Release:1998 / EU – Reissue
Genre:Electronic / Dance
"Enclosed by a beautiful silver, neon yellow and red colour sleeve, felix kubin's legendary debut "Filmmusik" has finally been reissued as a double lp. the bonus record features 7 extra tracks and musical sketches that didn't appear on the first version, among them a sleazy "Pornodisko" remix by Mense Reents (Egoexpress). Originally released in 1998, the album consists of two film soundtracks for Mariola Brillowska's animated cartoons "Katharin & Witt, Fiction & Reality" and "The Contr-Contras". The music balances the drastic contents of the films with a rather romantic mixture of 60's french film music, early new wave and electronic pop of the 90's, including some short original outtakes of the films."

About Chase Ink Cash Business Card

By J.R. Duren
HighYa Staff

Looking for a solid credit card to help start your business? We offer our review to assist you to find out if the Ink Cash Business Credit Card from Chase is your solution because starting a business can be an expensive proposition.

There’s an endless list of things you need to buy – office furniture, supplies, computers, marketing services and more.

The Chase Ink Cash card claims to a be a solid option for you if you’re looking for a credit card to help offset all the expenses you plan on having.

Currently, the card is offering 0% APR on purchases and balances transfers for the first 12 months, a $200 bonus if you spend $3,000 in the first three months. It’s also got some interesting features we’ll talk about in a few minutes.

Is it worth it to sign up for this card? We wanted to know, so we did some research on the card’s benefits, fees, how it compares to other business cards and what other people are saying about it.

We’ll talk about each of these aspects, then end with our final observations about this card.

What Kinds of Benefits Does This Card Offer?

Cash is the big reward with this card. You’ll get 5% back on what you spend at office supply stores and on phone, internet and TV. You get 2% back on gas and restaurants, and 1% on everything else.

The rewards end once you spend $25,000 across all categories. The rewards you rack up during the year are paid out on your card’s anniversary date. You can choose if you want those rewards applied to your statement, transferred to a bank account or used for rewards like travel, gift cards and other perks when purchased through the Chase Ultimate Rewards program.

How Much Cash Can You Get Back?

In our opinion, there’s a lot of potential to get cash back here, especially if you plan on making big purchases in the next year. Think about it like this. If you know you’re going to spend $25,000 on furniture, supplies and computers at Staples, for example, you’re going to get $1,250 back. That’s a nice chunk of change at the end of the year, especially for a new company.

We think this perk alone could be a great reason for getting this card, especially if you know you’re going to hit the $25,000 limit with 5% purchases.

Additional Cards, Keeping Track of Your Spending

Business owners can add employee cards, set the spending limits on those cards and also get all the rewards points from those cards.

The card also comes with the Mobile Ink app, which lets you take photos of business receipts, tag them and file them for future accounting.

We believe this card has a decent set of benefits, but what about the fees you’ll have to pay? We’re covering that in the next section.

What Kind of Fees Come With This Card?

The Ink Cash card has a 13.49% APR. Be careful, though. If you make one late payment or have one payment returned, that APR will jump to 29.99% and may, according to Chase, stay that way for the rest of the time you have the card.

To give you an idea of how much that could cost you, let’s say you rack up $20K on your card six months into it. You’re still under the 0% APR, but imagine you, for some reason, forget to make your payment and you’re late. Your minimum payment on $20K before the penalty would be $600 based on the higher end of typical minimum payment rates.

With the penalty APR, that minimum payment jumps up to $1100. Our thoughts? Pay on time!

The card also carries a 3% foreign transaction fee and late fees ranging from $15 to $39.

How Does The Chase Ink Cash Business Card Compare to Others?

We wanted to get a sense of how the Chase Ink card fared when compared to similar cards, so we did a little research on the American Express SimplyCash card and the Capital One Spark Cash for Business.

The Amex has a 5%-3%-1% rewards tier that’s identical to the Ink in the 5% and 1% categories. But, their 3% tier only lets you choose one type of purchase. For instance, you can choose restaurants or gas, but not both like you can with the Ink.

SimplyCash offers a bigger cash bonus ($250 for $5K in purchases), but only has a nine-month 0% intro APR and standard APRs are between 12.49% and 19.49%, which is higher than the Ink’s straight 13.24%.

These numbers lead us to believe the Ink is a better choice for business owners. When compared to the Capital One Spark card, we think the Ink wins out as well. It has a lower APR (13.24% vs. 17.24%), a higher annual fee ($59 after the first year vs. 0$) and a single 2% rewards category for purchases capped at $25,000.

What are Other People Saying About the Ink?

Personal finance site Nerd Wallet’s Ink Cash page has seven reviews averaging 2.5 stars. Common complaints focused on Chase’s customer service rather than the card’s terms or rewards. The Ink gets 3.8 stars on Card Hub and a 2.4-star rating out of 19 reviews on Credit Karma, where users frequently complained about customer service and confusing changes to credit limits and APRs.

Positive comments centered on the rewards, with several different reviewers saying they use their Ink to automatically pay for their phone, internet and cable expenses.

These reviews are tricky because they knock the card for poor customer service, something unrelated to the decent benefits Ink offers.

Our advice? If you’re the kind of business owner who likes constant communication with your credit card company, our research shows you may be frustrated with Chase.

However, if you value good cash rewards over good customer service, it’s our opinion you’ll probably enjoy your Ink card.

As a side note, the Mobile Ink app gets poor reviews in Apple’s iTunes App Store (1.5 stars) and the Google Play store (2.5 stars). Reviewers said the app’s current version (at the time of research) is buggy and relatively unreliable.

Is the Chase Ink Cash Card Worth Your Time?

The Ink card offers some pretty impressive cash-back rewards for small business owners. As we pointed out, if you use your Ink to make $25,000 in purchases at office supply stores and for phone/internet/cable, you’re going to get $1,250 back every year. That, in our opinion, is a great perk.

We also think the 0% intro APR for the first 12 months is also a nice boost for a business owner who needs to make big purchases soon. But, this benefit comes with a warning. Pay your bills on time; if you’re late once, the 29.99% APR will kick in.

When you compare this card to other cash-rewards business cards, we think the Ink rates pretty well against the competition.

Now, we know that choosing the right business card is a really important decision. There’s a lot of money at stake, especially if you plan on spending $25,000 a year. Our advice is to take your time and do research. We’re constantly updating our reviews, so check our Credit Cards section; the most recent reviews are on the right side of the page.

Also, we found a really helpful article from The Wall Street Journal about how to choose the right credit card for your small business. They talk about a lot of the factors we mentioned in this article (APR, rewards, penalties), as well as give you several tools for helping you decide which card is best for you.

TEMPORARY traffic lights that are causing mayhem on one of the main routes into Hinckley should be gone by the end of the week.

