Mark Bebie and his friends, Steve Risse and Tom Waasdorp, died on March 20, 1993, while attempting Slipstream on Snow Dome in the Canadian Rockies.
Mark was a Washington native. He grew up hiking, skiing and climbing in the Cascade Mountains. Mark graduated from Lakeville High School and Syracuse University. After college, his work included a stint with the airplane manufacturing giant, Boeing. In 1983, he joined a small, but rapidly growing, computer software company, Microsoft, as a programmer. In 1988, Mark quit his job and embarked on a climbing odyssey which included a series of high-standard ascents around the world.
During two seasons in the French Alps, his climbs included the Central Pillar of Freney, the Voie Jackson on the north face of Les Droites and the Cecchine-Nomine route on the Grand Pilier d'Angle. In the Alaska Range, he teamed up with Jim Nelson and completed the second ascent of the Infinite Spur on Mount Foraker, ten years after the first ascent. In southeast Alaska, he made the first ascent of the south ridge of Mount Augusta and the south buttress of the Devils Thumb. He traveled to the Tien Shan in Asia and climbed Khan Tengri. In the summer of 1992, Mark was part of a strong team in the Karakoram that just missed summiting on Shipton Spire after climbing a big- wall route.
During his years at Microdot, Mark's weekend climbing trips were legendary. His well-worn Datsun (and later Subaru) with the famous Piolet license plate would be heading towards the mountains or crags well before five P.M. on Fridays. With only two days to quench his thirst for climbing each week, he pushed beyond what most people thought possible. One late summer weekend, he hiked into the southern Picket Range of the Cascades, traversed Mounts Terror and Degenhardt and was back at work on Monday morning, a trip that would take most climbers four or five days to complete. Mark's most significant climbs in the Cascades were the first winter ascents of Bonanza Peak and Mount Triumph and a new winter route on the west face of the north peak of Mount Index.
Mark lived simply. There was no fuss or fashion about his clothes, his hair or anything else. His infinite curiosity coupled with an amazing ability to focus and concentrate meant that nothing was ever without interest for him. After a long climbing trip, Mark might call you and talk for hours, not only about the climb, but also about the books he had read while in camp, the people he met, the wildlife he encountered, the municipal politics of Yakutat, clear-cutting on the Inland Passage, French wines, international issues, computers and anything else that was on his mind at the moment. He was never bored. On an ice-climbing trip to Colorado, he and his partner turned an otherwise average trip into a tour of brew pubs, looking for the best stout, which they found in Telluride. Mark enlivened a day of lift skiing by getting enough runs to bring the lift-ticket price down to less than a dollar per lift ride.
Whether climbing, skiing or hiking, Mark loved to be out in the open air, breathing, living. Indoors or out, he expressed his zest. Around camp, you would find him reading, melting snow, brewing tea, sharpening tools or listening to news or a cultural broadcast on a short-wave radio. In town, Mark was always "being productive," as he would say, researching a new climb, reading about an old one, sorting slides, brewing beer, studying oriental rugs, working out, anything to keep moving, to feel alive. There were times when his intensity and constant motion would drive you crazy. But he always took the time to bring you back with a kind word or a warm gesture.
and then a massive handshake. His hands were perhaps the most animated and expressive parts of him. At times it seemed that without hands Mark couldn't really express himself.
Mark is survived by his parents Hans and Austie Bebie, his sister Wendy Gordon and her family, his sweetheart Charlotte Fox and his many friends. We all miss him.


This month's ebay treat. I've named this chap Billy.
Bought on ebay, this unusual naive style portrait of a boy is in a bit of a state. There is damage and paint loss around the eye, but I think this adds to the character of the painting. I mean look at that face…the ruddy cheeks and that petulant purse of the lips tells me he's a bit of a bruiser who's prone to getting into fights and playing truant. It's as though the painting itself has got into a scrap and received a left hook to the right eye! Billy the bruiser.
This one is a conundrum. By the look of his expression and stiff, impatient posture, he was a reluctant portrait sitter. I can't imagine it was commissioned, and if it was why? He's not the prettiest kid in the world! So why was it painted? Chubby, grumpy looking schoolboys are not usually a subject matter favoured by artists.
It's quite crudely painted. Not much time was spent perfecting it, but it oozes character and attitude. I'm getting hints of Lowri and Augustus John. Is that a tartan scarf? Scottish maybe? It screams working class. 50's? Maybe 60's? A social comment? Or just the artist painting the first person he saw that day when he just had to get something down on canvas?
But would they lose their enigmatic resonance? I suppose it would be a bit like knowing what your cat is thinking. Some things are best left to the imagination.

