The Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial, Ballarat

9th Anniversary Service, Sunday 10 February 2013

Speech by Anthony Hill

It is a privilege for me to be speaking to you today at this 9th Anniversary Service of The Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial here in the lovely Ballarat Botanical Gardens. I do thank you for the kind words of introduction both for myself and most especially on behalf of Billy Young, one of more than 36,000 ex-POWs honoured at this memorial, and the subject of my most recent book.

Billy was present at the opening service, I believe. I was talking to him the other day, and he asked me to pass on his warmest good wishes to the directors and trustees … to his old comrades-in-arms from the 8th Division … to all who may remember him.

Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial, Ballarat,

Billy was only 16 when he was captured at the fall of Singapore in 1942 and interned at Changi. He’d told the great lie at 15 and said he was 19. He gave the name of a fictitious aunt on the consent form. She still appears as his next of kin on the official records. Martha Young. He says it was the only female name he knew how to spell.

He was still a kid. ‘Billy the Kid’ as he was known to the older men who looked after him. But he was still sent to Sandakan in Borneo with B Force, from which he escaped with his mate MP Brown, eight months later.

They were free for only a couple of hours before they were betrayed and caught … beaten senseless by the prison camp thugs … kept in the cages at Sandakan … interrogated by the dreaded Kenpeitai with their tortures and knotted ropes … sent to Kuching … and sentenced to four years solitary confinement in the notorious Outram Road prison in Singapore.

Outram Road, where the stench of death and human misery seeped through the very stones. Forced to sit cross-legged all day – silent, thirsty, starving – in a cell all of six feet wide. You could touch the walls. Feel them closing in. And all the time the dominant thought was “If only we’d stayed at Sandakan, we’d have been all right.” When of course they would have been dead.

For as Bill Young was to write in his own verse 40 years later:

From Sandakan they came away

Stumbling on until they fell,

There along the track they lay

Leaving only six to tell.

Six. Only six of nearly 2300 Australian and British prisoners of war who were alive at Sandakan at the beginning of 1945 actually survived and came home. Six Australians. A thousand died or were murdered at Ranau, or on the three death marches by Japanese guards; the rest died of disease, starvation, by the sword and bullet at Sandakan itself, left to forage in the open like penned-up animals after their huts were burnt down.

Billy with Nelson Short left, and Keith Botterill, two of the six Sandakan death march survivors.

Where foul black swamp and deadliness abound,

There, falling leaf and twig became their shroud.

Indeed. It was one of the greatest atrocities of the Second World War, which God knows was a conflict redolent with man’s inhumanity.

We Australians think of those POWs forced to labour on the Burma-Thai railway, of whom about a third died. Of the prison camps in Japan and the islands. But for nearly half a century Sandakan largely faded from the public mind. After all, just six had lived to tell. Only in the last 20 years or so have historians begun to uncover the truth.

And today of all days at the national memorial, we remember and we salute them as equals among the 8500 men and women whose names are recorded here as having died in captivity.

“If only we’d stayed at Sandakan we’d have been all right.”

Scratch beneath the layers of those years.

Seek to find the reasons for our tears.

Unearth the splinted bones and rotting gear.

Uncovered the horror of massacres appears.

Billy wasn’t quite 20 when he got home to his grandmother at Hobart in October 1945. And after the first few difficult years of readjustment and coming to terms with the paradox that many ex-POWs face – namely, that freedom is at once more than it seems and less than it promises, once you take account of other people’s expectations – Billy settled into post-War life. Thinking that the experience of war and imprisonment had left him pretty much untouched.

He prospered as a young builder about town. He was rarely troubled by nightmares – for right to the end Billy the Kid saw prison as something of a game. A serious one. But a game to outwit the Kenpeitai, nonetheless.

He didn’t suffer a sense of guilt or shame for having been a POW – unlike his great mate, Paddy O’Toole, also of the 2/29th Battalion, for whom the fact that his own commanders had surrendered him into captivity was – and remained – the worst thing that had happened in his life.

Billy with Paddy O'Toole

Billy even became a counsellor at one stage, trying to help returned men faced with what we now recognise as post-traumatic stress disorder. And not always being able to save them from themselves.

He married. Had a family. But ultimately – like many others – his marriage failed. In his mid-50s he left – went to Sydney – and sought to re-establish a life that seemed to be headed for ruins.

And he has done so. To an extraordinary extent. Billy is one of the most admirable, generous and courageous people I’ve met.

