Many obsessivesweet posts have been dedicated to the whimsical and highly-skilled marzipan creations from the Fortunato Brothers Bakery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. (See past posts here). The marzipan is not only beautiful but incredibly delicious--my absolute favorite flavor and consistency out there. The bakery has outdone itself again with this perfectly recreated hamburger and french fries. There was spaghetti with red sauce in marzipan, as well, but I couldn't capture a good representational photo. Don't worry, I'll visit the bakery again soon. I can't stay away.
Note to self: Fortunato's next trip!

Running an ecommerce store can be tough, especially in the initial stages of the business. One of the biggest problems with ecommerce stores is that there are no universally-agreed-upon manuals for generating traffic and making sales. Therefore, if you want to attract more people to your online store, you'll have to follow the steps of experienced marketing professionals and turn to inbound marketing. So, instead of making hard-sell attempts, what you'll need to do is provide value and engage in two-way communication with your customers. And if you want to get your inbound marketing efforts right from day one, here are five tips you should take a closer look at.
Take a look at any successful store out there and chances are you'll notice they use a plenty of unique designs and layouts. However, there's much more to choosing the right visuals for a store. This is the case because shapes and colors tend to evoke an emotional response from consumers. This sure can be helpful but does the same rule apply when running an eCommerce business? Read on to find out.
Every new year is a new chance for business people to come up with some refreshing strategies that will keep them in the safe business waters. With the mixture of some new digital trends and the invasion of gadgets, it is clear that the virtual world has some surprises in the near future. So, let's see what the most propulsive branch of online business, the ecommerce, has prepared for 2016.


As some of you may know, I came up in the world of microcomputers, having had my earliest experiences with PC-DOS 3.21 on an IBM PC (yes, the 5150). I first started as a simple user, merely running programs and playing with them. My first foray into what you might–if you were feeling particularly generous–call programming was writing DOS batch files, augmented by small utilities assembled directly into memory using DEBUG.COM. At that point, I was only reading the assembly code out of books and magazines, and typing them into DEBUG's primitive user interface. What these strange PUSH and MOV and INT instructions were was still a mystery to me. I was nine years old.
After this, I dug out the elegantly-bound BASIC reference manual and started hacking away on simple programs in BASICA. I did this until I was about 14, when I got a 90MHz Pentium box with a whopping 16MB of RAM and Windows 3.11. By that time, I was familiar with CALL ABSOLUTE and using EXE2BIN. I got into Visual Basic programming somewhere in the neighborhood of v3, and started getting familiar with Turbo Pascal for Windows and dabbling with MFC apps in Visual C++ 1.0: VB3 compiled to threaded pseudocode; threaded in the sense that the binary output of the compiler was threaded with the interpreter that ran the code, and the interpreter was embedded in the compiled executable. VB3 also could not use Windows APIs that took callbacks as parameters, or APIs that used a technique called "subclassing", nor could VB3 generate DLLs. Suffice it to say that any VB3 programmer who wanted to develop any application of sufficient complexity would, at some point, resort to implementing a DLL in another, more capable language.
During my foray into VB3, 4, and 5–the latter of which finally got native code compilation and an "AddressOf" operator to support callbacks–I became intimately familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of the Windows operating system (3.1, 95, 98, and NT 4, specifically), as well as many obscure details of their internal implementations. Somewhere along the way, I became an avid fan of IBM's OS/2 Warp and Commodore's Amiga OS, and finally got into Linux in 1996, and various commercial UNIX implementations and the Macintosh after that. While I can say that many of these alternatives to Microsoft products are technically superior, and while IBM's OS/2 and DEC's OpenVMS have a slight edge for me over the others, I'll never swear allegiance to one operating system or family of operating systems to the exclusion of all others. I find them all to have their interesting or entertaining points. While I don't use Windows, other than for the occasional game of World of Warcraft, or when I'm called professionally to develop a Windows application, I try to be as accurate in my criticism of it as possible, and avoid blanket statements.
To that end, I want to address (and possibly dispel) a myth about the operating system family that many of my fellow geeks love to hate more than all others. You guessed it: Windows.
This myth pops up from time to time with several variants, ranging from "Windows doesn't have real multitasking" to "Windows only got real multitasking in version [insert Windows version here]", and for the most part, this is false.
Real mode: essentially used the processor of the machine as a fast 8086, with a 1MB address space, no virtual memory, or hardware multitasking. Task switching had to be "faked" purely in software. Introduced in Windows 1.0, and removed in Windows 3.1.
Standard mode: used the native mode of the rather braindead 80286 processor, even on 386 and higher systems. Increased the memory addressing capabilities of Windows applications and provided some degree of hardware support for memory protection. Could only run a single MS-DOS application under Windows, although Windows applications could be cooperatively multitasked. Introduced in Windows/286, removed in Windows 3.11.
386 Enhanced mode: used the protected mode of the 80386 and higher processors. The 80386 provided a "virtual 8086" feature to run multiple 16-bit processes in what amounts to a set of virtual machines while the CPU was in protected mode. Windows applications were still 16-bit, and executed in virtual 8086 mode, and disk and file access were still provided by DOS or system BIOS calls, also running in virtual 8086 mode, until Windows for Workgroups 3.11 introduced 32-bit disk, file, and network access, which essentially made that product a DOS replacement. Introduced in Windows/386, continued in essence until Windows Me.
These versions of Windows are mostly implemented in C and assembly language, are non-portable, intimately tied to Intel x86 hardware, do not support multiple threads, and do not support more than one CPU or CPU core in a system.
The other family of Windows operating systems is Windows NT, including Windows NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. The Windows NT family shares no code with the other Windows products, and its kernel was designed from the ground up by Dave Cutler, who also designed OpenVMS. The product line was fully 32-bit at its inception, later adding a 64-bit version. The NT kernel was designed for portability, having run not only on x86 CISC hardware, but also AXP, PowerPC, and MIPS RISC hardware. NT also supports multiple threads, as well as compatibility layers supporting the rudimentary APIs from the POSIX standard and OS/2 1.x.
So, what constitutes "real" multitasking?
Most computer geeks–myself included–would say that a true multitasking operating system should be "preemptive". This means that the operating system's scheduling algorithm may, at any time, suspend the currently-running process, save its state, and hand over control to another process. This is in contrast to "cooperative" multitasking, where the scheduler may only become involved when a process "yields". MacOS through version 9 and Windows 1.x-3.11 are all examples of cooperative multitasking systems. In Windows 1.x-3.x, this yielding is done by means of a particular system call included in every application's main event loop. Cooperative multitasking can work well only if application programmers are careful to yield, as one process failing to yield will irretrievably freeze all of the others, and the only way to recover is to reboot the entire computer. This approach does, however, make certain aspects of OS design easier: because each application must explicitly yield control to the scheduler, system call implementations never have to be designed as reentrant code (all system calls will have returned by the time the application yields control to the scheduler). This distinction is key to understanding some of the difficulties when we look at the multitasking implementation in Windows 95, 98, and Me, so do try to remember it.
Windows NT has used preemptive multitasking since its introduction, and its system calls have been reentrant from the beginning. We will not discuss it further here.
To untangle this thread, let's look at how the Windows API is structured. There are three main components to the Windows API, namely, KERNEL, USER, and GDI. KERNEL provides services like file access and memory management to application processes running in CPU ring three (least privileged). USER provides support for the common GUI elements, such as windows, text boxes, list boxes, and radio buttons. GDI (for Graphics Device Interface), provides device-independent 2D drawing primitives, font rendering, color management, and support for printing. They are all implemented as DLLs, or Dynamic Link Libraries. This is analogous to shared libraries in the Linux/UNIX world. The main considerations for these APIs to consider in regard to Windows 95's multitasking support are the "bit-ness" of the particular implementation, and their support for being reentrant. The thousands of API calls supported by these three libraries amounted to approximately an 800K memory footprint in Windows 3.11's 16-bit implementations thereof. Given that 16-bit Windows applications still had to run unmodified on Windows 95, and given a maximum memory footprint of about 3MB for the entire operating system, providing both 16-bit and 32-bit versions of these libraries would have been clearly impossible. Instead, the designers chose to provide something called the "flat thunk layer", which is essentially a thin set of shims allowing 32-bit code to call 16-bit code, and vice-versa. KERNEL did get the luxury of a fully 32-bit version, for many reasons (mostly involving memory management), but the 32-bit versions of USER and GDI were essentially shims calling into their 16-bit counterparts.
The difficulty at this point was that the 16-bit USER and GDI libraries were not reentrant code, and could not have been made reentrant without breaking backwards compatibility with existing 16-bit applications, and preemptive multitasking was a requirement for 32-bit applications.
So, the process scheduler for Windows 95 was indeed preemptive for 32-bit applications, and it could preempt the entire backwards-compatibility subsystem for running 16-bit applications, although doing so would require halting all such applications running on the system. However, as I mentioned before, all applications in Windows 95 call into 16-bit code when using functions from the USER or GDI libraries, and this code is not reentrant. So, Windows 95's solution is to set a mutex called Win16Mutex every time the scheduler hands control to a 16-bit process, so that 16-bit code can never be re-entered as a result of process preemption. When that call returned, the scheduler would clear the mutex.
This approach kept the memory requirements low, but also created an ugly hole where the benefits of preemptive multitasking could be completely lost: if any process crashed while Win16Mutex was set, no other processes could use the core APIs of the system, potentially causing just as bad of a freeze as a non-yielding application in a cooperative multitasking system. This was carried forward in Windows 98 and Windows Me, and is the cause of many of these three systems' stability problems. However, preemptive multitasking has been a part of even these rather mediocre operating systems for some time.
Hopefully, this article has been an interesting view into some challenges faced by engineers working for "the enemy" back in the late 1990s, and perhaps into operating system design considerations in general.
Even as far back as Windows 2/386, Windows has had preemptive multitasking – of a sort. Dos applications each get their own preemptive multitasking process, however Windows applications still coexist in a single cooperative process.