It is no secret that women love the Ivy. The attraction is the result of a comfortable liner, a women's-specific shape and an internal balance liner that reduces heel lift. The fleecy interior insulation ensures that warmth is completely taken care of, freeing the mind to focus on riding. The Toasty Toes insulation will insure the warmest feeling that a Custom Fit boot can deliver. Add on the BOA COILER easy lacing and you'll be ready to explore the whole mountain.
FOAM: CUSTOM FIT - Increased comfort & maximum protection of your shin area. Heat moldable foam that allows you customized adaptation in the shin area providing protection, great envelopment & comfort.
CONSTRUCTION: BALANCE LINER: A unique liner approach for unmatched comfort, great support & precision. Our unique liner construction answers precise needs according to each area of the foot. Forefoot area: warmth, fit & comfort - Heel area: heel hold & support - Upper area: protection & breathability.
POLAR INSULATION:MEDIUM FLEX 6: Added Warmth for the FUSION line. Specific fleece lining located in the forefoot area that delivers greater insulation & warmth.
BOA COILER: Twist and go it doesn't get any easier. Adjust them all day long w/ your gloves on.
CUT OUTSOLE: Few brands go the distance on female footwear, but our ladies boots even feature a trim anatomical sole for a gender-biased fit. The new outsole improves feel and control.
AUTHENTIC WOMEN LAST: Unique anatomical mold for women's Authentic boots. Most anatomical studies have shown that a women's feet have their own particularities: less forefoot volume, thinner heel, deep arch support & lower calf. That's why we devote so much time to engineer a unique mold dedicated to women's feet.
-All Boots seem to stretch out about 1/2 size. It is normal to have a smaller Boot size than your shoe size to compensate for the boots stretching and getting "BIGGER" from how they feel in the store.

Nintendo 3DS Allows Racist, Sexist And Vulgar Character Names
Filed to: Culture smashFiled to: Culture smash
Culture smash
The 3DS's "StreetPass" function allows players to automatically trade Mii Avatars with whomever they pass on the street. But the streets are dangerous, and some 3DS owners are bound to be total dicks.
Offensive and Not Safe for Work language to follow.
"Dick" is actually a nickname that brings up a warning screen on the Japanese 3DS. So if your name is Richard, you better just stick to Rich. "COCK" is out, too, but "COCKSUCKER?" That's totally cool. The warning screen pops up whenever a nickname sets off the filtering software, informing players that the selected nickname could offend others and telling the 3DS owner to check his or her instruction booklet.
In the back of the booklet, there are the terms of use for the Nintendo Miis. Some of those terms of use include not using Miis in advertising (as they are property of Nintendo) as well as not using Miis to violate the privacy of others and not using the Miis to offend other gamers.
Unlike the terms of use for Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network, Nintendo Customer Support in Japan informed me that there is no box that 3DS users must check to confirm that they have read these terms and accept them.
Different words trigger the warning screen. I entered a slew of profane Japanese and English words into the nickname section. For some reason, there is an assumption among some in the West that there are no bad words in Japanese. There are tons of bad words in Japanese. Many of these words are banned from television, while others are allowed on TV, but are simply considered crass.
Political correctness does exist in Japan as evident by the changing of "kangofu" (看護婦) to "kangoshi" (看護師). Both words mean "nurse", but kangofu contains kanji (婦) that pertains to women. Not all nurses in Japan are women, hence the change. Even words like "half" (ハーフ) that refer to half-Japanese individuals are now seen as containing elements of racism and are not said on news broadcasts. Instead, the Japanese equivalent of, for example, "French-Japanese" is used, among other terms.
I entered in worse words than this. Some of the words, like "kuso" (shit) or "oppai" (boobs), aren't that bad. Some of the slurs towards disabled people or minorities are. While entering these words, I even changed the window that lists who created the Mii to "Fuck You". This did not bring up the warning screen, and neither did "Fuck You" for a Mii name (as seen in the video).
Here are the words that brought up the warning screen: chinko (penis), chinchin (penis), chinpo (penis), ochinpo (penis), chinpoko (penis), ochinpo (penis), penisu (penis), PENIS, seieki (semen), aieki (semen), seishi (semen), zaamen (semen), manko (vagina), omanko (vagina), omeko (vagina), PUSSY, yariman (slut), ANAL, sekkusu (sex), SEX, reipu (rape), RAPE, goukan (rape), onanii (masturbation), FUCK, fera (fellatio), unchi (poop), unko (poop), BITCH, SHIT, shine (die), bukkorosu (to beat to death), rorikon (Lolita Complex), kichigai (lunatic), tsunbo (deaf person), buraku (Buraku are an outcast group in Japan), shinjin (slur for Chinese), chankoro (slur for Chinese), kuronbo (dark person), niguro (negro), NEGRO, katawa (cripple), chinba (cripple), pikko (cripple), WHORE, SLUT, ASS, DICK, COCK, DAMN, TWAT, CUNT and TITS.
Here are the words that did not bring up the warning screen: ochinchin (penis), kintama (testicles), tamatama (testicles), fuguri (testicles), chinge (dick hair), nikubou (penis), mara (penis), speruma (sperm), manjiru ("cream pie"), yarichin (guy that beds lots of girls), omanman (vagina), mange (vagina hair), kurito (clit), oppai (boobs), anaru (anal), fakku (fuck), Hshitai (I want to screw), ferachio (fellatio), cunni (cunnilingus), COCKSUCKER, paizuri (titty-fuck), UNKO (poop), geri (diarrhea), taiben (shit), kuso (shit), makiguzo (shit), bicchi (bitch), rori (Lolita), oshikko (urine), kojiki (begger), dojin (native), burakumin (Burakumin are an outcast group in Japan), hinin (lowest rank of the Japanese feudal cast), eta (lowest rank of Japanese feudal cast), domori (stutter), ketou (hairy foreigner), nigaa (nigger), rosuke (Russian person - "Ruski"), Amekou (American person), JAP and choppari (Korean slur for "Japanese people").
Note that the words in caps were entered in English, and the English version of the 3DS is bound to be different. Though, if these words seem familiar, that's because many of them were denied and allowed in Pocket Monsters: Black and White, leading to assumptions that the Mii Studio software is using the same filter. Some words that were not allowed in Black and White, like "hinin", are oddly enough allowed in the Mii Studio. And some words that were allowed, like "bukkorosu", now bring up the warning screen.
The way that the words are filtered is sloppy. For example, "ANAL" brings up the warning screen. However, "anaru" (アナル), which means what you think it does in Japanese, does not. It makes no sense. What's more, "FUCK" brings up the warning screen, but "FUCK YOU" does not — nor does "ファック" ("fakku"). For those who do not believe that these English words are widely understood in Japan, Google image search away!
What makes the Miis so interesting is that players are now able to trade Miis with whomever they pass on the street. But that, it seems, might open up 3DS owners to trolling by Miis named "Fuck You-san" made by "Fuck You". According to Nintendo Customer Support, of course 3DS owners can change the settings on their 3DS to block this kind of Mii exchange. But when asked what Nintendo will do if, say, a seven or eight year old learns some new bad words via the Mii StreetPass, Japanese customer support said to erase the profane Miis and change the settings. Microsoft and Sony can follow up and investigate on issues that elude their filters. Kotaku is following up with Nintendo's spokesperson to determine what further steps players can take and if there is anything that can be done to stop spammers.
Of course, the 3DS can change the settings to avoid this issue altogether. But the issue here is that these words slipped through in Pokémon: Black And White, and they're still slipping through with the 3DS. There's little rhyme or reason to Nintendo's filtering. Why does "TITS" bring up a warning screen, but the Japanese equivalent of "titty-fuck" does not? It's sloppy in more ways than one.
Update: Nintendo of America commented on this issue, saying, "There will be a built-in filter that prevents obviously offensive words from being used as Mii nicknames. Additionally, there will be a function called "blocked-user setting" that enables Nintendo 3DS owners to reject the receipt of Mii characters and other content from a specific user. Specific details will be revealed closer to the launch date. Remember that no information will / can be shared until players choose to activate this feature. Parents can disable the StreetPass feature using Parental Controls."
Culture Smash is a daily dose of things topical, interesting and sometimes even awesome - game related and beyond.

