ACE ENTREPRENEURS LAUNCHES £10,000 INVESTMENT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT EARLY-STAGE BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES
A new investment initiative has been launched by ACE Entrepreneurs to support and fund early-stage black-owned businesses. The ACE Entrepreneurs Investment Program has been launched to tackle a funding gap for black-owned businesses. The program is led by businesswoman and entrepreneur Nadine Campbell, Founder of ACE Entrepreneurs, a community for diverse entrepreneurs and Kevin Edwards, who is the ACE Entrepreneurs Investment Partner and BTIG Managing Director – European Credit Sales & Trading.
As well as raising funds, it will also create business plans, revenue and expenditure workbooks and bespoke business reviews for all applicants, on how to improve their business plans which can be then used to look for other funding. All of which are crucial to long term business progress.
The success rate for starting up a business for Black entrepreneurs is in line with the UK average. However, entrepreneurs from ethnic backgrounds have significantly lower success rates in the long term. Research has shown key differences in performance are in access to finance, social capital, household income. There is also an under-representation of certain ethnic groups among leadership teams in the workplace, which reduces the opportunity to develop business-relevant skills, knowledge and networks. Of all groups, diverse female entrepreneurs have the biggest disadvantages across all areas.*
As a result, more black founders are forced to self-fund to an average of £14k compared to the £9,500 from the UK average entrepreneur. These statistics suggest there is a lack of equal funding opportunities available. At least 78% of black entrepreneurs had no formal funding at all and only 14% received startup loans, guaranteed by the government.**
ACE already provides a significant free business knowledge learning base for entrepreneurs on their platform and the next step is this new investment program.
Campbell said: "We have launched this initiative to increase investment opportunities for small businesses by creating our first micro funding program for the diverse community. Kevin and I have significant experience in the business and investment sector to help scale promising businesses and disrupt the lack of funding and support for this demographic. Despite the diverse community being one of the hardest hit during the pandemic, thousands of businesses were opened and are trading. What they lack is the ability to scale, which is where ACE entrepreneurs can offer business-changing funding and support".
She continues: "The public conversation about supporting diverse led businesses is gaining momentum, what we need now is tangible solutions that can effect real change for the mass market. The doors are opening for very unique entrepreneurs who can quickly go to Series-A funding or join up-market incubators. However, there are thousands of other, extremely promising small businesses that do not qualify across a range of sectors. We are specifically looking to support these high potential entrepreneurs who need funding or business support to scale."

Cornyn: Senate Should Have True Cost of 'Build Back Better' Before a Vote
Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed the budget gimmicks being used by Democrats to artificially lower the cost of their tax-and-spend legislation and his letter sent last week asking the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation for an updated estimate. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn's remarks are below, and video can be found here.
"What they've basically done is to create the illusion of a lower price tag without making any real, substantive long-term cuts. And how do you do that? Well, it's the old-fashioned way. It's called budget gimmicks."
"Rather than remove these expensive programs entirely, they've chose to create a number of arbitrary cliffs, sunsets, and expirations. That way, they could pretend to pass these bills at a lower cost with the tacit promise to continue them at another time and another day."
"It's smoke and mirrors. It's budget gimmickry. It's starting new programs, claiming to cut them off after a year, knowing that inevitably Congress will be tempted to extend them much, much longer."
"We need to know precisely how much this bill will cost the American people. We know that our colleagues across the aisle have struggled to try to make a $6 trillion bill appear to be a $3.5 trillion and now a $1.75 trillion, but I don't think anybody is really fooled."
"The cost estimate provided by the CBO, we know - given these phony assumptions - is not an accurate statement of the true cost of the bill."
"The budget experts at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business have analyzed this legislation as if these temporary provisions would be made permanent, which I think is the safest assumption to make."
"So instead of $1.75 trillion, they pegged the cost close to $4.6 trillion over ten years."
"Last week I sent a letter to the leaders of the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation requesting an updated estimate based on more reasonable assumptions. If the temporary provisions of this bill are extended, and I fully expect them to be if our Democratic colleagues have the votes to do it, this legislation will cost a whole lot more than what the American people have been told."