I grew up going to church nearly every Sunday yet did not become a follower of Christ until my Sophomore year at the University of West Georgia. Growing up, my view of God was that He was a distant ruler with a set of rules for mankind to follow. My view was that God drew near to those who followed His law well and was disappointed with those who did not. I tried to walk this line for much of my life, trying to be a moral person to keep favor with God. However, in late high school and into college, I became exhausted of trying and continually failing to do good. I resolved that God was displeased with my behavior and I would get right with God when I was older. I ran from God trying to find satisfaction anywhere I could. I adopted a wild way of life trying anything to attempt to find lasting happiness. Midway through my Sophomore year at UWG, I was invited to a Campus Outreach meeting at UWG on a Tuesday night. A student shared their testimony about the joy they felt from having a relationship with Christ, something I had never felt my entire life. I was curious. I met Caleb, a Campus Outreach staff member and began meeting with him weekly. He shared the gospel with me. My heart was deeply moved as I heard and read about how Jesus, though completely innocent, would willingly go to a cross for my sins to grant me eternal life. This completely wrecked my prior view of who God was as my eyes were opened to His mercy, grace, forgiveness, love, and goodness for the first time. After a few weeks of meeting with Caleb for bible study, I put my trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord of my life. Over the past couple years, the Lord has kindled a fire in my heart to see lost, confused, and searching college students like myself restored to relationship with their Heavenly Father through the good news of Jesus Christ.