For Billy the Kid, of course, was not untouched by his life as a POW. As he wrote:

Passing years did not erase

Scars from horrendous days

He just thought they had. For the remarkable thing about Bill is that when the ghosts of the past returned – as you know they will – he confronted them. Honestly. Bravely. And he sought to express them.

For many people when this happens, the response is often to turn inward and silent. Sometimes bitter. For a few, even violent.

Billy didn’t. He turned outward.

He taught himself to paint and to depict some of the worst of it. As well as the best. He taught himself to write his poems … and to tell his own story in his book Return to a Dark Age. He began to speak at RSL Clubs and meetings. To visit schools.

He’s returned to Singapore and Borneo several times. And I know when I went to Borneo for Anzac Day three years ago, and read some of his verse at the services we held, the words lit up the jungle with remembrance for those prisoners of war who suffered there.

Yet time’s layered swirl

Flowed to encurl

Such bitter memories

Within a priceless pearl.

The point I make is a simple one, but no less valuable I hope for the veterans and their families who are with us today. By seeking to express his own experience as a POW … the horror of it, and also the humour by which people survived … Bill not only helped ease his own burden. He has in many ways come to speak for those who, for all kinds of understandable reasons, have chosen to remain silent.

Most especially he has helped give voice not just to his dearest mates who did not come home, but indeed to them all:

Hardened in the fires of war

Prison Camps from Singapore

A jewel shaped; it shines

For men who are no more.

'Flying Practise' – group punishment of POWs at Sandakan, painting by Bill Young

By doing so, of course, he has done his best to ensure they are not forgotten. That the shame men like Paddy O’Toole felt for having been surrendered as a POW was in fact misplaced. That the fortitude, loyalty and mateship he showed on the Burma-Thai railway, for example, was in the finest traditions of our soldiering. Replicated many thousands of times over. As was Corporal Bob Shipsides, who was kicked and bashed for having poured a little water onto the lips of Billy the Kid, left beaten and broken outside the guardhouse at Sandakan camp, after his attempt at escape. Billy never saw him again. Yet such deeds do shine like jewels, and must always be remembered in our nation’s story.

Ladies and gentlemen, let us remember them all today at this national memorial … every one of Australia’s ex-prisoners of war. Let us honour them … and pay tribute to the ‘priceless pearl’ of that courage and sacrifice with which they also served their country.

Thank you.

Former Prosecutor Nat Edmonds Discusses the Implications of the Recent Changes to the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual (Part One of Two)

In November 2015, Deputy Attorney General Sally Quillian Yates announced that the section of the U.S. Attorneys’ Manual (USAM) codifying the principles governing the prosecution of business organizations had been updated to reflect the DOJ’s efforts to hold more individuals accountable for corporate criminal activity. Yates said the changes, which are publicly available, will give companies insight into how the government’s policy will be applied during the “everyday work” of federal prosecutors. Former prosecutor Nat Edmonds, now a partner at Paul Hastings, told the Anti-Corruption Report that the changes don’t indicate an actual “policy shift,” but rather a “formalization” of DOJ best practices. Yet, he emphasized, the subtle shifts in the USAM language may require a change in strategy when a company is faced with an FCPA investigation. We share his insight in a two-part series. See also “How Will the Yates Memo Change DOJ Enforcement? (Part One of Two)” (Sep. 23, 2015); Part Two (Oct. 7, 2015).

Travel Tips for your Australia Driving Holiday

Australia is a big country and although the roads are generally straight, you can cover considerable distances. Take your time and make sure to take plenty of breaks along the way.

The following tips are specific for Australian Driving Holidays:

Keep Left

We drive on the left side of the road in Australia, so stay left unless overtaking a slower vehicle.

Stay Alert

Drivers must stay alert and be aware of the road ahead and the surrounding areas. If you feel tired, pull over in a safe spot and rest. Passengers also need to be alert and help keep the driver focused on the road.

Avoid Peak Hour Driving

The main cities in Australia can be heavily congested during the working week (Monday to Friday), especially in the early morning (6am – 9am) and late afternoon (3pm – 6pm) peak travel times. We recommend you avoid driving in the Central Business District (CBD) at these times.

When approaching a roundabout you must give way to vehicles on your right. You must stay in the same lane when entering and exiting the roundabout.

Road Rules

Always follow the road rules. Pay particular attention to; speed limits, give way & stop signs, indicating lane changes and turns, pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, and traffic lights.

Never drink alcohol and drive!

Remember to drive to the conditions at all times. Drive to your vehicles limitations, and drive to your experience level.