There are several ways that a default final judgment can be obtained in a divorce or other family law matter as follows below. Since 1997, the family law and divorce lawyers at All Family Law Group, P.A. in Tampa have experience with all divorce and family law matters, whether they are complex or uncontested and we strive for the best representation. Contact our law firm to schedule a free consultation with one of our skilled Tampa divorce lawyers who can answer your questions regarding obtaining a default judgment.
In divorce and family law cases, the person who files the petition is known as the petitioner and the person against whom the case is filed is known as the respondent. The petition is filed with the court in the county in which the petitioner and respondent last resided together. The petition must be served by personal service upon the respondent at his or her address. A process server can be a private company designated to serve process in Florida or it may be done by a Sheriff Deputy.
The process server will file a notice with the court certifying that service has been accomplished upon the respondent, at what address and at what date and time, once the process server has served the petition on the respondent. When the respondent is served, he or she will receive a Summons which will give instructions to the respondent as to how he or she must proceed. The Summons will notify him or her that he or she has 20 days to file a response with the court and to send a copy of the response to the petitioner.
The petitioner may file a motion for clerk's default and it will be entered by the clerk if the respondent does not respond within 20 days after the date of service. Even if the respondent does not send the petitioner a copy of the response, since all divorce and family law pleadings are online, it is possible to determine whether or not the respondent has filed a response before submitting the motion for default to the clerk.
The petitioner can proceed to finalize the case without including the respondent if the default is entered by the clerk. He or she will have to be notified of the final hearing; however, the respondent is prohibited to file any responsive pleadings unless he or she files a motion to overturn the default.
When there are no children, marital assets or debts, it is very simple to schedule an uncontested final hearing wherein you will receive what you are asking for in the final judgment which the petitioner prepares for the judge to sign. Essentially, it is that you will obtain a divorce. If there are children, marital assets or debt or alimony issues, then it will require a final hearing where testimony is heard by and evidence provided to the court concerning the children and other issues relevant to the case.
3) you acted with due diligence to seek relief from the default. In other words you acted quickly to request that the court set aside the clerk's default.
If you have questions regarding divorce and family law, contact the experienced and trusted highly rated Tampa lawyers at All Family Law Group, P.A. We are committed to providing you with the best representation possible. Call 813-672-1900 or contact our firm online to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case and the options available to you.


The Same Dame: The Rick Roll to End All Rick Rolls?
The Rick Roll to End All Rick Rolls?
In what must've been the largest Rick Roll ever, The Cartoon Network went and Rick Rolled the entire Macy's Parade audience. Now may be the time to retire the Rick Roll for good.
Do you think anyone in that sorry audience got it?
I would guess no. But that's kind of more fitting, when you think about it.


To overcome from this we can securely erase and clean physical disk before redeployment of it using Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software. There are multiple options to overwrites existing contents on the disks like one pass, three passes or seven passes.
1pass option overwrites contents with zeros. This option is not applicable for flash drives.
3pass option overwrites with set data patterns. It follows the recommendations from NNSA (United States National Nuclear Security Administration ). This option is also not applicable for flash drives.
7pass option also overwrites with set data patterns. It follows the recommendations from DOD.
Below tables shows approximate time needed to securely erase data using above options.
How we can use this option while erasing data?
The CellCLI DROP CELLDISK command includes an option to securely erase data by overwriting the data. If Exadata Storage Server drives contain sensitive data that needs to be erased for redeployment or another purpose, then the secure erase feature should be used on the storage cell.
The ERASE option ensures that all data is overwritten with random data, and erased up to seven times. This ensures that the data cannot be recovered, and that the data is permanently erased.
This command is necessary if a cell disk fails, or it is replaced by a newer model.
Before dropping the cell disk, you should drop its grid disks and the corresponding Oracle ASM disks from the disk groups.
The Oracle ASM disks should be dropped before dropping the grid disks.
If individual cell disks are specified, then the named cell disks (cdisk_name) are dropped.
If the LUN associated with the CELLDISK is flagged as automatically created, then that LUN is deleted along with the cell disk.
The DROP GRIDDISK command removes the named grid disks from the cell or removes all the grid disks specified by the ALL PREFIX option.
If the gdisk_name is entered, then the name identifies the individual grid disk to be removed. Multiple names can be entered.
The FLASHDISK option limits the DROP GRIDDISK command to grid disks that are flash disks.
The HARDDISK option limits the DROP GRIDDISK command to grid disks that are hard disks.
When dropping all grid disks using the 1pass or 3pass option, it necessary to drop the flash disks first using the 7pass option.
You can go through the Oracle Exadata Documentation for more information.