Hello everyone! Today I want to talk with you about the evolution of women`s shoes. I think it is quite interesting and important to know, what have changed and what ideas have developed during these years. Hope you will like this information!
Really big and heavy boots were extremely popular during the war. Later a new type of shoes developed,that were much more suitable to factory work than the shoes worn previous to the war. Even shoes were wide toed, sturdy and comfortable.
When when the war was over, skirt lengths shortened and there was a sudden interest in what was on the feet. Decoration was added to all shoes. Women tried to make it as beautiful as possible, adding feathers, rosettes, fur, velvet ribbons, lace. By the end of the decade, buckles were only a functional detail.
In the twenties, the pointed toe became popular. Straps were added, and shoes became lighter and finer. Bar shoes became very popular with women, and were the most popular style of the decade. The most important thing is that they stayed on the foot while dancing.
The heel during the whole period remained the same - about two inches. The "Cuban heel" was still the most popular. In 1925, a more slender version, and in 1931, became known as the Spanish heel.
By the end of the decade, shoes were lighter, the shaping was more delicate, and there were infinite varieties of colours and fabrics.
The new tailored suit, which was fashionable for women's daywear, required new, more business like shoes. Heels became lower, broader, and more angular. Suede was accepted for use on sensible walking shoes.
But at the same time sneakers with rubber soles and linen uppers came into fashion, and were found to be comfortable and sturdy. The idea of a long-lasting shoe had to also be applied to eveningwear, however, and suede and kid replaced the silks and satins that had been popular early in the decade.
Black was the most popular colour for day shoes, but wine, maroon, and navy gradually established a foothold by the end of the decade.
Ankle high boots were a necessity for winter. These were usually made of suede, and were front laced.
The cork-soled, covered platform, and the wedge were high in fashion. However, during wartime the platform and the wedge were stripped of their covering, leaving the cork exposed.
For walking, low chunky heels and wedges with laced and buckled uppers were quite popular.
After the war and rationing ended, light revealing shoes appeared very swiftly. These gave very little support to the foot. In 1947-8, the shoes had a rounded shape; the toes being less chiselled. Wedge soles were still popular, but much thinner than during the war. Strapped shoes appeared, and all kinds of sandals and peep-toes reached a height of popularity after the long years of sensible footwear ended. Velvet, kid, coloured leathers, bright satins, and bronze (a burnished leather) were all popular.
Christian Dior began the Fifties' New Look, bringing the fashion world back to Paris, but the Italians were a formidable force in shoe fashion. In Italy's post-war boom, the shoe factories made many technical and design changes. The light, elegant sandal was the most distinctive creation of the Italians, and the race to slim down the heel began.
Women's shoes of the 1950's were arched, sophisticated and cut away to reveal the maximum of the foot. These were perched atop narrow delicate heels that only diminished in width as the decade wore on.
In 1950, heels for women were all fairly high. By 1954, however, there were a variety of heights for different occasions and times of day.
The stiletto heel arrived in 1955, with a heel so narrow it appeared pointed. This heel was added to court shoes and pumps, punching holes in sidewalks and hotel lobby floors all over New York until the fashion died out. It was still worn in 1960, but in a much lower and less dangerous form.
In the late 1950's, lower squat heels began to rival the stiletto, which had reached staggering heights. Flatties with no heel and a flimsy sole were also popular, but mostly for indoors or for wear with trousers.
The spool heel, so called because of its resemblance to a thread spool, was very popular in 1952, and although its large diameter went out of fashion quickly, the circular heel shape remained.
In 1955, Givinchy introduced a new shaped court shoe cut straight across the instep, and called it the opera pump. This pump had a lower heel and a wider toe.
Sandals and mules were still important in the 1950's. In 1951 the mules and sling back sandals showed the heel of the foot.
At the beginning of the decade, colour and fabric were of little importance to shoe fashion. Shape was everything. The fabric was usually a smooth leather or soft suede in black or brown. For evening, colours were brighter and the uppers were usually of satin.
In 1954, a craze for all things Oriental hit the west, and Turkish slippers in deep hues appeared. These were often embroidered and decorated with gold beads. Though the craze quickly died, the colours and fabrics of the 1955 lines show how influential the mood had been.
For schoolgirls, the Mary Jane was a very popular style. The shoe had a low heel, and usually had an ankle strap.
Hope you liked this information! Have a nice day!

Q: Why would only some js libraries load in with Symfony2/Twig? Attempting to load in multiple js libraries.  Using either method bellow, the bootstrap and facebook js files load in fine, but any other libraries I add either throw a 500 error if called by name or simply do not load in if using /*  The files are all in the same directory with the same permissions as far as I can tell.  Why would this be happening and how can I fix it?
Method 1:
{% javascripts
        'bundles/onnbrun/js/*'
        %}
        <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}

Method 2:
{% javascripts
        'bundles/onnbrun/js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js'
        'bundles/onnbrun/js/jquery-ui-1.9.0.js'
        'bundles/onnbrun/js/bootstrap.min.js'
        'bundles/onnbrun/js/facebook_enable.js'
        %}
        <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}

UPDATE #1:
Using the @Bundle syntax suggested below I am able to run php app/console assetic:dump without error; however, when I attempt to go to app_dev.php in a browser I get the error:
An exception has been thrown during the compilation of a template ("Unable to find file "@ONNBrunBundle/js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js".") in "ONNBrunBundle::web.html.twig".
I am able to view the file located in my bundle's Resources/public/js directory through my ide and through putty.
UPDATE #2:
On advice from lee in #symfony tried routing to my js directory in my browser and voila! only the two js files that have been serving properly the whole time are there - nothing else.
So... /www/src/ONN/BrunBundle/Resources/public/js shows me all the js files I'm trying to serve when I look at it through putty or through my ide or through any random ftp program; however, /web/bundles/onnbrun/js/ in a browser shows only the two js files that serve correctly.
I have run assetic:dump and assetic:dump --env=prod --no-debug with no errors.
I have run cache:clear.
I don't know what could be causing the discrepancy.