Mrs. Inspektor always gave detailed, helpful comments that helped us to refine our writing. Additionally, I got great feedback from my classmates. We always went beyond what was required, swapping drafts and really supporting each other.

Scholastic Writing Awards Opportunities - Mrs. Serbicki´s 2016 Student Award Showcase

AP English Literature, Lilianna Meldrum Serbicki

Every year I encourage my students to take advantage of the opportunities the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards offers.  The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, a nonprofit organization, identifies teens with artistic and literary talent and brings their work to a regional and national audience through The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 regional affiliates across the country to bring the program to local communities. Students in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. These categories include memoir, nonfiction essay, short story, science fiction, poetry, humor, and more!

Achievement in Scholastic is not a “pie in the sky” goal – over the past few years, my students (including students in all courses) have won 12 Silver Keys and 10 Gold Keys.

While the primary group I encourage to submit to Scholastic is my Creative Writing course, my AP Literature and Language students have experienced great success as well. This past school year (2015-2016), two of my current AP Literature students shone brightly in Scholastic. I’d like to share their stories to encourage others to take advantage of this great opportunity!

David Heagy, who has taken both my AP Language and AP Literature courses (currently finishing AP Lit 2015-2016), shares about both AP classes’ role in his writing growth:

“Mrs Serbicki’s AP English Language and AP English Literature classes have been among the most valuable classes of my high school years. They helped me develop as a writer, exposed me to great works of literature, and steered the development of my rhetorical and analytical skills. Additionally, both courses helped me achieve good ACT and SAT II scores.

I used my midterm in AP English Language as a reference for my Scholastic Art and Writing awards entry and won a Gold Key for critical essay writing that year.  The Gold Key award qualified me for scholarship eligibility in competitive summer writing programs. It was a great summer as I attended two prestigious writing programs on full scholarship (over $1000 worth) with intensives in poetry and fiction.   The following fall, my AP Literature work inspired another critical essay which won a honorable mention, and the two essays formed the nucleus of my Scholastic Writing Portfolio Entry.  I won a Gold Key in that category in the very competitive region of New York City.  I believe those awards as well as my grades in these specific classes were critical assets in my college applications as a homeschooler.   I was admitted to all three of my college choices: a full ride at a public Honors College and 2 tip top Ivy League Universities. Her encouragement and criticism was invaluable.”

Our AP Literature midterm project is developed over multiple drafts and planning stages; a close planning process allows students to create a truly inventive and polished final product. It's a great term paper experience, and I encourage students to take our suggested topics in a direction they feel passionate about. David’s midterm essay for AP Literature was a comparison and contrast piece analyzing Akira Kurosawa’s classic film Throne of Blood and the classic play which inspired it, Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Here’s a short excerpt from his paper discussing the tense human drama of these stories:

"In exploring the struggle between duty and selfish ambition both pieces have unique perspectives. Throne of Blood presents the Great Lord arriving at Lord Washizu’s abode giving him charge over his vanguard army and Miki control over forces in Spider’s Web Castle.  Washizu is convinced that the Tsuzuki completely trusts him.  Why else would he give him this authority over his noble vanguard forces?  The ever-scheming Asaji deduces it is because it is the most vulnerable to enemy attacks.  By giving him command of the vanguard forces and Miki command of the Spider’s Web Castle, the Great Lord is sending his true councilor, Miki, to safety while sending Washizu into harm’s way, hoping that he will be slain in battle.

            Both scenes signify important differences and similarities between the film and play’s important main characters.  Macbeth and Washizu differ in terms of motivations and coping with their growing ambitions.  On the one hand, Shakespeare’s protagonist has, to some degree, accepted that he has a dark lust for power.  By privately describing Duncan’s son, Malcolm, as a “step” standing between him and the throne, he indicates that his “black and deep” desire (Shakespeare, I, iv) has a powerful desensitizing effect.  Also, in a self-discovering soliloquy, Macbeth eventually realizes he has no real motivation to kill King Duncan except his “vaulting ambition” (Shakespeare, I, vii) and has plenty of reasons not to kill him, including the fact that the king is righteous and loved by all.  On the other hand, Kurasawa’s samurai general outwardly refuses to accept that he has any hunger for power, which is a lie.  His self-deception is fueled by the requisite samarai honor and loyalty to his Great Lord, characteristic of the bushido code that thrived during Sengoku Period. “A true samurai would fight fearlessly for his master.” (Lester, 8) This element presents an intense inner struggle when pitted against the record of Tsuzuki’s previous treachery and the demon’s prophecy of his fate. Asaji’s cool persistence seals his dark descent as she hands him a spear.  Despite their different feelings and inner thoughts, Macbeth and Washizu both struggle to honor their sworn allegiances but fall victim to their appetites for advancement and power."