I was fortunate to have been invited to the 4th annual Human Computer Interaction 2012 (HCI) conference as a chief guest, which was held in Pune in April 2012. After pondering over different topics, I decided to talk about something that I feel very passionate about which is 'Design Led Thinking - Why Now? Why in Emerging Markets?'. This blog is a synopsis of my talk at HCI and represent my thought on this topic. I would like to know what you think on this subject, so please, let the comments flow freely.
As someone has said 'Good design goes to heaven and bad design goes everywhere'. This is so true in our everyday life where we find badly designed web sites and products all around us. Following three examples are great stories (websites) of how bad a product can be designed which violates pretty much all of the wisdom out there about design principles.
While bad design is all around us, there are some excellent examples of good design such as TESCO HomePlus virtual subway store created in south korea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGaVFRzTTP4). This is a great story which incorporates innovation, simplest design, aesthetics, usefulness and many other characteristics of a good design. Flipkart, Samsung, Apple, Pinterest are few of the great stories where design has been numero uno differentiator for them. At the same time, Nokia and Sony has been examples where they no longer produce break through design ideas as before and hence, has been in decline for a while now. Nokia may bounce back with Lumia 900 but yet to be seen.
So, what's different you may ask especially, if the good and bad designs have been around all along? Why is design or design led thinking for creating new products is important in current market conditions? There are many reasons but I would like to stay focused on three key reasons as to why design led thinking is stealing all the attention in the world in this decade.
Reason #1 - Data consumption is exploding through the roof. As per research done by University of San Diego, US alone consumes 10,485 Trillion words. This is significantly more than what it used to be even few years ago. With the infrastructure, internet and smartphones becoming available and affordable in the developing economies like India, China and Brail, data consumption will not see decline for decades to come. The following picture nicely articulates how US alone consumes data.
Reason #2 - Attention span is shrinking - Our lives are becoming busier and attention span is shrinking day-by-day. Websites are becoming less content centric and more design oriented. Competition is getting fierce and visually good and working product designs are driving revenues. Fifty years ago, our primary mode of consuming data was news papers, then came affordable books or large number of people started buying books, then came eBooks (Kindle, iPad etc.) followed by all kinds of blogs. After blogs came Micro-blogging and now, there is a trend of picture blogging like Instagram. Following picture depicts how our modes of data consumption has changed as a result of lower attention span.
The result of lower attention span and yet, data consumption only going upward means that there is need more than ever to create an impact via highly innovative product or website designs.
Reason #3 - Key trends changing job of CMO - As per IBM global CMO study, there were three primary reasons cited as primary charter for CMO. 1) Empowered customers are NOW in control of business relationships 2) Delivering customer VALUE is paramount and 3) The pressure to be accountable requires new approaches, tools and skills. CIOs and CMOs are now equally being held responsible for revenues and profitability of the products / company. Also, given the consumer driven market, customers are in total control to decide fate of any product and all of the social networking has made that even more easier. Result of these factors is that CIOs and CMOs want to quickly take ideas to market as a beta product, experiment with various ideas / designs and incrementally build the product to avoid failures late in the cycle. To achieve such an objective, one would need to adopt and embark on 'Continuous Design - Continuous Innovation' journey.
If you put all of these together - there is certainly a strong case for 'Why Now' as far as design led thinking goes. What do you think? What has been your experience? Do you have stories to share? If so, please go on - comment.
P.S.: Special recognition to my friends and colleagues Aditya Karle, Rajiv Mathew and Nagarjun K.
Mahesh, you are touching on avery an interesting topic, and especially now when there is a clear economic shift from the developed countries to the BRIC and now Africa too.
As they say "Need is the mother of all inventions", and thereby design to support an invention is a result of a need too.
No wonder some of the most fantastic inventions and designs were realised during wars, industrial and economic revolutions. In-fact wars have contributed to some of the most fantastic inventions, as insensitive as it may sound, but it is true.
The west witnessed a huge outburst of inventions and there by designs to support them; some very successful and some not as much.
The India or largely the global south is going through a similar phase, and a similar sense of urgency too. But fortunately for us it's not a war but an economic revolution.
Whats also unique to India is the immense population and the overall demography.
> The first would be as you rightly mentioned, "not just value for money, but value for many". Frugal innovations that are cost effective and game changing are absolutely essential.
The definition for good design in India will definitely depend on what the design has to offer for the masses.
I feel vexed when people remark a Tata nano for instance, in bad light, a myopic view of what's the true meaning of good design is harmful. I reckon, a Nano as a beautiful design, not just for its capability as a machine, but for how it is revolutionising the auto industry in its own unique way,and how it caters to the need of the indian market.
By the way, some of the frugal innovations mentioned in the second part of your blog map quite well to Dieter Ram's key elements of good design.
> The global south is also expected to cater to needs of the global north and some of its own maturing (at a fast pase) local markets.
Thanks a lot Aditya. I totally agree with you. It is exciting time ahead.