A: case 1)
your files are stored in a bundle
If it's the case, use the code below
{% javascripts
        '@YourBundle/Resources/public/js/*'
        %}
        <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}

case 2)
Your files are stored in your root web directory under a js directory (not a bundle directory)
{% javascripts
        'js/*'
        %}
        <script type="text/javascript" src="{{ asset_url }}"></script>
{% endjavascripts %}

Final step
dump your file
php app/console assetic:dump --env=prod --no-debug

What exactly does "best" mean? It doesn't mean you have a lot of followers or you make like ten projects a day (although it can include these things) but it means that you are really kind, and give plenty of constructive feedback. It means that you are helpful, and you share your knowledge with others, and finally you ALWAYS try your hardest.
This is a studio for Scratchers who are creative, involved in the community.

Trump to meet Johnson in UK: White House
Sunday, 01 December 2019 10:51 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 01 December 2019 10:58 AM ]
US President Donald Trump (R) and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson (File photo)
US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will meet during an upcoming NATO summit this week, a White House official says.
The official said Saturday that the two had talked on the phone, in which Trump expressed his condolences to Johnson over the London Bridge attack.
Judd Deere, White House deputy press secretary and special assistant to the president, said on Twitter that "the two leaders look forward to meeting with one another" at the NATO summit to be held in the UK.
Today, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump spoke w/@10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson of the United Kingdom. The President expressed his condolences following the terrorist attack in London. The two leaders look forward to meeting with one another at the upcoming @NATO Leaders Meeting in the UK.
— Judd Deere (@JuddPDeere45) November 30, 2019
The US president is set to visit Buckingham Palace for a reception on Tuesday. He is scheduled to join world leaders in Watford the following day for the NATO meeting.
Trump is to face tens of thousands of protesters after he arrives in London as doctors, nurses and other workers of the National Health Service are planning to gather outside the Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
The protesters are planning to highlight potential risks to the NHS in a future US-UK trade deal after Trump said in his last visit to the UK in June that "everything is on the table" – including the NHS – in trade talks with Britons.

With the launch of Evolve: Stage 2, you may be wondering what "Founder Status" is.
Long story short, Founder Status is a special status created to thank and reward those Evolve players who owned the game and supported us before the game staged up.
Going forward, Founders will receive special in-game items, currency, and other goodies.
Starting out, Founders will receive the following in Evolve: Stage 2.
If you aren't a Founder (read: You didn't previously own Evolve on PC), you'll start fresh and have to unlock the game's content as you go.
You can see a more detailed breakdown of what Founders will receive over here at the official Evolve site.
We've got a few comments about not having Founder Status being granted. If you're having any issues with your Founder Status, here are some things to check before reporting any issues to 2K Support.
Make sure you have Founder Status checked in your Steam client. The image below shows where this can be found. If it isn't checked, make sure you click the box to make sure your Founders status is 'on' and it should update in game. If not be sure to send a ticket over to my2K Support to try and resolve the issue.

Automate video capture for screencasting using Epiphan AV.io HD
Although lectures are usually given before a live audience, it is a popular and effective practice to record educational content for on-demand viewing over the Internet. Lecture management systems are used for configuring, managing and publishing captured lectures. Content can be managed in meaningful manner with tagging, chaptering, automatic transcripting, and increased searchability of the web lectures.
The solution had to be automated, flexible, simple to use, and had to work across multiple operating systems and devices.
When discussing distance education, it is difficult to overestimate the effectiveness of screencasting. A screen recording usually is accompanied by an audio commentary done by the screencaster. Screencasting presents great opportunities for low-cost, highly effective training.
The Classroom Support Services' Information Technology Group (CSSITG) at the University of Washington has created a centrally managed, automated lecture management approach to capturing, encoding and delivering rich digital video lecture content to the web. Epiphan's AV.io HD* video grabber is part of the solution.
David Aldrich, Assistant Director of the CSSITG department, oversaw the initiative to streamline the process of capturing multiple content sources and delivering these to the web. Among the requirements he set out, the solution had to be automated, flexible, simple to use, and had to work across multiple operating systems and devices.
Aldrich notes that, in addition to the other challenges faced, "Video screen capture of presentation material, often from multiple input sources, presents a challenge. The solution captures the VGA signal sent from the presenter's computer display to the classroom's data projector by using the video grabber. It can digitize analog video signals from a variety of sources such as a Windows PC, Macintosh OSX, a Linux machine, a document camera, a medical device, or other scientific lab equipment. The results are high-resolution JPEG images."
The frames captured by this HDMI, DVI and VGA to USB capture device are later produced into a screen cast lecture that includes audio and video.
Full details about the CSSITG group's research into a solution and pilot programs can be read here: Download PDF white paper.
More about AV.io HD
AV.io HD is a compact pocket sized, external, low cost DVI to USB, HDMI to USB and VGA to USB video grabber capture device capable of capturing output from virtually any VGA, or DVI source and any non-encrypted HDMI source (including HDMI audio) —such as a Windows PC, a Macintosh OSX, a Unix machine, an embedded system, a medical device, scientific or lab equipment, and more.
*This implementation initially used VGA2USB, but AV.io HD is a drop-in replacement that supports better resolution, better frame rate and adds support for DVI and HDMI capture!

