnings from this stage with the aim of using our scale to roll out to our wider customer base."

Foods High in Purines
Reviewed by Mahammad Juber, MD on November 29, 2022
Why You Should Eat Less Purines
Foods with Purine
Low-Purine Alternatives
Purines are one of the most common chemical compounds on the planet. There are two kinds of purines: endogenous and exogenous. Exogenous purines are absorbed by the body through the foods that you eat, whereas, endogenous purines are made directly by the body itself.
Uric acid forms when purines are broken down in the digestive system. Eating too many purines can cause a buildup of uric acid in the body. If uric acid remains in the body for too long, it can crystallize and cause a number of health risks. Therefore, it's important to moderate the number of purines that you consume.
Your body successfully digests and expels most purines without difficulty, however, this isn't always the case. If your digestive system isn't able to fully process purines, or if you eat too many purines regularly, you may experience excess amounts of uric acid in your body. A number of health risks may arise if either occurs, such as:
Increased Diabetes Risk
Excessive purine intake can lead to hyperuricemia, a condition caused when there's too much uric acid in the bloodstream. Researchers have found that high uric acid levels in the body are correlated with an increased risk of diabetes.
Too many purines in the body can cause uric acid in the kidneys to crystallize and harden, resulting in kidney stones. Serious cases of kidney stones can be quite painful and may even need surgical intervention to eliminate entirely.
Arthritis and Gout
Gout is a specific kind of arthritis caused by deposits of uric acid crystals that accumulate in the joints, often around elbows, knees, or hands. Gout inflammation can produce serious discomfort and should be treated by a doctor when there's a flare-up.
Purines are prevalent in nature and part of a normal diet, however, depending on your diet, you may be consuming too many. If you're predisposed to hyperuricemia or any related health risks, you may want to consider moderating your purine intake or seek alternative food options. Here are 4 foods with high purine levels that you should avoid:
1. Organ Meats
Although a good source of nutrition in other contexts, organ meats are notably high in purines and should be avoided by anyone looking to eat a more gout-friendly diet.
2. Alcohol
Different kinds of alcohol have varying levels of purines. Many people with gout seek out low-purine alcoholic beverages like spirits. Beer is especially high in purines and has been found to increase uric acid levels when consumed regularly.
3. Seafood
Sardines and anchovies have some of the highest levels of purines out of the various kinds of fish..
4. Sweetened Beverages
Multiple studies have established a link between hyperuricemia, gout, and similar conditions, with excess consumption of sugar. Purines found in high-fructose corn syrup, in particular, are correlated with increased crystal deposits and their associated symptoms.
If you're suffering from gout or other purine related health complications, your doctor may recommend a low-purine diet. The following foods are low in purines:
Nuts and legumes
Any type of fruit
Vegetables (excluding asparagus, cauliflower, spinach, mushrooms, and green peas)
Crab, salmon, and herring
You may want to consider regularly eating fruits like oranges and cherries, which are reported to reduce inflammation caused by uric acid.