David is not the only AP Literature student to find great success in Scholastic this year!

Amanda Chang, a 2014-2015 AP English Language and 2015-2016 AP English Literature student, has also achieved highly. This year she chose the fiction option for her midterm project. The midterm fiction option is an alternative to the standard midterm literary analysis paper; in this option, students are able to write a short story expanding on a theme, setting, or issue, or literary element found in a work we studied. This was Amanda’s goal:

"I plan to write a short story containing the same theme of social rank found in Persuasion and A Room with a View. In India today, society still remains divided into various classes. The Dalits are at the very bottom of the caste system and face discrimination and injustice because of their birth. Upper caste members refuse to associate themselves with Dalits or even touch the same dishes or serving utensils a Dalit has touched. Dalits are the outcasts of Indian society, and this discrimination based solely on social class has deprived them of food, water, and adequate shelter. Many are mistreated physically and emotionally and do not have the same access to justice through police or India’s court system as the rest of the population. Even today, social class is still a huge issue in various countries around the world and exists as a barrier today, not just hundreds of years ago in England."

Her final product, a short story titled “Turning Pottery Shards into Hope,” inspired a Scholastic entry which earned a regional gold key. It contains compelling imagery and a moving individual story; choosing to write a fictional story allowed her to incorporate the elements we’ve studied (plot structure, narrative perspective, figurative language, tone, characterization, and more) in a significant and meaningful way. Here’s an excerpt:

"A mug erupts into broken shards of pottery, and the room falls silent, tumbling through space and time without a sound. The world has closed its eyes, and all one can hear is the tick tock of its giant heartbeat. Tea dribbles down the torn wallpaper of the crowded shop, and within a six-foot radius, slivers of jagged ceramic adorn the wood floor. The tension in the room is full, ripe, pregnant, like a balloon swelling with air, stretched to near bursting. Then one man raises his cup, self-consciously taking a sip, and the silence snaps.

            Dr. Vinod Sonkar abruptly stands, golden rays through the grimy window illuminating his heavy set brows and eyes almost as piercingly sharp as the pottery. Striding to the counter, he throws down a handful of rupees and brusquely leaves, the coins spinning and clinking, his boots thumping sharply upon the wooden floor, the room full of a thousand eyes. And for a split second, the men’s gaze lingers upon the broad back of Vinod Sonkar, pausing to wonder at the significance of the moment, one in 260 million rejecting oppression, demanding justice. But no, this simply is the cultural norm, a prevalent standard of normal, everyday living, and so the men turn back to their limpid tea, recommencing their gossipy chatter."

Arconic Postpones Annual Meeting Date

April 24, 2017

Announces Willingness to Nominate Two of Elliott’s Director Nominees in an Effort to Resolve the Proxy Contest

Arconic (NYSE: ARNC) today announced that it is postponing its 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders from May 16, 2017 to a date toward the end of May 2017. The precise date, time and location of the Annual Meeting will be announced at a later time.

During the past two weeks, Arconic has been engaged in extensive discussions with Elliott Management Corporation in an effort to resolve the pending proxy contest. The Arconic Board believes that a settlement on reasonable terms could benefit all shareholders by putting an end to this distracting proxy fight, so that the Company can focus on ensuring a seamless leadership transition and on executing its strategic plan. However, these discussions have not produced a settlement, as Elliott has repeatedly demanded an ever-expanding litany of settlement terms.

As part of its efforts to achieve a reasonable compromise to enable the Company to move forward, Arconic indicated in these settlement discussions that it is willing to select two of Elliott’s director nominees to join the Board. If two Elliott nominees are appointed to the Board, there will be eight independent directors who have joined the Board within the past 15 months, with five of the eight nominated by Elliott.

The Board has reviewed the qualifications of Elliott’s nominees and, if these nominees confirm by Wednesday, April 26, 2017 that they are willing to be interviewed by Arconic and to be nominated by the Arconic Board, the Board will promptly appoint the two nominees that it believes will be most additive to the Board and will nominate them for election at the Annual Meeting. If the Elliott nominees do not provide such confirmation, the Board will consider other alternatives, including nominating new independent director candidates identified through Arconic’s ongoing director recruiting process.