Roadworks at the junction of London Road and Park Road have been causing tailbacks all the way back to the M69 roundabout, near Stoney Stanton, over the last few days.

But Leicestershire County Council have stated that the work, which is seeing developer Bloor Homes make a sewer connection for the new homes being built on the former North Warwickshire and Hinckley College site, should be completed by Friday (May 18).

Elsewhere in the town, drivers have been confused to find traffic lights in place on Coventry Road that, despite being in use earlier in the month, are currently switched off.

The lights are linked into advance works as Severn Trent replaces sewer pipes along the busy road next month and are expected to be gone by Friday May 25.

With all the commotion currently on the town’s roads, a councillor is calling on residents to have their say.

Cllr David Bill (Lib Dem, Clarendon) said: “I would welcome people’s views on Hinckley’s traffic problems and what the solutions could be.

“When there are problems on the M69 or A5, we always bear the brunt of it. We simply can’t build new roads so we have to find alternative ways of making the traffic flow. While all the building work is taking place, everyone is going to have to plan their journeys better and leave a little earlier. There are only two crossings over the railway so whenever there is a problem, it causes a big knock-on effect for the rest of the town.

“We are resisting the worst of the recession and people want to invest in the town, so we are facing the consequences of our own success.”

A Leicestershire County Council spokesman said: “The permanent three-way traffic signals in London Road at the Park Road junction have been switched off and a set of temporary three-way traffic signals are in place.

“This is to enable contractors working for Bloor Homes to make a connection to the existing sewer.

“We have asked that this work is carried out before June 6, as that is when Coventry Road will be closed for up to six months to enable Severn Trent Water to replace sewers in the carriageway.

“The works at London Road should be completed by Friday May 18. We have asked the contractors to manually operate the temporary three-way traffic signals through the peak periods, to increase efficiency.

“The temporary traffic signals on Coventry Road are advance works in connection with the sewer replacement starting on June 6. They are authorised up to May 25.”

Failure of Miltefosine Treatment in Two Dogs with Natural Leishmania infantum Infection

Dipartimento di Scienze Veterinarie per la Salute, la Produzione Animale e la Sicurezza Alimentare, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via G. Celoria, 10-20133 Milano, Italy

Two dogs, with naturally acquired canine leishmaniasis, were treated orally with miltefosine (2 mg/kg q 24 hr) and allopurinol (10 mg/kg q 12 hr) for 28 days. Both dogs showed good initial response to therapy, with reduction in clinical signs and improvement of clinicopathological changes. However, in both dogs, clinical and clinicopathological abnormalities recurred 150 days after initial treatment and a second course of miltefosine and allopurinol was administered. One dog failed to respond to the 2nd cycle of miltefosine treatment and the other dog responded initially but suffered an early relapse. Treatment with meglumine antimoniate (100 mg/kg q 24 hr for a minimum of 4 weeks) was then started in both dogs. Both dogs showed rapid clinical and clinicopathological improvement and to date they have not received further treatment for 420 and 270 days, respectively. In view of the low number of antileishmanial drugs available and the fact that some of these are used in human as well as veterinary medicine, it is of paramount importance that drug resistance is monitored and documented.

Mirror Prescription Regression: A Differential Interferometric Technique

Center for Applied Optics, University of Alabama in Huntsville, 301 Sparkman Drive Huntsville, AL 35899, USA

Received 9 September 2010; Accepted 21 November 2010

Academic Editor: A. Beléndez

Copyright © 2010 Brian M. Robinson et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

We present a remote, differential method for measuring the prescription of aspheric mirrors using null interferometry in the center-of-curvature configuration. The method requires no equipment beyond that used in a basic interferometery setup (i.e., there are no shearing elements or absolute distance meters). We chose this configuration because of its widespread use. However, the method is generalizable to other configurations with an adjustment of the governing equation. The method involves taking a series of interferograms before and after small, known misalignments are applied to the mirror in the interferometry setup and calculating the prescription (e.g., radius of curvature and conic constant) of the mirror, based on these differential measurements, using a nonlinear regression. We apply this method successfully to the testing of a Space Optics Research Lab off-axis parabola with a known focal length of 152.4 mm, a diameter of 76.2 mm, and an off-axis angle of 12°.

Inhibition of corrosion of aluminium in acid solution by methanol extract of Citrullus colocynthis plant has been studied using mass loss and thermometric measurements. It has been found that the plant extract act as a good corrosion inhibitor for aluminium in all concentrations of sulphuric and hydrochloric acid solution. The inhibition action depends on the concentration of acid and inhibitor. Results for mass loss and thermometric measurement indicate that inhibition efficiency increase with increasing inhibitor concentration. The inhibition action of the plant extract is discussed in view of Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It has been observed that the adsorption of the extract on aluminium surface is a spontaneous process. The plant extract provides a good protection to aluminium against corrosion.

A night walk reveals the good ghosts, bitter spooks and curse stones of Mumbai

Join Khaki Tours to make your way through dimly lit alleys, winding roads and eerily quiet parts of Girgaum.

Grisly Girgaon Ghost Walk
  • WHERE: SK Patil Udyan to Charni Road station
  • WHEN: Next walk on September 17, 10 pm to midnight
  • COST: Rs 699
  • CALL Khaki Tours on 88281-00111

Every area in Mumbai has a story, and sometimes a resident ghost as well. At least that’s what Bharat Gothoskar, 43, founder of Khaki Tours, will tell you.

He narrates a series of thrilling and macabre stories on the Girsly Girgaon tour, always ending with a characteristic ‘believe-it-or-not’ grin.

The two-hour night walk takes you through narrow, dimly lit alleys, eerily silent roads and deserted areas.

Smaller shrines on the trail are dedicated to Babdev or Good Ghost, who protects the area from the big, bad, bully ghosts. (Satyabrata Tripathy / HT Photo)

“In the 18th and 19th century, people came to cremate the dead by the sea,” says Gothoskar. “The sea-facing area on the west coast called Backbay is where the ghost stories begin.”

Ghotoskar’s tales range from the morbid to the intriguing and downright bizarre. Neighing horses have been heard in the dead of the night in Kranti Nagar chawl, which was once a stable for the horses of British officers.

There are tales of Maan Kapya, the headless hunter who would behead lone wanderers by trapping them in the labyrinth of alleys in Khotachiwadi.

Strange sounds could be heard from his abandoned furniture godown in Mugbhat Lane. (Satyabrata Tripathy / HT Photo)
Ghost busting 101
  • Pop culture, legend and lore have created their own rulebook for members of Mumbai’s afterlife.
  • Brahmo rakshasas are proud of their learned ancestry, so don’t get into a debate with them.
  • Munjas are restless children who haunt trees and annoy young women.
  • Dakin are ghosts of married women who have not had their fill of wedded bliss and hence are bitter.