To become an easyMoney investor you will be required to sign up to our platform services via the 'registration' page. Click on the 'Get started' option in the main menu of our website.
As part of our due diligence process, you will be asked to provide us with some personal details and may need to provide forms of identification such as a valid driving license or passport.
The target return is the interest rate targetting to achieve on loans in a portfolio. There will typically be periods during which your money will be held in cash before we are able to fully allocate it to loans (known as "cash drag").
This can happen both when you invest initially and once a loan is repaid and we need to re-invest the proceeds. The actual rate of return will also be adversely affected if there are any defaults or if you have to pay tax on the interest you receive.
Any changes to the current target rates will be advertised on our website.
Your money enters a queue, with other P2P lenders, awaiting a match with P2P borrowers. We aim to invest your portfolio within 30 days, but this is not guaranteed. You will start earning interest as soon as each loan commences.
You can check the status of the loans and your cash position on your 'My Portfolio' page.
Your money may start off being lent against a single loan, but we try to diversify you across a number of loans as quickly as possible. The precise number of loans across which we will diversify your investment will depend on market conditions.
You can view the actual P2P loans and cash held in your portfolio at any time via the 'My Portfolio' page.
Interest is paid on the 15th of each month. You may choose to have the interest paid to your bank account, re-invested into new loans or simply left in your easyMoney account until such time as you decide what you wish to do with the proceeds.
easyMoney assesses each loan application made by a borrower on the basis of track record, credit-worthiness and the value of the assets used as security for the loan.
As experienced property lenders and real estate investors, we understand the property business and look at the fundamentals of the opportunity to assess the risks on a loan by loan basis.
Once we have a good understanding of the purpose of the loan application and how we will be repaid, we will undertake detailed due diligence on the company, its directors, and the asset used as security for the loan.
All valuations are generally undertaken by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyor's (RICS) valuer. Valuations are the Valuer's opinion of the value at date of the valuation.
On bridge loans, we lend a maximum of 75% of the value of a property.
On development loans, we lend a maximum of (1) 75% of the current value of the property, plus (2) 100% of construction costs. Total lending under (1) and (2) (including all interest, fees and other costs) is capped at 70% of the anticipated Gross Development Value (namely the price that the valuer anticipates the developed property will sell for).
You can request to sell some or all of your loans at any time, but the ability to sell is dependent on the availability of willing buyers and the loan must have a history of consistent performance with at least 3 months left on the loan term. If there are no willing buyers, you will have to wait for your repayment until the borrower repays or, in the event of default, that we conclude the recovery process.
Yes. Every loan on the easyMoney platform is secured with a legal charge on the property.
You can send a payment to us directly by telegraphic transfer, standing order or from your high street bank. Just quote our account details provided when you specify the amount you wish to invest and we will notify you when we have received the cleared funds and they are ready for investment.
Before you invest we encourage you to read through our 'Understanding the Risks' page on our website for more details on the risks involved in investing on the lending platform.
Any interest earned as a result of the invested loans (other than as a result of the IFISA), is regarded as income and could potentially be subjected to income tax.
However, under the recent Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) regulations, you can earn between £500 and £1000 tax-free per year. This is dependent on your tax status.
https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates/current-rates-and-allowances for the current income tax rates and https://www.gov.uk/apply-tax-free-interest-on-savings for current UK savings allowances.
Please speak to a tax adviser if you require information about the effect of taxation on your personal circumstances.
Tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and the basis of taxation under tax legislation is subject to change in the future.
The Personal Savings Allowance permits you to earn a certain amount of income each year, tax-free.
How much tax relief you are entitled to depends on your individual circumstances and tax payer status.
For basic rate tax payers, who earn less than £43,000 per tax year, the entitlement is up to a maximum of £1000 per tax year.
For higher rate tax payers, who earn between £43,000 and £150,000 per tax year, the entitlement is up to a maximum of £500.
easyMoney will ascertain all the facts in relation to a missed payment, and proactively work with borrowers to bring the loan back to a performing status.
If the delay results in a non-payment of interest then easyMoney may, at its own discretion, continue to pay investors their due interest out of our own funds up to a maximum of 2 months.
A borrower may require some flexibility when repaying the loan. This could be as a result of a delay in selling the property.
In this event, easyMoney will review the facts and may, at its absolute discretion, extend the duration of the loan or if sufficient security is available enter into a new loan facility. In the event that neither of the above options is agreed and the borrower has missed two monthly payments, we will declare the loan as being in default.
If the borrower chooses to repay the loan early, easyMoney will return your investment with the outstanding interest owed to you.
We will then re-invest the proceeds into one or more new P2P loans on your behalf, unless you have indicated that you wish to withdraw the money.
Once the loan is invested, the borrowers will not be required to pay back the money before the end of the agreed term. If you wish to access your cash earlier, we will offer to sell your P2P loan to other lenders. You can ask us to do this at any time.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to find a new lender to buy your loan within a given time period, however, we would expect this to be completed within a reasonable time period.
In the event that there is insufficient demand, you may be required to wait until the loan is fully repaid.
If your portfolio contains any non-performing loans, or loans due to be redeemed within 3 months, we will not sell these until they have been fully redeemed, in order to protect other lenders from the increased risks of investing in these types of loans.
The maximum loan-to-value ratio (LTV) we permit on P2P loans is 75%. This means we would not lend more than £750,000 against a property valued at £1,000,000, leaving a margin of £250,000 to cover payments due to you, the costs associated with selling the property and any other outstanding liabilities.
The sale value will be the total amount owing to you at that point.