Arconic will amend and supplement its proxy statement and WHITE proxy card to reflect its revised slate of director nominees and provide shareholders with additional information regarding the nominees and the Annual Meeting. In light of the resignation of Klaus Kleinfeld, his nomination for election at the Annual Meeting has been withdrawn, and any votes for him previously submitted on a WHITE proxy card will be disregarded. However, if any shareholders previously voted on a WHITE proxy card and do not submit a new proxy card when the new proxy card becomes available, their prior votes will be cast for the Board’s other nominees – Amy E. Alving, David P. Hess, Ulrich Schmidt and Ratan N. Tata – subject to any prior instructions the shareholder provided.

On April 24, 2017, the Board of Directors sent an e-mail to Paul Singer of Elliott Management in reply to a letter Mr. Singer had transmitted to the Board of Directors on April 23, 2017. A copy of each letter is set forth below:

Dear Mr. Singer:

We were surprised by your letter of April 23, 2017, which appears to reflect a misunderstanding as to where things stand on our settlement discussions. Perhaps this is because, while your letter indicates that your team has now walked you through the settlement documents, we had been told by your representatives that you had been kept fully informed of, and weighed in on, the progress of our discussions over the past two weeks.

Your letter sent yesterday seems to suggest that we are just one open issue away from reaching an agreed resolution. But Arconic and Elliott had already reached an agreement on terms – twice. First, we had a very detailed understanding on April 16, 2017, until Elliott reneged (the “First Agreement Reneged by Elliott”). Then, we spent several days in further negotiations and reached a new, fully drafted agreement on April 20, 2017, which your team assured us that Elliott was prepared to sign – until two days later, when Elliott again reneged (the “Second Agreement Reneged by Elliott”).

The Operations Committee that you are now proposing was not a part of either the First Agreement Reneged by Elliott or the Second Agreement Reneged by Elliott. Furthermore, it reflects a fundamental gap between Elliott’s self-serving agenda and the commitment of the Board of Directors to good governance and proper Board functioning to protect the interests of all shareholders.

We appreciate your offer of a good faith effort to reach a deal, and to establish a productive working relationship. But after our experience with the First Agreement Reneged by Elliott and the Second Agreement Reneged by Elliott, we hope you can appreciate that we have real skepticism about your firm’s sincerity.

As you know, the Board of Directors has been prepared to appoint two of Elliott’s nominees – in addition to certain other concessions – in order to reach a reasonable compromise after Elliott’s principal objective (a CEO change) occurred. Your latest re-trade, adding your demand for a never-agreed Operations Committee with two of the three members designated by Elliott, in addition to your prior demand to designate three of the five members of the CEO Search Committee, simply confirms that Elliott is looking for a degree of control and micro-management over the Company, and critical Board functions and process, that is far in excess of what we believe is appropriate for a shareholder with a 13.2% stake in our common stock. In addition, we believe an Operations Committee could serve as a deterrent to what we believe is our most important task at hand – selecting a world-class CEO to be the next leader of Arconic.

We would prefer to settle the proxy contest on reasonable terms consistent with good governance, but we are not willing to agree to inappropriate conditions that give you undue influence and that are not in the best interests of all Arconic shareholders.

In an effort to move on from the distraction of the current proxy contest as soon as possible, we are prepared to appoint two of Elliott’s nominees to the Board and nominate them for election at the 2017 Annual Meeting this week, if your candidates will confirm to us by Wednesday, April 26, 2017, that they are willing to be added to Arconic’s slate of nominees and will meet with us this week for interviews so that we can determine the two candidates who we believe will be the most additive to the Board.

Finally, we appreciate your statement that you are prepared to “overlook this contest’s more personal elements.” As demonstrated by our actions and public statement when we became aware of the unauthorized letter you received from the Company’s former CEO, we feel that such personal elements do not belong in this proxy contest. Having said that, we must add that we do not believe your firm has chosen to rise above personal attacks in this process – to the contrary, your elaborate “fight deck” contains an extraordinary number of pages devoted to direct personal attacks on the Company’s former CEO. We hope that, going forward, your firm will focus on sound business arguments instead of personal destruction in making its case to shareholders.

The Board of Directors of Arconic Inc.

Paul Singer’s letter to the Arconic Board of Directors on April 23, 2017:

April 23, 2017
Board of Directors
Arconic Inc.
390 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10022-4608

Dear Directors of Arconic Inc. (“Arconic” or the “Company”):

I wanted to reach out to you directly as I understand that we are close to a deal. My team has walked me through the documents, and at this juncture, I believe a settlement makes sense.