History mixes with hearsay on the tour. “The Pimpalwadi temple in Mugbhat Lane has a 500-year-old curse stone from the Shilahara period, with an explicit engraving of a woman and a donkey,” says Gothoskar. “It says if anyone dared to violate certain orders, their mother will be cursed to copulate with the animal.”

But all’s not morose and disheartening. Thakurdwar has a temple built to protect the neighbourhood from evil spirits. Smaller shrines on the trail are dedicated to Babdev or the Good Ghost, who protects the areas from the big, bad, bully ghosts.

“Growing up in Mangalwadi, in a lane between a Sunni Kabrastan and a Shia Kabrastan, I knew never ever to look back if you were walking home alone at night,” says Saish Khandekar, 25, an architect who participated in the walk. “Today, I am not afraid, but after this I sure have a lot more stories to spook people out with.”

I declare:  You are overflowing in the fullness of the righteousness of Christ Jesus, as you become the tithe of God, being spilled out and poured out as a drink offering to others, knowing the treasure of Heaven, where your heart is storing up the Revelation of Christ Jesus, revealing the nature of God’s promise to others!

I declare:  You are given a new anointing, a fresh anointing, where you run into the call, and are strengthened for the promise, giving yourself fully to the power of Holy Spirit, Who shows you all things to come!

In Jesus’ Name!  Amen and Amen!

God bless!

*  *  *  *  *  *  *

Saints of God, know that the Father is taking you up to a higher anointing of the righteousness of Christ Jesus, as you have decreased and He has wrought forth more humility in your soul, causing you to abound in great grace, to know the POWER OF GOD!

God is revealing His purpose and plan of GREAT HOPE to the saints, giving them strength in the trial to overcome the powers of darkness, as they are set free in their soul, from that which has oppressed them, knowing the deliverance of their God, Who is Mighty to save, heal and deliver to the uttermost

A saint crying out to God for fullness of deliverance and the manifestation of salvation.

Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please as it is that time in the proceedings where some of the performing cast members are traditionally required to say a few words. So here goes to 10 minutes of bad jokes that the writers were convinced were funny, some embarrassing stories that will make everyone cringe, and then some heart tugging messages just to balance it all up!

I will start by introducing myself – I’m Stephen – the Father of the Bride. I have the dubious honour of being the warm up act before the real speeches. I do confess to being a bit nervous today as I have rarely had the chance to speak for a few minutes and be listened to at the same time. That is because I have lived in a house with a wife and two daughters for a long time now. This is going to be a whole new experience for me!

Firstly, I would like take the opportunity to welcome friends and family to this very happy occasion – the wedding of Kelly and Gavin. For those that don’t know Kelly, Gavin or me…..can I ask what you are doing here, because I think your wedding reception is down the hall.

Before I go any further, I am sure you will all agree how beautiful the bride, Kelly is. That dress is stunning. You look every bit the model bride. Your Mum and I are so proud of you. Of course, a word for her sister Holly as bridesmaid. That dress looks beautiful too. Finally, George as the Page Boy – who may well have stolen the show in his cute little suit.

I have been under strict instructions not to embarrass Kelly – which I won't of course. I shall save that for the dance floor later with some epic Dad dance moves – after a few drinks, of course – I’m not that confident!

I have watched Kelly grow up in to a beautiful, intelligent and very calm women. I am so proud of you. It only seemed like yesterday when we would see her galloping around the garden with her giddy-up stick horse. She never did grow out of her undeterred love of horses. It cost me dearly as she bought her own horse “PD” with the Share Options I was saving for a future wedding. So, sorry about that Gav!

Kelly’s transition from a teenager needing a free taxi service to a driver was an interesting time. Oh how I got the budget wrong! I thought 10 lessons and a bit of Dad time at the car drome in Hornchurch would have got her through. Not quite! A lot of lessons later and quite a few retests, and she did get there. Now she drives a car and a large horse box vans, so not fazed by anything. Except that is – a moments lapse of concentration by filling petrol in to a diesel car and wondering why it would not start the next morning. The till receipt from the petrol station said it all. Oops!

Gavin, may I say welcome to the family. You have seen us warts and all, so as you did turn up today, that must mean we aren’t that bad! I can see you will make a splendid so-in-law. You clearly love Kelly and look after her. What more can a parent want for their daughter, so thank you.

Our only advice to you both is to always put the other one first and talk about everything openly and honestly. A marriage should be a partnership. If you both do that, you will always be happy and know you have someone you can rely on.

And whilst you have each other, don’t forget that you’ll always have the support of your family and friends. You will not get rid of us that easily!

To you both, it is worth bearing in mind, neither of you will ever be perfect, but you can be a perfect match for each other. A successful marriage is not about finding a person you can live with, but finding a person that you can’t live without and I know that you’ve found that with each other. You make a great team and wonderful parents to George.

So finally Ladies and Gentleman, I’d like to ask you to please stand and raise a glass to join me in a toast to our two VIP’s, my daughter Kelly and my son-in-law Gavin, who happen to be the Bride & Groom.

My toast is “To the Bride and Groom”

Thank you for listening.

Speech: 3 of 425 | First  |   |   |  Last

So pleased that my speech went down so well. My daughter was quite emotional about what I said so that makes me feel like the speech set the right tone. The really funny stories were soon to follow with the Best Man speech. Now that can't be published here!

Filipina Girl goes to Saudi Arabia

Filipina Girl goes to Saudi Arabia
The story of life passes by us daily, everyone has a unique story, I listed to Bing and Christie tell me theirs today in the Mini Mart at 7:30 am.

Bing is on the left, Christie is on the right, I spied them walking around near Robinsons Mall at 7:00 am in the morning. They looked out of place, for sure, Christie is, and maybe Bing has been around the block a few times.

Malate Ermita Mabini Philippines
Southeast Asia
Tuesday, September 22, 2009
Buy the Same Gear as Andy uses… Sold at three times the price, sorry.

Bing the aunt of Christie came from the province of Pagansinan to help Christie leave to work in Saudi Arabia as a house cleaner or domestic help. The husband for some reason could not make it…

Christie has a husband and one child; she will be gone for two years. I asked,
“Aren’t you afraid your husband will find a new wife?”
She said,

I whispered very quietly, below the conscious level of shame and truth, just quiet enough for her to gracefully ignore, she is look at me, she is reading my lips.
“Bola Bola.”

I took these two photos with my Cell Phone camera, the reflection off the glass, the surreal nature of the moment; the sweetness of Christie was painful. I spied her because she did not fit in, like a precious stone. This neighborhood around Robinsons Mall in Ermita, Mabini, Malate area of Manila is broken, it is full of damaged good, what was she doing here?
“She was NOT wearing high heels, she had on flats, with a face full of innocence, she was getting read for the slaughter.”