I know a lot of you are curious about email marketing. What it is, how to do it, does it still work in 2019. I figured instead of my little articles, I'd put together a more complete resource answering all your questions.
This article will focus on what it is and why you want to do it.
Email marketing is using simple, plain old emails to sell your products and services. It can be as simple as emailing people about your offer, or a complex, multilayered, finely tuned system. For now, let's keep it simple.
Let's say you have an offer. How do you use email to get it to people who might want it?
You could send unsolicited emails to people. It's tricky – people don't like being spammed – but it can work.
Or you could get people to come to you. On your website, ask people to sign up to your email list. You can then send them emails about your offer.
Both have pros and cons.
And both need to be done well – otherwise, you'll be spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.
But that's okay. After all, that's why you're here.
Does Email Marketing still work in 2019?
Short answer: yes.
Plenty of people will tell you email is dead. They'll say Facebook killed it off or whatever. They've been saying stuff like that for decades, though, and the stats don't back them. Despite all these new platforms, email is not only surviving, it's thriving.
There are more than 3.8 billion email users today. By 2022, this is expected to grow to 4.3 billion. That's a tasty market – bigger than any social media platform.
Email volume also trends upwards. In 2017, 269 billion emails were sent a day. By 2022, that's expected to reach 333 billion. So, yes, people are still emailing each other.
But most importantly:
The return on investment for email marketing is rising, too. In 2018, every dollar spent on email marketing yielded $32.28, an increase of $2.25 over the year before. Not only does it pay off, that payoff is increasing.
The Secrets behind Email's rise
Email has many advantages over social media:
It's personal. On Facebook and Twitter, you're bombarded with ads you don't want. With email, any ad you don't want probably heads straight for your spam box. You control your inbox and who can send messages to it, something social media tends to lack.
Your email list is yours. Social media can shut you down without notice. Think that only happens to racists? Think again – enough outrage (real or manufactured) against you will see these platforms shrug and abandon you. If that happened, you'd have to start over. But with email, even if you're banned (which is highly unlikely) you could take your list to another provider.
It's useful. Sure, we probably receive too many emails these days. It still remains one of the best ways to stay informed and stay in touch.