Let me say at the outset that while these processes are always challenging, this one has been even more difficult than usual. Our respective teams have committed significant resources to making our cases, and in recent weeks things have taken a turn that no one could have predicted. For my part, I am willing to overlook this contest’s more personal elements in a good-faith effort to reach a deal.

However, given the former CEO’s abrupt departure, the presence of an interim CEO, and the operational issues experienced by the Company historically, I believe the agreement and press release need to signal (and in fact provide for) greater Board involvement in the form of an Operations Committee (the “Committee”). Many of you have been CEOs at your organizations, so you understand as well as I do that the task facing David Hess is a daunting one. The Operations Committee will give David a measure of support and cover as he navigates this challenging transition. In addition, the creation of this Committee will comfort the Company’s shareholders, who are very focused on Arconic’s operations and who have seen such committees work well at other companies.

With this letter, I have enclosed a new draft settlement agreement that includes the Operations Committee, as well as a new draft press release that includes the Committee and in all other respects simply discloses to the public the relevant contents of the settlement agreement. If there are no further changes, we are prepared to sign these documents today.

I hope that both sides will possess the wisdom not to let this opportunity at a settlement evade our grasp. I will make myself and my team available to meet with the Board at your convenience post-signing so that we can establish a productive working relationship and begin the process of moving forward.

Paul Singer

Tempe Center for the Arts

The Tempe Center for the Arts (TCA), completed in September, 2007, is a vibrant gathering place for regional performing and visual arts events. Although designed for all audiences, the facility is the new home of a number of children’s performance groups. TCA forms a crossroads for performing arts and park activities; framing scenic vistas, integrating pedestrian connections to a new riverfront park, and reflecting the important cultural traditions of the City of Tempe.

The Center's character reflects its function as a civic meeting place and a symbol of Tempe's desert landscape and history. Its design draws upon significant historic, climatic, and contextual traditions for inspiration, while utilizing modern technology to create outstanding performance spaces that promote flexible use and allow intimate connections between performer and audience. On the exterior, a curved concrete wall serves to enclose and unify the main building, while a sculptural shed roof provides necessary acoustical and solar protection, and serves as a memorable icon when viewed from the river area, landing aircraft, and the City of Tempe.

Episode 21: Emerging Art with Whitney Biennial Curator Christopher Y. Lew

executive editor of In Other Words

In Uncategorized

“We’re in a moment where we are all paying attention to what’s going on in the headlines. It’s hard to ignore a lot of those issues. Many artists are thinking about what kind of world their work is entering into, and how to respond to or deal with the times we live in”, says Christopher Y. Lew, co-curator of the 2017 Whitney Biennial. In this podcast he talks about time spent traveling across America researching the Biennial, his thoughts on emerging art and why he believes face-to-face interactions help curators connect the dots.

4 Reasons Your Business Needs to Avoid Payday Loans

Written by:

Spread the love

When operating a business, you will run into a time where you require an injection of cash. This could be for everything from financing a new piece of equipment to covering any debts that have built up.

As for where to find this additional money, one option is with a payday loan. A payday loan has several advantages. It’s easy to apply. You receive the cash in an instant. This type of loan is also available to those who have bad credit.

Despite these positive points, it’s generally recommended for your business not to get involved with payday loans. Why? Well, here are four reasons:

High interest rates

The biggest reason against payday loans is simple: the high interest rates.

When compared to a credit card, you will tend to be paying at least ten times as much interest with a payday loan. Yet it might not seem like this at first, because the short-term nature of a payday loan disguises the massive APR applied.

You can face expensive fees

Speaking of a payday loan’s short-term aspect, this often acts as a double-edged sword. While it’s good in the sense you can clear off your debt within a short period of time; it can also lead to issues.

As an example, the quick turnaround time might mean you fail to have the time to pay back the loan. This can then lead to fees being added to your loan. As you would expect, these fees are far from cheap – in fact, they could result in effectively doubling the amount of interest you initially needed to pay.

The debt can spiral out of control

For a business, a payday loan might seem innocuous enough. You generally cannot borrow too much money with this type of financing and payments need to be made relatively quickly. However, it can be the starting point for a life of debt misery.

For instance, you might hit a debt cycle where you continually borrow payday loans to pay off the previous one, and so on. If you remain on this path, the debt can swallow you and your business up.

At some point, a debt collection agency will likely get involved, and you could ultimately end up being sued. While you can receive help with debt lawsuits from a top firm, it’s something you want to avoid – especially for the sake of your business.