Board Briefs: June 18, 2020
Jun 22, 2020 | Board Briefs
Trustees adopted a budget for the 2020-21 school year, approved a hazardous routes bus service plan for students living within 2 miles of their assigned school, and considered scenarios for opening the next school year during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic.
Watch the June 18, 2020 Board meeting | Review the agenda.
Trustees ask for clarity, continued focus on choice in opening for 2020-21 school year
The district presented scenarios for opening the 2020-21 school year with options for families to choose between an in-person and blended approach to school, as well as an option to learn at home with the Virtual Empowered Learning program.
While final decisions are being discussed and considered, the district does expect to start school on Aug. 13.
"With so much uncertainty and facing scenarios where families are going to have to face high stress, I think it's critical we communicate effectively about what to expect," Board President Trish Bode said.
After finishing the 2019-20 school year in emergency remote learning, the district is prepared to launch a more refined, virtual option to include more live and self-paced learning, a numerical grading system and a return to grade-point average calculations at high school.
Trustees asked to speak about the 2020-21 opening plan again during their special called meeting on June 25. The district plans to announce a recommendation by July 17 for opening the next school year.
During the discussion, Trustees questioned, commented, and expressed concern regarding vulnerable and immunocompromised families, apprehensive teachers and staff, requirements for personal protective gear and thresholds for closing in the event of a positive test. The discussion also took place just hours after news reports released the state's plan to open schools in the fall without requiring temperature checks or masks for students.
The state expects to set further guidelines regarding re-opening next week.
Trustees approved budget to fund growth, lower class size rations, and expand to full day PreK
Lower student-teacher ratios, a new school, and a program to expand PreK highlight a 2020-21 budget Trustees approved Thursday night.
After weeks of trimming down budget requests to allow for more long-term stability and flexibility with uncertain funding contributions from the state, LISD will operate with a $379.8 million operational budget, a 5% increase over the 2019-20 amended budget, to serve approximately 1,500 more students, a 44th school in Danielson Middle School, and the growth of PreK to a full-day program.
"I believe in the excellence Leander ISD provides students," Superintendent Bruce Gearing, Ed.D. said. "I believe in the support we provide students for their social and emotional needs. Our job is to continue to provide a level of excellence our community expects. Thank you to our Board and finance team for continuing to plan in the best interest of students and learning."
The Board approved a compensation plan that increases the employer contribution to health benefit plans so employees won't realize increases to insurance premiums. A year after approving historic raises of more than 7% for teachers and 4% for other employees, Trustees adopted a compensation plan that provides all employees the equivalent of a 2% pay increase in a single, lump sum in the fall, contingent upon enrollment and economic conditions.
Thanks to the district's history of stellar financial planning and the foundation of a healthy fund balance, the district is in a good position to withstand a short-term budget shortfall that may come from the state's biennium.
As part of the trimming of the budget, the district did not fund out-of-district travel for professional development or training outside of the district, including training and travel for Board members.
Trustees also approved budgets for debt service and child nutrition, totaling $507.5 million.
The Board will set a tax rate later this summer, estimated to be reduced by two pennies per hundred dollar value.
Community speaks out about equity and diversity report
One week after the district presented a report on equity and diversity, teachers, parents, and students spoke out about incidents of racism and discrimination. The district will pick up the conversation during a special meeting on June 25. While preparing a complete action plan to address the report's recommendations, the district is expanding its equity task force and training of staff on racial equity and cultural responsiveness.
Board approved debt plan to reduce total CABs, fund capital projects from Bond 2017
Trustees authorized the issuing of $104.4 million of bonds to fund building renovations, security upgrades, technology, buses, construction of Tarvin Elementary School, and design funding for Elementary School 29 and the access road to Vandegrift High School. In their action, the Board also authorized a restructuring of debt, thus reducing the percentage of capital appreciation bonds (CABs) in the district's debt portfolio to 25% by 2025.
New meal prices coming based on USDA rules
As a result of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy regarding meal prices, LISD will increase all student lunch prices by $0.10 and adult lunches by $0.25 for the 2020-21 school year. This price increase does not impact students on the free or reduced lunch programs.
Board approves Hazardous Routes
Trustees approved a hazardous routes plan that continues service for 24 routes and discontinues service for 18 routes. Per state law, districts providing bus service to students living within two miles of their assigned schools must create a scoring system to evaluate routes and approve the routes for hazardous service each year.
The following neighborhoods have routes that will be discontinued:
the Catalina Ranch subdivision for Akin Elementary School and Stiles Middle School;
Mason Creek, Trails at Leander, and Magnolia Creek subdivisions for Camacho Elementary School;
the Shenandoah subdivision for Naumann Elementary School;
the Benbrook Ranch subdivision north of Halsey Rd. for Plain Elementary School;
the Leander Crossing subdivision for Pleasant Hill Elementary School;
the River Place subdivision for homes on River Place Blvd. and Big View Dr. at River Place Elementary School;
the Meritage Apartments for Steiner Ranch Elementary School;
the Westside at Buttercup Creek subdivision for Westside Elementary School;
Mason Hills and Connelly's Crossing subdivisions for Whitestone Elementary School;
Headlands, Fairways, and Belcara Monterrey subdivisions for Canyon Ridge Middle School;
the Cypress Canyon subdivision for Cedar Park High School; and
Benbrook Ranch and Benbrook Ranch North subdivisions for Glenn High School.

Used-car market poised for a bigger share of the action
Look for the used-car market to account for more vehicle sales this year. Despite predictions that 2001 new-car sales will drop by about one million units to about 16.3 million compared to 2000, the used-car market probably will gain ground. That's according to Manheim Auction's sixth annual Used Car Market Report, released at the NADA Convention in Las Vegas. If the projections for a softening economy
Steve Finlay | Mar 01, 2001
Look for the used-car market to account for more vehicle sales this year.
Despite predictions that 2001 new-car sales will drop by about one million units — to about 16.3 million — compared to 2000, the used-car market probably will gain ground.
That's according to Manheim Auction's sixth annual Used Car Market Report, released at the NADA Convention in Las Vegas.
"If the projections for a softening economy are indeed true, we'll see the used-vehicle side take on even more importance," says Tom Webb, Manheim's chief economist and author of the report.
He adds, "Traditionally, when times get a little tougher, the focus — for dealers and consumers alike — moves to used cars."
Recent years have been great for both new- and used-vehicle sales.
In 2000, new-car sales hit 17.4 million units, used-car sales, 41.7 million units. Those transactions reached a record $744 billion — $380 billion for new vehicles, $363 billion for used.
Strong new-car sales and leasings in recent years have moved many prime vehicles into the used-car market. Moreover, scrappage is less for older units because they're staying on the road longer due to quality advancements.
"Selling 17.4 million new vehicles in 2000 means that 17.4 million units need to be remarketed," notes Mr. Webb.
Used-vehicle prices are relatively flat, he says, while new-vehicle prices have effectively declined — if incentives and more value-added standard equipment are factored in.
Inflated residual predictions on leased vehicles of late isn't evidence of a weakness in used-car prices, says Mr. Webb.
"Because someone setting a residual said three years earlier that a vehicle would be worth $25,000 coming off lease, and, in fact, it turned out to be $22,000 doesn't mean the price is weak," he says. "It means someone set a wrong residual."
He predicts that within two or three years, residuals will be more in line with actual market values as residual setters become less aggressive in their predictions.
If the used-vehicle market indeed accounts for a larger share of vehicle transactions this year, Manheim Auctions is poised for the added action, says its new president and CEO, Dean Eisner.
Manheim plans to spend $200 million in 2001 to upgrade, expand and build auctions. That's double what Manheim averaged annually for the last five years, says Mr. Eisner.
About 3.3 million vehicles are coming off-lease this year, and Mr. Webb expects 62% will go to auctions.
Overestimated residuals contribute to that, because usually "neither the dealer nor the customer wants to take possession of an over-residualized car coming off lease," says Mr. Webb.
Up the road, he anticipates a slight decrease of vehicles going to auction as the gap narrows between forecasted residuals and actual values, thus increasing the likelihood of customers or dealers taking possession of off-lease vehicles.