Savebuckets is a price comparison site which allows you to compare prices on a wide range of products through hundreds of different shops, so you can save buckets on laptops you sighted. Here is how it works there: If you have found the laptop that you are looking for but it is over the budget that you have set aside to buy that product then My Price allows you to enter your email address and the maximum amount you are prepared to pay. Savebuckets will then check the prices of that product across all the shops when they update their prices and will email you when your product has reached or fallen below your maximum price. If after two weeks the price has not fallen to your maximum amount we will send you an email with the current lowest price and a link to the Savebuckets site where you can renew the My Price for that product.

Banks around the world hit with fileless malware
Kaspersky Lab researchers have brought to light a series of attacks leveraged against 140+ banks and other businesses around the world.
But what makes these attacks unusual is the criminals' use of widely used legitimate tools and fileless malware, which explains why the attacks went largely unnoticed.
"This threat was originally discovered by a bank's security team, after detecting Meterpreter code inside the physical memory of a domain controller (DC)," the researchers explained.
"Kaspersky Lab participated in the forensic analysis after this attack was detected, discovering the use of PowerShell scripts within the Windows registry. Additionally it was discovered that the NETSH utility as used for tunnelling traffic from the victim's host to the attacker´s C2."
Meterpreter is a well known Metasploit payload that allows attackers to control the screen of a device using VNC and to browse, upload and download files. NETSH (network shell), is a Windows command-line utility that allows local or remote configuration of network devices.
The attackers also took advantage of the Windows SC utility to install a malicious service to execute PowerShell scripts, and Mimikatz to extract credentials from compromised machines.
"The use of the SC and NETSH utilities requires administrator privileges both in local and remote host. The use of malicious PowerShell scripts also requires privilege escalation and execution policy changes," the researchers noted.
"In order to achieve this, attackers used credentials from Service accounts with administrative privileges (for example backup, service for remote task scheduler, etc.) grabbed by Mimikatz."
The attackers' goal
The attacks on banks were apparently aimed at compromising computers that control ATMs, so the attackers could steal money.
But the use of the Metasploit framework, standard Windows utilities and previously unknown domains that have no WHOIS information makes it difficult to tie these attacks to one or more groups.
Also, it is still unknown how the initial infection is performed.
The researchers are scheduled to reveal more details about the attacks in April.
In the meantime, they have published Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and a Yara rule that can be used by banks and organizations to detect these fileless PowerShell attacks on their networks.
"After successful disinfection and cleaning, it is necessary to change all passwords," they concluded.

Are elephants digigrade? Or plantigrade? Or unguligrade?
If they are ungulants, are they even-toed like cows? Or odd-toed like horses?

Evolutionarily, they are related to ungulates, however, from looking at their skeleton, it seems that they are digigrade, but with a fleshy cushion at the back of the foot.
I have been looking into certain questions.
How did the first viruses evolve?
Did they evolve from microbes with ribosomes?
Is there evidence that an extinct fourth domain of cellular life contributed to the rise of eukaryotes?
Yeast are eukaryotes. But they aren't protists — or are they?
Did yeast descend from metazoans multicellular ancestors?
All the questions are quick. I suspect none of the answers are.
[unparsed]Thanks, bb4r. I've kept looking myself. Some of what I've found matches exactly what you say. Lots of it matches, but with qualifications. A bit seems to be stuff you didn't know when you posted. More than that is stuff I didn't know until you posted. I misused the term metazoan. I was actually wondering whether yeasts' ancestors might have been multicellular fungi. Recent(?) experiments making "snowflake yeast" have attracted alternate interpretations; even among the scientists doing the experiments. Have you heard about those? You seem to be able to find stuff marginally faster and marginally more uptodate than me.

I currently have a binary star in my world. I was think of making two or three moons, but I have not spent that much time on it. However, I just thought of an interesting twist: what if my world had a binary star and a binary planet? I wonder how differently life would evolve on either. Food for thought.
I think it would be a definite boon to the development of space-travel.
I don't know about life up til then though.
But think how much easier it would be to stay motivated, if first you could colonize another habitable world by means of the equivalent of a moon-shot?
And then yet another by means of the equivalent of a mission to Venus or Mars?
And then another by means of going to a planet of a sister star? Not as far away as Alpha Centauri; but rather, maybe about five times as far away as Saturn or Neptune or Pluto?
Give both of the stars habitable planets. One should have a double-planet of which both spheres are habitable, one being your con people's home world; one should have a giant planet with two habitable moons.
I've written about some of these ideas here on the CWBB not too many months ago.* You're welcome to use, or disregard, as much of it as you choose. I mostly talked about eclipses and seasons and day-vs-night, if i recall correctly. I don't remember having much worthwhile to say about evolution.
*this past June of 2018.
[unparsed]@bbbourq, about the double planets and double stars etc., what if any ideas are aborning about the evolution of life, specifically intelligent life and culture and civilization, on such a conworld?