For my first post, I thought I'd give you a chance to get to know me a bit better, so I'm doing the "Get to Know Me" tag. I've picked 25 questions that I think best reflect me, and I hope it gives you guys a better insight into my life.
I was born in Canada, but my parents and family background is from Trinidad & Tobago.
I actually have 2 middle names – Linda and Brittney.
I am a petite girl, standing at only 5'4".
4. Are you single or in a relationship?
I am engaged, getting married this October!
5. What is your job/career?
I am a scientist, and actually just graduated from my PhD in Molecular Science.
Yes, I have one sister who is 2 and a half years older than me.
One of my favourite childhood memories is every winter, during the first heavy snowfall of the year my dad and I would go for a walk in the snow. I loved seeing the fresh snow sparkling in the moonlight, it always seemed so magical to me.
Fuchsia is my favourite colour, although bright green and red are also pretty high up on my list.
9. What is your favourite song at the moment?
Its so hard to choose just one favourite. I am obsessed with anything by The Weeknd and Adele, but if I had to choose only one song at the moment it would be The Weeknd ft. Daft Punk – I Feel It Coming.
10. What is your favourite holiday?
Christmas hands down. I especially love cuddling up with a blanket, hot chocolate, and watching holiday movies every night leading up to Christmas.
This is a tie between books from complete opposite genres. First, I've been obsessed with all things Harry Potter since I was in grade 4 and my teacher read us the first book. J.K. Rowling is hands down one of my favourite writers of all time. Second, anything by Nicholas Sparks. I am such a sucker for a good love story, and he writes the ultimate love stories that tug at my heartstrings.
12. What is your favourite restaurant?
I don't think I can pick just one – if you know me well, then you know that I love all foods. But if I had to pick my top 2, then right now I would say Turtle Jacks (gotta love that blackened chicken) and Scaddabush (their fresh mozzarella hits the spot every time).
13. What is your favourite store?
My favourite store to shop at is Dynamite.
My fashion style is constantly changing, and I would say I'm pretty diverse but still pretty simple. It's really a day-to-day thing with me where some days I'm into the fitness look and live in running shoes, leggings, and a t-shirt, whereas other days I feel like looking really put together and am all about looking a bit more glam.
Tea hands down. I am not a coffee person by any means.
Neither – I am not at all an animal person.
Yes, I have fish and a quaker parrot.
Mac. I switched over to a Mac 2 years ago and would never go back to a PC now.
19. What type of phone do you have?
I currently have an Android, although I previously had an iPhone and now regret my choice to switch. I will definitely be making the switch back to an iPhone in the future.
20. Have you been out of the country?
I live in Canada, and yes I have been to different states in the U.S. multiple times and also travel to Trinidad almost every year.
21. What country would you love to visit?
It's so hard to pick just one, since I really want to travel all over the world. Definitely at the top of my list right now is visiting Europe, especially France, Italy, Spain, and the UK.
22. What is one of your weird habits?
One of my weird habits is that when I am out shopping, I never take the first item on the rack/shelf. I always take one from the back unless there are no more. I'm definitely a germ-o-phobe, so I hate the idea that so many other people have touched and/or tried on the item that I'm purchasing.
23. What sports do you play/have you played?
I am not a sports person; I have never played on a team. But I do enjoy occasionally playing basketball and I would say I'm pretty decent at it.
24. Who are some of your favourite YouTubers?
My favourites are Jaclyn Hill, Kathleen Lights, Rosita Applebum, Jessi Smiles and Ylette.
25. What's your idea of an ideal first date?
I'm a pretty low-key person so I don't care much for an extravagant first date. Instead, I want to do something simple like dinner and just hang out afterwards so that I get a chance to really talk to you and get to know you.
I hope this post gave you a better glimpse into my life. If you have any other questions that I didn't answer here, let me know down below and I will answer them.
Can't wait to chat with you guys and share my next post!

Posted by Eric Miller on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 at 8:32am.
Recently the Team at Eric Miller and Associates Keller Williams Realty Professionals in Fort Lauderdale entered into a contract for sale representing the buyer of a condominium at Ocean Club Condominium at 4020 Galt Ocean Drive in Fort Lauderdale. Though we cannot discuss the sale until after it closes we did want to bring to your attention a Fort Lauderdale Beach building worth seeing if you are looking to purchase a Fort Lauderdale Condominium.
Built in 1972 the 21 story building houses 207 Fort Lauderdale Condominiums directly on the beach. Over the last view years the building has completed many renovations throughout and today is a pleasure to show, with the roof top pool being a feature not to miss. From the lobby to each of the community rooms Ocean Club Condo has an elegant feel of a well cared for property.
In the post Wilma Days, and after the banking disaster of the last few years condominiums have been asked to meet certain criteria in order for a buyer to purchase with a Fannie Mae backed loan. At a later date I will discuss the Fannie Mare guidelines and their my opinion of their validly, however for the purpose this article I want to point out that not all loans are Fannie Mae and mortgage financing is available at this Fort Lauderdale Condominium. The building does have a line of credit which has been used during the renovations, examining their financials you will most likely see that the loan is being serviced in the same fashion some properties may contribute to a reserve fund.
After hurricane Wilma when many buildings needed access to large amounts of money quickly many Fort Lauderdale Condominiums created the added level of financial security of having a line of credit available to them. Personally we see this as responsible management of the building and it finances. Looking for more information about Fort Lauderdale Real Estate we are always here to help.