I walked a way, suddenly the words of a song came to my head, I am not sure what the mean and why they came to be associate in my brain at the moment I walked away from two people I will never see again in this life.

“I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromising‘
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.

That is it, I know I could feel the words,
There's been a load of compromising

Well, I wish fairy tells came true, and I am sure for 1 in 1000 people, they do find the fairy tale. Maybe this is the bargain we make, we all agree to stand in line, wait our turn, and then God throws the dice, and up pops the lucky seven. Unfortunate for the majority, we throw the dice too many times until we lose it all.
(I doubt my Mother knows how the came of Craps is won or lost, and for this I am grateful.)

I personally would have love to discouraged her, I said,
“Be very careful, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Dubai and Saudi Arabia will hire you pretty young Filipina girls and suddenly you need to please the boss. You are between a rock and hard spot, and all you wanted was to make money.

I do not believe this, I believe there is a There's been a load of compromising‘ and they know the game.

Nevertheless, we must allow the shell game to be played don’t we, we must allow the stories to be told and we should all agree to nod our heads and pretend it is going to lead this person to where the lights are “shining on them.”

No Bola Bola Zone, I have lost my Indiana innocence, I am not sure I am able to return, it is highly possible I am damaged goods.

I was walking around the corner trying to avoid having water drip on my head; I did not want to be slimed here in Manila too early in the morning the day is starting. I am singing in my head,

“Like a Rhinestone Cowboy.”
What is this, I cannot understand, but I do understand.

Maybe a fake cowboy, Elvis in his old age, like this man, broken and damaged working his way toward nowhere.

There's been a load of compromising‘
On the road to my horizon

Christie is off to get her Moral Cherry Popped.

The words to the song are from Glen Campbell in a song called Rhinestone Cowboy, truly I thought I hated the song and had done my best to ignore it, I guess if found a spot in my brain to reside.

Getting cards and letters (comments) from people I do not even know.

How do you sleep?

Find bed pillows that fit your sleeping style and keep you comfortable through the night.

Look for a softer, thinner pillow that doesn’t put strain on your head and neck.

Try a firmer pillow that supports your head, taking pressure off of your neck.

A contoured pillow provides support for your head while keeping your spine in a neutral position.

Find the right balance of support and softness for changing sleeping positions.

A Pike Road Neighborhood Report From 4 Wallz Real Estate

Posted by Craig Schaid on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2015 at 2:37pm.

As a leader in Real Estate in Pike Road, AL, we wanted to keep you abreast of what is happening in and around the Pike Road neighborhoods. If you are familiar with what’s been happening lately, it comes as no surprise for me to say things are going NUTS in this bustling little community we so love. We are seeing cow pastures turn to rows of homes in a very short time!

Nobody would doubt that the number one stimulant was the opening of the Pike Road School! The Patriots are in full swing, and so is the housing market! Not only is the home count on the rise, fortunately for a suffering housing market over the past year, the home prices are on a steady incline as well.

Real Estate Market Chart by Altos Research www.altosresearch.com

This is great news to the folks who are looking at selling and not being upside down like so many were for a few years. Directly in line with the rise in price, you guessed it, a severe decline in inventory! These two often go hand in hand.

Real Estate Market Chart by Altos Research www.altosresearch.com

Within the Pike Road city limits, you have several neighborhoods that are just selling as fast, or in many cases, faster than the builders can build them. We spent some time to show you what’s taken place year to date in these neighborhoods.

Woodland Creek Neighborhood
41 homes sold
Range: $193,700-$439,900
Bon Terre Neighborhood
14 homes sold
Range: $240,000-$356,000
Providence Neighborhood
25 homes sold
Range: $245,999-$362,000

The Waters Neighborhood
39 homes sold
Range: $230,000-$686,472
Boykin Lakes Neighborhood
20 homes sold
Range: $265,849-$370,930
The Orchards Neighborhood
This is a newer neighborhood that already has 6 properties pending, but hasn’t closed any at the time of report because they are still being constructed. Look for them to start building momentum in the coming months!
Range of homes offered: $214,900-$409,900

As you can see, Pike Road, Alabama is no longer a little town in the country. The growth is only the beginning we feel. The commercial real estate sector typically trails the residential in growth so we believe over the next couple years there are going to be very changing times in the Pike Road commercial real estate landscape. With 100’s of families moving to town, the need arises for gas stations, restaurants, shopping choices, etc.

If you have thought about making the move to Pike Road, the time is NOW. As you can see the prices are on the rise and the interest rates are still very low. If you are curious, don't hesitate.

Flat-fee listing company Redefy Holdings just capped off its first funding round since Chris Rediger was named CEO back in July.

The company did not disclose how much it raised, but it did disclose that the investment came from a private investment group led by James Albertelli and that, with this equity investment, Redefy’s post-funding valuation is now at $25 million.

As part of this transaction Albertelli will join Redefy’s board of directors.

"This funding positions Redefy well to enhance our software platform and begin to consolidate fragmentation that exists in the real estate market.  We are excited to partner with Jim, who sees the opportunity to make meaningful changes in the space,” Rediger said in a statement.

"The added equity capital will allow us to increase our footprint and help further our goal of providing consumers with a better way to sell a house and save them thousands of dollars in the process," he added.

According to its release, Redefy will use the new funds to develop its platform and gear up for future acquisitions.

"We believe that Redefy's technology platform and business model has the potential to truly disrupt the real estate market," James Albertelli said in a statement.

"We are excited to be involved in fueling the company's growth."

How to Install Mautic Marketing Automation Tool on CentOS 7

Mautic is an open source and self-hosted marketing automation tool for everyone. It allows you to grow up your business, monitor your website, create landing pages, create campaigns for your business, manage contacts, and send marketing emails.

In this tutorial, I will show you step-by-step how to install Mautic Marketing Automation Platform on CentOS 7. It's a web-based application, and we will be using the LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP) stack for our installation guide.

  • CentOS 7 server
  • Root privileges

What we will do

  1. Install EPEL Repository
  2. Install Nginx Webserver
  3. Install and Configure MariaDB
  4. Install and Configure PHP-FPM
  5. Download Mautic
  6. Configure Nginx Virtual Host for Mautic
  7. Mautic Web-based Installation

Step 1 - Install EPEL Repository

The first thing we must do is to add new EPEL repository to the system.

Add new EPEL repository to the CentOS 7 system using the following command.

yum -y install epel-release

New EPEL repository has been installed and added to the system.

Step 2 - Install Nginx

Install the Nginx web server from the EPEL repository using the following yum command.

yum -y install nginx

After the installation is complete, start the service and enable it to launch at system boot.

systemctl start nginx
systemctl enable nginx

Now check it using the netstat command.

netstat -plntu

And make sure you get the result as shown below.