An American website providing eBooks and digital versions of rare and old books needed to capture and convert scanned very old books into the PDF format.
The scanned PDFs of books were in very delicate state and had yellowed pages with blur texts due to aging.
Since these were very rare books, we had to ensure that they were not further damaged during the scanning process.
The TAT for the task was very short as the client wanted to upload the captured data it at its earliest as they were much sought after by the academic community.
We did manual capture of data from scanned PDF files as OCR techniques were not viable due to the bad condition of scanned copies.
We kept the size of the team rather large so that the project can be turned around quickly.
A team of fifty professionals worked on the project and accomplished it completely to the satisfaction of our client.
We did quality checks and audits by our data specialist team to have error free output as per the client's requirement.
Whole process was done manually due the bad condition of scanned pages, though we used applications to omit grammar and punctuation mistakes.

10 Ways to SHIFT $300 Billion for the Planet
Green America today called on all Americans to take "The Green Economy Challenge" to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day.

American households spend approximately $3 trillion per year on expenditures that could easily be greened. If Americans directed just one tenth of these expenditures to purchasing from a green or local business, it would steer $300 billion towards more sustainable consumption.

STARRED REVIEW
Daring debut story collection from a rising talent
Danielle Evans
Review by Lauren Bufferd
Danielle Evans' book of eight stories, Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self, is long anticipated. Her first story, "Virgins," was published in the Paris Review and then selected for The Best American Stories 2008. "Virgins" is a quietly devastating tale of two teenage girls navigating the rocky road to adulthood. Bored and loaded with bad choices, the girls go clubbing, and Erica leaves her friend in a risky position while she herself opts for a more benign, but still unsavory, introduction to sex. Written with what readers can now see is Evans' characteristic insight, humor and craftsmanship, this story is just one of the gems in a polished collection.
Evans takes as her subject people in transition: adolescents, children split between divorced parents, college graduates drifting between partners and jobs. Erica in "Virgins" is a prototype for several of the other young women who appear in these pages—independent but longing for connection, educated but not savvy enough to avoid the hurts of love and life. In "Wherever You Go, There You Are," the narrator wonders if and how she will be able to move on after an evening spent being purposely cruel to her old lover's fiancé. In "Jellyfish," William mulls over his planned move from Harlem to Brooklyn as he runs late to a monthly lunch with his adult daughter, Eva. Waiting in the restaurant, Eva craves her father's attention but when he finally arrives, full of plans for a new apartment that could accommodate both father and daughter, all he can feel is her resistance.
Evans' characters are African-American or mixed race. They live in a country where the barriers of race and class may be harder to distinguish than in previous decades, but societal challenges are ever present. Situations may have changed, but perceptions and self-esteem have not.
This is evident in "Harvest," a story about a group of college girls joking and laughing about ads in the campus paper offering students high prices for human eggs. Though the chatter is light, the girls know that even their middle-class backgrounds and Ivy League educations won't make their eggs desirable. What seems like a casual evening in the dorm becomes a powerful meditation on race and class, value and commerce. Similarly, in "Snakes," a biracial girl spends the summer with her disapproving white grandmother whose attempts at scaring her with stories of deadly snakes in the lake leads to a terrible accident and a life-changing lie.
In the final story, "Robert E. Lee is Dead," brainy high school cheerleader Cee Cee jeopardizes her graduation and college career with an act of senseless vandalism. She is abetted by Geena, a classmate with less academic options but whose popularity and friendship supported Cee Cee through high school. Cee Cee makes a decision in order to save herself, but it is one for which she may end up paying dearly.
Moral ambiguity is explored beautifully in the best of these stories as well as the deeply felt moments of choice and regret. Evans is young to be so wise, but that youth is to the reader's benefit; she is a writer we hope to be hearing from for a long time.

HTML 5 Open Source Data Grid

This is the datagrid the community has needed for a very a long time. This will be entirely developed from scratch. However there will be a lot of features leveraged from the following datagrids:

Handsontable

Slickgrid

Sencha ExtJS Datagrid

Vaadin Grid

The most important aspects of this project are:

Free

Community Supported and Developed

Responsive

Large Data Set Capability

Unit Testable

Automated Builds

This will be a daunting task just to get version 1.0.0 out of the door and into the market by January 1, 2017. I have faith in the people that I bring aboard this project that we can get this done on-time with the proper checks in place.  Eventually at the end of the day I hope I can walk away and this project continue to evolve into something that the community takes on itself. As a software developer we all have a responsibility to give something to the community. This is my personal gift to the world and I hope that it becomes something that even I cannot imagine.


The spike in the NEPOOL price, discussed in the article, was evident in the IESO's monthly comparison of "control area" pricing, for January, shown in the chart above; Ontario's IESO was not the lowest priced jurisdiction for the first time since the summer of 2010 - edging the US Midwest ISO (MISO) area where coal is the most common price setter.
Ontario is an exporter during the winter months this year, as it has been for a number of winters. Many of those exports feed into the US directly, and the export into Quebec allows for coincidental exports from Quebec into the US.
The 2500+ MW of coal capacity Ontario will shut at the end of 2012 is one more reason to expect tighter gas supplies and higher electricity prices in New England next winter - and another reason the MISO area may expect to start to see the same difficulties New England is already experiencing.