I replaced my stock HU with Alpine w505e, question, I need to connect the stock back camera to my Alpine HU what kind of connector(cable, adapter) do I need?
did you found a answer? Im about to install the Alpine halo 9 and I have come to terms with losing the lane watch function but I would like to keep the steering wheel and back up camera.
Thank you. You've saved me a bit of searching for my HU upgrade.
I'd love to see how the Halo9 looks in your Fit. If it had vertical tilt (so you can tilt it a bit towards the driver), then that would be even more awesome.

oh Jackson I just replied to your pm before seeing this. I actually already have a high end system installed in the fit using the stock HU that was like 2 years ago. You can see my trend subject complete high end system. I just happen to come across the halo 9 at a steal so thats why im installing it this week.
Thanks for the info. More power!
Possible mounting locations for 4 channel amp up front?

Q: PYTHONPATH is overwritten by something else I have a problem importing xlrd python module which is located both in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 and in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages. I'd like to import one from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, but no matter what I do /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7 stays on top of my sys.path!
I did modify my PYTHOPATH without success. The last line of my .basrc is
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:$PYTHONPATH

so I'd think dist-packages must be on top of sys.path!?
Could someone help me?
This is ubunutu 12.04lts, python2.7, iPython 0.12.1
Of course if I edit sys.path manually - everything works fine - I get xlrd of the right version, but that's ugly right? I want to know what's putting /usr/lib/pymodules... on top of the list!?
Here is my sys.path:
['',  '/usr/bin',  '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7',  '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/distribute-0.7.3-py2.7.egg',  '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/setuptools-5.4.2-py2.7.egg',  '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',  '/home/venevs/Dropbox/usr/local/lib/my_packages',  '/usr/lib/python2.7',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-client',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-couch',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-installer',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-storage-protocol',  '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/extensions']

I began these in the summer of 2016. For a long time I'd picked up bent, curled pieces of wire I found in the fields near my house. I learned that they were the wire knots off hay bales that unwound when they were clipped to open the hay bale. Their interesting shapes intrigued me, surely I could do something, make something of them, but I never did. And then it occurred to me that I could use them to design the canvas, to start a painting, to get out of my so tight, geometric style. loving artists like Richard Diebenkorn and Rothko, I worked almost entirely with straight lines, squares, etc. But now I had these curly, playful lines from the wires.
I began a painting by covering the canvas with a soft color or colors and then used charcoal to copy the wires, from which I drew further lines, break up the canvas, create shapes. But I began with the lines made by the wire. Now I painted into these shapes, into the design on the canvas. Sometimes I just filled in shapes with colors, sometimes I tried to let the line stand alone and let colors and shapes emerge apart from the lines, a more difficult process.
As with any painting I was trying to save large simple areas while creating smaller, more interesting places. I was trying to balance light and dark. And I was having fun with odd shapes and quirkly, squiggly places. I wanted drama and movement and colors that popped, that worked with each other.
Most important for me of doing this new work was trying to stay in a state of not knowing—not knowing how to do what I was doing or how to do it. I told myself to play. No rules. No color is wrong or right. It's all process and the process leaves these residues, an edge of color, a weird shape, a broken bit of line, a pale mix of color—that can only come from this haphazard process.
But strangely this attitude—I don't know what I'm doing, I really don't know—is very hard to maintain. I want to copy or do what worked in the last painting. So finding ways to stay on the edge, to play, to shut down or out my own advice is crucial. And yet at the same time I do learn useful things, discover new ways to design and paint, new ways to use colors, new colors, new tricks.
Just was with earlier work, the more geometric paintings, all earlier work, I'm aware of balancing, of struggling with tensions. Not too simple verses not too busy. Wonderful color but subtle too. A design but not obviously balanced. Etc. At point in the process I love what's happening and occasionally a painting gets done that easily. More often it goes through stages, from fun to frustration and back again. I'm seldom totally satisfied so they are less finished than abandoned. But they are my children so I'm a surprised and happy at their success while seeing their weaknesses. I made them but I'm not sure how. And I experience them as gifts.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ONE OF THE PAINTINGS SHOWN ABOVE, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ADDITIONAL "HAYWIRE" PAINTINGS, BE SURE TO SEND A NOTE THROUGH OUR CONTACT PAGE. THANK YOU!