Check if nginx is working with the netstat command

Step 3 - Install and Configure MariaDB

Mautic offers support only for the MySQL database with min version 5.5.3. For this guide, we will be using the mariadb-server 10.0 based on MySQL 5.5.

Install the mariadb database using the yum command below.

yum -y install mariadb-server

After the installation is complete, start the mariadb service and enable it to launch at boot time.

systemctl start mariadb
systemctl enable mariadb

For security reasons, we need to configure the mysql root password.

Run the 'mysql_secure_installation' command as shown below.

And you will be asked about some mysql configuration - see below.

Set root password? [Y/n] Y
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y

The MariaDB installation has been completed.

Next, we need to add new database and user for the Mautic installation. We will create a new database named 'mautic' with user 'mauticuser' and password 'aqwe123'.

Login to the mysql server using the myql command.

mysql -u root -p

Now create new database and user using the mysql queries below.

create database mautic;
grant all on mautic.* to 'mauticuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'aqwe123';
flush privileges;

Create mautic database

The MySQL database and user for mautic installation has been created.

Step 4 - Install and Configure PHP-FPM

Mautic requires PHP 5.6.19 (at-least) for installation. And for this guide, we will be using PHP-FPM 7.0 from the 'webtatic' repository.

Add new 'webtatic' repository for PHP 7.

rpm -Uvh

Now install PHP and PHP-FPM with all required extensions using the following yum command.

yum -y install php70w-fpm php70w-mbstring php70w-xml php70w-mysql php70w-common php70w-gd php70w-json php70w-cli php70w-curl php70w-zip php70w-xml php70w-mcrypt php70w-imap php70w-intl php70w-process

PHP and PHP-FPM with all required extensions have been installed. Next, we need to configure PHP and PHP-FPM.

For this, we need to edit the 'php.ini' file and edit the php-fpm pool configuration file 'www.conf'.

Edit the 'php.ini' file using vim editor.

vim /etc/php.ini

Uncomment the 'date.timezone' line and set the default time zone to 'UTC'.

date.timezone = "UTC"

Uncomment the 'cgi.fix_pathinfo' line and change the value to '0'.

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

For the PHP session path configuration, uncomment the 'session.save_path' line and change it to the '/var/lib/php/session' directory as below.

session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"

Save these changes and exit the editor.

Now, edit the PHP-FPM pool configuration file 'www.conf' using vim.

vim /etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf

Change the default user and group for PHP-FPM to the 'nginx' user.

user = nginx
group = nginx

Instead of using the system port, PHP-FPM will be running under the sock file. Change the 'listen' line as shown below.

listen = /var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock

Now set the owner of the sock file to the 'nginx' user with permission '660'.

listen.owner = nginx = nginx
listen.mode = 0660

That's it for this file. Save and exit.

Next, create a new directory for the PHP session file and change the owner to the 'nginx' user.

mkdir -p /var/lib/php/session/
chown -R nginx:nginx /var/lib/php/session/

Now start the php-fpm service and enable it to launch at system boot.

systemctl start php-fpm
systemctl enable php-fpm

PHP and PHP-FPM have been installed, and the latter is running under the sock file.

Check it using the netstat command below.

netstat -pl | grep php-fpm.sock

And you should get the result as below.

Configure PHP

Step 5 - Download Mautic

Create a new directory '/var/www' and enter it.

mkdir -p /var/www
cd /var/www/

Now download the mautic source code using wget, then extract it to the 'mautic' directory using the unzip command.

unzip latest -d mautic/

Note: If you get a result saying 'unzip command not found', install the package using the following yum command.

yum -y install unzip

Now change the ownership for 'mautic' directory to the 'nginx' user and group.

sudo chown -R nginx:nginx mautic/

Mautic source code has been downloaded, and the '/var/www/mautic' directory will be the webroot directory for mautic.

Step 6 - Configure Nginx Virtual Host for Mautic

For this guide, we're using Nginx instead of Apache web server. In this step, we will configure the Nginx virtual host for our mautic installation on the CentOS 7 system.

Goto the '/etc/nginx' directory and create a new file named 'mautic.conf' under the 'conf.d' directory using the vim editor.

cd /etc/nginx/
vim conf.d/mautic.conf

Paste the following Nginx virtual host configuration there.

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    root /var/www/mautic;
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

    location ~ .php$ {
      include fastcgi.conf;
      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;

    location ~* ^/index.php {
      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+.php)(/.+)$;
      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
      include fastcgi_params;
      fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
      fastcgi_buffers 256 16k;
      fastcgi_busy_buffers_size 256k;
      fastcgi_temp_file_write_size 256k;

That's it. Save and exit.

Now test the nginx configuration and make sure there is no error. Then restart the nginx service.

nginx -t
systemctl restart nginx

Nginx virtual host configuration for mautic has been completed.

Configure Nginx, test and apply the config

Step 7 - Mautic Web-based installation

Open your web browser and visit the mautic domain name, mine is:

You will be redirected to the mautic installation page. There, make sure all the extensions and configuration has no error.

What is a social entrepreneur?

Social entrepreneurs differ from commercial entrepreneurs in that they seek to fundamentally and permanently alter the context which gives rise to the opportunities and challenges for which their solutions are designed. Unlike commercial entrepreneurs, when social entrepreneurs say that they want to “work themselves out of a job” they are not making a glib statement to sound cool, they are merely stating the obvious.

Bright Simons

Bright Simons

All this presuppose that social entrepreneurs will be more interested in understanding the social, socio-economic, political and cultural context of the problems they are trying to solve more than the traditional entrepreneurs.

It is unthinkable for instance to imagine a social entrepreneur treating the research conducted into the effects on the human body of tobacco use in the way it was by the tobacco industry, market analysts and public investors of the 1960s and 70s. It is the business of a social entrepreneur to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to the social impact of various phenomena, and if that means greater deference to academic research, then so be it.

That is why social entrepreneurs were among the most enthusiastic popularisers of concepts like C.K. Prahalad’s ‘bottom of the pyramid’, that began life as research output from academia. Social entrepreneurs have also been some of the most attentive followers of the academic debate between the likes of Mark Pitt and Jonathan Murdoch about whether microfinance really helps reduce poverty. The most intrigued have even gone back to the original writings of Lysander Spooner on the subject two centuries ago.

The reason is perhaps straightforward, the stakes are higher for social entrepreneurs. If Jonathan Murdoch and his collaborators are right in their calculations, then microfinance – in particular, microcredit – does not benefit the poor in the way it should, and a social entrepreneur working in the area of poverty-reduction cannot view the tool as a handy ally in her toolbox.