I get home from work pretty early in the day, and sometimes I'm just bored. I don't want to waste my precious time before dinner watching TV, but sometimes I just don't know what to do. Do you ever get that bored feeling when you want to do something, but you can't think of anything to do? I'm sharing a list of things that sometimes get me out of that bored funk.

Newton Residents Debate Parking Regulations on Grove Street at Traffic Council Meeting
By Shruthi Sriram
Newton residents were vocal during discussions of parking regulations on Grove Street and a stop sign request on Exeter Street at the Sept. 15 Traffic Council meeting.
The Newton Traffic Council meets monthly to discuss parking regulations, safety zones, and stop sign requests in the city. Most requests were approved without much public comment at the Thursday meeting, but motions TC43-22 and TC46-22 sparked vibrant conversation.
Jill Charney, a Grove Street resident, requested that the city restrict parking along the west side of Grove Street and between Moulton Street and Colgate Road, while allowing parking on the east side of Grove Street.
Charney said that only three cars would regularly park on the west side of the street until National Development, a real estate development firm, moved into the area about 20 years ago, and the firm's employee parking began to overflow onto the street.
The existing policy is that the parking on the east side is restricted between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.—when the firm's employees show up to work—discouraging them from overflowing onto Grove Street, according to Mark Golden, another resident.
Charney proposed that parking be restricted to the first three street signs on the street's east side, and that open parking be allowed on both sides after that.
Golden said the existing policy has worked for 20 years and that creating open parking on the east side while restricting the west would only bring more overflow parking onto the street. Since Grove Street is a one-way street, opening the east side—the right-hand side of the road—would inevitably invite overflow parking there, according to Golden.
Restricting parking on the west side would also cause other inconveniences for the neighbors, Golden said.
"This makes it difficult when we have an electrician or a plumber or guest come visit our house, or when a neighbor forgets to move their car in the morning and we get ticketed," Golden said.
David Koses, the city's transportation coordinator and traffic council chair, suggested that the city completely restrict parking on the west side while opening up the east.
"I think we should do something simple," Koses said. "Again, I don't understand what the problem is to have cars parked on a public street."
The council also discussed the possibility of issuing resident parking permits, but the idea received mixed responses from the councilors.
The council passed a motion to hold the item for further discussion.
TC44-22 requested the addition of a stop sign on the intersection of Exeter Street and Berkeley Street, where there is an existing T-stop sign. Koses said that while the Traffic Council usually approves this type of request, it might reject it if there is strong public opinion against it.
Isaac Prizant, a transportation engineer of the Department of Public Works, said there were zero reported crashes at the location in the past five years.
Resident Thomas Riley opposed the stop sign installation, saying it would clutter the area and that he has not experienced any safety issues at the location.
"I've had three children that have always crossed that street down to Peirce Elementary School, and I walk my dog down that street, and there has never ever been a problem," Riley said.
After much discussion, the council approved the request with a vote of four ayes and one abstaining. Koses also explained the appeals process to the attendees, saying that they could file one if they feel strongly against the sign.

Rings of Wisdom and Light
(Redirected from Ring of Light)
The Obey Me Wiki needs more information on this page! Can you help us? Please click here to add more.
Ring of Light
The Ring of Wisdom and the Ring of Light are two powerful magical rings that were likely created in the Celestial Realm, given that each were originally in the possession of Michael and Lucifer respectively. The Ring of Wisdom is first mentioned in Lesson 29, and the Ring of Light first mentioned in Lesson 37.
1 Ring of Wisdom
1.2.1 Main Story and Events
2 Ring of Light
Ring of Wisdom[edit]
As Solomon explains in Lesson 29-5, the Ring of Wisdom is a powerful magical ring made from brass and iron that was given to Solomon by Michael long ago. The ring grants Solomon the power to control demons.
Story[edit]
Note: this section may include spoilers.
Main Story and Events[edit]
In Lesson 2-2, if MC asks Solomon if he really is a human, he mentions that people tell stories about him being gifted the Ring of Wisdom from "a certain someone" a long time ago, and that he used it to form pacts with 72 different demons due to being "drunk on its power." Most — if not all — of that is true, despite his dodgy phrasing.
Later, in Lesson 29-5, Solomon goes into more detail about the Ring of Wisdom. He explains to MC that it gives him the ability to control multiple demons at once, which Diavolo states in Lesson 37-9 is an extremely difficult task, even for someone as powerful as Solomon is. Controlling multiple demons causes an immense strain on both a human's body and mind, but that strain is diminished somewhat with the use of the ring.
Ring of Light[edit]
According to Diavolo in Lesson 37-9, the Ring of Light is the counterpart to the Ring of Wisdom. It originally belonged to Lucifer, who lost the ring during the Great Celestial War.
In Lesson 37-9, after having explained that MC's connection to all three worlds provided them with power that surpasses even Solomon, Diavolo stated that the only magic item in existence that could help MC control said powers was the Ring of Light. Without it, MC's immense, but unstable powers had a negative impact on the three worlds, and caused destructive phenomena. Simeon suspected that Michael had been keeping the Ring of Light safe in his possession. This turned out to be true, as he was able to take the ring and give it to MC in Lesson 38-15.

Q: Revit Api: Can not edit joined walls LocationCurve I have a Revit model that contains a series of wall joined together and I want to edit their location. After trying the solution here
http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/blog/2010/08/edit-wall-length.html
it happens that I can only apply the modification to a single wall element but not a group of walls joined together. I always receive the error message that my walls (right after I commit my modification) can not be joined, and all the walls can not be re-created except the last one from my modified wall list.
If I modify them all then commit the change instead of commit right after each modification, all of the wall are reported can not be re-created.
I suspect that the walls are un-joined and/or overlapped after the change, but that is not possible from my modification data and my debug info.
What is the cause of the problem and how to fix it?

A: You can unjoin a wall by setting its LocationCurve JoinType property.