Q: Volley ImageLoader gives 403 response for some https url I am using Volley Library in my project.
I am using ImageLoader to load & display image from https url.
for example:
ImageLoader mImageLoader;
ImageView mImageView;
// The URL for the image that is being loaded.
private static final String IMAGE_URL =
    "https://developer.android.com/images/training/system-ui.png";
...
mImageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.regularImageView);

// Get the ImageLoader through your singleton class.
mImageLoader = MySingleton.getInstance(this).getImageLoader();
mImageLoader.get(IMAGE_URL, ImageLoader.getImageListener(mImageView,
         R.drawable.def_image, R.drawable.err_image));

It loads some images successfully but not all.
For some images I got below error response:
BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 403 for https://developer.android.com/images/training/system-ui.png

Any solution to resolve this issue ?

A: I have tried your code but it seems working fine for me.
Method to send ImageRequest :
 private void sendImageRequest() {
        final String IMAGE_URL =
                "https://developer.android.com/images/training/system-ui.png";
        ImageRequest request = new ImageRequest(IMAGE_URL,
                new Response.Listener<Bitmap>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(Bitmap bitmap) {
                        Log.e("Image Sucess", bitmap.toString());
//                        mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                        imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
                    }
                }, 0, 0, null,
                new Response.ErrorListener() {
                    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                        Log.e("Image Error", error.getMessage());
//                        mImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image_load_error);
                    }
                });
// Access the RequestQueue through your singleton class.
        Volley.newRequestQueue(getApplicationContext()).add(request);
    }

library in gradle :
  compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'

And Internet permission in Manifest.xml
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Try with this code please.
Thanks.

A: Together with my comments above at your question, you can find more in BasicNetwork.java:
...
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    int statusCode = 0;
                    NetworkResponse networkResponse = null;
                    if (httpResponse != null) {
                        statusCode = httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();
                    } else {
                        throw new NoConnectionError(e);
                    }
                    VolleyLog.e("Unexpected response code %d for %s", statusCode, request.getUrl());
                    if (responseContents != null) {
                        networkResponse = new NetworkResponse(statusCode, responseContents,
                                responseHeaders, false, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime() - requestStart);
                        if (statusCode == HttpStatus.SC_UNAUTHORIZED ||
                                statusCode == HttpStatus.SC_FORBIDDEN) {
                            attemptRetryOnException("auth",
                                    request, new AuthFailureError(networkResponse));
                        } else {
                            // TODO: Only throw ServerError for 5xx status codes.
                            throw new ServerError(networkResponse);
                        }
                    } else {
                        throw new NetworkError(networkResponse);
                    }
                }

If the response code is 403 - FORBIDDEN, attemptRetryOnException() will be called and you will get the image.
Hope this helps!

A: It was not Volley or ImageLoader fault.
Actually I am trying to access an image of amazon s3 bucket using the bucket url directly.
Though, image doesn't exist at that url, S3 returns a 403 instead of a 404 when the user doesn't have permission to access it.
Solved by this answer, check it for more details