When I decided to get involved in helping find solutions to the problem of counterfeit medicines, I couldn’t simply confine myself to investigating whether there would be a market for the solution. I had to assure myself that counterfeit medicines are indeed the primary bad stuff to go after in the complex socio-economic mix of patient abuse and supply chain crime. I read, among many others, the writings of researchers such as Roger Bate and Paul Newton. I and the social enterprise community had to assure ourselves that we had a sufficiently robust analytical basis in which to ground the search for solutions.

True, a commercial/traditional entrepreneur invests substantially in research too. But only to assure herself that someone will pay a decent price over a period of time to make the development of the solution worthwhile. That the person paying the price sufficiently benefits is actually secondary. What matters is that he should be willing to pay.

Of course, in a reasonable number of cases the benefits are real, and this leads to sustainable traditional enterprises. Which is why some have argued that ultimately all enterprises shall be ‘social enterprises’. Also, in many instances, social enterprises fertilise the way for commercial enterprises to follow. They till the ground when it is still not clear whether a viable commercial model exists.

When social enterprises finally make headway, commercial enterprises jump into the newly created industry and seek to standardise returns from the new ‘value class’. Social entrepreneurs are seen as ‘leaving value on the table’ when the evidence shows that over time they generate completely new value classes.

Today micro-packaging, for instance, is finally being taken seriously by giant, multinational, fast-moving consumer goods companies. A few decades ago, only social enterprises saw anything in this approach of retailing items in small enough consignments affordable to the poor.

But these examples should not confuse us of the essential difference in focus between social and traditional entrepreneurs: one’s goal is to fix the social problem by experimenting with commercial model after commercial model until a sustainable way to fix the problem at its very root is found. The other’s goal is to standardise the commercial model and to fix the problem only to the level that allows that model to be standardised.

Thus intensive knowledge about the social problem is a bigger burden for the social entrepreneur than it is for the commercial entrepreneur. Whilst living in the community and partaking of its most organic activities usually suffices for some problem-solving, it is not sufficient for technically complex and/or diffuse challenges like fighting supply chain crimes.

In these circumstances the social entrepreneur has no choice than to become an analytical social entrepreneur. She may even have to develop sufficient expertise to sift through academic research in order to harvest knowledge by weeding out ideas sown through vested interests and ideological dogmatism.

We can generalise this finding in another direction. When you take a continent like Africa where the value chain of most existing industries are fragmented, entrepreneurs often struggle to standardise commercial models simply by ignoring the bulk of the problem and focussing on a smaller, repeatable, bit.

They must often enter partnerships that are more organic than transactional in order to build the value chain into which their problem shall be plugged. They also need to embed themselves much deeper into the cultural and social matrix as transactional rule of law, contractual, and regulatory systems are often rudimentary and have often been more personalised and socialised than elsewhere. This can make distinguishing between social and commercial entrepreneurship in Africa a tad more difficult. But the point remains that social entrepreneurship is a vital foundation block for any system that seeks to uproot social problems anywhere, and in places like Africa it is not only essential, it is indispensable.

Why Tropical Power sees big potential for biogas in Africa

TropicalPower 600x300

In Naivasha, about 90km north-west of Kenya’s capital Nairobi, stands one of Africa’s first grid-connected biogas plants. Commissioned earlier this year, the US$6.5m Gorge Farm Energy Park biogas plant generates 2.2MW from organic crop waste sourced from a neighbouring 800ha farm, owned by VP Group, one of East Africa’s biggest exporters of fresh vegetables.

In coming months a 10MW grid-connected solar PV plant will be added onto the power facility. The biogas project is expected to have an almost six-year payback period from a combination of grid sales and supply to the neighbouring vegetable farm. The farm will also receive 35,000 tonnes of nitrogen-rich matter as a by-product from the biogas process, for use as fertiliser.

Making money while making a difference

It all started when one of VP’s directors, James Cartwright, met Mike Mason, an energy expert leading a research programme at Oxford University developing new anaerobic digestion technology. They first developed the concept and then brought shareholders together to set up Tropical Power Energy Group – an engineering, procurement and construction company that built the Naivasha biogas plant.

Anaerobic digestion is a natural process in which bacteria break down organic matter in an oxygen-free environment to form biogas.

“They saw a great opportunity to take technology in Europe and develop it across the continent because there is not a big biogas sector in Africa,” says Johnnie McMillan, managing director of Tropical Power.

The opportunity for Kenya to “produce electricity from biogas is huge”, McMillan explains, due to the country’s big agricultural industry and the presence of many large scale farms. According to Tropical Power’s calculations, if organic waste from just 1% of Kenya’s landmass was deployed in biogas plants, it would produce the equivalent of the country’s entire grid connected electricity capacity.

At its farm in Naivasha, VP Group generates thousands of tonnes in waste every year. About 50,000 tons of this organic waste will be supplied annually to Gorge Farm Energy.

“Our investors are passionate because this is clean technology and it fits with an agricultural operation. The shareholders want to make a difference to the planet and when you find a technology that can make money and can contribute to the green revolution across the world, then that’s a feel good factor for investors. In a nutshell, they can make money and make a difference,” says McMillan.

In Africa there are small-scale biogas projects but McMillan says investment into large scale grid connected plants haven’t picked up due to limited understanding of the technology amongst would-be investors, and unfavourable tariff rates offered by utilities.

Expansion into rest of continent

Tropical Power is eyeing opportunities to work with other feedstock partners in developing more projects across the continent. By 2018, the company plans to have built renewable power assets across Africa producing over 130MW.

In Ghana, it is already preparing for the construction of the biogas and solar Kpong Farm Energy Park. The project will rely on waste sourced from the 1,000ha Kpong Farm – owned by VP Group – located at the south-east corner of Lake Volta.

“Our real focus is establishing a platform for growth across Africa,” says McMillan.

Tropical Power’s expansion into other countries will be guided by stability of the local power utility. In Kenya, transmission, distribution and retail of electricity is handled by state-run Kenya Power, while in Ghana it is controlled by Electricity Company of Ghana.

“One of the big attractions for Kenya is that Kenya Power is a very strong utility. It has a very strong track record of payment and so it is attractive from a point of view of raising money. The number one thing lenders look at is how safe the utility is [in terms of payment] if you are doing a grid-connected project.”

The growth of biogas energy in Africa is also reliant on the availability of good talent. Tropical Power’s operations are headed by Mike Nolan, an energy expert who has built 56 power plants in 22 African countries, installing a total of over 1GW of diesel-generated electricity. The company sent its engineering team to Europe to be trained by its partners – US multinational General Electric and Germany-based Snow Leopard Projects GmbH.

“We want to lead the biogas sector development in East Africa and across Africa. So we are investing in our team to make them experts, [and eventually] the plant in Naivasha will become a centre of excellence for Kenya and for the biogas sector in general,” says McMillan.