It'll take a while for the lander to set up, and it can't move like the rovers, but apparently it was right on target for where they wanted it anyway!

Get essential information on debt consolidation programs and valuable tips on how to make the most out of them.
Many Australians consider using one of the debt consolidation programs available to them, but these consumers do not know exactly how the programs work and how they should be used for achieving the best results.
In most cases, the debt consolidation program comes in the form of a large loan. This loan is used for the repayment of the various smaller debts which the person has. As a result, the borrower ends up with a single regular payment to make. It is typically smaller than the total size of the previous payments. As a result, the risk of default is lower. Savings can be generated as well.
If you have to manage the repayment of several different loans, then the use of a debt consolidation program can be highly beneficial. You will make just a single payment on a regular basis and this will help you to save on transaction costs. The risk of you missing the payment accidently will be reduced to the very possible minimum.
You can expect your debt consolidation loan to have a longer repayment term. This will result in smaller regular payments. In turn, you will have larger disposable income left to spend. This will give you room to breathe and lower your risk of default and of getting into more debt in the future.
If you have considerable credit card debt, you will certainly find a debt consolidation program to be useful. Generally, it is fairly easy to spend more than you can afford to pay back with credit cards. Besides, they have some of the highest interest rates among credit facilities. With a debt consolidation loan, you will be able to pay back what you owe on your credit cards at a lower interest rate and save money. You can opt for an unsecured loan with lower rate or for a secured one. The secured loans have some of the lowest rates around but they carry a higher risk for the borrower.
You need to understand that a debt consolidation program will not leave you completely debt-free. You will still have to repay the consolidation loan. Even though the regular payments are smaller, you have to prepare a strict budget and stick to it in a disciplined way.
It is not difficult for people who use a debt consolidation program to slip into the debt trap once again. In this situation, they have credit cards with zero balance and this can get them into spending more than they can afford to pay back. If major new credit card debt has to be paid along with the debt consolidation loan, things can really get out of control.
You need to evaluate carefully the total cost of the debt consolidation loan. These loans typically have longer repayment terms so that the size of the regular payments is kept small. As a result, interest is charged for a longer period of time and this may make them more expensive. In a difficult situation, you may agree to incur a higher cost in order to make the repayment of debt comfortable. As your situation improves with time, you can pay off the loan sooner to save on interest. In general, it is possible for the interest rate on the new loan to be so low that even a longer term will lead to savings. You should use a calculator to determine the total cost of the consolidation loan and how much money it will save you, if any.
Each debt consolidation program carries a certain risk which you have to evaluate in advance. The risk is higher with a secured debt consolidation loan. Usually, the loan is secured with the property of the borrower. This results in a much lower interest rate and potential tax savings. However, in case of default on the repayment of the secured loan, the lender will have the right to repossess the borrower's house. The risk is considerable to it has to be assessed carefully, especially given that with an unsecured loan, the lender will not have the right to take over your property directly.
You can select from a wide range of programs offered by different debt consolidation lenders. Follow the steps outlined below to make the right choice for you.
Talk to lenders that you have established a relationship with first. These include past lenders and banks and credit unions which you have accounts with. These financial institutions are more likely to give you a fair and favourable deal.
They may present attractive offers in order to win you as a customer.
Such loans are suitable for people with bad credit history who are looking to consolidate small amounts of debt.
Go through the offers for debt consolidation which you have received in your mail box and email box. If a lender has already approached you, you will have higher chances of securing a good deal with them. This, however, does not mean that you should go for the first offer which you come across. You need to research the lender and to assess the program carefully.
Perform an online search to identify favourable debt consolidation programs. Just be careful as you may come across scams. You should try to find genuine user reviews for evaluating different programs.
Finally, you have to ensure that your credit record is good when you apply for a debt consolidation program. This will give you better chances of approval and of getting lower interest rate.


Just wash your hands with Dawn or similar dish soap prior to wicking. No break-in period, no funky tastes. Well worth the added expense if you ask me.. It's one of those things where you try it once and never look back.
I'm parched. Is it 5 o'clock yet?
Nice little addition to the man cave for a low price. Must be well-designed as it brings on feelings of thirst. If it weren't for the shiny new metal backing the 'weatherization' on this would be even more compelling. I spent the extra buck for the shipping box and was not disappointed upon receipt. Five stars to all concerned, would easily buy again.
Using mainly to froth milk for morning coffee but will also use for mixing DIY juice. The motor is rather powerful so I suggest pulsing the power on and off until you get a feel for it. The body is oversized, seemingly hollow and finished in a cheap plastic so it's not particularly pleasant to hold or use. However it's priced attractively, gets the job done and can be replaced at almost no expense. This might be one of those items that get placed in a cart every time I shop at FT as having multiples around the house will be helpful. Will post another review in regard to durability soon.
I'm used to seeing large objects on FT yet they somehow become much smaller than anticipated when in hand. This SKU is the opposite-much bigger than expected. Now if the object actually performed I could live with it but safety rather than size is the overriding concern. The dangerous part comes from the flimsy blade. It's sharp out of the box but so lightweight that the loose tobacco leaves stop it from spinning. Then it must be taken apart to repair. Also leaves the user with a two step process. A hand grind to help the lame device then it can maybe finish the job from there. Ultimately this can't earn its keep as you have to babysit a waste of space. God forbid you forget your place in the click sequence because you should expect no safety features. The blade will spin immediately after removing the blockage. Lacerations and stitches will be in your future if you lose focus during RYO because there ain't no deadman switch. My advice is to jam a screwdriver (not a tiny blue one Houdini) vertically into the blades to prevent spin. You'll feel a slight strain from the blade on the screwdriver if the device is still on. Save this SKU for your most absent-minded adversaries and look at hand-crank grinders instead. Your skin will appreciate it.