There are better options available

When factoring in the high interest rates and the possibility of costly fees, it’s fair to say payday loans are not among the best financing options on offer.

With that said, you might have a poor credit rating that limits the choices you can utilize. In this case, why not see if you can gain assistance with a personal loan from a family member or close friend? If you’re going with a payday loan in the first place, you don’t require a large sum of money. This makes it viable to get the money from someone you know, and on much more favorable terms.

Product description

The ancients were naturalists who lived simple lives but their knowledge about the workings of the universe was astoundingly deep. They knew that of the Panch Mahabhutas or the five elements, only Tejas or the fire element couldn’t be sullied, instead it had the innate power to purify everything it touched. They also discovered that the fire element was the only element that did not exist in nature and could be created by man. But not only was creating it difficult, understanding, sustaining and finally mastering it was even more challenging. Hence the seers bowed to it, according it awe and reverence; even worshipping it. The fireball in the sky was the live and vibrating manifestation of the fire element that could not only bestow life but burn to a cinder as well. If its potential could be harnessed by man, no feat could be insurmountable. So the Surya Namaskar was showing gratitude before the most powerful element in the universe. The Surya Namaskar is an excellent group of asanas which can be practiced on varying levels of awareness. For some it is a complete sadhna because it includes asana, pranayama, mantra chanting and meditation techniques. For others it is an exercise regimen to shed weight and remain physically fit. The twelve asanas are the physical structure around which the form of the practice is woven. Their performance, in a steady, rhythmic sequence reflects the rhythms of the universe, the twelve hours of the day, the twelve zodiac signs and the bio-rhythms of the body. This form and rhythm come together to nourish the body- mind complex generating the transforming force which produces a richer and more fulfilling life.

    Playing on the roughness and the life behind the cardboard, he applies black streaks of paint in dappled areas, vertically or horizontally; he then rips, cuts and tears off layers, until the corrugated texture hidden within appears. There is not a single collage in his technique: the volume comes in negative, inside the cardboard.

Henri Iglésis

France Born in: 1964
Henri Iglesis is of Spanish ancestry, born in 1964 in Perpignan, France, the city where he grew up, lives and works today. In 2008, this metalworker became a sculptor, through the surprising invention of a process that has become his trademark: sheet metal blowing.

The figure of his father, a turner-adjuster, was certainly determinant in the development of the young boy. Henri Iglesis spent his childhood in the studio of this craftsman, whom he fervently loved and admired.
"Don't touch anything, just watch and you'll learn," his young son was advised. Viewed in this light, it is easier to understand Henri's love of manual work and metals, which he was always exposed to and from which he draws his art.

Henri Iglésis finished his schooling in 1981, graduating with a double degree "sheet metal worker" and "welder". He set about working in his manufacturing studio without delay. He also kept regularly visiting his father's studio, in which he constructed diverse objects in hammered sheet metal. It was in 2008, as he was creating a statue representing his son, that the idea occurred to him to inject air into a piece of soldered sheet metal. He then proceeded to polish and develop this original process of shape-making, which is today officially registered, and the term "blown sheet metal" is copyrighted.

It is thus through the means of this singular technique that Iglésis expresses his whimsical artistic creativity and concretizes his overflowing imagination and mischievous sense of humor. His streamlined works are characterized by a feeling of lightness: a visual lightness of shined metal mixed with the soft flexibility of air. It is a colorful, playful and insouciant world that Henri Iglésis draws us into.

Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Help

Best UK USA Australia Canada UAE China Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Online Help Service

Backward integration in business is a form of vertical management. In this management, the merger or acquisition of a business occurs. But it is most essential to note that both the merging parties are from different positions of a supply chain. The buying of a wheat processing unit by a bakery to ensure its timely supply of wheat is a good example of backward integration. A supply chain typically begins with a supplier providing raw materials to the manufacturer and ends with a consumer receiving the finished item. It should be noticed that the bakery moves back in the supply chain while acquiring the wheat producer and hence the name. Such integrations are preferred to better the quality of raw materials and increase dependability for the same along with increase profit side by side. This also ensures a healthy business in the market. A global example of backward integration was set by Amazon- an online book seller when it bought a book producer. For insights on aspects and pros and cons of this process refer Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Help.