Jon Stewart Rips Mitt Romney's Southern Pandering (VIDEO)

As GOP candidates head to Alabama and Mississippi for Tuesday's Republican primaries, Jon Stewart took a closer look at frontrunner Mitt Romney's campaign strategy during Monday night's "Daily Show."

It turns out that Romney's plan consists of little more than using Southern slang and talking about regional breakfast food. Stewart showed a glimpse of his campaigning in Alabama, in which Romney greeted supporters by saying, "Mornin' y'all! Good to be with ya. I got started right this morning with a biscuit and some cheesy grits, I'll tell ya. Delicious."

Stewart questioned Romney's strategy, saying:

"You're a guy that looks like you just stepped off the Monopoly board. You really think you're going to appeal to Southerners by finding reference with them on the issues that matter most to them: their accent and choosing the right breakfast starch?"

Stewart also criticized Romney's disingenuous attempts at trying to relate to Alabamians ahead of the primary, showing a video of the former Massachusetts governor sharing the stage with Randy Owen, lead singer of the popular country rock band Alabama. "Wouldn't you just love to hear him sing 'Sweet Home Alabama'? Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Romney asked the crowd, unaware that "Sweet Home Alabama" is by Lynyrd Skynyrd, not Alabama. Owen graciously obliged anyway, coming up on stage to sing the song, but as Stewart noted, "Everything Mitt Romney knows about the South he learned from a Jeff Foxworthy routine."

Stewart then treated the audience to a Foxworthy impression, fake moustache and all, and some "You Might Be A Romney" jokes:

"If you have a car on your front lawn because your garage only holds five cars...If you go to the diner and order your eggs Fabergé...If you think 'Cloverfield' was a movie about your butler, you might be a Romney!"

Watch the full clip above to see Stewart lay into Romney about his Southern campaign strategy and his pandering to voters.

KISS Frontman Gene Simmons: If Immigrants Want Success In The U.S., 'Learn Goddamn English'

Gene Simmons, nee Chaim Witz, immigrated to the United States with his mother when he was eight years old. In the 56 years since, Simmons has carved out a place in music history with his band, KISS, and become a cultural icon. As an immigrant who found such monumental success, he has some blunt advice for others who come to America in search of prosperity.

Simmons stopped by HuffPost Live on Monday to chat about KISS's new tour and the reality series "4th and Loud," which documents the band's Arena League football team, the Los Angeles Kiss. The conversation quickly turned into Simmons opining about immigrants today and their reluctance, in his mind, to learn English.

"I'm actually saying the thing that needs to be said because the politically-correct climate is bullshit," Simmons told host Ricky Camilleri. "You don't want to upset anybody by saying, 'Learn to speak goddamn English.' So, as an immigrant, I'm telling you: learn to speak goddamn English. It is the key that will unlock the keys to the kingdom."

Pressed on the matter, Simmons didn't back down from his position.

"How about this: if Siri can't understand you, you're in trouble," Simmons said.

Simmons expounded on his views for more than 10 minutes, as you can watch in the clip above. Catch the rest of Simmons' hijinks in the full HuffPost Live conversation here.

The 5 Biggest Financial Strains of Young Startups

Financial stability is one of the hardest, yet most important tasks young startups must commit to achieving.

There are many stresses of being an entrepreneur of an emerging company. You worry about hitting your revenue goals. You worry about being viable or competitive in the marketplace. You worry about growing at a rate that's neither too fast nor too slow. You worry about the personal savings you've likely put up to fund your initiative. You worry about making your investors and supporters proud.

All of these concerns are multifaceted, but they can all be traced back to one thing: making enough money as a company. To be successful, you'll have to bring more money in than you spend on internal resources, and these five financial strains are the most significant factors you'll have to consider:

1. Production Efficiency. This is the amount of money it costs to produce a product or execute a service. In your business plan, you likely have a projected cost basis, but there may be hidden factors you haven't considered, such as additional shipping costs or additional man-hours necessary to oversee the production. Try to keep your production costs as low as possible, as this will be one of your most consistent expenditures.

2. Consistent Revenue. Building an initial stream of revenue is hard for young companies because your first customers will be unpredictable. The foundation for a successful, consistent revenue stream is recurring customers -- so do everything you can to retain the customers you do attract, and get them to buy again. Also be sure you've priced your products and services appropriately -- slim margins can kill even the best-positioned companies.

3. Workforce Balance. Your workforce should be able to handle exactly the amount of work that comes in -- not more, not less. If you're understaffed, your company runs the risk of collapsing. If you're overstaffed, you'll lose tons of cash. Add employees gradually, and rely on a network of independent contractors to fill the gaps in the meantime.

4. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing are necessary expenditures for startups -- without name recognition and visibility, you'll never be able to grow your business. Still, calculating ROI is tough and keeping that ROI positive is even tougher. Stick with the most cost-efficient strategies you can, but never stop investing in yourself.

5. Cash Flow. Just because you're profitable on paper doesn't mean a negative cash flow can't ruin your business. Put checks and balances in place to ensure your bills and employees are paid on time, and that your customers are paying you on time as well.

If you can conquer these five financial strains in your startup, there should be few obstacles remaining in your course to financial stability.

How Sandy Clean-Up Brought Day Laborers Out of the Shadows

When Sandy hit last October, the Northeast shoreline seemed to freeze: people were stranded in flooded homes, businesses shuttered, downtown Manhattan's lights went eerily dark. But the paralysis wasn't total--the area began buzzing immediately with invisible workers. The day after Sandy was just another day of honest work for the "casual" manual laborers who would spent months cleaning, gutting and rebuilding homes and businesses across the stricken area, often in grueling conditions with little protection from collapsing walls, toxic mold and other hazards.

A study published late last month by researchers with the City University of New York's Baruch College reports that after Sandy, many of these day laborers--a workforce that is typically dominated by Latino immigrants and considered a "casual" or irregular part of the construction trade--were unnecessarily put in harm's way amidst the haphazard recovery process.

Based on interviews with workers and advocacy groups in New York and surrounding areas, the researchers found that while demand for day laborers spiked post-Sandy, working conditions sank even lower than usual. Flooded areas were quickly awash in contractors and desperate homeowners seeking quick, cheap labor to fix their property damage, which led to a perfect storm of risks, ranging from injuries and toxic exposures to wage theft by crooked subcontractors.

The researchers note that many day labor sites belied major safety threats, such as "industrial cleanups involving warehouses that stored pharmaceuticals and in hospitals." And in many cases, homeowners who informally hired day laborers for immediate clean-up did not understand the complex hazards involved with clean-up, demolition and rebuilding, leaving workers even more vulnerable.