One of Aotearoa New Zealand's most perceptive artists, Laurence Aberhart is a photographer who makes images of the vanishing past in an accelerating world. It was Christchurch where he developed his eye for the scenes that later brought his work to international attention. These early photographs of ordinary suburban houses, abandoned shops, masonic lodges and long-lost fast-food joints - some of them now iconic, others unseen or little know - depict a city and a way of life that no longer exists.

After a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch on 22 February 2011 photographer David Cook returned to his former hometown and found that central city irreparably damaged. He was inspired to unearth his archive of 6000 photographs of the city he'd shot as a young man in his twenties, rebuilding through images the city as he remembered it. The photographs he selected reveal Christchurch in the 1980s - Cathedral Square, Centennial Pool, Lancaster Park, schoolboys, punks, nuns. Meet Me In The Square is a moving, nostalgic journey through the city we'll never see again.

Letters from WWII New Zealand Expeditionary Force 1940-1943 R.G. (Dick) Harris These letters are from Egypt, Greece, Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Italy: Dick Harris travelled huge distances in North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe. For more than three years he lived with bombing from the air and shelling fro the ground. He manoeuvred guns and ammunition, lived in slit trenches and tents, talked with people from other cultures, and learned the skills of radio operation. He was a quiet gentle person who liked his own company, read widely, enjoyed writing and painting. World War II brought adventure, exploration, companionship, challenges, hardship and loss. It changed his life forever. This is his story, told in his own words, and the story of many New Zealanders who set out to defeat tyranny and make the world a better place.

Starting as a De La Salle teaching Brother, he eventually became involved in smoothing the way for the integration of church schools into the state system, and doing his best to make sure all were dealt with fairly and equitably.

The poetry in David Eggleton's new collection possesses an intensity and driven energy, using the poet's recognisable signature oratory voice, strong in beat and measure, rooted in rich traditions of chant, lament and ode. Mashing together the lyrical and the slangy, celebrating local vernaculars while simultaneously plugged in to a global zeitgeist of technobabble and fake news, Eggleton recycles and 'repurposes' high visual culture and demotic aural culture. Edgeland offers a tragicomic and surreal skewering of the cons, swindles, posturings and flaws of damaged people on the make, dislocating the reader with high speed jinks and swerves. A satirical eye interrogates 'data', media bilge, opinion, social change, extreme experience, and worst-case-scenario extrapolations. A menagerie of vivid characters burst off the page – including the man who mistook the moon for a candy bar, instigators, prestidigitators, procurators, promulgators, Zorro and Governor Grey – alongside a survey of 35 types of beard, an ode to ooze, metadada, Gordon Ramsay's pan-sizzled bull's pizzle, a Baxterian moa, and various other waka jumpers hailing from Jafaville to Jack's Blowhole. Edgeland is a dazzling display of polychromatic virtuosity, teeming with irrepressible wordplay, startling imagery and anarchic wit, from one of New Zealand's best-loved poets