Integration Strategy

The integration strategies explained in Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Help are
• Breadth of activities: It is the measure of exact number of tasks undertaken in house by a firm.
• Degree of internal transfer: It is the proportion of transfer of materials or resources that occurs within the firms. Fully integrated firms have a hundred per cent or so transfer of resources or services. On the other hand tapered integrated systems have a part transfer of materials. The left out materials that are needed are acquired through other sources. For detailed understanding of different aspects in the strategy formulation, go through Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Help.
• Form of ownership: This reflects the proportion of a firm’s equity in integration. While fully owned ventures are at practice, quasi integrated or joint ventures are a better option for ownership. This is because in the latter risk sharing occurs. This means the losses are shared as much as the profits. For information on advantages and disadvantages of backward integration, go through Backward Integration Strategy Assignment Help.
• Advantages and disadvantages: While the backward integration ensures constant supply of raw materials, greater market share and better coordination in the supply chain, it also has some problems with it. There is lack of flexibility as a strong bureaucracy is administered. The supply of materials might be of sub-standard quality due to ownership of both distribution and supply. Also, the company might end up spending a lot if it is unable to manage the newly acquired firms after integration. The risks from legal front due to large size are a matter of concern.

RDS program takes historic step with inaugural showcase event

Another historic weekend for the Atlanta United youth training programs has come and gone, with the inaugural RDS Showcase at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Training Ground. RDS, or the Regional Development School, is the elite, tryout-based program for players aged 8-14, and the best of the best were invited out to where the pros train for a special day of high-level competition, all under the watchful eye of the Atlanta United Academy coaching staff.

“The level of play was particularly good given that this was our first showcase,” said program Director Dean Atkins. “Coming off the back of three seasons of RDS and identifying top players within the program, it was fulfilling to see the caliber of player the program is already attracting. Having an opportunity to showcase them in front of the Academy staff was a big step in the development of the Regional Development School program.”

It’s just the latest step for the program that has lined up success after success in just over a year of existence. With already two players chosen for the Atlanta United Academy, it’s giving players a chance to put their skills on display and take their game to the next level.

“It shows there is a pathway from RDS into the Academy that will hopefully lead to the pros as well, should they stay in the Academy and do well,” said Atlanta United Academy Director Tony Annan. “Having that avenue for discovery and player identification is a big thing for the Academy.”

“The showcase gives us the ability to recognize talented players, whether they be male or female, whether they’re 8 years old and just entering our pathway to the pros or they’re 14 and already playing in the Georgia soccer landscape,” Atkins added. “The goal is to showcase players to possibly be selected for the Academy, but for those that don’t quite make it there, we still support their development. If they’re not playing with our Academy, maybe they’re playing at a high level somewhere else with another Development Academy team, ECNL, or to whatever level they aspire to play. The goal of the program is to support them in their development, and exposing players to high-level environments and competitive play will help them achieve those goals.”

It’s not just about finding the best talent to play for the Atlanta United Academy, it’s also about fulfilling the club’s ultimate mission of growing the grassroots game all over Georgia. Because while not every player will play at the pro level, the training programs can teach every young player something about life or the beautiful game.

“Sometimes the best players don’t start off as great players, and we find that in the RDS program that the most successful players on the field –– and more importantly the most successful people in life –– are the ones that don’t take no for an answer,” Atkins said. “So, whether a player is going to our RDS tryouts and didn’t make it that time around, or they’re in the RDS program but didn’t get a showcase recommendation, or they’re at the showcase but didn’t quite get an invite to the Academy, the beauty of sports is that it is competitive. And that’s the environment that you need in order to thrive and keep developing. For those players that don’t get the news that they want, the goal is to prove people wrong, to not take no for an answer and use that as motivation to keep practicing and growing to showcase themselves in the future. We encourage players in the RDS program to keep coming back, not just to get great training with our coaches, but also to showcase themselves and how they’ve developed since we last saw them.”

“It’s a supportive program for players where they get additional training with the Atlanta United method,” Annan says. “In addition to their clubs doing a good job with them, they get an additional training night with our staff, which helps them technically. It also helps them become more confident and a better player all around. More training, and more importantly better training, makes you a better player.”

And as always, Atlanta United is committed to build on the success of the first season to take things to the next level in the second full year of the training programs.

“The outcome from the first RDS showcase is that we’re going to create two training groups in the Spring, with a view to showcase players further for selection for the United Juniors program and the Academy U-12 team to be formed in 2020,” Atkins says. “And hopefully it’s a cool experience for every player to come see the environment in which our first team, ATL UTD 2 and Academy train day in, day out in order to push on to the next level. To get some insight into what the looks like will hopefully inspire a young player that wants to keep playing the game.”