Report co-author Hector Cordero-Guzman says that although everyday conditions are harsh for day laborers, following a natural disaster on the scale of Sandy, the work becomes more hazardous:

There's more potential exposure to toxics, contaminated air and water, all kinds of particles, potential for electrical shocks because of wires [and other dangerous] damage that is not particularly obvious to the eye ... which means that they need to have training, to have the right equipment, to have the right set of resources and infrastructure to support that work.

More formalized union construction workers tend to be equipped with gear, safety training and healthcare coverage. But there are generally fewer protections for low-wage day laborers, by virtue of the precarious labor structure that keeps them in the lowest rungs of the trade--short-term, less stable work. And when injuries occur, workers tend to avoid seeking treatment, perhaps wary of a healthcare system that could lead to high costs or run-ins with immigration authorities.

For manual laborers, there were a few bright spots in Sandy's wake. Despite the heavy risks, the post-storm employment prospects were, to many impoverished workers, a welcome uptick in labor demand. The surge in employment in turn highlighted the presence of local worker centers--broadly defined as community-based labor and social-service groups for workers--available to protect workers from exploitation and injury. Just as many grassroots post-Sandy volunteer efforts stepped in to fill gaps in the official disaster response, worker centers like the Brooklyn-based Workers Justice Project and Staten Island's El Centro del Inmigrante, along with the advocacy organization National Day Laborer Organizing Network, offered safety and know-your-rights trainings, with support from city and federal labor authorities. Many workers relied on these centers, according to the report, as a "primary and often only source of trainings, as employers almost never provided any protective equipment or information on how to protect workers, but focused exclusively on explaining the particular job they wanted the worker to do."

The workers centers also run hiring halls, as an alternative to the typical method of picking up a job by waiting for prospective employers to drive by a designated street spot. The hiring hall model allows workers to gather indoors and more formally negotiate job terms, and helps workers organize with each other as well.

In addition to connecting workers with advocates, Sandy bred solidarity between labor and volunteers, as workers, many of whom were affected personally by the disaster, aided with "free" relief efforts. As one interviewee explained, participating in volunteer relief helped "to make ourselves known as the first groups of workers that were willing to help after Sandy; to make ourselves more visible and gain a good reputation." So workers came to be seen as genuinely invested in the community's recovery, rather than outsiders looking for work.

The main lesson of Sandy, researchers argue, is that both workers and the government benefit when there is greater inclusion of the day labor sector in disaster preparedness plans. And it's critical for federal, city and state authorities to keep up that engagement of day laborers year-round to prevent day-to-day exploitation on worksites. One way to start would be to support the worker centers, which the researchers say are mostly still too small and underfunded to meet the sector's needs for comprehensive labor protections.

Although Sandy may have prompted the government to reach out to day laborers, Cordero-Guzman stresses that emergency relief efforts in many cases lead employers and regulators to allow bosses to cut corners, or to ease up on labor regulatory enforcement to "cut red tape" and speed rebuilding efforts (as when the wage regulations were temporarily suspended in the Hurricane Katrina recovery effort). He says:

In the end, what we may be saying is, well let's suspend labor regulations and labor laws because it's a time of crisis so that more of these poor disposable immigrant workers can be paid less and be exposed to potential health issues that we may have to live our entire lives with, for basically $100.... I don't buy that, I think we're better than that. That's why we have a government and that's why we have disaster relief agencies.

Day laborers are often seen as liminal, transient workers, toiling outside of public view. But Sandy showed how closely connected they are with the fate of the communities they serve. Now, in the narrow gap between the wake of the last storm and the onslaught of the next calamity, day laborers are in danger of being forgotten again by the neighborhoods that they risked everything to help rebuild.

Review from Gorger Reviews

Posted by Nick Skog on Thursday, September 22, 2016 Under: English
From: Gorger Reviews
Published: September 3, 2016

Fully aware of Hypnotic Dirge Records' reputation, the label amongst other cooperate closely with Solitude Productions, I said yes to review this without knowing what I was in for.
When it appeared that Frigoris didn't fit into the safe, good death/doom profile, but rather colours the world dark grey with sombre blue shades in the form of monotonous post-metal, I was about to resign.
Let me nonetheless present Nur ein Moment… für Sie, der liebt post-metall.

When the band calms the pace and presents beautiful, tearful melancholy, the band's rather graceful melodies shine through. As usually, the melodies are often presented via, or even behind, generic shoegaze riffs.
In conventional manners, the melodies are fair, but as so often within this genre, they differ not from the masses. The vocals are angry and black, but the overall mood is neither completed furious, hateful, black, depressed or devilish. Vocals without hope, over tunes with a hint of sunshine, just feels whiny and emo and I become dejected and impatient. Will these six songs never finish. With a duration of over 50 minutes, the album feels as if it'll last for half an eternity.
The violin in closing Station is however gorgeous as hell. I'll give the emotional Germans that.

This most certainly didn't become the objective review I originally had in mind, but hey, fuck it. We all have different tastes, and this album is really quite nice. I'm just tired of self-pitying monotonous moaning. If you have a taste for what I am weary of, fairly regular, whining and complaining post-monotony, it may very well be that you will embrace the quartet's third full-length album, Nur ein Moment…
Ergo, you're strongly advised to form your own opinion!

Bindi Irwin Appears Beautifully Dressed At The AACTA Awards

Posted: Jan 31 2014, 11:27am CST | by , Updated: Jan 31 2014, 12:49pm CST, in News | Other Stuff

Bindi Irwin appears Beautifully Dressed at the AACTA Awards
/* Story Top Left 2010 300x250, created 7/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "8340327155";

The late Steve Irwin aka Crocodile Hunter had a daughter who appeared at the AACTA Awards. Bindi Irwin was beautifully dressed in a black floral print that was the center of attention at the show. She is a young adult by now and shares her legendary father’s adoration for animals and Nature.

Bindi Irwin was a little girl that was her daddy’s favorite. But that was once upon a time before her father, Steve Irwin tragically died when a stingray’s barb penetrated his heart. She has grown up into a beautiful woman by now and has only fond memories of her famous father.

Steve Irwin used to put him self in dangerous situations and had a deep love of the wild. Bindi too absolutely loved all sorts of fuzzy animals. There is even a picture of her with a koala bear. The Aussie recently appeared at the AACTA Awards in a black dress that made her look smart and stylish.

Bindi has metamorphosed from the cute little girl who wore khakis into a full-fledged adult who is sensible and has a lot of fashion sense. She played a role in a movie “Return to Nim’s Island” recently. The woman is infatuated with environmental causes just like her father.

Wildlife conservation is something that lies close to her heart. Furthermore, she says that her father gave her a piece of advice before he died that has resonated with her ever since. He told her that you have to treat animals with respect if you want to be treated in a similar manner in return.