VANDER REALTY CO., INC. vs. FRANKLIN M. GABRIEL.
"to tender the entire consideration and accept conveyance . . . [by the time for passing papers] this agreement shall terminate and the seller may retain the . . . deposit as liquidated damages," and entitled the buyer to a return of the deposit.
CONTRACT. Writ in the District Court of Southern Norfolk dated October 31, 1953.
The action was heard by Grover, J.
Robert C. Capasso & Joseph F. Lyons, for the plaintiff.
Harry J. Webb, for the defendant.
SPALDING, J. In this action of contract the plaintiff seeks to recover a deposit made by it under an agreement to purchase certain real estate. The judge found for the defendant. From a decision of the Appellate Division dismissing a report, the plaintiff appealed.
The judge made detailed findings of facts which, the report states, "incorporate all the evidence at the trial." The facts pertinent to this appeal are these. On January 26, 1953, the parties entered into a written agreement for the sale by the defendant and the purchase by the plaintiff of eight lots of land in the town of Sharon. The purchase price was $8,000, of which $1,000 was paid by the plaintiff to the defendant upon the execution of the agreement. The agreement called for performance on or before June 15, 1953, but it contained a provision that "Either party may have thirty days extension to cure any defect found in title." The agreement also contained the following provisions: "If seller is prevented from performing by defect [of title] not caused by him, this agreement shall terminate and the seller shall return the deposit." "If the buyer fails to tender the entire consideration and accept conveyance of all the lots prior to June 15, 1953, this agreement shall terminate and the seller may retain the sums paid as a deposit as liquidated damages. . . . The seller agrees to tar surface of roadway to town . . . [specifications]."
neither did the plaintiff call upon him to do so before the expiration of the agreement or in any manner state that it was going to void the agreement because that had not been done. As far as observing the terms of the agreement went, both parties let the matter drop. Nothing further was done by either until after the plaintiff had the title examined in 1954. Why it caused the examination to be made at that late date did not appear. Then upon report of the examiner that the title was not marketable, which was so, the plaintiff demanded return of its deposit."
The judge concluded that "Since no defect [in the title] was called to the attention of the seller within the term of the agreement, he had no opportunity to exercise the right given him to cure it." He ruled that the plaintiff having failed "to tender the entire consideration and accept conveyance of all the lots prior to June 15, 1953," the agreement was terminated and the defendant was entitled under the agreement to retain the deposit as liquidated damages.
The plaintiff presented eleven requests for rulings and all but four were allowed. Of those not allowed the only one pertinent to the questions here argued is number 4 which reads: "A renunciation of the agreement, by declarations or inconsistent conduct, before the time for performance, may give cause for treating it as rescinded, and excuse the other party from making ready for performance on his part, or relieve him of necessity of offering performance in order to enforce his rights." With respect to this request the judge stated, "No action taken as not applicable to the facts found . . .." This was in effect a denial of the request. Mitchell v. Silverstein, 323 Mass. 239 , 240-241. The request, which was taken almost word for word from the leading case of Daniels v. Newton, 114 Mass. 530 , 533, is a correct statement of the law and should have been given unless it was not applicable to the facts found.
roadway which under the agreement he was obligated to do; that the promises in the agreement were mutual and dependent and the tarring of the roadway was a condition precedent to performance by the plaintiff; and that the failure to tar the roadway prior to the time of performance was a renunciation of the agreement by inconsistent conduct and relieved the plaintiff from the necessity of offering performance. It is apparent that the judge in failing to act on the plaintiff's fourth request and in finding for the defendant took the view that the promise to surface the roadway was not a condition precedent to the plaintiff's obligation to perform. We think that this was error and that the plaintiff was entitled to the requested ruling and to a finding in its favor on the facts found.
We are of opinion that the covenant of the plaintiff to pay the balance of the purchase price and the covenant of the defendant to tar the roadway were mutually dependent covenants and were to be performed not later than June 15, 1953. Tripp v. Smith, 180 Mass. 122 . In that case the plaintiff agreed to sell and the defendant agreed to buy a store. Under the agreement the plaintiff was to paint the store and to repair the roof of the piazza. When the time for performance arrived the defendant refused to accept a deed from the plaintiff because the plaintiff had not painted and repaired the store as he had agreed to do. The plaintiff sued for breach of contract. The trial judge found for the plaintiff and ruled that the plaintiff was not bound to paint and repair the store prior to the time of performance but could perform within a reasonable time thereafter. The defendant's exception to this ruling was sustained, the court holding that the covenants were mutually dependent and were both to be performed not later than the time stipulated for passing papers. We see no difference of substance between the covenant to paint and repair in that case and the covenant to tar the roadway in the case at bar. See annotations in 67 A. L. R. 809, 102 A. L. R. 852, 868, and 104 A. L. R. 1062.
is concurrent one party cannot put the other in default unless he is ready, able, and willing to perform and has manifested this by some offer of performance. Leigh v. Rule, 331 Mass. 664 , 668, and authorities cited. But as we said in that case "the law does not require a party to tender performance if the other party has shown that he cannot or will not perform" (page 668). Here at the time for performance the defendant had demonstrated his inability to perform by not having tarred the roadway as he had agreed to. No contention is made that the plaintiff waived this provision; and it did not lose the right to have it performed by not calling upon the defendant to do so prior to the date of performance. The plaintiff in these circumstances was not obliged to tender performance (Leonard v. Wheeler, 261 Mass. 130 ; Leigh v. Rule, 331 Mass. 664 , 669), and was entitled to rescind the contract and to the return of its deposit.
Finding for the defendant vacated.
Finding to be entered for the plaintiff in the amount of $1,000 with interest from the appropriate date.


Are you too busy to learn something new?
We get it. While new technology and communication tools have made it easier for us to become more productive, keep in touch with each other, and learn anywhere, it's also buried us with too many options.
Since there are so many things we can be doing at any one time, there never seems to be enough time in the day to learn a new skill, like how to speak Spanish, pick up a new hobby, or play the piano.
Luckily for us, there are amazing websites that already exist to help us learn something new without disturbing our busy schedules.
All of us have a skill that we can teach others, which means we can also learn from others. Skillshare has designed an entire company built on this concept.
